@Rick w no you just need to practice a lot
I'm want came to campany
Alex I keep reporting the scammers but he keeps showing up every time I leave UA-cam doesn't do nothing about it
Alex TIP here. I’m a local food truck driver (PFG) in Oklahoma/Arkansas. Whenever you drive those backroads or town roads that say 50 or 55 with a 35 mph curve or even 15mph curve then back to the 55mph, TAKE YOUR TIME. I do it everyday. Let the other drivers get mad. Be safe and do you! Keep up the content big dog.
Thanks for this comment. Helps me know that i am not alone
❤️
I blow the corner at 80 in the long nose green horn
What’s up with this new generation “over safety” run that fucker get paid
A PFG driver giving someone advice. Talk about the blind leading the blind
@Alex the Trucking Guy you definitely could have made that turn. Sometimes you need to approach your turn by owning the lane on your left. I’m from Tx. I’ve been in those small towns. I’ll own the entire intersection to make my turn. Just go slow about it and if you lose sight of your tandems, then just get out. Don’t worry about what others think. 👍🙂 And always remember that someone else has already backed in to wherever you go, so let that take some stress off of you. Even at your destination GET OUT AND LOOK! As for your issue of streets your able to go down GET A TRUE TRUCK GPS!! Also, use google maps BEFORE you get into a mess. It’ll help familiarize yourself with your area to think through the situation.
Hi Alex. The noise you talking about is the Engine cooling fan as the temperature rises up. It goes on and off accordingly:)
You should get a drone and hover it over the truck when parking that way you have a 360 degree camera and it would be awesome to see the truck from bird’s eye view
You're not a doofus driver. Just doing what you can in the situation. People need to understand, and either help, or get out of the way. Peace!
That noise is the clutch fan kicking in to draw air into the radiator and keep things cool.
What happen to your arm did you get in a fight at the truck stop? How did you feel after unloading that truck very manly i bet you becoming a real truck..🚚
Bro this is the coolest channel I've ever seen!! I'm also 23, I've been through ups and downs in life but seeing you and your channel is super inspiring to me!!! I work with your mom and that's how I found this channel. You are living my dream bro!!!! The sky really is the limit. I'll be tuning in for every video🔥
I’m working on 29 years of driving truck , and I’m addicted to watching you . Bro your to funny. But I see you’ve come a long way you’re definitely getting better at driving. Be safe have a good one .
I'm still trying to figure out Why in the World he's wearing a seatbelt while docking.....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@RiverRatWA57 because legally anytime the truck is in anything but N your seatbelt should be on or you can get a ticket especially while still on public roads
@@VDubPDX He's wearing it while backing into a loading dock.........
That's the first thing that came off when I was out there.
@@RiverRatWA57 but he was still on a public road until he was backed into the dock. If it was all on private property then it is different unless required by the facility or the company you drive for. Either way nothing wrong with leaving the seat belt on while backing.
@@VDubPDX there is company policy then there is real life.......company policy stated no knifes or firearms in the truck 🤔that's yet another policy that I ignored.
I was concerned about you the entire video and never saw you mess up.
It would be great if u added a drone over head for some of these tight back ups you have to do. Its hard to make out whats happening from your visor camera. I'm genuinely wanting to learn from what you're going thru. Thanks for the videos!
Texas has the most semi trucks out of the whole US
You're were in Fredericksburg, Texas... birthplace and home of Admiral Nimitz. He was the Commander in Chief of the US Pacific fleet during the second World War.
One of these days Alex will forget to cover his truck number in his videos and I won't have to look into the cab of every GP truck I pass like a dingaling.
2234
Keep on truckin Alex! You remembered the golden rule. Truck goes forwards AND backwards. Solves predicaments we put ourselves into!
Lmfoaoaoa I was watching riding with Dave and the i see this he got the same title just bit different 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Alex, you can most definitely make that turn you’re underestimating your skill brother
Just swing wide. It's a friggen trailer. Alex is way too careful to ever end up on Bonehead Truckers.
I got stuck? looks like yr using click bait to get more viewers.....So Sad 👎
You are not a "doofus." Biff from Back To The Future is a doofus.
Alex I made stupid mistakes too. Still have my CDL but do not drive anymore. But "When in doubt, check it out". Be safe Alex you got this.
