- Hello guys! Come along with me as I go through the GTA to get to my delivery, except I go to the wrong spot!!
2006 Peterbilt 379
CAT C15 MXS 650hp
B-Train Flatbed Trailers
Drove B trains for over 3 decades. Most of our deliveries were easy in/easy out (gas stations etc.) but any time I had an unfamiliar call and/or a place I couldn't see an exit from, I'd go for a walk and scope it out first. Nothing takes the "good" out of a day quicker than "Oh Oh!" 😄
Oh yeah I try to do that every time too but I had nowhere to park beforehand this time. I scoped the place out on Google maps beforehand but sometimes ya don’t know what entrance they’re going to want you to take so you just kinda guess!
i like saying uh oh, makes the day more interesting 😅
Some places you may not have to pay anybody to unload it when you get back to your truck.
I got out to look with a 53 foot trailer, walk in and hope there was security to let me know the process for morning delivery.
I do the exact same I dive A trains even if I have to block the street for 5 minutes I just put my hazards on and go for a quick walk learned that the hard way
I have full respect for u, someone that can back b-trains like it's a pickup truck and trailer, and work under pressure plus work in tight spaces with a semi is a legend to me. I can take advice from my dad and u when it comes to driving a large car, someone day I can use it.💙👍
Awesome video. I know I wouldn't be that calm backing a b train up. But I know a couple guys that pull doubles and triples, and when they have to back up they use a drone. They send the drone straight up over top of their truck, so they can see cars coming from both directions and also see any blind spots nearby.
I've only been on b trains for two months now. My first real challenge was after the first month I had to drop them off at a small garage on a rural road for service. Ended up having to blind side them off the road around their parked cars, between the shop and another trailer, a whole lot of getting out to look. Major kudos here.
i say some of those cars that parked right there sure move on the spot where they work at cuz the job site sure have parking spot cross from them also a truck back up or around into the area
Dude.. You are one hell of a driver. Backing those B trains up like a champ. Would have taken me hours to get out of that predicament. You're a true pro.
You have one of my favorite 379s on RUclips. You seem to really take pride in your job, and care about your equipment! Stay safe out there!
Just watching you backup gave me heart palpitations! hahaha. You have full respect from me too!
How anyone can back up a B train seems miraculous to me!!! RESPECT!!!!
It's actually alot easier than you think. Backing A Trains is another story.
The best thing you did was not get excited when the pressure was on. Well done sir👍
Sometimes when I’m struggling with something I just watch one of your backing videos. It’s makes whatever I’m doing seem easy by comparison haha. 😊
Always a pleasure to watch a pro at work. Nice backing!
Just discovered your channel today and I love it!!! Great to see you in the GTA!!!
Your videos - especially these where you negotiate brainless 4-wheelers with 100% cool and safe manner - should be mandatory training material for all new drivers. Absolutely perfect driving.
Excellent save! And nice that it wasn’t your regular trailers that went over the curb and threw the grass and mud.😜
You got that right!
I delivered some of the utility poles inside that fence with a stretched out trombone trailer and a tri drive self loader . Well done getting around down there
I bet you didn't drive all over the grass like LiveBottomPinder though.
Its so satisfying watching old truck doing dirty work...new truck should remain clean..old truck should stay dirty..🤘🏻
Don't think there is a place you can't get into/out of Matt. Well done, Norm in England, UK.
20 years of pulling B trains I always walked in first, so I didn’t get in those positions. But it always seems to have a way of happening know matter how much you prepare. Nice job backing out.
Walking is good for you both physically and mentally. Relieves the stress.
Been there many times. It's even more fun with another 3 or 4 trucks making deliveries.
I was lucky and told ahead of time to get unloaded at the cul de sac.
Lucky man! Haha
Respect to you, you kept your cool through the whole shit show
Good job driver , as long as you stay calm in situation like this you can get in and out of anything, #supertruckerrrr
Haha, always check first... Especially with a longer combo. Well done though - over the blind side, and no rush.
I feel you man. This is why I quitted trucking. I used to drive lowboy and they will send me to place where trucks have no business of being or send you to the wrong jobsite. Too stressful.
I’m so stressed just watching I had to fix me a drink.
Dude, been to that place, crazy busy and no room. Hated going there.
Well done getting out of that pickle.
I never had the urge to want to even try B trains. On that intersection you said “can’t take that lane” I would have 100 percent taken that lane.
Also, would recommend getting a steering wheel spinner knob. Makes quick turns with just one hand while shifting so much easier and smooth.
I deliver there quite often in the summer months when we're hauling lots of brick. As soon as ur said u were on eglington and going to Jane I thought to myself oh boy he's going to skycon and he's gonna turn into the driveway with thos trains lol. Good work tho man!
That would have been a get out and walk and talk situation for me, hate getting in tight spots I could have avoided
Whewww is right. Had me sittin on the edge of my chair!!!
Man, I love everything about trucks. Can’t wait to own a Pete like that day.
You need a doctor
this is my fear when it comes to trucking. i only drive a 26ft box truck and situations like this make me want to die. i think i would actually die if i ended up in the same situation on a big rig.
Nice job buddy you got some skills for sure 💯
I was pretty good with a 40' trailer (UK), but two trailers 😳. That was some reversing buddy 👍🇬🇧
The streets that were mentioned in use to know them well but I have not been in that area for many many years and it looks so different
You got talent few can achieve
That place is a pita even when you unload in the cul de sac. At least everyone seems to work together to make the best of a bad situation. So glad l don't go there in the winter with snow piles to deal with.
places like this are when i loved my cab over and single 40 footer
I'm New to Your Channel
Wow!
Awesome Articulation!
No Boring Automatic!
Take Care Brother!
That might be worse than pullin into the mall !
