I guess backing up is not a requirement for CDL!

LOL!!!

Why this "Professional" driver just didn't back up the 20 to 50 yards to get to the wide spot in the road to the left where turning around would have saves several Thousands damage to both Truck and Trailer!!

What was he thinking!!

[jevanb]

bet he wishes he had a slider hitch.lol

I think he is too high to go under the bridge.
Now he should have back up

My nephew put that on FB a few months ago, happened on 39 headed into LaPorte IN.

well that was painful to watch ... 😞

I kept looking for one of those "How am I doing" Signs on the back of the trailer. That was a mess, I see those types at my shop every now and then. The main thing they all have in common besides those driving skills, is poor attitude. They get in bad shape, and its the worlds fault for putting something in their way.

That is a bad day.

X-2 Tired, late for his delivery, confused and forgot what his trainer taught him. I always told my trainees to call me and should you fail to reach me call non-emergency 911. That happens to RV drivers also, the guy in the space next to me came in less an AC unit.

Know your vehicle height and be-aware of your surroundings.

That's not a professional, That's a rookie who lost his composure. He was where he shouldn't have been and maybe turned one street too soon. Been there, done that! I'm guessing he don't drive for that company anymore! I feel his pain though. We have all been in a predicament a time or two. Its how you handle it that counts.
It looks like he had a left turn if he would have just backed up a little.
