You didn't mess up at all dude. I've had to call the cops before to help me back out of road I got stuck on. You did good man.

Alex I keep reporting the scammers but he keeps showing up every time I leave KZbin doesn't do nothing about it

[@RealDamionSanchez]

Alex TIP here. I’m a local food truck driver (PFG) in Oklahoma/Arkansas. Whenever you drive those backroads or town roads that say 50 or 55 with a 35 mph curve or even 15mph curve then back to the 55mph, TAKE YOUR TIME. I do it everyday. Let the other drivers get mad. Be safe and do you! Keep up the content big dog.

[@MYDIGITALBOOK]

Thanks for this comment. Helps me know that i am not alone

[@saeedca7949]

Hi Alex. The noise you talking about is the Engine cooling fan as the temperature rises up. It goes on and off accordingly:)

[@patricksmith5781]

@Alex the Trucking Guy you definitely could have made that turn. Sometimes you need to approach your turn by owning the lane on your left. I’m from Tx. I’ve been in those small towns. I’ll own the entire intersection to make my turn. Just go slow about it and if you lose sight of your tandems, then just get out. Don’t worry about what others think. 👍🙂 And always remember that someone else has already backed in to wherever you go, so let that take some stress off of you. Even at your destination GET OUT AND LOOK! As for your issue of streets your able to go down GET A TRUE TRUCK GPS!! Also, use google maps BEFORE you get into a mess. It’ll help familiarize yourself with your area to think through the situation.

[@chrisaskfotiy967]

That noise is the clutch fan kicking in to draw air into the radiator and keep things cool.

[@SweetJesus16]

You should get a drone and hover it over the truck when parking that way you have a 360 degree camera and it would be awesome to see the truck from bird’s eye view

[@FinancialCharles]

Bro this is the coolest channel I've ever seen!! I'm also 23, I've been through ups and downs in life but seeing you and your channel is super inspiring to me!!! I work with your mom and that's how I found this channel. You are living my dream bro!!!! The sky really is the limit. I'll be tuning in for every video🔥

[@marksellinger3736]

Keep on truckin Alex! You remembered the golden rule. Truck goes forwards AND backwards. Solves predicaments we put ourselves into!

[@guybuddyman838]

Good driving man. I like the way you stay calm and think it through. Safe travels

[@JanesDough855]

You're not a doofus driver. Just doing what you can in the situation. People need to understand, and either help, or get out of the way. Peace!

[@Redsox247]

I’m working on 29 years of driving truck , and I’m addicted to watching you . Bro your to funny. But I see you’ve come a long way you’re definitely getting better at driving. Be safe have a good one .

[@RiverRatWA57]

I'm still trying to figure out Why in the World he's wearing a seatbelt while docking.....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@VDubPDX]

@@RiverRatWA57 because legally anytime the truck is in anything but N your seatbelt should be on or you can get a ticket especially while still on public roads

[@RiverRatWA57]

@@VDubPDX He's wearing it while backing into a loading dock......... That's the first thing that came off when I was out there.

[@VDubPDX]

@@RiverRatWA57 but he was still on a public road until he was backed into the dock. If it was all on private property then it is different unless required by the facility or the company you drive for. Either way nothing wrong with leaving the seat belt on while backing.

[@RiverRatWA57]

@@VDubPDX there is company policy then there is real life.......company policy stated no knifes or firearms in the truck 🤔that's yet another policy that I ignored.

[@davekenney3693]

Keep up the great work bud there are issues we all go through and that’s just life nice job bro

[@RJSAMCRO]

Great Driving and working them tight corners Alex, I can also tell you took heed to the blinker and 4-way lessons in the book 😂 Safe Travels Buddy

[@CarlosVasquez-xu8ql]

Love the vids brother keep on truckin

[@rabbigrape]

It would be great if u added a drone over head for some of these tight back ups you have to do. Its hard to make out whats happening from your visor camera. I'm genuinely wanting to learn from what you're going thru. Thanks for the videos!

[@ModestoTalavera]

Alex I made stupid mistakes too. Still have my CDL but do not drive anymore. But "When in doubt, check it out". Be safe Alex you got this.

