I am a school bus driver right now, but am thinking of going into trucking, I watch these kinds of videos as a means of seeing how accidents occur with trucks and how to avoid making the same mistakes, Of course I know a bus is much different from a big rig, and I commend you truckers with all the driving you have to do and dealing with cops, other cars, and weather conditions, your paycheck does not tell your worth, after all, you get supplies to places.
If you're already in a bus you can totally handle a semi truck
I saw that coming. (The straps and the bar) But I love to see truckers trying to help one another
Last year I a bus driver had to go into a gates community, I hated those gates, I always was afraid that sumbitch was going to come down and bitchslap the top of my bus, whoever made those things and their timers is a moron.
4:28 “You ain’t going nowhere baby!” 😂😂
Now THIS is the trucking industry I like to see! :) others helping others.
Helping each other used to be a normal thing to do years ago..not so much anymore..Everyone is just out for themselves..The trucking industry has gone south with so many inconsiderate drivers . .so sad
Finally another real driver ive come across. Helping, with plans A,B and C. Also a proper tug test before even hoping out of the truck. Ill happy tip my hat to you sir!

At least you tried. When I drove for WERNER my home dropyard had a gravel parking in the back. There was a big rut in the back corner and loaded trucks got stuck all the time. We called it the mine field cause it swallowed your drives. I went and bought a tow chain so I could help out newcomers to the yard as they were more likely to get stuck.
Helping other drivers is becoming a lost art nowadays... Good on ya !!!

I commend you for trying so hard. Not many drivers bother. When my friend - let’s call him Bob for chuckles - had his truck’s starter motor go out and the shop wouldn’t open until 0600 (we’re local drivers) we push started it. I should point out a push start is hard on the engine and can stress and warp your rods so don’t make a habit of it. We were just trying to help a friend and if it hadn’t worked the first or second time, we would not have kept trying because it is so stressful on a cold engine. His first load was due at 0500 and our fleet had no spare trucks and he had loads to pull. My mentor told me about how a push start was done and so I made the suggestion to Bob and two other fleet mates who had come to help. We disconnected Bob’s trailer, used load straps to pull him out from under it, towed him to a nearby slope in the yard - it was a very slight and gentle slope but a downward slant nonetheless - and disconnected the straps. With him at the wheel and the two others helping me, we pushed the truck until it was rolling really good and picked up more speed on the slant. Bob had his key turned and the truck in 2nd gear but the clutch in until we got enough speed. When it coasted up to roughly 10 mph, he let go of the clutch and the momentum forced the drive shaft to turn, compressing the diesel at a high enough ratio to ignite it and the truck finally started. He had to run it all day - thankfully it didn’t have an engine shut down timer set - and our driver leader was aghast at us doing this but my friend got his loads delivered (on time) and the shop was pleased we didn’t have to bring it in until the evening. After that, the lot of us push started another truck or two for practice (and for funsies) and then went to Bob’s house for drinks and burritos.
Samara Draven > It doesn't hurt the engine if you put the transmission in high range and let the clutch out, low range usually stops you in your tracks.
This truck had electrical issues beyond the starter..

Happy Days considering we couldn’t get much speed built up, we were concerned it would stall it as soon as it started if it was in too high of a gear. The shop checked it over and said it was fine but not to make a habit of push starts because it can warp the rods over time. Though it’s not like we were gonna be starting the truck that way every day as a bypass for having the starter motor serviced. All that mattered was it worked.
That truck sounds like my 69' El Camino just before I decided time to restore. I just can not believe its a Swift truck, but I do see you aiming at that trailer
I think that it was a nice thought but helped me to see that I need to let the other driver call whoever they are supposed to be calling. You are a nice guy. But my last boss pointed at me and told me I was slow enough and to get to work, lol. Thank you for your time.

This is exactly why I carry a couple tow straps. The load straps aren't meant for this kind of load. I too have pulled out more with less, but eventually you break enough less and should just buy the tow staps.

It good to see someone willing to help. There’s way too many children posting videos laughing at someone else’s misfortune. I’ve been driving for only three years and so far I’ve been accident free but one thing I’ve learned is that it’s a dog eat dog world out here on the road. You’ve got about as many friendly faces as a Junebug swimming over a bream bed does.
All True.....

