Good to see you back, love u
First three clips were old. I couldn't watch any longer.
You can do better.

Even with the mint, I love the truckersonly 😊❤
Love you too.
@@mikesmith-po8nd
You see them on the other sites, same stuff just a different name, I watch 3 of these and some have the same cars crash or trucks, they send them to everyone
#5 - You think maybe your company needs to think about sending a smaller truck to that location?
Or send some crew out to help with traffic when he needs to pull in?
the drivers are the problem theyre too damn stupid and impatient on waiting for him to backup
It's just the reality of getting the job done. It's not always pretty.
@@OnYourLeftThat's what I was thinking.
Or the Driver could follow traffic laws instead of driving on the wrong side of the road because he is in a semi
Yeah. That business in #5 needs to redo their delivery structure. No way a semi should be doing that on a busy street
I drive around trucks that do this they don't own the road nor should traffic come to a complete stop because a business doesn't have enough room for semis
True, especially if he's a tanker making a delivery. I've worked for a gas company that had locations on thoroughfares that were so busy during the day that deliveries had to be made after 11p.
Why not come at it from the other side of the road & back into the driveway like a normal person?
People stop & reverse into spots when they parallel park all the dang time
@@ReaperKezia ever tried to fit a 40 foot long truck across a 12 foo wide lane? he'd have to swing out like that whichever direction he approached from, and at least facing traffic, he can see what's coming.
Unfortunately, lots of places are still like this. I see it around here all the time. There's even one big bread distributer that regularly has 2-3 trailer long trucks going through. Usually there's space in the back, but it's so busy, sometimes they have someone come out in a yellow vest to halt traffic while they spend the next 10 minutes or so meticulously backing into the garage.
5 is dumb, i understand him needing to do that but to get mad at others for not magically knowing wtf you are doing lol.
When you see a big truck making an unusual move then STOP.
@@williamjones4483 na you know how many idiots drive those?
meanwhile the alternative thought process is: "Oh a truck with four ways on and backing up? I better pass this guy doing weird things." I agree its dumb, but that's just the daily situation for #5. Least he's be ultra safe.
@@williamjones4483 NO how about you drive fucking safely and call the police non-emergency for traffic control assistance. If a truck hits me driving the wrong way down the road all that's going to happen is my student loan debt disappears. Try thinking next time before you comment.
@@InternetKilledTV21shut up renter.
5 is crazy stupid. They need to fix that.
why would anyone know what the f he was trying to do? So what if you're flashers were on, any car could have ran straight into you and it's your fault for going up the wrong way. Go the correct way traffic and back in.....
Stupid is the driver to do that like this. If he needs to back into that lot, he has to come from the other side. Then enabling the hazards and blocking only one side of the road.
It’s a tractor trailer and you want him to blind side into that???!!! He won’t be able to see the impatient four wheelers trying to get around him! He’s doing it correctly and I know because I’m a million miler truck driver that had to experience doing terrible deliveries like him.
@@SquirrelDarling1 Exactly.
@@SquirrelDarling1 They can have someone put on a high vis vest and stop traffic or at least spot for the trucker instead of having him cut across 7 lanes and then weave through oncoming traffic.
5 - not sure what BS is going on there but the truck has zero room to be upset with other drivers. Is that even legal? 😂
No, it isn't. If you have to drive on the wrong side of the road to back up, you are doing it wrong.
@@Caladianno cars would ever stop for him though if he didn't which means he'd be waiting there foe the rest of his life if he didn't do that
Yeah. If that's the only way to back in to that business, the trucking company and recipient need to work out a different solution.
@@billymays9296 and it's still illegal
@@billymays9296 sounds like a problem for the company to figure out an actual solution.
Trucker 2.3 was laying on his horn like it was his job!
I have yet to figure out why people lay on their horns like that. Give them a honk, but several seconds?
Sounds like he has it on a switch
That particular cammer is notorious for using his horn instead of his brakes.
This is one of the better ones, he's actually not flagrantly unsafe in it
@@bigbaddave777 Anger, ie road rage even if the anger is justified the excessive horn usage can earn him a ticket as the horn is there to warn someone not say "Oie you **** I'll **** you ****ing ****" lol.
