Forgot to put the Truckers Intro lol, ups Submit your clips: forms.gle/7LKzTdvHwnmZmZ439 Follow me on my socials for videos that I can't post around here: Instagram: instagram.com/dashcamlessons TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@dashcamlessons Facebook: facebook.com/dashcamlessons
I like the idea of a number in the entire clip for identification, but it should be for a clip, not a submitter. For example you have _JustGonnaTruckit_ listed as *3* It should be *3, 4, 5, 6,* and *7* for JustGonnaTruckit as he submitted 5 separate clips. My 2 cents
I am used to trucks being, basically, pretty good at what they do and it seems things are getting worse. Am I seeing more of what was always there, or are there more knuckleheads on the road now?
I do too! I just don't get how people think they can cut off a big rig or brake check them! I always stay out of their blind spots (I know where they are). I get WAY in front before I come over and if one wants over, I flash my headlights. I also keep my ears and dashcam on! :)
@@PhilG999 People don't consider the sheer destructive force a vehicle weighing 80k lbs, traveling at even a conservative 60mph can deliver on another vehicle. Rolling death.
I don't get why people wouldn't simply speed up a little when merging on the highway, I see it so often! It's YOUR responsibility to merge on the highway, other people don't have to move out of their way just for you, ESPECIALLY trucks!
I don't get it, either. Maybe it's because they're running around with the false belief that giving it a little bit of gas will drastically reduce their gas mileage (it won't). Maybe in the 1970s with huge engines and carburetors, but not since the advent of mass air flow sensors and fuel injection. And for everyone who wants to try to start an argument with me about this, I'm not talking about flooring it - I'm talking about giving it a small amount more gas. Yes, it uses fuel faster but for a shorter period of time, but you use roughly the same amount of fuel overall.
Imagine an HOV express lane entrance, that puts you right into 70+ mph traffic, and some idiot merging into the highway at 30mph and not even trying to accelerate, even though it’s a 1/4 mile merge lane!!! That’s what I and about 3 cars behind had to swerve out the way to avoid last night 😡🤜😡👊
I always move over if I can, not to be nice necessarily though that is part of it, but to keep traffic flowing as well as possible. Slow traffic effects me so I don’t want to contribute to it and people tend to pass on that courtesy to others along the way. I don’t care if you cut me off or budge in front, I simply don’t have the time or desire to throw a fit.
Plot Twist: The driver accidentally stapled his balls to the steering wheel and all of his shenanigans were the result of him flailing around randomly trying to un-fuck his very life.
some how i highly doubt Uhaul cares about anything beyond the almighty dollar. just look at their shoddy equipment. a trailer of theirs had exposed wires inside that destroyed the turn signals on a pickup of ours and they wouldnt pay for the repairs. we never could get the signals to work right again after that so we stopped using that shitty company.
@ 5:03, why are you honking at the other truck?? They clearly have an issue out of their control and are trying to safely get on the shoulder and you decide just to be an a hole about it
@TOPgamesTV I think because there was an unexpected guardrail coming up and it surprised them. I think they were going to wait to pull over after it. The truck driver was coming up WAY TO CLOSE behind them and should have gotten over WAY back along. He should of easily seen they were driving much slower than he was and gotten over or slowed way down himself, long before he got on his ass, if he couldn't get over. The cammer in the big rig was more at fault here than anyone.
you don't drive on the shoulder at highway speeds. It isn't a travel lane and not safe. Part of my getting my CDL is how to properly stop on the shoulder of the highway and we had to do it during the driving test. Signal intent to pull over. Check your mirror making sure no one is coming up on that side of your vehicle. Start to slow down then enter the shoulder as far as you possibly can trying to avoid any part of the vehicle from being in a travel lane without leaving the blacktop if possible (Soft shoulder could roll your vehicle/trailer). Come to a complete stop and engage hazards and brakes. exit vehicle and place warning markers/flares when needed at the proper distance behind your vehicle.
The guy was slowly drifting onto the shoulder and towards a guard rail; Looked to me like he was falling asleep at the wheel or something. I think the cammer honked to wake him up and warn him.
i learned it driving for Clean Harbors. eye opening to have such lousy training and be in control of 80klbs when youre only supposed to be carrying up to 60k.
agreed, they dont get paid as much and work long hours away from their family. We need to share the road and respect the people that bring our food, clothes, and gas.
6:18 I absolutely hate it when someone is getting ready to merge into traffic and they don't speed up which forces other people to slow down or to try and move to another lane. 🙄
If I have space to SAFELY move to the left I will. If not, then I just maintain a steady speed. Too bad for the Karen who doesn't know how to properly merge with faster traffic.
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ Yep I hold my ground though nine times out of ten they're A-holes that WILL ram you because they've got a crap box and don't care what happens nor do they have insurance.
2:09 When I was in elementary school, my house was located along a stretch of road where big rigs would come flying past. When I saw them I would act like I was honking the old school way of raising my arm and then pulling it down 2 times. The truckers would typically honk as they drove by. I got a kick out of that.
Meanwhile your parents probably complained to their friends about all of the rude truck drivers always honking their horns for no reason in your residential area:-).
I was wearing an old uniform shirt as pjs and I got one trucker to blow his horn. Simply by showing him my shirt. It still makes me day when I think about it. I was in the passenger seat.
Right of way seems to be becoming a more difficult concept to understand. Traffic already traveling on the highway has the right of way, merging traffic is REQUIRED to YIELD by LAW
@@thirdgen377 Nice little boogyman argument you got there. Be AfRaId Of NeW tEcHnOlOgY! What makes you so important you feel someone would target you specifically to have your car hacked?
Surprisingly, a small number of states share the responsibility between the "merger" and "mergee" 50/50. But yes, some people son't even seem to get the basics right, they just start changing lanes into another car without even attempting to find an open spot first, as if they have full right-of-way.
As a truck driver myself, I can say half these clips are just cammers with short tempers. This is why you need to find a home daily run, it's stressful out there.
In 2020, I was a backup delivery driver for a pipe supply company and the few out of state trips I did make made me realize the trucker's life ain't for me. I love driving, but not in the cities where NOBODY knows how to drive. People are generally stupid lol.
@@courtneyoverbey3300 pipe for oil drilling? in my area guys that haul pipe go to rigs in the middle of nowhere. thats what i wouldnt mind doing. its one thing to pass thru a city on the highway but i wouldnt want to leave the highway in a city.
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ I was hauling pipe for fire suppression systems. Lots of small town and intercity driving to deliver to construction sites and sprinkler companies.
Agreed. A lot of those drivers are inconsiderate jerks, but the guy with the white rig in the middle section of clips especially (seems to be a series of his) has an INCREDIBLE short fuse. Dude needs to find some way safe to blow off some steam cause he seems to have a lot of pent up anger at the drop of a hat.
OMG the #5 submitter was like that whiny little botch out of Seattle that goes around blowing his horn at everyone who offends his sensibilities. Guys: BLOWING YOUR HORN does not equal a “Dashcam Lesson.”
It boggles my mind at how many people do not understand that an onramp is designed to get yourself up to speed so that you can merge into traffic without much issue. Yet time and time again, I see people waiting until they get beyond the onramp to accelerate up to the highway speed, which causes way more issues. It really isn't that hard to understand.
What I can't stand is when I'm on the on ramp and I'm trying to match the freeway speed then some dipstick ahead of me slows down to enter the freeway. It puts me in danger because I no longer have the momentum to slot in safely.
This is my BIGGEST pet peeve while driving. It's insane how some people still think you need to crawl on the on ramp. People think driving slower = driving safer, but that is not always the case. While driving everything is about accelerarion, relative speeds, and road conditions. If you're going too slow for traffic, you're relying on other people to react to you, and I don't know about you, but I don't trust any of these other motherfuckers on the road, let alone rely on them.
I know of an on-ramp in which I'm not sure how you get up to speed. It's a clover curve that is tight enough to have the yellow sign say 25 MPH, and the freeway is 70. Doesn't help that once it's stop curving enough to feel sage enough to go faster than 35-40 (with a passenger car BTW), you have like at most 4 or 5 car lengths to get up to speed with the freeway before you're driving on the shoulder. And my luck, I would always be behind someone who goes the 25 on the ramp. The freeway had this major construction project going on (part 1 was before COVID, part 2 was during COVID, and this ramp is on part 3), and I hoping they change that ramps to be like what they did with two of the roads during part 2 where the road does a crossover under the bridge and there's only one pair of on and off ramps for each direction of the freeway.
