The frustration I felt for you when they told you to slide you’re tandems again, I felt like I was the one who had to back 😂
My Dad is a regional driver there in West Virginia and Dave you would not believe how easy he drives those roads in West Virginia. Little ol me from Texas is having a heart attack the entire time lol
as another person from Texas I can confirm this is sketchy asf
It’s like driving those roads in the UK almost
That's like a lot of small roads in pa too if your not used to it it can be scary
@@ryanjosephhaywood96 yeah I think all up and down the Appalachians have small windy mountainous roads like that, definitely not optimal for trucks lol
I've been there too many times. I ended up on a tiny mountain road in Oregon once and it was the longest 15 minutes of my life.
Lmao I did the same once that I didn't film a long time ago. I think it was in Tennessee or Kentucky. I tried this route around some stopped traffic up ahead. Every single turn my trailer was in the opposing lane on blind corners. I was sweating bullets for like 15-20 minutes watching the miles slowly count down to where I would get out of it lol.
The level of anxiety was high on this trip, Dave. You did a fantastic job. Stay safe.
Wow! This job requires lots of patience and good humor, and Dave demonstrates that perfectly.
I wouldn’t have the patience
@@ripperlipper1016 Lol!!!
Only the real RWD fans can like this !
Another good video showing the frustrations of being new. You handled it like a champ. I remember back in '05 I went to a small town in the Hillbilly off Route 250. That was a pucker up for sure. Good job, bud.
Damn I used to work at the dominos around here and as soon as I saw you take that right at the split off the mabscot exit i knew you'd be grabbing the seat for a minute. Good driving as always
Hey dave just wanted to say thank you. You inspired me to get out of a job I hated and become a driver. I just got my CDL and I’m loving every minute of it. I love your videos keep up the good work.
This place is an unsafe disaster for 53' trailers and a sleeper truck. Ain't no way I'd get in there if I had my dream 379 Pete with the apartment sleeper on it. And side loading that trailer with the rehook is not very good on the landing gear either. Especially loaded.
Very good video Dave. It really showcased what drivers face out there on a daily basis. You handled like the pro you are!!
Your truck takes up basically the entire lane lol but at least you got where you needed to. Thanks for the video Dave!
One of your best videos! Loved the humility while backing into this.
After dealing with all that I'd tell em that I'll turn in my keys if they ever try sending me back there.
A place that a semi shouldnt be. Dropping the trailer so you can then drive around to side-hook back onto it? Yeah start using straight trucks.
Then told to slide your tandems back. You slide your tandems back and back in and they tell you "No, no! You have to slide them forward now!"
Man Dave have not seen you with hijinx like this in quite awhile! Kept your cool amd temper👍👍👍👍
Not your fault... the white line on the edge of the road led around the way you went to me that would indicate it was the same road. That was a tight spot for sure.
Wow Dave, good job handling yourself through frustration.
Wow, Semi Truck Drivers Requires Alot Of Patience, Time, Effort, Good Sense Of Humor, Skills, & Much More!! And You Dave Hit All Those Perfectly!! I Haven't Felt To Good This Past Week (Think There's A Stomach Bug Going Around) Anywho, I Have Binged Watched Your Videos & I Am Just Enjoying 'Em!! I Wanna Say THANK YOU For Being A Trucker. I Know Sometimes It Can Be A Bit Frustrating, But You Do It With Great Sense Of Humor. You Are Definitely Appreciated! 🥹 Stay Safe As You Travel Wherever You May Roam!! - ❤ Watching From North Carolina
that moment we thought dave was taking us to his cabin in the woods 🪵 that would have been cool 😎, yea ive driven to sketchy places like that before
bro what a video man, the agony of not getting it right, must of been a lot of pressure on you when they are just looking at you doing it. Either way man you got your cdl for a reason. keep it up champ you got this!!!
Jumpin' Jimmony! That looks like a brutal route. Itd be great if the shipper/dispatcher actually wrote out the directions on how to get there instead of saying "call the receiver"
Wouldn't have been too hard... 'Exit x, straight until it turns left under the highway, go under the highway, then right over the tracks...
You did good Dave ..holding it together, I've done a few night backs into Walmart frozen side with no lights....pretty crasy stuff
Thank goodness you had a way out going down that back road especially in West Virginia. Handled it better than me my friend.
Nice blues shirt dave.😏🏆 #Letsgoblues!
Get told to not follow GPS then gets taken the exact way the GPS would've sent him
For real
If these places expect to have big trucks deliver to them they should start building these places made for big trucks.
Hi Dave, be safe!
Ahhh yes, the video that made me not want to be a commercial trucker! 😂
As tow operator & TH-camr Ron Pratt says, "GPS = Gets People Stuck"
no idea how many turkcs this business recieves but it seems like they could spend a little bit of money and just build a little platform off what they got at like a 30 degree angle, be easier and safer for all.
ohh man you get lucky always you have a angel above you and common sense
That’s trucking Dave!! I fill for you buddy.
lol this happened to me 2 years ago 😅. the road kept getting smaller and smaller with nowhere to go but forward lol
Backward - and with a LEO stopping traffic - is often the better solution. Fortunately, it wasn't necessary in this case since the road looped back around to WV-16.
