how do I back up articulated trailers
Normal trailers are easy to back up, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to reverse with an articulated trailer. Does anyone have any pointers on this?

I have that turned off, I never get asked at all. I just pull up and it offers me to skip. It's been a while since I had it ask me which I want to do, so I dunno if skip shows up there.

I'm a bit late but as to the last bit, I think that there are two different points where you can choose your parking mode that are getting somewhat conflated:

1) when you get to the end of your GPS route and hit the green mark with "always ask" on, you get the "choose your fate" screen re: parking, which has the hardest option disabled by default for articulated trailers because backing them up is a royal pain. This does not happen if you're doing the roadside delivery missions, apparently (I haven't come across one yet)

2) After you've chosen a parking option that isn't "lol it's your problem now I'm droppin' it here", if you're close to the parking location (regardless of orientation of the trailer or cab), you'll get a prompt to press enter to skip parking. For the case of the roadside delivery, where backing in seems to be the only option, the way around it is to circle around and get close (in the complete wrong orientation for the parking diagram) to get the prompt to just skip parking.

Re-reading the thread I see I had misunderstood the original problem somewhat. My apologies to OP and the Colonel.

Further to the above post - If you're having trouble getting the load parked for whatever reason, you can always just go back to the activator and hit return. The activator should still work no matter which prefab and regardless of settings (even if you can't even see it). From there you can choose to just skip the parking.
--

If there is a specific prefab where the activator doesn't work as expected then personally I would consider that a bug - verify, document and report it.
--

Beyond all that - Treat it as a learning experience, check your pick-up and destination points more carefully next time - you've learned not to take articulated loads to that particular prefab.

Also remember that the game always performs an auto-save right at the point just prior to accepting a job at the pick-up activator...

I've gotten pretty good at backing up a single (front) jeep lowboy however, I'm not going to set any records for doing it quickly. I first pulled in to a Volvo dealership and practiced in their parking area to get the gist of it.

I've since had to turn one around at one of the tighter logging locations. It took quite a while but was pretty satisfying. I can't back up a triple lowboy any further than it takes the rear jeep to jack knife. Twice now that has been enough to get the mirror on the quarry truck heavy haul around a lamp post. Persistance pays off.

I have never been asked to park an articulated load off where I couldn't manage it but have had times where I couldn't get the rear jeep into the parking zone and have bailed out to "okay, you park it" mode. I learned from those events how to swing the whole articulated triple lowboy into an unloading zone. Patience and practice.

I should disclose that if i use the outside chase view to backup an articulated trailer. Without it i would be lost.

I'm having the same stupid issue. I'm delivering a couple of articulated trailers to Grand Canyon Village, to a construction site that's a section of a road there. The game wants me to back in these trailers, IN A STRAIGHT LINE, into the highlighted area, but I can't do it without the trailers jack-knifing. And because I'm not delivering it to a depot or anything like every other company in the game, I'm not given options on how I want to park it or if I want to even bother with it. So either I spend 2 hours trying to park it, or I say that's enough and blow $30k because I have to abandon the job RIGHT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE DROPPED OFF.

I had a similar problem once, delivering a double dolly trailer of gravel to a roadworks outside Page. Was a WoT job, not Freight Market. Only a single drop off point with no easy or skip option. After many attempts to back up the double, I had to cancel the job and take a penalty. Problem is there is not easy way to tell that the job is not a normal yard drop off until you get there! Has only happened the once to me though.

That means you're doing it right.

Hello all,

I have a similar issue with a double dolly trailer for a milling machine delivery.
Here are two screenshots of the situation, with a sign where I must park the trailer.
Could you please just tell me if it's possible and how, help me of any possible way, or if I'm just facing a deadend... because I've already spent some time on this one and did not manage to get close to the area.

Thank you for your answers.

You're never going to get that load cleanly into your parking bay, give it up. Go back to the activator point and re-select the normal parking option.

The next time you want to deliver a double articulated load, don't choose the harder parking difficulty option :).

The game will not, by default, give you a reverse parking option for articulated trailers. You need to have modified the configuration file in order to activate that option. Having done that, it's on you not to select the reverse-in parking option for combinations you aren't able to deal with.

I'm sure with enough practice a person could learn to reliably reverse it, but, is it really worth it... question of priorities.

Hey,
Thank you Fury6 for your quick reply. That was exactly what I was thinking but was not sure. I tried around thirty minutes in the situation shown in the two screenshots and gave up.
As you said it, it is not worth it, it was just an interrogation because I like challenges and to learn new things in-game, so I wanted to know if there was some tutorial somewhere about this specific type of triple-articulated trailer.
Thanks again.
Have fun and drive safe.
Bye

The deliveries to a roadworks only have one parking location, and need some reversing to get in the box. It was one of this drop-off locations and a double gravel trailer that caught me out. It was a WoT job so may have been an error by the person who posted the job to make that load a double?? As said above it has only happened to me the once, but in that case there was no option for normal parking or "I'm in a hurry" option.
As for reversing dolly trailers, it is about concentrating on steering the DOLLY to go where you want it, rather than concentrating on where the trailer is going - and practice!

The worst part is not being able to decouple the extra bits. I got out of wack at the Carson City Quarry. I'd be like a foot off of the "parking zone" which is a little ridiculous because the crane could take the load off from there easily.

I ended up disconnecting, then using the cab and ramming the back end at speed to line it up, then recoupled to complete the trip.

I am 100% sure this is how they do it in real-life trucking too.

You only get one shot. Pull in and park it or else abandon job if you dont have automatic parking dialogue like truckersmp is missing.
