I’ve been working at the Port Authority for about 16 years as a contractor for various technical companies. Port Authority in the location you were in has its own police academy about two blocks away from the 13th street garage so you probably ran into the junior cops who have an office in the Holland Tunnel. Most of the cops are reasonable but not the PA cops they are reminded almost daily about 9/11 I’ve watched the recruits get grilled and berated for not knowing the names of the cops who died at WTC some weren’t even born then. Communication is not their specialty I talk to them in many locations but unless you are a Port Authority manager or a director or a policewoman-policeman they can be unhelpful. A big delivery truck is still seen as an object of interest and as a threat to be watched, it’s the culture not the man. I have worked on computers and servers for the police department and the other departments in the office and in the field for about 16 years and the culture of the Police at Port Authority is just very different from most police officers and police stations. My views are sympathetic to you or anyone else who gets caught up with the Port Authority police department, they are bull headed and communicating to the average Joe is not a part of their design or culture. They make good road blocks and they can be blockhead’s when faced with decision making.

Happy new year bro! Good luck on the road ✊. Hello from Kazakhstan 🖐🇰🇿

[@LouiseStastny]

I miss delivering to the Port Authority...there were always ship crews to party with after. We use those 'scrubbers' as cow back scratchers in WI.

[@philipbartruff3361]

Glad to start seeing some videos again. I’ve been missing my weekly doses since around Christmas

[@michaelbochenski6299]

Without truckers everything comes to a stop. God bless you all.

[@jasonrobertson5346]

And without the police....a bank robber gets away

[@risennation1239]

Love the rig, love the trailer even more. What a great channel. Keep it rollin..

[@jedidiahsojourner1917]

Holy smokes from the ghosts of Christmas past !! Been retired for 20 years. The sounds of the chains and straps etc. Worked or a rigging company and hauled heavy & specialized anywhere in U.S. and Canada. T'was the way I made a living. Nowadays I kinda like retirement.

[@mikeznel6048]

Yeah I don't even like going out in public anymore. Every trip involves close calls, nastybrude brainless people and it takes an hour to do anything.

[@davidtoups4684]

Cool old cabover! You don't see many of those on the road anymore

[@monkeyfunk8371]

I think if they miss an opportunity to treat the public like crap they get a demerit point and dont get invited to the BBQ

[@yoshihacks2896]

I love watching your videos bro hope one day to see uu in Baltimore💯

[@dm7097]

I’m surprised that those cops were able to even walk through the area what with their big egos and all! Smh

[@JDSWeather]

The cops should think about the orange barrels behind Steve's truck where else was he supposed to park SMH Police misusing they're authority yet again

[@thistruckerslife]

Using a hand/spring clamp is a neater way to bundle up the tails of the straps. And if it’s winter weather the strap doesn’t collect as much ice / snow.

[@briant9491]

If you buy a cheap battery drill get a round bit of wood the size of a rolled up strop (strap) whatever you call it over there,put a small bolt through the middle and then nut it up, put to bits of wood on top for tail of strop to fit in, pull rigger on drill, strop rolled up in seconds

[@TruckerMRB]

Happy new year chap..Excellent as per...

[@jeanalbano6098]

happy new year Steve.as you probally know not all police are pains

[@xzqzq]

I admired the most excellent job securing the 50 gal plastic drum.

[@JimInYamaguchi]

Happy New Year to you and your family! Well, you are kind of blocking their fuzzmobiles parked there along the fence-but they ought to complain to the idiot who told you to unload there. You did, after all, leave enough room for them to get out if they had to. But whattaya want, they _are_ Port Authority cops-wannabes who couldn’t make the cut for NYPD or even Jersey City! 🤣 Looking forward to the video of your swing down to Philly to deliver the generator!

[@c7adventures376]

Sweet. Im just at the beginning and apparently its going to show something that could happen more often but is hardly seen. The good old " me first flashers" aka hazard lights. I know that they are needed in some situations, although im sure they dont change the law. The funniest part is how lots of car drivers do this in front of schools or in fire zones. They believe they can stop anywhere they want as long as they have flashers going. Pretty interesting subject thats is not often discussed. 🤔

[@CoasterChaser4500]

You now witness the problem with the old big cities they where not built for your size of tractor trailer,have been there most of the old sections of town where built when 36-40 foot trailers and day cab tractors. You did good let there actions roll off your back ,video speaks volumes just as they have body cams your cam does the same for you., Happy New Year safe travels,in the Fire service we “ Everyone goes Home”

[@tresfingeros]

Hey driver don't feel bad, having lived in Jersey while stationed in Philadelphia Naval ship yard and drove OTR for a company out of seacacus ( in N. Jersey) ...Jersey cops have an Attitude ...🤔😠

[@repalmore]

Only one time did I have trouble with unloading at a customers yard. I told the gate guard that I will be happy to take this to our yard and the company will have to pay unload, storage, load and additional millage. Just sign here. He waved me through after that.

[@ronaldfulton1175]

Tip: lube that strap winder with food grade anti-seize. No mess with it like Never-Seize...does the same job better because it it non-staining, won't absorb into your skin or anything else. And it is non-toxic. It's available up to 2000-some degree capability. I threw away all my Never Seize when I discovered it.

[@YARCHLRL]

Super efficient and skilled city maintenance guy. lol.

[@ethansprofile6670]

I'm surprised they let you unstrap the machine. Are you a rigger, steel worker or a teamster?

[@kierinwolf]

i used to work for u.c. "just retired " the pa cops always thought they beter than anybody with there noses up in the air . many a issues of conflict

[@brucehodges7889]

Some of those Homeland Security people take their jobs a little too seriously. I used to go into a port every day, and some would just wave me in but others had to come out and search my truck...wtf Happy New Year

[@mikehunt7548]

You are a really nice guy going out of your way like that using your own chains, I woulda told them "they loaded it with chains overhead so you are gonna need chains to unload it" why waste more time and use your own chains if ur not getting paid any extra money

[@Upstatefire15]

Looks like there was plenty of room to move there units out

[@JV-pu8kx]

Handy tool you have there for putting away your straps!
