This tital tell you semi trailer reversing skills

The ability to reverse is very important, especially on a semi trailer. Here are some basic tips for turning a semi trailer:

  1. First of all, going straight is a basic skill for reversing a semi When reversing, the front of the semi trailer can cover the suspension structure of the trailer because the suspension structure is inside the front suspension structure. The body closest to the trailer is the front end. Therefore, we can judge the direction of the trailer by observing the vibration pattern at the front end of the reflector. As long as you calm down and slowly look for the pattern in the reflector, you can master the skill of reversing wheel by wheel.

2. Only through repeated practice can you develop a sense of driving straight and predict the rules of reversing in advance. If you can’t even practice driving in a straight line, it is impossible to master the reversing of a tractor trailer. So, we practice more, use the reflector to observe the movements of the body hanging in front, focus on the eyes, eyes and hands are united, eyes in front, hands behind. It should be like this.

3. Driving a trailer in reverse is like love. You must first understand the trailer, get used to it, drive it, and finally achieve the desired trailer power. When practicing, start with a straight line and then try a curve. If you can’t go straight, don’t try to turn. Practicing parallel driving is a process of learning to turn. Small curves are small parallel exercises, and large curves are large parallel exercises. Only by using reflectors can you control the degree of curvature of your trailer, no matter how much it tilts, and you can be considered a qualified semitrailer driver. The practice of using reflectors to control the momentum of the trailer is different from other exercises. Regardless of your tractor skills, straight driving is closely related.

4. Lateral alignment is also important. Parking in the warehouse is done by driving sideways and continuing to drive. The ability to navigate sideways cannot be described with exact numbers, but is a summary of personal experience. Generally speaking, as long as you turn the steering wheel backward as little as possible and turn it in the direction of the steering wheel as accurately as possible, you can be considered a qualified semitrailer driver. When the semi trailer is reversing, the appropriate triangular downforce should be maintained, and the trailer should be pushed to the target position by correcting the steering wheel action to complete the reversing task. Of course, safety is the premise of reversing, because there is always a blind spot when the semi trailer is reversing, and what we see with our eyes does not mean that we cannot see that side.
