My respects to this driver here!! I'm a driver(North America)and i haul doubles 53ft's, with A type dollys and those can be a pain to back up, especially on gravel or dirt lots, this guy does it FREQUENTLY!!😂.
Yes. All respect to this driver and yes, he did it often 😊You are a truck driver? Like the job? Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
@@TomasVarg yeah I mainly drive to and from Mexico into America and vice versa. In America I haul a single 53ft and double trailers( in Mexico known as full), diesel and the open road is all I know and love!
Sounds nice. How is Mexico? 😊
Remember this is manual. In north America you drive only automatics
@@erickarangwa949 big negative there driver!!! I drive a peterbilt with a 18 speed transmission. There in Australia It is full of automatic gear boxes. Seen many pov of Aussie truckies and noticed it there here in the west there is but real old school guys have manual.
True professional Aussie driver doing an awesome job. Full respect to you. Most people can't reverse a car.
That is so true 😊👍🏼 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
I CAN,T EVEN BACK-UP MYSELF, I END UP BANGING INTA STUFF !!
I just retired 44 years of trucking. My hat is definitely off to these guys. And new Zealand.
I'm one of them, lol
They are on the edge with reversing a bike....
Notice how it wasn’t just positioned for a straight backup, he had to maneuver it into place. The pin didn’t even touch the sides of the plate to help it center itself, he was dead nuts centered on it! Professional! Beautiful truck bud 👍
Correct, he knows what he is doing. A truck god. Thank you for comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
@minnesotatomcat....without taking away any of your compliments to the BAA-combo driver's maneuvering capabilities.....here is a small tip: if you align the (in this example) the rearmost right corner of the lead pup to the frontmost right corner of the trailing-pup, the kingpin of the latter will always be centered on the 5th wheel plate. (now, that example can be used in North America or Europe too, but the description would be "align the rearmost-left corner of the lead-pup to the frontmost left corner of the trailing pup). Y ou can also avoid pin-centering slides when hooking up a simple tractor to a semi, by aligning the outer left rear-drive tire-shoulder to the front-left corner of the semi-trailer you want to hook up to....it will have the same effect....the kingpin will be centered!
I believe the title to this video to be wrong. It should read "BAA', NOT "AAB". Ps: I am a retired Aussie truckie who has pulled multiple trailers more than once...but I still give this driver credit for his multiple reversing skills. That dolly appeared to hit the king-pin spot without touching the sides !!
Oh, i didnt know that mate. Thank you for helping me out with this, i really do appreciate it. Yes, the driver is amazing 😊👍🏼
Over the years I learned how to back up super b and did a job that sometimes required parallel parking the unit to get of to the side to allow enough space to offload with a moffett forklift. This guy is very good. When other drivers that were not to confident in their skills, I would suggest practice and practice some more and never be afraid to get out and look where your at for clearance. If they appeared uneasy I would tell them about my first time backing up a super b. My buddy after we finished fueling the truck said : Just run it over to the left side and back it into a large open area. I said I didn't know how. He said he had to talk to the fuel station manager and to give it a go. I circled around to the right and went back around and was on the left side of the pumps and into the open area that I needed to go to back in and park. I knew i had to get the unit straight and then slowly back up. Problem was I didn't know which way to steer the tractor to then steer the front trailer that steered the rear trailer. I would get crooked and have to pull forward to get straight. Back up 40 feet, pull up 60 feet to get straight. Back up 35 feet, pull up 50 feet to get straight. Instead of backing up I was gradually making my way to the front edge of the property. I looked over and my buddy and the fuel station manager were bent over laughing at my actions. Eventually I got better. There was a guy on the internet comment about a truck driver only needing a grade 4 education. I'd like to see a grade 4 do what some truck drivers do for skill level. Well done Australia. Some of the world's best drivers.
I found that one of the most important things to remember when reversing multiple trailers is to NOT turn your steering wheel very much at all. If you do, the first thing that happens is you get the prime mover and dollies crossed up, and you cannot retrieve them without pulling forward...which was possibly one of the first things you also experienced when you started. When it comes to the steering wheel, "less is more" !!! Cheers...Trev.
Thank you for sharing your story mate. Cheers 😊
@@trevorkerr9536 The thinking process to move backwards is a single trailer you steer the prime mover which we call tractor is to steer the opposite direction to where you want the trailer to point, on a B train with 5th wheel in middle you steer the same way as you want the rear trailer to go and I suppose with the A frame dolly behind that you would then steer the opposite way again. But the game of catching up becomes impossible with more pivot points and so as you stated correctly straight with small corrections is best. On a B train or Super B which just has one more axle on the bridge the 2 trailers can be steered around a 90 degree corner or more backwards as long as you have enough room up front for the tractor and front trailer to manuvere. I would tell guys that were learning to think of the angles like a game of pool. The greater the angle required the greater the angle input required and learning when to start to catch up.I have parrallel parked B trains but am a novice compared to what you guys do. Cheers from Canada.
I caravan around Australia and these guys are the best, also they have to deal with me on the hwy. We must give them respect always.
That is true 👍🏼😊 Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
Thank You driver. Finally a non truck driver that realizes 160 tonnes and a bull bumper could cause a slight crease in the sheet metal.
Funny how life turns around ! I did 40 years in trucks all over Australia 🇦🇺 ! And caravans the Bain of a truckies world , Now I am retired the wife and I hook up the wobbly every chance we can ! But I do my best to give The big fellas priority and keep them safe !
In Albuquerque we got people who can’t even back out of a Walmart parking space. Great skills Mr. Trucker. 👌🏾
Haha. LOL 😂 Thank you for the comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
Try adding to that list my wife backing out of the 2-car garage in her Honda Insight.
Yep that's why Asda GB booted most polish drivers dents etc Dartford.
I'm impressed! This from a 45 year log truck driver who has spent the last 20 years pulling a "super train" which consists of a long logger and a short logger. A better man than I.
Yes, this driver has skills 😊👍🏼 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
What about the places you would've had to get your combination in and out of? Ideal weather... and not so Ideal.
@@paulsiebert4863 Depends on the roads. Black top you're Ok. If you're accessing via a dirt road then you'll get road condition reports via the grapevine radio.
Now that is a true professional driver, and driving a KW built in Australia to boot. Fantastic job Sir.
The driver is awesome 😊👍🏼 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
So often I see people who can't reverse their cars this guy is reversing something with 4 pivot points just amazing really. Aussie truckers really are the best in the business. I'm visiting Adelaide next February for my brothers wedding can't wait to see Roadtrains in the flesh.
That is so true, cant reverse at all 😂 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
There is six pivot points in a quad set-up like that if he has bull race that makes 10, 2 dolly and 4 turntables but also you have to include the pivot points on the ring feeder as well
How big is his engine and trans
So true
Count again, there are actually 6 pivot points two dollies are involved with 2 pivot points per dolly. I too am totally impressed.
That's an 82 wheeler, respect.
Yes. Respect 😊 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it 😊 Have a nice day 😊
You better recount mate , its actually 142.
@@andrewmcintyre8774 ...how do you figure? The combo has 21 axles, the first (steer) has 2 wheels, the remaining 20 axles each have 4 wheels. So, from where I went to grade-school (Switzerland) and did my 2.5 mio Kms of trucking (accident & claims-free) is Canada & USA, 20 x 4 = 80, plus 2 = 82 wheels....where did you find the remaining 60 wheels on his BAA combo?
@@andrep8287 The extra 60 are all the spares carried to compensate for the crap corrugated dirt roads of Central Australia. Jokes aside, the skill and courage shown to take a couple hundred tons into those remote parts of Australia is incredible.
Well done to both the driver and the guy doing the video, no jumping about shoots, perfect panning.Thd driving was on another level .
Thank you so much, i really do appreciate it. Have a nice day friend 😊