ITS A SCHOOL BUS CUTTING IN FRONT OF A TRUCK!
2.1. Something tells me the trucker really did NOT want that exit!
2.2. Good on you for letting him know. Kudos!
2.3. Bus driver needs to be reported with video proof!
3. Back in the car, dude, if there’s damage you asked for it! Dumba$$!
2:19 then after next clip it seems that the driver swerved to the right just to intimidate the car.
Maybe they shouldn't have accelerated to block the pickup driver and closed the gap to the car in front. You can hear the driver put their foot down and the gap closes. They brought that on themselves
#3 that idiot in the car didn't save any time by moving into the middle lane. Him and the trucker were about even with the food truck throughout the clip.
2.3. Just shocking. And school officials let these drivers drive our children to school on their busses 😡🤬😡
You are off base. You have no idea of the situation and you blame school officials??? The only person you can blame from the video is the bus driver . You are jumping to conclusions
@@gregoryferber3231No he’s not. There’s a lot of videos going around of bus drivers cutting people off. I’ve had 3 encounters where I live. It is the school officials fault too for letting these dumbass bus drivers get hired.
@@gregoryferber3231 It's school officials who hire their drivers to drive their busses. They take full responsibility along with the driver if anything goes wrong...
@@user-rk4sk3mo8y you are asking you school officials to be clairvoyant. We have no idea if this is the driver 1st or 500th offense. If a school hires a licensed bus driver how do they know that person will make a mistake? They don't. All we see in this one video is one bus driver making one mistake. We don't know if the school seen this video, if a report was made, we don't know any more then what is in tye video. With no other evidence it is extremely disingenuous to blame others.
School bus drivers are barely above minimum wage. They have little or no training and feel that they are entitled. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of terrible bus drivers.
If the only way the driver in #5 can get in to that location is by going to the wrong side of the road (presumably to avoid people queuing, directly behind him, so he has safe room to reverse) then reversing through live lanes, either the company he works for or the people at that site should be providing him with a banksman to direct traffic during the manoeuvre!
They may be breaking the law by not doing so & putting people at risk?
It would be nice, but it doesn't really seem to be causing much of a problem when he does it. The 4-wheelers figure it out pretty quickly.
Oh absolutely breaking traffic laws doing this.
1.3 is a scary situation, that tire could have bounced the wrong way and come flying in through the windshield. Maximum pucker!
Or another, smaller vehicle could hit it and get launched 20 feet into the air (there’s video of this happening in Los Angeles). That’s a pretty sketchy situation to be in. Good on the trucker for holding everyone back until the tire was off the highway.
@@luke_cohen1 or hell like that one Kia that ran over the pickup truck tire and launched into the air like a rocket
I understand when someone makes an honest mistake because they are momentarily distracted or miss something, but some of these people are deliberately doing hazardous maneuvers.
1:32 Your box, your box is up, you know it. ?
TA BOÊTE
@@Solumnys 🤣
5 Dude you seriously need to learn what side of the road you're supposed to drive on . IDGAF where you're trying to park every single incident was YOUR fault ALL OF THEM
Do you drive tractor trailer for a living ? He has to do it that way to back into where he needs to.
@@Oldgrumpyvet67can’t he do it from the right side of the road as well, though? Doesn’t seem 100% necessary to go into oncoming traffic. They could pull into that center lane, then back up into the driveway.
@@alexandriav3956 The entire point is to be backing where another vehicle would naturally not be able to sneak up into the blind spots. The only place a car can approach the 'danger zone" is from the parking lot itself, because all the traffic is ahead of the driver in plain sight. Is it legal? Probably not. Is it safer than backing from the proper travel lane? As long as there's not that one guy who can't think critically and stop.
Come on, you KNOW drivers by now, if he stopped in the center or right lane to back in you KNOW someone's going to stop unseen right up on his mansfield bar and chew on it when he starts reversing.
@@mfree80286 it is entirely legal and is trained for truckers to do.
But no, too many impatient goons can't wait 10 damn seconds for someone to back in.
Another moron 4 wheeler who has no clue as to how it really works. These kinds of docks are all over the country and these kinds of maneuvers are done daily. Be thankful you have truckers who do this so you can buy the stuff you need.
