- Semi-Truck Loses Back Wheels Trying to Turn Around Safety Barriers
A semi-truck lost its four back wheels after struggling to complete a turn around safety barriers in Doral, Florida, on May 20.
Video shared by Jorge L Alvarez documents the large truck struggling to turn as a safety bollard was caught beneath its container, blocking its back wheels. After several attempts to readjust, the driver eventually plows forward, and the truck dramatically loses its hind four wheels in the process.
Alvarez told Storyful the incident occurred when he and his coworker arrived to the office in the morning. He added that it took the whole day for the vehicle’s remains to be removed and towed away.

He definitely destroyed that trailer out of frustration. This guy has some serious anger problems and should not be behind the wheel of a semi.
i dont think thats correct
How would you know that he is frustrated though? How do you even know that the person is a "he"? Lol
@@markjones5757 Dude I can smell the raging testosterone from here. Definitely a he.
@A Crustacean They must not have many females where you're from, huh? I can smell the raging estrogen from this video.
The Exhaust sounds bitchin!!😂🤙🤣
Hats off to the contractor that put the pole there. It held its ground!
bollards ALWAYS win. When installed correctly, there is actually a rebar framing up underneath that actually makes the surrounding concrete mesh reinforce the bollard in place. It's not just putting a pole in a hole in the ground and hoping it will work.
LOL
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Florida is a 'Stand Your Ground' state... You'd have to expect it...
@@littlepeon just helped install hundreds of large bollards. None would stand their ground like this one.
We just plopped em in a hole as per orders.
I'm impressed !
This is what quitting and finding a new career in the middle of your shift looks like.
This is what “I should only ever be allowed to drive again, if I pass a psychological examination (that I have to pay for myself)” looks like.
New career is auto dismantler.
No this is what a $1000 late delivery fee looks like.
@@bluemeanie6395I'm not sure if I'd trust him with power tools.
I know a guy who abandoned his truck in a Colorado snowstorm WITH THE LOAD and flew back to Alabama. Last I heard, he's still driving. 😂
Driver; Dispatch I lost 2 axles..
Dispatch; Ok, can you still deliver? 🤣🤣🤣
Dispatch: So what are you saying? Buy a set with your fuel card and have Loves put em on. We already pushed this ETA once.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup just have to make an adjustment to my log book.
He turned that 18-wheeler into a 10-wheeler in only a few seconds. Amazing talent.
Guess that ole' song 18 wheels and a dozen roses will need to be rewritten to 10 wheels and half dozen roses!
That was a woman driver 😅
Angry, drunk ill eagle.
Better yet, he rolled away and got the F on.
I imagine he saved quite a bit on the turn pike, since they charge per axel and he/she just dumped two of them.
When you think you're having a bad day at work just remember this guy
No such thing as a bad day. You’re in control of your day.
@@harold7888Not always
@@harold7888disagree
As a fellow trucker, i can absolutely attest that this driver is "so over" driving 18 wheelers for a living.
🤔
I've *NEVER* been this stupid.
*EVER*
What we didn’t realize is the next stop didn’t have a loading dock so he was making sure the delivery would be at ground level. 👏
Can we show appreciation for the men who constructed those barriers? They didn't even bend against all that force.
As a truck driver, I 100% understand the mindset this driver was in, total frustration moment, just done with everything. Probably drove all night long too. It's really important to know when to take the keys out and breath, unfortunately this guy couldn't identify that.
Agreed. It's easy for 99% of idiots to comment here how he did a stupid thing, but I can 100% see myself in that situation. What we didn't see were the events that lead to this meltdown.
Come on, so a surgeon can rip your heart off just because he had a bad day? There is absolutely no excuse to what this guy did. I'm a truck driver as well. He just needed to back off a little and take a wider turn
@2138Dude How you compare this to a surgeon is beyond me. That's the dumbest shit and I can't even comprehend how you came to that connection. I also at no point ever defended or made excuses for what he did, I just pointed out what probably happened before what we saw here because this shit dose happen.
@@TheEgg185What a nonsensical statement. There is absolutely no reason on earth to justify doing anything like this. A real man knows how to keep himself from this level of agression.
@@2138DudeNot even the same thing, get in a truck and give it a try 😅. Guarantee you'll think differently 😊...
Employees of the month always show determination and perseverance.
He definitely showed that so I'm sure he made employee of the month!
@@spookgriffith2892 yes and his company was so happy with him they gave him a permanent vacation!
They rewarded him with a permanent vacation…without pay🙃
Those yellow posts should be employee of the month 😂
That’s the best I have ever seen
That guy walking out at the end will NEVER forget that smoke break.
Ha ha good catch!
The fact that he just keeps going is priceless!!!
Just unhook. You already busted the airlines. You weren’t going anywhere and now you damaged the kingpin and the drive wheels.
