After watching a dozen or so of your videos I understand why the guys that delivered to my houses were always so happy. I made sure branches were out of the way, plenty of room to turn around, firm ground to operate on and a $50 bill in their pocket for making my day easier when they put the pile of lumber where it would be best for the job. Everyone had a good day and left happy, sometimes with a dozen eggs from my chickens.
This channel is my new favourite binge watch… drama or no drama … I just find it so therapeutic… and I think you have a really great personality … being your apprentice would be so fun.
The long and winding road..... Holy! I'm not sure I'd have the patience to deal with an idiot company like the depot, sending the wrong vehicles to the wrong places the way they do. Good job Mike! Your a trooper!
These people kill me. They want to live in no man's land woods,and expect trucks and other equipment, to just drive right on up. Wow. But, you did it 👏👏👏👏
Delevring construction materiel to private individuals is the worst job for a truck driver . I tip my hat to you , you have nerves of steel and unparalleled jugement ...In one word you are the best !!!
@@SaffordDelivery: Just a bit of advice from a past delivery driver: NEVER leave your keys in your truck, ESPECIALLY with the engine running. Too many mad, crazies out there who could sieze the opportunity to either jump in and take off, grab your keys and chuck 'em, or just put it in gear, release the brakes and clutch, then jump out and run, letting your truck cause major damages, if not, somebody's death, or injuries which leaves you wide open to lawsuits. Stay safe bro.
You have my deepest sympathy with your delivery, s. I used to deliver roofing products and readymix Two of the most thankless jobs i have ever done. Customers do not care or understand what is involved as long as they get what they want❤Ruth
I thought for sure that lady was gonna turn out to be a Karen coming in hot, but was pleasantly surprised by her rather friendly demeanor. I've recently found this channel and have been enjoying the content. I respect seeing a guy doing an honest days work. Keep it rolling. Cheers.
And the reason its becoming so difficult to find people willing to do jobs like this for minimal pay is everyone is lazy and dont want to work anymore.😉
I totally agree. Seems like he complains alot. He says it's not his problem. Well I see it differently, I mean he's the driver, suppose to do whatever it takes to get the load to the destination safely.
it's difficult to find people because you cant take care of your family with the low pay. Pay people enough that they can love on and people will work.
Diamond standard? Why you complaining so much and keep saying it’s not my problem. I used to enjoy your videos but lately seems like all you do is complain.
We are in a world of idiot customers and Home Depot has noting but brain dead Gen Z employees. You ask anyone of them a question and they answer "What's that" and walk away. That's why.
Hi Mike...miss you on LIVE! have you had any lately?? Love watching your skills and logic here in this video. Good call on not taking your rig on a washed out road...sheesh!!!
I don't know if you get paid by the load or by the hour,But I've had to back up on one of those roads With five complete 90 turns and about 6 miles long, it took me every bit 30 minutes to get out of there,Luckily there was only two cars that came through during those 30 minutes.I got faith in you man you can do it.#Super trucker
With the data we have today about roads and traffic you would think that they would be able to send the correct loads with the trucks that can handle the roads.. Extra costs if your place can only take a small truck etc..
@wildone505 hes like in x wife. Every load he fights with someone. Imagine the people that he lives with. They probably all want to commit a felony and make him dissappear. But he ended up finally getting canned. Lol. But watch all his videos you'll see what I mean. Lol.
You can do it. I've backed up a couple miles before. I've even backed into a busy road without a spotter. That doesn't mean I'm a better driver than you, just luckier.
Did the exact same job for lowes. Same machine, same type of truck and it's absolutely insane what customers expect you to do. They expect you to risk getting your machine stuck to get here shit where they want it. People do not understand you are in a fucking semi truck either. The difference is that when I worked for Lowes they always pushed me to go to crazy places to make deliveries to customers. Moffett is a pretty insane peice of equipment tho I've went through some crazy shit with it.
This guy knows his stuff but is a bit inconsistent with his delivery decisions in the videos i have watched he bends sometimes but only if the weather is fine and suits him if you get my meaning. Perfect video he went above and beyond yet this time I suppose it can get to you a bit when faced with Customers who do not understand the problems theses guys face every day.
