Should of never attempted to take that turn and cars parking to close to walkway does not help

He could've swung a little wider but with his tandems that far forward he probably was worried his tail swing would clip the cars parked/passing on the other side. On the other hand Western Express doesn't have the best rep. for hiring the best. Edit: Everything looks easier looking down on it, it's a different perspective in that seat. It's a lot you can't see.

This happened to me once in the Bronx. My GPS told me to get off the highway at the wrong exit, and the fun immediately began. And for extra spice and excitement, I was in a commercial area. I almost took out a street lamp making a left turn. I had to get out and put my tandems all the way up in order to make the turn. Folks, DO NOT EVER use Co-Pilot as your trucking GPS. Nothing but garbage. I can't tell you how many times it has put me in stressful situations.

Always double check your route and look at the satellite image in google maps. Don't just pop the address in Garmin and assume you're good. And when your delivery is in a residential area, put your truck in a staging area and walk the route you're backing into.

Fun fact: If he looks out of his passenger side mirror @ 3:40, it would appear that he doesn’t even have that big pesky 53’ trailer 😂

Get straight, backup and get into the right-hand lane. Being in the right lane should've been your first step.

I could watch more content like this. Always in the no parking.

Love NY not one person tried to help the poor driver even try and give him directions you know he is lost🤠

Wow in big trouble right here!

I would set out my triangles on opposing traffic sides, then back up to try to get the tandems as far right as possible maybe even sliding the tandems all the way forward just to be able to make that turn (correcting the weight later). At least the flip flop guy was making a left turn and not a right turn. This is pretty tricky but if a peterbilt 385 truck can do it I know any other truck can do it.

Right when I seen Western Express I knew it couldn’t go well

As a trucker I know exactly what this situation feels like! I’ve been in these predicaments a few times and man I remember every second of them your anxiety and frustration can cripple you in these moments if you don’t remain calm and the ass holes around you make it 10xs worst! This is where you have to enter your bubble and block out everything and everyone that’s interfering with your focus. Days, weeks, months & years later you’ll always be thankful for these moments believe it or not they give you all the confidence you need for future situations and they help you become a better driver.

That is a perfect time to take a break.

would this still be consider inpeeding traffic? I also dread this situation when I star driving. Just taking classes now.

Thats hard

Considering this wasn't the first rig trying to make this same turn I take it Google Maps loves this route.

That's an extremely difficult turn, when there's no parked cars. That's an impossible turn when there is parked cars lol. If he had a 48ft trailer then mayyybe he could of made this turn if he swung his trailer out far enough. But with a full 53fter, this was impossible from the start. The fact that he was able to back up enough and pull forward was the safe and smart way of doing it. Cause some drivers would still be there trying to making this turn, clippin cars in the process.

He didn’t swing wide enough to make that turn, that was all the problem.
