TIGHT TURNS IN A SEMI TRUCK - THE ULTIMATE COMPILATION
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2020
- If you've driven transport trucks before, you'll know that they need a LOT of space for making turns. Usually more than what the painted lines will give you. You have to plan your approach with almost every turn, and often take up the space of the left-hand-turn lane you're approaching. Sometimes traffic gets it and gives you space, other times you have to get a bit "creative" in telling other traffic you're going to need their lane. All in all as long as you come home with your bumper straight you're doing alright!
This is a mix of a few different tight turns I've made. Some you may have seen in my other videos, others are exclusive to this video! Some are easier than others, some are lucky there was no traffic around!! Haha anyways enjoy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Your channel is perfect. No music, no editing, just straight video
Thanks man!
I agree with that dude ......Music will kill any truck video dead 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
I agree, many hope to be able to drive a truck someday, but some will never be able to. With your channel you give the opportunity to many to continue dreaming, ty man
My gawd was there a short cut ??, love vid.
Gappie Al Kebabi agree yes i
When it looks easy, that's because hes good at his job.
It looks easy because it IS easy swing wide watch ur trailer call it a day. It's just driving a truck not flying a spaceship. 🙄
@@valentnoburnette3350 but not any old person could do that. You still need practice.
@@johnnyrocket6588 exactly, like 75% of Americans don’t even know how to drive stick! 😂
@@xQuandaleDinglex 82%*
@@xQuandaleDinglex lol because all cars in America are automatic. America is lazy when it comes to that.
Might not have gotten a wave back from that Freightliner driver, but ol dude walkin down the sidewalk gave you a big thumbs up at 4:58! He respected that beautiful turn!
Yes😂
Maybe if it was a classic freight it would have haha
He actually commented on this video haha!!
Does every destination for him include driving through the smallest towns in history? Super impressive and so satisfying.
If he's driving in PA a lot, I'm not surprised... 99.9% of PA is tiny towns with narrow roads
@@corsicacommander8371 _Really_ narrow roads, littered with tarsnakes and potholes.
@@NaruSanavai haha tarsnakes, love it when that word is used
Don't try Europe haha
Actually the answer is no. But he does it anyways for his content and our entertainment... good old gandalf with his magical stick
I drove in the early 90's. I give you a thumbs up for just the turn at 4:55. That was flawless driving!
Agreed! that turn was money!
Bro my turns in ATS always be like that, but I always find a way of hitting someone, with my trailer ofc
@@engineergaming4295 then your turns aren’t like that at all + bet you drive in auto
Its satisfying to see 4 wheelers recognizing ahead of time that the semi will need the clearance and stay back
It’s rare. People always pull car lengths over that white line lol
@@OutSkirtz I'm one of those that watch out for them. We have a four way stop light in front of our walmart and Kraft is on the other side of the intersection from walmart and I sometimes see a semi coming up and getting ready to turn and I stop some back so they can easily make the corner. About 90% of the time the truck driver waves to me
I’m the same way. If I miss them and see them needing to come by I just try to get out of the way. Working in residential areas where lots of home construction going on it’s tough on the guys taking heavy loads on streets meant for 4 wheelers.
I thought that was common sense to people but i was proven wrong time and time again
I don't think he delivers stuff, he just drives into small towns with an empty trailer for fun
Actually he does if you look in his mirrors
Looks like some expensive wood he’s got
He legit got a wood flat trailer and is just driving around
Everyone who has commented so far... r/woosh
@@aaronsprojects9622 right over their head 😂😂😂
Awesome vid. Satisfying when you make a tight turn and clear it
Don’t need your daily diary, hehe! Nothing new
Especially when the tandems only a few inches from the curb
I wouldn’t imagine he’d have a job for very long if he did this too many times and didn’t clear it 😬
@@mitchharris6546 you're right😂
Damn good driver..been years since I drove..I miss it...keep up the good work rock star!
For the non truckers, when we say the highway is the easy part, we mean it.
Just got my cdl and you aren’t lying still getting used to turning and being in the right gear before making the turn😅😮💨
That's some mighty fine driving there, DRIVER.
My husband has been driving 28 yrs and I have to say Dude your one hell of a truck driver al ready. Love to watch you're Channel , Like that you're not cocky you're cool and respectful you'll go along way GOD BLESS
Respect to all the truckers out there. I could never do this. My anxiety would take over
It's hard for sure.
