Most company trainings and truck driving schools will not prepare you for this type of problem. The only way to learn is "On the job training" meaning you learn on your own. Alex did not damage property or hurt anyone. This was a 100% successful mission.
My dear father in law used to drive Detroit to Chicago run in the 1980s. He wouldn’t stop at stop signs because hoodlums would jump on the back of the trailer and bust open the locks and boost the cargo. He’d go in the middle of the night to miss traffic. He worked hard, bless him. 😢
I’m genuinely curious why when you’re low on air you’ll pull both yellow and red knobs out. As soon as you push them back in to move you lose a good bit of your air supply. Just put the truck in neutral and use the throttle to idle up the truck. You don’t need to set the trailer brakes every single time. Theres nothing wrong with the truck, it’s you.
I bet he's hammering down the brake pedal instead of tapping it
@@HauntedOathYup you can hear it when the brakes release. Dude is standing on the pedal
For real, a waste of 20 psi just for getting air back to the trailer
Ya never set the trailer brake unless I’m sliding tandems or docking
He’s been told this in every video since the beginning. He refuses to learn.
Gotta stay off the brakes in these KW’s, bro… you’ll run them out of air in no time. Secondly, put your thumb over the red valve when setting the tractor brakes.. don’t ever set the trailer brakes unless you’re dropping it.
its funny the red knob says "not for parking" wish more drivers knew that. only set when droppin trailer
I have told this to him multiple times He needs run with someone way longer than he did These schools don’t teach them right
I honestly don't think he even reads the comments of his viewers
The transmission is ran off air. You are hitting the brakes too hard. while backing up just tap the brakes instead of pushing the brake pedal all the way down to the floor
He has continued with a lot of bad habits, he seems to be stuck in the "4-month rookie status/ habits" even though he has been driving for almost 2-years now.
@@scottbtraveling1444 maybe you get your own youtube channel then we can evaluate your bad habits.
@@liferx4343People who post on RUclips know what they are getting into.
@@liferx4343 you going to cry because someone correctly critiqued your buddy Alex?
I really feel like he’s lost the joy of trucking, it used to be enjoyable to watch him drive and cook and now he’s always upset and yelling, irritated and confused and mad and he doesn’t even cook lunch or dinner anymore either. Makes me so sad because that’s why I started watching him for.
Trucking will do that to you, that's why you have to have an exit strategy.
it's all about driving he is still a young driver even 3 or how many years he has been driving. He is not using stationary fulcrum points
I'm a truck driver of 20 years. I used to love it, I enjoyed the money, I enjoyed going to new places, and now I'm tired of it. Everything irritates the hell out of me, even minor things.
Cry
Maybe he's just in it for he RUclips income now. I haven't seen too many of his videos to see what's going on.
I’m amazed at how many ways you made this more difficult for yourself.
He does this most videos, he’s like a child tbh
I’ve been driving semi’s for 34 years, this was frustrating to watch 😳.
What should he have done???
@@wetsitfamily3 park the truck and go home.
Thank God he has a safety vest.
I really want to start a second career as a driver but when I see this or some of the Bonehead videos, it sure is discouraging.
He doesn't seem to grasp the concept of trailer movements. He doesn't look at a space and visually sees how to do something. He just panics and starts throwing the trailer everywhere. He's a guy at the truck stop you sht yourself when he starts backing next to you....
Hey my friend, I could definitely sense the amount of stress you had In that video. Taking a semi truck into the city and into tight places is never fun, so we stay calm and collected and use it as a new learning experience. I drive a Kenworth K200 B-Double here in Australia, So I get the pleasure and the stress of having an additional trailer on the back, And if you saw some of the places I need to back into, It will probably give you a heart attack 😂.
I did notice however, in your video, There were a few missed opportunities that could have saved you a lot of trouble. And i'm just talking as a driver to another driver, I'm not trying to blow smoke out of my ass or anything, we've all been in some tough spots from time to time. 17:15 There were tire marks in the snow, from where a heavy vehicle prior to yours turned around. A clue showing that vehicle had turned right into the car park and then reversed to the railway, before driving back out. Secondly and probably more importantly, Never, ever be afraid to go inside and let them know; You're having a little trouble and ask them how other semis turn around. Asking for some help or information does not make you any less of a driver, if anything it makes you a better driver. Because you're not just trying to wing it, or risking damage to your vehicle or peoples property.
