Some drivers watch drivers struggle to back up and some drivers just get out and safely helps

[@benitarudolphr]

Thank you for helping him because a lot of drivers would rather record and pick than help.

[@bassinsemi7049]

We all need help at some point

[@13699111]

United we stand divided we fall. Whenever I've helped anyone all I ask is they just pay it forward by helping someone else.

[@Fairwollow]

They wouldn't be picking. They'd just be angry and possibly impatient, and that's perfectly normal in these kinds of situations. I would be too

[@Fuel_pw53]

yea. good man. helping out. he need to be rewarded

[@brandonhill3746]

@Fairwollowhave to learn patience man, whenever try to rush is when bad stuff happens. Learned that a long time ago

[@NelsonJones-t3k]

I've watched so many drivers film other drivers struggle, seeking negativity instead of positivity, we need more of these guys.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Agreed

[@earlhudson6913]

I had people help me when I started. Thank you and anyone willing to go above and beyond

[@bassinsemi7049]

Stay safe❤️

[@kcwatermark]

It shouldn't even be a question of if they help, they should just help. Same in everyday life.

[@christopherogbehon164]

All truck drivers will always need help we all out here for the same thing

[@Fatbaldguy]

Awesome to see drivers helping drivers! Appreciate you driver!

[@bassinsemi7049]

[@CarlosRoman904]

I think every trucker knows that feeling 😅 trucking 9 years and some days I'm struggling so if they ask how long you been driving my response just started 😂

[@13699111]

That's the best way to handle negative trolls short answer keep moving. A percentage don't stop until they push a person over the edge.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Lol

[@md-er2wz]

Im not above knocking on doors asking for help, I tell them it's my first week alone, but I'm actually at 6 months now

[@shahid55s52]

​@@md-er2wz 6 months is still fresh. I take all the help i can get too 🤣 I remember i was stuck trying to back for hours (it was late night and i had to drop an empty to pick up a loaded. With nobody in sight except for a female yard trucker. Couldn't get her to help me cos she wouldn't even look my way even if i honked or flashed my low beam at her. At the end an older man helped me. He said just drop it in the middle and he'll put it in. And now I've come a long way 🤣 been helping other rookies whenever i see i can. Always managed to get them out of sticky situations 💪

[@psementalist]

You're a true Hero John much love, respect and appreciation for you brother

[@bassinsemi7049]

Appreciate you brother

[@haroldwhyte1633]

It's a good thing to see this driver's unselfishness. I'm even more pleased and grateful for him and the nervous driver because he came from the neighboring warehouse to assist him. Wonderful, no expectations.

I'm glad you were there to help him! I received help along my journey and was truly grateful to those who helped me instead of watching me struggle. Meant a lot to me.

[@bassinsemi7049]

It’s a hard job and we all need help sometimes

[@nightnday6675]

This was a good watch. The climax wasnt the cars piling up but when you got into the cab and couldnt find the reverse. Then backed it up one try. Awesome!

[@bassinsemi7049]

I know, right? I couldn't believe it.

[@jane9195]

Thank you for helping a fellow co worker. We all need help from time to time. America needs more people like this. The POLITICIANS CAN LEARN FROM THIS..........❤

[@bassinsemi7049]

True

[@teessideman.8253]

👏👏👏

[@geraldhanson9378]

Jane ur. Right on politicians think/dream of. Driving a semi can't even drive a car. If wanted to? But tell a real driver. Can ? Think how it work ? Can't drive a car,fly a jet, electric car,truck and. Tractors. ? And also ? Run the country ? But who. Runs. The country ? 😢 DUH. ?

Flipping m flopping

[@bugme9085]

Thanks John for backing it in for him ,I have had to do the same thing for a driver,and I had a young drive ask me to back in his W9 in. Just help them out when you see another truck driver, struggling to back his truck in a dock.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Your awesome

[@bugme9085]

Hey thanks bassinsemi, but no really, I just like to help when I can, just like you do.👍🏽thanks again driver.

[@hectors3053]

May GOD Bless You Brother. As a newbie myself with no training on backing up other than KZbin and trial and error it’s Awesome to see someone taking the time to help and eventually seeing that taking over would help the driver in need and the situation at hand. God has blessed me along my travels with people just like You. All Glory be to GOD

[@bassinsemi7049]

Much love!

[@bstrong5008]

Nice to see drivers helping other drivers. I haven't had anyone help me since i started 9 years ago but i do help drivers out if i see someone struggling. I've also listened to a few sometimes all you need is someone to listen i still remember the guy who was in sc and his kid passed away and his computer refused to get him home . I told him you do what you need to do to get home . Family first

[@bassinsemi7049]

Keep on doing that

[@larrykoadhead]

I been drive Brother for 19 yrs and people just don’t do it like this no more.

