I just dropped my daughter off at school, drove down the road, and saw the muffin truck turning (the truck's light was green before the video started). I immediately pulled out my phone to record.

I’m a trucker. I deliver to restaurants in the city. Subway, DQ, Sonic, Waffle House, and more. Thank you to the folks that give us the right of way. Thank you for backing up. Thank you for having the patience to wait on me as I back into a parking lot from the street. Thank you for understanding that we’re in a big ass truck and we need the space to maneuver around these tight city streets!
Your welcome
Thank you
Sounds like another Sysco driver.👍🏻
I gotcha man! I always give truckers the space they need.
Nothing but poop holes in new York City
The "Hope you hit me so I can sue" types are the worst.
They can't sue. In fact they would be ticketed and found at fault . It is against the law to knowingly impede traffic and cause damage.
They be dead by that time a truck is nothing to mess with
Had some with the same mentality two years ago. I was backing into a spot in my SUV. He was behind me in a Smart car. I guess he was hom ding his ground and wouldn’t back up to let me take the spot. I couldn’t even see his little ass car even though I was looking back. He basically sat there and watched me hit him. Never honked at all. Never moved. I wanted to choke the little fuk.
@@williammcintyre8570 the truck would be the one impeding buddy 😂 the car is well behind the white line that he is supposed to be at, trucker is most definitely at fault
@@williammcintyre8570 car was in the right truck needs to plan difeerent route
I am a trucker. Once a driver didn't want to back up so i turned my tractor off and pulled out a newspaper.
🥰👌👍
Yes!
Did he finally back up respect each other
Love it!!😊
The zen of truck driving
If you received your mini muffins late, you can blame it on that car.
LoL 😆🤣😂
Not the mini muffins
Exactly!lol
I love a good mini muffin!

Rule of thumb: Always give the right-of-way to any vehicle that can flatten you.
Facts
Common sense
Agree 💯
Nah, I prefer the “let Darwinism sort them out” motto.
ABSOLUTELY
As a truck driver myself I just sit there in the middle of traffic until they get the idea. Not getting into an accident and losing my job because of you.
Just sit on the horn they will get it 😂
Agreed. Never had a situation this bad yet thankfully most people have had enough sense to move so everyone can save time on a road turn so far. I've had plenty of problems with backing up off the street and cars idling in spots blocking where I'm trying to go though.
My most recent frustration has been assholes that drive 80 mph in the left lane on a 2 lane interstate going down the mountain then slam on the brakes right before going down the bottom of the mountain and matching the car next to them at 55 mph.... Like dude use your brain I'm closing in rapidly in a 53' loaded tractor trailer honking the horn MOVE I'm not honking for fun it's for everyones safety I can't stop at this point
@@Thegaoat no they probably won't get why the semi is just sitting there honking. Common sense isn't common anymore.
Same here. I Eventually they'll back up when they realize i am in their way untill they back up.
Im in new England and trucks get 0 respect around here.
I definitely would not have put my tandems in the ditch like that.
That car WOULD be backing up if that was me.
@@redcloud2593 Oh yeah, New England hates truckers. The amount of times I've been flipped off for going the speed limit there is funny.
Winner of the ‘Douche of the Year’ award, right there. Fair play to the trucker for his patience.
He went through a red, this is 100% on the trucker.
@@babayaga7434you can turn right on red stupid
Fkn trucker can't make a right turn?
YEP! MAJOR
Driving from Texas to Kansas with a baby. My car overheating.. it's getting late 40 miles to nearest place. Truck drivers 2 of the approached my car around 11pm. I honestly didn't know how to respond I was scared and fleeing domestic violence. They were angels. So if you drivers out there remember me know I'll never forget your kindness. This was 38 years ago.
Bravo ! Not only their decency and kindness, but your voice in echoing their good acts through the corridors of time. We need more of humanity on this harmonic frequency ! B---)
This is the person that leaves their shopping cart in parking spaces when the cart return is directly behind them.
Hell yeah lazy ass people
Yup!!
in the handicapped space
Exactly.
Both types of idiots drive me crazy! 🤬
Yup, also will park in a handicap ♿️ when they are not handicap
And my boy still came thru😂
BLOCK HIM IN till the PoPo get there!!👏🏻😊
yea he should of throwed a cup of piss on his windshield as he drove by what a assho
They know how to get through tight spaces 🤣
He did that 😂😂😂
Professional driver right there
My man made that turn and didn't turn that trailer over great job
The guy in the SUV is a menace .