Not only that, HE BACKED UP TO GET MOMENTUM!!!
What a dedicated driver! He was determined to make that delivery no matter what.
😂
Lots of those are let into Canada...
Even losing the back wheels to make the delivery 😂😂
a smart driver would have came out the truck to see whats blocking his path but when lazy and dumb is a combination , you end up with whatever this driver is... . I mean, I sometimes hit a bump, but if I hit it twice, I get out and look at what the hell is impeding my path.
@@bjvu9460 He knew what was blocking his path I don't know what the fukk he was thinking probably drunk off of fireball shots
That's a professional driver there. He didn't let a simple thing like having no rear wheels stop his progress.
👍🎯
😅😁😅
😂
Hahahahahahahaha
He's an awesome driver btw
Who hasn’t had a work day like this
I never do such thing in my entire career. That's being sensible.
@@jackt1400Not saying you'd actually do this.
@@jackt1400 beta male
Now that is what I call persistent. No matter what obstacle… never give up. Well done trucker, we salute you!
On his resume: I can do things with a semi nobody has ever heard of.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now you have video evidence !!!!!
Your hired!😁
This is the exclamation point on his resume!
😆 🤣 😂
This was a lesson on how to turn an 18-wheeler into a 10-wheeler.
In record time
This was a lesson on how to turn a CDL into and EBT card.
@Pro1er -
Hilarious !!!!
Math doesn't check out.
Just taking it for a drag... Be right back and forth in a few minutes
"Where we are going we don't need wheels"
It would be very interesting if he tried to get to 88 mph without the wheels.
I bet this driver in particular would have been able to do that@@V8AmericanMuscleCar
pretty sure the other end of that pole is also in someone's way somewhere in china .
I like how once the back wheel assembly has ripped away, he drives forward like the problem has been solved, yet secretly must know (in spite of all the adrenaline) he's completely blown it.
😂😂😂
Got to get the yeyo in time! 😂
Nope. He had no idea at all what he just did.
@@TheBeatenPathshe definitely knew because when those rear axles came off, it tore the air brake lines. As soon as they lose pressure, a red valve pops out loudly on the dashboard.
For sure on drugs and oblivious
This literally shows how strong a semi truck engine is
Don’t forget the pole.
Can you show me how strong it is?
@@CrappysHelperLol, wth is that question.
@@JuizeManly_EvoVII Can you show me
Откуда у полуприцепа движок?
If you’re in the market of losing your CDL this This is one way to go out in style
I love how he just kept driving like the back wheels didn’t just get completely ripped off the truck😂
The back wheels (tandems) were already unserviceable when the video started. They were going to have to come off anyway, so he actually saved labor by shearing them off himself.
Resume update: Solves conventional problems unconventionally. Not afraid to think outside the box.
Especially the box meant to safely and securely haul freight 😅
Will not be stopped by obstacles.
He went literally through the box
Well, that went from a minor ding to a $40,000 problem rather quickly.
Reefer trailers like this one easily can cost over $80,000 new. This was his/her last day with this company!
@@christophergblanchard7123 that was his last day driving period. No one is going to touch him with something like that on his record.
@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 Swift will
@@WoodsDog the hell they will.
@Woods Dog funny you should say that. I just finished delivering a walmart and...a swift driver was stuck on two of those pillars in the same situation.lmfao
“Damn you trailer…If I say we are going….then we are…GOING.”😂 killed me how he refused to stop even after the wheels fell off.
The fact that he keeps going without even stopping is priceless!
Crazy how you can turn a minor situation into a crazy situation in just a matter of seconds
Anger
Yeah that's called life
I mean 4th times a charm. If it Don’t make any crazy noise just go
If it does. Same input or more have at it lol
yeah new name for alchohol @@MrSrtman18
The driver shifting gears afterwards is what got me..
😂😂😂😂
lmao shit was funny as hell
After watching it five times I still can't believe it
It amazes me with how much money that goes into our highways, yet we can't make shit better for truckers. You know, the people this country relies on the most.
I love how after he got past the bollard he grabbed another gear😂
If your gonna quit might as well go out with a bang ! Hahaha
Stitches 😂
😂😂😂
@@bighemi57same! 😂
Full send right there!
People, listen: The driver knew what was happening, he had obviously been trying to get out for a while but was immature and aggressive and went into a rage when the trailer started getting torn
The people know that…but it’s more fun to just take the piss
Yeah, just enjoy and don't try and to truck Jesus. He is just a halfwit who should have never got a go
Man I've definitely almost been there at some of the docks I've been to. Just a pure fuck it moment
IF THAT WAS TRUE! I would highly prefer to find a way to remove the concrete poll thing! It would be LESS EXPENSIVE than to lose my damn tires and all that
I can't even spell relax
This is how I feel after a long night to make your appointment time and they act dumb when you get there on time and try and reschedule you two days out.
