Mate , I've said it before and I'll say it again, your calmness and patience is incredible, I would have been going mental, good work. Lucky we always have the option of dropping the B to get out of trouble
@@benjik1033 Theres no need for stress here, just go down in the dirt and work methodically. You get tired and exhausted from stuff like this but if you get stressed you have the wrong mindset for this kind of work.
Several years now since I've trucked, it always seems to me that a day later when I'm thinking about it I can think of 20 different ways I could have got the problem solved but none of them at the time I need it, I enjoy your videos keep up the good work and stay safe out there
Watching this was SO INTENSE! I need a warm bubble bath now!! 😍 Who sings and whistles in this "disgusting" place even under these conditions, cold, wet, mud, snow, slippery, sink holes, stress while getting this delivery done. You're the man! I was rooting for you when you got the last pallet off WOO HOO 🎉 You are so much better than a PROFESSIONAL! ❤👍 AWESOME JOB, WELL DONE!
I was going to watch a movie this evening. Instead of that, I watched this struggle. I rate this movie as drama/horror with 5/5... 😎 It isn't easy to operate in mud, sleet, snow, ice, cold weather and darkness.
If you weren't a trucker, you'd be successful at a lot of other jobs because of your calm, cool, collective manner that you apply towards problem solving. I'm a corporate manager for a large developer and would hire you in a second. As always, great content!
Well done... we all have days from hell sometimes, but you rose to the challenge in a professional and entertaining way 👍 Had to laugh when you finally got hooked onto the 2nd trailer because TH-cam decided to play me an advert with a choir singing "Hallelujah" 🤣. Great video as always - Greetings from less snowy Spain 🍷
Your patience and calmness under pressure is remarkable. Based on the fact that there was no one to help you, and the few that were on site didn’t want to even try to hep, I would’ve just bailed and rescheduled the drop. It was cold, dark and snowing and you soldiered on until job done. Lesser mortals wouldn’t have done so 😮
Man I’ll tell ya, you double/triple guys are gladiators. I thought backing up one trailer was challenging enough. Pretty sure I’d have an aneurysm if you told me to back up two or three trailers. Your loads better pay more than us normal single trailer loads do.
Maneuvering jobsites like that are a pain in the ass. We have 48ft flatbeds with the moffetts hanging in the back. All of our trucks have sleepers as well so we have about 75ft of truck to work in those constructions. But my advice would be use the moffett to your advantage as well. If you can move trash cans or anything in your way do it. The builders can later move it with the boom forklift. Besides that great job with having patience and taking your time. I wouldve been cussing up a Storm😂
I would have moved that zoom boom or told them to move it first thing but maybe you have a different culture over there... still very nice job and dedication, well done!
Your very skilled and you work a lot harder for your money then most truckers!! Have you ever thought about hanging freight systems. Have you ever realized with your skills you could drive a tanker and always get premium pay. Your work is for young men only not middle age that’s when you get hurt. As a young man I hailed backholes and cranes that took half a day to lock down on the deck. 🤪 climbing pulling jerking balancing with a center of gravity 20 ft above the cab. I started at age 17. I’m 77 now. One of these days you are going to look at your profit margins and say”my life sucks and take your high skills and move up in the industry 🤗. Your great!!
as an operator and someone thats been running equipment for over 20 years here in fairbanks alaska, for those that are reading this, if any are, get out and move the zoomboom. The owner of the land, the owner of the houses being built, the owner of the zoomboom, the owner and driver of the truck this mans driving, everyone wants him to move the zoomboom.
Im impressed by your calm demeanor throughout this fiasco. I have no idea why construction sites do shit like this. They know that they have to leave enough space for deliveries and yet they dont on top of it all is they don't seem to care enough to help make someone else's life easier. If I were you I would have made room for myself ( hot wired the zoom boom ) and screw them if they didn't like it. That or I would have packed every thing around the zoom boom and gone on my way.
I'd have moved that bloody piece of machinery. It had the keys in it! Brutal lol I had a night like that once and I just wanted it all to end, never been so miserable in my life, and I'd no heater either so after it all I 'slept' freezing cold.
Good job getting yourself out of that giant pickle! And with no damage to equipment or load. Congrats! Couple of things I'd mention; I wouldn't unload everything on one side of the trailer only and then go moving it around, especially unstrapped, that's asking for disaster! And when you hook up trailers don't just depend on hearing the click, or even just a tug test, that can bite you in the butt in the long run. Always get out and look up into the throat of the 5th wheel and visibly see the lock finger is fully around the pin. Especially if you own the equipment. Also in these crazy days, never leave a truck stop without checking your 5th wheel pin. Maybe it's just a USA problem, but there are many reports of assholes pulling the 5th lever in the middle of the night. Good Luck! From a 47 year driver now retired.