I've driven B-train propane trailers here in Canada, and sometimes hooking up and backing up these trailers in uneven surfaces is difficult. Hooking up 4 trailers, that's skill, that's amazing.

He actually reversed 3 trailers (including the dolly), wow.
Yes. He has skills 😍 Thank you for your comment, inappreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
For a skilled driver 2 trailers is relatively easy but add a short framed dolly and it goes to another altogether level. Notice that he never let the entire unit get too bent out of shape because you can't catch up to the dolly. I would guess world wide he is in the top 1 % of all truck drivers for backing up skills. Australian drivers some of the best. From a Canadian driver. Cheers.

Excellent backing up
Yes. I agree Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it 😊 Have a nice day 😊
The backing whit the dolly after a b-train was impressing. He said the grossweight was 160 ton on the full combination but he must have been unloaded here, the way he took of.
I agree: for 160 tons he took off too easily and the tanks sounded hollow and empty driving over the bumps. Also: 160 tons with 600hp must be a nightmare going up hill! I remember 75 tons with 600hp which wasn't a walk in the park when climbing. Anyways, nice video but some more 'camera on the action' would've been better.
The driver told me that if he miss a gear in a up hill he must stop. If he try to start from zero in a up hill he ruin the drive shaft Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day friend 😊
If you miss a gear, you drop 2 full gears and just maintain
@@baeruuttehei1393 A long continuous grade of 10% at 75 tons would make 600 hp snort. I doubt that with 160 ton the truck would climb an extended grade over 5 to 6 %.
@@baeruuttehei1393 This is probably Adelaide to Katherine which is flat and straight.

