That was VERY educational on the life of a trucker . Between the overpasses and the cars and agitation of the streets . Glad you made it the interstate. Thanks for the videos.
I've been watching your videos all day long. Been looking for one of you driving through a city. To see how you navigate through the city. I just started working for a gas station driving yard trucks and been interested in driving full time.over the road. Keep up the great job with the videos and driving.
Reset? Reset? Only reset I ever did was starting a new log every few days or so. Oh, and another reset were more bennies and beauties! Keep on Truckin' for real.
Never drove Semi, though driving 21' straight in Buffalo, NY in my younger years taught me life behind the wheel. I've seen truckers shove their weight around like a god given right, others with respect for all. You're doing fine. Besides, the man that says he's never been lost is likely lying. lol All best.
I've been there in St. Louis too. Very confusing there. I also love that you talk to Blue. I talk to my Freightliner all the time. Usually something like "ok Beauty, how are we gonna get out of this mess?" Lol!
Ashley you show me something good I know how to drive a big trucks I learn when I was a kid in Mexico city and I know some people never get you a chance on the streets I learned from crazy people but now I know we have to have just patiently and calm
You just gained at least one more follower in me! Simply because you posted the video and all of the real and raw for us to see. All roads are not paved with gold, still gotta run em! Great vid
They have no idea these trucks can't turn on a dime or stop people think semis are just like regular cars they need to teach more about semis in driver's ed.
Know it's way too late now, but if you drop and pick up there again, you can always take that 55 south ramp. Once you get on 55, just take the next exit. There is usually an overpass there that you can take and just get back on northbound. In this case, probably would have saved you ten minutes or so. Safe travels.
Hey there JBG !! I have been through there many of times and made the same mistake as well Brother... It drives me crazy ... I was just there ... The video was good we all get a little lost from time to time ... PEACE Brother .. Be Safe ...
If men never got lost, then they wouldn't have found the Grand Canyon, or anything else. lol Nothing wrong with being on the wrong road. I have done it many times. Keep 'er between the lines and stay safe. :)
across from that Church there used to be a big strip mall and they had like a side street going around the back of it .. it had those speed bumps like ever 20 ft.. I Used to have this big Dodge truck step side with a lift kit in it.. all my friends would get in back and ..well we would be a little intoxicated.. but I would drive real fast down that street and hit those bumps lol .. it was really funny .. guess you had to be there
Jony that happens time on time with me lost direction some time if I'm get me then I'm most thanken te next of ramp to get my bearings on the right track You do Good on road with blue birth nice truck buddy I'm yellows I'm in South Africa I'm loves your country so pretty This is way I'm look trucks videos of you and another 18 wheelers Thanks for your videos God bless you
I think they are afraid to back up.......they think they gunna run into the person behind them......How many miles did it take for you to get on the Interstate that was crazy with the low over passes......I use to love to see the looks on there faces when they see that big bumper and grill headed right at them......maybe they in shock and that's why they do not back up hahaha......
Living in ST Louis all my life i know better than to try to navigate Downtown. next time take 55 south to 270 south to 55 north or 55 south to 270 south which turns into 255 just past 55 take 255 across the mighty mississippi up to 64 and find your way from there.
Johnny, I wish I had a dollar for every out of rout mile that I got charged for, I could go on a nice vacation, Well maybe not that much but my wife sure did complain about the money I got taken out of my check, No GPS back then, just good old Mr. Atlas.
Not that much different than the US. Air is cleaner, the wilderness is much wilder, and it is a bit colder. Plus, metric system as opposed to the standard system. And, there's also the money and spelling on various words. For here, I stick to what I grew up with. But anything else, I kind of have to watch how I spell things. And, as far as I care, lots of Grey Market foreign imported cars because of a 15 year rule as opposed to a 25 year rule in the US.
+Phoenix Drake That's cool only a few minor details. I couldn't take the winters up there I a born and raised So Cal......I do have a friend in Winnipeg it gets brutal cold there.....

