Bro you’re an animal! Anyone that’s driven a truck can feel the stress of that whole situation. Nice work.
Yup my heart was pounding watching this video lol I have to deliver to tight areas in NY/NJ, Baltimore etc all the time but this one looked extra stressful 😅 Great job driver
We “Get Er Done”‼️‼️‼️
Staying my muscles are all tense man just like I was doing the work back in in that was badass
Thank you!!!!
@@funnysparta thank you!
It's amazing how everyone outside of the drivers' seat is an expert and knows how you should be doing it. Amazing job. I applaud you.
Yeah the cop who thinks he knows everything..lol
Well there are plenty of people behind the wheel of these vehicles that seem to have no idea what they're doing. Not in this case though.
So many workers right there.
Everyone is waving and doing hand signals but each is different. 😅
This former flatbedder and tanker tanker gives you tremendous respect. Not only did you get it in and out, you did it in a long-nosed conventional with a sleeper. And, aside from the exchange with Mr. Know it All, you kept your cool throughout. I’m so impressed.
Mr.know it all probably came from the 84th. Precinct,.. right across the street from the site. Probably retired. Lot of retired veteran cops have " badges " , AND still abuse authority. You handled him like a " New Yorker ". 🎉🎉
Thats tough as heck even with european cabover truck 😮 very impressive indeed
this is a level of driving i didnt know existed. absolutely wild. well done sir, i hope they pay you top dollar for this
85 cent mile. Picked up 3 miles from here
Bro, go UPS! They pay $1.29 a mile and none of this BS
@@bh1567🤣
That feeling of relief when you can just start shifting gears, driving normal and put it all behind you
I'm retired after 25 years, and 1.5 million miles, and I never had to get in as tight a place as you did here. My hat is off to you!
You needed a cabover.
Great job.
I used to drive a 30ft straight truck, and had to back into some crazy tight spots, but not like what you did
60k miles a year?
@@Fukr1985
Probably closer to 120,000 a year
@@bertgrau3934 120k miles a year for 25 years would be 3 million.
@@Fukr1985
My apologies, I thought you were taking about the driver that did the backing. I drove for 44 years, and I averaged 120,000 a year. The last few years I worked I only drove about 90,000 a year. I retired January 2022.
I've had to back 48 footers into borderline driveways off tight streets in NY. Still not as stressful as this right here. I hate that place and after having to do it so many times, i refuse to go back. So much respect to you my guy. The balls and skill associated with this. Tremendous.
99% of people wont ever know just how difficult what you just did was. My hat is off to you bro, amazing job, and inspiring! Thats a big 10-4 good buddy, when the bears come out the woods looking for a picnic it's best just to leave em hungry!
The level of skill it takes to drive like this is beyond what most people can imagine. AMAZING work!
Oh yes, I'm currently in CDL truck driving school. It has given me a whole new respect.
Seriously. I've been in some rough spots but this had me sweating bullets just watching
A masterpiece of skill, belief, and tenacity!!! Truly inspiring. BRAVO!
Like anything it becomes instinctual after a while
@@jefauiz I mean how hard could it be when you have 8 guys spotting you? Literally just trial and error at that point.
I’ve been building multistory projects in NYC for 20 years. I have always had respect for you drivers who are able to deal with this BS of the city. Especially everyone with a badge thinking they know what you can and can’t do. And the impatience of every other driver that never give you guys a break! Great job.
The should be retired loud mouth cop got under my skin pdq!
I gotta say as I read your comment, my inner voice changed to a New York accent😂
I don't know how you do it.
Love how those whom "can't" assume we can't, after all it's what we do for a living! Loved this! Your the man!
You threaded that needle, sir! That was super trucker level. I've been driving for 10 years, never been in that tight of a spot.
Kudos to all the spotters for actually helping. No telling how many crews I've delivered to that just stand around offer no help.
You were in no way paid enough to deliver that load. You did an unbelievable job. I felt he stress from here. Awesome!
Dude, can't give you enough props for that. I've put a lowboy in places I thought were impossible, but that takes the cake.
I really appreciate that! I feel ya there!
