@@norbertjaworowski6314 W Polsce mówi się że okazja czyni złodzieja. Ludziom wydaje się że duże filmowe pojazdy nie są kradzione. Jednak czasem zdarzają się wyjątki. Nie do pomyślenia jak np dziecko dla zabawy "ukradło" tramwaj z pętli, aby samo przejechać się kilka przystanków. Ostatnio w centrum Warszawy na chodniku między pasami ruchliwego ronda widziałem ciężarówkę konkretnie pełnowymiarową śmieciarkę z zapalonym silnikiem i zapewne nie zamkniętą kabiną w której nikogo nie było. Wokół śmieciarki żadnej osoby. Za to z 8 m dalej przy windzie jeden Afroamerykanin, odwrócony tyłem do samochodu odwróconego bokiem od strony pasażera. Tak że bez problemu ktoś mógłby podejść a z drugiej strony wsiąść to też miedziaki i odjechać. To dziwny obrazek okazało się inni pracownicy śmieciarki byli podziemnym centrum handlowym z którego odbierali śmieci, wysyłając na górę pojemnik windą do której już sam już się nie zmieścili. Na górze czekał tylko ten nieumiejący mówić po polsku. Dlatego zaskoczony gdy sie zapytałem - Czy w waszej firmie nigdy nikt nie ukradł z ulicy śmieciarki?

I've worked for two companies in the US and we aren't allowed to use maps they can't be updated in real time. We use trucking apps at one company that will never take u under a bridge your too tall for or a road you can't be on and at the other company they had dispatchers wrote down directions and they would update us if another driver hit traffic to reroute ECT.
This guy is just using google maps. Nav systems used in the Nederlands are updated weekly. This shouldn't have happend if he used the official nav system.
Respect to the young driver. Others would just drive through that no heavy vehicle zone but he did not gave up, no matter how maybe embarrassed he was.
OMG dude, I live on a corner of a back road and a 2 lane highway, and about twice a month Dollar General trucks try to turn onto the back road to cut over to another highway. The turn looks fine but it's just barely too much for a semi to make without getting their right side tires stuck on the grass in the hay field. It happens so much everyone on our little corner jumps into action. I stop traffic going one way, the old lady across the street stops traffic on the other side, and the farmer who owns the field instructs the driver to back up and drive through the field and get back on the highway. They have to drive a specific path, but luckily for them it happens so much there is a visible path for semis to drive through the field trailer and all. It's the sole reason the farmer doesn't grow anything in that little 10 acre field lol.
Definitely. He poured out whatever was in his glass so somebody else could fill it up. Humility. In this day and age people feel like it is the end of the world or God's greatest sin to be at fault for something or simply not knowing how to do something. Everyone acts in a manner in which they portrayed that they came out of the womb knowing everything about everything😂😂😂😂
you don't learn by being arrogant, not taught enough nowadays, if you have the ability to be shown and learn even when frustrated you'll do just fine in life
It’s rarely “let me help you” it’s more likely “Nancy, we don’t have all day; People have places to be, get the hell out of that cab and let me show you how it’s done”
He accepted the liability of anything going wrong in getting help. Men know when offered help and you need it. Accept it with gratitude. Be humbled when shown something new.
ya, I'm here outside, waiting for the dude and my truck to come back. He drove off and said he needed the big empty lot up ahead. It's been 5 hours. I hope he's ok.
People like that homeowner truly exist. I've been in a similar situation where I got a blown tire, and bystanders came to me to offer help. Bless them both.
The young guy broke the law. 1- allowing someone with no insurance to drive the truck. 2- not removing his tachograph card. He could have got points and a large fine, could easily have been fired and possibly even end up in prison.
My dad drove semis for over 35 years (then he retired) but he always saw younger generations struggling. He kindly lended his experience and aid with a kind heart. Never asked them or wanted from them anything except for them to watch and learn. To this day even though he is pushing 70 he’s still the person I trust driving.
