One of Whipstock's finest...

[Pontiacse93]

he got skills

[HUMMVE100]

Iv'e seen people in compacks not even pull that off.

[slimdaddy1973]

My boss would have pissed in his pants

[skeeter011]

wow i was wating for the glad hands to give out when he cut it around that sharp.i guess i was wrong

[Zetorista66]

if somebody just removed that damned dirt pile .... everything would be allright

[AggregateDood]

First choice, back in. But had I gotten nosed in that far, after clearing the steel structure, I would have steered hard right toward the black pickup truck. That would have lined the trailer up straight with the tractor or maybe even gotten it angled a little in the opposite direction, Then when he backed up, he wouldn't have retraced his path and would have been able to get the trailer going some what in the intended direction.

[95115964]

Pro. Driver

[HellYeahhhhhh]

Waow! For sure it wasn't a woman driving that truck cuz she'd be still trying by now (this vid was posted in 2007. ahahah)

[cycoberry]

IDA CAME IN BACKWARDS FROM THE MADE LIL ROAD THERE ALLEY DOCK STYLE ONE SHOT BABY!!!!!

[cgspeeddemon1]

LOL you can tell the seasoned drivers from the rookies in here.....yes he got it done without damage but there ARE better ways to get the same thing done.....ive been driving in the oil and water well fields for years and only did things like that for the first year or two, after that you learn better ways to get it done.

[souce666]

wat a dildo

[buec123]

i woulda backed the thing in to there if i was him would hav been much easier than that, less time most likely too

[jasonlugibihl]

Little tighter jack knife then id be comfortable with . Be thats a part of being a truck driver u deal with whats givin to u and he did respectable job.

[JazzyGin]

haha, anyone who thinks that this is "good truck driving" has never driven a truck or sucks at doing so. When the video pans out so you can see the whole area, there were several other options he could have used with the same end result....but without looking like such an D-bag.

[yukonrott]

@JazzyGin i agree there were several options to consider other than jack knifing it that far.. lets see he coulda ripped the gladhands apart then be stuck there. or just go a little to far and KO the side of the truck with the trailer.. a good driver coulda done this trick in about 10 stop and go's. no need for this 437 point turn around..looked similar to a monkey fucking a football

[mccormickchainsaw]

who was drilling this well

[peterbuilt379triaxle]

@mccormickchainsaw Thats what I would like to know...hey bud.

[HappyHippieKid]

Truck driving master lol

[flight110]

Damn, guys got some skill, + long air hoses!

[brybish]

this guy gets a thumbs up from me nice driving.

[bryce3685]

how could somebody say that was sad obviously uve never had to do this before its a real pain in the ass. oil patch truckin is deffenatly the hardest truckin out there always havin to deal with muddy tight leases you cant turn around in or ice and tire chains

[kanukster]

If you think this is "skill" or "good" then you really need help! This was SAD! !

[monkeymuddman]

@kanukster i dare u to try this ive been driveing sinse i was 7 and couldnt pull this off

[kanukster]

@monkeymuddman I've been driving Tractor trailer for the better part of 25 years. Long haul, local, steel coils over 60,000#, doubles (B-trains) with almost 100,000#! Wide loads up to 17 feet wide. Tree length pine (70 +ft.) in the winter, in Northern Ontario. I've delivered Million dollar machinery to job sites. I'll say it again...This is sad!

[sackboom]

SKILL!!!

[Sreewtyui]

wow, that guys is good, very effecient

[UglyJoe2007]

good spot for a tandom but that'd suck in a tridom with a 53' triaxel trailer lol

[judgeman1103]

i aspire to be like this guy. CDL soon. Can't wait.

[iceangels57]

The key to that move is the wheel base on the truck longer the length the easier it is and the further the fifth wheel is to the back the better, and I do that at least once a day in a very tight paved yard with a 04 volvo 760 big shack I just watch the sleeper skirts, i've never had an issue or a dent. I am glad i don't pay for the trailer tires though.

[johneastmond]

Yes, it is possible for the front tractor axles to go forward while the trailer axles go backward!

[cdacaraudio]

i see turn around like that on pavement all the time here in MA never had a problem

[bgboyboy]

good thing thats on mud. we had a company guy do it on dry pavement and rip of an axle....hahaha

[richk1500]

I just did that to my boat trailer. Turned too sharp on the hard ball and tore a spindle off the axle. oops

[MsPinkDink]

do that on pavement i dare ya

[mjkwyo]

GIT R DONE

[devonte3062]

wow nice turn

[dueltruck700]

wow that was some fine driving skills right there

[sasquatch505]

this dude would have gotten fired where i live. the turning around was good ,but lookes like he needs to work on his backing skills

[schl0tte]

I was thinking that first, too. But there are always two points of view - one from outside and one from inside the truck. Huge difference ;)

[sasquatch505]

i understand that. i have been in the truck while trucks are backing and on most locations here if you cant get it the first shot you get ran off because you have to be fast. not saying i could do better now but i know people that can do this faster and better than this driver.