About 45 minutes or better

[@lolothelion8555]

@bassinsemi7049 Man!!!! When he cut through that pole I was thinking here we go 😅 45 minutes smh once you found the gears it was on lol 💯💯💯💯

[@eteaminc3463]

Man, Thanks for doing that. Some drivers just enjoy seeing people struggle and it makes no sense and will stand around a talk about the person and then you see somebody get knocked out then they end up needing help.

[@bassinsemi7049]

So true

[@WricNick]

This tip helped me 45 years ago. I Put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel. If you want your trailer to go left, move you hand to the left. If you want to go right, move your hand to the right. Once the wheel is turning in front of your eyes, use both hands to turn the wheel if needed. This helped me to turn the wheel the correct direction and my backing up got much better.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Love it.

[@derickiogates5791]

Brilliant.. Drive the trailer & not the tractor.. Thanks..

[@WricNick]

@derickiogates5791 👍🇺🇲

[@MarnDesigns]

I think dude was rushing because of traffic n he got nervous

[@bassinsemi7049]

My thoughts exactly

[@kennethlouviere7254]

I agree

[@justicerod]

Yeah I’m not rushing I see a lot of truckers rush

[@ATLAST960]

Just happened upon this video and I’ve been driving for a year and I’ve had LOTS of help period. And sometimes I can back in like I have 25 years and others like I have 25 days in. Well a lot of drivers have helped me a lot of times and some didn’t. It’s appreciated. New subscriber

Its always a little crazy when backing from a road some of these places be crazy but keep trucking you will get it

[@bassinsemi7049]

I’m sure the traffic blowing made him nervous

[@Peterpickle2009]

You’re a good person I love helping when I can it gives me a sense of purpose

[@bassinsemi7049]

Good recognize good❤️

[@kennethlouviere7254]

That’s being a TRUE professional driver. Even the best of us need a little assistance sometimes. It’s not just good manners, but real professional courtesy. This job has enough problems with cars cutting us off and drivers getting blamed for broker screw ups. If you see a driver having trouble backing, get off your rear and give him/her some assistance. You’d be surprised at how good karma comes back around when you need it.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Yes indeed

[@ricoralph5055]

I just recently received my CDL permit I start school soon your videos motivated me to go ahead and get them so I thank you

🤣🤣🤣 I swear that was me and my dad the 1st time we got in an automatic! We were at a dealer checking out some trucks and the salesman was showingus an automatic. "Where's the gears?! How the hell do you make this thing go!" 🤣🤣🤣 We laughed for a long time. Even the salesman laughed at us 😅

Awesome work for giving the rookie a hand. You know I feel the same when my company converted their trucks to automatic, Nobody explained to me where the shifter is and with no clutch it just feels weird to me. The small company i work for bought 10 brand new 2022 Cascadia freightliner sleeper cabs, We use to drive 95-99 Kenworth W900's

It was a big jump from manual to automatic.

[@dtm8073]

Thanks, for helping this driver out. Safe travels. 1st problem was the flip flops, 2nd problem was lack of experience. The experience he will get with time hopefully sooner than later but we all learn at different paces and that's alright as long as you don't panic. He was very lucky here to have some help especially someone to offer to back it for him. Sometimes you can get so frustrated that you can't even see properly anymore, it's like staring at a blank screen. Now the 1st problem, that's on him to grow as a man and I'm sure where he makes pick ups and deliveries there's signs that say "Proper footwear!". In his defense maybe he only wears them while driving. Didn't really have time here to change footwear. LOL.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Lol I didn’t even notice that

[@that80sflow]

He got in and said "where the gears at" I was ctfu

[@sstransportexpressllc8223]

[@connork5339]

Decent of you to help this guy. You can't always blame these drivers. You have to look at the mega carriers with their own company sponsored driving schools providing minimal training just for the purpose of getting a warm body behind the wheel.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Awesome feedback

Always keep your enemy aka pole in your mirror . You already sighted your target between pole and ditch .

Yes sir

[@offroadvehiclelover]

We all have moments no matter how many years. I only have 3 years exp with regional work, used to all kinds of docks. But this particular place took me over an hr. Building was angled, and I could for the life of me not get it straight, always crook. It was a dirt lot, so there were no lines. I've since learned to correct the issue. If you're crooked touching the driver side bumper dock, all you have to do is pull forward a bit, then turn the steering wheel to the right to angle it. GOAL a few times if needed until straight. Hopefully, this will help someone. Safe travels.

[@bassinsemi7049]

Glad you figured it out.

[@brsnorthernhorsejourney3579]

Many years ago (1993 - at least no automatics then ! 🤣) I was new to driving and having difficulty getting backed inside a steel mill. Another driver saw me struggling to get lined up and gave me some advice on what to do, which in my situation was use more of the space available in front of door to line up straight, then back in, rather than try to turn and line up while reversing. Although I haven't driven over the road in years, I still remember that encounter.

[@bassinsemi7049]

[@harryknutts8428]

There’s a fine line between helping a guy out and being involved in someone’s problem is to slightly different situations and I will help someone out if I can offer help that does not get me involved in someone else’s problem I think most truck drivers would agree with that because of the technical way everything works with safety