My dad was OTR and used to help guys in this same way at truck stops before he passed. Overnight parking can be merciless. He'd give anyone in his way 5 tries, and then park it for them while they watched and learned
Excuse me are you saying that a dude is entitled because he was given an incorrect map and had a struggle? He literally didn’t do anything how was he being entitled? Some people, jesus
Bro thinks he's standing up for justice by making bosses look like final boss villains. Like shut your goofy ass up if ur gonna make up some childish comment
Yes .He knew the guy was living there . It was not just a random passer by who could have put him in trouble. And first of all : you know he is a DECENT , SERIOUS HUMAN just by looking at him. That's a real man . A real man for his family and the society , a man to rely on. God bless him in every way.
Yes, he did the right thing. I'm in the U.S. I've maneuvered/ parked at least 8 trucks for other drivers in the last 2 years. Fatigue after a 10 to 14 hour shift can be hard on the mind then to have to park in a tight space between 2 trucks. We should always look out for and help one another.
I don’t think that was the right thing to do. So many things could go wrong and it seems better for the actual driver/employee to be behind the wheel if something took place. I bet if the company owner saw him allowing a stranger to drive, he would be fired
@@broschetta4417the only way the company owner would see either scenarios is if the house owner shared the footage. So in this particular case if something went wrong with the house owner we’ll make sure the footage is in a time capsule
That's so awesome! Well done! I literally had to ask an older man at a mall to please help me back up my dads truck. The car behind me left no room to back out. I couldn't move forward much as there was a car parked in front of me.. This man was actually carrying a cup of water back to his vehicle as it was overheating. He told me to just give him 1 minute and he would help me. He nailed it, backing out and forward many times, inch by inch. I never could have done it without hitting the cars on either side of me. This awesome man told me his day was much better, having gotten to help someone 😊 He had something to give after all 😊 ❤😊
I wouldn't but I'd trust that it would take me 30 ft, and if it broke down, I could probably call my wife to help me cross the street safely....like fr, what on earth are you talking about? You're worried about it breaking down while backing? OK, then what?
@@mikemurphy5898 ... and when the brakes or power steering fails or one of the cars does something stupid and there is damage and the new driver is looking for someone to blame, who will it be? Never EVER drive another man's truck. And don't ridicule just because you don't understand what you're talking about.
@mikemurphy5898 Offer instruction and be his spotter, but never drive his truck. He is operating under someone else's authority, so you will be unauthorized and uninsured
legally, you’re right. if i were a trucker and let someone else drive my truck, even for 3 seconds, i’d be held professionally liable for anything wrong that could happen and vice versa if i was the savior and the brakes exploded the 3 seconds i was in the car. but the trucker looks like a defeated, humbled, and desperate kid and the savior looks like a dad that told him to trust him with full conviction. you’re very right about spotting him first though, he’d learn from it too.
@@sweetsunnyvibes well the truck driver should absolutely be shamed lmao For a start, he didn't plan his route properly, and on top of that, he doesn't even have the skill to make up for his planning incompetence. You can be incompetent in EITHER planning, or driving, but you can't be both, if the homeowner wasn't there, he would've been fucked, guy needs to practice some more in his spare time. Some blame also goes on his higher ups for not training him better or fucking up his route, and some goes on the poor training standards.
Fair play to the guy for helping . The world needs more people like him , most people would just take their phone out and record laughing their heads off
The world has many people like him, we don't see it because THE PEOPLE AREN'T TAKING THEIR PHONES OUT TO RECORD IT This regurgitated comment is overused and complete nonsense.
Guy came into one of our sites with a super b and got stuck in a tight lane once. Friend of mine and I were talking and drinking coffee and we noticed him struggling to get out, as his trailers were all over the place. Greg and I watched for a minute and realized he was In over his head, so him and I went over to see him and Greg jumped up on the steps and told him, "I want you to listen to exactly what I tell you. We are going to be here a while, but I will get you out." He never took over for the guy, he guided him and taught him a valuable lesson and some great skills on how to get out of a jam. I'm not saying what he did in the video was wrong, but it's usually better to teach a man to fish.
