I definitely thought that parking spot was too small when I first saw it.... nice job!

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

There's a technical term. When you're driving down the road, minding your own business, and suddenly you're in a traffic jam. You fight through the jam and never see what was causing the disturbance. The phenomenon is called a "density wave." It happens whenever discrete objects are moving in a flow, like traffic on a road, water, stars in a galaxy, stuff like that. If anything happens to disrupt the flow it disturbs the density and that density wave can persist for a long time even after the initial particles are long gone. Now you know; there was a reason, you're just there for the after party.

[@hannibalect]

Cannot lie to ya big dawg. I watch your videos regardless, but ya tricked me thinking you were crossing the border. Did it recently in a car, was really hoping to see what a semi has to do crossing the border. Still love your channel bro, keep up the good work, and stay safe out there.

Awesomesauce Alex! Nice to see you finally using your CB radio. It has been the backbone of information when on the road. It served me well from 92 to 94.

[@TRUCKINGwithG]

“ this is gonna take a while!” 😂 I used to hate backing into a parking spot at truckstops.

[@RuinedItAgain]

Is he just bad at backing up or is it that hard?

[@TRUCKINGwithG]

I don’t think he’s bad at backing, it’s just always nerve-racking, knowing that there’s other tractors close by, especially in tight spaces, like some truckstops with less room.

[@Hillbilly-mgjwv]

Alex, I live like 15 minutes from that Nitro WV Pilot. That truck stop is notorious for parking accidents, and the dumb left turn upon leaving. If you don’t absolutely have to stop there, I would avoid it at all cost. There are other parking options in the area, some minutes away.

[@betzaidavazquez5579]

WoW !! Alex , that was some backing up job in the middle of those two trucks and than being kicked out, not a good place to be in and glad you left. You've got to be one of the Best new generation of truckers around. Hey what kind of music do you listen to when not recording? Looking forward to the next one. 🥰🌟✌

[@stavrosmilos165]

The desperately trying to find parking at the end of the day seems to be the only thing keeping me from changing careers. I don't think I could handle trying to park in such a tiny spot with everyone and their brother waiting on me. I know what I would be saying if I was in their shoes!

[@Blacklabels686]

Horrible set up parking you pulled to far forward past the spot before turning out. That’s why you ended up so close to hitting the grey truck and having to readjust so many times. Starting turning out when your driver door is looking into the spot you wanna go into. Will help you tremendously

[@TimothyBroome-ej1wp]

Quit worrying about other people waiting and back up. You know how 8 pull ups for 1 dock WOW

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Did you see how tight it was and with people around.... don't be a jackass just because you couldn't cut it as a driver

Just take care of yourself & your Tk. & You Trailer. That’s only thing you are responsible for. Do best you can drive safely. It’s called self-induced pressure. You can’t deliver the load unless you deliver it safely & intact.

Why do you always want to slide your tandems ?

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Many places require it so the trailer lines up with the dock plate...

[@Blacklabels686]

@@truckercowboyed2638dead wrong it’s about 50/50 on places that require it and 9/10 times it’s because they don’t want to the it bouncing as much usually due to heavier pallets. Take the trucker out of your title your seem to be as clueless as Alex is out there.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

​@@Blacklabels686I'm sure I've been to more places that had me slide so the plate would be even with the trailer...

[@Blacklabels686]

@@truckercowboyed2638 I’m sure you will say anything to defend someone who is lacking and displaying the awareness and skill set of a driver with 2-4 months of experience not 2 plus years…. Majority of places have you move tandems due to fork lift bouncing the dock plate every time in and out of trailer more severely than when tandems are to the rear. This bouncing can cause certain pallets and materials to wobble or fall. so they’ve made it company policy to have tandems to rear. Again vertical alignment has very little to do with anything as A. Most dock pates move vertically up and down. And B most trailers todays ( all of alexes he uses at GP ) are air suspension and level themselves to a certain height. Which is why If there’s thousands of lbs on the ass end of trailer it doesn’t sag low it increases air suspension pressure. Moving the tandems is polite though however especially to the forklift driver. However just wanted to point out how wrong you were and how wrong you are for defending every fault this kid has If you were any kind of a real friend you’d give the dude advice and stop condoning and defending his shitty outings as a driver. As long as he keeps prioritizing making videos over making himself a better driver he will continue to look like a fool and you will continue to look like a fool for defending such self inflicted slow growth as a driver.
