The company employee that sent your 18 Wheeler delivery down that bendy one lane crappy road with "No Exit" needs to be disciplined. For you to have to investigate this for yourself was a good move Safford... What a slap in the face, but indeed glad it all ended well and for you as usual keeping a clear head on matters. Merry Christmas 2 U and have a wonderful safe New Year!

they should research address and tell them a transport can't make it down a road like that. we'll deliver it to end of the lane way

Yep. I hated it when customers insisted on 'helping' me back out. Follow too closely on foot, giving unwanted, unneeded and nonsensical hand signals. All they accomplish is giving me one more obstacle to watch out for and waste my time as I have to wait for them to get out of my blind spots. Company used to send us out in 53' van trailers to do residential deliveries......pretty horrible. Retired a year ago and retirement is bliss. Hang in there driver.

ive had to help a couple 18 wheelers out of a car park at a shopping centre since cars wouldnt give way so i stepped in since i was working in that carpark and had the right gear on at the time i was a trolley collector or as you guys in america know them as shopping karts, so i directed traffic and stopped traffic as the truck was reversing had to stand at the back of the trailer but i knew where to stand at all times which was not directly behind the trailer but also stand in view of the driver if i could see him in the mirror then he could see me at all times and i was like 20 to 30 feet away from the back of the trailer while stopping cars from cutting him off,

The rest of us can't answer for the one driver that apparently hurt your feelings but that doesn't mean we all 'deserve some rude Karen'.

Mike, you're the man. Hoping you had a hot meal and a cold beer waiting for you.

Excellent driving, highly skilled !

You vented perfect and you vented to yourself and not to the customer and that’s exactly where I do it Mock and burn it makes you feel a lot better good job. Keep up the good work your videos are awesome

Way to stay calm! Cooler heads always win in the end. There's usually no reason to make a point to the customer. The customer doesn't care about you. They only want the stuff they ordered as close to the site as possible and couldn't care less whether you get stuck or not. Way to buck up, deliver, and get the hell out of there! Peace to you Mike!

What a dick. I'd have refused to deliver on a non-negligable road. Kudos to you, Mike. I'd make a lousy front point for delivery. Mama don't put up wit no bullshit.

Dang, bro. I've never seen you so frustrated. I understand why, though. Hope you have a Merry Christmas, Mike.

You're much more magnanimous than I would have been back when i was driving. I'm the kinda guy that would have left it out by the stone fence and then watched him squall!

Can the address be looked up online to see what your getting into when there loading you? Then you could see a dead end on a map.

Good to vent it out Mike, just don’t make it personal. Its work and keep it separate. After venting find the hummer in it. Awesome Mike, Merry Christmas

Jesus….they owe you diesel money after that. You drove to another damn town. I was shocked when you got turned around and still had all that road left to go down. That was a damn road not a driveway!

Glad you got out and looked the situation over. Still had a long back out, but better then getting stuck.

Nice to have a drone to fly down those long country driveway roads to save the hassle of trying to back up that big truck

Wow... that was a pain ! Getting out and taking a little walk was a very professional move. Great job !

All time best video ever!!! You are the man.!!! I had a lot of comments to say.. but held on to the end Mike, you are awesome at what you do. You deliver the best costumer service ever. Having been there done that! , you make great videos…. Having to Censor/ edit takes away half the fun of watching😆

I know your frustration. I had a customer who took me down a mud road to a dock that I could not back into because of room. It was made for box trucks not 53’ trailers.

That's some good driving right there - I would have been there through the winter backing that truck up....

Any time it looks sketchy and your gut is telling you not to,always listen to your gut,great job backing .

Ya boy was mad mad. I would have been mad too. I deliver cars and people think i can fit my semi anywhere.

You got a lot more patience than I do. I would have left it at the end of that cruddy road. Good job.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣omg I died when he started mocking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣omg that was the best!!!! We all do this lol

You're better man than I am. I would have taken it off and dropped it right in front of the truck and backed out. I love it when they tell you it's not the right stuff what do I do. I work for a delivery company, nothing like what you deliver. With smaller packages, they would open them up before I would get off the driveway and say this is not what I ordered. I would say what do you want me to do? I just deliver to whatever address is on the box, I am not responsible for what's inside it.

The joys to delivering to off grid, homestead types? Have a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year

Yep. I've been there. WAY above and beyond

I do that every day with a 284 wheel base peterbilt and 48 foot traverse HD trailer.

That was my worst fear of driving big trucks and you just handled it like a g.

hey Mike I just can't believe how much stuff you have to go through, you have the patience of Job And you have to explain everything to him so you got that peace out

Awesome backing skills driver

I seen this on a movie once....I can't remember it at all......oh yeah it was wrong turn lol. Have a Merry Christmas Driver !! Thank you for the great videos! I appreciate them!

I have a ranch, VERY offgrid, and I have trucks come in often, (concrete trucks, lumber delivery etc. NOT and easy route, no 18 wheeler could possibly make. But I try to use the same truckers each time, and know what their capabilities are. I also make large turn turnarounds so that there is NO possibility of them not being able to turnaround. (Even my neighbors 18 wheeler can use them) These people are just inconsiderate of their delivery folks. Serves them right if no one will come deliver.

Love your videos keep up the good work bro

Not trying to bash but you definitely couldn't hang at my job. Your trailer is what 38'? That is just about every drop where i work and we run 48s and have no choice but to go where the customer wants. I was 3 hours from the shop backing down a 12' wide s shaped 1/2 mile long drive way that i had to go in. Took 45 minutes and im in reverse almost as much as i go forward every day.

How much firewood did they have there?

You should try picking up milk in a semi there's a lot of small farms about the same way .

Had some pavers delivered to my house that is at the end of a dead end street with a 90 degree turn at the beginning with cars parked on both sides and only enough room for one vehicle...I looked out and saw an 18 wheeler out front and said to myself . "how in the heck is he going to get back around that corner? I wanted to watch and by the time I got outside he was gone...

You brought the wrong amount and not in the color he paid for, then complain that he had a problem with it. He should have refused delivery. That would have sent you into a fit I imagine.

🤦‍♂ARGH - wait there are only 58 stones, not 60, and they are a different shade than what I ordered. "Oh right, I stopped and sold your stones to another buyer and picked up these cheaper stones to make a $."

How do u drive with the wheel so damn low? You steering with your manhood?