4:25
What in the 7 hells are you trying to do.
Makes no sense to any other drivers out there, or us.
If you have to REGULARLY drive on the wrong side of the road, you shouldnt be there.
Bad place to allow deliveries, I suppose 😅. That place needs a back lot for being in such a heavy traffic area
The driver was attempting to make a delivery. Some places like this there is no choice but to back in because there is no space to turn around.
The business should probably have a spotter wearing something hi-vis and a flag so traffic has some clue what's happening.
@@williamjones4483 if you have to drive on the wrong side of the road, then back up on the wrong side of the road, he's doing it wrong.
This is illegal!
Obviously the parking lot/loading dock/whatever need to be modified to allow truck access. It's laughable that buildings/lots/docks/etc are allowed w/o accommodating the ongoing operation.
#5 I'm shocked (not) that this driver doesn't get how dangerous and illegal his actions are. No other road user is going to know what the hell he's doing. Do the correct thing and get a spotter out there to stop traffic.
All of those drivers figured it out pretty quickly. And can you cite an actual legal code that says this is illegal?
@@Scoots1994
Are you trying to troll, or are you genuinely that much of a dumbass? Let's not even delve into how reckless that truck driver was and there was no excuse for endangering other people, judging from your other comments you clearly don't care about that little detail, all that matters is a profit for the company, right?
Pertaining to your absolutely moronic question, specific wording surely varies from codex to codex (which in case of US will be from state to state) but I'm quite certain that wrong-way driving is defined VERY early on in just about any codex and is a very clear violation of any road law. And here we saw a very clear example of wrong-way driving, no matter what the driver's ultimate intent was.
@@Scoots1994 Illegal in most states. In my state specifically it would be RCW 46.61.100 section 5. Can you cite specific legal code that provides an exception for a semi-truck to take the reckless actions he has?
@@Scoots1994you can’t drive on the wrong side of the road.
so its legal to drive on the wrong side of the road? @@Scoots1994
#5 - A lot of that could be avoided if the deliveries happened at night when there is a lot less traffic. The truck doesn't get the right-of-way just because he has to make a delivery or pick up. The delivery company should refuse delivering there until something safer is worked out.
Those are retail establishments, not factories or warehouses. Tell me you don't know a thing about trucking without telling me. I drove big trucks for 20 years. Once I had to deliver to a HOUSE.
@@williamjones4483 Then call the police to safely control the traffic are you sped?
@@InternetKilledTV21I’m sure the police have better things to do than follow truck drivers around that are making multiple deliveries a day. Just stop and give us space, after all you are benefiting from these deliveries too.
@@williamjones4483Nobody cares what you’ve done. And he’s not obligated to know “anything” about trucking. You sound hurt
@@SquirrelDarling1 Then damn don't get mad when people don't understand why you're driving the wrong fucking way. I am patient with trucks when they're side by side 0.5mph differential. I'm patient when I back up for a truck who can't make a tight right turn. I'm patient for all of you princesses. This bafflingly stupid behavior does not require my patience.
5 - try doing something else. Driving the wrong way down the street is YOUR problem.
Who gave him his CDL
@@BrandonDenny-we1rw Came in a box of cereal.
@@Voorhees_Metal_Productions No joke I think a box of cereal would do better
@@Voorhees_Metal_Productions these people are why so many of our road signs are just pictures these days, far less words
@@MannyDer Uh no that's because people who don't speak the native language need to know what's happening too.
5 is actually a psychopath what the hell is going on with that guy
He is making deliveries to food places and restaurants so inconsiderate dummies like you can eat. He has to back a tractor trailer to get to the dock in the back of a very narrow parking lot. He also can’t blind side in because impatient four wheelers will cut him off anyway.
A little patience and understanding goes a long way, but no, it’s always about you isn’t it.
@@SquirrelDarling1Just because he’s making food deliveries doesn’t make it ok for him to break traffic laws
@@SquirrelDarling1 Damn that's kinda not my problem and your framing of it makes me care even less. Truly go pound sand and drive safe. Maybe get some exercise.
