Lol I've done that with parallel parking and someone's 20ft trailer, comes in hand would love to drive a big truck but too much work just to get certified for something I wouldn't do lol
Meh it's shit. That's such a small truck and trailer. They have better turning angles than American trucks. I'd be impressed if it was a bigger truck. This is a joke.
If you actually are a truckdriver - This is one of the worst places you can be in. But if you know what you are doing, reversing isnt really that hard. Its just more slow when theres people around, that dont know it, because you dont want to hit them.
I think the homeowner searched where there was such a sign, built his house there, also the reversal platform and then hacked gps api server to direct some ammount of trucks down this very road.
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.

Current driver with 35 years on the road in North America (mainly the US). Just last week I had a young (3-month rookie) struggling to blind-side the slot to my left. Call it self-preservation or expedience if you must but I offered (he accepted) to complete the maneuver that he was beginning to believe was not possible. Drivers get tired after a long day. New drivers succumb to self-doubt quickly and ultimately defeat themselves. A little help here and there will motivate them to step up their game. Sidenote: there was a huge language issue causing miscommunication while I was trying to guide him from the ground, the reason I offered to do it for him rather than have him perform the maneuver himself.
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.
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.
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”
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.
He noticed the required place to reverse by seeing from afar, then determined the exact places of his stop to return back and went to apply it on the ground! ... He is a man of very intelligent recognition and visually smart
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 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
Been there with an articulated coach bus. Got stuck and to my luck an oldtimer noticed. He just told me what to do. I was so happy I got the help. Made me a better coach driver.
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 😊 ❤😊
@@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.
Of course he should have let him you learn by experience , he watched an experienced man do it and now at least he has the blueprint it would be much easier next time , kudos to the dude for taking time out to help this guy .
The driver was most likely relieved that the homeowner was even there in the first place to help him!!!! There’s no telling HOW long the driver would have been shimmying up and down and back and forth again on the road!!!! THIS is how we need to start being to our fellow passerby’s! HELPFUL!
Zastanów się nad tym jeszcze raz. Skoro facet nie potrafi cofać ciężarówką to nawet nie powinien posiadać prawa jazdy... Co to za kierowca jeśli przy każdym cofaniu będzie potrzebował pomocy obcych ludzi? 😅
@@norbertjaworowski6314Prawdopodobnie on nie miał prawa jazdy a ciężarówkę ukradł na parkingu, widząc że ktoś jej nie zamknął. Dopiero po drodze zastanawiając się do jakiej dziupli pojechać aby opróżnić ją z towaru.
@@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? Prawdopodobnie to była jakaś taka podobna sytuacja gdzie gość skorzystał z okazji widząc ciężarówka bez kierowcy z odpalonym silnikiem. Mnóstwo osób tak robi nie spodziewając się że ktoś wykorzysta to. Dlatego w Stanach przez telewizję są transmitowane pościgi skradzionych pojazdów między innymi zdarzają się też tiry. Policja gania się nadgodzina jest kimś kto jedzie ciężarówką albo samochodem terenowym mimo przestrzelonej opony, ucieka spalając gumy do zera. Właściwie to odpadają a potem idą iskry od felgi. Bardzo że błotnik się zapala i ostatecznie samochód. Jestem taki przestępca zatrzymuje się dopiero i ucieka pieszo. Czasem przypomina to polowanie na jakieś zwierzę, któremu się specjalnie folguje po to by móc za nim gonić dla zabawy. W mniejszych przypadków to kradzież czołgu z jednostki wojskowej którym ktoś uciekał po autostradzie, zawiesił się na betonowej przegrodzie między kierunkami. Myślę że gdyby producentom samochodów zależało na tym aby nie były one kradzione zamki i stacyjki na linie papilarne. Tymczasem zrobili radiowe kluczyki które łatwo oszukać przesyłając zdalnie sygnał i złodzieje kupują gotowe urządzenia do śledzenia najnowszych samochodów poprzez skopiowanie sygnału kluczyka z domu lub biura kierowcy. Także z punktu widzenia komputera samochodu był on otwarty i odpalony normalnym kluczykiem ( który ciągle leżał u kogoś na biurku lub w kieszeni domu wieje tylko wzmocnienie jego sygnał i przesłali do samochodu zaparkowanego np kilkadziesiąt metrów dalej). Dla Producentów samochodów prawdopodobnie liczy się ruch w interesie i dzięki temu że złodzieje kradną i rozbierają samochody na części (lub kradną i rozbijają) jest zapotrzebowanie na kupowanie nowych.
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.