And they said being a trucker requires a high IQ
I love how he kept going even when his trailer was 25ft in the air. "Everything seems fine to me".
🤣🤣🤣🤣your right,that had me in tears laughing. Back end 6’ in the air and slams down,”Cool,I’m good to go”. 👍🤡
25 ft. ???
This is like the road equivalent of the 11 ft 8 in Bridge before it was raised , except you won’t see too many repeats of this manoeuvre I’m sure
I like how he kept going when there wasn't any axles or wheels under it
Most shocking part of this video: the truck didn’t have Swift on the side of it.
Yep, .those."swing wide" drivers are notorious for shxt like that..
Swing
Wide
Into
Fleeing
Traffic?
Shots fired
@@T1OracleSure Wish I Finished Training😂
CRST
This guy has the emotional maturity of a todler.
"The frustration is strong in this one"
Gives a whole new meaning to “keep on truckin’”
Those safety poles are legendary.
That’s why they put them around gas pumps and in front of stores .
That trailer had to be empty.
Mighty lite
They were in the way, wtf are they, there for anyway
To protect the guardrail, obv. That dude should learn how to drive.@@ME-bw3rl
All safety poles are like that and whoever put them there put them in a terrible spot
This dude has a CDL and he doesn’t understand “off-tracking”
When you absolutely positively have to get it there overnight.
As a trucker myself I can say just because ya feel like running something over doesn't mean you should actually do it......... no matter how bad you might want to at the time.
This driver should have his license revoked and serve a couple of years in prison, after he pays for repairs.
@@dwRS1you’re crazy that’s not worth going to prison over he didn’t hit someone or or do anything warranting jail time he wasn’t drunk or killed someone with his truck he should lose his license and pay a fine but you’re going overboard with it
Sure. I'm against destroying things.
Exactly! Taking a,few more minutes is smarter than trying to get that schedule perfect
@@mo2k638
Maybe he was drunk, we don't know.
I'm not sure how being sober would excuse his wreckless driving.
What amazes me is he still made the delivery in time. Hats off
Did he?
@@e1woqf no way Jose
@@e1woqf well I highly doubt it
@@UTUBE3JC no no he actually went to San Jose😂
Меня удивило то, что человек, снимавший на телефон, мог подсказать, что под фурой есть еще один столб, который может быть не виден по зеркалам заднего видения для водителя. Люди потеряли человечность из за телефонов.
When it absolutely has to be there.....
I love that guy at the end who was left standing there watching a semi drive off without its wheels.
I like how he drove for a few seconds afterwards. It’s almost like he was pretending he made it through and was living in a fantasy, albeit not for very long.
😂😂😂😂
most truck drivers are pretty dumb so I am kind of thinking he really didnt know
Cop pulls him over - "Excuse me sir, but just what in the FUCK?"
He was feeling very gratified and successful afterward. Probably said "Haha. THERE. You bastard, you lose."
@ImJiom, actually, most truck drivers have a college education. You must be a burger flipper 😅
.
Best safety pole ever, whoever did this job did it right 👍.
I think Lynch would be a better crash barrier cone
I drill 8 feet and fill em with concrete .
WE SHOULD ALL FEEL VERY SAFE!
Why do you think they put them around gas pumps .
Polish engineering
Driver told his boss that he really needed that raise!
The driver kept on trucking, even after losing the rear wheels 🤣🤣🤣
The funniest part is at the end when he just drives off and fast, dragging the trailer on the ground as if he didn't just rip the rear wheels off.
He was headed to the nearest Greyhound terminal!
Well i gotta say one thing: the strength of that pole is very impressive.
Is that what she said? 🤔
@Nasty Jenny no I did actually
It had to be copy and pasted from gta 5
No shit the trailer was empty if it was full it would've been a different outcome
If the trailer was loaded it would have shredded and disintegrated everywhere.
This is one of my favorite YT videos... and I don't know why.
Guy standing there at the end - "Ahh, you forgot something"
Legend has it that the trucker is still driving around like that to this day.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah!!! He doesn't drive anymore he's banned from ever driving another truck
He was fired
@@jrns281 No, I just seen him driving up the road in the same wheeless trailer like 30 minutes ago.
I saw this guy on the freeway….Its still going strong 👍
Same although this time it looked like it lost the trailer.
"Rear wheels are overrated. Don't need 'em." 😂
Lol
This has to be the funniest comment section. I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Concrete dude putting that post on top of his resume
I saw him yesterday, he's still driving around with the trailer, it's only 15 feet long now.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Is there a,sequel where he loses the front wheels? 😂
This video is a good example of why filming al videos horizonally from the start is best. Still, props to the camera man for figuring out their mistake and correcting it.
DOT: "What happened to your wheels, junior?"
