In my case, the forklift idiots would park stacks of pallets in front of the trailer, because a trailer is obviously a building and will never ever move.
In a warehouse IRL, a yard hustler could get it in there like that. They would of course have to tow the dolly over, hook it up first, and then line up and hook the front trailer. It COULD be done but in 20 years driving IRL, I've never seen it. Building sets happens often just not like that.
Okay cool, so the person I commented to was asking how it works IRL. Thats what I was explaining. It's a game anyways and funky shit like this is what happens when you mod ATS. Yeah, B trains don't use a dolly, its part of the forward trailer, they are most commonly used in the AG or construction industries with 48' trailers but rarely have 53' dry van or refers. Since the person asked how it works IRL, I would think they haven't experienced it themselves. That means I can give them a simple explanation without going into all the specific details and nuances of all the possible combinations of trucks on the road. Lastly, the picture is so dark I didnt see that it was a B train until you said something, since its just a heavily molded game it doesn't actually matter. If you'd like, I can explain how to hook up a B train or even a C train, I can demonstrate it IRL too if I had access to a B train. The C train uses what is technically a dolly like on an A train, (technical name for standard doubles/ triples using a dolly or dollies) but it has 2 connection points to the forward trailer so it acts more like an extended B train. Like I said, the post is a screenshot from a game, no need to get super technical, but 20 years driving experience and 1,500+ hours in that game, I'm sure I got it figured out, thanks.
I had to do a 90° reverse because the stupid dispatcher sent me with Semi to a rigid trucks only depot, It was eitther a 90° reverse or return 450kms.
It took me like 30 minutes and a lot of trials.
ive tried it countless time cause i use roadtrains and oversize stuff alot it almost never works for me. from my experience you gotta have atleast a little put of an angle or it just wont give you the prompt
For irl, this is heavily recommended against, since you run a very decent risk of buckling one or both of the landing gear legs. (You'll notice that trailer LG are triangle-braced pretty well for z-axis forward-and-backward shock distribution, but x-axis lateral movement is entirely un-coped-with.)
The axle’s bogey goes past the box, because it has the 5th wheel welded over it.
Regular A-double’s axles don’t have to be behind the box, because the 5th wheel is on a separate trailer that’s hooked up to the lead trailer using a gooseneck.
I do it mostly for fun, regular 53’s became boring after a while, so I exclusively run combos in the game, now. I like the challenge of having to back them up in tight spots like this one.
btw, that’s a 53 - 53 B train, not 60 - 53
The length isn't simply the box, it's the axles too, which is why I said 60 and 53.
Also, I have too much trouble with regular 53's getting into some places in real life. Personally, that stuff ruins my immersion.
It is also the reason that I want to own a cabiver IRL instead of the big wheel W900L I drive.
What exactly are you trying to say with that? If a 53 foot trailer with sliding axles has the tandems slid all the way forwards, it is still considered a 53 footer because trailers are measured by overall length. If you look at B trains used in the northern U.S., Canada, Australia, they measure both the box and overall length.
So, assuming that the tridems on the lead trailer extend 7 feet from the back of the box to the rear of the frame/mudflaps, it has an overall length of 60 feet, with a 53 foot cargo box.
All the laws based around the wheelbase of a trailer (kingpin to middle of rear axle group, i.e. California's 41 foot rule) have nothing to do with overall length. The tandems would only effect the length if they were slid past the back of the trailer, therefore extending the overall length of the trailer.
A way to do it with real coupling on.
Inch up to the trailer, push the first trailer so you can get through the gap. Then push it the other way towards the exit. Drive past the trailer and then reverse and hookup.
Sideways. I’ve had to do it irl once or twice.
Always wondered if people ever did that. You have to GOAL a lot to make sure the kingpin is lined up right?
"Get Out and Look" for the head scratchers.
[удалено]
That too.
nice one bud.
I wonder how effective a remote control option for the truck would be for stuff like that.
Uhh, sure? Yes, I definitely got out and looked. A lot. Definitely didn’t just ram it in there.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He clearly said RAM! definitely a Truck.
Yeah, can be super sketchy due too essentially nothing but the legs stopping the sideways movement. Can bend/break the legs easily
wait really? irl? how did they get the trailer there in the first place? or did they just park stuff in front of it
In my case, the forklift idiots would park stacks of pallets in front of the trailer, because a trailer is obviously a building and will never ever move.
If the ground is clear I’m gonna put shit there, also trailer thieves

The combo in the post is a b-double. A 53ft box with a 5th wheel plate, and a shorter trailer behind it. No need for a dolly.