My clutch leg 🦵 would be toast!! You really tried! ❤ And then, that landing gear you'll have done me in! 🤪 You needed extra pay for this delivery... still watching it but had to pause and comment WOW... people have no idea the stuff we do
Great work at the drop, lots of patient for that spot and that type of delivery. But you held together and did the job and get it done. That what counts. As well you made it to the rest stop to rest.
Yeah i feel you 100%. We used to have excellent work ethics here in New Brunswick and ever since the market changed and we have people from Ontario pooring in, its going down bad. Talk about doing the least and nothing is their problem. Just a matter of time before they give us a bad name too.
Great work driver. You’re a better man than I though. After about 2 minutes, me and that boom would’ve been moving somewhere else. I’ll apologize on the phone later. Lol.
great video as always Matt, as for the Zoom boom Im so glad I know how to operate so many types of machines once they said NO , I be like ok Ill do it hahaah , just as long as ya put it back where ya found it , I have had to move loaders and Backhoes that have been in the way due to no operator on site when dropping a load.
I’ve got to add my 2 cents in about your demeanour and lack of swearing and lack of self destruction diet too , breaks stereotypes of truck drivers in a good way
I wonder how often you have to replace your clutch compared to say a normal semi hauling a single 53 footer? seems like quite the leg workout nice video as always!
As for the leg workout, it’s not an issue. The clutch pedal is only used to put her in your 1st gear and reverse. It’s called floating. You just have to watch your RPMs or you listen to the sound of the engine. That sound, as RPMs increase or decrease, will tell you when you can upshift or downshift.
@@jessejaymes8684 I know all about floating and driving a standard transmission, but listen when he is backing the trains, its clutch in, out, in, out, all to either control speed below idle minimum (say idle is 3mph, and he wants 1mph) or forward and reverse over and over again, hundreds of times each time he backs those trains
@@WoodCutr1 Sorry. Misinterpreted your question. But I must say, that’s a good catch. Although I have never driven B’s,I’ve driven primarily Private Sanitation. From Roll-Off to Walking Floor to Dump Trailers. Currently I’m working construction with a quad axle end dump trailer. Mostly sand, crushed stone, and sometimes demo and road salt. We’re permitted for 120,000 gross. Personally, I can say I have used the clutch to correct speed, it is an 18, but very very rarely. Low R High is sufficient to make corrections, but again, I’ve never driven B Trains. Also wanna add, Matt is a hell of a driver. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.
You don’t have a switch to dump your air bags on the Pete? My luck a gate would have me locked in on the site after all that . 🤬. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Take care friend.
I know it probably couldn't have worked in this case since the left side of the trailer was in the soup, but in a similar situation could the Moffit be used to shift the pup over a couple of inches just to get a bit of wiggle room, or does it not have that kind of capacity?
Mate , I've said it before and I'll say it again, your calmness and patience is incredible, I would have been going mental, good work. Lucky we always have the option of dropping the B to get out of trouble
Hes losing his mind lol. Hes just wayyyy better at dealing with stress on the outside then both of us are
@@benjik1033 Theres no need for stress here, just go down in the dirt and work methodically. You get tired and exhausted from stuff like this but if you get stressed you have the wrong mindset for this kind of work.
That zoom boom would have been parked a mile away for leaving it there lol
Such respect for his grit. If that had been a dead-end I would've cried...FOR HIM!
Is it a roadtrain you are driving ?
I might have stacked those pallets around the zoom boom.
And puncture 2 tiers with the MOFFETT😎
Just what I was thinking ...
I hope you stopped for a Steak dinner. You earned that one. Btw here in the north east of the US we hang our ponies on the end of the trailer.
A lot of guys here hang them off the back too, but the b-trains are already at max length so it’s a no go for me!
I fast forwarded while watcing it and still felt impatient. You are awesome man!!!
Several years now since I've trucked, it always seems to me that a day later when I'm thinking about it I can think of 20 different ways I could have got the problem solved but none of them at the time I need it, I enjoy your videos keep up the good work and stay safe out there
Your videos make me realize how easy it is to back up my fifth wheel camper at a nice landscaped campground lol.
Watching this was
SO INTENSE!
I need a warm bubble bath now!! 😍
Who sings and whistles in this "disgusting" place even under these conditions, cold, wet, mud, snow, slippery, sink holes, stress while getting this delivery done. You're the man!
I was rooting for you when you got the last pallet off
WOO HOO 🎉
You are so much better than a PROFESSIONAL! ❤👍
AWESOME JOB, WELL DONE!
It's great to watch people doing things they enjoy. Glad to see you're still in action.👍
Nothing like working in the dark... I admire your persistence.
I was going to watch a movie this evening. Instead of that, I watched this struggle. I rate this movie as drama/horror with 5/5... 😎