I enjoy watching your videos, and seeing the passion you have for your job and for trucks, You remind me a lot of myself when I first started driving trucks. I wish you nothing but the best in your career. So take it easy on the road, Drive safe, Never have a big ego or think your the sh*t, and there is always something new to learn. With all that said, I look forward to seeing what you're going to do next. From your Aussie Truckie friend 🚛🇦🇺 Take care.
Underrated comment
Not trying to be negative but don’t shit on someone trying to help. The dude is aware enough that he won’t be hit, and is guiding you and people in cars so an accident can be avoided.
A simple solution is letting the guy know you don’t want help
Yeah, I think he just worries too much just follow what the guy is telling him to do, i know he keeps saying "don't get in the way of the trailer" but
he shouldn't worry and just keep going. Believe me if he is too close he will know and get out the way.
Haven’t been back to this channel in awhile and now I remember why; too much drama, too much stress going on. I get enough of that to contend with my own life to be watching someone else’s. Guess I’m gone again. 👋
Alex is letting everything get to his head at this point honestly, to much complaining and everyone is replaceable.
In this economy you can't be serious
WOW....that was stressful....but YOU GOT IT DONE!! Good "woosah" moment at the end there. 😌Calming yourself down and then continuing on! Not everyday is a perfect day. Thanks for what you do, man!!!! Can't wait for the next video!
Dude. Let your air build up. Get off your brakes so much. You need to slow down and be patient.
My peterbilt would run out of primary and secondary air when you're doing lots of back and forth braking and driving it's eating up more air than it replenishes. You have to do the manuevers in one smooth action. Back and forth forwards and backwards over and over is what does it. Never rush a backing manuever. Think it through before you get into this situation.
When you pull brakes to build up your air psi when low, leave your trailer brakes pushed in. It won’t use as much air when you start again.
I think you just set yourself up badly. When you don’t know where your dock is or if you have enough room. go for a walk and check things out and come up with a game plan. It will save you from getting into crappy situations. Just stop and think about it before you just go.
If the company he works for where to watch his videos, they would realize that he needs to have more training, hopefully improving his future in trucking
they'd realize they never should have hired him in the first place all he does is whine
I’m pretty sure they don’t care
Company goal. hire drivers willing to run for cents and make yt videos hahaha
@@daviddurst2973and put on his hazards
@@daviddurst2973 I've been trucking for 20 years, this job is so stressful, we deal with traffic all day, rude customers, long delay times, different schedules, day's one week, nights the next, working holidays and being away from home for weeks or even months at a time. Many of us receive no overtime pay despite working 12-14 hours a day... all to make slightly higher than average income compared to other jobs. It isn't worth it for me anymore, it really wears you down. I told my boss I am not sure how much time I have left doing this, I am miserable and every small thing bugs me and puts me in a bad mood.
Hello there Alex! Hope all is well. I have never been to Chicago. Thank you for the video. Bless you fellow and thanks for delivering the goods.
At 37:08......You were saying to yourself "Calm down Alex". That is the best positive decision you can do for yourself in those types of situations......stay calm.....and think ! Good job Alex !!!!
Great video .Safe travels Alex driving the highways seems to get busier everyday no matter where you go.
I’m a truck driver and we all have bad days. He’s definitely not used to Chicago traffic, don’t have a whole bunch of experience and have a brand spanking new truck to take care of. My first time in Chicago was pretty bad too. The important is that he made it with no accidents.
Man dont worry about then hate comments as long as long as you got the job done
It’s facts
Maybe if he read and paid attention to the “Hate” comments, he might grow, and become a better truck driver…. If you think taking 10 times longer, and making yourself upset, is worth “as long as you got the job done”…. Your delusional… the trouble with new drivers, and yes 2 years experience is new….. is they are rushed through training by people who shouldn’t be trainers, so the only “experience” they are going to get, is from more experienced drivers comments…..
@@mikestewart585the jobs done either way, plus he will learn on his own eventually
If you can't handle constructive critique then you will never improve
Even kenny thought he couldnt do it😂
The way you STAND on the brake pedal every few seconds is exactly why kenny is running out of air every 45 seconds lol QUIT SMASHING YOUR BRAKE PEDAL SO HARD AND SO OFTEN!
That and having to re-supply the air in the trailer every time, and not letting it build up to max pressure.