This man has skills beyond expectations he's on a whole other level. Nothing but RESPECT for this guy.👍🏻
Well… Now I know why the vast majority of carriers refuse to go to NYC/Long Island.
But anyways, BRO, that was absolutely amazing what you accomplished there under so much pressure. Thank Christ you had a bunch of guys there spotting you. Nobody could’ve done that alone without spotters. Borderline superhuman what you did there.
I do this all the time in DC, delivering large construction equipment. It’s tonight, and my hats off to this driver.
And that ladies and gentlemen is what you call a professional Truck Driver!! Well done Sir!
Yep
Oh hes a super trucker level for sure!!
Totally.
Yes, well done indeed!!
The definition of a professional truck driver.
Mad skills.
What makes a good trucker is not only the driving but also the planning and timing. Kudos to you sir
Absolutely amazing feat of truck driving. You should be proud of your abilities, and to come out of that virtually unscathed and didn’t even break a sweat is crazy. Great job!
That was intense. You handled the cop perfectly and still kept your cool, exhibiting skill and professionalism.
"Get this guy outta here!"
*Revvs engines loudly*
"Are you gonna listen??"
"NO!"
A useless bitter old cop in NYC, What a shocker.
That was hilarious
With spotters and flaggers, even. Wish I'd had them doing the oversized precast concrete
@@Vector-bh8qc I love it when a cop tries to tell me how to do MY job. I usually ask them, 'do I try to tell you how to do your job? No? Don't bother trying to tell me how to do mine.'
A construction site monkeys arm get so tired thinking they are helping you when in reality most of the time you can't even see them 🤣
Coming from a guy who has done a fair amount of work in the boroughs...... mad respect for what you did here. People have no idea what drivers(and construction crews) face everyday in that rat maze!!
Construction workers are idiots and will get you in a kind of trouble.....a bunch of retards that never drove will try and tell you what you can and can't do
You’re my hero! Been driving for 23 years and you just impressed the hell out of me! Good job driver. Be safe
WOW, this is why I'm not a truck driver, being in a situation like is what separates a true pro from the rest of us, the skill and patients you have is unbelievable, Great job. I would have not been able to do this. impressive. and your right, they should have used 2 or 3 smaller trucks for this, it's insane. but you made it. that says a lot
as a fellow truck driver my respect sir you dealt with the stress of the situation and handled it like a pro
"Like" a pro? Why do you think we're called professional truck drivers??
@@rogerscalf231 because of these tiny ass turn they want us to back into
I’ve driven a truck for 21 years as a city driver, LTL. Everyone wants their stuff to be at the stores when they go to pick it up but no one cares about a truck driver and what they had to go through to get it there! Excellent driving on your part….I’m impressed.
One of the easiest 50-70k job without an education
Well it's not like you're not getting paid... That's your thanks and appreciation when it comes down to it... Some people appreciate you though by looking out for you guys and leaving space when you need it... Most are too impatient to consider it, but there's people out there that know you being a professional driver ain't easy
@@llamacebu216eah of course it’s easy, why don’t you do it? Go learn the countless laws you need to know to drive one of these, let alone the truck pretrip😂
What ur saying is true. I care though & always give truckers the right of way.
Living here in Alaska trucking is one of the forms of transport we get important goods to us.!!
Mad RESPECT for this proffessional & to all truckers who drive the roads of our great Nation!!
Got to fix that power steering my guy
This freaking driver deserves The Medal Of Honor in Trucking ! 🎖️
I've been in similar situations and I hear you.
Good job.
I am retired now but I felt like holding that steering wheel.
A piece of advice for less experienced drivers: Never do a favor to your dispatcher because it will never be returned to you. Especially for NYC.
Great job man!
I really like how the workers actually know how to give directions and know to stand in line with your mirrors.
95% of the time, people that try to help you are only getting in the way.
Ain't that the truth.
None of them knew what they were talking about. I hate those morons.
So true
I'm an amateur with an RV, and there's almost always someone insisting on "helping" when I try to back into a site. Less than ten percent of the time they're actually helpful. Adding another person to keep track of when you're focusing on where all the obstacles are is a PITA.