What I hate is when I'm trying to drop into the gap behind someone and they brake which keeps them in the same relative location to me and prevents me from merging. The idiots tend to keep braking well below the minimum speed which endangers themselves and the following traffic on the highway. Just let me adjust as necessary and all will be fine.
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 that is most likely just a radio antenna for a car radio. If it is an old p71 it's either an undercover or just someone who owns it. Either way it's a great vehicle
Looked to me like a spotlight on the left side. Could be a cop--some of the police agencies still use Crown Vics--if it is it's an unmarked. More likely a FORMER cop car--they auction them off at the end of their service life if they're still good, minus cop-specific stuff.
@@RabidWolf1966 do you not see it raining and freezing conditions, which could mean icy road, plus a vehicle to the truckers right? And it's a semi, so it can't exactly stop on a dime. Why is a car going 20 in the left lane in the first place?
Honestly, other than the icy weather, that could have been me (the car) about 20 years ago. It was a late Easter (Snow and ice were gone) and I'd just swapped back to my Summer/all season tires and I was driving home to Ottawa (from my parents in NB), and one of my tires had a blowout while I was in the fast lane. I immediately slowed and pulled over to the left (the closest shoulder), 4 ways on and just tried to figure out what the hell happened and what do I do next. Thankfully some guys from the highway patrol came by almost immediately and helped me change the tire. (I do wish I could have made it to the right hand side so I wasn't off the fast lane; but it was a driver's side tire that blew so ultimately it was for the better. It was around Montmagny, so I wasn't really dealing with QC or Montreal traffic thankfully) But what I'm saying is that car in the first video did have their 4 ways on, so they probably had a sudden emergency. It's hard to tell but it looks like they went to the left first, but decided to try and move to the right shoulder instead, and probably misjudged how fast the Cammer's truck was coming with the traffic. If they were having a sudden emergency and had to slow and get off the road NOW, I can understand them trying to get to the right side; but really they should have just gone to the closer (left) side and waited/assessed the situation before trying to go any further.
Agreed! As a trucker of 8 years, I just don't understand why he laid on the horn for so friggin long! The RV got back in their lane and he just laid into it for absolutely no reason. You give em a little blast, and if they don't respond, then you give em the horn until they do. You DON'T do what this guy did tho
These videos have made me way more cognizant of truckers and what they go through and how infinitely more difficult it is for them to maneuver their vehicles on a highway.
Plus without them our shelves would be empty in a few days. Legit it would cause insane chaos in under a week if even half just all of a sudden quit. We lost like just under 10% and it was noticeable in many areas. And we're losing more truckers by the day because of fuel prices making it not worth it for many of them. Shit, without truckers we can't even get fuel delivered to the gas stations. Haha. But so ppl love treating them like they're shit or in their way. When they might be top 5 most important jobs in the country. No hyperbole, either. I mean it. Especially for city ppl who many can't even cook these days let alone find food without a store, restaurant or Uber Eats.
@@SpeccyMan You say that as if that surprises anyone. Don't teachers teach that stuff in like 8th grade? It was taught to us even here in Germany atleast.
@@mrmcprang Tbh that is a contradiction. You are poking at a trucker for using their horn and someone poked at your grammar. No worries though. It's all good 😊
@@jjvoich also with one of the car instances, the car had the right of way because it needed to merge in front of the truck yet the truck didnt allow any space for it.
Car could more easily have sped up and slotted in perfectly safely in front of the truck. Or if they're not happy speeding up them slowing down and slotting in behind if there is space. If anyone is not confident joining that sort of road then they need to take advanced lessons to become confident instead of putting other people's lives at risk.
I may not know much about driving big rigs, but I know enough about physics. It is way easier to maneuver a small 3,000lbs-ish car than it is to maneuver an 80,000lbs-ish big rig truck. Plus that cars acceleration and braking are a MILLION times faster than that big rig.
There's nothing professional about that. He probably hit or almost hit the Uhaul guy and nearly collides with at least one other car while trying to avoid the Uhaul. Watch the nose mirror. Dude was switching lanes without looking at all.
4:30 I’m on the side of the first truck because he did what he was supposed to; there was a disabled vehicle on the shoulder and he gave them some room. I get the second truck was speeding and he had to slam on the brakes but there was a disabled vehicle on the shoulder, no need to drive up and honk. That was a dick move.
I didn't see a a disabled vehicle what I saw was a highway department grass cutting machine. I'd bet it was crossing from the center median to the right and the first truck saw it and avoided it.
0:31 feels like a scammer, there was plenty of time to pull out by running the red, waiting until they were that close feels like they were trying to get hit for insurance.
You have a deathwish if you pull out in front of a truck going 40 mph. As we've seen on this channel if a trucker is targeted it's typically road rage and it's usually a freeway brake check.
@Jack Son [feels like a scammer, there was plenty of time to pull out by running the red, waiting until they were that close feels like they were trying to get hit for insurance.] Fuck em, LET those dumb motherfuckers pull out AND lie to the cops AND lie to their insurance. What that means is 1. Falsified report. 2. Lied to an officer. 3 Insurance fraud. Good luck asshats. They can kiss their insurance policies "goodbye" and say "hello" to SR22.
Yup, likely did the same thing to the guy in the pickup that was brake checking him. All because he didn’t maintain speed and allow proper merging of the car coming into the freeway. Hate it when people do that. In tight, slow moving traffic sure, but in free flowing traffic there is no need for it!
Pretty sure you're wrong there bud. Sure, there's a few bad eggs, but maybe rethink telling the guys that do something for 70 hours a week that you know better than them. The stupidity in this video is crap we see on a daily basis.
Seeing a day in the life of a truck driver through these incidents is eye-opening. It's a reminder of the challenges they face on the road. Let's all respect and share the road responsibly to ensure everyone's safety
4:30 The other truck signaled well in advance and moved over for a disabled vehicle on the shoulder. 5:00 This is why you don't follow so close and pay more attention to your surroundings. You should not have needed to hard brake there and honking at the guy pulling into the breakdown lane with his hazards on like its somehow his fault is just childish. 5:07 This is the summit area on Fourth of July Pass in northern Idaho. Not only is the driver going much too fast for conditions, but you should always be prepared to encounter much slower vehicles in the right lane on steep grades, especially at the summit brake check/chain area.
I was about to say the same thing about 5:07, I mean you can tell from the other semis there that were going slow because of bad conditions and a steep grade, the driver of the dashcam footage was going much too fast for those conditions.
A few too many of these seem to be truck drivers who think a horn is as good as a break. If you see a vehicle ahead with hazard flashers on, break - don't try to squeeze past and honk.
@@williamwill182 The only way to get through to these kind of people is a viral facebook post because they don't pay attention to anything else. Something like "11 ReAsoNs TRUCKS stop slower than CARS, #7 will shock you!".
0:26 - I might have mentioned this in comments before, but my brother-in-law drove a gasoline truck for a year or so and I heard that he once came home and sank into a chair with a thousand-yard stare on his face and said, "Three people tried to die today..."
4:57 sorry that one is ONE HUNDRED Procent on the Trucker.. 7 seconds from it becomes clear the one infront IS slowing down AND even have his RIGHT blinker on to show he have to pull over.. And the trucker FIRST start to SLOW down after 6 Seconds he had PLENTY Of warning. And his following clip DANG if you look at the truck infront you can CLEARLY see he is having issues with his tanker trailer SLIDING (you can see it's clearly pulling to the side) Properly because of the rain and the sloop so HOW DARE he slow down?
5:11 tanker is in the right hand lane. They are driving slower (likely driving to the conditions.. as it is raining). What one person feels safe driving at, and what someone else feels safe driving at will vary. Also, don't know if it's a smooth bored tank or not (because of surge). The tanker truck, when driving that slow SHOULD have had their 4-way flashers on (hazard lights), but other than that.. The cammer just seems impatient like a lot of other drivers, so IMO the cammer is the one to be laughed at here.
I agree. That's in Lookout Pass going from Idaho into Montana. It looks like he had stopped in that brake checking lane and was getting back on the road. They're a driver with my sister company, but I'm not sure exactly what specs they've got for their trailers. I know that they use a few types
"True Legacy of Trucking" is just a prick, honking everyone who he percieves is getting in his way. I dunno what US states' laws say on horn use but in the UK you're supposed to use it to warn other vehicles of your presence. You never need to use it on a vehicle that you think knows that you are there.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! For the 1st time in my 20 yr career I'm driving a castrated rig. Everyday is a challenge. I miss driving a truck that can get out of is own way!! Good luck to me!!