There was a few times where all he did was pull forward tho and the truck was out of air
@@jacksonsparrow8865 Yes, because he didn't fill the tanks to max pressure and when he re-supplied the air to both tractor and trailer it drained the tanks right back down to the warning alarm.
the whole time I'm thinking, how will self-driving electric semis be able to handle this exact situation.
The future of trucking is self driving on the freeways and then drivers shuttle them to the final destinations.
That isn't the goal of self driving trucks. The goal is to move them long distances down the highways, then a local driver will go through town and deal with all the BS - the most stressful part of the job.... and I guarantee we will make even less in the future because many drivers will be laid off, so they will take anything they can get.
Everyone gets these days when you first start driving. The first 2 years are the hardest after that when you come up on these situations you’ll definitely handle it like the Pro you are. You definitely have a leak if your losing air. If you are losing air putting into drive as well as when you use your brake there’s probably a leak. 25 yrs OTR and happily Retired.
Yes, Chicago traffic is one of the worst ever to experience. Atlanta is right behind it with New York.
You have obviously never been to Los Angeles
Yes I have
So true, I totally agree!
You're pushing the brake pedal thru the firewall, thats part of the reason youre out of air so much..
little hint from someone whos drives western avenue alot. stay in the left lane until about a half-mile to your turn or destination
It takes time and lots of experience. We've all screwed up one time or another. You'll get to the point to where you can just drive up to a place and look around and know exactly what to do.
Here is a tip for hour running out of air problem instead of putting your maxies on every air low moment keep im natural push foot on brakes lightly then rev your truck till it hisses at you keep on acceleration till it fills again and your air wont drop as quick
Hey he may be going through some things I'm sure he'll be alright we all have those hard to get through days, give the guy a break keep trucking my friend, please stay safe Godspeed.😊
Nothing will ever beat that turn radius of that freightliner as much as I hate the look compared to the peterbilt and kenworth I rather show up with turn radius than looks
I have a 22 freightliner daycab at work, it runs circles around our compan'ys mack trucks with it's turning radius.
@@markcornish6393 I got a 23 sleeper freightliner in a company that mostly uses peterbilt I kill them in turn radius I be looking at all the bent cab extenders and be say dam plus my fifth wheel is all the way back that helps to
How about the Volvos♂️❓️They're terrific IMHO, just sayin'.
Why do you pull both parking brakes? You lose so much air doing that. All you need to do it pull your tractor brake.
I used to do that because my thought process was the brakes are there for a reason use them. I've been driving 6 years and probably the last 4 I've only used the tractor brake unless I'm dropping
“There’s something wrong with this truck! Proceeds to evacuate ALL the air out of the trailer by setting the trailer brakes then wonder why he isn’t holding air when trying to back… it’s not the trucks fault it’s the operator…
The 4ways suck all the air down 😅
Cheer up buddy, you made it harder on yourself, but at least you got through it and hopefully, you learned your lesson. Stay blessed.
When a shipper or receiver sends a guy out to help he becomes your best friend you haven't seen in 20 years never deni help Iam sure they seen it all. Well up until today! Keep on a truckin
Awesome video man I need more haha
Very impressive work. Beginning to think controllable rear axles like on the long loads would be a good idea.
Saw you heading east on 80 in Indiana, man your truck can be spotted by about half a mile can't even miss it. Nice footage
Driver of the year got the same truck, the company has two of those kw100yrs Only reason he got one was because of RUclips and the “drivers” he attracts to the company.
Man, that was a great job and stressful. I was even feeling stressed just watching it. Keep up the great work!
Great job? Were you watching the same video>>?
Enjoy your trucking video! Mike from Missouri
Hey Alex, you did great... Don't listen to the neg comments. When I used to drive local in NY, NJ, CT, PA I have had these types of situations/panic many times. Many city semi drivers have had the same, especially early on in their career. I have two recommendations, do not use your brakes too much or press too hard when backing up. Also, if you have to get out of your cab (only if you are on flat ground) to look around only pull your tractor brakes to prevent losing even more air. One other thing (I'm not exactly sure because I was not present) but on the video it appeared like you could have made the right at the intersection near the building stayed to the right of the cement (jersey) barrier, backed your trailer towards the train tracks and pivot the rear of trailer and jack the front of your trailer right 45 degrees to get turned around. Thanks for sharing your videos.
No he didn't. He did afwul actually!
thank you for taking the time to actually be constructive instead of being a dick about it like so many other people. i hope you have a good day!