Very much so😂. Like dude..just don’t let me hit shit..outside of that..I got it lol
This is my childhood neighborhood I grew up in. You did a great job backing that truck in. The true meaning of a professional truck driver. Great job!!!
I don’t drive a truck but I do pull trailers 24/7 and that was incredibly impressive. Guys like you that make shit happen are what keeps this country moving forward on a daily basis. Thank you for all that you do. God bless🫡
It’s nice to have a dozen fans waving their hands everywhere as you’re backing up.
I was thinking the same thing. I've always hated that. Seems they know more how to maneuver the truck than the Driver
You and drivers like us are the reason I can still say I'm proud to be a truck driver. Not sure I could have got that in there but like you, I've never refused a back and always got it in eventually. The camera never does these things justice but it looked tight even in video. Major props for getting it done.
Thank you! I couldn't agree more!
As a former Brooklyn New Yorker, who would never even drive my own car there now. You did one Hell of a Job!
I've been driving 20 years and you did an amazing job getting in there, with all the pressure that was being put on you, from the cop, to people honking, to the crew pushing you. I know some of the best drivers out here, and they all say you did great as well, they also said you should have told to take a flying leap, but you hung in there the same as I would have, because we take failing personal.
The way you handle this whole situation. You sir are a real driver. Much respect!
The next time I complain about a narrow filed approach or a tight country road, I'll think about this video. I'll never complain again! Great driving man! You kept your cool way better than I would have. If that guy would've beat on my truck like that, I would've been in the street with him.
Im just a civilian but I can really appreciate your work. I hope videos like these can make us all a little more appreciative of each other. Nice work.
Everyone is a civilian, just some seem to think they're more special than other civilians. hah.
When your police departments, FDs, etc, made up of citizens, starts using terms like “tour of duty”, “civilian” etc to explain their day job, you know the government class thinks their a couple steps above their neighbors and the every day morons support it. These well paid government employed citizens are not going to a militarized zone and losing half their unit. Civilian literally means “non-combatant”. This is some insane mental conditioning.
I will reaffirm what all of the other commenters have voiced. Your skill was absolutely extraordinary. You kept your cool under extremely trying circumstances. Why the detective had to intervene instead of offering a hand is a mystery to me. Drove for 40 years and never ceased to be surprised by how many people, including those receiving the material, rarely understood a tractor trailer needs lots and lots of room, especially a 53 footer with a sleeper and a long nose. They could have moved both the dumpster and the orange barrier on the sidewalk sooner than they did, the skateboarder who darted behind you should have waited and beware of customers who say, "We get big trucks here all the time". They are frequently unaware of differences in trailer lengths and wheel bases. Had the feeling your power steering pump was hurting, judging by the sound. Take a bow for doing about the best urban backing I've had the pleasure to witness. Kudos. Trucker tip: I found, after having endured particularly difficult experiences like yours, it helped me calm down a little if I struck up a conversation with someone-anyone about a topic unrelated to trucks. Sounds silly but it diverted attention away from my own aggravation. Try it. Take care.
Wow! Awesome patience with a nearly impossible task and amazing surgical precision in achieving it! Mad respect!!!
This video shows why alot of drivers cannot manage a delivery in New York. I have to say that that was truly amazing driving skills. I have watched many trucking videos but this video shows pride and skill and is the number one hardest backing up video on you tube. Keep the video coming. And thanks for sharing your world of trucking
I agree 100% and thank you that really means a lot! I will do my best!!
This is great! I love how as soon as the old cop yells at you, the truck goes into an incredibly loud high idle, making it impossible for him to talk
I gotta say I'm highly impressed with your skills to back the trailer and your skills to handle the workers. Good job man
This guy is a GOAT of backing!! He deserves a sub and a like. In fact I’m not even going to skip ur ads again.
Dude that is the greatest comment I've ever received!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very well done sir! You are a credit to your profession!
It's a pity that the construction company didn't think "Oh we have large truck/trailers coming, we should get the permits to cone off the parking on the street" to give you room to turn. And I couldn't believe that the garbage container was still there when you left!
