I SCREWED UP And Had To Back My B-Trains Out Of a TIGHT Spot!

[@markreindl4569]

Drove B trains for over 3 decades. Most of our deliveries were easy in/easy out (gas stations etc.) but any time I had an unfamiliar call and/or a place I couldn't see an exit from, I'd go for a walk and scope it out first. Nothing takes the "good" out of a day quicker than "Oh Oh!" 😄

[@callthemall]

Oh yeah I try to do that every time too but I had nowhere to park beforehand this time. I scoped the place out on Google maps beforehand but sometimes ya don’t know what entrance they’re going to want you to take so you just kinda guess!

[@jrob3047]

i like saying uh oh, makes the day more interesting 😅

[@juliogonzo2718]

Some places you may not have to pay anybody to unload it when you get back to your truck.

[@kennethyoung2077]

I got out to look with a 53 foot trailer, walk in and hope there was security to let me know the process for morning delivery.

[@jorgecruz2370]

I do the exact same I dive A trains even if I have to block the street for 5 minutes I just put my hazards on and go for a quick walk learned that the hard way

[@Tomcat05warpup]

I have full respect for u, someone that can back b-trains like it's a pickup truck and trailer, and work under pressure plus work in tight spaces with a semi is a legend to me. I can take advice from my dad and u when it comes to driving a large car, someone day I can use it.💙👍

[@Spooky_Gregg]

Awesome video. I know I wouldn't be that calm backing a b train up. But I know a couple guys that pull doubles and triples, and when they have to back up they use a drone. They send the drone straight up over top of their truck, so they can see cars coming from both directions and also see any blind spots nearby.

[@clintonjacques8133]

The best thing you did was not get excited when the pressure was on. Well done sir👍

[@petervick-km6on]

Walking is good for you both physically and mentally. Relieves the stress.

[@superflo9768]

I've only been on b trains for two months now. My first real challenge was after the first month I had to drop them off at a small garage on a rural road for service. Ended up having to blind side them off the road around their parked cars, between the shop and another trailer, a whole lot of getting out to look. Major kudos here.

[@havok9001]

i say some of those cars that parked right there sure move on the spot where they work at cuz the job site sure have parking spot cross from them also a truck back up or around into the area

[@Thomaslozano3292]

You have one of my favorite 379s on KZbin. You seem to really take pride in your job, and care about your equipment! Stay safe out there!

[@itsjustme9318]

How anyone can back up a B train seems miraculous to me!!! RESPECT!!!!

[@jeffreycairns767]

It's actually alot easier than you think. Backing A Trains is another story.

[@Creativetruths]

Just watching you backup gave me heart palpitations! hahaha. You have full respect from me too!

[@1dilligaf]

20 years of pulling B trains I always walked in first, so I didn’t get in those positions. But it always seems to have a way of happening know matter how much you prepare. Nice job backing out.

[@harveymcquarrie5717]

I delivered some of the utility poles inside that fence with a stretched out trombone trailer and a tri drive self loader . Well done getting around down there

[@drewrbunn]

I bet you didn't drive all over the grass like LiveBottomPinder though.

[@KerboOnYT]

Always a pleasure to watch a pro at work. Nice backing!

[@garyskowbo3564]

Excellent save! And nice that it wasn’t your regular trailers that went over the curb and threw the grass and mud.😜

[@callthemall]

You got that right!

[@dylanluhowy]

Sometimes when I’m struggling with something I just watch one of your backing videos. It’s makes whatever I’m doing seem easy by comparison haha. 😊

[@itsjustme9318]

Just discovered your channel today and I love it!!! Great to see you in the GTA!!!

[@markhauser2624]

Been there many times. It's even more fun with another 3 or 4 trucks making deliveries. I was lucky and told ahead of time to get unloaded at the cul de sac.

[@callthemall]

Lucky man! Haha

[@perrylc8812]

I’m so stressed just watching I had to fix me a drink.

[@combisim]

Haha, always check first... Especially with a longer combo. Well done though - over the blind side, and no rush.

[@vilenius187]

Your videos - especially these where you negotiate brainless 4-wheelers with 100% cool and safe manner - should be mandatory training material for all new drivers. Absolutely perfect driving.

[@dolguldur4706]

Its so satisfying watching old truck doing dirty work...new truck should remain clean..old truck should stay dirty..🤘🏻

[@drummingriffin]

Don't think there is a place you can't get into/out of Matt. Well done, Norm in England, UK.

[@charlesfrascona2073]

Respect to you, you kept your cool through the whole shit show

[@jimsmith9819]

places like this are when i loved my cab over and single 40 footer

[@clauditube12]

I feel you man. This is why I quitted trucking. I used to drive lowboy and they will send me to place where trucks have no business of being or send you to the wrong jobsite. Too stressful.

[@6568pete]

Dude, been to that place, crazy busy and no room. Hated going there. Well done getting out of that pickle.

[@stevenkovacs2766]

That place is a pita even when you unload in the cul de sac. At least everyone seems to work together to make the best of a bad situation. So glad l don't go there in the winter with snow piles to deal with.