Ive hauled crude oil for years in the Oilfields in day cabs and big Peterbilt sleeper trucks on countryside county roads. Hauled on many sketchy muddy roads during storms and after storms. Grossing close to 90k lbs in Oklahoma and this road looks real drivable theres plenty of gravel for traction it is actually a perfect gravel rd. I just find it funny that he’s overacting. But I guess he’s a pavement driver so I can’t judge.
@@SaffordDelivery I’ve drove on dirt roads for years and i know how it gets. It’s actually easier to get stuck when you are loaded with weight on the drives than unloaded. I find it hard to believe that road looks drivable. If so your company needs to invest in better tires with open shoulders. Lock your differentials.
@@ChevyLS1454 It's actually a rental and part of the reason why we're aggravated is that communication was very limited to begin with and then had they would have just told me not to drive the truck all the way down there I wouldn't have been aggravated. But the point was if I would have continued driving I would have ended up around to the back of their property with the rig for no reason
If you don't know what's up the road walk down it. I've walked down plenty of roads before driving down them. If you don't want to walk it pack a folding bike to ride on. I have one.
He needs to haul some logs,saw dust, and lumber and he'll figure out what roads are really bad and what he can get up and learn how to get in and out without having a 20 acre parking lot to turn around in.
It is amazing to me that New Home and her ever comes out and at least volunteers to help spot you I mean even if you didn’t except their help for liability purposes I would at least offer hey do you need my help in anyway is there anything I can help you with
I like for videos, but your a bit rude, especially thing that little old lady what you did, and how you did. The load is your problem, your job is to get the load to destination safety, and do what ever it takes.
you think when they cut the road why not make it a bit wider . its likes when cities put in curbs on streets and have 90 degree turns onto streets their not thinking about semi trucks having to use the same roads , planners and engineers just dont think outside the box.
These narrow mountain roads were never designed for heavy semi traffic but when people do remodeling or new construction in a existing residential areas expect semi truck traffic to come though, I wouldn't even put arrived at drop off if you can't get to the drop off, even a smaller flatbeds have areas where they can't go either, customers when they make orders don't come to communicate to the store on where the delivery is going if it's going to be in the middle of nowhere in the mountains or valleys or if it's in the middle of the city. I wouldnt of made the delivery just took it back to the store, gravel roads can be the worst in rainy or snowing weather conditions if the road wasn't graded properly
*Austin Powers voice* We want a toilet made of solid gold 🤣. We have so much back logged content from everything plus new stuff getting edited daily that we can't just let it go to waste.. We are working on some other methods behind the scenes to get more content out. BTW Pennsylvania was a Dud 🥴
Nothing you love more to hear from eirher an employee or someone you're paying than "I just don't care bro" 23 times. Crazy, 20 years ago these dudes were doing this for fun with half the horsepower, deeper potholes and a big set of nuts. I get not being paid so not doing extra but don't complain or wonder why you didn't get a promotion or a raise when the time comes.
I noticed the side edge of the road and the weight of the truck and really soft ground could of gave way..Man you really went above your job and no tip people cant relate to what truckers deal with.
The other 18 wheeler that went to the guys house must took his time with backing up the road and around the cave that you stopped at I would like to see how that truck driver did it
It takes experience I’ve hauled crude oil for years in the oilfields. In the country side county roads during storms in Oklahoma even during tornado threats 😂 grossing close 90k lbs. Some oil wells where real tight but we made it happen. This rd looks drivable and has plenty of gravel for traction looks cake to drive in it. But I guess pavement drivers have different mindsets.
People are so cheap they could have their own forklift right there to take it down the road or wherever they wanted to go and the problem solved rather than ask you to go to back at 16 wheeler down a gravel road
The problem is is like we get paid by the day so all this extra time that we're taking to do this with A no communication B No spotters or assistance C losing money delivery after delivery because of the accommodations that were making and is taking away from other deliveries
I would have thought that the contract should stipulate there should be no obstruction within a certain hight and width, such as any form of tree branches that can touch the load or the vehicle and if there is then the drivers reserves the right to drop the load before the obstruction or return the load to the sender.
After watching a dozen or so of your videos I understand why the guys that delivered to my houses were always so happy.

