This was my first lone assignment out of CDL school with PRIME. I was already a nervous wreck but the cave conditions made it a million times worse. I was supposed to bump a dock right in between 2 trucks that were waiting on the dock already. I didn’t waste anytime. I got out of my truck, held up a $20 bill and waited for the first brother trucker to hop in and back it for me. I never got his name but I’m eternally grateful to him. 😂🙏🏻
@michaelharris-smith7761
He’s right most people would have cut the recording and came back backed to the dock, like they did it unassisted. I appreciate showing everyone the pitfalls. But also how people collectively put their minds together and come up with a solution. Nice work!!!!!

Dispatch: they come in here all the time with no problem. They have day cabs and 24' trailers. 😂
@brentdoege6266
That facility was built back when cabovers were the norm trailers were shorter. Everything is not that way anymore!
@andrewmorales8985
I just came across your video, listening to you talking while your driving through the caves showing everyone how driving Semi Trucks isn't an easy job...the stress that we go through to supply food, drinks, materials, etc should be a wake up call for America to appreciate truck driver's
@razr_-venum4668
I’m a new trucker, 20 years old. And this was some of the coolest shit I’ve ever watched! Thank you for this great video and this experience. I hope one day I’ll be trucking in caves💪🏽
@dons9074
Us real truckers live for these type situations there are good people in trenches
@alexhanson6299
I have nothing but respect for truckers, it’s already enough what yall go through with crazy drivers, but even worse when yall have to back in and reverse in places like that
@timbukh3
I was in a situation like that in Cleveland trying to pick up a load of railroad track with a 45 foot flatbed. This company had recently bought the building and had moved the equipment of the previous company outside. There were narrow dirt tracks to maneuver to back into the building, but the equipment was on each side of the dirt tracks blocking every move. When I saw there would not be a chance of getting in thebuilding they brought the forklift to move the trailer into position for me to back in. In the process they damaged the air line on the trailer which they repaired. Never a dull moment in trucking. Been retired since 2016 and now I drive 600 miles a year, sometimes less. Enjoying the channel. Stay safe and prosperous. Nice Peterbilt. Speaking of bad roads in Ok. When I drove Route 287 through there I thought I would need dental implants because it about shook my teeth out.
@poormanstube
Man, I like the fact that you're keeping it real . Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
@brendahopkins776

@terriellis5145

The first time I was exactly the same place you were you were, I had the same reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction!! After 21 years that is one of the harder places to get in too. Your right. Real trucking!! Lol Ms T Ellis Keep up the excellent videos Safe travels!!!
@KILRtv
I know that place. I didn't have a delivery there, but I did go out on Close Quarters training which included navigating in those tunnels. I'm glad you showed that there is a solution to getting you in if you get stuck.

I love you truckers. I drive a 40 ft class A, and I’d drive anywhere with most of you guys. Cars drive me nuts on the road these days. Most of them mistakenly believe I can stop on a damn dime. Keep driving Sir!
@MrBillmedhurst
I'm retired now, but drove for 25 yrs.. I love getting into situations like that. The tougher the better. It sure separates the men from the boys.
@Truckdaworld_Cal
I picked up right were you got stuck at, with my flatbed. Great video driver
@Truckster1
Awesome job!
@marke.saunders4803
My cousin use to work in those caves in Kansas City and she saw a couple of semi's get stuck like you did, but that was back in the '80s. I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@dominickstevens7596
Thanks! for a great video and sharing the difficulty you had in the caves. I've been in those warehouse caves many time. They're all up and down Missouri.
