As someone who knows how long editing takes from editing my shitty gaming videos, doing this 6 days a week on top of regular work.. You are a workaholic, big respect brother!
As a former truck driver living in Connecticut and drove pretty much all over this state the old textile mills in the eastern part of Connecticut are priceless and glad they are restoring some of them instead of tearing them down. Great job in your driving abilities and dealing with them ina professional way.
The old mills are beautiful buildings....the brick work and designs of the buildings themselves are a testament to the people that built them and worked in them. No driver should refuse a load
Oh, I have had days like this. I was in canton Ohio. Drove down a nice country road. Then turn onto a small dirt road, that turned into grass. This is where I started to freak out. Mind you 53’ trailer and 45’ truck.Then some guy drives up in a tractor and tells me “ about 1 mile ahead you see a building on the left side deliver there.”
bro, i found your channel yesterday and i cant stop watching you videos. For some reason it brings a sense of calmness to me. Love watching your work, very effient and professional. You make me want to change careers.
Just came across your channel I’m enjoying your videos I also delivery building materials for 84 lumber I too work for a 3rd party trucking company been doing this for 30 years and I can’t help noticing how every company is the same lack of communication or dealing with angry customers not to mention what the machine with do to asphalt or grass glad to know I’m not alone out there be safe driver
backing slow and steady is the way to easily maneuver the load to where you want it. some people get in a hurry and keep having to pull up, back up pull up. Good job
how did i miss this video till now? happy new year I look forward to your videos. i had brain surgery for a massive brain tumor and am homebound it is nice to see your adventures as my adventure days are done
You are correct Communications is the key and the problem we had at our place Hanes Geo out of Sykesville was the salespeople I never got the delivery points right they never got the point of contacts right and half the time they never gave us the right phone number. And this was brought up the management for at least 5 years did I work for them! Management was the problem, I don't even know how they tied her shoes in the morning
Delivered in those old mill complexes a time or two always interesting we have alot of them in n y upstate the apartments are usually really nice when they’re done
That first guy with broken English just took for granted why you were there. I think there should be some go between liaison person who could explain exactly what they needed done BEFORE you even got there...having to waste precious time and money (gas). Until I started watching YOU, I never realized just how lack of communication proves to be such a BIG issue...yikes..I feel so sorry for you but you always handle it with grace and expertise...you rock 😳😮😊
Oh hell I've delivered to these layouts and they bite big time! Especially when you have to back up to some of the docks they have. I LOVE Boston! One of my last deliveries before I retired was Down Town under the building and I still had to drop the trailer and move down the block! Yeah, I miss trucking!
The kickers are disposable, but if your at home depot and ask they will let you take them home free, my store here has a a big stake of them and if you ask the lumber yard guys they will tell you take all you want, i built a wood rack with them to hold 1200 bf of hardwood. In my basement using them at wall brackets and buying 70% off dammaged studs some as long as 20' what do they care saves room in the dumpster it cost money to have it hauled away, i did it for free.
I am not a truck driver, your driving was impressive. Firm believer in communication. In todays electronic communication, you should have received an electronic map showing where material is, and where the material was going. The office pukes at your company were too lazy to provide you with the information. Like you said if you hadn't ran into the correct customers, that provided you with the correct information, a cluster would have ensued.
Ahh Banana on the dashboard😀. I love watching you because you’re so amazing. Let us know what you’re doing and what’s going on and why it’s going on continuously throw the video thanks 1 million for a great video
Mike, that sounds like making a pickup and taking it back to the store but now it's like just moving the lumber from one location to another location, that's like a waste of the drivers time, if a load is refused their is a good reason for it
Ponemah Mills is the old Helicon Furniture Factory now luxury apartments along the Shetucket River that dumps into the Thames River in Norwich Harbor. Phase 2 into luxury loft apartments. You must deal with the Lisbon and Waterford Home Depots?
@@SaffordDelivery They were situated in the hilly areas of northern England where the damp climate reduced the breakages in the material. In Lancashire they were used for cotton spinning. Over the Pennines in Yorkshire was wool. Towns were full of mills with factory chimneys belching out smoke. Mostly gone now, many used for apartments of small businesses.
I feel like you can really see the skill of his driving when he backs up, watch how often he turns that wheel when he’s going straight, those tiny adjustments are the reason it’s going straight…. Social awareness off the fucking charts, I wish I could drive like that
Problem is people don't care they don't want to do hard work. That's why in United kingdom people hire eastern European workers and in United states southern American workers they will do work and they are glad of money
They are also cheaper in many cases. I've been a hgv driver in England for 30 years, I'm not afraid of a hard days work... It's a little bit unfair to lump the population of Britain and the USA into the category of lazy... We aren't all like that... 👍
@@ggale2721 I'm Irish American northern Irish (English) I was talking to a HGV driver and he explained that they hired middle aged drivers but that driver's didn't want to do job .the job was collecting from Europe and transportation to United kingdom then deliveries in United kingdom and trucks new so are trailers. He said that driver's wanted to stay close to home and go play golf. Different company hired some driver's from eastern Europe and they do what ever you asked and they always turned up for work with no complaints the reason is that in eastern Europe wages are £60 a month and on United kingdom wages they can come work and within a year buy nice home in eastern Europe it's same in United states with driver's from south America states they will turn up for work do jobs without complaining about job .they're happy to get good money for their families
In 1990 I was with United states military and I been to every hell hole on planet both in military and now United nations I now live in west Midlands in United kingdom I won't tell exactly where because you might know company who this driver works for he told me they have problems getting driver's and keeping them he said that driver's don't want to be away from home .I don't know what they pay he did say something about £800
@@ggale2721 I was in United states military 160th special operations air regiment Nightstalkers currently work for United nations war crimes unit which covers war in former Yugoslavia amongst other countries. Military where I got my flight training and liking for helicopters from
In Britain most of this work is done by8 wheelers with a hiab crane mounted on the rear absolute madness sending an articulated unit and trailer plus most sites in Britain have a all terrain forklift on site
I'm just amazed that they don't have a machine on site to move that material to where it was supposed to be dropped off. Do they yank everything around by hand?
WOW!! That is some class A driving!! You backed that rig better than most cowboys can run their pick up forward!! VERY skillful! Really impressive. And that included some of THE best customer service around!! Way to go..
I did home delivery as an IC back in the day doing furniture & Appliances. Can't count how many times I had to do cleanup because of someone elses previous delivery. But you wouldn't believe all the food & tips we received because many customers had bad experiences with del companies. I told them the hourly drivers don't care because they get paid to show up. I am on my own I do damages or screw up it's on me. I get paid more because I risk more.
A big job like that they would have a sky track or fork lift. They were probably being *difficult* because the other driver refused to put the materials where they wanted it
pretty late on all of your videos, but love them. also just makes me feel like i could do trucking no problem😂 but idk i feel i just get things on the first or second try honestly
Aren't they called 'stickers,' instead of kickers? From separating lumber pieces for the drying kilns, each layer would be 'stickered' for faster air circulation. Dunno, kicker kinda funny too.
Mike, I think you should recommend from time to time that your audience go back and revisit some of your previous videos they may have missed🤔 just my opinion🤷👋 BROTHER ( excellent content)
I'm not surprised AT ALL. Home Depot doesn't hire people for qualifications, the hire to fill a spot. They don't train people, they don't do anything that improves operations. They live on the easy profits and too lazy to go after better service. This is what keeps the smaller local building supply business making all the money with contractors, and Home Depot spending millions on the staff dedicated to processing returns.
As soon as you started telling the story of what was going on I started thinking "oh they expect you I bet to pick it all up and just move it down to the job site" sure enough that's what they wanted... man someone messed up and didn't communicate and that almost caused a issue for you.
Is this Pennsylvania I have problems with semi 53ft trailer in places that don't accommodate total nightmares they are so backwards thinking drivers can fit into the property