It's probably a they/them.
I Agree
@@BebeBonet Can't we just agree the person in the SUV is a knob?
It’s a woman!
It is brainless
That car driver is the same person complaining there is no mini muffins at the gas station. 😂
I didn't expect that. I'm going to use it at work. But, I'll give you credit for it 😂😂😂
As a ex cdl instructor I would have just stopped until they backed up
Prolly so.. well maybe he's on his way to deliver them an they won't back up for him so he's running late lol
Now that was f****** funny!!
Oh shit 😂😂😂
Many in this world have forgotten that Kindness doesn't cost a thing!!
agreed, what does the driver hope to gain by making the turn difficult for the driver of the big truck, It doesn't cost anything to be kind.
❤❤❤❤
Exactly!
No! I think this shit for brains, just figures “I was here first, so I’m entitled to stay here!!”. It’s a good thing I’m not a truck driver ! I would have laid on that horn! 😮😢🎉
Some people enjoy delivering negativity into the world
Respect for truckers is a must.... at least understand THEY DELIVER YOUR FOOD!!!
I’m not a trucker but there’s an inconsiderate, unkind, entitled, evil person in that little black SUV.
Gee, I thought they all lived here in so Cal...
@alarahillton1343 majority of them do, not all of them though 🤣
This is what happens when you go your entire life without ever being punched in the face.
There are SO many entitled people nowadays that need multiple punches in the face just to bring them back to reality.
I love your comment!
but theres always a first time
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@ AC THIS HOW I INTERPRETED YOUR COMMIT HOW TO GET PUNCHED IN THE FACE
I respect Truckers! I was on my way to see my youngest daughter, it was 🎄 Christmas. From RI. I had worked the 3-11pm shift. And i was trying to surprise my youngest daughter. I have 4 daughters and 2 sons. And i forgot to check the weather that night. I always do, but i was in a hurry. Anyway i hit a blizzard. Not knowing it drove right into it. White out conditions! So im go and i see this trucker come up aside me an flash his lights then he went in front of my car. Then i see another teucker come up on side of me and stay there, then another trucker came behind me. We drove like that for miles into Maine . Until i signal to get off 95, i was going up to Cambridge from Bango. But i pull onto the rest stop and thanked them because they watched over me. That was so long a go. I feel if thay hadn't done that i would of end up in a ditch somewhere, i was terrified and was thankful for the help. And protection. Andvi just knew i was safe. THANK YOU TRUCKERS!
It’s called being in the cradle for a reason
Your welcome❤
I'm a truck driver and I was into the middle of an intersection, turning left and a lady pulled too far out into the middle of the road and would not back up! She had no one behind her and I couldn't back up. I wound down my window and motioned for her to back up and she got out of her car and cursed at me and I told her I was making that turn, she'd better move back, otherwise we were both gonna just sit there and piss other traffic off! She had a car full of kids and she finally saw the writing on the wall and backed up! I yelled out my window "thank you" and went on my way.
This driver is actually behind the line.
Some people enjoy making life harder for everyone else, but let someone mess with them, and they think the world owes them.
So true!
I'd have been the one who messes with them.
Some people are oblivious
Typical narcissistic behavior .
@@coreywilson5632 I bet you complain a lot. Why would you do that?
As a trucker I notice and appreciate very much any courtesy given to me by motorists, and give thanks and/or try to do the same in return. If you give in this world, you will receive.
I drive on the cross bronx weekly, and am so aware of the tough job truckers have, im a left lane driver but always go outta my way to let truckers in, can't stand the Karen's in the range rovers and bimmers that have no idea what its like to change lanes with a 40 foot trailer! Love when truckers flash back after I create a sudden pocket for them to sneak in.
Well said! I'm not a trucker but haul a trailer, so I believe you get back the same energy you put out ... And there's always gonna bea few idiots. When I was younger I'd let them bother me, but now I just tell myself it's the cost of doing business.
@@stevepompei3694 Cross Bronx is the absolute worst area I've been with my truck/trailer. I made the mistake of taking a job out there (I'm from NJ) and haven't even crossed the GW ever since. Give a lotta credit to the guys that routinely service that whole area.
Good on you pal 🍻
On VERY rare occasion. Seems to be getting rarer by the day.