The issue here would be if the guy didn't listen well at first they are effecting more people. If they were in a lot and the guy was trying to back in or something teach them then. On the road time is money for a lot more people than the driver.
I think his boss would want to send this guy an application! I worked in air cargo for almost 25 years, and I very much appreciate the hard work truck drivers do. I have seen some drivers who are so good at backing into places, some might think they have special powers! To watch a driver back in a trailer where they can't pull up very far and must turn from 90° angle, and park between 2 trucks is amazing. Mind you, when I worked in air cargo, there were no cameras, only mirrors!
Actually thats not recommended. You will fail your CDL if you dont tell your instructor to get out of the truck and give you signals for backing up. It is compulsory by law in most countries that someone is standing and watching out for the truck driver when backing up (if there is a second driver)
Kudos to both of these guys. The driver for excepting the help. And the homeowner for extending his help. It's how it should be anywhere with anytime. We are all on this great rock called earth and it's what we are here for. To help each other in times of struggle. It doesn't cost anything but could be priceless to the one that receives the helping hand. Bring humble enough to except that help is the key to it all. Because you'll be humble enough to give a helping hand when you see the need to be filled. In the words of the great Jacky Moon " everybody, love everybody". (Yes, it's from that. 😅)
We must all be perfect. Our Messiah Yahushua himself taught in the Bible, in the gospel of Matthew one of our Father's commands, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48) You can be perfect, sin free and whole.
Had the same with my car in a very small parking space in a big garange and someone parked very close to me when I had my licence for just two weeks. A nice man helped me out and his wife comforting me that this could happen to anyone, will never forget these nice people :)
Perfect from both sides! If the driver was a rookie, that is nothing to blame him. Everybody needs to learn and earn experience. The home owner is just a boss for helping the driver with this situation! Fantastic!
Perfect? Mate i think the bare minimum for being able to drive a truck is being able to reverse properly, he shouldnt be on the road ffs, back to the test center
If there weren't car drivers that do something like this, I would say you're wrong, but seriously, some have it and some don't, one can't do much about that, apart from not driving at all
@@jackcollis7258 he could reverse as the video showed, but he made the turn too wide as he did not spin early enough and was nervous from the tight road he was going in; no blame on him as he made the right decision
That's what my dad used to do to me called me and late me parked on the difficult one just to make sure I was learning. He passed away 2 years ago I miss him every day specially when I see stuff like this Love your video
As a truck driver here, the home owner is a legend. But also advice to anyone learning to do this kind of reverse, get the right setup, and it will make life so much easier. Notice how the home owner took the truck over to the opposite side of the road and way furtuer forward it makes all the difference.
I’m a yard jockey, and this man maneuver is an expert skill and difficult to explain to newbies, just getting enough tilt to let the trailer do its thing while you keep your tractor facing steadily is key.
Yeah, he did. That guy is a legend for helping. It's actually pretty easy and quick to learn how to do it, but it's fairly difficult the first few times you pull a trailer. When I was still learning, I ran into a similar situation, trying to back a wide trailer into an entrance with only 10 inches of clearance on both sides and in a tiny parking lot. Cars all around that I couldnt afford to hit and property I didn't want to mess up. An older guy noticed I was struggling and, in the most polite way possible, offered to help me out. He got it within seconds and got to watch him do it from a distance to see how he was doing it. It's really just a small thing, but anyone that does it has been there, so it's really nice to see people help.