@1:15 when I see someone purposely holding up a trucker it makes me think, they are probably the same people that are wondering “ where’s my package, where’s that part to fix my car , my HVAC, why aren’t the shelves stocked at the grocery store etc. ……well it’s probably on THAT truck, or one like it !
4:13 is 100% on the trucker. Dude didn't want to let merging traffic merge, and accelerated to prevent them from safely zippering in like you're supposed to.
Gonna have to disagree, he doesnt have to slow down to let someone in. If you're getting on a highway and you see a giant ass truck next to or near you; it's your decision to slow down or stomp on the gas and this guy was pretty indecisive. honking after he made his call was a bit much imo.
If you can’t accelerate a 1 ton car up to highway speeds effectively you should probably turn your license in. The trucks not even going that fast and in no way has to yield to his right
Negative. People merging are required to yield to those already on the highway. Trucker was in the right 110% and that driver of that car needs to turn in their license.
There are millions of people unfortunately, with your same mindset. You are 100% WRONG. Traffic on the highway hold the right of way and don't have to do a damn thing to assist you. It's YOUR job to slow, speed up and fit in between traffic in a manner that doesn't force them to change their lane or their speed. In all my years of driving I have never had a problem entering an interstate without forcing someone to assist me. Not once. They MAY assist you, however that yield sign, is NOT optional. You literally have to stop and wait at yield signs if you can't find a spot to enter. Yielding to interstate traffic while entering, is literally not an option, it is required by law. There are millions just like you and when "your type" try to force your way into me in my lane like this, you get the horn. If I can't get over safely to avoid you, I WILL pit you to save my life. You clowns shouldn't be driving.
07:00 If you look in your fender mirror, when you moved left there was a minivan next to you with a car next to him in the fast lane. You almost caused a big wreck and yet you're calling out the pickup truck.😳
You can’t really blame him because people react irrationally when they feel threatened. He was trying to do everything possible not to be stopped by this uhaul lunatic
@@Rico401Prov I get it, but you need to check your mirrors when both lanes to your left are full and you're making a lane change in that direction. Best thing to do is just slow down and let him go. And yes, that is way easier said than done.
@@PERFECTLS3 I also noticed that. I think that in these cases where there is more people on the road, the best way to act is, obviously not changing lane without looking, but as the driver has to react quickly and maybe had no time to look, the best thing is to break all you can but not changing line, cause that way if someone is at risk, that would be the stupid break checking guy, who can recieve the hit from behind if the truck cant stop so fast cause of heavy load. I think that is the best way cause you dont need to think so much to do it, and you avoid putting others on risk avoiding the problem with the stupid guy, who is the real cause of the problem in that situation
@Future Pants Honestly I'm not sure what you are trying to say. If you are saying that the pickup towing the uhaul would be responsible if the semi was to move left and cause a collision with either or both of them, I disagree. The pickup did not force the semi over, he moved of his own accord. He is in an 18 wheeler that weighs somewhere around 20 tons empty and 40 tons at gross and should maintain his lane until clear. He could also just back out of it and let the moron go or if an emergency route was needed the shoulder was wide enough and unoccupied. I understand why it happened, and feel for the CDL holder as I too am a truck driver, but you don't take out innocent people if you get brake checked by an idiot, you find an empty space to move to like the shoulder or you take out the idiot brake checking you. The first brake check was mild, just back out and move on with your day. With 11 hours drive time and 600-700 miles to log, this 5 miles is best left behind you. Besides, if you are robbing a bank and I am the customer, I won't be knocking down other people, I'll be unloading my .45 👍
I do not like most truckers they tailgate knowing they can't stop it's no way to report them to a company. Cops don't care until it's too late by then the trucker killed or injured the person. Case & point 0:49 Tailgating.
5. True Legacy Trucking seems like a total A hole. Quite a few of those clips were quite obviously not the fault of the other people involved. 3:28 The car was slowing because it was taking the next exit? 3:42 OK, other car was at fault here 3:51 Enter a junction only when your exit is clear? 4:07 No other vehicles are allowed to join the highway? 4:20 Other truck at fault. Changed lanes because of the tractor you can see briefly at 4:38 maybe 4:51 Nobody is allowed to indicate and pull over? 5:05 Trucks must not stay on freeway when lanes merge. They should disappear?
That guy probably still didn't process the fact he wanted a horn for his bike when he was 4 years old and his parents didn't get him one. He loves hitting that horn a bit to much for BS reasons.
@TOPgamesTV The other truck had to slow while turning, and thus blocked the others who were already committed to going through. But as soon as the other truck cleared the intersection, our guy (like a total a-hole) pulled into the intersection, on his horn like a toddler, blocking the other guys who were still in the intersection trying to leave said intersection. This guy has the patience of a kitten on a sugar high and needs a prescription-strength chill pill.
Other commenters are mentioning that the trucker cammer at @6:13 pushes a white car out of their lane but that doesn't happen until AFTER the truck with the u-haul starts messing with him, so it's honestly irrelevant. I mean just watch his left mirror right from the beginning. When he moves over to let the silver car merge onto the highway, there is nobody behind him, there's NOBODY in his left mirror. Once he gets back over to the right lane, then you can see the truck with the u-haul start to appear in his mirror. When he starts messing with the cammer, the cammer is now distracted by him and then you can see that he KIND OF pushes the white car out of their lane but honestly it wasn't that bad, they went over and passed by with no real issue. The real problem here is the stupid guy with the u-haul, he had no reason at all to do what he did. Could the cammer maybe have just maintained his lane and not went back and forth? Probably. But I can understand how confusing and difficult this situation can be for the trucker to be put into.
Irrelevant that he nearly caused a major collision. 🤦 It's clear you don't think one should be held responsible for their actions if blame can be shifted. "I only murdered him because that other guy cut in line" Do you see how ignorant that sounds? Watch the video again, the trucker forced the white car into the next lane right as a car passes them, creating a potentially deadly situation instead of braking *EVERYONE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIER ACTIONS KAREN*
Number 5 just seemed like a road rager. The cammer should've cleared the way for the entering lane so they could enter, and several of the other submitted posts were just people executing legal road manouvres while the cammer was being pushy.
if you are talking about 4:10, then there was a car on his left, and cammer was not able to move left to clear the lane. That said, it *is* the responsibility of the merging traffic to do so safely, which the car on the right did not do. Overall, majority of the videos from guy #5 is just him being an asshole, but I don't think 4:10 was one of them.
Honestly, don't you Americans learn to look over your shoulder to make sure nobody's driving in your blind spot? Mirrors on your motor vehicles are apparently superfluous as I see it? What I see as a European observer is that most of them show selfish behavior that is life-threatening! Yes, even those who take pictures with the dashcam are not good road users! I don't even understand the concept behind overtaking on the right, because that is so life-threatening and the people who sneak in the left lane should be taken to court immediately and taken away from the car because of coercion!
1:30. At this point you have multiple options: Continue driving and tolerating them. You could continue driving at slow speeds and contact highway patrol via call. 2. Pull over to the side of the road and just hangout, stretch, etc for 3-5 minutes and they’ll get bored pretty quick.
Merging is meant to be done so it flows, nobody should have to speed up or slow down for said merging vehicle, I drive a semi here in Australia and I will change lanes if safe because so many haven't got the grasp of it yet.
@@blueeyedlady8973 Like I said I'm in a semi and if it's safe to move I will, hella lot easier than stopping 50T on a dime because people can't grasp it
The woman in the SUV that keeps switching lanes to block the truck is the same one who gets mad when her packages are late or items at a store are not available
What do you mean “let”? All the guy had to do was step on the gas! It’s not up to the trucker to slow down! There was plenty of room for him to jump in there.
@@blueeyedlady8973 in my country you’re supposed to move to the far lane to make it easier and safer for people to merge on the highway… of course you ignorant rude Americans probably never do this.
As someone who has been driving big trucks since 94 the best advice I can give to the newby truckers out there is to simply assume that every single 4 wheeler you encounter is an absolute moron and give them as wide a berth as possible.
7:52 maybe he’s just appreciating your rig. He always wanted to be a trucker, but couldn’t pass the test, so he buzzes around taking pictures for his wall back at mom’s house.
6:15 That car's merging issue wasn't yours to solve. You obviously cut off the guy with the Uhaul trailer, anyone can see that. You changed lanes, with little notice, twice. The commentary is ridiculous. "I don't understand why this guy is so mad." Yes, he is a moron for brake checking a rig, but you were obviously the initial problem.