😂😂😂😂
That’s because the company is non union scabs
And here I thought my experience of a 180 no-touch-curb into a blackout bay was rough. THIS is pure BONKERS! You deserve to be in the epic skills award show
I'm looking to get into the truckin game in the near future and love watching stuff like this. I've been working in receiving and other types of dock working the past 8 years and I've always enjoyed interacting and conversing with the truck drivers. My favorite part of my last job was communicating with the yard dogs on my two way radio. participating and chiming in on the banter provided me with valuable entertainment while getting through my shift. Those guys could get a trailer in and out of any spot and watching this video brings me back to that. Balls and nerves of steel🤙
Buddy my clutch leg was trembling just watching. Hats off to ya for getting in there. I'm just like you as I was watching I kept thinking,it's gonna suck getting out. I've been in those positions many time in my 38 years of driving. You did it right
Brother, my deepest respect. I used to drive a smaller truck in NYC and I felt stressed. I can't imagine me trying what you did.
Your co-pilot was calm and collected, and that helps!!
That was a stressful situation. Salute to you man by having the patience and keep your composure together. The fact that you was doubting yourself at first sight to actually doing something unbelievable is outstanding especially in NY. Good Shit
I take my hat off to your skills as a driver and most for your patience, dedication and education dealing with all those obstacles! Congratulations, you're absolutely a exemplar worker!
Well done; you just put yourself in a new price bracket. There aren’t a lot of drivers these days that can stuff that one
I always used to love it when people would tell me how to drive my truck. Sometimes I would just hop out and wave them into the cab and ask them to show me how its done. Never had anyone take me up on it though. Nice job mate in a tight situation. Like how they left the trash bin there for you, really considerate of them.🤣
I’ve had the opposite experience driving tow truck. Some guys can’t back up to save their lives, even in a straight line with nothing to hit. I’ve offered to back their truck up after I got them unstuck and they practically leapt out of the drivers seat. No idea how they passed a road test. Must just pull into a yard and drop the trailer and the shunt truck takes it from there.
Been driving 45 years and always amazed how some of the guys even get a cdl..
Good to see someone that has true driving skills..
You have incredible driving skill and nerves of steel. Well done. I was getting totally stressed out just watching this.
I don't know how you could handle that guy coming up to the cab, I would have went off at him lol. It's bad enough when you've got 10 people telling you 10 different things when you're reversing, let alone some random person being aggressive like that. You did well though man, sometimes you've gotta zone out from the people guiding you until you're about to hit something even if they get annoyed. I'm so glad I stopped doing building site work, this brought back all kinds of PTSD 😂
It was tough for sure! And I couldn't agree more. I love that you understand and hahahahaha I can only imagine re living those bad memories hahah
Dude truck drivers like you are rare. I’ve been driving 10 years. I felt the stress watching your video. I hope you make the best pay for your skills
I drive a truck and a 16x5 enclosed trailer. I will never be stressed about any type of reverse maneuver. If a cop was screaming at me from the beginning I probably would have just sat there and thought for a few mins. This guy is a beast.
I love how the people that guide you in just keep waving you forward even if your not going to make it
As a former truck driver, Awesome job my friend , I had some pretty tough back ups myself, so I know the feeling, trying stay professional and keeping your Cool, with all of the distractions from the guys, good job 👍🏾
Just developed a whole new level of respect for truck drivers. Wow! Respect
Absolute savage of a driver! Mad respect for what you do. This makes me miss NY
Bro, you had me at TRACTOR TRAILER BACK and NY. Boss-level skills!
I've heard of drivers using drones to help with blind-spot backing in situations like this. They can see their ENTIRE truck, pedestrians, passenger cars, etc.
To all the "spotters": this driver knows his limits. All he needs from you is whether or not he's ALL CLEAR to make his moves.
You earned your $$$ on that job
Damm that was tight. The camera doesn’t show justice to how tight it really was
Nicely done
I agree! Thank you I really appreciate that!
next time let big daddy push it back inside!