I had several hours on ETS2, and in 2022 I worked at a truck manufacturing plant. One day, we needed to move several imperfect units to be repaired, and most of the guys moving the trucks were seniors. That was my first month working there, so I got into the truck, after like 5 years not driving a manual and never having driven a truck before. Stalled the truck at first, but I perfectly navigated through a relatively small gate thanks to my ETS2 experience. Edit: In 2019, my family traveled to the USA, and it is usually my mom sitting in front during car rides, while my dad drives. I asked my mom to sit at the second row and allow me to be the navigator.. because I learned so much about road signs in ETS2, and I was way better than my mom with navigation. I also had to constantly remind my dad to drive on the right side of the road (my country drive on the left side).
@@dalekcatI 100% learned to drive via Euro Truck Sim. Never took a driving lesson and far better at following distance and watching the road than most other drivers I know
I'll add, across the two games, 2000 hours with a wheel and full manual. Learned to drive in video games years before I had a license. My first time in a manual transmission car, took but 5 minutes to learn to drive it. Right now I do road service and maintenance on semi trucks. Sometimes drivers drop their trucks off and *someone* has to move them. Sometimes a road service is at a truck terminal with keys left in the vehicles. *Sometimes* that someone is me. First time driving an OTR truck, it was manual. Pulled it in with no problem. The hardest part was adjusting from a car clutch to a truck clutch. Drastically different feel.
Having thousands of hours in truck sims (since Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel) it made getting actual driving license so easy. My teacher even asked me if I genuinely never driven before. Had to work out the manual gearbox a bit but it was smooth sailing
If that is indeed The Netherlands as I suspect by the yellow licence plates, scenery and road layout. I don't think you can afford a house like that on a trucker salary.
Helping someone with kindness and support is always worth celebrating. If I were that driver, working for my company, I would have definitely been fired.
Dude that was heroic. I as an American truck driver I have helped a French Canadian lady who was having difficulty docking into a door. She was so happy and grateful after i easily backed her truck clean into the door with no difficulty. I couldn't find the same thing that driver did when helping that inexperienced truck driver
When I was in high school, I worked for an assembly automation distributor and they had a box truck, not the 18 wheeler but the shorter kind that's all attached.Anyway, they always thought it was hilarious to ask me to back the truck to the dock and watch me bounce it off the building 30-50x. I never did get it down either. I can parallel park like some kind of stunt driver, but the box truck, I could never get both straight and lined up to the doorway simultaneously
@@mikemurphy5898 I'm about ready to shoot myself trying to effing back up tandems. I understand the principle, but the mfer jackknifes in a second and it is making me _so upset fujkugdsxbkkohfsss-_
My dad would be able to help like this. He was a lorry driver for over 10 years and then was a mechanic for 35. He's gotten a lot of vehicles out of very right spots. I've trusted someone to help get me out of an awful spot before. Sometimes you just gotta take that leap.

People like that homeowner truly exist. I've been in a similar situation where I got a blown tire, and bystanders came to me to offer help. Bless them both.
Imagine the owner just takes off with the truck 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Hey, need me to help you get out?"
"Sure. Thanks!"
**gets in the truck and drives away**

Bu he knows where he lives.. he can just take over his house and say "it's mine now" 😂
But It was a dead end.

"When he was needed most, he returned."
Letting someone that is confident enough to genuinely offer help is valid , those trucks are much trickyer than people think
A hero teaching a young apprentice to become one... This clip shows how awesome people can be to help those in need.
I agree.
Don't tell...
The guy didn't teach him anything, he watched from outside whilst he did it for him.
Well said
The guy who helped totally did the right thing - if you can, you should 💯
They work for the same company.
Just don’t tell the boss.
❤❤❤
The young guy broke the law.
1- allowing someone with no insurance to drive the truck.
2- not removing his tachograph card.
He could have got points and a large fine, could easily have been fired and possibly even end up in prison.
"If you can, you should" man I'm going to carry this message for my whole life, thank you
Kudos to that helper, we all need people like him
My dad drove semis for over 35 years (then he retired) but he always saw younger generations struggling. He kindly lended his experience and aid with a kind heart. Never asked them or wanted from them anything except for them to watch and learn. To this day even though he is pushing 70 he’s still the person I trust driving.