4:55 is there a reason you decided to not slow down when you saw them begin braking? Do us all a favor and pay attention and react accordingly. Thanks from a fellow horse owner who is tired of people acting like we don’t have live animals for cargo.
Number 7, when I am merging on to a highway, I hate when the cars driving slow down. How the hell am I supposed to merge if you keep changing your speed?..... Just go the speed you were going so that I can move in like a zipper.
6:16 Finally a great decent fella that knows the road etiquette. Stay in right lane unless PASSING. Should've put the insecure pickup wtuck person in the ditch by accepting their invitation to ram them off the road. Brake check = break check. So those who brake check should have their cars and themselves broken. If you brake check a 60-80 ton truck (40 ton limit if you're in America), you are more than welcome to feel how much those tons weigh as they are run over by it.
8:00 as a transportation manager I get phone calls from Karen’s like that F-150 driver every day. I tell them as I’m on the phone “let me pull up that trucks cameras, I watch them I almost always say something like, my driver did everything right and I have forwarded this footage to the local police so they can investigate your extremely unsafe driving and road rage” they always get mad and hang up.
@@BeeWhistler it’s amusing that assholes like this can do something so wildly unsafe and think they can report the driver. The vast majority of trucks have cameras and telemetric devices onboard.
I am never going to understand why people think they can hold up traffic by blocking the passing lane and bitch about the not courteous drivers around! 🤣🤣 Omg seriously?
7:00 this guy is talking about this guy in front meanwhile you can see in the left mirror that he cuts off an suv really bad. It's sometimes better to just rear end the idiot instead of side swiping a bystander.
No its not.. lost work, loss of a load.. potential lawsuit.. why all trucks are fitted with a dash cam.. also why defensive driving comes into play you look at what's in front and see potential risks that could happen.. i.e. especially coming up to interchanges or exits/entry.. you move over to the farthest lane to avoid this.. as a trucker can do serious damage to the car and persons inside.. seen some messed up accidents..
Honestly I've learned alot about the semis. I used to cut in and out of traffic non stop because living in Chicago your forced sometimes oh no theirs my exit not anymore.
2:16 As a kid I ALWAYS loved seeing truck drivers! I loved hearing the honking! When pertaining to slow people or near accidents people holding their horns down for like 10 seconds is just overkill, especially once you pass the person.
#5 I'm so sorry you had to wait 3 seconds for traffic to clear the intersection before you could move! And you differently need anger management classes. I drove big rigs for 30 years and never used my air horn for more then a quick beep.
I agree, the guy definatly needs anger management classes. If people don't get it with a quick beep, they won't get it when you honk like that idiot either.
0:33 I understand the no swerving, even if empty. But I don't understand the no braking. I wonder if he meant no HEAVY braking because of the risk of locking up the trailer brakes and possibly jack-knifing
No it’s because it’s liquid and it will surge and cause an accident. If he brakes really hard all of liquid in the tank sloshes forward like a big wave and makes the trailer really unstable and susceptible to spinning out
Yea with any heavy cargo truck braking you risk damaging the cargo or worst case scenario the sudden shift in the cargo causes the truck to lose stability and crash. Thats why its important to speed up if you are going to merge in front of a truck.
@@Masoncakes97 you know those tanks have wave breakers inside of them right? There will still be some waves, but not the entire tank. Thats why those tanks ahve that specific geometry, to break up waves.
I said not heavy braking, but you have to brake at some point. So did it mean he would have still braked a little, like you would at a stop sign? That's all I was asking...
7:00 judging by they way you carelessly pushed that white car out of their lane, I could only assume you cut off the U-Haul. Of course this doesn't excuse their actions after.
Yeah the trucker should of stayed put and laid on his horn. No doubt he cut that guy off trying to get over to avoid the fool failing to yield entering the highway. The big rig should of laid on his horn, maintained his lane and pitted the car if the car didn't back off. You can't risk a collision trying to avoid one like this. It's more dangerous. IMO big rigs should never swerve.
He never should have slowed down and let that car entering the highway merge in behind him. Slowing down to let him in causes everyone behind you to start braking. Less dangerous for the guy entering the highway to have to yield then for a lane on the highway to chain reaction slow down. I agree he probably cut the uhaul driver off, but the uhaul made it worse.
The one thing that pisses me off is when someone gets in front of you that won’t let you pass and keeps cutting you off I say ram them then they’ll learn
Some of this was messed up and some was just regular traffic stuff. Some people just changed lanes and had plenty of room. I bet we can look up trucker mistakes and have plenty of content to laugh at. Alot of these guys are laying on the horn for way too long, for no reason.
It takes a car traveling at 65mph about 3 seconds to stop in ideal conditions. It takes a fully loaded 18 wheeler traveling 65mph 7 seconds to stop in ideal conditions. Combine this with average reaction time and air brake delay, and you have a situation where a few car lengths following distance (normally 0.5 to 1 second) is unsafe and reckless for an 18 wheeler to maintain. If 4 wheelers don't respect that, they can cause accidents. 7 seconds is an awfully long time, sometimes.

My 2 cents
I am used to trucks being, basically, pretty good at what they do and it seems things are getting worse. Am I seeing more of what was always there, or are there more knuckleheads on the road now?
I give 18 wheelers plenty of space because I quite like this thing called life.
Hear! Hear!
Like the oil truck at 0:31. I’m sure that dumb dumb saw their life flash before their eyes 😂
I do too! I just don't get how people think they can cut off a big rig or brake check them! I always stay out of their blind spots (I know where they are). I get WAY in front before I come over and if one wants over, I flash my headlights. I also keep my ears and dashcam on! :)
Exactly! Not sure why it's so difficult for people to do this.
@@PhilG999 People don't consider the sheer destructive force a vehicle weighing 80k lbs, traveling at even a conservative 60mph can deliver on another vehicle. Rolling death.
I don't get why people wouldn't simply speed up a little when merging on the highway, I see it so often! It's YOUR responsibility to merge on the highway, other people don't have to move out of their way just for you, ESPECIALLY trucks!
I don't get it, either. Maybe it's because they're running around with the false belief that giving it a little bit of gas will drastically reduce their gas mileage (it won't). Maybe in the 1970s with huge engines and carburetors, but not since the advent of mass air flow sensors and fuel injection. And for everyone who wants to try to start an argument with me about this, I'm not talking about flooring it - I'm talking about giving it a small amount more gas. Yes, it uses fuel faster but for a shorter period of time, but you use roughly the same amount of fuel overall.
they think their signal gives them the Right Of Way. those types pop up in the comments too.
Imagine an HOV express lane entrance, that puts you right into 70+ mph traffic, and some idiot merging into the highway at 30mph and not even trying to accelerate, even though it’s a 1/4 mile merge lane!!! That’s what I and about 3 cars behind had to swerve out the way to avoid last night 😡🤜😡👊
It's because of the north east states like New York where its a law that main traffic have to move over or slow down for merging traffic
I always move over if I can, not to be nice necessarily though that is part of it, but to keep traffic flowing as well as possible. Slow traffic effects me so I don’t want to contribute to it and people tend to pass on that courtesy to others along the way. I don’t care if you cut me off or budge in front, I simply don’t have the time or desire to throw a fit.
Wow, trucker #5 REALLY likes the sound of his own horn. I mean, some of those situations where literally run of the mill basic and normal.
Exactly. He has serious anger issues. Does he really expect a heavy truck to accelerate quickly when entering a highway? How about a little courtesy.
You know what they say, if you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.
Especially unnecessary that he blasts the truck driver who changes lanes ahead of him because there's a contractor mowing the edge of the highway!
Was literally gonna say the same, that guy needs to take a chill pill
Horns are warning devices, not to demonstrate the hissy fit you are having. Be nice if all horns had a few seconds cutout switch.
6:50 - PLEASE turn that video over to the U-Haul corporation! They will SO blacklist the idiot who tried that crap with their equipment...
Mehh
At 7:00 the truck driver almost caused a wreck to his left, watch his mirror
Plot Twist: The driver accidentally stapled his balls to the steering wheel and all of his shenanigans were the result of him flailing around randomly trying to un-fuck his very life.
@@adamb89 👍
some how i highly doubt Uhaul cares about anything beyond the almighty dollar. just look at their shoddy equipment. a trailer of theirs had exposed wires inside that destroyed the turn signals on a pickup of ours and they wouldnt pay for the repairs. we never could get the signals to work right again after that so we stopped using that shitty company.