Great job Dave I don’t know who is thinking what but I’m thinking that should’ve been a straight truck delivery maybe two to put you on a tracks like that ain’t right. Remember if it don’t look right it’s probably not stay safe out there brother.
I was just in that area around last week. I hate some of the routes that are marked as state highways in W Virginia and Pennsylvania. Had one route take me literally 3 hours to go 40 miles because of all the twists and turns. If you, Dave, left in that area after dark, you're a braver man than I. I told my dispatch to not expect me to drive after dark anywhere in those mountains.
That back would have scared me
I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail you were in WV. The roads suck here
D*mn Dave ! I commend you for your professionalism and patience !!! You are the man are this trucking sh*t. Thank you for the video
Nice to see Dave is human! This was a great video "thats trucking!"
There are just some places that a53ft van and a sleeper truck just don't belong
What’s up guys Dave back again and again and again………
That’s the problem no don’t think, truckers today, LOL
That idiot on the phone gave you bad directions. As soon as you showed the location's address, I pulled it up on my own Google Maps. From what I can tell, Frontier St and Cova St can both get you to that customer, but it's too sharp and probably narrow a turn to make it onto Frontier St from S Oakwood Ave. Therefore, following Oakwood around to that hospital, then making the right onto Cova is the way to go in a truck. I saw right away where you made the wrong turn. I'm betting the guy on the phone thought you had already crossed under WV-16 when you hadn't made it to that point yet. This is a good example of why I rarely let other people give me directions. They tend to give them in stupid ways. Or even if they do give them the same way that I like to receive them, they can make bad assumptions like that guy did with you. I won't normally even use GPS, but in your case it sounded like your GPS was giving you the correct direction off of WV-16...but the distraction of being on the phone with the customer didn't do you any favors there.
Oh trust me, after this incident I said to myself, never again am I going to let someone walk me through directions like this. I trusted them and sent it lmao, but next time I'm going to just get their directions and confirm with my material like I'm supposed to.
@@RidingWithDave well, in your defense, I can see why that place would be easy to make wrong turns getting to. Even when I was watching your footage and seeing you make the rigjht turn by the hospital, the hospital property didn't look at all like I would have expected it to. And without zooming in pretty far on map or satellite view, it's also easy to mistakenly believe that the streets that go into there also intersect with WV-16 when they don't. I could have easily made a similar mistake myself, if it was me going there and I didn't have time to effectively trip plan it or didn't pay close enough attention to the details of the roads there.
I feel like Online might do good to give you a bonus after seeing this one. Great work and this is something that the Sales guy needs to see & present to the customer to work on a better solution for moving their freight.
Good job
Box trucks would solve this issue with time in places like this for the shipper, receiver and carrier. No large truck should have to do all this bc the driver is waisting their time and the shipper is wasting their time getting trucks into here. Get a different building or ship it on smaller trucks that can actually freely fit into the space. Just dumb your company willingly picks up here. Guess it's a strong arm your company can charge more to pick it up since no one else will pick it up.
What a ghetto facility man !! You handled it well though I would have told them to figure it out after the third time lol 😂
That is dock is janky af!
That wasn't a right or left split it was straight or right my brother .
Rough one for ya Dave. They'll b days like that for sure. Keeper between the lines my friend. B safe and b well ✌️👏😉
I've been there and hated doing that. Back and forth, back and forth. Slide the tandems. Slide them forward, slide them back. Yeah, you're off by 2 ft on this side. Geeze! Now? You're off on that side! THEN? It finally is good. And they'll say, "" Everyone has trouble with those damned tracks!
I'm from south Carolina and the roads in the hood in a semi is sketchy asf! I feel your pain Dave
New River Gorge area is a beautiful place. Hawks Nest (I think that's what its called)has a very nice scenic view.
That's definitely a unique loading dock.
The metal plates on the ground are for the railroad crews. They connect the tracks to the railroad ties with spikes. At my old job CSX would replace them and leave them on the ground until they feel like getting them or until the private property owner calls and complains about it.
Thank you for trucking, Dave. Safe Travels.
This is everyday in food service some weeks lmao
At least you managed to loop back around to somewhere you'd already seen, "I recognize this place, I've been lost here before!"
Famous last words ... "Want me to stay on the line with you?"
My husband has been through there. He said I wish people (not you) know they're right from their left LOL
What battery do you use? My gopro doesn't last past 30min
My OCD is calling.... your curtain track is falling down
Today I thought of the Riding With Dave channel as i passed the Gabes DC in Ohio. 😉
He'll Dave I've been driving semi,s most of my working life and that dock is the sh×ttiest I've seen can't believe how close it is to the rail line,well done Mate ,would have liked to see you hookup and leave😮😮😮😮
Cheers Kym
Adelaide
but now the big question is did the boss allow you to take your rest at their property or did you have to move it. also man what a "easy" road it seems almost european city or country roads driving.