I bet at some point someone else helped him
@@bhonest-gb5zg and he even may doest know it, karma men
I'm happy you love your dad. I lost mine.
My dad was OTR and used to help guys in this same way at truck stops before he passed. Overnight parking can be merciless. He'd give anyone in his way 5 tries, and then park it for them while they watched and learned
Best wishes to your dad! 👍
Doing the right thing, Doing the smart thing, and making your boss happy are very much different.
Stop blaming bosses for the entitled expectations of consumers
Excuse me are you saying that a dude is entitled because he was given an incorrect map and had a struggle? He literally didn’t do anything how was he being entitled? Some people, jesus
It's against the policy what would happen if the man could drive.so the boss would be mad but also grateful that the truck is intact.
Pretty sure that the owner of the company was happy about the truck being in one piece.
Bro thinks he's standing up for justice by making bosses look like final boss villains. Like shut your goofy ass up if ur gonna make up some childish comment
Yes .He knew the guy was living there .
It was not just a random passer by who could have put him in trouble.
And first of all : you know he is a DECENT , SERIOUS HUMAN just by looking at him.
That's a real man . A real man for his family and the society , a man to rely on. God bless him in every way.
Plot twist: homeowner put up that HGV no entry sign
Yes, he did the right thing. I'm in the U.S. I've maneuvered/ parked at least 8 trucks for other drivers in the last 2 years. Fatigue after a 10 to 14 hour shift can be hard on the mind then to have to park in a tight space between 2 trucks. We should always look out for and help one another.
you are a kind hearted man not just for your help but also for mentioning the fatigue and not making it something negative against them❤🙏🏻
I don’t think that was the right thing to do. So many things could go wrong and it seems better for the actual driver/employee to be behind the wheel if something took place. I bet if the company owner saw him allowing a stranger to drive, he would be fired
I’ll take things that don’t happen for 1 million Alex
Fatigue of the mind is real.
@@broschetta4417the only way the company owner would see either scenarios is if the house owner shared the footage. So in this particular case if something went wrong with the house owner we’ll make sure the footage is in a time capsule

Wow, beautiful backing, awesome guy that did this for him
This is a beautiful case of one Human being helping another human being!
That's so awesome! Well done!
I literally had to ask an older man at a mall to please help me back up my dads truck. The car behind me left no room to back out. I couldn't move forward much as there was a car parked in front of me.. This man was actually carrying a cup of water back to his vehicle as it was overheating. He told me to just give him 1 minute and he would help me. He nailed it, backing out and forward many times, inch by inch. I never could have done it without hitting the cars on either side of me. This awesome man told me his day was much better, having gotten to help someone 😊 He had something to give after all 😊 ❤😊
That's wholesome
That's a nice ending 😊
Ur female aren't you
I had a similar experience once but i backed myself out. I nervous about it the entire time.
You’re lucky the guy was nice
Driver did good. Rules are great and all, but then there's LIFE.
Life trumps rules every time, guaranteed 😊

Ah yes the saying. One who breaks the rules are scum. But the one who abandons a friend is worse than scum.
And that is literally true today. Friggin' criminal.

Never EVER drive another man's truck. If he can't operate it, why would you think he can inspect and maintain it?
I wouldn't but I'd trust that it would take me 30 ft, and if it broke down, I could probably call my wife to help me cross the street safely....like fr, what on earth are you talking about? You're worried about it breaking down while backing? OK, then what?
@@mikemurphy5898 ... and when the brakes or power steering fails or one of the cars does something stupid and there is damage and the new driver is looking for someone to blame, who will it be?
Never EVER drive another man's truck. And don't ridicule just because you don't understand what you're talking about.