As a trucker with years experience & gifted in backing skills, yes, they both did the right thing & well done Mr resident for saving the other truckers bacon, frustration & infuriation, plus the other motorists! Edit; I must add that the worldwide shortage of experienced semi drivers is resulting in these under qualified truck drivers who should know good backing skills to get the job, but standards are being cut to fill the shortage, as many still can't back a tractor & trailer unit competently! The lost time & wear & tear on equipment is another loss!
I don't know what company you work for but any company that I have ever worked for that driver would have been fired the moment his boss learned that he let someone else drive his truck.
@@Donkeyearsa Correct! As a driver, I'd never allow another to drive my ride, as because of those rules my job would instantly be lost too! The only exception is this situation, where the employee was incompetent, it's all on video to show & the offer would have to be accompanied by presentation of their appropriate license & especially permission from the employee's employer! Edit, Also by company policy for every employer I've worked for, no passenger is allowed unless they've been authorized by management, as instant dismissal is those due & rightful consequences!
@@docsgearheadgaming2503 Yikes! I don't recall the exact price, but it's very expensive here in New Zealand too! Fortunately I got my class 5 license way back before the year 2000 when it was cheap.
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.
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)
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.
Меня тоже однажды один водитель попросил загнать его трак в склад в который он долго не мог попасть из за узких ворот. Я его загнал. А когда вышел из машины, то сотрудники склада сказали тому водителю - Видишь ! - Вот Так ты должен к нам всегда заезжать 😊
Never be ashamed to ask for help,that driver may have been on the road for many hours and his concentration would have been enough to drive straight, he's exhausted, just human , respect to both drivers
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
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.
Blind siding can be awkward to the inexperienced, even the experienced drivers will always opt for the good side. The moment you get in a pickle, you can lose your head and get frustrated/panic. So kudos to the kind helper!
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.
Ohhhh I pray for my day to show off my trucker skills. I haul heavy machinery, in downtown LA requires me to blindside reverse on 2 lane streets all the time. Props for the neighborhood for giving a helping hand. Us truckers find ourselves in tricky situations all the time
I had to do that once in Denver. One of the facilities I went to there, had literally only the very actively traveled road with basically non-stop traffic, as the only backing area to get into this singular awkwardly placed loading bay. Had to blindside it too. It was definitely a bit nerve-racking at the time, especially since I was still a new driver back then. Granted, I did learn really quick and got good enough that I was even trusted to go OTR solo straight out of training, though even with all I managed to learn in that short time period, that was still something I never expected to encounter... Nowhere in my training, was there anything about what to do if you have to stop traffic to back into a loading dock, because there's literally no other place to back up from. Glad that guy was able to help the driver in the video. After all the weird and tricky situations I've been in when I was still driving big rigs, I can understand the anxiety some situations can bring. Now I understand why so many truck drivers often end up becoming smokers. As much as I love driving, holy hell can things get real stressful, real quick sometimes...
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.
as a truck driver, i have done this as well, i had to back around a tight cornor and just couldnt make it, i had only been driving for a week so i asked an old man in a other truck that was resting near by if he could help me, and he did with a smile and made it look so easy and i told him i didnt think i would ever be able to do that as easy as him, but he said once i had been driving a long hauler for 20+ years i would be able to do the same., Truckers really look after one and other, dont matter what country they are from. it is truly a lifestyle where other truckers are your friends and they will help you in need if they can
I was on my window watching a young driver struggling to reverse a truck which came to our neighbourhood and I went out only to find he was a turnman, the driver had been left behind having some lunch, The turnman allowed me to help him and I drove the truck to where the driver was. They were all thankful. Thanks to the turn man for believing in me though am early retired truck driver
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.
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
I have driven 26ft straight trucks for a long time and never driven a tractor trailer or anything over 2 axles. Im glad to see that I would have not had this guys issue if I were driving that truck. I wouldn’t have thought the experience would transfer as much as it seems like it would.
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