To be fair the car is not required to back up has he was behind the stop line and also had a green light looks like the truck didn't prepare for the sharp turn as he was in the shoulder on the opposite side of the road but also it doesn't take much to just back up and give a bit extra room for the rookie drivers
You did a wonderful job! My son was a trucker and I try to help you all I can!! God Bless!!!🚛🚚🚛
Some people are just assholes.
Unfortunately not some... but most people, at least when it comes to driving
@theamused8705
That’s ok; when I’d pull up on an intersection like that, I’d put the nose of the tractor as close to their front bumper as I could and then set my brakes!!!
They either figure out what they need to do or they get a whole lot later to wherever they are going!!!!
Who’s gonna be responsible if those trailer tandems drop into that ditch and it ends up requiring a wrecker to get the truck out of the ditch????
That car driver won’t be the one eating that towing bill!!!
Not to mention having to explain to a dispatcher or safety officer that you couldn’t negotiate a tight corner without causing the truck to need a $500-$1,000 wrecker call out!!!
My thoughts exactly!
Glad someone said it, so I'm not the only asshole thinking that! 😂

Truck driver has great skill
As a truck driver I can say it looks like the person at least tried backing up a bit. Their reverse lights are still on and their vehicle is over the fog line. Some people just get nervous having to reverse especially seeing a big truck approaching. Driving can be scary, some people just could never learn to drive well. That's the nature of the road, not their fault. They look like they tried and the truck got through in the end.

I totally agree.
I know you aren't talking about the guy in th3 car who backed up and got over to make room for the trucker who should never be making this turn? Who is the real inconsiderate driver?
I always respect the truck driver's because I was a truck driver at one time. 🙂
Yes I am talking about the driver in the car he never backed up did you hear what the guy behind him was saying if you watch the car doesn’t move
Or are high out of their mind
Guy in the car probably never liked those Little Debbie snack cakes or he was looking for a payout from the trucker 😅
With all the mini muffins on board the lorry, the car driver is the BIGGEST of them all put together!! 😂😂
“Car refuses to reverse for truck”
“Truck actually makes it ( *impressive* )”
Because truckers actually know how to drive unlike car owners. If the DMV required all people to take and pass CDL testing, this type of BS would never happen. People would back up for trucks and buses without question.

It’s a huge truck for peace sake. I know I would have backed up . We have to show each other courtesy especially on these street.
Yes he does
@knrdvmmlbkkn he's a big rig, obviously he's going to go over a double solid yellow line. Even a cop won't fine him for that. Their job becomes even harder when they have to take orders to places that are very tight. We have to be courteous to each in these situations.

@@leegraves101 how much???$$$
That’s a damn good truck driver 😮
Not really. At a guess this is a new-ish driver. He was set up for highway on a two lane road intersection. Had he pulled the axles forward instead of all the way to the rear (highway set up) his required turning radius would have been a fraction of what it is here.
Had he set up for the right turn by swinging to the left to the yellow line before entering the intersection then maintained that midline as far as possible into the intersection and turning "late" the trailer would describe an arc that puts the nose of the tractor into the right lane without ever violating the lane that the SUV is in. The arc is the same but the center of the arc is pushed left and forward making the trailer tires stay on the pavement and not encroaching on the other drivers space.
@marlberg2963 -oh, so you were there? If not, STFU because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

If I had it my way we would use trains along with having a more local supply chain. But I digress.

@@traderjake8449it was explained to me that trains are too slow that's why they use trucks. for example grocery like to Alaska the trains would take too long the food would perish. I work at the DC
@@everardocalderon8720I work at the DC, so I know that for a fact that everything doesn't start from the Train. Perishables like food or even just regular non-refrigerated grocery items like water they come straight from the manufacture by truck to the warehouse and then we sort it and then put it into the trailers and then take it to their final store. My guess is that trains are only good for mass transportation and not good for anything that is quickly perishable

The context of this short makes it look like the trucker made a right-on-red, blocking the right-of-way, and the car was forced to wait through the light.
..Might explain why he's pissed enough to not back up, but also far enough over to let the truck clear the turn.