My company was based in Connecticut so NY and Boston were on the plate every day. We drove 53’ trailers with cab over sleepers. The deliveries I made every day required a super human effort with zero reward. NY was tight and congested with subway tracks overhead, everywhere. You really earn your money down in the city. Fun Fact: Those helper guys are useless. They hold a stop sign really great but don’t know a thing about what a driver is trying to do. Frustrating!
You are right about sign holders,,, just pay attention to them and you will destroy your truck,, they will let you hit everything 😮
@@albertsmall5965 Hey Albert, I love the little circles they make with their fingers indicating which way to turn your steering wheel. Half circle clock wise the other counter clockwise. It always cracked me up. I drove a rig 42 years in the worst places imaginable. I always depended on my own skills and good judgment.
Yes, I never trusted anyone trying to tell me what to do. I would just tell them to not let me hit anything, otherwise Let me drive the truck.
There were three "helpers" standing at the back, all giving different directions.
@@kingairmech7162 That used to crack me up.
I cannot even imagine the amount of skill this must take to do. TYVM for your hard work every day.
I've been backing up all types/styles of trailers for 51yrs. Still do it every day for a living- and I'm damned good at it. You're Better!
Hat's off to ya, Guy... You're a Master at the trade. Stay Safe.
You SHOT THAT AT A HIGH TECH LEVEL and NOBODY can take that away from you..... Absolutely phenomenal job brother and too have your buddy right there next to you the whole time in the cab of that truck having your back makes that whole situation that much more special.... Keep on truckin' and stay safe out there.
Never thought I'd see someone use that phrase outside of jail
I have never driven truck, so I don't have any relatable experience, but I think you did one fantastic job. The job site frankly should have set it up for them to offload you at another location and put the material on a smaller truck, but you are exactly correct that they are just trying to be cheap. You are a credit to all of the professional truck drivers out there. Stay safe.
When other truckers think flatbedder can’t back I’ll send em to this video. This is masterful work sir! Blindsiding in a burrough with that amount of setup space is crazy!! Then the rest was simply ridiculous. You are a master sir!
You've blown my mind. Mad driving skills and patience whew!
Done alot of trucking in the city, never could have done that. I always like to challenge myself but wouldn't done that. Dude you are the man, hats off to you, strong work.
So what? Lol “hey boss I brought the load back bc I can’t drive… yknow? What I was hired to do?” Lmao. Scrub
I currently drive an f450 w/ a 40ft gooseneck we use to deliver trusses with and I can feel some of that stress with these construction sites. Large home developments with small roads and sharp turns not meant for trucks plus dozens of trucks and other things parked in the road and some. I have been getting a lot of steps in checking sites out before driving down a road to get stuck for who knows how long. Good Job, I had to watch that all the way through. I love that pulling back out forward is at least less stressful than the backin was usually. haha
this is pure magic. no other words to explain this.
That was a true miracle, nothing but skill. Good job damn
Wow, that was the most impressive backup I have ever seen. Great job!!!
You pushed yourself to the limit. And you conquered the impossible! You kept your wits together and thats what counts. You did a phenomenal job!!
Thank you every single person in this video
You men are the ones who keep this magnificent city running and working
Did this kind of shit for 7 years in downtown Chicago. Its awesome to see there are still competent drivers out there...Rock on !!
Excellent video and job getting in. I don't understand how that building will ever get finished if they expect trailers to get in there all the time. Your side shots once again are perfect, so much so that I could feel your pain. Thanks for the great video.
I really appreciate that and I totally agree. They said they have another entrance that was blocked that day but should re open and hopefully it does because that spot is terrible. And I appreciate that and need that feedback! Thank you for watching I'm glad I could bring you something good to watch!
I don’t think any of those turban cowboys could’ve done what he did.
My hat is completely off to you bro! That was the most insane backup I have EVER seen. I work in construction and most drivers would have refused that backup, and rightfully so. The construction company should have made arrangements to unload from the street! Great job!
Good spotter help makes all the difference in the world. Great job guys
Great job !!! First trip I ever took in a truck they sent me to down town New York That was 40 years ago. I feel for you guys now that have to go into the city. You done a great job. I have gone to places before where I would be sweating trying to get backed in. Thank You for the video....