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.

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! 👍
Props to the driver for having humility and props to the homeowner for helping
Home owner was concerned about the families Mini...Lol
Good sport thou, and yes the young driver, was no doubt grateful. Respect to both..
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 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
Been there with an articulated coach bus. Got stuck and to my luck an oldtimer noticed. He just told me what to do. I was so happy I got the help. Made me a better coach driver.
No 1 hurt no arguments no bullshit no stress every1 learns n respect it every1 wins well done

"Oh cool, thanks"

@@zorrodelaspraderas3840 where? 🤭
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
Wow all those hours of gaming finally paid off 😂lol
Watching this with the sound off, is such a touching act of kindness.
That was BAD ASS AND IN ONE SHOT. GREAT JOB HOMEOWNER ON HELPING THIS TRUCKER.
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.
Dude was quick to let him drive probably showed him his CDL or steam game history 💀
This is in Europe, we don't use a CDL.

Driver did good. Rules are great and all, but then there's LIFE.

Zastanów się nad tym jeszcze raz. Skoro facet nie potrafi cofać ciężarówką to nawet nie powinien posiadać prawa jazdy...
Co to za kierowca jeśli przy każdym cofaniu będzie potrzebował pomocy obcych ludzi? 😅
*passersby and no ' for s-plural
@@norbertjaworowski6314Prawdopodobnie on nie miał prawa jazdy a ciężarówkę ukradł na parkingu, widząc że ktoś jej nie zamknął. Dopiero po drodze zastanawiając się do jakiej dziupli pojechać aby opróżnić ją z towaru.
@@AErKart to chyba najbardziej prawdopodobny scenariusz 😃
@@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?
Prawdopodobnie to była jakaś taka podobna sytuacja gdzie gość skorzystał z okazji widząc ciężarówka bez kierowcy z odpalonym silnikiem. Mnóstwo osób tak robi nie spodziewając się że ktoś wykorzysta to. Dlatego w Stanach przez telewizję są transmitowane pościgi skradzionych pojazdów między innymi zdarzają się też tiry. Policja gania się nadgodzina jest kimś kto jedzie ciężarówką albo samochodem terenowym mimo przestrzelonej opony, ucieka spalając gumy do zera. Właściwie to odpadają a potem idą iskry od felgi. Bardzo że błotnik się zapala i ostatecznie samochód. Jestem taki przestępca zatrzymuje się dopiero i ucieka pieszo.
Czasem przypomina to polowanie na jakieś zwierzę, któremu się specjalnie folguje po to by móc za nim gonić dla zabawy.
W mniejszych przypadków to kradzież czołgu z jednostki wojskowej którym ktoś uciekał po autostradzie, zawiesił się na betonowej przegrodzie między kierunkami.
Myślę że gdyby producentom samochodów zależało na tym aby nie były one kradzione zamki i stacyjki na linie papilarne. Tymczasem zrobili radiowe kluczyki które łatwo oszukać przesyłając zdalnie sygnał i złodzieje kupują gotowe urządzenia do śledzenia najnowszych samochodów poprzez skopiowanie sygnału kluczyka z domu lub biura kierowcy. Także z punktu widzenia komputera samochodu był on otwarty i odpalony normalnym kluczykiem ( który ciągle leżał u kogoś na biurku lub w kieszeni domu wieje tylko wzmocnienie jego sygnał i przesłali do samochodu zaparkowanego np kilkadziesiąt metrów dalej).
Dla Producentów samochodów prawdopodobnie liczy się ruch w interesie i dzięki temu że złodzieje kradną i rozbierają samochody na części (lub kradną i rozbijają) jest zapotrzebowanie na kupowanie nowych.
He would be fired 😢 they don’t care
Mad respect to that guy for helping him out 🙏🏿
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.
As a trucker with years experience & gifted in backing skills, yes, they both did the right thing & well done Mr resident for saving the other truckers bacon, frustration & infuriation, plus the other motorists!
Edit; I must add that the worldwide shortage of experienced semi drivers is resulting in these under qualified truck drivers who should know good backing skills to get the job, but standards are being cut to fill the shortage, as many still can't back a tractor & trailer unit competently! The lost time & wear & tear on equipment is another loss!
I don't know what company you work for but any company that I have ever worked for that driver would have been fired the moment his boss learned that he let someone else drive his truck.
15000 dollars to get a class one here in Canada. It’s no wonder there’s a shortage of drivers
@@Donkeyearsa Correct! As a driver, I'd never allow another to drive my ride, as because of those rules my job would instantly be lost too! The only exception is this situation, where the employee was incompetent, it's all on video to show & the offer would have to be accompanied by presentation of their appropriate license & especially permission from the employee's employer!
Edit, Also by company policy for every employer I've worked for, no passenger is allowed unless they've been authorized by management, as instant dismissal is those due & rightful consequences!
@@docsgearheadgaming2503 Yikes! I don't recall the exact price, but it's very expensive here in New Zealand too! Fortunately I got my class 5 license way back before the year 2000 when it was cheap.
@@docsgearheadgaming2503 Really, 15000 for a class 1? I got mine in BC back in 2004 for something like $3000. What has changed?
I can see only A man helped another man❤😊
That homeowner is a beast behind that wheel. Perfection!!!
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 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.
there's no age for Teaching n no age for Learning 😊
Big W for the internet ! Liking these positive videos where people help eachother.
Oh yeah , thats a awesome thing ❤❤❤❤❤🇩🇪
He was probably helping drivers for the past 20 years daily
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.
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.
Меня тоже однажды один водитель попросил загнать его трак в склад в который он долго не мог попасть из за узких ворот. Я его загнал. А когда вышел из машины, то сотрудники склада сказали тому водителю - Видишь ! - Вот Так ты должен к нам всегда заезжать 😊