@ 5:03, why are you honking at the other truck?? They clearly have an issue out of their control and are trying to safely get on the shoulder and you decide just to be an a hole about it
@TOPgamesTV I think because there was an unexpected guardrail coming up and it surprised them. I think they were going to wait to pull over after it. The truck driver was coming up WAY TO CLOSE behind them and should have gotten over WAY back along. He should of easily seen they were driving much slower than he was and gotten over or slowed way down himself, long before he got on his ass, if he couldn't get over. The cammer in the big rig was more at fault here than anyone.
you don't drive on the shoulder at highway speeds. It isn't a travel lane and not safe. Part of my getting my CDL is how to properly stop on the shoulder of the highway and we had to do it during the driving test. Signal intent to pull over. Check your mirror making sure no one is coming up on that side of your vehicle. Start to slow down then enter the shoulder as far as you possibly can trying to avoid any part of the vehicle from being in a travel lane without leaving the blacktop if possible (Soft shoulder could roll your vehicle/trailer). Come to a complete stop and engage hazards and brakes. exit vehicle and place warning markers/flares when needed at the proper distance behind your vehicle.
Was wondering why he honked as well.
The guy was slowly drifting onto the shoulder and towards a guard rail; Looked to me like he was falling asleep at the wheel or something. I think the cammer honked to wake him up and warn him.
My father taught me respect for semi's on the road before I was ever driving. Still give that respect 50 years later.
Same here. I pull 5th wheels and trailers behind me and that’s nothing compared to the weight semi’s are carrying.
i learned it driving for Clean Harbors. eye opening to have such lousy training and be in control of 80klbs when youre only supposed to be carrying up to 60k.
Now if semis would just give the same respect.
How do you not see a semi heading your way?
agreed, they dont get paid as much and work long hours away from their family. We need to share the road and respect the people that bring our food, clothes, and gas.

6:18 I absolutely hate it when someone is getting ready to merge into traffic and they don't speed up which forces other people to slow down or to try and move to another lane. 🙄
which is why i dont budge. theyll be at fault for unsafe merge.
If I have space to SAFELY move to the left I will. If not, then I just maintain a steady speed. Too bad for the Karen who doesn't know how to properly merge with faster traffic.

2:09 When I was in elementary school, my house was located along a stretch of road where big rigs would come flying past. When I saw them I would act like I was honking the old school way of raising my arm and then pulling it down 2 times. The truckers would typically honk as they drove by. I got a kick out of that.
Meanwhile your parents probably complained to their friends about all of the rude truck drivers always honking their horns for no reason in your residential area:-).
thats wholesome
@@mikelemoine4267 😂😂😂
I was wearing an old uniform shirt as pjs and I got one trucker to blow his horn. Simply by showing him my shirt. It still makes me day when I think about it. I was in the passenger seat.
Old school? Don’t they still have air horns like that?
Right of way seems to be becoming a more difficult concept to understand. Traffic already traveling on the highway has the right of way, merging traffic is REQUIRED to YIELD by LAW
There are literally millions of people who don't understand this. It's frightening. We're going to be so better off once all cars are self driving.
Then what are you to do when someone hacks your car and takes control of it?
Better off...laughable
@@thirdgen377 Nice little boogyman argument you got there. Be AfRaId Of NeW tEcHnOlOgY!
What makes you so important you feel someone would target you specifically to have your car hacked?
Not everywhere. Where I live its 50/50 shared responsibility. You're not as smart as you think.
Surprisingly, a small number of states share the responsibility between the "merger" and "mergee" 50/50. But yes, some people son't even seem to get the basics right, they just start changing lanes into another car without even attempting to find an open spot first, as if they have full right-of-way.
As a truck driver myself, I can say half these clips are just cammers with short tempers. This is why you need to find a home daily run, it's stressful out there.
In 2020, I was a backup delivery driver for a pipe supply company and the few out of state trips I did make made me realize the trucker's life ain't for me. I love driving, but not in the cities where NOBODY knows how to drive. People are generally stupid lol.
plus a lot of them are following way to closely
@@courtneyoverbey3300 pipe for oil drilling? in my area guys that haul pipe go to rigs in the middle of nowhere. thats what i wouldnt mind doing. its one thing to pass thru a city on the highway but i wouldnt want to leave the highway in a city.
@@_AndromedaGalaxy_ I was hauling pipe for fire suppression systems. Lots of small town and intercity driving to deliver to construction sites and sprinkler companies.
Agreed. A lot of those drivers are inconsiderate jerks, but the guy with the white rig in the middle section of clips especially (seems to be a series of his) has an INCREDIBLE short fuse. Dude needs to find some way safe to blow off some steam cause he seems to have a lot of pent up anger at the drop of a hat.
OMG the #5 submitter was like that whiny little botch out of Seattle that goes around blowing his horn at everyone who offends his sensibilities. Guys: BLOWING YOUR HORN does not equal a “Dashcam Lesson.”
It boggles my mind at how many people do not understand that an onramp is designed to get yourself up to speed so that you can merge into traffic without much issue. Yet time and time again, I see people waiting until they get beyond the onramp to accelerate up to the highway speed, which causes way more issues. It really isn't that hard to understand.
What I can't stand is when I'm on the on ramp and I'm trying to match the freeway speed then some dipstick ahead of me slows down to enter the freeway. It puts me in danger because I no longer have the momentum to slot in safely.
This is my BIGGEST pet peeve while driving. It's insane how some people still think you need to crawl on the on ramp.
People think driving slower = driving safer, but that is not always the case. While driving everything is about accelerarion, relative speeds, and road conditions. If you're going too slow for traffic, you're relying on other people to react to you, and I don't know about you, but I don't trust any of these other motherfuckers on the road, let alone rely on them.
Yeah people literally do not understand, even cops speeds up and merge in
I know of an on-ramp in which I'm not sure how you get up to speed. It's a clover curve that is tight enough to have the yellow sign say 25 MPH, and the freeway is 70. Doesn't help that once it's stop curving enough to feel sage enough to go faster than 35-40 (with a passenger car BTW), you have like at most 4 or 5 car lengths to get up to speed with the freeway before you're driving on the shoulder. And my luck, I would always be behind someone who goes the 25 on the ramp.
The freeway had this major construction project going on (part 1 was before COVID, part 2 was during COVID, and this ramp is on part 3), and I hoping they change that ramps to be like what they did with two of the roads during part 2 where the road does a crossover under the bridge and there's only one pair of on and off ramps for each direction of the freeway.
What I hate is when I'm trying to drop into the gap behind someone and they brake which keeps them in the same relative location to me and prevents me from merging. The idiots tend to keep braking well below the minimum speed which endangers themselves and the following traffic on the highway. Just let me adjust as necessary and all will be fine.
@3:45 that’s not a police car that’s just a guy with a Crown Victoria 🤣🤣🤣
That 4.6 modular V8 in those cars are probably more reliable than a lot of Hondas and Toyotas. Great engine.
It's got an antenna on the back.
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 that is most likely just a radio antenna for a car radio. If it is an old p71 it's either an undercover or just someone who owns it. Either way it's a great vehicle
Looked to me like a spotlight on the left side.
Could be a cop--some of the police agencies still use Crown Vics--if it is it's an unmarked. More likely a FORMER cop car--they auction them off at the end of their service life if they're still good, minus cop-specific stuff.
@@jacobryan4569 You ever seen an unmarked car? Yeah, same antenna.
It's not a standard radio antenna, that's dumb as fuck.
You know, I'm shocked at how oblivious some people can be, like in the second clip. I mean, how do you miss seeing a big, bright red fuckin' truck?
first clip... see the car way ahead of time, still don't stop and just blow by them while honking
@@RabidWolf1966 do you not see it raining and freezing conditions, which could mean icy road, plus a vehicle to the truckers right? And it's a semi, so it can't exactly stop on a dime. Why is a car going 20 in the left lane in the first place?
I'm the one driving in that video. I still have no idea what he was thinking.
Honestly, other than the icy weather, that could have been me (the car) about 20 years ago.
