- Monday January 13, 2025 not a big ship day so things should go smooth no problems right, NO NOT HAPPENING to start with the gangway is broke down at the entrance gate then have to get turned around so once again have to back up a long distance to find a spot wide enough, I’m struggling to find a spot so I had to just do it and hope for the best without going in the water, get turned around and to make things worst it rains, another typical day of being a truck driver #portofmiami #port #cruiseship #carnival #carnivalcruises #trucking #trucker #truckdriver #miami #miamidade #behindthescene #Norwegian
My heart was pounding for you! lol. As a retired driver turn instructor I used to love it out there. Now these days I will pull out on the road in my pickup and immediately have an annoying tailgater on my A%&...Good attitude and patience like yours will assure an enjoyable healthy retirement. Thank you for the great videos!
My son would love it if I got into the instructional teaching or get into safety but I love what I do, I have foster kids and my job bends over backwards making sure I’m available for them, I do work for a great company, not saying I don’t have bad days but from the owner down they are very supportive, I know you miss trucking though, it’s in our blood, thank you for watching and commenting
my father in law would have loved your vids.. lifelong truck driver, in WW two he drove army trucks on the Burma Road ,getting shot at often.. when he got out of the service, he got a truck driving job for one of the big grocery chains, and in those days every truck had three guys in the truck, two helpers. When he would come home from work, people carried money and pocket change in those days. My wife would greet her daddy at the door when he came home from work on time same time every night, which is unusual for a truck driver and he would give her all his change for her piggy banks. Those piggy banks were filled before 1961. She still has those 2 football sized piggy banks filled with change here in 2025. She won’t even let me catalog the coins in them. She acts like I’m gonna put them in a parking meter or a bubblegum machine.
I love your videos, you don’t yak too much, you don’t have music, you don’t have childish, cartoon graphics, you get right to the point right from the start
Thank you I appreciate that, yeah it’s a shame back then we didn’t have technology to document things, my step father who recently passed he drove up till he got sick, but now everyone wish he had documented some of his journeys and that’s how I got started doing this so my kids and my foster kids have something to look back at, you better leave that change alone lol, thank you for watching and commenting
Easy to see an expirienced truck driver like this man, many can't back their rigs up especially to a dock. Great driving skills my man.
Thank you I appreciate that, this job definitely test the boundaries of backing up and we have to be quick, people are impatient and want us to hurry up and be out of their way, I appreciate you watching and commenting
I really enjoy your videos. I too am a truck driver, 27 years. I work for Sunbelt Rentals in Northern Indiana. I deliver heavy equipment like the green, and sometimes orange, boom lifts that you drive past on the dock. I will be sailing out of Miami again in 4 weeks and I will be keeping an eye out for you and your truck.
Yes I’m familiar with sunbelt you guys go in crazy places as well, if you catch a picture send it and add to 1 of my videos thanks for watching and commenting
Been to Miami port twice too aboard the ship ⚓ Always like to see the behind the scenes always like your content Thanks for sharing🚢
Your very welcome, before I worked for this job I would cruise and was always curious as well, thank you for watching and commenting
Thanks for the video...its nice to see what goes on behind scene to keep these ships going..my wife and siblings cruise out of miami 4 times a year or so,just left out yesterday on the Magic
Wow yesterday magic was in terminal F I was in terminal E, never know might catch a view of me when it comes back, thank you for watching and commenting I love seeing people come and go from a great cruise, I saw allot of equipment being put on the magic, not sure if it was sound, video or performance please let me know it was a whole tractor trailer load, the video of equipment will be in my next video
This is really cool to be able to see the behind the scenes of things thanks for sharing. Also dumb question but what are you hauling??
Not a dumb question I am there to get oil or oily water from the engine room, sometimes we get oil, bilge water, oily water or economizer water, I’m glad you enjoyed thank you for watching and commenting
Some smooth driving there.
Thank you I appreciate that, gets very stressful at times and you saw 1 of those moments, thank you for watching and commenting
So relieved that you made it.😅 Obviously or we wouldn’t be watching this video. Your driving skill is superb. Like the explanations you give us when something happens. Would be nice to see another pic of your truck. I am too far away in the world to ever take one.😂
Thank you I appreciate the kind words and I’ll get a better picture lol thank you for watching
We cruise out of Miami a lot, 1 or 2 times a month. I’ll have to look for the truck now. Thx for the behind the scenes look, always wondered how all those trucks got in there….
