They literally have a class to learn how to drive a van. Not the big Rivian, or the large UPS style, or even the high top Sprinter. Just a plain old flat top Dodge cargo van. It's scary.
Honestly. Seeing everyone come together and help that man. Even tho I know they had to be clownin him. Regardless is still awsome to see. They came together and helped.
چرا باید او را مسخره میکرند؟ این یک کار عادی است، در ایران این کارها و کمک کردنها خیلی طبیعی و اصلا اخبار جدیدی نیست،اینجا اگر کمک نکنید تعجب میکنند از شما😮
As someone who drove an 18-wheeler in every borough but Manhattan, I’ll say this. There is no amount of money you can offer me at this point in my life to ever drive again in NYC. That includes a 4-wheeler, life is too short for the bullshit
Not saying hes a bad driver but Ive been in that situation before. Its better to find a place where you can unhook the trailer in the direction u need to go, get your truck turned around and back up and grab your trailer. Saves you a day of work…
Thank you. I have been waiting for your answer to this question. As a CDL examiner, grading him would be a failure, and my recommendation would be further training.
As a driver myself I have to say that is one of the worst feelings when you realize GPS took you the wrong way and it’s too late and no where to turn around. Happened to me not long ago in Atlanta. Stressful af.
I have been in his place when i drove a truck. I got stuck on a street in Philadelphia and spent three hours getting out. I will never forget the fine people that came to my aid and helped me, i couldn't have done it without them.
Every time I had to go into NYC I got help from the local people with directions I even got an escort to the pickle factory from the new York fire department. The next time NYC police. Then another time an ambulance escort. NYC is really bad to drive a truck. But the people in NYC are the best.😊
I’m a truck driver and I live in New York and I don’t even take loads going there tell you the truth I don’t even bring the truck home I park on the yard and fly home
This is what makes me want to become a truck driver,🚛 it is very motivating, 🗽💯taking on challenges and facing difficulties and breakdowns. Thank you to everyone who helped this driver ❤
he didn't panic and cause damage that's a win. so many drivers get too anxious by honking horns and yelling they that destroy property trying to get away asap. it takes humility to ask for help when everyone is against you. he did a good job given the circumstances. obviously he was anxious
As a Texan I remember 15 years ago when i got my CDL 3 solo run was to N.Y. I leaned real quick I didn't want any part of them b.s. states and now 15 yrs driving I still feel the same way lol
And gaurantee that the very ones who could move their cars wont....This is why they tell people not to park on corners but hey it is NYC.....Kudos to the ones who helped and to truck driver himself.
The trucks of choice would be box truck and flatbed. Under no circumstances should a semi be in an area like this. That guy has got to be angry yet thankful for the help. This is insane.
As a driver myself Just recently got in a situation in Kentucky was on a road that had no signs telling me that the bridge was closed ahead on a one-way Street very narrow had to backup a good while into someone's driveway to make my turn around my hat goes off to people that help cuz it can get nerve-wracking
A word of advice to drivers going to big cities like this. Plan your route ahead of time and then CALL the shipper or receiver before entering the city to ask for the best route to get in. Even if you plan your route perfectly ahead of time, there may be a street closure that will get you into a pickle just like this. Thanks to the people there for helping! Not everyone will do that.
Man I had a similar situation happen to me back in 2022 in Chicago! During the winter too. GPS took me down a residential. Saw cars parked on both sides of the road and houses glued to each other back to back and instantly knew I F’d up. Through sheer will and God himself, I took my time and got myself out the situation. Haven’t been a steering wheel holder since. Now we correctly pre plan routes and use Trucker Path💯
This is tough no matter how you look at it. One of the things that makes it so tough is the fact that he has it spread axle trailer. The other thing is those front guards are a great asset, but they do become problematic in situations like this. It is for this reason I installed a dump valve on my spread axle to make it a little easier in situations like this. When you have no dump valve, the key is to get the trailer wheels as far to the right as possible, even if it means purposely pulling forward and backing up to get the trailer wheels over as far as possible, Then get the rear axle as close to, or as much into the intersection as possible, then make a series of forward and reverse moves, turning slightly each time, while maximizing your forward and rearward space. Seeing everyone come together to help out, though, that’s New York’s finest right there. This guy will have a story to tell for years to come.
I love NY. The my first dock bump in NY was tight and difficult and they came together to coach me as well. I was reluctant first but when I listened I got the job done.
It would have been a lot easier with a lift axel system and the both axel. You lift up the rear axle for those tight turns. Then you lower the rear axle and lift up the forward axle to avoid the swing of the trailer. It works every time. Also check your routing with a paper map when you’re going into a big narrow city and call your shipper/receiver for specific truck routing. It will save you a lot of time and stress. New York is not as bad as people say. You have to be calm and do those things I said. Stay calm and don’t make a turn anywhere if you are not sure. Don’t worry about traffic behind you. They can honk their horns and yell at you all they want but if you don’t move they can’t move do don’t worry about them. Only thing you can control is you and don’t make any mistakes because it will cost you not the yelling four wheelers behind you.