That's what sleeper cabs are for

some people are so damn ignorant and totally disrespectful it wouldn't hurt a damn thing if that driver would have put his vehicle in reverse I mean damn nobody was behind the driver that f****** driver of that car was looking for a accident good job tractor trailer driver come around that corner
When I was a teenager, my driver's Ed. instructor drilled into our heads the importance of truck drivers and how they deliver everything we need. He told us to never disrespect them on the road, and I never have. 💯
ironically, where I live, they’re the ones driving drunk, driving reckless, causing all the accidents, taking roads that they aren’t authorized to drive on taking out powerlines taking out overpasses they are the ones you have to watch out for, where I live anyways, we’ve had several instances just recently with them driving drunk into oncoming traffic and this is on the interstate and then they brought their entire rig in the one case the guy was hauling cattle find out of state. He was drunk like three times the legal limit drunk, drove into oncoming traffic, rolled his rig, the wrong way on the interstate and killed some of the cattle. Fortunately, didn’t kill any other people, but the entire semi full of cattle was loose and scattering everywhere all over the interstate all over the exit ramps all over the neighborhood surrounding and highway patrol. Everyone had to come out there people volunteer horse trailers they had to drive down into the ditches and wrangle up all these cows I came through maybe an hour after it happened and couldn’t figure out what went on until I saw the news and was thankful that I hadn’t been rolling through there when it did happen, they really don’t exercise any kind of defensive or safe driving I get scared every time I have to pass one or get me a one when I’m driving they’re always swerving into other lanes. It’s actually very terrifying.
@@jordanalandry1866 i don’t know where you live but that was the opposite description of any truck driver I’ve ever met and i know a lot of them, i call them coworkers. We go through a ridiculous amount of training and are always taught to pay attention to everything. The best drivers on the road are truck drivers by far. I drive all over. I’ve seen horrible drivers and they were all driving a regular car. I’ve also seen some amazing drivers and they were all inside a big rig. The fact that you seem to have a grudge against all big truck drivers is wild. You are much safer sharing the road with us than you are with yourselves. There are bad seeds of course but most of the time CDL drivers are extremely skilled and are watching every thing around them. If something happens in front of me I’ll notice it and come to a complete stop while weighing 80,000 pounds before you notice it at all. We are all people and we all make mistakes but most truck drivers are great at what they do while only about 1/3 of the normal drivers on the road are good safe drivers. They speed, they tailgate, they swerve. They have road rage and they drive under the influence consistently. The dangerous drivers are in a little car not in a big truck. All those accidents you talked about in your area are terrible however I guarantee you that the amount of normal vehicle accidents in your area outnumber the big truck accidents by at least 100x. If six big trucks get in a wreck than 600 regular cars get in wrecks in the same amount of time. If you want to be afraid of a certain group of drivers then you should probably be afraid of the ones that didn’t have any real drivers training at all instead of the ones who had to go to school and have background checks done and be drug tested regularly. If you get hurt in a car accident i would bet good money that accident will involve another small car and not a big truck. Btw, most of the truckers in your area are from all over the country. But if you hate us so much then don’t buy anything from anyone because we are how it got there. We do one of the most important jobs in the world and we should get the respect that we deserve especially on the roads. The reason we get in accidents 95% of the time is because someone in a regular car was driving recklessly around us and not giving us the respect we deserve. We weigh 80,000 pounds, we can’t stop on a dime. It takes up to 15 seconds to come to a complete stop which is about 1/4 mile if we are at interstate speeds. We need room when we turn. We take up both lanes because we have no other choice. But people like in this video and like you from the sound of it, pretty much spit in our faces when they do crap like this. You don’t own the road. You may use it to get to where your going but it’s our work place, the road is our office. We spend our whole life on the road so you should be courteous to us when your there. We don’t come to your office and disrespect you. If everyone would be respectful on the road and share the road then it would be much safer. In this video there are 3 drivers. One of them is highly skilled and trained and spends his entire day worrying about your safety and your well being while also delivering your food and merchandise. The second driver is respectful of the first, is a good safe driver and shares the road and the third is a disrespectful jerk who shouldn’t be on the road at all and is most likely a danger to everyone around them like I’m assuming you are. Honestly you saying truck drivers are bad at driving is like you going to the NFL and telling tom brady that he’s bad at football. We are the professional drivers after all so a non professional amateur driver calling a professional driver a dangerous bad driver is ridiculous and completely out of line not to mention disrespectful. When someone works hard for a title they deserve the respect that that title brings. You call a doctor doctor, a nurse a nurse so you should also respect a big truck driver because they are professionals at what they do. Plus you only know a fraction of the driving skills they know so you shouldn’t be grading their driving at all just like you have no place grading a college essay if you didn’t graduate from high school. The biggest danger to the road is a regular person driving their small car not a truck driver doing their job. If you are afraid to pass a big truck then you should be absolutely terrified to pass a small car.