[@brendaholmes5709]

Your an inspiration to all young drivers who think they can't do what you do.

[@DJayTooTuff]

Him reacting to the engine fan kicking in 😂

[@tristanabuyounis5833]

Texas has the most semi trucks out of the whole US

[@cmv_otr]

you are so so so nice. I wish everyone would be as nice as you on the roads.

[@derekizyk6157]

Just attempted to apply for GP Transco. I’m out of New York and was interested in OTR. Talked to a recruiter and they didn’t want me with no experience in the mountains out west and was told that we’re expected to chain. Just never had that kind of training here in NY and northeast regional. Hitting my 2 year mark in April

[@kandelinaanderson817]

Alex in super impressed with your backing skills.

[@kingdieselnate]

Good ol ganado tx TA always spots there off 59 going north towards Houston

[@ItsBooToYou]

Alex, the struggle is real. I took a freightliner coach bus to Pittsburgh and there were so many side streets my poor bus could never fit. I couldn't imagine being a trucker, my anxiety would be at 100! You did great! Thanks as always for good content!

[@williamjohns765]

Pittsburgh pa those streets are super narrow and the by passes are super tough the drivers can’t drive especially been from here i do otr

[@Ryan_Brittany]

Good stuff Alex new subscriber here! Also looking at joining gp, will see!

[@realstreettuning5359]

That sound the truck makes is the fan kicking in to cool the engine down lol

[@Wool94]

I was concerned about you the entire video and never saw you mess up.

[@mrrr407]

I don’t even have my cdl yet this is one my most enjoyed trucking channel

[@darrylwmurphy738]

When backing into tight areas, would have to set up in order to pull out with out any problems. Would have to adjust as well.

[@TruckingSasquatch]

Hey Alex, you can most definitely make that turn you’re underestimating your skill brother

[@mrwilson7617]

Just swing wide. It's a friggen trailer. Alex is way too careful to ever end up on Bonehead Truckers.

[@deebly_goncerned]

Good job getting out of that tight spot. Some of the places they send us are crazy lol. I had to back up half a mile on a state route in Kansas because of a road closure, good thing it was 3am and there was zero traffic

[@troyhawn6163]

Hey I love your videos my dude! Also did you by chance drive down east main Street in Leesburg ohio at around 10:08 am on March 14th 2023? It is a long shot but I seen a gp truck just go by my house.

[@TheAznLe]

Hey Alex, I think you were near Lolita, TX in the 2nd half of your video. I been to the same shipper and truck stop. You were so lucky it only took them 20 min to load you up. I had to waited for 2 hours haha

[@pauld9561]

I'm patiently waiting for Alex the truck guy goes to Brooklyn.

[@TheSherrybaby65]

Alex you are fun to watch... AND the noises you make crack me up...

[@SixDaysOTR]

That's fredericksburg, I live maybe 50 mins from there in brady. That's wine country. Best BBQ is in Mason. A true hidden gem.

[@teresaalbarran7887]

Hey Alex glad to see you back miss seeing your video but drive safe which I know you do how has the weather been treating you on the road

[@cbaberx]

How crazy! That town you went through is Fredericksburg...I live there!

[@Danny.45]

what program do you use to edit your videos for youtube from your go pro ?

[@mendezra1988]

Damn bro you messed up really bad.i hope you don't get fired for what you did. Sending positive vibes. stay safe out there. Hope it never happens again

[@tomjones974]

Have you upgraded your wardrobe? Looking good!

[@SeanLovesAviation]

Looked like you were driving through Frericksburg TX

[@mrwilson7617]

Alex you got this ! 👍

[@nathanswanson21]

I have a dedicated route that takes me to Markle, IN which is roughly half an hour away from FT. Wayne, IN. I go into FT. Wayne sometimes but I prefer to stay clear of it lol. I'll be watching for your big blue truck on I65 if you come that way lol. I run that interstate everyday

[@brownieelf6171]

11:36 that is a great feeling.

