      Frederic Koning a lot of places have docks like this, all they need to do is ban parking on the streets, and you’ll have tons of room to reverse in

    I hated places like that. That should be a No Parking Zone, but companies dont care about stuff like this & car owners think they own the streets. Iv always hated Ca. Its a different world in L.A. (Or anywhere else in Ca for that matter.) They're not exactly "Trucker Friendly", if you know what I mean. :)

  • @dontswin
    @dontswin 7 лет назад +1

    Looks like it may have been easier to blind side that trailer in that hole. Only thing is you can't see out your back window and would rely heavily on your right mirror. At least you'd have a better view of that car in back of the camaro. Very tight fit indeed. I could do it after my left leg has nearly fallen off tho from clutching. GOOD JOB! Very nice tractor, I drove a 2009 Pete same model.

  • @cwc8979

  • @louisglen1653
    @louisglen1653 7 лет назад +1

    What a nasty place to deliver. Not only did you have to weave around the cars on the road, but you were backing blind into the building. There was no way you could see inside the building you were backing into. Very nice job!

  • @azcactusflower1
    @azcactusflower1 7 лет назад +1

    Since you strive for perfection..lol...no shifting over tracks. :-) In the 90's I was triple placarded on my second box, stopped on I-10 as HP was training a guy. After confirming paperwork checked out okay, he followed me to 51st avenue south. He stayed behind me while stopping for the tracks...and OF COURSE I didn't shift; easy does it. :-) Good job on the dock! Have a great Christmas!

    • @LifeisGood2018
      @LifeisGood2018  7 лет назад

      azcactusflower1 that’s a crazy law, and I’m a outlaw sometimes, I was afraid someone was going to get me for not doing a full stop on that one, but good call on the shifting, I will work on my editing skills 😛

    @123woullard 7 лет назад +7

    You may think an automatic would have been nice there instead of the work out with the clutch, but they don't inch like a clutch. They sometimes grab quick and take off, causing close calls. (Yes, I drive an auto, kw t660. Even though I drive in manual mode, I cuss it every day.)

    Man you would figure they would of build that building using their brains just a little to think about trucks backing in that area. Also don't have anyone parking in your way. They should of make a efert to post NO parking so drivers could back.maby you could say something to the carrier about that. Yeah I love the big Cali 🍊. Good driving !! 👍👍 Thanks for your videos !!!!

      Doug Norris well unfortunately a lot of buildings were built way back in the day when trucks weren't nearly as big. This could be the case but if not yea I totally agree.

      When you put a "No Parking" sign up in California, Oregon or Washington, 10X the people park there. I was having anxiety, because i'm so used to using my hood mirrors, and the Pete here doesn't have any lol. Amazing Job Tim!

      compared to the warehouses that were built in the 40s and 50s in the East and the South, this dock ain't so hard. Instead of a dozen vehicles in each direction sweating him all he had was UPS giving him professional courtesy.
      A straight truck or a daycab with a 53 footer probably goes in there every day with no drama.
      It's just the kind of thing you have to get used to dealing with when you got a what, 290 inch wheel-base. What's saving you is that Peterbilts have a tighter steering angle than KW or Freightliner Classics.

    Do you keep logs of all the difficult docks so you can ask 4 more $$$$ to haul that freight ? Next time