@@chunkyhorsemilk3932 nah they gotta do some specific maneuvers to get into some parking lots, some that might block several lanes of traffic at a time for a bit. im saying that the dude in the video has an insane strat that just seems entirely unsafe
It's called doing his job the safest way possible.
What in the world is going on with the entire #5 sequence?
That idiot doesn’t know what side of the road he’s supposed to drive on. He needs his CDL revoked. And he’s so stupid, he posted these videos thinking he is right 🤦♂️
he's backing into the lot on the left
@@goaliedude32 That's clear. Using the wrong side of the road to set it up continually is wild. Driving shouldn't be an obstacle course.
@@theeB8i think his route has him coming out of the shopping complex. Still very strange
@@theeB8doing like that is alot better than blind side reversing
I don't understand 5 at all. I know he's backing into somewhere, but that has to be the clunkiest and sketchiest way to do it that I've ever seen
It’s the safest way to make that delivery. I drive tractor trailers and I’m also a million safe miler, unfortunately this is at times part of our jobs. Just give us some space and patience please.
@@SquirrelDarling1I can back a truck into anything and I drive safely everywhere. I have the same cool patches for driving you do. I would've done that delivery from the middle turning lane into a pickup parked behind me. I would've pulled through the lot. I would've pulled into the lot and had someone back me out. Load transfer into a box truck that will fit in the lot. Get a pilot car. So many safer ways than randomly pulling into oncoming traffic full of people that are clueless. If that is your only option than you need to do the delivery between 11 pm and 4 am. There are laws in place for this type of thing. Pulling into oncoming traffic should be the last option.
That's because you have never driven a big truck, but I'll attempt to explain it to you. First of all, the driver MUST back in to make the delivery because the parking lot is too small. He can't manouever. The best option is to back into the lot from the road. The driver is going to the opposite side of the road where his delivery will take place. To make the backing as efficient and quick as possible the driver will drive down the side of the road and at the correct time will turn his truck towards the center of the road. This will position the rear of the trailer to make the fastest entry into the lot as possible and thus getting out of everyone's way. There is nothing sketchy or clunky about it.
@@paullauer1363 Everything you said shows how clueless you are. These are retaile establishments. They don't stay open those hours. "I would have pulled into the lot and have someone back me out". That still does not relieve you of any responsibilty for what could happen. I've never used a ground guide. That's not how it's done. load it onto a pickup truck or a box truck. Once again, not how it's done.
@@williamjones4483 The parking lot he backs into services an Italian Restaurant, tattoo shop, nail salon, candle shop, and a small grocery store. Which of those requires a 75" truck for a delivery without a loading dock? Keep in mind he would be blocking any customers from entering the lot and preventing most of the 36 parking spots from being able to leave while he delivers.
3. Is the worst attempt at insurance fraud loll
just clueless about a truck's blind spot.
I’m sure the trucker saw it pull in front of him. “It was too close for me to see if I hit it or not” well then maybe you shouldn’t have kept rolling forward…
@@bendunster8859 why would he stop for something he can't see? You think he felt that Civic getting bumped 5-7 times? When the Civic accelerate, it's the first time he sees it. Can't you hear his reaction?
#3 i was looking around for what the accident was going to be then the thing I mistook for the hood drove off lmao
Omg ok I thought I was high
#5 the truck driver might want to consider getting an amber light bar for his windshield, I Know It Won't Stop cars from being Reckless around him but surprisingly a lot of people do respect the flashing lights. when I pumped out grease traps I had to back up just like this in the middle of the day in Los Angeles, after I got the light bar a lot more people stopped and waited for me.
If the legal code where he is allows it and his company is willing to pay for it he should get his truck to light up like a christmas tree :)
@@Scoots1994 legal code shouldn't be a problem since he has to do a hazardous maneuver, I personally bought mine off Amazon for $40 I figured it just makes the job easier and it did
More like a red and blue light bar. Because that is the only thing that would make what he is doing legal.
@@MaxZomboni
err... lol?
I'm pretty certain red and blue light bars on something that is not a state-approved emergency vehicle would be a VERY polar opposite of "legal".
Standard yellow/orange beacons on the other hand are more tricky as far as legalese goes.
