Description

Park a truck and trailer like a pro, with realistic levels crafted by an actual 20-year-experienced trucker. Get behind the wheel and show off your skills today!!

► MADE BY VETERAN TRUCK DRIVER & TRAINER
There are lots of Trucking apps out there but this is the first one that will actually teach you what it takes to back up in the real world. The more you play the quicker you are going to be able to figure what you will need to do in a real Truck. I have nearly two decades of driving a truck and have backed up over 60K times and have thought over 150 students as a company trainer. I know what struggles new drivers go through having to learn how to back up with a real truck and trailer and how scary it is. This truck driving simulator takes the guesswork out and gives you the confidence to back up into any dock.

► CDL Training
I have set up CDL training levels for lots of different size trailers and all the scenarios that you will be tested on. The trailer sizes are 28, 35, 48, and 53 feet long and each level is custom-built for the trailer size.

► Hard Campaign Level
When you start to get more comfortable with the normal campaign you can try your skills on the same levels but with Blind Spots turned on. When you are driving on these levels you are only going to be able to see what you would if you are sitting in the cab. But there is a "Get Out And Look" button that you can use that will turn off the Blind Spots so when you are unsure if you are going to hit something.

► Steering Wheel Turning
You guys requested it so we now to a steering wheel feature for you to be able to turn the truck. I hope you like it!!
► Slider Turning
To turn left or right in this man truck game all you have to do is slide your finger to the left or the right on the bottom 25% of the screen. You don't even have to start from the center, just slide your finger in the direction you want it to turn. Sliding your finger from one side of the screen to the other will let you turn your steers from one side to the other, but be careful if you have the steers pointing all the way to the right and you want to have them all the way to the left, sliding from the center of the screen will only point the steers straight so you will have to slide your finger more. The slider is just an indicator if you want to see where your steering is. A lot of the time I will look at the steering slider to see that I am pointing my steer perfectly straight before I start to back up and then just pay attention to my trailer and the green lines.

► Speed
The rest of the screen in my truck practice simulator is for controlling the speed. Anywhere on the top 75% of the screen can you slide your finger up or down to move forward or reverse. If you want to stop all you have to do I double-tap anywhere on the screen and you will screech to a stop.

You can zoom in and out by using two fingers and pinching, and you can pan around the map too by moving your two fingers around the screen.

You will find that there are RED, Green, and blue lines that are on the truck and trailer. There is a REALLY big reason for this. Without these lines, I think that the trucking game would be unnecessarily hard. The red line shows you the direction that the back of the trailer is pointing towards. And if you have ever seen my videos before I started using this heavy truck simulator game to demonstrate backing, I always had RED lines showing where the trailer was pointing. I have found that it is very hard to see that without the red line in a game that is a top-down view (aerial view). The green lines are to show you how straight your truck and trailer are. Just like in the real world all you have to do is look in your mirrors to see if you are straight. The blue line is not as important but I added them anyway because a top-down view does not always give you a good indication of where you are driving towards when your steers are pointing straight. I do love my lines.

Concept is there

Great concept. Great missions and great idea but the controls are terrible. Hard to control the acceleration and reverse. One second I’m going slow and the next I’m going Dukes of Hazard. Then good luck trying to get the truck to stop cause it has to be right on the spot. Turning they forgot that the new iPhone has a home button down near the slide and so I’m pushing my app screen all over the place just trying to turn. (If you play it in up and down mode or even side ways mode) Would much rather see a side ways view of the game (which you can still do) but with a steering wheel to turn on the left of the screen and a gas and brake pedal for the acceleration and stopping/reversing on the right side of the screen.

But I will still give a five star due to being a rand new game and due to the hard work this YouTuber has put into the game and would love to see the small fixes be made to make it an even better game.

Developer Response ,

There will be lots updates in the future that will please everyone I hope. BTW, you do not need to drag the steering slider to turn, you can use any part of the bottom 25% of the screen to turn and any part of the top 75% of the screen to control the speed. To stop, all you have to do is double tap the screen and it comes to a stop. The reason that the game is up and down view is that the truck needs to be always point up/forward, that's the way it is in real life, you do have the ability to zoom and pan around to get a better look. Thank you very much for the 5 stars!!!

Great app, would love to see some small (but big!) changes

This app is a fantastic learning tool and really helps with visualizing backing angles. It’s also pretty fun as just a game too! If I could request any feature it would be rear tandem adjustments. Both sliding tandems or split axles for flatbed learning would go a long way to increasing the usefulness of the app. Also maybe an option to allow the wheel to have two complete turns in both directions for more precision and better practice understanding how much different real world steering wheel positions affect tire direction and the overall backing motion. Regardless, I’m having a blast tackling the challenges in the app and it’s really helping me to internalize backing fundamentals.

Not perfect but will help you tremendously understand how to move you’re trailer.

You won’t be in 90% of these situations but they are good to learn from. The physics are not perfect like I notice when backing the trailer will start turning into a trailer once you’re in the hole and following the trailer to get back underneath. Idk how to explain it but that’s not what would happen in real life. Also some levels you will hit the other trucks no matter what because of the hit boxes being bigger than the truck. It said I hit a truck but I want, I’m assuming the actual outline of the trailer hit box was just not perfect. Either way I’m addicted to backing in this game and it really helps me understand how to move the trailer in situations. I’ve actually been back very easily since I’ve started placing because the real world physics are better than this games lol so if you can do it in here it’s be way easier in real life.