P.s. every time you pass a big truck the driver of the truck knows you’re beside or behind them before you realize you’re beside or behind them. They know where everyone is around them at all times. I always know how many people are beside me, how close they are behind me and how close they are in front of me. Plus we are much more scared of you passing us than you are of us passing you. Every accident I’ve avoided was caused by a car not a truck.
EDIT* you say we don’t exercise defensive driving and that’s hilarious. We are taught so much defensive driving that it’s engrained in our DNA by the time we get our CDL. We are taught to know where everyone is all the time and to always keep a great following distance. The things you said in your comment is mind blowing to me. You couldn’t be more wrong. When they taught me defensive driving part of the class was for all of us to get in a van and take turns driving and as we drove we had to point out how all the other normal drivers were making mistakes and how they weren’t driving defensively at all, we had to call out all the mistakes that were being made on the road. That’s the type of “defensive” driving most drivers use which is to say they don’t use it at all and that they don’t even know the meaning of the word. Btw, the only reason you hear about so many trucks wrecking is because when a big truck wrecks it always makes the news and it’s always bad. A normal car crash doesn’t spark much curiosity and a normal car can’t haul cattle so it won’t cause as big of a scene. I was in the fire department for a while, I’ve seen all the awful accidents that happen involving cars and they are just awful. I’ve never responded to an 18 wheeler crash though. I’ve been to hundreds of accidents but never came across a big truck accident. Big trucks only make up a small percentage of the total amount of motor vehicle accidents and it’s because we are taught to drive so safely. Also, driving those big trucks is extremely dangerous and difficult, we are bound to make mistakes but it’s not because we can’t drive it’s because there are so many bad things that can happen that it’s bound to happen from time to time. Regular cars on the other hand have no reason to wreck as often as they do but it happens constantly because most people can’t drive in the slightest.
I appreciate that your driver's ed teacher was making this a point of his teaching. Both of my brothers are truck drivers, and so was my dad. Because of this, I also am very respectful of truck drivers on the road.
when was that? 1962? there were a lot less truck drivers back then and I don't think anyone is at a lack of goods in this country other than not being able to afford it or when these guys go on strike.
@@timothygodwin7575 I agree with everything you've said. Thank you for the work you do. Everything in this country would come to a screeching halt if it weren't for all the hard-working, dedicated truck drivers. ❤️
No mini muffins for this guy !!!
I would demand mini muffins before id move an inch
Someone’s got skills. And someone doesn’t have a clue.
Yeah the driver hasn't a clue...he almost tipped his load being impatient. The asshole in the car probably wants a payout. Smh this world has no chill
@@angryveteran5196 the "asshole in the car" backed up and got over onto the shoulder.. it's not the car drivers fault that the truck driver can't operate his rig...what else was the car supposed to do? Drive off the road into the ditch? Would that make you happy....asshole??
Well, legally, if the truck can’t stay in its own lane, it has to have lead and chase vehicles. If the turns are too tight for the vehicle, it is required to have lead and chase vehicles to block traffic and let it make the turn. Since he doesn’t have the required lead and chase vehicles, no one should let him make the turn. Lot of trucking companies get away with crimes like that because people are too stupid to make them stop. You make them either hit you or give up and park the rig until lead and chase vehicle show up. If they do hit you, it’s about 6 felonies simply because they don’t have the proper crew with them. 100% the trucker needs to be in jail.
@@adamr9215 lmao 😂 false. I drive trucks and you are wrong.
Great comment 🏆
As a new truck driver of 4 months, thank you tremendously to you courteous car drivers who give us space, time, patience and understanding while we maneuver up to 80,000 lbs of a 53 ft beast in extremely tight spaces.
You're more appreciated than you know 💯🔥🙏🏾
So are you, drivers! 🙏 ✊
You are appreciated for what you do for us. ❤️😎
Yo siempre doy chance a los truckers por que no es fácil maneobrar un carro tan grande en carreteras angostas
As a car driver, I apologize for the assholes out there. Thank you for carrying materials we need both for work and to live.
I reverse all the time. It's road. courtesy. Be safe and blessed out there.
I like being polite to truck drivers. One day driving I saved ones life. He was trying to pass but changed his mind. I was smart and kind enough to stay back because it allowed him to get back in the lane. I passed him and I knew he was grateful.