@@HipHopJunkie82 He did a horrible job... he really should read the comments.
I am not a truck driver, but I am always amazed at the driving and maneuvering skills most of them have. I have been watching this dude for a short while and it always seems he struggles with what should be straightforward docking. Is he special needs (weird noises) or maybe hasn’t been trained well? I don’t know perhaps I am not analyzing it like an experienced trucker would. Also, he is always telling his company he doesn’t want to go to certain states or cities and in this video he wants more money for this “difficult” site. 4 months ago he has a video titled “This is the last time I will ever deliver to New York!!!!!”. That is not how the world works chief. Put your big boy pants on and do your job. If I was his employer I would strongly consider changing drivers. It is a bad look. Lastly, the company got him a Kenworth after all his complaining about the Freightliner, that is really nice. I am sure there are a lot of us that wish our employers treated us that well.
Exactly. My husband use to drive for GP and just wanted more home time and they wouldn't do it but they'll give this guy a brand new custom kenworth. 🙄
I hope he is able to be home more now.
@@shayrae81u have to understand and I'm being nice when I say this. Ur husband doesn't affect the company very much. Now Alex here has 900k subs. These companies don't wanna piss him off. Cause he has a large reach. Yea it's not right but it's the world. The larger your reach is the more respect and better loads u gonna get. Imagine if the company pisses Alex off. That's 900k plus people that aren't gonna wanna work for em
You should of just turned right and backed towards the railway track, where you initially put your tractor. Then drive back out. And reverse back around to the dock
Mate, when these things happen, try to place your truck where you initially was and then come out, calculate the space you have. Backing towards the rails was your best option. Driving in Pittsburgh PA, it's even worse.
Also before you get out of the truck to check stuff , put it on high idle .will build air quicker
Seems like you are idling the engine just enough to get the warning light off, which is nowhere close to full.
Fr he kept idling it just to make the alarm go off instead till the governor cut off sneezed off he would’ve had plenty of air not to mention he kept popping and releasing the brakes
Man, yep gotta know all of your angles, sometimes never trust others that give you direction, certifying it yourself kind of like with a bird's eye view of Google Maps Street View or Google Earth/ toggle thru it, and so when you get there you kinda got the idea of what's going on! Last thing which is the main thing when it comes to being a trucker is patience. I remember them those days... being like wth wow really, Life of a Trucker! I hope they give you a bonus for driving in those crazy docks and alleyways of Chicago. Good Content 👍🏽 Sir!
This reminds me of Madrid here in Spain, the worst place to drive. Its a place where childreen at age 4 know all the curse words in the Spanish language thanks to the traffic and their parents driving.
It is said in the old sacred legends that once you learn how to drive through Madrid no road can oppose you, no road can be difficult
Why r u keep braking the trailer jut pull the tractor valve and leave the red valve alone so u don't run out of air..
your riding the brake thats what killing your airpressure
Sorry for the experience in my hometown lol I’m from Chicago and hate driving here especially downtown area.
You know it's a good day when this bad boy uploads
Coming from a fellow driver Alex never put yourself in a situation without examining it first. That was my biggest problem as well when i first started, never took the time to park walk around and look at details and come up with a game plan. Trust me in tricky situations like this were you have multiple obstacles, cars, poles, buildings tight spaces etc its well worth it to park before even making a first move or turn, walk around for 10, 15 or 20 mins vs getting yourself into this predicament and fighting and struggling for an hour or so.
Oh my goodness. Just keep up the positive thinking. Just cute Kenny. My truck is named Manny. I hope you get it back up👍👍👍👍
There are certain situations where you can back into a position, drop the trailer and rebook on the other side if yhat makes sense. When you can't do a turn around.
Faaaakk its not problem running out air. The broblem is behind the wheel…
3:51 A stop sign at a signalized intersection? That's a new one on me. I guess I'd observe the green light also.
Everyday is your worst day and you hate every city you drive through
💯
I went through chicago today and now im parked for 34 hrs at what looks to be a really sleezy pilot. Aye! Yae! Yae! Wish i could just do my delivery and get out of here.
Life is a challenge. I hear ya. I'm glad you accomplished it.🎂😁👍
25:26 if you're on low air try not to fill the tank with park brake on try to fill the tank with pedal brake. If you want to fill the air tank while park brake on try to fill the tank fully, otherwise when you release the park brake some of the air will go to the brake chambers and you will be again in low air situation.