@@ahriman935 Driving on the wrong side of the road like that is not legal, except for emergency vehicles. The truck driver is an idiot.
5. Instead of getting mad at drivers when you’re pulling actual illegal moves, get your company to send an appropriate vehicle.
I'm *always* here for the truckers only videos! Seeing all the 🐂 💩 they put up with makes me respect them even more.👍
The truck driver from Quebec with the loud horn is the best.
#5 "Not worth my Career" but yet you knowingly, willingly and illegally drive on the wrong side of the road instead of waiting for the center lane to clear so you can back in from that.
business at number 5 needs a straight box truck not a semi to deliver their supplies.
The snowbank one made me laugh
4:10 obviously the truckers fault he had his blinker on!!! The trucker by law must yield!!!
Blinker does not give right of way.
#5 you really need to redesign your route bud. I am a local LTL pick-up/delivery and use both a 28' or 48' liftgate trailer and never need to be heading the wrong direction on a busy highway. Get it together dude.
That's because you've never been presented with a dock that requires you to do this, If you had you would know better than to spew nonsense.
@RB-ib3nf okay Magellan but just know that I've been a trick driver for over 30 years and so there isn't a dock situation I haven't encountered and have NEVER had to drive into oncoming traffic anywhere across the country. If you found THAT necessary maybe you ought to consider changing career fields--maybe become a "coder" like Biden suggested.
@@RobKimbro1966 Explain to me how this trucker is supposed to line up for this dock. If he comes from the other direction he will either have to cut across both directions of traffic or do a blind side back up. If he uses the center turn lane he will have to back his tractor into oncoming traffic. So how would you do this O great quoter of biden.
@@RB-ib3nf oh hello guys, i think we shouldn't waste time on these things, let's do this
@@MrProsperous89 Your statement makes no sense. What are you trying to say?
Trucker 5 is special 😂
My husband was nearly hit head-on by a semi this week after they came in HIS lane. Sorry, but semi’s aren't always right.
Number 6 was great instant karma
To be fair, the lane wasn't plowed properly. His lane suddenly ended due to an incomplete plow job.
6: plow grew gets some of the blame for that.
Nothing like seeing a determined truck tire trying to get over a guard rail
Normally it irks me when a cammer lats on the horn for extended periods, 2.3 didn't keep it going long enough.
Starting to realize that many of these videos are provoked to get on this channel. Of course there are the accidental ones, but man... a lot of these cammers are jerks.
Ditto!!!!!
Agreed. Why won't people just let others merge? Why try to close the gap? Your ego might get bruised if someone merged in front of you? People probably stop watching their mirrors for a second when they've spotted enough space to merge and that's when the other idiot throttles up. No wonder insurance costs so much.
Yeah, it's only the people with dash cams.....get real
The opposing lanes of travel are not your parking lot or turn around field!
1. 2. Could have avoided that and could have let the guy in. He wasn’t being overly aggressive.
0:53 Tractor trailer: am I not damaged? DO I NOT BLEED??
1:41 why isnt there a constant warning sound when you try to drive with that thing up ?
Dude I can't keep watching Sherman do this. I know it's necessary but ShiT
If he backs in from the middle lane, he puts his truck in the ongoing lanes while his trailer is in the oncoming lanes. That would make it so he basically never gets the chance to start his maneuver to back in and he'll be stuck there.
Unfortunately most people have no knowledge of truck driving and don't understand what's happening so they just look at him like "What is this idiot doing?" and then try to drive around him but then when they see what he is doing that's when they go "Oooohhhh ok, good job backing up buddy 👍" and move on with their day. The people in these comments aren't even experiencing that and are crying about if it's legal or not like I'm sorry, you let numbers, letters and lines control your life? You must be insufferable.
My uncle and aunt were long a haul truckers for close to a decade, in the 80's. He always said that Asshole School was a requirement to get your CDL. I miss that guy.