Good job to the guy who did the filming. I filmed one of these eight years ago in Harlem and it was every bit as interesting as the one you just produced here. It was amazing how everybody got together and moved the Toyota RAV4. I think we could've use some of those guys to move the Mitsubishi Montero that was blocking me over the road trucker in my video.
I used to deliver to all the McDonald's in all the boroughs in the 53 and that right there is exactly why I will never go back for less than $24,000 with a maximum weight of 6000 lb
Unless you are or have been a truck driver, the amount of anxiety this causes is unmeasurable. Take away all fo the people watching and just the situation alone is horrible. Thank you to those people that help us out when we need it. CHEERS!
As a truck driver myself that runs the 5 borrows of NY I never had a issue. Ny Will show you what kind of driver you are and will test your skill and patience. I have seen driver myself stuck and helped a few myself. Ny is no place for us big trucks
Had similar situation in downtown ny city... cop came around , told me to wait 5 min for people to move the cars parked illegal... if they weren't out of the way then i was to go!... word spread really quick and cars moved😅
My stress levels went thru the roof just watching this shit!! This is my ABSOLUTE worst nightmare as a truck driver "also blowing a steer tire doing 70mph" I try my absolute HARDEST to never get myself into a situation like this. Somethings are out of your control, like road closures & construction.
Im 8 years going on 9 years of otr driving and i have Never been to NYC and dont want to go....every sense i experience "PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA" im good on Pennsylvania,Massachusetts,new jersey and Connecticut and new York
What angers me is the 3 cars parked in the corners and the owners just stay looking!!! If those fools would had moved thos cars out of the way for the truck to go thru it would had been a whole lot better! Shame to those idiots parked in the corners!!
how do you know the owners of the cars were watching. I'm a truck driver too and I get the frustration of cars crappy parking right at the edge of a turn but we don't know who the car owners were. I doubt they would let someone jack up their car and push it vs moving it if they were watching. this is NYC lots of pedestrians around
Its 47 more states, easier, less streeful ways to make money. Why anyone chooses to take loads into the city is beyond me. Even if i were company drive i would refuse a load going into the city. If they wanna fire you for that, tell um to kick rocks.
U saying that and I bet u will go to L A in a heartbeat and catch a bullet why the hard part of New York is it's so damn tight to get around in a big truck.
When I started driving back in 93 some homeless dude helped me get to the Bronx market I paid him 100 dollars. Nice guy. Since then I been to NYC a million times if course get well to go there 😂😂😂
I’ve been driving tractor trailers 5 years now and the one thing I’ve learned in situations like these is never to panic and don’t rush always plan your route and route your plan it’s very important
Truck Drivers bringing communities together. Or is it the residents are afraid of getting damage to their vehicles?🤔 Whatever it is, see how well neighbors can work together as a team! Even a bless you was mentioned.🙂👌
I got stuck in NYC once. Didn't know how I got to where I was or how to get out. I came across a police man directing traffic at a large intersection. I told him my problem and he put his hands up and stopped all traffic. Then he let me pull a U-turn in the intersection. I thought that was pretty cool of him.
He won't forget that but it gives you more experience safe driving all you truckes out there I'm backing out ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ps big love for all the peterbuilts out old or young my lady just sits now in the back yard ❤❤❤
Let’s be honest here. NYC is not for everybody. You can tell real truckers . Anybody you hear on here complaining about NYC and the difficulties are not real truckers
@@Davekelly35 “real truckers” for the most part are a damn embarrassment. You can have your supertrucker trophy, tell all your asswipe cohorts stories at the TA trucker’s table, and jack off in your sleeper over chrome while I’m on top of my old lady after my cozy M-F 9 hour linehaul run.
Apologies if this is a dumb question but would it have been possible to unhitch the trailer so as to line up the truck's angle better and then reattach the trailer?
During my 2 years I've had to get out of a few "sticky" situations...... either way ya learn your truck and it's turning radius and everything you just get a good feel for it. After you really know the truck as well as your own d*ck then you "just know" if you can make a turn before ever attempting it. You just know ahead of time no matter the turn or situation you just know "to keep going" or to "turn back/reverse" ahead of time to avoid nightmares like this one. Also once you know the truck/trailer setup well enough it simply takes just getting out and looking while running sims in your brain till you find that perfect plan then execute it flawlessly. If you're not one with your truck than ya easily end up like this guy in the video no telling how many times/situations. You must become "one" with the truck, trailer, traffic, and everything around you.