OMG, i just got home from the road, im a trucker myself. Im in my bathtub laughing like crazy ! You should be a comedian .LOL i love you!
You got the job done safely and thats the biggest thing.
The only thing you are good at is talking about it. You had any amount of room to turn around at the railway tracks. How the hell did you get your license.
Exactly!
I completely understand your frustration with driving in Chicago! I was born, lived and worked there my entire life so I know what’s going on. I’m retired now and live 50 miles from downtown. I have absolutely no desire to drive in the city for any reason. You were fortunate that the streets weren’t a disaster from a major snowstorm. It’s a good thing you didn’t buy a condo downtown. Way overpriced, over taxed and nobody feels safe there anymore.
How’s the migrant situation as a sanctuary city treating you?
It was beyond obvious that all you had to do was turn to your right and back your trailer up into the corner at the edge of the RR track instead of pulling forward up into that corner at the RR track.
🕺🕺
He did the opposite
Exactly your ass end can hang over the tracks for a few seconds as long as you're quick about it and get yourself spun around. This dude made it look like the Apollo moon landing.
@@Reflectivityy I agree, he did a great job, better than most people, @tutie doesn't know what he or she is talking about.
thats exactley what i would of done
Its because when you r backing up you keep pumping the brake.
As a former semi-tractor/trailer driver in the Chicago area I can assure you...Chicago is a fantastic city, Alex. Don't hate the city.
I've seen flatbed drivers twist and turn through extremely tight spots...literally nothing 99.9% of drivers would ever be able to do.
Sure, there are lots of low bridges, lots of traffic, even train tracks downtown that are on risen tracks that have low clearance.
But every large city east of the Mississippi River is going to be like that. *You're doing great!* Just keep it up and enjoy.
Chicago is an amazing city! I have a dream of living downtown. No car. Chicago has some of the best destinations of any city the US has to offer! I would never want to drive a rig through it, I have enough trouble trying to find a small parking space! Chicago is an amazing place!
You can see other drivers tracks. I seriously don't see how you have a job
In the middle of the video you saw a semi-truck pull in to the same dock he was trying to get into, no problem
Hey Brother love your videos.. Keep on truckin!! Stay safe out there🚛🚛
My first 5 years driving semi I delivered every week to Chicago from Grand Rapids Michigan
I used to deliver produce to the old Water Street Market in a 53' road rig. IYKYK.
Tip: If GP transco gives you the receiver phone number, always call it. There is a good chance they will have directions and few times instructions.
I commend you bro, im not a trucker but I think you accomplished the task at hand very well!! Makes me glad I'm not a trucker, they should warn you of such hard docks.
He’s getting to the point of success where he’s criticized for every little thing he does now
I’d love to be in his position. He’s getting paid two full time job salaries for the price of one. This dude is rolling in Cheddar
No he isn’t lol
No he's not. But whatever makes you feel better
Hi Alex, just hang in there bro, I know easy say than done, but Sooner it will be a thing of the past, it reminds me of the old days when I was in training, I missed the by pass in Houston Texas, and again missed the by pass in Atlanta Ga, cuz people wouldn't let me switch lanes to the right, regardless of my turning signal, just be patient and you will be there in no time!
@@KylesRV ok then, it might have been Dallas, cuz we were going east on I-10 to S Carolina is been a while!
@@KylesRV ok then I just looked up and found that, it must have been I -610 that goes around Houston, and connects with I-10 about 45 miles east of Houston, and I leave at that, that's my story and am sticking to it, and by the way I said a bypass, cuz that's what my trainer called it!
I feel bad for the engine lmaoo stepping on the pedal every time
STOP PULLING BOTH BRAKES WHEN YOURE BUILDING AIR, TRUCK BRAKE ONLY. Also with how fast you lose air, you must absolutely MASH on the brakes instead of feather
Ive delivered to chicago and the surrounding area many times and this one is harder than all of them. Still doable but harder than what ive done so far. My hardest dock to hit was a whse in Laredo. But i agree with everyone else that say to pull up to the docks and back the trailer up next to the RR tracks then pull fwd into the alley and back in from there. Not on the tracks but next to the tracks. Im surprised he didnt see that.
yea dont set trl brakes everytime that just takes more air to fill back uplolz
My guy each time you set those brakes. It pushes all the air out of the tank and airbags of the trailer. So then when you push your trailer Supply valve back in. You have to put air back in the tank of the trailer and supply air to the airbags. That's where you lose all your air. When you park quit setting your trailer break so much just set the truck. Trailer won't go anywhere on flat, I promise.