@mikemurphy5898
Offer instruction and be his spotter, but never drive his truck. He is operating under someone else's authority, so you will be unauthorized and uninsured
Проверяет и обслуживает грузовик сам водитель? Хе, я думал такое возможно только в мире дикого капитализма. 😅
legally, you’re right. if i were a trucker and let someone else drive my truck, even for 3 seconds, i’d be held professionally liable for anything wrong that could happen and vice versa if i was the savior and the brakes exploded the 3 seconds i was in the car. but the trucker looks like a defeated, humbled, and desperate kid and the savior looks like a dad that told him to trust him with full conviction.
you’re very right about spotting him first though, he’d learn from it too.
So fkn nice. THIS is how we should be and think kind, positive and helpful.
The right house to get stuck in front of that day
Something tells me that's not the first truck driver the guy helped 😅. That paved area he backed upbon may have been paved for this very reason.
Definitely @@jcruise876
Especially considering he can't drive for shit
* wrong, the reason people don't like asking for help is because the help can't wait to show people you asked then
@@sweetsunnyvibes well the truck driver should absolutely be shamed lmao
For a start, he didn't plan his route properly, and on top of that, he doesn't even have the skill to make up for his planning incompetence.
You can be incompetent in EITHER planning, or driving, but you can't be both, if the homeowner wasn't there, he would've been fucked, guy needs to practice some more in his spare time.
Some blame also goes on his higher ups for not training him better or fucking up his route, and some goes on the poor training standards.
Fair play to the guy for helping . The world needs more people like him , most people would just take their phone out and record laughing their heads off
Not “most people” can or know how to backing or even drive a truck 🤦
He had that part covered on the camera were watching the guy did good 😂
I mean, most people can't drive a rig, so yeah.
He didn't want his to get hit.
The world has many people like him, we don't see it because THE PEOPLE AREN'T TAKING THEIR PHONES OUT TO RECORD IT
This regurgitated comment is overused and complete nonsense.
The young driver is a legend for allowing help to come..
Fuck me that back up gave me goosebumps, absolute professional at work, love to see it.

Guy came into one of our sites with a super b and got stuck in a tight lane once. Friend of mine and I were talking and drinking coffee and we noticed him struggling to get out, as his trailers were all over the place.
Greg and I watched for a minute and realized he was In over his head, so him and I went over to see him and Greg jumped up on the steps and told him, "I want you to listen to exactly what I tell you. We are going to be here a while, but I will get you out." He never took over for the guy, he guided him and taught him a valuable lesson and some great skills on how to get out of a jam.
I'm not saying what he did in the video was wrong, but it's usually better to teach a man to fish.
Help him by guiding him, teach a man to fish is better. Your not always going to be there. ❤
The issue here would be if the guy didn't listen well at first they are effecting more people. If they were in a lot and the guy was trying to back in or something teach them then. On the road time is money for a lot more people than the driver.
This
Maybe this truck driver already knows how to fish 🤷🏻♂️
I think it's his driving skills he needs to work on 🙄
@davidk7859 Aka his fishing skills
I think his boss would want to send this guy an application! I worked in air cargo for almost 25 years, and I very much appreciate the hard work truck drivers do. I have seen some drivers who are so good at backing into places, some might think they have special powers! To watch a driver back in a trailer where they can't pull up very far and must turn from 90° angle, and park between 2 trucks is amazing. Mind you, when I worked in air cargo, there were no cameras, only mirrors!
As someone who plays euro truck simulator, the first guy is 100% me lmao
I agree to let someone help him.This is way better than cause an accident!Any help is GOOD!
Not everyone who says they’re going to help does, sometimes they make the situation worse.
Never try, never know 😉
Unless you cant drive a truck and crash it 😂 but yeah if you can help you should !
If i crash my truck insurance covers it. If you crash my truck i need a new job.