We need more people like this in the world
Guy simply helped another guy. Awesome 👍🏻
I love when people help other people. Its beautiful
I love the fact that the young man was humble enaugh to receive help from a stranger
Never be ashamed to ask for help,that driver may have been on the road for many hours and his concentration would have been enough to drive straight, he's exhausted, just human , respect to both drivers
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.
Had this happen when we were waiting for a truck. Driver couldn't make it in so one of our dock guys backed it in for him
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.
Speak for yourself
Blind siding can be awkward to the inexperienced, even the experienced drivers will always opt for the good side. The moment you get in a pickle, you can lose your head and get frustrated/panic. So kudos to the kind helper!
We all need help sometimes and we all need to help others sometimes. Glad to see it work out nicely.
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
That homeowner dude is awesome. Thanks dude for being a great man.
Dude wasn't a professional truck driver. But he was a professional video game Player. He must have had a realistic set up at home.
The boss would be very appreciative of the help. On time delivery is what's more important.
An operator willing to learn from others will always be the better operator.
Yeah, maybe have an updated HGV sat nav with him would help.
But actually nice to see a fellow driver helping another out! 😊👍
That's what happens when you struggle, Other drivers help you out. He did the right thing.
Yes he did, saved time and learned how to do it.
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! 😂
Perfect All the way around... Great team work...WE ALL NEED HELP FROM TIME TO TIME...👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Respect to both
The young driver will be able to do it himself with practice
I've helped others as I was once helped when I first started
Ohhhh I pray for my day to show off my trucker skills. I haul heavy machinery, in downtown LA requires me to blindside reverse on 2 lane streets all the time. Props for the neighborhood for giving a helping hand. Us truckers find ourselves in tricky situations all the time
I had to do that once in Denver. One of the facilities I went to there, had literally only the very actively traveled road with basically non-stop traffic, as the only backing area to get into this singular awkwardly placed loading bay. Had to blindside it too.
It was definitely a bit nerve-racking at the time, especially since I was still a new driver back then. Granted, I did learn really quick and got good enough that I was even trusted to go OTR solo straight out of training, though even with all I managed to learn in that short time period, that was still something I never expected to encounter... Nowhere in my training, was there anything about what to do if you have to stop traffic to back into a loading dock, because there's literally no other place to back up from.
Glad that guy was able to help the driver in the video. After all the weird and tricky situations I've been in when I was still driving big rigs, I can understand the anxiety some situations can bring.
Now I understand why so many truck drivers often end up becoming smokers. As much as I love driving, holy hell can things get real stressful, real quick sometimes...
That was very sweet of him ❤
Every one of us needs a lil help every now & then!
Imagine the homeowner now gets hired to work 😂😂
No shit eh? Haha
wowww!!! Just an amazing video !!! It is one of best I have ever seen, it is full of significances !!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤💐💐💐
the level of trust you have to have in a complete stranger to simply hop out of your rig and let them drive like that is crazy
For 8 seconds that poor bastard thought his lorry had just been nicked 😂😂
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.
humilty is a gift that gives back .. never be proud be humble and you will grow
as a truck driver, i have done this as well, i had to back around a tight cornor and just couldnt make it, i had only been driving for a week so i asked an old man in a other truck that was resting near by if he could help me, and he did with a smile and made it look so easy and i told him i didnt think i would ever be able to do that as easy as him, but he said once i had been driving a long hauler for 20+ years i would be able to do the same., Truckers really look after one and other, dont matter what country they are from. it is truly a lifestyle where other truckers are your friends and they will help you in need if they can
I was on my window watching a young driver struggling to reverse a truck which came to our neighbourhood and I went out only to find he was a turnman, the driver had been left behind having some lunch, The turnman allowed me to help him and I drove the truck to where the driver was. They were all thankful. Thanks to the turn man for believing in me though am early retired truck driver
"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
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.
Chacun a besoin d'aide à un moment donné. Bel exemple d'humilité et de compassion.
Definitely a professional truck driver
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 😮
Obviously the home owner is a good dude for helping the driver, but he's also great by first letting all of the backed up traffic go.
People helping people is a beautiful thing. ❤❤❤
I have driven 26ft straight trucks for a long time and never driven a tractor trailer or anything over 2 axles. Im glad to see that I would have not had this guys issue if I were driving that truck. I wouldn’t have thought the experience would transfer as much as it seems like it would.
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-_
What a legend guy he probably made that turn loads of times bro was like hold my beer i got this 😂
You are literally making THE RECORDING globally viral for the driver
Wow, beautiful backing, awesome guy that did this for him
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.