Like I said before, you use the brakes too much. I predicted this before the video started. And you press down on the brake hard every time you use it. You can hear the air being released.
like it’s not his truck and he can’t do what he feels comfortable with 😹
@@daymon_1The company doesn’t get value for money if it takes longer than necessary
@@Tom-sg4iv be said it took him an hour and 14 minutes. Lol
There was a few times where all he did was pull forward tho and the truck was out of air
@@jacksonsparrow8865 I never saw that. You can hear how hard he's pressing on the breaks though and how often. And that's even after the edited parts.
get someone to look at your air mon. if it's not a leak, there might be setting you can adjust? no idea
Your running out of so quick because you engage both brakes red and yellow at the same time. when your air builds up and you push both brakes in it takes most all the air you had built up to fill your brake lines. watch your air gauge when you push both lines in... your air drops amost to the red just to fill the lines. then you pump your foot brake which releases air everytime you push the brake peddle.
Then when the air is low you pull both tractor and trailer brakes again which uses all the air you just built up to fill the tractor and trailer airlines when you push the knobs in to release the brakes. And as soon as it alarms you pull both brakes again using up all the air you just built up. Watch your air pressure guage when you push in the tractor and trailer brakes... watch the air pressure go down quickly because its having to refill all your brake lines.
When your air pressure keeps doing that.. ONLY engage the tractor brakes.. it will use less air when you release only the tractor brakes to start backing again.
Nothing is mechanically wrong with that truck.. all the next generation peterbilts use up air like that when you keep engaging both the tractor and trailer brakes at the same time.
Remember in CDL school when the yhave you pump the foot brakes until the brake knobs pop out because your out of air.. well, thats what you doing by continuosly pushing the foot brakes while backing.. you are exhausting the air. Then what do you do?? You pop both tractor and trailer brakes again and again using up any air that has built up.
Do this... pull your tractor and trailer brake knobs to set the brakes. Then watch the air guage as you push both tractor and trailer brakes in. You can see how much air is depleted from your air tanks by always using both brakes. While backing a rule of thumb is to only use the tractor brakes. You will use less air only having to fill just the tractor brakes to get them to release.
This only shows that you are still learning the trucking industry and how different trucks work.
Stay safe out there
Stay away from them automatics alex ,, ask for a straight pipe manualy driven truck ,, and exaust brake right in the middle of town bro lmao ,, good luck with kenny 🤜🏽🤛🏽
If it's an automated manual transmission, the majority of air loss is the clutch.
Exactly
The “Air Loss” is him pushing that brake pedal down 10 times harder than he needs too…. It’s a brand new truck with disc brakes, not a 1958 Mack….. Alex if you read this? You don’t need 60 psi of brake pressure every time you use your brakes….. that’s why you lose your air ALL the time…. In every video I’ve ever watched….. if every truck you’ve ever driven has a “problem” holding air????? Maybe it’s NOT the truck!!!!!!!
Great driving Alex, You're credit to your profession
bot
@@tylerschroeder3722 Stupid is as stupid does
@@mountuplikeaneagle Yes Alex is pretty stupid
In Chicago you have to get there hours before rush hour... F the appointment time ,,, u wouldn't have any cars there for one..
You had plenty of room to turn around Alex all you had to do is turn right and back up to the left corner of your trailer to the RR track's and turn out,easy peasy!! ALL trucker's get flustered just take it easy and think about it
Alex! Bro , keep the red knob in !!
I have been a truck driver for a long time a lot of years and I cannot stand Chicago in fact I would try to drive straight across Illinois without stopping anytime I could seriously the longer you drive you’ll figure out the places you don’t want to go.
Over 2,000,000 miles myself, now I just run Texas and go home every day
I am sorry because I am a Dutch driver. Was turning right and backing up to the rails on left not an option. After that turn right again and back up to the dock. You guys have such a big turningcircle so don't know if you could make that.
Two things could be wrong, 1. You might want to check your lines or you're using your brakes way to much.
I had dozens of such unloadings. It's even stronger when they say bigger trucks have entered and you have to catapult him to Mars.
Live n learn and the air loss is from constantly pressing the brake alex when you drain your air brakes you have to press the brake pedal constantly that what happening with Kenny try to cruise up and down