This dude complains about something in every video
@@oh.....5075 Where is the complaint?
Even than this guy would complain "oh man this guy only tipped 50 and not 100" see us on the next one! Glad u see what I go thru.
Lol
Notice you received no reply.
Real men got it up there.
Ive backed down WAY worse with a 53ft and a sleeper. Didnt cry about it either.
damn bro didnt even say thats not possible, he just admitted it was too much work for him lol
14:30 more crying 😿
This channel is my new favourite binge watch… drama or no drama … I just find it so therapeutic… and I think you have a really great personality … being your apprentice would be so fun.
"I'm not gonna cry about it"
Spends whole video crying about it 😂
The long and winding road.....
Holy! I'm not sure I'd have the patience to deal with an idiot company like the depot, sending the wrong vehicles to the wrong places the way they do. Good job Mike! Your a trooper!
Best to avoid taking directions from anyone wearing an apron unless your in a kitchen...badass delivery
These people kill me. They want to live in no man's land woods,and expect trucks and other equipment, to just drive right on up. Wow. But, you did it 👏👏👏👏
Whine, Complain & Cry..... Perhaps another line of work. We are tough in Connecticut. Blessings
Mike you no how to damper the mood when talking to customer how you have to deliver off road man lol 😂

You did the right choice by turning around to back up in a better way
why did u take the job 2 start with
It would have been nice if this fellow had given you something extra for all you did! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

This is a delivery job. Try finding guys to do the real work as in the parts on the truck. Anyone can drive

@@mitchellmiller112 no he’s not , it’s called curbside delivery for a reason. Anything beyond that is a liability and up to the one in charge
Looks like the Wizard of Oz keep going back there keep going keep going ha ha ha
You should work at the dmv
Improvise, Adapt and Overcome!"
Come drive in the oilfield or haul logs man….. plenty of washout and low hanging branches
If you people ever got stuck with the moffet you would understand, getting your forklift stuck will cause you hours in time and still no delivery.
What ever happened to the shorter flatbed lumber trucks with rollers where they would just back up and pull out from under it and drop lumber anywhere

Have not gone live for a while! Haven't even worked on the other two channels
@@SaffordDelivery awwwww, so sad 😞 have missed y'all 😢
Love your "curbside" delivery!

Paid by the day .. that's why when customers or shippers waste our time we get upset
Oh Yeah,You got to keep the wheels rolling,No time for favors.#Get'RDone
You get paid to deliver it so make sure you do the job or get yourself another job
no point going through all that bs to get it in pain in the ass spots when you can probably get paid more doing an easier job elsewhere
I would've told my boss to get stuffed if I was given this task. Too much could go wrong and the driver is easily assigned all blame/responsibility.
It’s not my problem. 😂
Dude you crack me up thinking that road is bad and washed out. Go drive a log truck for a few weeks and get back to me....
With the data we have today about roads and traffic you would think that they would be able to send the correct loads with the trucks that can handle the roads..
Extra costs if your place can only take a small truck etc..
Bro...if you hate this job that much, find something else.
This dude argues with the wall even. Lmao. Hates life. Imagine how he is at home.
Yeah the guy whines a lot.
@wildone505 hes like in x wife. Every load he fights with someone. Imagine the people that he lives with. They probably all want to commit a felony and make him dissappear. But he ended up finally getting canned. Lol. But watch all his videos you'll see what I mean. Lol.
After all that the guy doesn’t tip you wow most anybody does anything halfway decent at my house gets 20 bucks
Yea really. Went above and beyond on that and no tip.

