5:20 As someone who works at a tire shop, what could have happened there is the pair could have heard the "zipper" sound that happens when the steel bands begin to snap. It's a good sound to tell you to get the hell away before you die. Only heard it once before a tire exploded but sounded like a giant left their fly open if you get what I mean.

[@thishtns]

do you think it would still have exploded if it was in the shade? was it just the heat from the sun that made it too pressurized?

[@CastleMinecrafterZ]

@@thishtns I'm guessing it had just been pressurized and after a moment started to zipper. Those tires are bound in metal so a little heat from the sun, when normally they beat the heat of friction against a several ton vehicle, shouldn't have been an issue.

4:18 You didn’t tie your load down 🤯 Is the best reaction in this video 😂😂

[@AUSSIEGARAGE_YT]

The truck stuck on the track actually did something smart for the situation. I'd you noticed he pulled the king pin to keep the train from dragging the truck. Probably still caused some damage, but way less expensive than a new rig.

[@thatguybrody4819]

then again that's an 180,000 dollar excavator being hit by a train. your wallet is disintegrating either way.

[@jtgnc7529]

I don’t think he was pulling the fifth wheel. If there’s any pressure on those jaws, you’re not pulling them open. Inside the neck of a hydraulic detach RGN, there’s a restrictor plate which flips up and down - up to keep it at ride height and not go too low, down to let you lower the deck to the ground to detach the neck and unload it. You have a couple more inches you can raise it to clear that plate, and some lowboy trailers have a valve on the rear to bypass the leveling valve and fully inflate the airbags to give you more height at the rear. This is a technique you can use for getting out of some high center situations.

[@MikeDCWeld]

​@jtgnc7529 it wasn't the fifth wheel but rather another connection point. I have no lowboy experience so I don't know the name of it. I do know that he was apparently successful and that it did mitigate the damage to the tractor.

The chances of the other guy (or you, frankly) scraping each other up while trying to LEAVE when parked that tightly together are really high.

[@Xaevryn]

@Astalthæon it's an interplant lot where we drop trailers off. They never leave private property and just move between the lot and different buildings. All of the trailers are that close together simply because we lack room in the lot. It's also a dirt lot with no lines, save a strip of concrete for the dolly legs. The lots for tankers and over the road trailers are much more spacious and have painted lines to give breathing room on either side. I totally get what you're saying, though. I'd never take a spot like that with other trucks around unless I had no choice. Even then I'd ask one or both of the other drivers if they could scooch at all.

I've worked at a truck stop for years now and I gotta say that for every polite, intelligent and skilled trucker you meet, there are 5 complete idiots that have a very minimal understanding of how to drive a truck, some shouldn't even be driving a car. There was this one trucker who attempted to pull a combine tractor (harvester) through our diesel lanes but there was no way it was going to fit so it hit the pumps on both sides and ripped them out of the ground. So then they decide to panic and try to back up at which point they hit the support poles of our canopy causing it to collapse onto the harvester they were hauling, wedging it in it's place. It took two crain's and fourteen hours to get everything unstuck.

For the first video, I believe those yellow painted pillars are called lally columns. I was on a job once where I had to install a bunch of them at entrances of a parking lot.

5:43 sounds like how I blow out my knee sometimes. Overweight, weak tread (shoes), and too much pressure (carrying stuff)

8:20 me playing American truck sim

[@Isa1ahL33]

7:10. That just ticks me off. Give truckers more space, seriously. They deliver the goods we buy from the store. Respect them! I always do .

[@MrLayton1990]

I was parked in a Freightliner M2 water truck watching this when I loled and the people I was delivering water to looked at me like I was crazy 😂😂

Every day man, every day I see something new. 17 years and still see something new. 4 wheelers never cease to amaze me.

[@AngryBerb]

I didn't know iJustine was also a trucker!

[@drakeb6168]

the best people I have ever met are usually truckers. Thanks for keeping things moving!

[@Killograms]

We need more James on these!

