Avoid box trailers if you can. Flatbed is a little more on the physical side ( securing load and tarping) but you won’t get into many situations like this. Pneumatic trailers also a good one. I’ve been driving 10 years and never drug a box.
@@chrisatkins7959 Lol bullshit, I've had to back in to buildings like this alot, or blindside off a busy road in to construction sights that are an obstacle course, or small parking lots to get loaded or unloaded.
@@zach8969 So right Zack.Most box drivers think flatbedders can't back.But now as a tanker driver I've had to back into some tight places at chemical plants,and custs.
That's ridiculous..... for company's like this that are to cheap to relocate, everyone should charge an extra 1,000.00 per load That's for the damage to the trailer wind reflectors over time, the risk the driver has to take & the extra time it takes. Especially for owner operators, It's your time and your equipment that's in risk of getting damaged. not to mention your class a license at risk.
As long as there are companies that are afraid to lose an account or starters owner operators that wont say no or new drivers to take advantage of they will keep sending 53’ to this jobs
Trucker Raven, you obviously failed high school economics, knucklehead. An extra thousand dollars gets passed on to the consumer... you are a consumer, fool.
I can see he’s fighting with that automatic transmission. Manual transmission makes it less frustrating as well. Good job with that blindsided backing 👍🏽
Never fails in either New Jersey or New York trying to back in tight docks like that someone is always in hurry to get around a truck trying to back in still a good job
I hate to tell you this, but the self driving trucks can’t back up at all. They can only go from shipper to receiver. Love you and then somebody from the docks gonna have to get someone from the dock to back the truck up because those trucks don’t know how to do that
I delivered NYC, Jersey, Philly and Boston for 40 years. It never gets easier. Note: After all that the receiver sometimes wants you to drop the tractor as not to restrict traffic. Glad I’m now retired.

That spotter isn't helping as much as he thinks he is. That's 100% skills of the driver. I hate when people who don't drive try to spot. A good spotter would know that there isn't much he can do to help the driver in this situation.
@@wmluna381 all kinds of goods anything from refrigerated to dry goods the thing is thus these docks were designed before the 53 ft trailers but we still manage these docks are no comparison to the caves the caves at least there is room to maneuver inside if you know what your doing and pay attention to the surroundings
@@wmluna381 I have done the caves in Missouri and Kansas they are fun plus when a tornado drops it offers protection gets kind of loud though garage docks are a pain cause backing in ya have to block traffic Ina eighteen wheelers I have dealt with road side docks many garage docks in Chicago area not fun cause some are very tight some are not it depends
Architects will also forget about adding sufficient (or any) janitor closets for building maintenance (water access and dumping) or putting them in areas that make sense. But they're 'smarter' than you.
This building is probably 75 years old when interstate travel wasn"t common place. This isn't an architect issue its a broker/dispatch issue; should not have more than box trucks or day cabs delivering to this location. Shipper/Receiver wont put those limitations on ticket since it would drive up the cost of goods. Broker is same way, will take the money and not pass it on to some unsuspecting carrier. This is where these entities need to take responsibility. Refuse the drop and/or pick-up and to shuttle to accessible location. Will continue to occur since too many dollar hungry brokers and carriers are willing to put unsuspecting drivers in that position and pressure them by "forced dispatch" to haul the load and write them up or fire them when the equipment or property becomes damaged. Its a bullshit situation but one that is all too commonplace in the northeast and older northern urban areas.
Most of those places in the northeast were built 80-90 years ago long before 48 and 53 ft trailers , I hate California but it was nice getting into a dock out there
i had to backup to a place like that in montreal. then you had to unhook and park in the back cause the street was busy and you were blocking the sidewalk with your truck. went twice then said don't send me there anymore.
Looks like he had the angles right from the begining, im in NYC I've felt bad for truckers backing and pulling out various times for 30+ minutes. Lucky he didnt have parked cars making it less space
I know the area well. I grew up there. When I drove for Yellow Freight, used to go there regularly to deliver. When it was Appetito’s Sausage. I used to go with a pup trailer, though.
For places like new york they should have a HUB in the outskirts to transfer long haulers to straight trucks to deliver in the city ....when the driver is good is not an issue but when the driver is new that poor soul can be there for hours and is many places like that unfortunately
Daylight Transport in Jersey City, NJ sucks too!! Hated that location, enter thru a back alley to it. Drop empties in small lot outside gate, then grab loaded trailers inside back area. Total PITA, L.A. Calif terminals just a bit easier, but in mixed zone houses, where you turn, and cars parked right up to corner. I had a few inches to spare between trailer tail and the car whewww almost had to change my shorts that night!!
Awesome, it brings me scary memories of having to back the rig into the tightest small alleys of new York it's nerve racking at times I'm glad I never ran anything over or damaged anything.
The guy on the ground directing him deserves a lot of credit he knows which way to turn the wheel and when he should turn the wheel. These places are so hard on equipment especially tires
I just got my CDL and with My luck, the 1st time I go solo would be to this place and I'd have to back into the middle bay between 2 trucks just like this 1
One of the biggest reasons why I chose to work LTL are docks like this. If it’s not ideal for a 53 foot trailer then you can always call on a pup trailer to do the job.
I did northeast for about two years before I finally called it quits. Never again going up there to deliver a thing. Calling it a hell hole would be putting it mildly. Well done driver.
Great job driver. Good help with the flagman but I do have one thing to say about that. When you want the driver to turn left or right, point that way instead of rotating your hand. In the cab, it’s very difficult to understand which way you want to go when your hand is just turning.