It was a late Easter (Snow and ice were gone) and I'd just swapped back to my Summer/all season tires and I was driving home to Ottawa (from my parents in NB), and one of my tires had a blowout while I was in the fast lane. I immediately slowed and pulled over to the left (the closest shoulder), 4 ways on and just tried to figure out what the hell happened and what do I do next. Thankfully some guys from the highway patrol came by almost immediately and helped me change the tire. (I do wish I could have made it to the right hand side so I wasn't off the fast lane; but it was a driver's side tire that blew so ultimately it was for the better. It was around Montmagny, so I wasn't really dealing with QC or Montreal traffic thankfully)
But what I'm saying is that car in the first video did have their 4 ways on, so they probably had a sudden emergency. It's hard to tell but it looks like they went to the left first, but decided to try and move to the right shoulder instead, and probably misjudged how fast the Cammer's truck was coming with the traffic.
If they were having a sudden emergency and had to slow and get off the road NOW, I can understand them trying to get to the right side; but really they should have just gone to the closer (left) side and waited/assessed the situation before trying to go any further.
3:21 To be honest you cant have three trucks in three different lanes in parallell thats just ridiculous
Word has it that trucker @ 2:23 is still blowing the horn. Some of these truckers are complete a$$holes!
Agreed! As a trucker of 8 years, I just don't understand why he laid on the horn for so friggin long! The RV got back in their lane and he just laid into it for absolutely no reason. You give em a little blast, and if they don't respond, then you give em the horn until they do. You DON'T do what this guy did tho
Indeed, using a horn to warn other traffic is cool and necessary.
Using a horn to annoy others, invites road rage.
Depends on situation, but yeah some other truckers can be assholes, most others just trying to get to their destination safely
The amount of constant crap they have to deal with made me laugh at his horn usage. At least a horn won’t kill you, lol a brake checker will.
Considering he didn't blow up his horn on the other 2 guys (ford deserved it) my guess is he was especially tired that night
#5, True Legacy of trucking is just a horn happy A-hole. The horn is to warn people that you are there, not to "punish" them as you pass.
Yeah. His honking is pure Karen. Someone displeases him and they must know it. HONK = I'M NOT HAPPY!!!
Anytime I’m on the freeway or on the road in general, I always give truckers plenty of room and more importantly, treat them with respect.
These videos have made me way more cognizant of truckers and what they go through and how infinitely more difficult it is for them to maneuver their vehicles on a highway.
I'm entirely cognisant of how Americans spell words like manoeuvre differently to the English spelling. 😁
Plus without them our shelves would be empty in a few days. Legit it would cause insane chaos in under a week if even half just all of a sudden quit. We lost like just under 10% and it was noticeable in many areas. And we're losing more truckers by the day because of fuel prices making it not worth it for many of them. Shit, without truckers we can't even get fuel delivered to the gas stations. Haha. But so ppl love treating them like they're shit or in their way. When they might be top 5 most important jobs in the country. No hyperbole, either. I mean it. Especially for city ppl who many can't even cook these days let alone find food without a store, restaurant or Uber Eats.

Really wish people would know the difference between ”wreckless” and ”reckless”, been seeing it come up quite often lately.
I was thinking the same thing. Plus if they're reckless they're probably not wreckless.
I'm not a wreckless driver, I break a lot.
4:10 just because you have a camera doesn't mean you're right. easily could have let that car in.
Car could more easily have sped up and slotted in perfectly safely in front of the truck. Or if they're not happy speeding up them slowing down and slotting in behind if there is space. If anyone is not confident joining that sort of road then they need to take advanced lessons to become confident instead of putting other people's lives at risk.
I may not know much about driving big rigs, but I know enough about physics. It is way easier to maneuver a small 3,000lbs-ish car than it is to maneuver an 80,000lbs-ish big rig truck. Plus that cars acceleration and braking are a MILLION times faster than that big rig.

There's nothing professional about that. He probably hit or almost hit the Uhaul guy and nearly collides with at least one other car while trying to avoid the Uhaul. Watch the nose mirror. Dude was switching lanes without looking at all.
4:30 I’m on the side of the first truck because he did what he was supposed to; there was a disabled vehicle on the shoulder and he gave them some room. I get the second truck was speeding and he had to slam on the brakes but there was a disabled vehicle on the shoulder, no need to drive up and honk. That was a dick move.
I didn't see a a disabled vehicle what I saw was a highway department grass cutting machine. I'd bet it was crossing from the center median to the right and the first truck saw it and avoided it.

These videos have lead me to be so much more aware of and gracious with truck drivers.
@6:59 the trucker actually pushes someone out of their lane if you watch their left mirror.
Yup, likely did the same thing to the guy in the pickup that was brake checking him. All because he didn’t maintain speed and allow proper merging of the car coming into the freeway. Hate it when people do that. In tight, slow moving traffic sure, but in free flowing traffic there is no need for it!
The Professional drivers need to improve as much as the general public drivers
Pretty sure you're wrong there bud. Sure, there's a few bad eggs, but maybe rethink telling the guys that do something for 70 hours a week that you know better than them. The stupidity in this video is crap we see on a daily basis.
Seeing a day in the life of a truck driver through these incidents is eye-opening. It's a reminder of the challenges they face on the road. Let's all respect and share the road responsibly to ensure everyone's safety
4:30 The other truck signaled well in advance and moved over for a disabled vehicle on the shoulder.
5:00 This is why you don't follow so close and pay more attention to your surroundings. You should not have needed to hard brake there and honking at the guy pulling into the breakdown lane with his hazards on like its somehow his fault is just childish.
5:07 This is the summit area on Fourth of July Pass in northern Idaho. Not only is the driver going much too fast for conditions, but you should always be prepared to encounter much slower vehicles in the right lane on steep grades, especially at the summit brake check/chain area.
3.30-5.30 that guy was just horn happy, maybe two of those clips deserved that reaction the rest where just dumb
I was about to say the same thing about 5:07, I mean you can tell from the other semis there that were going slow because of bad conditions and a steep grade, the driver of the dashcam footage was going much too fast for those conditions.
Legend has it that trucker is still honking his horn at other truckers
LOL, empirical data suggests it. I would go so far as to say that's his reason for living.
A few too many of these seem to be truck drivers who think a horn is as good as a break. If you see a vehicle ahead with hazard flashers on, break - don't try to squeeze past and honk.
with a loaded truck using the brakes will do nothing depending on the situation, a horn can change the situation for one the brakes are not necessary.
@@williamwill182 The only way to get through to these kind of people is a viral facebook post because they don't pay attention to anything else. Something like "11 ReAsoNs TRUCKS stop slower than CARS, #7 will shock you!".
Thank you very much for not including the dude who constantly drives terribly while cursing out everyone around him.
0:26 - I might have mentioned this in comments before, but my brother-in-law drove a gasoline truck for a year or so and I heard that he once came home and sank into a chair with a thousand-yard stare on his face and said, "Three people tried to die today..."
How dramatic.
4:57 sorry that one is ONE HUNDRED Procent on the Trucker.. 7 seconds from it becomes clear the one infront IS slowing down AND even have his RIGHT blinker on to show he have to pull over.. And the trucker FIRST start to SLOW down after 6 Seconds he had PLENTY Of warning.
And his following clip DANG if you look at the truck infront you can CLEARLY see he is having issues with his tanker trailer SLIDING (you can see it's clearly pulling to the side) Properly because of the rain and the sloop so HOW DARE he slow down?
5:11 tanker is in the right hand lane. They are driving slower (likely driving to the conditions.. as it is raining). What one person feels safe driving at, and what someone else feels safe driving at will vary. Also, don't know if it's a smooth bored tank or not (because of surge). The tanker truck, when driving that slow SHOULD have had their 4-way flashers on (hazard lights), but other than that.. The cammer just seems impatient like a lot of other drivers, so IMO the cammer is the one to be laughed at here.
I agree. That's in Lookout Pass going from Idaho into Montana. It looks like he had stopped in that brake checking lane and was getting back on the road. They're a driver with my sister company, but I'm not sure exactly what specs they've got for their trailers. I know that they use a few types
I like the third guy included the kids on the school bus it’s nice having some wholesome content on this channel.
that 5th guy really loves his air horn
Legend has it that the trucker @2:40 is still pulling his horn to this day
It's not the only thing he's pulling, he's in the pickle park at night pulling on his broke back good buddies chicken.
"True Legacy of Trucking" is just a prick, honking everyone who he percieves is getting in his way. I dunno what US states' laws say on horn use but in the UK you're supposed to use it to warn other vehicles of your presence. You never need to use it on a vehicle that you think knows that you are there.
Number 5 just really wanted us to know his horn works, and he's not afraid to whine through it.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
For the 1st time in my 20 yr career I'm driving a castrated rig. Everyday is a challenge. I miss driving a truck that can get out of is own way!! Good luck to me!!