That’s cool yes definitely if you catch a picture I’ll add it to 1 of my videos, thanks for watching and commenting
What a beautiful view leaving the port 👍🏼
It definitely is, that’s 1 of my favorite views to see, thank you for watching and commenting I’m glad you enjoyed it
awesome video.. Thank you and be safe
Thank you I appreciate that have a great weekend thanks for watching and commenting
Sorry haven’t posted anything, everyone at home is sick except little man, he have a cough, lucky him, I hope to get a video up soon
Cruised from Miami many times and just wait till the luggage starts coming out! That pier gonna be HOPPIN' !What were you hauling/delivering to the ship Bill???
That ship I was getting oily water from the engine room, we take it to a treatment facility they separate the water from the oil and recycle the oil, thanks for watching and commenting
@@WLeon3350 What are your usual loads? What you did with this run I never heard of before.
We get our loads from the ship, could be bilge water, oily water, lube oil, economizer water it all depends what the ship request, typically it’s oily water, it’s waste oil/water from them burning bunker fuel which they can only burn in international waters, bunker fuel is a tar like oil but it’s cheaper to burn than diesel fuel
"MAYBE we won't go for a swim this morning"💀😅 I'm wondering if there were such incidents in the past
I know a driver hit a forklift trying to U-turn and busted his fuel tank dumping allot of fuel, often times port of Miami is very stressful, thank you for watching and commenting
@WLeon3350 i wish you have more protection at the dock, stay safe🙏🏻
Had me on the edge of my seat during that turn.😅
You and me both I didn’t like that turnaround at all, thank you for watching and commenting
I guess Stop signs aren't mandatory in Florida anymore?
It’s south Florida but they are always hiring police officers, being you are already one you should transfer here
What was next to the two explora on the water side
That is a bunker fuel barge, the ship is taking on bunker fuel which is a very thick tar like oil that the ship switches over to instead of diesel fuel when they get in international waters, it’s cheaper than diesel fuel, good eye and great question
what they use all them high lifts for .. window cleaning ????/
No when they need to make any repairs, usually rust around windows or wherever else, salt water creates allot of issues but the ships stay on top of it, also repairs on which side of the ship also determines If they come in port side or starboard side, it’s just scheduled maintenance, good question thank you for watching and commenting
I thought you was gonna go swimming again. They should make an area just for trucks to turn around
Yes I wish I had more cameras to actually show what’s going on behind the truck, back of my tanker was so close to the cement columns I actually thought it was going to hit, I appreciate you following my videos and commenting
Norwegian jewel right that you are close to
That was the Norwegian Gem
How do you tell what space is where your ship is on the dock
Good question we go to this web site bbpilots.com/ and it tells us what terminal and if it will be port side or starboard side and what the expected time of arrival and we can track the ship on www.vesselfinder.com/ so when I park next to the parking garage I’m tracking the ship and I can see it coming in or if it’s still out, thanks for watching great question
@WLeon3350 Thanks for information I like seeing these videos
After watching your last 'nightmare' I can't help thinking back how much time was wasted backing down,coming back up, finding a u turn spot. I know Carnival at least have a Cb radio on board in the Pursers Office, they use it to talk with tour operators on shore before they come into port. Maybe your company could sort something out so you know where you need to be ahead of time . The bridge could communicate to the office what side to in port . It just needs solid communication . Maybe you didn't know this little fact as the idiots in the logistics office don't realise , like you say, they don't think of your logistics when you get alongside, just get it done . Be proactive.
You are right I appreciate you watching and commenting
@WLeon3350 15 years working on ships mate. But thinking about it. It wouldnt make for a good vid if it all worked I guess lol
Exactly
What do you deliver to the port of Miami? Was your delivery for the NCL Gem?
He is picking up oil, water ect
@@mikes7639absolutely I was, you know what’s up lol
Yes and like Mike commented to you I was there to get oily water from the engine room
@@WLeon3350 You take it from the cruise ships? You do one ship each time?
@@Wild19951 load each ship, sometimes we might have 1 load that day or 2 loads and the 2 loads could be the same ship or different ships, another great question
Such a poorly designed port.
It is and anyone that don’t know the port will be lost, we see cars going wrong way against traffic all the time, thank you for watching and commenting