The world needs more drivers like you ! Good job. Time to find out who that other driver was and slap him silly!
"I don't want to lose the pins." Actually, you don't want to lose your forklift.

As someone from Ohio and does loads out here that's about right 👍
How is the path leading to a 100's of million dollar project not improved for winter driving? Graded, stone, one layer asphalt.
I never knew watching deliveries could be so interesting.
Mike, you are absolutely correct, a forklift or even better, a Lull should be there to help..great job on customer fullment

Similar communication issues over here, we service hd lifts.I get call for no starts but there’s hydraulic hoses leaking. All the time.
That building and architecture is gorgeous I love seeing old historic buildings still being taken care of and serving a purpose.

Awesome you can use manual mode. When my truck is in for service Ryder gives me a loaner, they locked out manual mode.
Would you add a fast forward of you doing the final unloads at the end? That would be awesome.
You know TH-cam allows you to toggle the fast foward button on and off?
@@SaffordDelivery I think he meant taking it off the truck at the end. I was kind of curious how you were going to do that too with such little room.

should always use 4ways when backing. u naughty boy.

interesting time capsule those old ware houses and or old factory what year 1901?
Not sure
When something is important. I tell people to TEXT, so I can go back to that person and show what he/she TEXTED.
How you gonna offload with no space on the sides
they dont got any manual trucks?

Where is yhis, would like to google map it ?
Good job.instructions are bad.communication???. Still a fine job.
A lazy coworker costs all this extra time and $! Shows who's valuable to your employer vs who isn't.
More backing skills lol
I would definitely strap it first, I've been driving 30+ years. take a chance and lose
Every delivery you say stuff like they put this here they put that there like you're the only one using these roads 😂
I also drink a ton of Powerade. 😆
Never seen anyone like red powerade
Really it's my second favorite
15:15 I wouldn't drive my rig down that shlthole either. They need to grade out and roll that road.