2.2 Watch that P.T.O. handle guys! For those that don't know, a truck with a bed or a trailer operated by a hydraulic ram has what is known as a P.T.O. (Power Take Off). Tow trucks, dump trucks, dump trailers, etc, they all operate on the same hydraulic principle; the PTO. Inside the cab, there's a little lever that engages and disengages the PTO, and it's basically a little gearbox on the side of the transmission and is operated by pushing in the clutch, engaging the PTO, and then engaging the clutch. The problem is, if the handle isn't fully locked into the 'down' position, it can build a small amount of residual pressure in the system. If the trailer is full, is no big deal, but when empty, that small amount of pressure can engage the ram and lead to big problems.
tl;dr = Every time you see a truck run into an overpass like this, that's what happens.
9.1 The trucks lane was ending, the SUV had the right of way. Sure, it would have been nice if he'd let you in, but he's under no obligation to. It is your responsibility to merge safely.
Exactly my thoughts.
2.1 - Great job avoiding an accident.
#5 Is a liability, left of center, improper lane use, improper backing, unlawful/improper turns, etc. This company is going to end up paying out alot of money when a collision happens specially when the dash cam gets subpoenaed and the jury gets to watch the repeated violations as though it's every day practice.
Your hazards and a hand out the window does absolutely nothing except demonstrate you KNEW you were performing an unlawful and negligent series of traffic maneuvers.
Absolutely no vehicle has the right to do what you're doing. Its unlawful, obstructing, and negligently reckless.
You will eventually hit a motorist who has the LAWFULLY POSSESSED right of way performing these maneuvers and your CDL will be at risk. While your company and the insurance will pay dearly for the known illegalities of its actions, your license is the one who takes the criminal citation and the points.
1.3 Glad that tire had the sense and decency to do everything it could to get off the road. It's a better drive than 90% of the people in the videos that get posted.
#1.2 YOU hit him
18 wheelers can’t stop on a dime, so don’t risk it.
0:12-- based on how quick the advanced green arrow came up in the cammer's direction it looks like not only did the blue car that got hit but the redish car behind him didn't just run a yellow light but it was probably red (at least a red light by the time the red car got to the intersection).
#5 i would be incredibly confused and terrified if a semi was driving TOWARDS ME on MY side of the road. How is ANYONE supposed to know what you're doing regardless of hand signals? That's crazy.
Absolutely agree. Only thing I would be thinking is OMG I'M GONNA DIE!
Ok if you are incredibly confused by what's happening ahead of you, perhaps stop until you know it is safe to proceed?
@@randgrithr7387 of course I would stop, but I'd still be freaking out if a semi was driving right at me!
It looks like a tough job. I don't think I could do it. Respect.
#5 all i can say is, "oooookay"
Allright, but it definitely is NOT O.K. (Which I think might be your point.)
@@OEllsworth the reason I said "okay" because I was speechless and trying to figure out what was going on. So, that's why I said, "okay" and I know it's not okay.
@@stephanievivier290 OK. If you read my comment you will see that I acknowledged that could be your meaning.
4:24 Sorry karen, but traffic does NOT yield to you. You yield to traffic. You are completely in the wrong.
#5 couldn't you come the other way instead of going into oncoming? Stop before, get out, place cones, pull forward then reverse?
The traffic on the expressway on the right were very very lucky that the wheel incident at 8:09 happened during construction. There's normally only a short guardrail there. If this had happened without the construction then that tire could've jumped the guardrail and ended up in oncoming traffic. There's an expressway lake there, but that's beyond this point. Granted the chance is remote but given how far semi tires can bounce, even on grass, it might have headed right into oncoming traffic, creating a possible deadly mess. A tire bouncing downhill like that could create a giant mess.
This is southbound I-294, Tri-state, which goes from Wisconsin to Indiana arcing through the northern, western and southern suburbs. The expressway on the right is I-290, Stephenson, which goes under the old Post Office, downtown, and heads to the NW Subs. Here I-294, which we're on, is a bit higher than I-290. They're both very busy pretty much all day. disaster avoided there.
5.^ This guy's preference to go on the wrong side of the road and back into the business is not the problem of the other road users who are where they need to be. The lot looks to have enough size for him to pull in forward and then get turned around. It may not be easier or preferred, but that doesn't matter. He's the one imposing on others here.
Wow the ignorance! Why don’t you google map that before opening your mouth. It’s a restaurant with a narrow parking lot and no way to swing a tractor trailer around. And the way he’s backing in is the safest way, blind siding in would be a disaster. Just have some patience and give us a little space.