😂😂
I deliver to Senso Building supplies all the time with 5/6 axle flatbeds for drywall. The second I saw you turning into the exit, I was yelling at the computer. Nooooooo. That area is such a shit hole!!!
You are not the first guy to get on the grass Matt and we all know backing out of there would not be a problem for you
broo you are a bad ass for doing this shit in toronto. i drive a ford f750 bucket truck and chipper in Toronto/Etobicoke for work and sometimes it is mirror to mirror on some streets. hats off to you buddy. savage
Loved my super b,s I had back one up in Sumas for a guy that just started, he turned on the wrong street😎
first video ive ever seen from this trucker, I'm gonna sub already.
Told myself I was gonna get my cdl but idk after watching ur videos
WOW . . now I know why I never drove a B-Train.
Man I know it doesnt compare but I cant even fathom how you backed that out. I've tried to back those in American Truck Simulator and always fuck up.
Look at that, a B Train from the company I work for! I haul the new Lode King trailers from the manufacturer back to our yards in Ontario! A tight spot but you pulled if off!
Did you bring in a loadking 5 axle super-b into Chatham around mid-late December?? Just wondering lol
@@callthemall Actually my dad did. We both work for the same company. When he was doing that I was taking a B up to our yard near Montreal.
Ah very cool very cool… tell your dad to watch my next video 😉😉😉😉
Mission from hell? Love the turbo's 😍😍😍
U was good it was the spotters fault the grass got messed up
I got my hazmat and tanker endorsements. This definitely makes me want to bypass the double/triple endorsement.
i was literally in that area 2weeks ago and did the same thing! lol I was suppose to go to city yard which was your first entrance lol its a tight little rd, turn around was good saved my but!
Definitely well planned area for deliveries.... could have like 15' of more road to accommodate Semis
Good job!🗽😁
You got good maneuvering skills my friend
I have a 389 with a bigger sleeper and haul 53' tandem and tridems for Loblaws. My area is generally Montreal. Many are not designed for my size truck, can barely get a daycare in some. Not fun.
I miss shifting those gears. All they give me to drive now is an automatic transmission.
They definately need to move things around!
Our at least extend the sides of the road for everyone. Fully loaded trailer ripping through the grass and dirt is definately Harder on the trucks and the property
It almost makes you want to split the trailers up and rehook them
All I can say is that you have greeeeeeeeaaaaaat skills bro 💯💯💯💯
I find no truck signs, usually mean,
"there's a reason to not take a semi there"...
It's always better to...get out & ask b4 entering unknown areas
That spot looked like hell man. You did a good job though.
Damm your good man just unbelievable good. Keep up the great work. How's the house coming along? Any updates?
Yep I have an update video on my second channel coming out this afternoon!
@@callthemall oh hell yeah driv,ah
Every time I watch your videos I can’t help but smile 😃
Your just a bad ass dude all the way around. Lol!
#nuttinbutathang
In future I'm gonna be professional EU truck driver, but damn bro -YOUR VIDEOS💣👏🙌
I feel like technically I could drive one of those but I don’t think i could handle the stress end of it
Figured as soon as you turned off Jane you were heading to senso. I deliver there sometimes.
thanks for the ride.
When I could see the plate on the puppet. It was getting tight
@callthemall may you please assist with the tips and tricks of backing up B trains.
Love your personality, truck , videos and music…. Have you ever been to Tennessee?
Yep back in my OTR days, Knoxville Flying J was my go to for the night!
Do you still do your music ? ….. dude, there’s a light in u that shines like the sun !!!! PEACE
One of these days I would love to try b train I run gravel train now but wanna try my skill out
You should be a hospital cause your full of patients well done. Ps what is your drive line
Its been a while but I appreciate every vid
Nice work driva !
Major distortion at the very beginning. He's doing about 80-85 mph. Got to fix this!
I would never go into high gras without looking if there is something under ist, got 2 popped tires after didn´t something like that :D
Yepppp not my favourite way to do things that’s for sure
no grass was hurt during the filming of this episode,lol.
Can you post a how to video on how you back up B trains. I was just given a set at work and pulled into a driveway yesterday and had to back down the entire road to turn around. More stress than I enjoyed lol
Flatbedder just practice backing up a lot. Straight backing b trains make small corrections. When backing around corners learn to use all the road particularly setting up your rear trailer initially makes all the difference . As you progress you will get a feel for the positioning and angles to get the b or super b into some very tight spots. Don't ever be ashamed to stop and get out and look if you don't know your clearances. Better a slight delay than filling out an accident report because I didn't look.The front trailer is the steering for the rear and the tractor at times has to do an extreme angle to initiate or correct an angle provided there is enough room to manouvere, but all that comes with experience. Good Luck. Ps I have had at times had to parrallel park a b train but that came with a lot of previous practice,
Only two places you can't get out of if you can get it. Death row and a casket.
well done!
I'm guessing you have a mean sweat up lol
Hard driving in the city
Wait I thought there was only 1 highway in Canada
The lorry sounds nice was it a two stroke diesel
Why do they call them B-Trains? I only ever pulled cattle wagon and reefer
B train another term for doubles?
i hardly ever ask for spotters, i cant stand them throwing their arms up waving all over yelling and making no sense, hell of a hole you had to back out of lol glad ya made it
Nice!
are they ""easier" to back than pups?
Do you truck through America to?
Make America great again
How long are B trains because our b doubles 25 metres in Australia
In Canada you are allowed 27.5 meters or just under 90' 3".
Hi come to Luna's truck shine in Eloy az 💎
Why don’t you drive a cab over, that would give you more room in those tight spaces.
Join the club...
What is that gauge on the mirror for?
Fuel pressure, having some intermittent injector issues
The view from the cabin is not so interesting. A view from the outside would be so much better. Much more difficult to do but better.