Unhook from the trailer, back up along side the truck as close as you can and hook the red lines of both trucks together. Leave disabled truck parking brake set and release trailer valve. Release trailer valve in the running truck and it will push air back to recharge his tanks. He pops his trailer valve first when tanks have enough air to keep it from escaping back out then pop yours and disconnect. Now he has air to release his parking brake. Your welcome.
Charles Stevenson +Charles Stevenson The air issue was the last thing to come up... at that point I needed to get going, and after giving it a few attempts it seemed it wasnt meant to be.... there was a wrecker/onroad on the way. I was just trying to ease the traffic flow ahead of time. Thanks for the air line tip, I have only had to do that once before. Not everyone knows that can be done.....
A.K.A 971155
This trick should be known by all drivers but unfortunately not.
Trucker2Chains he should have mentioned his air leak at the beginning. That changes the entire scenario and what options will be available. Of course, many Swift drivers haven’t been doing it long enough to learn the hard way and the mentor program has zero quality control to ensure students learn these kinds of things. I’m thankful every day my mentor was an owner-op with over 5 years under his tires. So many mentors are only a lighter shade of green nowadays.
Oh wow man, crazy.
Shame on the mess!!
After the first time i had to tow a car with ropes i bought a heavy tow chain rated for 10k

Use your glad hands to pump up the other air tank.
You know every time you put a knot in a rope or sling you reduce its capacity dramatically.
Tie a hitch where it will not knot and your slings will last longer.
I usually have the driver in a situation like this put it in 6th gear and pop the clutch to start it. its a good gear to do that in

I would have used a chain.. straps aren't made to handle high intensity loads like that.. Either way, I'm sure anyone would appreciate the help regardless with all the asshats in this profession now-a-days..
Josh Cruikshank At 4:20 you can see we had it going. Straps work good as long as you dont "shock" them. Pulled his truck and loaded trailer that 15 feet or so, straps broke cause I tried to pull his truck out from under his trailer, ( landing gear down, unhooked etc... but he didnt mention to me his air had leaked down to 20 psi, so his brakes were locked....
Ironically the last time I pulled a guy out of a ditch we couldnt get my tow chain out of his bumper... you win some lose some...
Thanxs for the comment !!!
A.K.A 971155
A.K.A 971155 Oh yea, I noticed that it started work, just it looks like your straps broke which sucks, but yea, can't win em all, at least you tried as you put in description.. I pulled a guy the other but we used a chain, went about as slow as you did to get tension, and moved a little faster so he could get starter to roll over.. Good job!
Josh Cruikshank he probably used what he had at the time. do you ride around with chains on a daily basis in you car
+Howard Jackson Josh speaks the truth...
Lost my tow chain pullin a guy out of a ditch... it got caught in the bumper and two of us couldnt pull it loose... all i had left was six load straps and determination ....

Hook your glad hand (red) to his and depress red button fill his tanks....next time lol
Cage the brake chambers on trailer. Easy to do but I'd have Swift climb under there n do it.
Funny.

GOD almighty arranged this divine intervention for you to be held up instead of going down the road which kept you out of an unfortunate circumstance (wreck) in which you or some other person may have died or both ... No sir, this was not an epic fail but a glorious success ... thank our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that this event took place ... be safe be happ but most of all be blessed in Jesus Christ name. ..

SWIFT: So What I Friggin Tried. Nothing wrong with trying. The driver of the disabled truck did nothing to even try to help himself out.
desktop100 that’s right, I mean someone is helping u and u just start at the guys trying... probably thats why his truck is down.
The guy did the hooking up because it only takes one person to do that
no good deed goes unpunished
They did that gate on purpose, I know they have cameras, and that gate been up the whole time, and they slammed shut on that driver truck, I would be making a report on that facility
Theres a sensor... once the truck clears the sensor it closes the gate closes...

You should have hooked your air lines red to red and charged his tractor tanks. Both red valves in. then pull red valves and have him dump air from suspension to take weight off of his fifth wheel. THEN have him release brakes and pull him away for yard dog to get wagon. One day when you can afford it, make sure when you spec out your new truck that your APU has aux. air compressor on it. Not only will it keep cab cozy, but it will automatically cut in when air pressure gets below preset. Could come in handy on a down grade...just say'n...