Wow. Very cool. I can reverse some things but I'd have to wait for Continental Drift to bring those two together. Had to look up the load and wikipedia says UN1270 is "(UN No. no longer in use) petroleum fuel, generally used in Australia where mixed refined petroleum products are carried in the same tanker i.e.: petrol/diesel/kerosene/toluene etc. (UN No. no longer in use)". Clearly it is in use! Thanks for sharing.

I once saw a road train triple reverse up to another triple road train thats starter motor had stuffed up hook up a tow bar and give it a tow start once the second road train started they took off the bar and the road train who was tow started took off for Adelaide it occurred in Katherine in 2000 when i was hitching around Australia
WOW. Sounds like a great travel 😊 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it. Have a nice day 😊
Great job, take nothing away from driver But.. always..always give it a test tug, just to make sure jaws are locked! Its amazing how far they can go before trailer comes off!
I agree Thank you for the comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
@user-th5mh5zz7z....i quite agree with you observation, and must say that most of the professional-driver vlogs out on YT don't do the tug-test anymore either. And I always teach my drivers to perform the tug-test twice....because if the jaw-lock is not properly adjusted, doing the tug-test only once may give you a false sense of security, while the king-pin has in fact slid-back about 2 inches (i.e. the tractor moved about 2 inches forward, but the trailer stayed put). If the jaw-lock is secure on the first test, it will still be secure on the subsequent tug.....but if the jaw-lock wasn't secure on the first tug, the trailer will slide off the 5th wheel bottom plate and the king-pin flange will get hung up on the frame's rear-most cross-member, which will be a heck of a job to get the trailer cranked up with the landing gear, because the pin-flange getting hung-up on the cross-member's c-channel. (and, it makes a hell of a racked when the trailer slides off.... so better make the racket in the yard, then when pulling out onto the street, and your bosses get woken up from their beauty-sleep in the exec-offices hollering ...."WTF !?!?!"
An interesting thread, lots of things I took for that granted every professional operator knew, seem not so common now. A mate went for his heavy artic licence and was told to leave truck in gear and foot on clutch at traffic lights! so ready when they change. I told him that is wrong , clutch thrust bearing and crank thrusts under load, the reason he would have been told this would be faulty clutch brake. Didn't know what clutch brake was, no training on air system, tractor protection valve, park brake system. Seen people who think diff lock is a lower gear. Just me getting old I guess. @@andrep8287

His skills are crazy and he has my respect 😊 Thank you for your comment, i appreciate it 😊 Have a nice day 😊
There’s an acute driver shortage here in Australia, so these guys in the Northern Territory are paid pretty well if they’re any good as they have to compete with mining companies throwing money around to get good people. Typically drivers here get paid by the number of kilometres they drive and given this combo and the fact that it’s fuel, he’ll be on a decent amount. It’s not unusual to find drivers earning $3k+ per week most weeks.

I had enough trouble reversing a single semi trailer, I can't imagine the skill and years of training it takes to do this.
Haha. Me too. Thank you for the comment, i appreciate it - have a nice day 😊
The reality for most drivers here in Australia is a days training and you've now got an MC licence (Road Trains) in your pocket. No separate examiners as the training schools also conduct the assessment. You can even bypass a single trailer licence (HC) if you want and go direct from a heavy rigid (HR) licence straight to multi combination (MC) licence. Its extremely quick and easy to get a truck licence in Australia and unlike other countries where employers then refuse to give you any work because you don't have experience, that generally doesn't happen in Australia. Most truck drivers can get employment from the moment they get their licence.

Great job. I am from India.Long ago I was working in the Middle East in an Oil exploration company. We had a mixed crew. But the labour staff were either locals or from Asia(who spoke mostly Arabic or Urdu). Once my American colleague was reversing a big Trailer. A Pakistani was standing at the back to give guidance and signal. As the trailer was reversing the Pakistani was saying Khamba, Khamba, Khamba. The driver kept reversing and there was a big sound and trailer stopped. When the driver came down to see the reason he saw a big pole slightly bent and the trailer next to it. With an interpreter the driver understood that while the Pakistani was all along saying KHAMBA, KHAMBA meaning POLE in Urdu he mistook it as COME - BACK, COME - BACK I think the Phrase 'One Man's Food is Another Man's Poison' must have been coined due to this.
