@@Keepskatin I actually found it easier to blindside a KW W900 than many of the other trucks I have had to blindside back. Certainly having the window helps. I never once doubted your intelligence, lol.
The respect's ironic really, because truckers who risk their tractors to do this encourage dispatchers to disrespect our efforts and demean our skills. Go figure; the companies do know how to exploit their slaves.
I’ve been hauling heavy equipment for the last 20 years and had to do some creative backing myself with oversized loads so I give props to the driver behind the wheel of this t660 he obviously takes pride in his work like we all should👍👍👍
Wow just amazing skills! Blindsided in a narrow dock on a busy road with obstacles in the way. With a sleeper and a 53 ft trailer. Nothing but respect driver💯
I love how people in the comments talking about what, and how he should have done...when you are put into a situation like this, you react to it in the moment!

It's very difficult, especially psychologically. I'm in school for it. And it takes a lot of practice, even after you get it, or else it comes and goes. We only learned straight and left angle. I fear the day I have to back in blind.
That was nice ridiculous what we go through and you know people are always waiting for you to mess up so they can run their mouth but without a clue of the skill involves 10/10 sir because of the blindside factor braver than I am props to you
*_A lot of city docks like this were designed for trucks in the 1940`s, '50's & '60's. To redesign & reconstruct to accommodate today's trucks would cost too much & would take up more room than feasible so, as long as there are drivers like this, they won't correct the problems._*
Done that in a residential area in Skokie. Picking up components for Oshkosh truck. Very tight and nerve racking. Thank god the place had an employee that help me out.
My rule #1 when I was driving a truck was never blindsided back into a dock like this one.but there are times you have to and I always slide my TRL tandem all the way up I was a truck driver for over 27 years this guy is great
This guy is a real pro, blindside backing a tight downtown corner like that. Also anyone thats driven a T660 will know that they don’t exactly have the best visibilty, (high dashboard).
Retitle it BLINDSIDE backing big rig in TIGHT San Diego spot! WHOA! I think I would have circled and come down the street the wrong way lol. I wouldn't want any part of that mess. My stomach would have turned when I saw that if I were the one to hit that spot. Made me sick watching it.
Kman right man I agree and truthfully if I came to a spot like this I'm trying my best to get a drivers side back maybe circle the block and come around lol
@kman. If something gets hit, shit happens. They should have designed the business better. New job or.new career, who cares. Don't be a slave to any job.🙌
Not saying it can't happen to me because incidents and accidents, can happen to the best of the best. But after 14 years of driving, I never had neither because. I don't put myself in situations trying to prove to anyone I am a super trucker. But don't mistake that i can't back into a place like that, I just want...
No body ever wants to get put in situations like that, but sometimes it happens especially OTR, new state-city you never what you’re gonna run into, I would avoid these spots any day also but the load must get delivered so wherever it is, that trailer needs to get to that doc
@@alexiscatano9046 True fact, then as you make a mistake because mistakes do happen. Then you your dispacter get into it and 9 times out of 10 you the driver going to say you shouldn't sent me to a tight place like that. Then your dispacter and safety going to tell you if you didn't feel comfortable trying to back in you shouldn't have done it. Now a preventable incident on your driving record. The moral of the story is if I don't feel comfortable doing it then im not.
I is so nice to see a true professional at work ,not only does he really know how to drive he keeps the equipment looking like new ,my kind of driver.😎🇨🇦
We go through living hell out here with places like this I feel if a shipper or receiver has a spot like this they need to find a satellite whse for drivers because if we damage ANYTHING its on the driver
I know these team drivers in 1993. Some European drivers. They had this big long Pete. When they pulled up to the warehouse the passenger would open the back door and walk in to check in. The other guy would blind side into any door available. Place used to have columns like that to no room in front and other trucks crowded around. Usually one shot. All I used to hear is him adjusting his motor mirrors. True professionals. No spotter needed. It was very impressive
@Leland Brown that's true to an extent under forced dispatch but under fmcsa you have the right to refuse work if the driver has "reasonable apprehension" for the safety of the motoring public
f1aw1ess23 After watching that, you thought he forgot to open doors? He had to get it perfectly lined up with dock first, then pull forward to open doors. 42 years experience talking here. Maybe you were just kidding?
Lee Dunn Well 🤔, I started my 1st driving job in ‘71 (after 4 years in Marine Corps) for Sears delivering to 8 states out of Chicago for 3 years then moved to California and had several jobs before starting with big grocery distributor for the rest of my time. I retired 5 years ago at age 66 so my memory doesn’t have room for everything. But I still regularly have bad dreams about stressful events as though I’m still living it. 😣 Never have bad dreams about Vietnam, just truck driving. 🤷🏻♂️
This happened to me one time in Coatsville Pennsylvania but it was on a road with woods on both sides. Fortunately I had 2 polite people guide me backwards for about a mile. I made it unscathed but I feel this driver's pain!!
The assholes that are honking, blindside with a flatbed parked in the room he needed to get in I’m impressed I don’t think I could have done that with a short flatbed my hat is off to you! You held your patients and did awesome!
Bless them boys,helping him too...I've been thru hell backin into tighter places than this one,without any help,just gettin out and lookin every time,in which I would've liked to have a spotter,but either way this driver did a great job backing that trailer💪🏻💪🏻
There is a way to back up successfully without using any spotters It’s called “get out and look” and it will take much longer to get it in. But you’re a great back-er if you back it in without hitting anything.
C. Galvan78 it’s what I immediately saw And it’s why he didn’t have enough space to swing the cab around up front. Not knocking the man tho on it while having eyes all around guiding him. I’ll tell you of a tight spot and it’s where I got my experience doing my blind side backing there would pick up there three times a month in Harrison NJ at the bread 🍞 plant . Now that is a tight spot way way more narrow than this st and obstacles in the way as well if drivers on here know where I’m talking about say I’m lien yeah that’s a hellava backing.
Were my thoughts right off the bat. I knew he was to far out would struggle getting underneath it. But he did a good job under 5 mins in a fucked up blindside
People what you just saw is impossible feat being performed. This is something only those truckers can pull off who are above 99 percentile in skill. Not just experience but skill. I truly am fortunate to witness it.
He did that some people would not understand how difficult this is
Blind side too sheesh
Exactly
On god
Its horrible enough that its right off the street. Then the fact that theres no room for a pull up because of vehicles parked on the road. THEN hes fucking doing it using the side where you cant see where the fuck your trailer is going. He’s literally just sitting in the truck guessing where its going. Fuck that!
You are absolutely right. I am a truck driver, so I know what he went through. He is amazing.
Holy crap that is brutal! Blindside and with a huge truck like that! Its a pain doing that with a single axle day cab , I can only imagine with a huge aerocab sleeper!! That is a real professional right there. Props!