[@terrythorp5553]

Loved my super b,s I had back one up in Sumas for a guy that just started, he turned on the wrong street😎

[@B0RN2RACE100]

I never had the urge to want to even try B trains. On that intersection you said “can’t take that lane” I would have 100 percent taken that lane. Also, would recommend getting a steering wheel spinner knob. Makes quick turns with just one hand while shifting so much easier and smooth.

[@beegyoshi2828]

Man, I love everything about trucks. Can’t wait to own a Pete like that day.

[@lylesommers5018]

You need a doctor

[@exactinmidget92]

this is my fear when it comes to trucking. i only drive a 26ft box truck and situations like this make me want to die. i think i would actually die if i ended up in the same situation on a big rig.

[@cdb989]

The streets that were mentioned in use to know them well but I have not been in that area for many many years and it looks so different

[@Mirza-519]

Good job driver , as long as you stay calm in situation like this you can get in and out of anything, #supertruckerrrr

[@blauer2551]

That would have been a get out and walk and talk situation for me, hate getting in tight spots I could have avoided

[@steventaylor5713]

You are not the first guy to get on the grass Matt and we all know backing out of there would not be a problem for you

[@AlexStevens325]

I deliver there quite often in the summer months when we're hauling lots of brick. As soon as ur said u were on eglington and going to Jane I thought to myself oh boy he's going to skycon and he's gonna turn into the driveway with thos trains lol. Good work tho man!

[@doc3584]

Whewww is right. Had me sittin on the edge of my chair!!!

[@JS416]

I deliver to Senso Building supplies all the time with 5/6 axle flatbeds for drywall. The second I saw you turning into the exit, I was yelling at the computer. Nooooooo. That area is such a shit hole!!!

[@chadmark88]

WOW . . now I know why I never drove a B-Train.

[@bobevansIW]

I was pretty good with a 40' trailer (UK), but two trailers 😳. That was some reversing buddy 👍🇬🇧

[@stevelaming3091]

[@carldillow3500]

U was good it was the spotters fault the grass got messed up

[@exelwanted575]

broo you are a bad ass for doing this shit in toronto. i drive a ford f750 bucket truck and chipper in Toronto/Etobicoke for work and sometimes it is mirror to mirror on some streets. hats off to you buddy. savage

[@jeffreycairns767]

I have a 389 with a bigger sleeper and haul 53' tandem and tridems for Loblaws. My area is generally Montreal. Many are not designed for my size truck, can barely get a daycare in some. Not fun.

[@clikzip]

I got my hazmat and tanker endorsements. This definitely makes me want to bypass the double/triple endorsement.

[@lylekaiser4000]

Figured as soon as you turned off Jane you were heading to senso. I deliver there sometimes.

[@IJS433]

They definately need to move things around! Our at least extend the sides of the road for everyone. Fully loaded trailer ripping through the grass and dirt is definately Harder on the trucks and the property

[@jeremyorr]

Definitely well planned area for deliveries.... could have like 15' of more road to accommodate Semis

[@seanmcgowan4423]

i was literally in that area 2weeks ago and did the same thing! lol I was suppose to go to city yard which was your first entrance lol its a tight little rd, turn around was good saved my but!

[@NatronFatumallafalla]

Told myself I was gonna get my cdl but idk after watching ur videos

[@phillipgarrow2297]

It almost makes you want to split the trailers up and rehook them

[@ronwells7134]

You got good maneuvering skills my friend

[@kimmullin4864]

thanks for the ride.

[@ronaldbertin9455]

When I could see the plate on the puppet. It was getting tight

[@JeffBreyer]

Look at that, a B Train from the company I work for! I haul the new Lode King trailers from the manufacturer back to our yards in Ontario! A tight spot but you pulled if off!

[@callthemall]

Did you bring in a loadking 5 axle super-b into Chatham around mid-late December?? Just wondering lol

[@JeffBreyer]

@@callthemall Actually my dad did. We both work for the same company. When he was doing that I was taking a B up to our yard near Montreal.

[@callthemall]

Ah very cool very cool… tell your dad to watch my next video 😉😉😉😉

[@LoLbeautifulsorrowx]

Man I know it doesnt compare but I cant even fathom how you backed that out. I've tried to back those in American Truck Simulator and always fuck up.

[@stephenwallace7288]

Mission from hell? Love the turbo's 😍😍😍

[@Batsiri]

@callthemall may you please assist with the tips and tricks of backing up B trains.

[@desmondmatthews7880]

It's always better to...get out & ask b4 entering unknown areas

[@flatbedder]

Can you post a how to video on how you back up B trains. I was just given a set at work and pulled into a driveway yesterday and had to back down the entire road to turn around. More stress than I enjoyed lol

[@kerrryschultz2904]

Flatbedder just practice backing up a lot. Straight backing b trains make small corrections. When backing around corners learn to use all the road particularly setting up your rear trailer initially makes all the difference . As you progress you will get a feel for the positioning and angles to get the b or super b into some very tight spots. Don't ever be ashamed to stop and get out and look if you don't know your clearances. Better a slight delay than filling out an accident report because I didn't look.The front trailer is the steering for the rear and the tractor at times has to do an extreme angle to initiate or correct an angle provided there is enough room to manouvere, but all that comes with experience. Good Luck. Ps I have had at times had to parrallel park a b train but that came with a lot of previous practice,

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]