Keep up the great work bud there are issues we all go through and that’s just life nice job bro
Damn bro you messed up really bad.i hope you don't get fired for what you did. Sending positive vibes. stay safe out there. Hope it never happens again
@@easyrideguy the joke flew right over your head 😂
That's fredericksburg, I live maybe 50 mins from there in brady. That's wine country.
Best BBQ is in Mason. A true hidden gem.
Just attempted to apply for GP Transco. I’m out of New York and was interested in OTR. Talked to a recruiter and they didn’t want me with no experience in the mountains out west and was told that we’re expected to chain. Just never had that kind of training here in NY and northeast regional. Hitting my 2 year mark in April
You Really are Something Else Alex 😂 But I’m Happy you can Laugh at yourself Too lol. Keep the Rubber Down Driver!!
I don't see it as a mess up. No one got hurt, and nothing was damaged. So, you're good. FYI, In Texas, they have portable scales, they can weigh you on the side of the road. So keep that in mind for future reference.
Dang GP likes sending you to some crazy places. Btw, I think the place you turned around in was a mobile home park and you were in someone's driveway 🤣🤣🤣 I know gotta do what you gotta do. I had to do a 90 degree back into a school driveway to get out of a couldesac with 2 story houses once.
Looked like you were driving through Frericksburg TX
Good driving man. I like the way you stay calm and think it through. Safe travels
How crazy! That town you went through is Fredericksburg...I live there!
Good job getting out of that tight spot. Some of the places they send us are crazy lol. I had to back up half a mile on a state route in Kansas because of a road closure, good thing it was 3am and there was zero traffic
Hey Alex, I got over 300 thumbs up from truckers, gotta look out for our little buddy.
Alex, the struggle is real. I took a freightliner coach bus to Pittsburgh and there were so many side streets my poor bus could never fit. I couldn't imagine being a trucker, my anxiety would be at 100! You did great! Thanks as always for good content!
Pittsburgh pa those streets are super narrow and the by passes are super tough the drivers can’t drive especially been from here i do otr
Yeah Watch the variable speed limits. They go from anywhere from 75 miles an hour to 30. And not necessarily in that order. I've been through texas to go to beaumont Coming from Dallas.that was a fun trip. And many times you get up to speed reduce speed and that because it turns. And yeah 75 miles an hour on those narrow roads. A little bit of white knuckling. And those Ditch on the side of the road don't look promising.
Alex, I saw the fact that you were on the company UA-cam channel
alex we have no touch freight and would love to have you. no more getting in the trailer and unloading...
Good ol ganado tx TA always spots there off 59 going north towards Houston
that looks like fredericksburg texas but i'am in san antonio texas🤠
Alex, you have a natural Kermit the frog voice. Hopefully you find a Ms Piggy. Then rename the channel. "Trucking with Kermit & Ms Piggy"
Your an inspiration to all young drivers who think they can't do what you do.
Slide your tandems all the way forward itll make your job a lot easier backing into spots like that
He should know this by now.. He seems to be more focused on the camera and UA-cam aspect than doing the actual job..
Iam surprised he can operate a pallet jack
I did a pickup in Mohawk in Calhoun, Georgia and they had a display showing your weight that you could see from the cab. I pulled on and weighed the steers, pulled the drives on and then did some math, pulled the tandems on and did some math and knew I was good. Shaw was even better--they had scale broken down by axle sets and it even printed a small scale ticket.
Hello Alex I think you should tell your fans about scamers using your profile to ask money. Some people will belive is you and I just don't want anybody getting scam you know. I want to ply for your company but I don't know if it's good
thats the engine fan you were hearing
Where is your low strap? Word. Or advice.. DOT pull you over. No load strap that's a ticket. Unsecure load. Try to strap all your loads.
At that intersection..making the right..the trailer will follow the truck..so when you go straight into the intersection as far as you can before you turn also in small towns move the tandems up all the way
Alex , I think that your truck 🚚 is groaning , saying Alex this stuff is to much , this cost you some fresh oil ! I need a drink 🍸!
