?Tips and tricks to backing a spread axle?

Always track the rear axle, that's all that matters. If it has a clear line inot the spot, then your fine. Just go slow and don't be afraid or ashamed to pull up and adjust. I get out sometimes just to check and make sure, even tho I'm 99% sure I can make it fine..... it's that 1% that will ruin a career.

 

Oh.... You said "tips" thought it was something else..

 

Miller Brewing, Irwndale CA with a 46' spread. I don't know what would tick me off more; Five guys watching & nobody would get out and spot, or you finally get it in the hole and the guy next to you gets called to a door & pulls out. And I used to love it that they wanted the incoming trucks to back into the row with the tightest spaces and the least room in front. I will say I never envy the guys with a 53' & all that backswing.

 

Try backing a 53' can at a Chicago rail yard...... that's how I got good

 

Well gee, now that you mention it maybe it was something else x2............................oh I guess I can let off that key now

No kidding there, congrats brother! I was going to say have a good evening but well.....nuff said......

 

Rail yards are easy most of the time tandoms are in the back.

 

I don't care if they are in the back or all the way forward, putting a 102" trailer in 105" of space is always fun

especially while the crazy yard dogs zip by you and the foreign drivers don't pay attention that u are backing up LOL

 

Dump the rear and you're backing a 38' trailer.

1 shot to get it in the hole and a pull up to get it perfectly centered between the lines.

Done.