Said it before,, I could'nt drive a semi a full day without getting mad and rear end those 4 wheel POS.
Hats off to you you guys !
@1:15 when I see someone purposely holding up a trucker it makes me think, they are probably the same people that are wondering “ where’s my package, where’s that part to fix my car , my HVAC, why aren’t the shelves stocked at the grocery store etc. ……well it’s probably on THAT truck, or one like it !
Blowing their horns as though the horn is some sort of magic lane clearing device
4:13 is 100% on the trucker. Dude didn't want to let merging traffic merge, and accelerated to prevent them from safely zippering in like you're supposed to.
The traffic already on the interstate has the right of way.
Gonna have to disagree, he doesnt have to slow down to let someone in. If you're getting on a highway and you see a giant ass truck next to or near you; it's your decision to slow down or stomp on the gas and this guy was pretty indecisive. honking after he made his call was a bit much imo.
If you can’t accelerate a 1 ton car up to highway speeds effectively you should probably turn your license in. The trucks not even going that fast and in no way has to yield to his right
Negative. People merging are required to yield to those already on the highway. Trucker was in the right 110% and that driver of that car needs to turn in their license.
There are millions of people unfortunately, with your same mindset. You are 100% WRONG. Traffic on the highway hold the right of way and don't have to do a damn thing to assist you. It's YOUR job to slow, speed up and fit in between traffic in a manner that doesn't force them to change their lane or their speed. In all my years of driving I have never had a problem entering an interstate without forcing someone to assist me. Not once. They MAY assist you, however that yield sign, is NOT optional. You literally have to stop and wait at yield signs if you can't find a spot to enter. Yielding to interstate traffic while entering, is literally not an option, it is required by law. There are millions just like you and when "your type" try to force your way into me in my lane like this, you get the horn. If I can't get over safely to avoid you, I WILL pit you to save my life. You clowns shouldn't be driving.
#7 is so calm in his explanation. I love this!
07:00 If you look in your fender mirror, when you moved left there was a minivan next to you with a car next to him in the fast lane. You almost caused a big wreck and yet you're calling out the pickup truck.😳
A Kia Soul
You can’t really blame him because people react irrationally when they feel threatened. He was trying to do everything possible not to be stopped by this uhaul lunatic
@@Rico401Prov I get it, but you need to check your mirrors when both lanes to your left are full and you're making a lane change in that direction. Best thing to do is just slow down and let him go. And yes, that is way easier said than done.
@@PERFECTLS3 I also noticed that. I think that in these cases where there is more people on the road, the best way to act is, obviously not changing lane without looking, but as the driver has to react quickly and maybe had no time to look, the best thing is to break all you can but not changing line, cause that way if someone is at risk, that would be the stupid break checking guy, who can recieve the hit from behind if the truck cant stop so fast cause of heavy load. I think that is the best way cause you dont need to think so much to do it, and you avoid putting others on risk avoiding the problem with the stupid guy, who is the real cause of the problem in that situation
@Future Pants Honestly I'm not sure what you are trying to say. If you are saying that the pickup towing the uhaul would be responsible if the semi was to move left and cause a collision with either or both of them, I disagree. The pickup did not force the semi over, he moved of his own accord. He is in an 18 wheeler that weighs somewhere around 20 tons empty and 40 tons at gross and should maintain his lane until clear. He could also just back out of it and let the moron go or if an emergency route was needed the shoulder was wide enough and unoccupied. I understand why it happened, and feel for the CDL holder as I too am a truck driver, but you don't take out innocent people if you get brake checked by an idiot, you find an empty space to move to like the shoulder or you take out the idiot brake checking you. The first brake check was mild, just back out and move on with your day. With 11 hours drive time and 600-700 miles to log, this 5 miles is best left behind you.
Besides, if you are robbing a bank and I am the customer, I won't be knocking down other people, I'll be unloading my .45 👍
I do not like most truckers they tailgate knowing they can't stop it's no way to report them to a company. Cops don't care until it's too late by then the trucker killed or injured the person. Case & point 0:49 Tailgating.
5. True Legacy Trucking seems like a total A hole. Quite a few of those clips were quite obviously not the fault of the other people involved.
3:28 The car was slowing because it was taking the next exit?
3:42 OK, other car was at fault here
3:51 Enter a junction only when your exit is clear?
4:07 No other vehicles are allowed to join the highway?
4:20 Other truck at fault. Changed lanes because of the tractor you can see briefly at 4:38 maybe
4:51 Nobody is allowed to indicate and pull over?
5:05 Trucks must not stay on freeway when lanes merge. They should disappear?
@TOPgamesTV Yep, I agree the cammer should not block the intersection
That guy probably still didn't process the fact he wanted a horn for his bike when he was 4 years old and his parents didn't get him one.
He loves hitting that horn a bit to much for BS reasons.
@TOPgamesTV 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@TOPgamesTV
The other truck had to slow while turning, and thus blocked the others who were already committed to going through. But as soon as the other truck cleared the intersection, our guy (like a total a-hole) pulled into the intersection, on his horn like a toddler, blocking the other guys who were still in the intersection trying to leave said intersection. This guy has the patience of a kitten on a sugar high and needs a prescription-strength chill pill.
indeed!
This video should be called "truckers with road rage"
Other commenters are mentioning that the trucker cammer at @6:13 pushes a white car out of their lane but that doesn't happen until AFTER the truck with the u-haul starts messing with him, so it's honestly irrelevant. I mean just watch his left mirror right from the beginning. When he moves over to let the silver car merge onto the highway, there is nobody behind him, there's NOBODY in his left mirror. Once he gets back over to the right lane, then you can see the truck with the u-haul start to appear in his mirror. When he starts messing with the cammer, the cammer is now distracted by him and then you can see that he KIND OF pushes the white car out of their lane but honestly it wasn't that bad, they went over and passed by with no real issue. The real problem here is the stupid guy with the u-haul, he had no reason at all to do what he did. Could the cammer maybe have just maintained his lane and not went back and forth? Probably. But I can understand how confusing and difficult this situation can be for the trucker to be put into.
Irrelevant that he nearly caused a major collision. 🤦
It's clear you don't think one should be held responsible for their actions if blame can be shifted.
"I only murdered him because that other guy cut in line"
Do you see how ignorant that sounds?
Watch the video again, the trucker forced the white car into the next lane right as a car passes them, creating a potentially deadly situation instead of braking
*EVERYONE SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIER ACTIONS KAREN*
The truck on the bridge had me scared for a second there
Number 5 just seemed like a road rager. The cammer should've cleared the way for the entering lane so they could enter, and several of the other submitted posts were just people executing legal road manouvres while the cammer was being pushy.
if you are talking about 4:10, then there was a car on his left, and cammer was not able to move left to clear the lane. That said, it *is* the responsibility of the merging traffic to do so safely, which the car on the right did not do.
Overall, majority of the videos from guy #5 is just him being an asshole, but I don't think 4:10 was one of them.
@@scul00 Ah, didn't notice that before. Thanks for pointing that out kind stranger.
Honestly, don't you Americans learn to look over your shoulder to make sure nobody's driving in your blind spot? Mirrors on your motor vehicles are apparently superfluous as I see it? What I see as a European observer is that most of them show selfish behavior that is life-threatening! Yes, even those who take pictures with the dashcam are not good road users! I don't even understand the concept behind overtaking on the right, because that is so life-threatening and the people who sneak in the left lane should be taken to court immediately and taken away from the car because of coercion!
1:30. At this point you have multiple options:
Continue driving and tolerating them. You could continue driving at slow speeds and contact highway patrol via call.
2. Pull over to the side of the road and just hangout, stretch, etc for 3-5 minutes and they’ll get bored pretty quick.
Merging is meant to be done so it flows, nobody should have to speed up or slow down for said merging vehicle, I drive a semi here in Australia and I will change lanes if safe because so many haven't got the grasp of it yet.
THIS!!!!! I won’t move over for someone or slow down if there’s room in front of me and room behind me. They need to learn to merge!!!
@@blueeyedlady8973 Like I said I'm in a semi and if it's safe to move I will, hella lot easier than stopping 50T on a dime because people can't grasp it
The woman in the SUV that keeps switching lanes to block the truck is the same one who gets mad when her packages are late or items at a store are not available
#1: City horns are useless; ALWAYS go for the air horn. ALWAYS.
4:07 it looks like the truck driver is in the wrong here... why isnt he letting someone merge onto the highway lol?