Good job, I'm a long time Heavy Haul/Oversize guy, places like that are a fact of life, some of the places I've had to get into with a 4 axle tractor and 4 axle lowboy still give me nightmares, but fortunately I've never hit anything or never refused to deliver. Seems like there's always some idiot offering their 2 cents, I've always been pretty decent about not going off on anybody, but there have been a few times I've just said "STFU and get the F outa my way". Not a good look, but I felt better afterwards, lol. Stay safe and keep on keeping on.
I started in a lowboy as well so I can relate for sure! And yes man I can't stand people and their opinions when they have no idea. And I couldn't agree more definitely makes you feel better! I'll do my best and you do the same driver! Keep on trucking!!!
Your the backwards man the backwards man you can go backwards as fast as they can
Respect for that. Incredible driving and patience.
I use to hate going into the city or the burrows. But in my early days it gave me the experience I needed. You did an unbelievable job, especially blindsiding it. I'm impressed.
The Lab in the sleeper was so cool. Dogs can bring humanity back to an intense situation. Glad this driver had laborers that assisted him. What a great video. This driver has skill as a therapist in his future. Must have had great parents.
Beautiful comment; the driver deserves it. However, I would swear we were seeing an Irish Setter. 😉
Agree! Both he & his beautiful lab are real cool cucumbers!!
@@powerdude4e 🙂 They are beautiful and well tempered animals as well!! 🐕🦺 love them both!
Good to see professionals doing their job. Shame some "professionals" don't stay in their lane of expertise. Nice work.
Beautifully done. Final boss moves!
This man is a legend for pulling that off with very little room of margin 😎😎😎👍👍👍
I love the guys waving and "helping" us back up. Sitting there with no stress being like hurry hurry, and they have no idea how a trailer pivots or the amount of room needed to get under the trailer. Nice job
That’s what I thought as well. All that dude sees is the trailer is straight and lined up and wants him to keep going but doesn’t understand he needs to straighten the tractor out otherwise it won’t be straight for very long. That annoyed me watching him wave like that.
I was just thinking that! The forklift drivers and construction workers always want to start waving their hands and turning them telling us which way to turn the wheel. Like bro…stop…you don’t even have a CDL. Don’t tell me what to do. Just tell me where to stop at.
I particularly liked ALL 25 dudes at once waving their hands around as if any one of them an inclination, a tiny scant of an idea as to what that took,or what the heck they were doing, as a driver myself my hats off to you driver cuz all those hands in the air would have driven me insane like it's their license on line, anyway keep the shiny side up there easy rider and stay 😎 🆒️
I love you dude!! Reminds me of my brother ground guiding me up a mountain switchback hiking path for the forest service in a business class M2 with 3k gallons. Sketchy, one dually hanging off a drop off on one side. I love the keep cool collected, set the brake, turn the key off, tell the boss to come get it with a sky crane attitude.. but come to your senses and do it for the fun and man points…. Non worthless humans amaze me with their fortitude and talent it takes to be the best. Very much enjoyed that video buddy, thank you for sharing…
That was awesome!! I had runs like that in downtown Los Angeles. Stressful 100% but getting it in and the feeling of accomplishment priceless!
That was some amazing backing up, AND going forward! I backed in trucks for over 30 years at a factory, my experience isn't even in the same universe with what you just did.
He did a great job. Even with the nypd being a dick
Very nice driving skills. Hats off to you and the crew that was helping you. They actually were giving you the correct directions.
I have been OTR since 2006 and have gotten into some tight spots, nothing compares to what you did.
I was about to have an anxiety attack watching you. Lol. Well done sir.
I’ve never seen someone stand driving before.
That was awesome!
You da man sir…
absolute masterpiece of a back up man. i know a part of you loved it though, take away the stress of holding up traffic and damaging your truck and all that shit backing up in difficult spots is always a pretty fun challenge.
Brother this was amazing! Well done and thanks for sharing with us! I got goosebumps when you started leaving and blew the horn at them and they did it back, y’all were in it together 👌🏽👏🏽 shout out to all of yall!
Thank you! I really appreciate that! I couldn't agree more it's always a team effort!!!!
