Reversing is one of the most difficult techniques to learn for new semi truck owners. Semi-trailer and tow head are usually driven in opposite directions when reversing, and the trailer is generally very long, making it difficult to estimate the distance and Angle. We interviewed a few driving experience longer old master, summed up some semi truck reversing skills, to the need of card friends reference.
Semi trucks back up in the opposite direction, and it takes some getting used to for new drivers. When reversing, we should master the position and direction of the vehicle, and check the good reversing mirror. If the trailer is long, or the scene is complex terrain, limited vision, it is best to have a person under the car in charge of command, so that the operation will be a little easier.
● Master the basic method to understand reversing skills
Before reversing, adjust the front of the car and the body, try to keep the front of the car and trailer straight, or the front of the car is tilted to the side of the target parking space, and then follow the basic operation method: clockwise steering wheel when turning left, counterclockwise steering wheel when turning right. Be careful not to shoot the direction, the semi is also reversing while correcting. If you can’t turn around, it’s best to get out of the car and back up again.
The parking space is on the right. When backing up, you should turn the steering wheel to the left and see the space between the right rear wheel and the opening in the road. When the right rear wheel of the trailer enters the parking space, at this time, it is necessary to speed up the direction, make the body straightened as soon as possible, and pay attention to the left wheel of the trailer. Wait until the back of the car is about to straighten the wheel back quickly, so that the car and the front of the car can turn straight, if it is still not straight, adjust it.
● Focus on being calm
Knowing the basic method, the rest is to practice, but usually must pay attention to the following points:
1. Regardless of whether the tube goes forward or backs up, be sure to see clearly around the situation. Limited vision can let people help command, but try to let the command staff in the field of view, keep the distance between people and cars, and do not follow the footsteps of comrade Lei Feng.
2, to maintain a good state of mind, no matter what the situation is calm and calm. If you can’t get one to you, it doesn’t matter if you have more than one. Don’t worry if someone urges you to honk. The other driver will understand.
3, when reversing must observe carefully, slow down, even if the old driver technology again skilled do not take it lightly. Because reversing accidents happen a lot every year, don’t let carelessness harm yourself and others.