@@SquirrelDarling1 1) I am not going to hunt on google maps for hours to try to find some random place.
EDIT: I see the barely visible coordinates on the bottom. Still, not going to take the time. to figure out where this is.
EDIT2: decided to look. There's an entire back way in with a larger parking lot for the first two buildings. For the third building there's a loading dock in back sized for smaller trucks. Street view even shows such a truck in the drive around the building. If they want semi truck front access then they need to eliminate some parking spots to allow it all the time.
2) The parking lot layout and size is the trucker's problem. Not the problem of the people on the road. Entitled jagoffs want the world to come to a halt for them. You're not a special snowflake. Stop inconveniencing other people.
3) Here's an idea for you. Use an appropriately sized truck if the parking lot is too small.
4) That parking lot is way bigger looking in the video than I've seen semi's driven into and out of without driving on the wrong side of the road or blocking the road. EDIT: Looking on aerial they put parking spots where a semi could turn around or drive out. If they want to get goods by semi they need to change their layout. But, it was likely intended not get delivery by semi trucks and then from the back parking lot.
5) approach from the other direction to make a right turn into the lot.
Why not come in from the other direction ?!
@@SquirrelDarling1 What restaurant needs a tractor trailer to deliver to them?
#5 S C Trucker. I think the S C stands for Severely Clueless.
You are severely clueless about truckers.
OMG you are clueless one here! He’s backing a tractor trailer in to make one of many deliveries for the day. He’s backing into a restaurant that has one way in and out, and he probably has a 53ft trailer btw.
@@SquirrelDarling1 What restaurant do you know that needs a 53" truck worth of deliveries?
So that whole series of #5 were seperate occasions & what you have to do each time? Thats just nuts! That part of your route needs to be changed so you’re coming in from the opposite direction & making a R turn. Otherwise, something bad will happen including probably you using your CDL.
#5, I feel like everybody did a good job considering that's not normal to see/handle. Cammer is the out of place one on those.
#5 needs to do something different for a living. Definitely something that does not require operating a vehicle.
Agreed. Basket weaving might be a good choice.
7:17 …
YOU were the one who was merging
6:08 What the hell's he trying to do? No, being a truck doesn't give you the right to drive on the wrong side of the road.
2.2: nice save.
1.3: "you picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel"
Imagine thinking just because you’re a big truck that you can go down the wrong side of the street, and then get upset at all the other people that are driving correctly.
Welcome to reality. Truckers are literally taught to block roads to make a maneuver as safe as possible ... and I hate to break it to you, 4-wheel drivers are taught to look out for trucks and give them space.
1:30 can't believe they don't have a warning light or beep telling them their box is up. It should go off as sound as they go over 10 mph or something.
0:39 the engine brake sounds so good!
Roav truck driver, it doesn't matter how you put your blinkers on. You are still illegal. Pulling into the opposite lane to then drive over 3 lanes to back into places is wrong, wrong, wrong!
Go around the block so you are then on the other side of the road. Then back in, only blocking your own lanes.
so... back up blindly, knowing nobody in the town understands that trucks take up space... that's not going to drive up the delivery price by about 2 cars per delivery.
@@kenbrown2808 Then a smaller truck needs to deliver. Or someone (or two) from the business to provide traffic control assistance. You're making some pretty lame excuses for extremely terrible driving.
@@InternetKilledTV21 no, I'm not. I'm pointing out that all you armchair truckers are even worse.
@@kenbrown2808 You are making dogshit excuses, kid. Trucker is simply driving like their IQ is on the speed limit sign. A smaller vehicle would be safer. Second bodies as traffic control would be safer. Driving directly towards traffic is in no way safe for any other road users.
@@kenbrown2808 Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better kid. Smaller truck is safer. More bodies to control traffic predictably is safer. You're making terrible excuses for a driver whose IQ is clearly on the speed limit sign.
9 - You can clearly see the person in your front drivers side mirror. Yea, he could’ve and should’ve let you merge with him but you forced your way in as your lane was ending. You’re in the wrong.
3. that honda driver needs his license pulled for life
2:58 definitely a Vancouver native calling someone a closet.