Not me.
Yrs of driving and a lot of patients
He had help do it without help
he didn't need to blindside.
@@markfrederick6202 no one way street he should have drove to on coming traffic
As a driver of 21 years you never know what awaits you. Backing a 53 ft. trailer is one of hardest things you will ever do.
I'm a yard driver , i got yo park over than 150 trailers in a nigt shift , i can tell that, this man is f..... good.
This is how I make my paper, I have to give this guy all the respect in the world. Dude has ICE in his veins to blindside like that. 😎
No disrespect to his skills, but he is what encourages the idiots in dispatch.
Rule #1 always get out and look at least once never trust other people.
I did it twice yesterday doing a blind side parking here in boston airport
GOAL haha.
GOAL is the key
Regardless of Combo-vehicle or a Straight, Box truck
Really good point.
If it wasn't for that damn generator parked on the street, he could have gotten it in one shot.
Yeah for real
And some people can't park their Prius correctly
Daniel G. 😂
Blind backing is a walk in the park. He's very lucky mean spirited drivers aren't crowding him(lol).
Bögar kan inte backa...
Wow just amazing skills! Blindsided in a narrow dock on a busy road with obstacles in the way. With a sleeper and a 53 ft trailer. Nothing but respect driver💯
He did that shit. I have a difficult time parking at a truck stop sometimes. That was a TIGHT ASS alley dock
I recently retired from 42 years of truck driving. I think my nervous system has permanent damage. 😖
Lol
So true
It takes alot of skill to do what that trucker is doing. My hat goes off to her/him.👍
Steve Printy-I had a full head hair before I started driving trucks. Now you can call me Mr Clean with all the stress.
@@phillipnickerson thats right Man here thesame
That's a damn shame we as truckers shouldnt have to go thru aalat that's bs
With that dock, it is amazing that the little lamp post is still there. Good job driver!!
backing from blind side....great job

Definitely a great job seeing how he was forced to blind side it as it was a one was street

This video will always be a legendary feat. Blindside in the middle of a metropolitan area. That’s just insane.
That's my thing --- people don't realize the skills involved in backing up a trailer.....
Too bad his people skills are so bad he didn't want to stand up to dispatch. It's not as if he got extra coin for his effort. THAT I can guarantee.
Especially a blindsided back....I've had to blindside only a couple times but its rare. It certainly takes patience and careful watching.
It's very difficult, especially psychologically. I'm in school for it. And it takes a lot of practice, even after you get it, or else it comes and goes. We only learned straight and left angle. I fear the day I have to back in blind.

That was incredible. Those parked cars were a serious problem. I’m amazed he was able to get it in there with those cars parked there. Awesome job
My respect to this guy his the best
And he did not hit anything,lots of patience.
He is so much more than a steering wheel holder. Thiers nothing but experience behind the wheel in that truck. DAM GOOD JOB