+R.M. James just gotta keep your cool
That's what you have to do. Made me nervous when you got to that 13 4 or what that last bridge you went under. You take care and keep it in the lines.
Good job trucker! I got turned around in Louiseville, KY one time and seem to stay lost in the big cities, never boring. Safe travels driver.
Think you done a great job. 35 years as a driver myself. I can say I have been there and done that.

This was one of your best JBG. Very entertaining.
+Michael Dorsey I agree1
Gotta love that automatic transmission!
Yes I do
No apologies,getting lost is easy,never boring
jbg video 640 I enjoy ..to me it just life as a truck driver in the city....keep your video coming. ...
Dont be embarassed about anything, JBG. You are showing us the reality of trucking. Keep it that way, brother!
Great video. Loved the negotiation with the VW.
Actually, that was interesting. You always seem to know where you're going. Finding your way out of St. Louis was fun. Do it again, some time.
That light you're talking about I think belongs to the city parking authority on that van in St Louis
They have no idea these trucks can't turn on a dime or stop people think semis are just like regular cars they need to teach more about semis in driver's ed.
very true
Don't feel bad blue, I got stuck in downtown New York! Very similar situation. Good job JBG
+Darrell Morse NYC... Yikes.

On one side of Busch Stadium we have home plate and then we also have second base third base and first base entrances
I used to live in St. Louis, it can get tricky downtown, good job navigating the low bridges and tight turns
That's ok JB. Anybody makes mistakes. I really enjoyed your video. Safe ride, always.
no one's perfect everyone's gets lost once in awhile lol
Great driver!

Tommy

I love that Tyson chikin. You'd have to be a rooster to get a better piece of chikin !!!
Easier to negotiate when your staring at the grill of a big truck lol
+Barbara Miller Exactly Miss Barbara Miller there was many a time I wish I had a camera to take a pic of there frightened faces....
Johnny be lost cracks me up everytime. note to self don't go downtown saint Louis
Johnny u are making a nervous wreck out of me!!!
Coo!
14:06.. time for me to get in the sleeper and zip it up
It's weird riding long with you I-70 toward where I live. if you would to Exit 45 east on I-70 ,that is my exit where I live
I think they are afraid to back up.......they think they gunna run into the person behind them......How many miles did it take for you to get on the Interstate that was crazy with the low over passes......I use to love to see the looks on there faces when they see that big bumper and grill headed right at them......maybe they in shock and that's why they do not back up hahaha......
wow
Should have turned left on the south side of broadway fords shop
Shoulda followed the dump truck. Would have put you on the ramp to the poplar street bridge. Whoops.
All in a day's work right.
lolyour Downtown ah.. The New Stadium.... GO CARDS!!!!
+Barbara Miller Cards are fading fast, Cubbies are surging. Cubs won again.
yeah I thnk the Cards are tired.. its ok.. they will come back
Living in ST Louis all my life i know better than to try to navigate Downtown. next time take 55 south to 270 south to 55 north or 55 south to 270 south which turns into 255 just past 55 take 255 across the mighty mississippi up to 64 and find your way from there.
+MLB1276 i hope i have learned my lesson..
@@24juan68 how are the streets in St.Louis some of them are smaller and narrow than the others
Not backing up is confusion among drivers not knowing your intensions.
everyone makes mistakes no need to say sorry.
Does WEL charge you for out of rout miles?
Johnny, I wish I had a dollar for every out of rout mile that I got charged for, I could go on a nice vacation, Well maybe not that much but my wife sure did complain about the money I got taken out of my check, No GPS back then, just good old Mr. Atlas.
Took money out of your pocket for honest mistake, damn! My company pays us by the mile no matter if we get lost or not, every mile counts!
South side stl
Been there done that... Lost that is.
Home City.. the world was graced in St. Louis .. in 1959 lmao .. yeah right
not pride , it boils down to selfiness , it's me first and the heck with you, alot of people don't respect truckers like they use too
that's nothing, you done good, lol
I live about 14 miles from St. Louis, I HATE DRIVING IN THAT CITY, It's not a pride thing about backing up, in St, Louis it's an A**Hole thing.
7:15, well well well, Porsche 997 Convertible.