Loved this vlog, Dave 👍 Regardless, you always make it entaining 👌Take care
truckdriving these days is more hassle than it's worth. 10 years ago when I got my cdl I had strict directions I had to follow. Turn by turn in a message on the computer while keeping a paper log lol But dispatch seems to have gotten really relaxed and letting drivers do their own thing which back then I would find better ways if I could by technology. But now dispatch just wants to send you loads and zero directions leaving it up to the driver. Problem is communication from dispatch and customers. Now days you have customers in very odd places spread out all over. No driver have huge books with trucking routes anymore. They rely on communication from the customer and dispatch on ins and outs of customers.
Most people would have quit right there and left their truck
Hey Dave love the videos u know I been watching u since the beginning even did 1year and half on Cfi we meet there also I wish u did some face talk yo camera sometime or back uf shoots it be cool even for me that I have 2 +years already its just cool content
We’ve all been there brother. Trucking is so much more difficult than people think it is. Stay strong. Rubber side down.
Gotta love places built for straight trucks. Truckers do it all the time. Absolutely no space jacknifed to kindom come to get into a dock.
I was waiting for a train to come roaring bye 😀
It sure did when I was sleeping that night lol.
Damn A.O. Smith and their interesting customer shops!
Been there brother. Ended up in a residential neighborhood in Pennsylvania and thankfully found my way out.
Dave you are good because I would have told them I can't get into that dock send a straight truck 😢😢😢😢
Gotta challenge yourself!!
You've got some patience Sir.
This is the side of trucking ppl don't see. It's not just holding a steering wheel like ppl make it out to be. It's high stress all the time.
You’re hilarious Dave 😂
Found myself in an alleyway in Minneapolis, via a wrong turn. No exit so I wanted to back into Minneapolis Power company, but no one showed up so I can back through the gate. I said I have to go between two buildings with a foot clearance on both sides in pitch dark. Somehow I cleared the buildings. Dang GPS!!
You got the guy at the warehouse that has no sense of direction. He can show ya’, can’t tell ya.’
All of the green Volvos you see in Dublin are electric from what I understand.
We all want to know, Did they let you stay for your break?
I’m interested in seeing how you side hooked. I’ve never had to do that…. Yet 😂
Im from West Virginia!
Your laugh and your humor are why your videos are so great.
That was a bum rap Dave.You acually git it in pretty easy.Back when I worked for Schnieder i had a cab over.Dock you had had to 90° it in.Couldnt get it.Got in a heated argument in asshole consignee.He told me to leave with out undoading.I called them.They were cool about! Had trailer relayed.They planned on taking that place off they're route!
Hi from beckley, wv 👋👋
Imagine this were your first job trucking... there wouldn't be a second
HI FRIEND, I TELL YOU WHAT, A LOT PEOPLE WILL GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS, ON HOW TO GET SOME WHERE BASE ON HOW THEY DO IT, BUT REALISTICALLY THEY ARE DRIVING A SEMI, IT'S WORST IF YOU ARE GETTING DIRECTIONS FROM A LADY, NOT PUTTING ANYONE DOWN, IT'S BEEN MY OBSERVATION!
Holly caw Dave I just saw your video from 9 day ago it's looks like you are in Cali with those warehouses oh man 🥴🥴🥴
My2 sons and oldest grandson drive big trucks all 3 out of Parkersburg, West Virginia
Hahahaha u guys need to watch alex taborda is a truck driver in Colombia he drive in roads 100 times more difficult than this is crazy and amazing at the same time
Thats why I only drive from MI to West coast & back. Also OH, WI, & PA
I miss trucking 😢. (Retired)
Dave, do you ever write reviews on places you go to?
Very rarely do I post any reviews.
@@RidingWithDaveI think you should more often, especially on places that have challenges, so other drivers have clues on what to do or not do.
Tricky place but seems the customer was very nice and patient, but guess not the first time they have to direct a driver.
I can imagine the customer you talked to drives that road so often he likely does not even register that split any more, looks more like a place fitted for a box truck.
Halfway through, what would you do 10 years ago when we didnt have auto trans volvos and cells?
You better not ever go down rt 52 off 64 in w Virginia you’ll have a heart attack 😅
What the hell!!!😂😂😂😂
Im sure u did researchers before u go otherwise u look too relaxed to go forward like that
That's Trucking..... lol
The scenic route is never fun.. I got lost once in Missouri ended up taking 4 wheeler trails through some cow pasture and at the end of the road I had to break the person's gate to get out. I was waiting to get shot at
Brother the hat cam makes me dizzy when watched on tv. Great videos otherwise.