7:21 my father knew a guy who had this happen to him when he was driving road trains in Australia during the 90s. AB triple with a loader, a yute and construction supplies and some twat in a datsun cut across to try make the exit and pretty much stopped in the middle of the road while doing so. Road train smashes into the rear and the datsuns rear axle ended up in just behind the front seat apparently. No injuries thank god.

[@battycowboy]

At 3:25 that lady is so wrong it’s not because that drive had his landing gear down but there is a break over at that railroad crossing and lowboys should avoid those crossings

[@Tygo__036]

Check her comment, she explained that she obviously wasn’t talking about that truck

Opposite of getting cut-off: I used to drive a city bus (also 25,000+ lbs). Our fleet had a bunch of broken down buses this day. So, I was driving one of our our two back-up buses, a 1984 all steel and cast iron stick shift, former school bus. This thing was a beast! 12’ tall, 10’ wide, and painted solid white. I had to slam on my brakes because a car in front of me made an immediate, and unannounced left turn. Now, this bus isn’t exactly slowing down with any alacrity. Yes, the car behind me rear-ended me so hard that their hood could have been used to cast new bumpers for my bus!!

@5:05. A buddy of my dads had a tractor tire blow when he was leaning over top it and it sent him 18 feet up and into the tin roof. It fucked him up pretty bad but he did manage to be launched between the steel girders which did save his life. He spent 4 months in the hospital and other then him missing most of the muscle in his left forearm, as the tin stripped him to the bone from wrist to elbow, he did recover and went back to shop work within a year of the injury. He no longer worked on any type of tire as the PTSD was just too much for him. I remember going on a road trip with him and he had a low tire that I had to fill for him as just the thought had him literally shaking in his boots.

Not a trucker but I used to be an automotive person. 5:21 When it comes to blow outs on the highway with the Semi tire it's usually people forgetting that Winter air pressure is different in the Summer. Heat expands more then you think.

[@sharonsmith8504]

My grandpa worked at a plant that made windshields. And their was a woman who drove a truck he said that he loved watching her drive because of how great she handled the truck. But was curious 🤔 one thing when it came time to back it up she would jump out and another truck back it up for her. So one day he asked her about it and she said that this was one plant that had bays that she could not back up to and doing it this way made it safe for everyone. Big thumbs up for her to know when she needed help and not just putting everyone in danger ❤

[@cyril2011]

Trucker here, just starting my day. Your channel is one of many that get me through the day.

[@mrsgigglesworth]

not a trucker myself, but i’m a truckers daughter and a truckers wife. grew up inspired by my dad wanting to be a trucker, then i joined my husband as a passenger for 1 year and changed my mind 😂 some of the places he had to go were just mind blowing how he backed up in the proper spot. i could never do most of the things he has done! before i met him he drove b-trains over the rockies, and now hes switched from long haul to day trips but still drives b-trains, idk how he does it or how any other trucker does it. it’s not an easy job, it’s actually a quite dangerous job, and y’all truckers don’t get enough credit for it.

[@kellygriffith1773]

Truckin since 2001 thank y’all for this video and others like it recognizing the American truckers❤❤❤

[@brianrigsby7900]

That’s what you get!😂😂😂 3:47

[@squelchtone]

Jeremiah Burton from Donut 9:47 looks like Heath Ledger, Conan O'Brien, and Reilly from Letterkenny all had a son together.

[@XzTS-Roostro]

As someone who used to work inbound at an Amazon sort center, I have more respect with the CDL drivers and the yard crew more than those who hastily load up the pallets & trailers at the previous facilities.

[@BigUriel]

Never ceases to amaze me how so many of those train crossings apparently don't have some kind of emergency phone to immediately contact someone to tell them a truck has got stuck and warn any nearby trains, or that the train diver seens a truck stuck on the tracks and just keeps blasting the horn instead of slamming the brakes like the truck is going to do a 0-60 in 5 seconds when the train gets close.

[@alfathinofajrian258]

Thanks for bringing this one back. Much love for you guys.