Back story ....the driver hates muffins😅😅😅
Respect to all these people sticking up for this truck driver here. I know we're slow, and take up alot of space. but tbh.. we really do appreciate you 4 wheelers out there giving us space and understanding what we go through. Happy new year ✊️
Every chance I get i am happy to make room. I know how tough it can be getting through traffic
The stupid thing is moving a little would have made things go faster for all.
keep to the right lane dont try to pass on a hill and dont think tailgating scares anyone
@@bikeman1x11 Agreed. You should realize a huge truck has the natural right of way over you whether you like it or not.
I drive trucks and see way more good than bad as far as people being patient with the truck. It IS appreciated by this driver for sure.
I always give way to a truck because that's the way I was brought up... polite and considerate.
Exactly! Same here! It's a pleasure to be courteous, make room for the trucker. Hard to believe this driver provoked the trucker
Me too!!! ❤
❤
It's literally basic decency and common sense😂
@@oracle__21 - I agree with you. There are only 2 problems with what you say... Most people don't understand the concept of decency anymore, and common sense is not that common either. Sad world we are living in these days.
I wish you a great day further; and please stay the nice person you are.
NO, NOT THE MINI MUFFINS ANYTHING BUT THE MINI MUFFINS!! 😭
Truck drivers literally deliver everything that we need. How do people not offer them respect?! This is America. 😒
Trucker has some skills!!! 🔥💯💯💯
No he didn't, he basically panicked and tried to force his way through. He wasn't a hundred percent sure that they could have made that I'm also a truck driver and I'm not even allowed to try that. I would have to basically have a stand-off with the car and wait for him to move or ask them and At Last Resort I would have to call the police. My company would kill me if I messed up the truck
Goes with the territory, these chaps must face this bullshit every day.
That's skill and situation assessment. He's pulling muffins. It's a light load. That means that the small dip of the shoulder wouldn't matter because the truck is in control. At most he is pulling 25k lbs. Slow maneuvering at its finest. You have to know your limits, your equipment and trust your knowledge.
However, I would have also waited the driver out because it is at a lighted intersection and they can't move until I move out their way. I would have time that day.
Signed,
A truck driver with 35 years experience.
@@MadeByGod1973 nah that trucker just got impatient. He was careful yes, but I don't see that he made a good judgment call. That easily could have ended badly with the trailer getting stuck or flipping over. I don't have as much experience as you but 100% I know at my workplace, you get caught trying something that reckless, you're getting written up at the very least. I work at the place that start with a W and the ending rhymes with fart
I always back up for trucks. Rarely do you get a “thanks” on the road, but truckers will thank you every time for this.
I think you're right. It might seem like a small gesture, but when someone backs up for me to give me space, I always wave thanks, and the car driver waves back.
We're all supposed to help each other. Unfortunately, I've been in situations as the truck driver in this clip and it sucks.
Thank you. Saves us a lot of trouble and paperwork if we hit something. Then we get to sit and talk to a supervisor that's never driven a truck in his life tell us how we're supposed to drive 🙄
Almost* every time
Affirmative
Always back up. The disrespect is unreal. If I were present I would side with the trucker if there would be an incident.
The driver in the car is a plaintiff. Where can I buy a mini muff. LOL
Car owner is like a cat who requires 1/5 of the space but demands 5/5
Some ppl are just jerks with no care in the world for others. Blessed are the polite truck driver and the person who backed up for the truck driver. Blessings to you all!
Yup! Bless everyone except that 1 idiot jerk @ss right there. Sorry I had to curse a little here 😳
What people forget is all truck drivers are working. They are bringing everyday items to stores and warehouses. Give them respect as they are missing family gatherings and drive for hours.
Exactly! I met a truck driver once. He had his rig parked a few doors down from my house.
+1👍
I also live in a farming type area and so it takes a lot of hard work to feed people.
These are the type of people.that go to the supermarket and get mad when they don't have an item..maybe it was in that trailers moron.
@@robertfinch6602⁰0
That truck driver has mad skill!!
Little Debbie always has the right of way!!!!!
Top level truck driver right there.
Volvo
And bottom level SUV driver.
Unfortunately, a top level trucker mostly has to do with dealing with the lack of skills of other drivers
Why I would always prefer being stuck behind a truck going 50 to a car racing and braking between 50 and 70.
Top level driver blowing right through someone else's green light.
🟢
Truckers are quite literally what drives America
Cant drive nothing without mechanics
True, but some shouldn't be behind the wheel. I've seen too many accidents, because of careless truck drivers.
Puts brain in trunk for safe keeping before starting car.
That truck making that turn is impressive!
