    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.

    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!

    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.

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
