WHAT A DRAG... ANOTHER GPS FAIL!!!

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.

I think most recovery drivers .....as we call them in Britain ..... are fully concentrating on solving the problem as presented to them. Upsetting the casualty driver is pointless as he (or she) will then be less likely to be of assistance in carrying out the recovery job. That's my opinion .... but I have only been doing the job for 32 years .... so I have a lot to learn !!!

Most drivers do, especially when the cargo weight is enough to get the gross weight to near 80K.

[@JohnNorris411]

It is right on his paperwork for the place that loaded him.

[@matthewbridges1438]

These people act like they know the exact amount of gallons that their receipt showed last time they got gas. It might be his ocd tendencies, I have a decent amount of OCD

[@kathyyoung1774]

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.)

[@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.

[@bigdave200]

I always like watching your videos Ron, you are so professional and always courteous. Not the typical stereo type of a tow truck driver. Keep the videos coming, and thank you for making them so we can watch.🐈🐾🐾

Should’ve had him shorten up his trailer tandem’s in order to get them out of there. And then reset them when he’s out onto the main highway for axle weight compliance.

[@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!

You probably drive a day cab, you make those turns with a 48 and day cab, he has a 53 ft trailer with a sleeper truck, that extra 15 feet makes a difference

Count yourself lucky then. there are a lot of docks out in the middle of nowhere with about 15 different ways to get there

[@MrDukes321]

So basically you're saying that the driver doesn't have common sense?

[@kpgpwi64]

Nice truck man!

[@89nissancrawler]

Give the guy some credit. he owned up to it, and at least stopped when he got stuck. It amazes me how many people refuse to admit defeat until they set it on the frame.

Good job... the driver should've pulled his trailer tandems all the way forward.