What do you mean “let”? All the guy had to do was step on the gas! It’s not up to the trucker to slow down! There was plenty of room for him to jump in there.
@@blueeyedlady8973 in my country you’re supposed to move to the far lane to make it easier and safer for people to merge on the highway… of course you ignorant rude Americans probably never do this.
As someone who has been driving big trucks since 94 the best advice I can give to the newby truckers out there is to simply assume that every single 4 wheeler you encounter is an absolute moron and give them as wide a berth as possible.
7:52 maybe he’s just appreciating your rig.
He always wanted to be a trucker, but couldn’t pass the test, so he buzzes around taking pictures for his wall back at mom’s house.
6:15 That car's merging issue wasn't yours to solve. You obviously cut off the guy with the Uhaul trailer, anyone can see that. You changed lanes, with little notice, twice. The commentary is ridiculous. "I don't understand why this guy is so mad." Yes, he is a moron for brake checking a rig, but you were obviously the initial problem.
4:55 is there a reason you decided to not slow down when you saw them begin braking? Do us all a favor and pay attention and react accordingly.
Thanks from a fellow horse owner who is tired of people acting like we don’t have live animals for cargo.
Number 7, when I am merging on to a highway, I hate when the cars driving slow down. How the hell am I supposed to merge if you keep changing your speed?..... Just go the speed you were going so that I can move in like a zipper.
6:16 Finally a great decent fella that knows the road etiquette. Stay in right lane unless PASSING.
Should've put the insecure pickup wtuck person in the ditch by accepting their invitation to ram them off the road.
Brake check = break check.
So those who brake check should have their cars and themselves broken.
If you brake check a 60-80 ton truck (40 ton limit if you're in America), you are more than welcome to feel how much those tons weigh as they are run over by it.
Trucks need cattle catchers like they used to put on trains only smaller of course
i completely agree. i hope it happens and we dont see it because those are the videos that dont get uploaded.
he actually cuts off a car when he first merges to avoid the uhaul so not that great of road etiquette.
@@markloroff watch the mirror, he wasn't close enough to have been cut off. He was just a snowflake who was huwt in his ego twuck buhuu
That is what I learned from this Video: If you drive in the USA, use your horn. 🤣
8:00 as a transportation manager I get phone calls from Karen’s like that F-150 driver every day. I tell them as I’m on the phone “let me pull up that trucks cameras, I watch them I almost always say something like, my driver did everything right and I have forwarded this footage to the local police so they can investigate your extremely unsafe driving and road rage” they always get mad and hang up.
Bless you, sir... that is one satisfying mental image.
@@BeeWhistler it’s amusing that assholes like this can do something so wildly unsafe and think they can report the driver. The vast majority of trucks have cameras and telemetric devices onboard.
I am never going to understand why people think they can hold up traffic by blocking the passing lane and bitch about the not courteous drivers around! 🤣🤣 Omg seriously?
7:00 this guy is talking about this guy in front meanwhile you can see in the left mirror that he cuts off an suv really bad. It's sometimes better to just rear end the idiot instead of side swiping a bystander.
yeah he's not that great of a driver
Makes me wonder if he hit the Uhaul. Kinda seems like the guy is trying to get him to pull over.
No its not.. lost work, loss of a load.. potential lawsuit.. why all trucks are fitted with a dash cam.. also why defensive driving comes into play you look at what's in front and see potential risks that could happen.. i.e. especially coming up to interchanges or exits/entry.. you move over to the farthest lane to avoid this.. as a trucker can do serious damage to the car and persons inside.. seen some messed up accidents..
7. you are not being forced to do anything. you have no obligation to move over.
Happy father day and hope y’all have a blessed day
My stepdad taught me to respect truckers and I pray for them every night. Bless their hearts ♥️
1:04 There is a cop that should've revoked that drivers license right there.
Or just let the driver & that car become the "thin piece of meat in a truck sandwich wreck."
@@ChadSimplicio A tasty carwich.
idk why but your intro just brings me joy when i open your videos lol
I get the horn. But 40 seconds of horn 😂😂 @2:32
Honestly I've learned alot about the semis. I used to cut in and out of traffic non stop because living in Chicago your forced sometimes oh no theirs my exit not anymore.
No ones "forced" to drive like that. It's learned from poor parental drivers and becomes a piss poor culture. Good on you to break the cycle.
Exactly, people not from Chicago do not understand that you have to be an aggressive driver here unfortunately.
@@Poohbaby1993 exactly. Especially on the Kennedy or Dan Ryan your cut off so much I just say WOW now. Or really dude. Lol 🤣
2:16 As a kid I ALWAYS loved seeing truck drivers! I loved hearing the honking!
When pertaining to slow people or near accidents people holding their horns down for like 10 seconds is just overkill, especially once you pass the person.
The wide angle lens makes it seem longer than it really is.
1:24 I'd have just left them on, she wants to be in front so badly, let her be blinded by the light! That's right, that's right! LOL
I've been driving a big rig for 12 years and my head just hurts from all the stupid drivers I encounter daily
#5 I'm so sorry you had to wait 3 seconds for traffic to clear the intersection before you could move! And you differently need anger management classes. I drove big rigs for 30 years and never used my air horn for more then a quick beep.
I agree, the guy definatly needs anger management classes.
If people don't get it with a quick beep, they won't get it when you honk like that idiot either.
The problem was at least two more people entered the intersection on red lights. The first truck was fine.
4:22 man I hate when semi's and 4wheelers do that..
0:33 I understand the no swerving, even if empty. But I don't understand the no braking. I wonder if he meant no HEAVY braking because of the risk of locking up the trailer brakes and possibly jack-knifing
No it’s because it’s liquid and it will surge and cause an accident. If he brakes really hard all of liquid in the tank sloshes forward like a big wave and makes the trailer really unstable and susceptible to spinning out
Yea with any heavy cargo truck braking you risk damaging the cargo or worst case scenario the sudden shift in the cargo causes the truck to lose stability and crash. Thats why its important to speed up if you are going to merge in front of a truck.
@@Masoncakes97 you know those tanks have wave breakers inside of them right? There will still be some waves, but not the entire tank. Thats why those tanks ahve that specific geometry, to break up waves.
I said not heavy braking, but you have to brake at some point. So did it mean he would have still braked a little, like you would at a stop sign? That's all I was asking...
@@TheMookie1590 yea they’re designed to minimize surge not stop it completely. If you brake very hard and suddenly it’s still going to slosh
Thanks truckers for everything, especially during these hard times again
7:00 judging by they way you carelessly pushed that white car out of their lane, I could only assume you cut off the U-Haul. Of course this doesn't excuse their actions after.
Yeah the trucker should of stayed put and laid on his horn. No doubt he cut that guy off trying to get over to avoid the fool failing to yield entering the highway. The big rig should of laid on his horn, maintained his lane and pitted the car if the car didn't back off. You can't risk a collision trying to avoid one like this. It's more dangerous. IMO big rigs should never swerve.
He never should have slowed down and let that car entering the highway merge in behind him. Slowing down to let him in causes everyone behind you to start braking. Less dangerous for the guy entering the highway to have to yield then for a lane on the highway to chain reaction slow down. I agree he probably cut the uhaul driver off, but the uhaul made it worse.
8:33
Reckless = without any regard for safety
Wreckless = with at least some regard for safety
The one thing that pisses me off is when someone gets in front of you that won’t let you pass and keeps cutting you off I say ram them then they’ll learn
You’re part of the problem
Saw the thumbnail after doing some programming assignments. I would like to file a complaint for false advertising.
Some of this was messed up and some was just regular traffic stuff. Some people just changed lanes and had plenty of room. I bet we can look up trucker mistakes and have plenty of content to laugh at. Alot of these guys are laying on the horn for way too long, for no reason.
It takes a car traveling at 65mph about 3 seconds to stop in ideal conditions. It takes a fully loaded 18 wheeler traveling 65mph 7 seconds to stop in ideal conditions. Combine this with average reaction time and air brake delay, and you have a situation where a few car lengths following distance (normally 0.5 to 1 second) is unsafe and reckless for an 18 wheeler to maintain. If 4 wheelers don't respect that, they can cause accidents. 7 seconds is an awfully long time, sometimes.
@@jamesburleson1916 did the semi NEED to come to a complete stop, or just tap the brakes and let a person go?
number 7 almost caused another accident at 7:04, you can see in his mirror he almost runs someone into another car.
totally in the wrong