Same. I drive a moving truck sometimes for work (I work for the board of elections and service voting machines) and I would never be able to do a semi.
Over time it gets easier. Just gotta practice.
I love how you just drag b trains down tight ass alleys and side roads like its no big deal...almost as if you were taking grandmas honda to the corner store for milk. Keep it up man
You make it look so easy. What a pro. Your truck sounds so sweet.
I like how you make a point to wave at the drivers that give you the space.
Driven 379s for 15 of my 20 years.. I seen and took some really tight turns too. You handled your 379 like a true professional. Good job and keep up the excellent work. Drive safe driver.
It really helps when the car drivers have a clue and try to make room!
Love the videos man. I'm a rookie, graduated school in March 2023 and have been driving for my company for three months. Almost my second month on my own!
Love the vibe of this trucker, how he acknowledges the ppl that drive right.
I am the same way when another trucker doesn’t wave back. (These days, it’s not uncommon).
I have to admit I've always been too concentrated on the roads to notice people waving at me, although maybe it's not so hard when you're not dealing with Atlanta traffic. Maybe it's time to get a CB radio to make up for it hah
@@noscopesallowed8128 definitely!
I was enamored by that engine, wow, spoolyspooly xD need more
All diesel engines require extra compression for spark!:)
@@mr.mahoney I am familiar with how internal combustion engines work, but thankyou xD as someone who lives in the uk we don't really get loud turbos lol
The fact that you take the time to wave to people that give you the space is just fuckin awesome. You’re the man🤙
Dam I love the sound of that powerplant!!! Beautiful piece of driving sir!!!
You are so frikkin good at this. What gets me the most is your humility. You wave at everyone ! Lol
Probably the friendliest truck driver I've ever seen. Good job.
That first turn onto 35 you made i hate that intersection in a car. Well done! My soon to be wife's mom and dad live that way
Love it man. I start the CDL class Monday and getting more excited for it as the day approaches!
Best of luck!
@@callthemall thank you!
just an update, I got my CDL :)
If we could just get the traffic to to cooperate in the cities and towns we'd be a lot less aggravated.. lol good job either way. My old 379 doesn't have those fancy power windows, locks or mirrors, I wish it did.
I'm doing my class one as we speak, done June 5 2024. I can't thank you enough for this video . Your driving skills are sure showing me what it takes to be a professional truck driver.i can't even believe my eyes when I watch this video 😅truly amazing driving .thanks ones again, man, for such an amazing job.
Omg these guys are straight savages for driving these huge machines ! I got anxeity watching it. People just don’t give Af and continue to drive in his way it’s scary!
Now that’s a professional driver!
When you can see the end of your B train in your mirror...it is soooo far away! Awesome.
The most patient respectful drivers
@3:10 you always know a good traffic engineer when you see a indented left turn lane so tractor trailers can make their turns.
I love the long, shiny gear sticks of those trucks!
So incredible how you maneuver those corners when driving a long nose with low visibility and shifting while doing so. I wish to be as good as you once I ever get that kind of truck. Currently driving the latest Cascadia for a company.
We all start somewhere, driver.
Is it worth truck driving ? Money wise ?
Wow. When you drive downtown it is like having an elefnat in a glass house. It is very pleasant watching you driving.
This has got to be the most respectful town I have ever seen. People are aware and attentive. Sure to leave space or know when to get out of the way.
Then, you’re riding around waving at everybody like a boss.. I love it! 😂
Get out the way 4 wheelers big boys coming through 🚛💨💨
You’re a beast. Thank you for being smart! Great driver right here guys!
Have never seen your videos before, but I’m watching along and all of a sudden, I realize I can pick out some of the towns your driving through! Awesome video!
I love the way you incorporate the mirrors in to your videos. Well done sir!
Thank you!
Damn man that truck is amazing. And you're a good driver too because you stay calm. Patience when waiting for a proper and safe set up, yet aggressive in your execution when the moment presents itself.
I really like to watch this kind of videos, just the sound of that big engine and clear shifting, keep up the good work bro!!
You are a heck of a great driver. I give you lots of credit. From 1 truck driver to another. Stay safe bro.
looks like the back roads of Pennsylvania, plus no place to turn around if you miss your turn.
I was thinking the same thing , until it was confirmed 13:52 .
Some clips were in the us and some were in canada
This was actually really therapeutic to watch. Great driving!
So satisfying watching you drive that beast
Nice Peterbilt and great skills. Love the turbo whistle and sounds like a beast.
