When I came home from Desert Storm/Navy, I almost became a trucker, because my father was a trucker in the Army. I even went out to the truck driving school out in Elizabethtown,Pa. to check it out. In the end I decided to follow in the family business (Plumbing), because my PTSD would'nt of been good Idea to be an over the road trucker. lol. Btw, I'm out in Collegeville...and I always yield and watch for truckers. Dad told me back in the day truckers were called "knights of the road", and he taught me to have the utmost respect for truckers.
Another fun video. I love that word. We used it in the1980's and 1990's without any pushback. It was never meant to be derogatory, it was just an expression. At 62 I still use it and I laugh when I do. Keep the videos coming and don't ever apologize for that word.
Good to see you jammin gears those traffic scenarios with other vehicles I am all to familiar with but that is any big city or urban metropolis even smaller towns
You've definitely been doing this a long time! This is crazy! I'm partnered with TheAdrenalineDealer and 8lugs No Plugs and we'd like to share some clips of yours across our platforms with credit to you!
Joe, just remember, Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can keep the stupid quiet, if you use it the right way, people are inherently stupid, this is a proven fact. Keep up the great work Brother. 🇬🇧
Brother you are a beast not only backing semi truck but tight street bro you are the best. Question? When you come to a red light do you use the clutch brake or just brake to stop the truck and when you are loaded what gear you start from
I’m going to say Joey was taught to always to start in the lowest gear with any load !!!!! And he always drive the truck with ease and with no harm to it!!!!
The clutch brake won't stop the truck, just destroy the clutch brake. It is only for stopping the transmission input shaft when you go to put the truck in gear when you are already stopped.
I appreciate that! I usually downshift to a stop, or at least slow enough to throw the truck into neutral. If the truck is newer, and has a good working clutch brake I'll leave it in neutral and before the light change I'll push the clutch in, use low or first gear and pull away. If the truck is older or has a bad clutch brake I may always keep it in a gear so I don't have to grind it trying to get it back in at the time of the light change. But I always start in first or low. Especially when the truck is loaded.
What's up trucker Joe? I don't know how you do it, those driver's are totally stupid around you. I am surprised you haven't gotten out and thumped one of them, you have more patience than me. I avoid city driving if I can, not worth added stress, lol 😅. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming, catch you on the next one. Hammer down.
It will all come back to you brother you've been out for a while I have been to Philly 4/5 times and my hat is off to you you're having to do it every day lol but I know what you mean about having an old truck me and my wife own 13 trucks now and the newest one is a 1993 KW My truck I drive is a 1985 KW let me get this right cuz people will sit there and say they didn't make a 400 big cam Cummins!! The old-timers called it a 400 big cam Cummins but it's a 4 big cam Cummins with 550 HP with a 15 speed. This new trucks with emissions with dps and I haven't to regen I don't trust them! It's too much for a truck. Anyway I didn't mean to write a book good to have you back give it some time it's like riding a old horse you just got to get back in the saddle again! Lol
I'm 63 and i stopped driving truck almost 9 years ago, why because we have let people from other countries that have know sense of comen courtesy. I'm in Canada and your in the United States and we both have the same fucking problem. I just have to think to myself how long will you keep on trucking.
What the old man thinks your to long and lazy !!!! Should have want to girard ave on ramp . Because of the front tire !!!!! Just saying you wanted to know!!!!!!!!
As my 20 year old son is Autistic. And I have a friend with a 20 year old daughter with Down Syndrome. And my son watches your videos, please don't use the 'R' word anymore. My son doesn't want to stop watching you, as he sees you as a Daredevil. Much love, trucking brother.
I do apologize, I say it without realizing and I also don't tie that word to anything relevant to someone who is challenged or has any special needs. I have family members of friends and my own and honestly I didn't take into consideration as to the views not necessarily understanding what my friends and family understand. I will gladly not use that word on the channel in the future. I appreciate this comment and your son still being interested in watching!
Your pops taught you well on how to drive.Your like a snake,move with ease and can get into the tightest spots.Thats some cool footage.They let illegal immigrants go through there,so if they can so can you.Better you going through there with a semi versus a guy that had a sex change driving a small car !!!
Nobody should ever trash you in the comments. Real truckers will admire your skills. Youre incredible and most cant come close to your talent level
Quality driving. Your part of a dying bread, my friend 👍🏻
Thank you!
"Thanks buddy" after swearing him. Great driving as always.
it be like that
Hahahahahaha
@@drateryakoexactly!

Do they still sell pretzels in the middle of the boulevard???
Only see the guy at linden and toresdale ave lol

What's your mark, I have my days hahaha but yes it definitely sucks. I try to remain patient. Thank you and see ya on the next one
Ran a lowboy down in Philly for a job we had there…. you had to get creative.
Even in places like no where Wyoming, people are always in a hurry. I'd actually say people are worse in resort towns than big cities.
I bet it’s aggravating dealing with those idiot drivers everyday that have no clue the stress they add on truck drivers
Noice

If bro was cool he woulda help up traffic for you at the light
I think the city of Philadelphia has far worse to worry about than you putting your steer tires on a concrete sidewalk.
Dude, you sound like a northeast truck driver! Lol! If you can't back up in the Northeast, don't ever come to the northeast!
