The driver was so cool about it he owned up to his mistake right away and was grateful that he was helped. Love it .

[@RonPratt]

Exactly!!! He was awesome to deal with!! He KNOWS he made a mistake. He owned it and took responsibility. Yet people still feel the need to put him down for making a mistake??? I just don't understand. The people that are criticizing him can't honestly say they have NEVER made a mistake. We ALL make mistakes. If more people handled their mistakes like this gentleman did, this would be a much better world....IMO. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@bigpatrck2]

I've seen entirely too many drivers with their heads down blindly following a GPS, or worse, the mapping app on their phone. We have a small industrial area near me and drivers will blindly roll past "No Trucks' and "Weight Limit 5 Tons" signs because the GPS tells them to go down a residential street. Then they wonder why they can't get past parked cars or make any turns. For what it likely cost that driver for your services, he probably could have purchased a GPS designed for trucks. But nothing beats using your eyes and your brains to stop and work out the problem before you get into trouble -- and those don't cost a penny. Ron, you have the patience and grace of a saint.

Within 20 lbs. That’s as close as those big scales weigh. You cannot trust what shipper put on the BOL. I picked up from one company in Louisiana that puts 20K lbs on all the BOLs even though the load is close to 45K or more. I had to go back once and make them take some off. They lie.

[@TheStefanskoglund1]

Hrrm, another driver once said : my max is 1800 metric tons and my paper usually says that the current weight is 1800 tons but sometimes .... my locomotive pulls like that those tons is a little bit overweight (the route he is bound towards has a max of 1800 metric tons...) That perfect match of loading compared with what is allowed is suspicious... and no the railway authority and administration will usually not check a train's weight compared with that a highway patrol can decide to do. :-( Hint: this is sweden and well our locomotives isn't as heavy as an american (around 85-88 short tons depending on type.)

That driver seems like an interesting character. Thanks for the video!

[@phillee2814]

And this is exactly why we, in the narrow streets and cramped confines of UK roads, use almost entirely short wheelbase cab--overs, with semi-trailers using axles further forward and longer overhangs at the rear. I wouldn't say it necessarily makes it easy, but it does make it possible, to manoeuvre in many tighter confines than those roads. We do get the occasional jam like this, but generally, it takes something like a hairpin bend or two semis encountering each other in opposite directions to cause one. Plus, we are used to it :-) The downsides include less space for a comfortable working environment for the driver and more tyre scrub on tight cornering, but it's pretty much inevitable when you allow that many of our roads were originally laid out in the middle ages, so we have to deal with what we've got!

Hey Ron, after watching these great videos, I thought it might be a good idea even though it might look silly to get your self a toy model semi and cab to have in the truck to actually show not only your workers but to show the customer what exactly you're going to do, where to hook up the cables, etc. Many times I've seen your guys somewhat confused about where you want them to hook up the cables, what the end result will be, etc. This might help them be a little more efficient and save a little time where jobs have to be done in tricky situations.