I had a drive shaft drop coming out of a location with an old tractor and empty trailer. Of course a cop was there getting pissed I parked blocking a lane. Gee officer look at part laying on ground. Oh he says. Than I see one of our steel hauler s go by loaded and knew he would be back by empty. He finally stops on return , he say s "I have no chain" but by that time Im pulling a strap off a roller. Trick is to at least double it and be smooth it wount break , thank s I say and cop leave s .

next time you go and try to help someone move and the air is down. pull beside the truck and hook both of the emergency (red) airlines that go to the trailer together and push in both the trailer parking brakes. some may have to hold the button in. This is a way to air the truck up to release the brakes. May take a little while but it will work. Old mechanic's trick when you dont have a wrench hehehe.
I ran out of time...
But thanks for the comment !!!
@@Trucker2Chains Not sure how the electronic logs work yet lol, but by law if you do not leave a city and you are driving, you can log it on duty not driving. js
I meant after " helping" for just over a hour, I had to go...
I was aware of the air trick just had spent too much time there and the air thing didnt happen till the end...
Just FYI. The leaving the city thing isnt true... if the brakes are pushed in and you are in control of a moving vehicle you should be on the driveline... On the property of shipper/reciever you can generally get around that...
If you get into a accident or pulled over for whatever reason and your NOT on the driveline its your Butt in a Sling !!!

Drop the trailer,, crank it up & drop the air bags,, take all the weight off, put it in 3rd or 4th gear & pull. The starps are plenty strong for that.. I've done it a few times. but usually the truck you;re trying to pull start has an air leak so by the time you do all that you have no air.

All you people criticizing him for not unlocking the wheels of the disabled truck with his truck, here's the appropriate response: So What I Friggin Tried.
I think the truck being pulled wasnt even in neutral though.
you might can pull but you can't back up
All you had to do when dropping the trailer was give the landing gear a couple more turns then on your dash dump you airbags on your drives and it would have take. The trailer weight off. Is this normal when it comes to one swift driver helping another lol. Glad you helped but that’s kinda the blind leading the blind isn’t it. Atleast your heart is in the right place.
His air had already bled down.... bsides his electical problems he also had a bad air leak I didn't know about.

After all the crap we went through the wrecker was about 10 minutes out or I would have pulled along side and charged his air from my truck before caging his brakes.
I guess I should have attended "trucking school"....
Thanks for the comment and I appreciate you watching !!!

I figured there was a point to the video but how wrong I was!

Maybe it was, even if you try to help it doesnt always work out...
Or, maybe if I wasnt concerned about running out of time on my clock I could have stayed and done more...
Or, maybe it was to show that some drivers out here do still try to help other drivers even though it may cost them time and energy...
Or, maybe it was to show new drivers that other drivers will help you out...
Or, maybe it was to show that Swift drivers arent all bad like people think...
Either way, if your reading this I got you for about 30 more seconds so an even 10 minutes of your life and we can call it even...
But go ahead, I will give you the last word...

Not to be a smart ass but did you really expect to pull the tractor if he lost his air pressure and the brakes set . My hats off for you helping that’s fantastic! Maybe it needed a little cpr mouth to mouth
At first he had air pressure and the brakes were released...It was only after the security arm came down that his air bled down to where his brakes wouldn't release...
Thanks for Watching...

I would never get myself involved in this. Let him call repair service and get towed. This is way to unsafe.
Yeah & sit & wait for some overpriced tow service to show up & not have the right equipt. to do the job, then they call in for the right equipt. after you told them what you needed in the 1st place, contiinue to block the driveway, There's a time to do something or a time to be ol Safety Milan,, I work with guys like that.
No wonder these guys are always tearing shit up, did you hear that engine, I thought it was my weed eater. LOL.
Phil's Midwest Classic Cars That "weedeater" sound was 4 metal loadlocks rattling in the metal holder...
My maintenance records impress even the highest level mechanics...
And the three load straps are the weak link in the equation... they break before anything else to prevent "tearing shit up "
Thanks for the comment and I do appreciate you watching !!!

Yea, no biggie. I did like 2 years with SWIFT until I found out they were screwing me out of my fuel surcharge. They did try yo settle with me but, but I still would have lost a lot of money. I walked away & tried taking them to court hoping for a better settlement. That didn't get no where but they did keep calling me up trying to get me to come back. Naw, don't think so. Sold the truck & found a company job paying .46 a mile. Happy as hell. That all happened about 10 years ago.
Not sure what you are asking me...
8 years, 2 leases to completion... owned of the trucks... 1.2 million miles....
I never got screwed out of anything.... you have to watch your settlements and if somthings not right you call them up.... its a big company, nobodys perfect....
If you are looking to start a new career get with me. My new companys pretty cool, 12, 000 dollar sign on bonus, salary with a year end bonus... check out my valley transportation videos....
If you call them up, tell them 1735 sent ya !!!
