my dad drives a truck and he showed me how to park

I always hanging out the window and remember left for right and right for left

What the taught me in trucking school:  Top of the steering wheel = front of trailer, bottom = back.  Move accordingly. 😊

I found it easier to do by ‘hanging out the window’ and looking back at the trailer, it partly eliminates the left is right and right is left complication :) But in the end, the most important thing is to keep practicing and you’ll get good at it sooner than you’d think :)

The main thing is to enjoy it too; I've backed 2 real trailers now (experience days) and it taught me that reversing accurately can be both fun and satisfying. As you say don't be hard on yourself; that just takes away the enjoyment. truck slow; steering fast as the instructors both told me. 1 on 2 off; that means to straighten the trailer up for every turn you put on the wheels you need to take 2 the other way. Good tips and also; we have it a little harder than real life as our mirrors (for most people anyway) are much smaller than the real thing; believe me; they are huge on a real lorry and you can see so much better in them.

Slow and steady is the way to go, you do it once you master the art

1st person cam is pretty immersive while aided by leaning out cam. The challenge is when you gotta park from the blind side when you gotta rely on the mirrors. But then again, practice makes perfect, just quicksave before approaching the destination company's parking lot.

Straightening the 5th wheel coupling joint before you start reversing is the most important thing.  I call it the artic driver's wiggle.  Also, if you can see too much trailer in the left mirror, turn the wheel to the left.  If you can see too much trailer in the right mirror, turn the wheel to the right, is advice i got when i was learning in real life.

To be fair, it is a little bit harder to do mini corrections on a keyboard, but using this video I learned just fine while using a keyboard, I have yet to get a steering wheel, but this video really helped!

Of course, a proper approach and setup for the chosen parking spot is important. The mistake is thinking just steering inputs at the front of the rig will do the job when you should really be watching the trailer tandems for steering inputs to guide the trailer into position, just remember your steering inputs will be reversed.

the camera and the tiny movements were quite helpful

Best trick I've learned in backing trailers is to put your hand at the bottom of the wheel.
Then you simply turn the wheel from there in the direction you want the back of the trailer to go.

I learned parking by spending time on practicing on ETS2 and ATS ;)

By the way nice video!

Cool video for people to lean how to back up me I like it tighter the better after spending 38 years behind the wheel of a truck thanks

Thx for the tutorial 👍
I'm allways struggeling with double trailercombo's, like the Krone double.

This tutorial will be so useful not Just In ETS2, but in all truck games..  I usually set off as slow as i can  and  more likely to be backing up slowly. Then I hangout the drivers head on the window side and Then while backing up im using both mirrors

Thank you for this video! I can park really well myself, but it will help a ton for my friends who are still learning.

Tried with my ford focus, I can now park everywhere 👍

just imagine you're pushing a supermarket trolley. you're the cabin, with your hand act as the back axle, and the trolley itself as a trailer.

Me with oversize trailer