Go through all that, waiting for WHENEVER to get unloaded, bent over to pay a crazy high lumper fee and then trying to find a Streakin' Beacon for a washout. Did I forget anything??

why truckers always have this do it ones when backing up? i notice this in my area like there is plenty of space to get the truck straight and do a straight backing but they come in a angle and start doing g some crazy shit. sometimes it amazes me and makes me wonder where did they get their CDL.
Dude I thing that I see you doing wrong I feel like your rushing take your time bro and I have done these and worst without help so your kind of lucky 🍀 to have him help you
New Jersey. 😫... Those narrow streets and alleys just aren't designed for semis. I got my chops driving on the East Coast as a first year driver if you can drive there you can drive anywhere
I would have made them unload that trailer in the street😂🤣😂
Nice job😎👍🏻
And you preached a word.
Pu55y!
Babbbbby😂😂😂😂😂😂
For sure. No need to risk an accident trying to be a super trucker. They don’t think about drivers when they create these ludicrous docks.
On god lmao
Nice backing skills. I'll also put this company on the list of carriers that I won't drive for
😂😂💯
Me too I plan to stay south

I’m honestly thinking about turning down loads like this
Trucker Raven, you obviously failed high school economics, knucklehead. An extra thousand dollars gets passed on to the consumer... you are a consumer, fool.
Yes, bottom line is this dock is not designed for 53 ft semi trailers. Either get box trucks here or burn this place down 🔥
I dont take suck loads. Period. Ain't worth the risk and headache
I can see he’s fighting with that automatic transmission. Manual transmission makes it less frustrating as well. Good job with that blindsided backing 👍🏽
Problem is standard trans are an added option now like automatics in cars were back then
He is actually fighting the hill hold or anti roll back whatever you choose to call it, turn the switch for it off and it's easier to back
I have a automatic...and correct is very difficult specially when I'm heavy
I was wondering but yea that makes sense.... damn
I think it's she not he

Bruh ever since a kid I've seen these guys back into that spot. Pretty impressive.
I'm in awe of these guys that can back up a trailer on their blindside like this without any help.
Excellent work driver! I've been driving for three years and I still get nervous with blindside backs
This was INSANE. I have been a trucker for 3yrs and I couldn't do this all. This driver has been on the road for a long long time. This was amazing
This dock is just like the 1 I did in mass Ave in Boston great job well done
perfect initial setup, which makes things a lot easier.
Imagine doing that with ice and snow on the street, yikes!
Good job getting it in there.
That spotter isn't helping as much as he thinks he is. That's 100% skills of the driver. I hate when people who don't drive try to spot. A good spotter would know that there isn't much he can do to help the driver in this situation.
Exactly 💯
A good spotter stays in your mirror. Even in this situation it would've help.
Good spotter spots from the front of the truck and remains in earshot of the driver and goes back and forth and looks at what the driver can't see...
@@johneffrig9824 amen!
Yeah, that orange vest should have had orange sleeves too
Nice job driver. These guys should be using pup trailers only. I would like to see how many trailers get damaged here annually.
I had this same experience in New Jersey. I will never drive a semi truck through there again in life🤣. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time