Tabarnak!
#5 needs to visit the nearest truck stop and get a real driver to properly approach this drop-off from the right direction without crossing 3 lanes of oncoming traffic. Asinine
That trucker in the last part of the video must think he owns the whole road. I wouldn't wait for him to do whatever nonsense he was doing either. He was driving into oncoming traffic repeatedly. Surely, there was a better way to do whatever nonsense he was trying to do.
Also 5. Should absolutely have their license revoked.
#5 needs his CDL revoked
For doing what he's told to do? Okay....
@@freedomwillneverdie6600 Where is it written you can ignore laws because your boss said to do it?
@@freedomwillneverdie6600 this guy has no clue how to properly back in a trailer not to mention doesn't even give himself plenty of clear space first. He drives into oncoming traffic and gets mad at everyone else who's following the law simply because he has no clue how to back in
0:53 that tire really wanted to go to work....
1:30 Oh man you saved his bacon. Could've been very pricey!
#5 should be in a fixed truck or van delivering in that area. Or perhaps an alleyway behind the buildings?
Most of these are caused by the one videoing!!!
Nah.
It's sad how hormonal these drivers are that they would rather risk a crash or straight up have one rather than get cut off.
Road rage isn't just a myth; it's a very real consequence of dealing with bad drivers like these!
A little bit over 2 years ago that I was almost side swiped by a semi truck as I was coming through. He started to used his blinker but, I did honked at him as I was trying to passed him on the left lane. It was on a highway. I have been in a car accident just a little bit over 12 years ago in early March 2012. I know what it is liked to be in an accident. From that one accident that I broken my left ankle in it. I do have scars on my ankle. One on either side.
#5 it is absolutely batcrap insane that you're expected to make deliveries on that road in a large tractor trailer.
2.3 and 2.4 -- seems like the trucker was in the wrong as well. There is no sense in stopping in the road just to lay on the horn and in the other, he swerves at the car, he would've been just fine
He sends in clips a lot, and half of them show that he shouldn't have a license.
When I saw the "province of Québec bad drivers" text in the lower left corner I knew I'd see some intentional acceleration and swerving to create dangerous situations. Plus horn. Lots of that clown horn.
Shut up. Trucker stopped in the road because bus forced them to. The bus "driver" made an extremely careless maneuver that could have cost many lives. A horn is the least of the issues in this clip weirdo.
@@NocturnalUrnSo, the trucker is at fault for the bus "driver" cutting them the f..k off?
So in 2.3 you are okay with the school bus driver making a turn in front of the semi. What if there are kids on the bus? Your hate for semi drivers/cammers is sickening.
for the driver that has to back up, why TF aren't the people you're delivering to, have someone out there to stop traffic?
1.2. Attempting to merge, had signal on and already entering the lane!
5. THIS is what you get out of those shit trucker schools that ONLY teach you the dash the gears and HOW to back up the rest they leave to learning from experience....
Can the trucker backing up I dunno put signs out before going head on into traffic? I know he is backing up somewhere but the other motorists have no clue wtf the trucker is doing other than going down the wrong way of traffic
He could back up from the left turn lane but that creates other issues
Yeah. He just has to be patient.
Can definitely confirm the horns on those trucks work 👍🏻👍🏻
0:26 - 1.2, the trucker was clearly at fault here as the van had room and had his turn signal on....
No. That's what's known as an "improper lane change" and that is all their fault. Signal grants no right of way.
2.3 Yeah, that was warranted as they are putting people's children at risk.
On the topic of the tire falling off, I had a bike fall off a car in front of me last week. Terrifying and you pretty much have no control over when it happens.
#8 That is one of the worst multi-road exchanges anywhere. Especially if you're getting on I-29.
5.x: what idiot designed that facility?
Unfortunately it might have been there for decades. Also the driver has what might be a 53ft van with a ton of other stops to do. Just have a little patience.
No. 5 getting mad at other people because they don't know what he's doing...smh
It’s doesn’t take rocket appliances to understand what he’s doing ffs..
@@SquirrelDarling1I would hope not. Rocket appliances are surely quite expensive, and I really don't know how an appliance would help people understand anything better.