Why thank you sir that means a lot to me!
Thats “collected” manner, not “collective”
You might as well finish building the houses for them since you’re doing everything else lol
Awesome 2006 Peterbelit nice interior I haven't seen a 2006 Peterbelit in a very long time I watch all your videos keep them coming
Well done... we all have days from hell sometimes, but you rose to the challenge in a professional and entertaining way 👍 Had to laugh when you finally got hooked onto the 2nd trailer because TH-cam decided to play me an advert with a choir singing "Hallelujah" 🤣. Great video as always - Greetings from less snowy Spain 🍷
😂😂 perfect time!
Roundabouts, Fire Hydrants and Zoom-booms oh my! Great attitude Matt, keep the rubber side down!
And the shiny side up 🤙👍
your professionalism is amazing.
I can't believe they didn't move the zoom boom. I hope you got paid well for that last drop. ridiculous amount of acrobatics you had to go through.
I can appreciate this mans patience, You always have the option of breaking the unit apart or walking the material in!
I’m very impressed watching you back up b doubles. In the us most drivers just look for a pull through spot when pulling doubles.
Your patience and calmness under pressure is remarkable. Based on the fact that there was no one to help you, and the few that were on site didn’t want to even try to hep, I would’ve just bailed and rescheduled the drop.

wow its brilliant how the moffet goes on / off
Man I’ll tell ya, you double/triple guys are gladiators. I thought backing up one trailer was challenging enough. Pretty sure I’d have an aneurysm if you told me to back up two or three trailers. Your loads better pay more than us normal single trailer loads do.
You should charge an extra $1,000. for delivery at that place. Good job man 💯
Your the first guy I ever saw play frogger with a molfit . Great job !

Also if you lose traction in the forklift move the boom forward it gives you that extra weight on the front tires to get a little more traction
You have the patience of a saint.
O man, tou deserve ALL the likes and comments possible for this video. Cheers from Brazil
I must tip my hat to you, young sir. 👍
Wish there were more like you.
I’m sure it was a frustrating evening for you. It did make great TH-cam though! Nice work staying calm and finding solutions.
I so admire your calmness n patience, just incredible.❤ You hold your temper so well. I'd have curled up into a ball and cried😢 yeah man. 🎉😅
I would have moved that zoom boom or told them to move it first thing but maybe you have a different culture over there... still very nice job and dedication, well done!

About to go to trucking school in july I can't wait ! Watched your transmission tutorial video and its awesome !
Arrived on Easter, left on Christmas, what a fu...n to be a trucker and getting paid by a mile :)
You got nerves 😮 👍👍👍👍. Greetings from Finland
Lad you are a hard worker keep it up, and one day it'll all pay off.👍🏼
I've been in some tough spots when I was on the road, but what you went through is enough to drive you to drink.
That was one hell of a tough delivery. I'm exhausted from watching... thanks...
That moffett is ANCIENT 😂.. Hats off to you for utilising it well though
And as if driving tandum isn't hard enuf, the mud made it all complicated it. 😢 I like that you figured out your pup was half of the problem.❤.
That was a RUFF one. Job well done.
That was painful to watch.. I've been there And I must say you're much cooler cat than me . What a way to make a living. More power to you.
Good job getting yourself out of that giant pickle! And with no damage to equipment or load. Congrats!