He should have sat in with him but great job any way
Actually thats not recommended. You will fail your CDL if you dont tell your instructor to get out of the truck and give you signals for backing up. It is compulsory by law in most countries that someone is standing and watching out for the truck driver when backing up (if there is a second driver)
GPS also means getting people stuck.
Have to look ahead and definitely have trucker apps.
Nowadays with Google maps, street view can sometimes help
@@Max-ry4gl letting some random guy in your truck is risking him to steal it. Sitting in with him reduces that possibility.
@@kugelblitz1557ok ya maybe but he was literally across the street from the dudes house lol
@@Max-ry4gl yes but he's not is he its a random guy hes let drive so I'd be sitting in with him.
That homeowner is a beast behind that wheel. Perfection!!!
Kudos to both of these guys.
The driver for excepting the help. And the homeowner for extending his help.
It's how it should be anywhere with anytime.
We are all on this great rock called earth and it's what we are here for. To help each other in times of struggle.
It doesn't cost anything but could be priceless to the one that receives the helping hand.
Bring humble enough to except that help is the key to it all.
Because you'll be humble enough to give a helping hand when you see the need to be filled.
In the words of the great Jacky Moon " everybody, love everybody".

Guy simply helped another guy. Awesome 👍🏻
Everyone has moments like this in life.
Nobody knows everything. Nobody's perfect.
We must all be perfect. Our Messiah Yahushua himself taught in the Bible, in the gospel of Matthew one of our Father's commands, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)
You can be perfect, sin free and whole.

Had the same with my car in a very small parking space in a big garange and someone parked very close to me when I had my licence for just two weeks. A nice man helped me out and his wife comforting me that this could happen to anyone, will never forget these nice people :)
He was probably helping drivers for the past 20 years daily
Perfect from both sides! If the driver was a rookie, that is nothing to blame him. Everybody needs to learn and earn experience. The home owner is just a boss for helping the driver with this situation! Fantastic!
Perfect? Mate i think the bare minimum for being able to drive a truck is being able to reverse properly, he shouldnt be on the road ffs, back to the test center
If there weren't car drivers that do something like this, I would say you're wrong, but seriously, some have it and some don't, one can't do much about that, apart from not driving at all
@@jackcollis7258 he could reverse as the video showed, but he made the turn too wide as he did not spin early enough and was nervous from the tight road he was going in; no blame on him as he made the right decision
@@jackcollis7258Error. Experience is a thing my friend.

Yeah, maybe have an updated HGV sat nav with him would help.
But actually nice to see a fellow driver helping another out! 😊👍
Fair play by both. It's good on the driver to accept the help when it was offered, and good on the guy who helped
❤❤❤thanks for the man who helped.
Big ups to the Driver showing the young driver how its done❤
Lesson learned ✔️👍
Imagine the homeowner now gets hired to work 😂😂
No shit eh? Haha
Perfect All the way around... Great team work...WE ALL NEED HELP FROM TIME TO TIME...👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
That's what my dad used to do to me called me and late me parked on the difficult one just to make sure I was learning. He passed away 2 years ago I miss him every day specially when I see stuff like this
Love your video
We all have to learn and sometimes it’s on the job.
They say the teacher will appear when you are ready. Well done for accepting the help.
That was very sweet of him ❤
Every one of us needs a lil help every now & then!
What a legend guy he probably made that turn loads of times bro was like hold my beer i got this 😂
As a truck driver here, the home owner is a legend. But also advice to anyone learning to do this kind of reverse, get the right setup, and it will make life so much easier. Notice how the home owner took the truck over to the opposite side of the road and way furtuer forward it makes all the difference.
Ok it amases me how humans can be human little bit of the time but when they do , its just beautifull
I’m a yard jockey, and this man maneuver is an expert skill and difficult to explain to newbies, just getting enough tilt to let the trailer do its thing while you keep your tractor facing steadily is key.