So satisfying to watch. I just drive a 24 foot 5 ton around a city, not a semi, but man sometimes people do not make it easy on ya "the stop line is back there for a reason ya jackwagon!", I can't even imagine how bad it can get in a big rig!
now that's what is called 'handling it'...great driving bro!
Gosh dang it !!!
Finally a vid making us look good !!!! 🤝🚚🚛🛣
Wow, those chrome gauges and that sound.. beautiful truck man.. a real cherry
I do a lot of 2 lane roads hauling agricultural commodities. You have to own the road. It would not be the first time some impatient 4 wheeler passed me in the soybeans as I back in a farm lane. Good work showing the labor involved keeping in on the pavement and off the poles!
That engine in my headphones sound like a symphony of angels bro, badass driving, driver
Great turns especially tight blindside's 👍 ...
Every person that drives a regular vehicle needs to watch this to realize how much space a truck driver needs. The lines on the road for where are you stop are there for a reason.
Man, beautiful truck so your driving.I definitely learnt from you.Thanks bro.
It's always so satisfying making these turns
Love it!!! And the waves. You make it look easy.
I real deal watched this whole video… mad props dude 🤟🏽
I have no logical explanation for watching this entire video. Yet here we are. 🤙
I look through the same windshield every day. I only watched a little bit.
If he's ever in the NYC area I'll give him a wave the other way! 😎👍
Wow man! When you know your job! What a driver! I watched a lot of truck videos, but this one, is the best I have seen so far!
Thanks for your videos good job!
4:53 oh that was _CLEAN_ SON!
seems to be every corner is a tight corner with your truck ;-) respect for your skills!
That rig looks gorgeous
Very good job .It is Very difficult Backwards and from your hand.Top man.
My anxiety and road rage would be through the roof. Hats off to you.
Awesome skills! I just love making them 4 wheelers back up so I can complete my turns when needed. I've nose nose with to them quite a few times! There wasn't much room on that last turn getting on the Interstate, kind of messed with the audio a little bit. I've had to roll my trailer tandems over a curb several times in my driving career. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!! Keep up the great work!!!
Stay safe & healthy out there.
Spoke to ya later, Ka moan.😎
That truck sounds amazing 💯
Love it man! Great driving ! 💯
Amazing driving skills right here my man
Quite the Wheelman 👌🏽 safe travels
Dude got Mad Handles. Awesome video
What a show off! He’s like, that’s the same corner, just so you know...
Love trucks, and your channel.
One of the only channels that i will hit the like button before i hit the play button , never disappointed man love your content keep it coming. i always look for your truck when im out hoping to get a wave one day ;) stay safe out there brother
Edit - My Favourite video so far !!!!!!!!!! straight banger
Beautiful work
Friggin' rights Bud! Call the malllll!!!
🤣🤟🤟
You the man. I have been asked so many times to drive a semi. You couldn't pay me enough lol.
beautiful driving brother. keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Beautifull rig, skilled driver, hard situations
Good Video
ATS is getting better and better 🤙
Loved the video man, keep up the good work
Awesome dude. Excellent work there.
i know this is an old video , but i just saw ..... i love how people see you coming through the turn and still continue to inch forward...... ! Thumbs up and a sub for you kind sir ! stay safe out there !
3 am I have work in 5 hours and this is what I am watching. Nice
That looks like such a thrill. I really wanna get my manual restriction removed & drive my Dad's '94 FLD.
Lol it’s crazier that he’s hauling b trains and not just a 53 foot trailer. 3 years into my driving career and I still have trouble, you make that shit look smooth as butter. Great looking truck.
Pretty good job! However to make those those turn in a 53ft is 10x harder than doubles,
Wonderful compilation!
At 7:05, that's Neustadt Ontario! Used to drive through there weekly. I'd always look at the window on the Neustadt vendor store on the left and I could see if traffic was coming from the right in the reflection.
The setup, it’s all about the setup
Gotta love truck driving. Every turn without hitting something is a small win.
That was some boss driving dawg. ✊🏼 I take my CDL A eval in a few days. I hope my truck someday sounds as sweet as yours.
Remember the one time and without even thinking in the left hand side I see a semi ready too turn right and stop way back buddy gave me the biggest smile and thumbs up ahahahah
Nice work. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent driving , keep it up👍🏼👍🏼
Im a truck driver too. You're doing a good job
Amazing skills sir!!!