[richardtheone]

i could have done that .but i couldn't have done it any better..you rookies take note that all this manouvering was done to the drivers side and not the blind side

[progigger]

Nice driving!

[sterlingab]

Man, I couldn't do this guy's job. Talk about a tiny muddy lot with drilling crap all around. I hope he gets paid what he's worth.

[urdadddy1]

these guys get paid around 35 bucks an hour or more

[urdadddy1]

looks like a load of 2 7/8's tubbing!!

[petrafan2]

TUBBING?

[ausbigbanga]

Yep, good job.

[ShaneCummings08]

That was impressive.

No sarcasm implied..

[sackodicks]

why didn't he just back in off the road?

[1C7Z3H5X]

it doesnt work that way

[sackodicks]

it would for me, in a tri drive!

[tiff5355]

nice bit of driving

[milddad]

to you ass hole's who have never drove a semi before this driver is really great at what he does

[ipthing]

No joke ive seen people in suvs have harder times get out of parking spaces.

[RazorHog56]

1st: nutt'n like a small location. 2nd: nutt'n like MUD. 3rd: can he do that when the workover rig is on location and the guide wires hang'n all over the place and the reverse unit sittin the way with the pump truck and the rig hands pickup trucks sittin all over the place can't forget the flow tank and probadly a couple of frac tanks sittin on location with the sand wagon also??? but that was sum damn good drivin that I do have to amit!

[mondoman212]

HOLY !@#$ that was some awsome driving

[kreeper88]

yeah he backed it up an over to make the corner with the outhouse whcih has to be one of the worst spots to locte on on a tight corner.I've seen drivers that wouldnt have even got it turned part way around.

[aishaalanna]

lets chat

[azkcr]

dude.. those trucks are made to do that... it takes skill to not F*** anything up.. but (obviously) it can be done.. sweet vid!!

[hornswogler]

That was the stupidest waste of time ever.

[leejones2232]

that does look like one hell of a location to get in and out of, and i'd say he is doing pretty damn good, he ain't lost any of his load yet, truck is still in one piece, he ain't killed anyone, except maybe the guy who set the location up.

[MACKA944]

@leejones2232 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[cabovertrucker]

@leejones2232 well,my boss would have shot him if he see that doin that in one of his trucks!hahaha!

[dueltruck700]

it aint the drivers fault entirely ,tht looks like a bitch of a place 2 get out and into!!!

[parktag]

Not much wrong with that.

[bigredmonstatruck]

Welcome to the Truck Drivers finishing school for boys!! His Reversing could use a little work, but not bad!!

[Rochelle1555]

Nice!

[madtorque]

professional

[FlashKatIV]

Yeah,

Ive been in that situation a couple of times

Looks like a mud heaven.

[sataraid]

LOL skills at work!!

[sixstringsniper922]

definatley not bad u wanna see some of that in real life watch a walmart truck driver turn around and back into a bay not as drastic of a turn but they do it with sleeper trucks and 53' inclosed great dane trailers

[dakoda0401]

toydollskid your only 21 have you ever evin drove a 18wheeler before

[hornswogler]

evin?

[snowbiker111]

niiiiice...

[gangesex]

That driver knows what the fuck is going on. Stand back, shut-up and watch and learn. RoyalHighlander is right though. its is lucky he didnt pull off the glad-hands, but that is some damn good driving right there.

[Royalhighlander]

Most rigs have limited room to move around on.. he was lucky he had a long walking deck and didnt pull off his glad hands doing that

[TOYDOLLSKID]

i can do that in my sleep.

[woodman1241]

lol i bet he was lovin having to do that

[okanemichael]

brendan is a prick

[okanemichael]

thats what i call a u turn

[SemiNewbie]

Did the same thing last week, was a had to no choice deal and it works well as long as you got room behind you when the trailer starts to go backwards to straighten up . Cool Video :) Cheers Rick

[TimShred]

can you imagine how much harder that woulda been with a 3 nines instead of a tandem tandem?

[OcalaFlorida]

patience is the key and skill is a must. I see old farts try to back their tiny camper trailers with numerous attempts. This dude is a pro.

[mathiastheok]

That lot sucks. Id bring as dozer back and kill that white box by the exit.

[37er00]

i do that all the time

[geistigunsicher]

Now that's skill behind the wheel!

[pullmaster334]

amazing