[@Moonrocket59]

You're were in Fredericksburg, Texas... birthplace and home of Admiral Nimitz. He was the Commander in Chief of the US Pacific fleet during the second World War.

[@kenngrim6984]

Hey Alex, you could have axel scaled at the shipper. Put steers on get weight. Move forward and put rears on. Do the math. Pull all the way on and get total & trailer tandem weight.

[@counterflow5719]

Steer weight minus cab weight equals drive axle weight.

[@joshuab1707]

As someone who is not a truck driver (yet), what is Alex blocking out towards the front of his truck by the wheel fenders?

[@ngabotuyishime7075]

Lmfoaoaoa I was watching riding with Dave and the i see this he got the same title just bit different 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cloud24patrol]

alex we have no touch freight and would love to have you. no more getting in the trailer and unloading...

[@festusfreeman9520]

" I'm so good you don't even know" 🤣😂

[@shdwcharger]

Don't feel bad Alex got mine stuck in snow recently

[@ksmadden]

That pick up was near Port Lavaca, TX, that's where I'm from.

[@richardcasey4439]

I’m good you guys! 😎

[@Spear995]

One of these days Alex will forget to cover his truck number in his videos and I won't have to look into the cab of every GP truck I pass like a dingaling.

thats the engine fan you were hearing

[@silverhawk24]

Hey Alex, that town that u were in at the start of your video is called Fredericksburg, Texas. Nice area

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good beautiful morning brother hope you have a great safe blessed week 🙏

[@Viralking206]

I’m from Arlington tx very close lol

[@AdamGbl95]

Dang GP likes sending you to some crazy places. Btw, I think the place you turned around in was a mobile home park and you were in someone's driveway 🤣🤣🤣 I know gotta do what you gotta do. I had to do a 90 degree back into a school driveway to get out of a couldesac with 2 story houses once.

[@harold1901]

I can see the fear in Alex face. It happen to me and always wondering if someone going to come out to yell at me for bring in a semi truck through their parking lot.

[@coreyjeffersonracing387]

Slide your tandems all the way forward itll make your job a lot easier backing into spots like that

[@joshalex93]

He should know this by now.. He seems to be more focused on the camera and KZbin aspect than doing the actual job..

[@truckingjourneys]

Hey Alex, that noise is the engine fan. When your engine fan kicks in it'll sound like tht

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Bandara Texas is only a few hours from me.

[@joseestrada1136]

Hey thinking about becoming a truck driver but I've read 20/40 vision is required. I have bad eye sight but I always use glasses does this allow me to qualify??

[@alexhowley9834]

Won't affect you at all, go get ur CDL

[@N3CDX09]

You made this harder than what it was. This is by far one of the easiest street backs you will ever see.

[@wilE6764]

At that intersection..making the right..the trailer will follow the truck..so when you go straight into the intersection as far as you can before you turn also in small towns move the tandems up all the way

[@brandonalexander8619]

the first part was in Fredericksburg Texas, i almost lived there at one point.

[@kinai01]

At my previous job i drove a Freightliner, and now for about a year i drive a Kenworth t680 the ride comfort is noticably different

[@carstuff4u942]

Why does it drive bad? Also, maybe you can do a video explaining all the beeps, equipment you use!

What happen to your arm did you get in a fight at the truck stop? How did you feel after unloading that truck very manly i bet you becoming a real truck..🚚

[@DoubleDsDeliveries]

Wish my 40k lbs loads were smooth I carry hazmat vehicle paint to warehouses. The liquid sloshing around gives you a wave sensation.

[@johnmagill7714]

I don't see it as a mess up. No one got hurt, and nothing was damaged. So, you're good. FYI, In Texas, they have portable scales, they can weigh you on the side of the road. So keep that in mind for future reference.

Alex your Awesome!

[@frogglidd1951]

Alex, how many times did you go out and look before backing up? My professional driver stops looks at the location and backs up several times

[@frogglidd1951]

FYI for the future slide your axles all the way forward to the sleeper. It'll help you make those tight turns easier when backing up when you're at the receiver. It's easier to slide your axles forward to make tight turns