Fuck’s yeah it is. he aced it on the first go. No idea where the wheels were on the slide or the kingpin. Amazing
No idea what you just said but sure, it sounds right to me! 😂
Yeah, he did. That guy is a legend for helping. It's actually pretty easy and quick to learn how to do it, but it's fairly difficult the first few times you pull a trailer. When I was still learning, I ran into a similar situation, trying to back a wide trailer into an entrance with only 10 inches of clearance on both sides and in a tiny parking lot. Cars all around that I couldnt afford to hit and property I didn't want to mess up. An older guy noticed I was struggling and, in the most polite way possible, offered to help me out. He got it within seconds and got to watch him do it from a distance to see how he was doing it. It's really just a small thing, but anyone that does it has been there, so it's really nice to see people help.
man has been waiting his whole life for this
"If I drive off with the truck, you can take my house and my wife" 😉
I'd have to check out the wife first. It could be a set up
I had several hours on ETS2, and in 2022 I worked at a truck manufacturing plant. One day, we needed to move several imperfect units to be repaired, and most of the guys moving the trucks were seniors.
That was my first month working there, so I got into the truck, after like 5 years not driving a manual and never having driven a truck before. Stalled the truck at first, but I perfectly navigated through a relatively small gate thanks to my ETS2 experience.
Edit:
In 2019, my family traveled to the USA, and it is usually my mom sitting in front during car rides, while my dad drives. I asked my mom to sit at the second row and allow me to be the navigator.. because I learned so much about road signs in ETS2, and I was way better than my mom with navigation. I also had to constantly remind my dad to drive on the right side of the road (my country drive on the left side).
If that's a true story then I'm off to play some truck sims, I think I have both American and Euro. One of those ehhh maybe it's fun buys
@@dalekcatI 100% learned to drive via Euro Truck Sim. Never took a driving lesson and far better at following distance and watching the road than most other drivers I know
I'll add, across the two games, 2000 hours with a wheel and full manual. Learned to drive in video games years before I had a license. My first time in a manual transmission car, took but 5 minutes to learn to drive it.
Right now I do road service and maintenance on semi trucks. Sometimes drivers drop their trucks off and *someone* has to move them. Sometimes a road service is at a truck terminal with keys left in the vehicles. *Sometimes* that someone is me. First time driving an OTR truck, it was manual. Pulled it in with no problem. The hardest part was adjusting from a car clutch to a truck clutch. Drastically different feel.
Having thousands of hours in truck sims (since Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel) it made getting actual driving license so easy. My teacher even asked me if I genuinely never driven before. Had to work out the manual gearbox a bit but it was smooth sailing
I had many hours on GTA4 and still couldn't do it 😮
That was awesome. Made me laughed out loud in the end.

Boss: You're Fired! You however, you're hired! 😂
If that is indeed The Netherlands as I suspect by the yellow licence plates, scenery and road layout.
I don't think you can afford a house like that on a trucker salary.
Helping someone with kindness and support is always worth celebrating. If I were that driver, working for my company, I would have definitely been fired.
That guy had been expecting for that moment his whole life.
Home owner is an angel in time of need.
Being stupid is not a shame, staying stupid is a shame and stupidity. Respect to the truck driver.👍
A reminder that euro truck simulator is on sale now so you can practice in case you see this situation or something

This man doesn't have a HGV license! 😂😂
Dude that was heroic. I as an American truck driver I have helped a French Canadian lady who was having difficulty docking into a door. She was so happy and grateful after i easily backed her truck clean into the door with no difficulty. I couldn't find the same thing that driver did when helping that inexperienced truck driver
When I was in high school, I worked for an assembly automation distributor and they had a box truck, not the 18 wheeler but the shorter kind that's all attached.Anyway, they always thought it was hilarious to ask me to back the truck to the dock and watch me bounce it off the building 30-50x. I never did get it down either. I can parallel park like some kind of stunt driver, but the box truck, I could never get both straight and lined up to the doorway simultaneously