Sounds like human to me some days you in better mood some days in worse some people rub you the wrong way some easier to deal with
Nope. Wouldn't have backed the rig up there either. That was a frustrating delivery. Hope tomarrows a better day for you Mike.😵
Amazing what some people expect 🤪

See the difference Is that the forklift actually takes weight off of the drive tires and actually causes the tires to spin

Need a wireless backup camera on trailer and view in cab.
This kind of job is good for a flat bed not a long trailer
That's crazy for a flat bed expected to go up that road. Geez!!!
If you don't know what's up the road walk down it. I've walked down plenty of roads before driving down them. If you don't want to walk it pack a folding bike to ride on. I have one.
This sort of thing happens more than you know and it's very time consuming to walk every single road
Seems like your unhappy with your job
He needs to haul some logs,saw dust, and lumber and he'll figure out what roads are really bad and what he can get up and learn how to get in and out without having a 20 acre parking lot to turn around in.
What state is this? Been doing this for 12 years in Southern California run into some wild customers
CT, if you have content you want to share?
Sorry Mike I been ugh busy / since my truck 🚚in shop trying keep back on my schedule lol 😆/ u be safe bro 🙏
Half way my ass. Lady’s husband has convinced her 5” is 12”😂
No matter your driving level if you can back up comfortably you can always drive out…
Bad driver, crying the whole time 😂
It is amazing to me that New Home and her ever comes out and at least volunteers to help spot you I mean even if you didn’t except their help for liability purposes I would at least offer hey do you need my help in anyway is there anything I can help you with
What up don’t you have a skyhook 🤣🤪I had 5 Trucks sold everything and escaped from the republic of calif🙃
throwin in some free tree trimming services there lol
Yes champ another video!!!
I messaged you on Instagram!
Where was the place to turn around?
🤷♂️
I like for videos, but your a bit rude, especially thing that little old lady what you did, and how you did. The load is your problem, your job is to get the load to destination safety, and do what ever it takes.
He’s got a forklift not a magic wand. GFY
Yeah I wish I could say. "Not my problem" "I don't care" at my job.
I agree you need a smaller truck or stop whining chico.
pain in the ass deliveries like this but we gotta do it money is money
Dam that's a long way to drive a fork lift

I could ask you the same

Come onnnn driver its a 40ft trailer you had plenty of room... famous customers words"we get trucks back here all the time"
Yo Mike I was expecting scenes from Pennsylvania. Wasn't expecting Home Depot flashbacks :(

Not bad ⚡️
That's why they sent the best to deliver that load...Hell naw...not me
Hi, friend! Did this grandfather pay you a tip or not? if not, then he was wrong!
I cannot recall
It would be a good investment to buy gloves for cold weather 😆
You are too kind. Stop wasting your time.
I don't know, but I heard that it's easier to back a long truck trailer than is is a short lawn mower trailer. Either way looks dreadful to me.

Ha ha ha just a bit more to go,Bubba,it just a arm throw away Cousin,I’ll get Joey to help ya unload ,ok Bubba.
People are so cheap they could have their own forklift right there to take it down the road or wherever they wanted to go and the problem solved rather than ask you to go to back at 16 wheeler down a gravel road
18 wheeler lol not a 16 wheeler.
Everyone wants to say this guy did,y, and z. Like it sounds like you should have called that guy.
You were up "an unsanitary tributary without the proper means of propulsion".
☝️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re such a problem solver .
Can you please stop your COMPLAINING. GO get a different kind of job.
If you can't back that thing up you don't need to be driving it
The problem is is like we get paid by the day so all this extra time that we're taking to do this with A no communication B No spotters or assistance C losing money delivery after delivery because of the accommodations that were making and is taking away from other deliveries
NO TIP? I would not waste my time and drop people's sh*t on the curb. Bring a bike with you to see how far you gotta go.
I would have thought that the contract should stipulate there should be no obstruction within a certain hight and width, such as any form of tree branches that can touch the load or the vehicle and if there is then the drivers reserves the right to drop the load before the obstruction or return the load to the sender.
The shipper is supposed to pre-qualify the customer but customers will say or do anything to get us to go
@@SaffordDelivery so you have some legitimate contract in place to ensure the customer (shipper) pays you if there is an infringement by the client. 🤙
Yeah all that is set up by the broker
Why you complaining so much. I think your in the wrong business. Your not happy person.
