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.

[@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!

[@Creativetruths]

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

[@KerboOnYT]

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

[@itsjustme9318]

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

[@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

[@clintonjacques8133]

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

[@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]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@drummingriffin]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@combisim]

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

[@petervick-km6on]

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

[@6568pete]

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

[@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.

[@doc3584]

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

[@Catayst-123]

I'm New to Your Channel Wow! Awesome Articulation! No Boring Automatic! Take Care Brother!

[@Mirza-519]

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

[@paulie2tanks]

You drivers are AWESOME!

[@dolguldur4706]

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

[@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.

[@blauer2551]

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

[@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.

[@charlesfrascona2073]

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

[@beegyoshi2828]

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

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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@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😎

[@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.

[@lylekaiser4000]

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

[@jimsmith9819]

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

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.

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

[@dogshowish]

The lorry sounds nice was it a two stroke diesel

[@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

[@bertjesklotepino]

if you cant see, would it not be an idea to step out?

[@phillipgarrow2297]

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

[@clikzip]

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

[@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.

[@tealcformerfirstprimeofapo22]

That spot looked like hell man. You did a good job though.

[@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,

[@royrich7336]

I've driven a verity of trucks and trailers, I'm 82 and i never heard of b trains. What are they ?

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

the guy at 14:09 has all the space on his left. Why aint he using it?

no room to work over there, but his left side is wide open. He could have taken a bigger bite out of the corner instead of cutting it tight to one side.