Tu es doué, persévérant et surtout.... très patient!!!
My clutch leg 🦵 would be toast!! You really tried! ❤
And then, that landing gear you'll have done me in! 🤪
You needed extra pay for this delivery... still watching it but had to pause and comment
WOW... people have no idea the stuff we do
Whatever they pay you in not enough! That company is very lucky to have an employee such as yourself!!
I am the company, so yes 😂😂
In that case give yourself a big fat raise!! lol@@callthemall
After all that I'm bettin @1:19:00 I'd head on down the road, get all the way home and realize I left my MOFFETT at the site. 👍
You are so patience bro,i am Ur follower
Nobody told me id be getting the best movie of 2023 today
😂😂 appreciate it!
Matt I’m gonna watch this tonight. But I’m gonna like it now cause I always like your shenanigans !
Great work at the drop, lots of patient for that spot and that type of delivery. But you held together and did the job and get it done. That what counts. As well you made it to the rest stop to rest.
Wow what a nightmare I could not handle that with out blowing a gasket on temper!!! good job you worked very hard on that load
o new video! super exciting! ☺
Hard day in some way ... But you made it ! Great job.
good idea to call the customer and get their direction first , and pre planning using google maps 🤙
Never noticed the detail on your new truck livery, I like that your names on the door
Great video, as always. I want to see more content from you. Take us with you every day, from load to load.
Keep going. 👍🏻
I wish! Lol it is a lot of effort to edit through the videos though
@@callthemall , no need to edit, 😂, I want the real drivers reaction.😅😂😎,
I would have shifted the zoom boom, in fact I would have unloaded with it.
meu irmao esse trabalho foi dificil!!!!! gracas a DEUS voce teve sabedoria e concluiu com chave de ouro parabens!!!!
Dude I would have given up lol your a rock star an got them skills to pay da bills!!!!
Yeah i feel you 100%. We used to have excellent work ethics here in New Brunswick and ever since the market changed and we have people from Ontario pooring in, its going down bad. Talk about doing the least and nothing is their problem. Just a matter of time before they give us a bad name too.
Dam I've got a lot to look forward to when I start driving a large car hopefully in the next 3 years. Love watching the videos
Good to c u r still dere...keep it.coming
Great work driver. You’re a better man than I though. After about 2 minutes, me and that boom would’ve been moving somewhere else. I’ll apologize on the phone later. Lol.
Why is that rig feels real easy to drive? And it looks nimble as well moves like a small car, safe trucking 👍🏻
Haha😂 great work. And you are funny 👍 kind regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
HEY!! I see I deliver to the same job sites you do. If I ever see you .I will come and say hi.!!👍👍👍
Yes please!
What a f***ing nightmare here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
what an adventure! I was dreading that the street was a dead-end and you'd have to get out the way you came in.
1.5 hours of video! Thanks a lot Matt!
Hope you enjoyed it!
What a day brotha. Keep the shiny side up.
great video as always Matt, as for the Zoom boom Im so glad I know how to operate so many types of machines once they said NO , I be like ok Ill do it hahaah , just as long as ya put it back where ya found it , I have had to move loaders and Backhoes that have been in the way due to no operator on site when dropping a load.
Hello thank God for power steering 😊
24,000kg load of HSS steel tubes + Canadian winter 😣 i wish i could stay calm like that.
wow! I work on that builder site and it was crazy to watch that
great video , thanks

This is the kind of trucking video I've been looking for.
Maybe a Cab-Over with a small sleeper box would be better for local deliveries.
Man you can Drive bro awesome !

I bet days like this makes you really love your job ha ha ha
Haha sure let’s put it that way!
i think i would have been in tears
Amazing Video, Man.
A friendly piece of advice... the steering wheel is your enemy in soft material.
The more you steer, the worse it gets.
You don’t have a switch to dump your air bags on the Pete? My luck a gate would have me locked in on the site after all that . 🤬. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Take care friend.
It’s not giving up. It’s optimizing an alternate strategy.
I just wish I could experience landing gear as fast and easy as yours 😂
O ya...I have had to move a zomboom to fit. One ever says anything. Not even the super . They tell me to move it....
I know it probably couldn't have worked in this case since the left side of the trailer was in the soup, but in a similar situation could the Moffit be used to shift the pup over a couple of inches just to get a bit of wiggle room, or does it not have that kind of capacity?
Ah just a tad too heavy for the moffett!
