- Good morning everyone so today we had a another delivery where we saved the day for this contractor for the old mill That's been turned into luxury loft apartments. The other driver refused to drive down to the job site that we literally delivered a way bigger truckload of lumber earlier in the week. Due to miscommunication We were under the impression that we were picking up a bunk of 2x10s And plywood But not really sure how much. So we meet up with the foreman and he explains to us when the camera is cut off what exactly happened and what exactly he needed which was the material to be moved to the job site rather than where the other driver left it. In the midst of all the confusion we also find out that it wasn't just 2x10s it was all the material. had the foreman not have been on site to explain that to us some if not all of their material would have been returned to the shipping location and which would have made for a very unhappy client. We are glad that we were able to accommodate because this guy is really cool and there's some beautiful scenery there and it's challenging but it's a fun challenge to do deliveries there.

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!
We do this 7 days a week multiple times a day 💪🏾💪🏾
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
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.
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.”
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.
Mike, you are absolutely correct, a forklift or even better, a Lull should be there to help..great job on customer fullment
I never knew watching deliveries could be so interesting.
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.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️
@@SaffordDelivery blessings all the way from jamaica bro💫💯
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
Gday Brother anotheer great video👍😊
Always posting some good stuff, keep it up!
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 up is an art..and you are an artist Sir 👍
Almost to 50k subs man! Halfway to a 100k keep up the content. No matter how crazy it is. 🤣
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.
You be handling the Big Truck. Stay safe and Happy Holiday
Similar communication issues over here, we service hd lifts.I get call for no starts but there’s hydraulic hoses leaking. All the time.
The yellow things are to control the debris from the construction into the water. 🚧
❤️❤️👍👍
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
Get well soon
I feel safer knowing folks like you are teaching the next folks...
You are a professional!
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!
You are the best at getting in and out of tight places
That's what she said
Ponemah Mills on the Shetucket River. Taftville, Norwich , CT
nice to see someone who can drive and back up
Lmao..... thanks for turning the camera off for the portal john
You're welcome 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice driving bud 👍🏼 👌 👏🏻 🙌
🙋🏾♀️ Present!
I like looking at the scenery there. Right hand drive over here.
Good job, it takes a pro to get this mistake straightened out love your videos
I love old buildings and glad these are being repurposed and saved.
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
When a semi goes where horse-drawn wagons once tread.
Juliana, that's called old downtown Detroit, Kansas City and Chicago to name a few. Just sayin, been on a few goat paths with an 18 wheeler.

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.
Took me a sec to figure out what you were there for before you said it, then I was like "wow.. nice"
great work sir
That building and architecture is gorgeous I love seeing old historic buildings still being taken care of and serving a purpose.

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
good driver
Bro where's Bo and Duke lol 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to Connecticut !!,
very professional driver!
I come here for my daily dose of drama
Hello is this the krusty krab? Noooo this is patrick
Wonderimg why they don't have a better entrance or improve thet one and no fork truck on the job.?
Awesome job man. Why the traction control off on a slippery road?
Some people... Glad you talked to the boss!
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 😳😮😊
❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾
Niceeee !!! Made my day, now I know what time watch in my lunch time haha
Dinner time for me! 😃 Hello from Penang Island, Malaysia! 😊
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
Well done sir well done
What kind of large construction site doesn't have a forklift???
You have to go to a truck rodeo and see what these guys can do.
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?
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
Awesome you can use manual mode. When my truck is in for service Ryder gives me a loaner, they locked out manual mode.
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
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.
You have good taste in Poweraid.
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?
We don't do HD anymore
interesting time capsule those old ware houses and or old factory what year 1901?
Not sure
They would have said it was delivered to someone else’s property tho…
Great job backing up etc…lol
And great Work!
my first question why you don't want the product on a ongoing site
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)
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Awesome idea, we are working on some playlists
Thats a great road for the oilfield truck drivers
Some of those old Mills look just like we see in Northern England.
What were your mills used for?
@@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.
@@briwire138 interesting
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
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
25 years of tha crap thank God I'm retired
they dont got any manual trucks?
How you gonna offload with no space on the sides
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
th-cam.com/video/Aw4B0s_hsa8/w-d-xo.html
your good with that trailer something like that would have taken me 20 min to do
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.
Exactly 💪🏾 it's like the smallest communication can go a long way
Did Lowes. Hours at pick-up all the time
Not bad ⚡️
New video I hope you like it sir !! 🙏🏼
Will check it out later have some new filming projects soon to be underway
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.
We don't get paid a penny more
U got this u done a million times
What is up with all that power ade!? LoL ☮️
I installed cable tv in some of those apartments
Someone enjoys them some Red Powerade
No way I would deliver to the Old Mill. Been crazy ever since those meddling kids and Shaggy found out the ghost was actually a squatter!
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
Nope CT
should always use 4ways when backing. u naughty boy.
I would definitely strap it first, I've been driving 30+ years. take a chance and lose
You got enough Powerade there bud? Haha
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.
More backing skills lol
Where is yhis, would like to google map it ?
I also drink a ton of Powerade. 😆
Good job.instructions are bad.communication???. Still a fine job.
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.
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
Nightstalkers are transportation of special operations forces. The name I use here isn't my name when I was in military so I'm ok
Every delivery you say stuff like they put this here they put that there like you're the only one using these roads 😂
When something is important. I tell people to TEXT, so I can go back to that person and show what he/she TEXTED.
Never seen anyone like red powerade
Really it's my second favorite
#Mike just watch this teach me what I could be face in this truck would if I was a truck driver damm.
2:20 There's bodies in those barrels..
A regular trucking legend this guy.
The communication was fine they did that on purpose because they couldn't get somebody to come down there just to move it so they figure if everybody thinks you're coming to pick it up to take it away you'd come down there and pick it up and then when you get there they tell you oh no we just want to move see nobody would come down there just to move it