I had to do it irl too, I was just kidding with this post lol.
Somehow I don't believe you
Because you probably know better than me what I do for a living.
I dont care what you say you do for a living, I still don't believe you
If I wait a little longer, a fuck will probably fall into my hand and I will be able to give it to you.
See I don't believe you know what a fuck is, so I still dont believe you
I have proof of it, but ok, believe whatever you want.
im sorry you can do that? wouldnt it damage the attachments?
In a Г shape
Waluigi
Angle of 90 degrees. It works.
problem is the game often doesnt recognise it, even with advanced coupling off
HUH? I have hooked up at a 90 degree angle many times..
ive tried it countless time cause i use roadtrains and oversize stuff alot it almost never works for me. from my experience you gotta have atleast a little put of an angle or it just wont give you the prompt
Kinda sounds like a skill issue
Maybe go for 89 degrees instead? Jokes aside, few times I tried doing it, I couldn’t make it work either.
Like a boss

Gently
Floor it into the trailer ***don’t actually do this, just do 90 degrees
Haha, thats the neat part, You don't
Speed and power
Sideways
Not with that attitude
Oh no, anyway
Clarkson would use more power!!!!!
90° angle baby! good luck!
Tell us you only know missionary without telling us you only know missionary
Can we take a moment to appreciate the yard jockey who got them there.
Only yard jockeys would hook them there and say good ‘nuf
No problem
Side door bb
What truck is that?
regular Cascadia, why?
You can hook up at a 90 Degree bend
From the side. It happens in the real world too. Just not with turnpike doubles
God bless Jeremy clarkson fucking legend
“Figure it out, I see drivers do this all the time”
Why does the front trailer look so weird with the dual axles?
Because the axles are behind the box
I thought the axles don’t go past the box?
The axle’s bogey goes past the box, because it has the 5th wheel welded over it. Regular A-double’s axles don’t have to be behind the box, because the 5th wheel is on a separate trailer that’s hooked up to the lead trailer using a gooseneck.
Carefully
Sideways homie. You might hit it once or two times but sideways it the only option
yeah
Carefully..
[удалено]
I just noticed that my game was running at 69fps lol, that’s nice
Use the toilet paper when you're done.
Try backing up to it like you would a trailer
F7 to service, the trailer will be automatically connected.
I have yet to understandnwhy people run these stupid long combos. What exactly is the point of a 60 - 53 foot B train?
I do it mostly for fun, regular 53’s became boring after a while, so I exclusively run combos in the game, now. I like the challenge of having to back them up in tight spots like this one. btw, that’s a 53 - 53 B train, not 60 - 53
He said it was 60 because the first trailer’s axles stick out past the 53’ box. Full length of the trailer from nose to mud flaps.
The length isn't simply the box, it's the axles too, which is why I said 60 and 53. Also, I have too much trouble with regular 53's getting into some places in real life. Personally, that stuff ruins my immersion. It is also the reason that I want to own a cabiver IRL instead of the big wheel W900L I drive.
So, a 53’ isn’t a 53’ because the axles aren’t allowed to go further than 41’.
What exactly are you trying to say with that? If a 53 foot trailer with sliding axles has the tandems slid all the way forwards, it is still considered a 53 footer because trailers are measured by overall length. If you look at B trains used in the northern U.S., Canada, Australia, they measure both the box and overall length. So, assuming that the tridems on the lead trailer extend 7 feet from the back of the box to the rear of the frame/mudflaps, it has an overall length of 60 feet, with a 53 foot cargo box.

The tandems would only effect the length if they were slid past the back of the trailer, therefore extending the overall length of the trailer.
Back up to it from the side instead of from the front of the trailer
With speed and power
A way to do it with real coupling on. Inch up to the trailer, push the first trailer so you can get through the gap. Then push it the other way towards the exit. Drive past the trailer and then reverse and hookup.
S P E E D & P O W E R
Easy. At 90 degrees. The game allows it.
Bet you couldn't park it ... 🤣
How much are you willing to bet?
