For those fellow four wheelers out there, that brief shot at 2:28 is why you stop at those big white stripes at intersections, not past them, and especially not in the left turn lane. Those lines are to establish a clear turning radius for turning traffic, and big rigs need more of everything - space, stopping distance, etc. Bozo in the burgundy pick up is just begging to get his front end reworked. Much respect to the truckers out there keeping the stuff we need getting from A to B.
2:28, perfect example of why people should wait behind the stop bars at intersections. I love the camera angles. The only negative thing I would say is at 9:55, those straps should be inside the rub rails.
I thought Bonehead was for bonehead mistakes and plain stupidity, he is a skilled driver didn't put it in the ditch. I see a professional driver not a bonehead. I'd like to see Swifts drivers try to back it.
@jerry sack Is that why bonehead truckers has more videos on idiots backing at truck stops and docks than anything else other than flip flowers? Come to US Salt in Watkins Glen NY and watch em bend their trucks up backing into the docks there, if you can back it in on the first attempt I'd be surprised, haven't seen a driver that could yet.
@jerry sack Didn't say you can't back a truck and trailer, bonehead truckers has a lot of video of drivers that can't. I know in NY you have to have 5 years OTR without a violation to run doubles. If you have ever been to US Salt its on Seneca lake the sun is glaring off the lake and you have to back into the dock of darkness , they have a green light in them holes those guys back into. I didn't drive OTR, just 10 wheeler with equipment trailer with dozers, and excavators from site to site. I could almost bet you have 10 to 20 or more years experience driving you're not a driver we will see on bonehead truckers, making mistakes or in flip-flops. Drive On stay safe more idiots on the road than professionals today.
@jerry sack you made a real genius, broad sweeping remark that "backing up is the easiest thing to do when in a semi." Not that backing up was the easiest thing for YOU to do. Your statement implies that it's the waitress for everyone. Derp.

With a longer wheelbase I can throw all the overhang in the front and have no need for oversize.

I've hauled mulch a lot and it's one of the few things you have to weigh every time you load it. It soaks up the rain, I picked up 18 skids once and scaled at 45k. Then after two days of rain the guy only loaded 12 and said it's been heavy. Turned out it was 52k with just 12 had to take off more it's nuts.
i live in new braunfels texas next to the union pacific mainline... about a month ago watched a train go by, counted 32 flatcars loaded with lumber... looks like we ought to lay off buying it for a minute, decreased demand equals lower price
There's no shortage of anything. It's hyperinflation coming on strong. Printed too much. GDP/debt is off the cliff. The dollar isn't worth shit anymore.
It isn't near as bad as you might think provided the guy behind the wheel knows how to drive. The biggest issue I've encountered in a longer frame tractor is the shitbirds that match mirrors with me in the tiny tight pilots instead of going all the way back making it a PIA to get out in the morning.
Thanks for trying to get the word out, I'm a Superintendent for a VA DOT headquarters and it has been 100 times worse since the Covid hit, drivers have no concern of getting pulled over and are driving faster than ever. DOT workers have one of the most dangerous jobs. Condolences to all families who have lost someone who works on our Highways.
What does your comment have anything to do with this video? Plus your comment about DOT officers having the most dangerous law enforcement job is BULLSHIT. If you're a real DOT COP you're probably a real ASSHOLE. Y'all are nothing but revenue cops making life harder on the driver.
Sorry ,the video changed and I commented before I realized, I wasn't talking about DOT officers, I was talking about the folks that work on the roads for everyone.

I have yet to get an answer when I ask this question to the driver's that have those tall gear shifter...what is the reason for letting other truck drivers see you changing gears is it the "look at me factor"🤦🏼♂️

I always get a good laugh when I see these drivers with 360" stretched wheelbases sporting 170" custom ARI Legacy sleeper boxes pulling 53'ft flatbeds doing local work. I can see long-haul drivers hauling commercial jet engines, or military loads making thousands of dollars per load having these trucks, but for a local haul like this that only pays $300 bucks makes no sense whatsoever. Getting into the large box stores with these super long trucks is not that bad, but try delivering Ace Hardware or Do-It-Best Centers you can just forget it. My truck with 230" wheelbase and 72" sleeper is doable with most flatbed work but when I switch to local LTL freight work with a 53'ft longbox bumping docks or making deliveries in residential neighborhoods is nearly impossible. Hauling Pre-stressed concrete Double-T's or wall panels for parking garage structures and logistics warehouse construction, these loads are often 12'ft-15'ft wide x 40'ft-70'ft long and would beat the driver to death in a daycab so a long wheelbase is necessary with these loads.
My truck has a longer wheelbase and I pull a 53ft flatbed. Can get the truck anywhere that you could in a 242wb truck. Its not the truck its the driver. Seen people with 242wb trucks can't get into places.
I drove an old black Scania with two Eminox exhaust stacks on it doing UK-Italy work in the 1980's,Fecking thing drove me mad with the racket......no air-con either so you needed the roof open and or a window,but it was irritating as hell.
I am hauling for Menards. It has slowed down a lot now. I think it is because people can not afford to remodel their homes because of the price of lumber.
Am I the only one who thinks you can drive what makes you happy? Plenty of long haulers have to do multiple drops a day, and in tight spots. Do what makes you happy. Sometimes driving those little pickup size tractors aren’t enough for a professional driver. If size is an issue then don’t be a trucker. Drive safe.
There never was a "shortage", just as back in the 70's beginning with a "shortage" of Oil, which was legitimate, but, followed by Sugar, Coffee, and, many other commodities, gouging was, and, is again rampant!!

They should be, but it's not possible all the time
I've been making delivery to ace and home depots, with a 290"wb freightliner and a 53' quad axle curtain van.
What a great match, that truck and a flatbed trailer! Love it! Keep up the good work!

best way to drive stretched have a direct switch to trailer bags and dump the air when you need to make difficult turns
with spread and tight axles
Jake brakes and rain do not a good match make. Be careful!!!