I just don't get why these small companies that do not have a semi dock (this was a box truck dock) order semi loads.
hi
First
You are complaining about two lanes for a turn setimes i only have a single lane and my truck is 326 on the wheelbase and overall length is 95.5 end to end
Man, this guy is one bad driver. You're making us real truck drivers look bad
If you switch jobs in the future you should come to Cali to work for some Indians lol they’ll send you to places where theres no docks and literally the hardest places to back into
Hey Alex, I think you were near Lolita, TX in the 2nd half of your video. I been to the same shipper and truck stop. You were so lucky it only took them 20 min to load you up. I had to waited for 2 hours haha
Don't worry GP will just have your shoot some more commercials no matter how bad you screw up ;) lmao
Truck is whining because you are low on power steering fluid or bad pump.
What all this big companies do cheap freight let driver's deal with this sh...
How much you make now. With GP transport? A week?
1:28 you’re in Fredericksburg.
At my previous job i drove a Freightliner, and now for about a year i drive a Kenworth t680 the ride comfort is noticably different
If you had a pallet jack, you could have had that forklift unload you from the ground.
you are so so so nice. I wish everyone would be as nice as you on the roads.
You’re not a doofus bro I’ve been in worse situations we learn as we go. Just go slow and watch your mirrors
Man I want to be there working on those trucks that's what I want to do that 389 is nice you have nice trucks man
Should have slid the Tantrums all the way back you would have been a lot better off
Shouldn't the back of that load from Fort Worth be strapped ?
Alex you are fun to watch... AND the noises you make crack me up...
Hey Alex, you could have axel scaled at the shipper. Put steers on get weight. Move forward and put rears on. Do the math. Pull all the way on and get total & trailer tandem weight.
Steer weight minus cab weight equals drive axle weight.
A little advice start closing your doors on your trailer before you pull out if you can.
Temperature your fan is coming on that's what that noises.
Him reacting to the engine fan kicking in 😂
If you're not sure stop the truck get out and walk around.
At least you didn't end up on Bonehead Truckers 😄
Not yet 😆
You would not be illegal if you know how to weigh your truck.
Love the videos but you need to work on the endings. LOL
I can see the fear in Alex face. It happen to me and always wondering if someone going to come out to yell at me for bring in a semi truck through their parking lot.
I’m from Arlington tx very close lol
You were in Fredericksburg tx.
You don't know how to weigh each axle?
Enjoy your P.O.S. Frightliner tomorrow I have to go inspect my new 2024 Kenworth Next Gen T680s. If all is right, they'll replace my current fleet Monday. I'll sideline my 2020 fleet until my new rookies start in a week. I'll have to teach them myself which puts us down a driver, but week two will see us nearly doubling drivers, going from 4 regular drivers to 7. I just had to pass up 3 hauling jobs to
midwest for lack of drivers.
It's all broker loads means garvege
Button hooks are your best friend.
That sound the truck makes is the fan kicking in to cool the engine down lol
I would of had them unload me from the street.
Walmart driver here. Try going through Fredericksburg during October fest. 👀
Oh by the way look at the air gauge on your fifth wheel if it's above Close To Fifty or sixty,psi then you have more weight on your Steers. That could give you a bit of an indthat you may Be overweight It's not exact science but gives you an indicator Or a Guestament.
7:10 what’s that high pitched noise
HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE ✌️ HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY...
OK, so backing into a dock is not your strong suit YET, While you are still learning slide your tandems all the way forward in a tight dock, the trailer will respond much better and give you more swing on tight roads/docks/alleys.
Wish my 40k lbs loads were smooth I carry hazmat vehicle paint to warehouses. The liquid sloshing around gives you a wave sensation.
Rookie, just don't learn....stay big road!!!!I've been there ok learn hard way
Alex what's your referral code. I'm applying for your company
26:28 "TRUMP WON" flag LOL
You don't go to a delivery place to pick up. If you need 2 1/2 days to go 1200 miles, go work at subway.
Bro stop speaking like kid
Back in the 1980's I would do 1200 miles in 25 hours carting tomatoes to market.
I have a dedicated route that takes me to Markle, IN which is roughly half an hour away from FT. Wayne, IN. I go into FT. Wayne sometimes but I prefer to stay clear of it lol. I'll be watching for your big blue truck on I65 if you come that way lol. I run that interstate everyday
Hey I love your videos my dude! Also did you by chance drive down east main Street in Leesburg ohio at around 10:08 am on March 14th 2023? It is a long shot but I seen a gp truck just go by my house.