In Japan, there is a rule that you shouldn't park near intersections. It's a nuisance to everyone, isn't it? It's also dangerous for pedestrians. The police are cracking down on it.
It's that type of trailer that makes maneuvering difficult. I think that if he had swung as wide as possible and did a few back and forth maneuvers, he would have made it.
Best case is just to keep straight. A lot of times cars are parked too close to the curb. And that’s the biggest issue. The fact that no one moves the cars is wild.
I have been to New York a few times and Newark, New Jersey once to unload trucks. These places are hell for truck drivers. I never want to go there again in my life.
Grewup in Jamaica Queens NY know all the 5 boroughs drove for 43yrs OTR here in Norfolk, Va and still went to NY just be very patience and take your time and lm retired now
It’s easy talking from the computer. The max trailer lengths I see in Jamaica is 45-48ft . Cars are parked on both sides of the streets. Jamaica is cake walk to drive!
As a truck driver myself. I like to say to the people out there thank you for helping.
@cretejake34301 a great way for the community to come together
It's New Yorkers we mind our business but we help .
As a truck driver myself I absolutely agree… thank you guys

Im a Truck Driver out of Philadelphia an this is exactly reason why i stay the Hell Out of NYC.
That State is a Living Nightmare..
I feel you bro
It was built for 40 foot trailers and cabovers.
Yep..same here
The city is designed for you to fux up. False bridge heights and all types of other crazy stuff.
Why get a smaler trailer..or Combo...if you get good payd..invest it.🤔you not got self sterring trailers overthere??like we got them here..🇪🇺🇺🇸
bro is never coming back to nyc
Facts lol
I'm never going 😂😂😂
Definition of sardine can
This is defetnaly the worst living nightmare for a trucker.
As a trucker they better get a box truck to go there because we don’t get paid enough to deal with this
Yes, he was stuck for hours
I just got pulled over and ticketed in a box truck going down the 87 parkway. First time in NY. I didn't know.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER take driving advice from a Amazon driver

in the beginning of the video he almost had it but decided to pull straight ahead. wtf was he thinking?
At 1:12 he had it right just had to pull all the way left smh 🤦
The trailer may not make it considering the black rav4 that was eventually jacked.
Yeah I never drove in NYC but I been down little goat trails in the bush with a landoll and got turned around
Thats what i said. Current truck driver
Idk how some people got their cdls
Drove 48 myself. NYC only once. Never again.

A true nightmare. He aas suck for a while
During my 2 years I've had to get out of a few "sticky" situations...... either way ya learn your truck and it's turning radius and everything you just get a good feel for it. After you really know the truck as well as your own d*ck then you "just know" if you can make a turn before ever attempting it. You just know ahead of time no matter the turn or situation you just know "to keep going" or to "turn back/reverse" ahead of time to avoid nightmares like this one. Also once you know the truck/trailer setup well enough it simply takes just getting out and looking while running sims in your brain till you find that perfect plan then execute it flawlessly. If you're not one with your truck than ya easily end up like this guy in the video no telling how many times/situations. You must become "one" with the truck, trailer, traffic, and everything around you.
Out of 44 years of driving not once did I go to that hell.way I looked at it if they want it come and get it
In Japan, there is a rule that you shouldn't park near intersections. It's a nuisance to everyone, isn't it? It's also dangerous for pedestrians. The police are cracking down on it.
Not here. Parking is at such a premium
It's that type of trailer that makes maneuvering difficult. I think that if he had swung as wide as possible and did a few back and forth maneuvers, he would have made it.
Best case is just to keep straight. A lot of times cars are parked too close to the curb. And that’s the biggest issue. The fact that no one moves the cars is wild.
Every truck driver’s worst nightmare!!!
this is why I don't fuck with new York one mistake can lead to this type of situation
WORD!!! He was stuck for HOURS
I have been to New York a few times and Newark, New Jersey once to unload trucks. These places are hell for truck drivers. I never want to go there again in my life.
Grewup in Jamaica Queens NY know all the 5 boroughs drove for 43yrs OTR here in Norfolk, Va and still went to NY just be very patience and take your time and lm retired now
Thanks to everyone who gave the truck 🚚 driver support.
Back up drop trailer, hook it up from the side, but make sure the rear of the trailer doesn't catch a vehicle when turning
The solutions you Americans find are absolutely incredible! You all need to come to Jamaica to learn how drive semi's; your roads are very wide.
It’s easy talking from the computer. The max trailer lengths I see in Jamaica is 45-48ft . Cars are parked on both sides of the streets. Jamaica is cake walk to drive!
When you a good driver and know what you doing, you only might need someone to make sure you won't hit anything...he's not a good driver
if you don't know the city, don't go there. it can cost you your job and more. leave that money to us.