Driver: "I lost them."
You cam tell he knows what he was doing. You can hear him shifting that truck perfectly
He saw all the damage he had done to the side and thought "F**K IT!" and floored it.
Damn. That trailer was just two weeks away from retirement
Well, he helped it retire faster. Took the tires off so they can use it as a storage container.
It already looks retirement
Kinda friend that always has your back, never backs down, probably has the best bar stories to tell because there True
He made it around the poles! Good job smart trucker. 😂 I love how he keeps going like "well we're off to see the wizard". 😂😂
There goes his career, all of his money, and the little bit of sanity he has left
done on purpose
He was probably driving for another company a week later. You really can't lose your CDL while on private property.
Nah he just got his sanity back lol
He's still working. Trucking companies are pretty easy to work with.
@TheIrishRushin That's good to hear because while he could of prevented this by stopping and dealing with the minor damage instead of what he did, I always wonder about this job. What gets me is how long some of these semi's are and how tight some areas they're expected to maneuver through are, makes me think that some accidents, especially minor ones, are just bound to happen no matter how careful you are.
Such a unique way to slide the tandems. Ive seen missing pins that stop the actuator from working so hats off to this guys improvised method. No more tire wear either. Genuis
His methods are unconventional. But he was able to drive past the spot he was stuck at. Gotta give credit where credit is due.
This is what determination looks like
When you feel like you've lost your mind after a bad day, just remember this guy
I'm laughing at the guy past the truck, walking up to the opening between those buildings. The body language speaks volumes!🤣
That foo said I don’t need axels 😂
Just carried on driving.."it's fine, honestly!"😂😂
We used to have a saying in the military: "You have to be at least ten percent smarter than the equipment you operate."
This particular individual is a living testament to the fact that this saying is accurate. 😂
I like it. That's pure old fashioned horse dirt wisdom. The military has, over the last 85 yrs. or so had some completely hilarious stuff that's painfully true and bluntly humbling.
10% of zero is zero.
US military i presume?
Bro was probably frustrated and I can relate. Probably drove all night and wasn't in the mood for this bullcrap.
Bro likely knew what he was doing, this was done out of pure rage.
Боюсь дурак тут только ты 😮
He takes that saying, "When it absolutely, positively MUST be delivered on time!", a little too seriously.
Truckin gods handle must be sitting duck
In the end he's thinking problem solved now we're rolling!
I admire his persistence
If you want to get fired from a truck driving job, THIS is the way to do it!
I mean, he never even got out and looked. Not once
I know the feeling when Qualcomm gps leads you into "no trucks" area then tells you to find a safe place to turn around
He definitely got fired
The camera rotation before the truck loses it's back wheels was such a nice touch.
this really goed to show how much power those trucks really have

I worked for years in warehouse shipping and receiving, and some of the loading docks, were located in the most ridiculous places, to get in and out of...I always admired the drivers who could negotiate those stupid things...
That was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.
One of the reasons why my dad shut his company down 10 years ago because driver's treated company equipment like shit.
maybe your father should have paid them more.....
I learned a long time ago, that most people have very little respect for other people’s property… I experienced this with good friends and close family members… so just imagine how it would be with strangers! It is a basic human trait… a bad trait…
@@storysofar7426 Totally agree with you. I always compare it to how cars last a long time when only the same driver drives it and and gives it maintenance as opposed to when every family member of the family drives it to "low fuel", etc.
@@liamcelt1321 How do you know he didn't pay them a good amount?
As a fleet manager for a huge German company I can definitely agree. 90% of our drivers don't give a F about the equipment. And they get paid more than fair.
This video helped me with my anger issues
That's what I call an original way to quit a job.
Dam… he said fck it I don’t need those back wheels. Roooolll ouuttt!!! Lol 😂
I like to believe the drive just gave up and went full on with the act
Like dude got so mad he just was “fuck this shit .. you want the wheels .. take it”
🤣🤣🤣
That's definitely what happened. He literally drove away with the tandems gone just dragging the trailer.
Yeah the company holded driver for more then 6 hours and didnt unload him.also there was no toilet...and most important they refused the whole load cause 3 boxes where damaged so yeah the day was great
He drove that trailer another 500 miles that day to deliver his load, what a dedicated driver to get the job done no matter what happens 😂
When he arrived, the bottom and all the cargo was missing. But, hey, he made it!
those things weren't there when I turned in 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Big clap to all the hero's who made the effort to get out and record this situation with their phones instead of coming over and offering to help the guy out. Sleep well at night model citizens.
That dude just decided, "this is the day that I am going to quit, and I am taking shit with me."
That guy is really good at his job... the contractor that installed the pole there, I mean.
He did a good job, yes. But the contractor chose a terrible place to install those freaking things. Those poles were in the freaking way. Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to install them there?!
