Learn to Back a Semi Truck and Trailer with Confidence
Designed for new or struggling drivers who want clear backing fundamentals without confusion or pressure. You can quit overthinking backing a semi trailer and learn exactly what to do.
Clear steps. Real examples. No guessing.
Important: I use American Truck Simulator as a visual training tool so you can clearly see setups, trailer movement, and corrections. Then I show the same concepts in real-life backing videos.
How it works (simple)
1) Learn the setup
Where to position, when to turn, how to build the right angle.
2) Control the trailer
Understand what you’re seeing in the mirrors and what to do next… without panicking.
3) Fix it before it’s bad
Corrections for common “oh no” moments so you can recover safely and finish the back.
Every video includes a transcript in case my accent is hard to understand.
Who this is for (and who it’s not)
This is for you if…
- You’re a new CDL driver and backing still isn’t “clicking”
- You know the theory but the trailer does something different in real life
- You want a clear method you can repeat at truck stops and receivers
- You want calm, step-by-step explanations (with videos)
This is NOT for you if…
- ✘ You expect instant perfection without practice
- ✘ You’re looking for shortcuts instead of learning proper fundamentals
- ✘ You’re not open to correcting bad habits
- ✘ You want doubles/triples training (this is for singles)
Why listen to me?
“I’ve been driving for years and have backed into some of the tightest places you don’t even want to imagine. From that, I’ve gained skills that I want to share with others. Every time I’ve seen someone backing up and they’re struggling, I know exactly what they did wrong and what they should do instead. It all starts with the set up and you will learn the best setups for different types of situations.”
What you’ll be able to handle
Gain the confidence to perform real life scenarios:
- 90s, 45s, offsets, parallels, straight backs
- Tight headroom + different tandem positions
- Blindside situations (when you have no choice)
- Fixing common mistakes safely
Try it risk-free
Quick FAQ
Is this for beginners?
Yes. It’s built to make backing click for new drivers, but experienced drivers can use it to tighten up their setups and reduce stress.
How does American Truck Simulator help in real life?
I use ATS to show the setups and explain the setups I use when backing. The same concepts apply in real life. You will be able to watch the video of me showing the setup on ATS, then watch one of my IRL backing videos and see the exact setup I used in ATS translate to the real world.
Is it really a one-time payment?
Yes. One payment, lifetime access. No subscriptions or monthly fees. No upsells either.
