Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Today, Ethan, Tator, Dave, and I are called to assist a driver who was on his way to a delivery in an unfamiliar area when he found himself on a road that was closed. While trying to navigate a safe turn around, the driver ran out of space and the trailer dropped off the edge of the road and into a ditch. When the job was called in, the customer was concerned the trailer may roll over. When we got there we still found the trailer in a bad location, but at least it wasn't on the verge of a rollover. However, it did manage to come to a screeching halt right under our "ARC" nemesis, the overhead power lines!!! So, we have to avoid the power lines, get the trailer back on the road, AND make sure that BOTH of us can get turned around and go back out the way we came in. This may seem a simple task, but... Can we manage to get all this accomplished safely??? Watch and see!!!
I'm "catching up" on some of my videos that I've been holding while working on the ECJV Eaton Cummins project. Thanks for you patience! I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, SAFELY.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

It's nice to see that the drive realize he was into a bad situation and stopped. Sure it cost money to bring you out. But it cost less than if he had continued.

@demonknight7965 Год назад

Good to see the driver also had the sense of mind to sit in the truck n wait till someone told him what to do instead of trying to tell Ron how to do his Job

I definitely agree about the not telling Ron what to do but we had a recovery truck in the UK yesterday that went to a lorry broken down and the driver suggested the best way to do it to the recovery driver but the recovery driver told him where to go and I'll do it my way and the whilst towing him the recovery vehicle had to brake and because he had nt done it properly the broken vehicle slammed into the back of the recovery truck causing alotbof damage all because the recovery driver thought he knew best but obviously didn't,but agree Ron knows exactly what he's doing 👍

GPS used to send people to my dead end road. The house they were trying to get to is on another road that comes in from another direction. But the house itself is just a few feet through the woods from my road. GPS don't know how hard it is to carry two pizza boxes through a briar thicket in the dark!

@barbsteward5166 Год назад

We were in our motorhome in Kentucky, the GPS tried to send us on a dirt farm road that led to a cornfield.

@gsdalpha1358 Год назад

GPS tells semi-trucks to turn onto my narrow road with a dead end on one end and a one-lane tight curve on the other. The driver invariably turns toward that tight curve: used to be a bridge there to a main road, but it's been gone at least 16 years (as long as we've lived here). Police usually have to get involved to shut down traffic so the driver can back almost half a mile into the dead end then jockey the truck into turning on a wider road intersection near it. My road is literally so narrow a semi and car couldn't get past each other. How the driver makes the turn onto it has never ceased to amaze me! We're on the fringes of a sedate smallish town so it's entertainment of the week - lol.

It's been a long time ago when I was young I found myself in that same position I was so incredibly Embarrassed that I took a lot of time to learn how not to end up that way again, it can happen to anyone, I have spent a lot of time learning about how to stay out of problems before they happen, I can say I have been in this business now 43 years and I have learned a lot and still learning everyday.

The problem is that new drivers believe that they learned everything in a week and they don't have common sense, they just follow google maps instructions.

Nice job. It is amazing how drivers get into these predicaments, would have so easy it turn left, back straight across, pull out turning left. No blind side backing. Dam!! I love a rotator!!!

@loosemoose9799 Год назад

It is amazing to me that the drivers do not know how to make a square turn so the trailer wheels pivot instead following an arc which gets them into trouble. I learned that driving a farm tractor pulling wagons. Your solution is the one I saw too. Do they not teach that during training? Apparently not.

@ddjohnson9717 Год назад

@@loosemoose9799 you don;t get to make a square turn here. too narrow the the trailer is too long to pivot

As heavy as that equipment is-- like the large pulleys etc... makes me wonder how Oscar did it at Scottos. He was a mUCH older guy- (retirement age) and a little fellow- was fighter pilot in war- small size for the fast planes that were also small at that time. But he always did it- by himself usually!!!

10 mm socket, almost allways 10mm.

@phillee2814 Год назад

I now have so many spare 10mm sockets that I have trouble counting them, on account of all the replacements I've bought. 1/4 drive, 3/8 drive, 1/2 drive, deep, thin-wall, impact-rated, Hex, bi-hex, crowsfoot, and probably some I can't remember - all with several of each (maybe half a dozen standard medium wall hex & bi-hex)! If they made 3/4 and 1" sockets that small I'd probably have them too but to be frank, even a 1/2 driver is overkill for a 10mm - it will round, strip or shear even with a ratchet, never mind a T bar or (shudder) a breaker bar in that size, and anyway, I have adapters to change either to smaller or larger drives.

Years ago, I was helping a neighbor bring home a new to him refrigerator. We had the street address, but cume up in a road closed sign as well. Once we got around bto the other side of the highway, we could find again that street name and were able to find the seller. I no longer use Google maps. This has been a good improvement for me.

of COURSE Ethan will be an EXCELLENT operator--- he learned from the BEST-- you really ARE an excellent TEACHER.. You have the patience- the LOGIC and the talent to TEACH what you know. Many people KNOW the way to do things- but can't communicate it to others and teaching is a TALENT..

@ronaldblue8713 Год назад

Ron you did it the right way. Pulling it out runs the risk of damaging things unnecessarily. As you said it wouldn't have helped get it turned around either. Although when you look at his choices why he didn't choose the big wide opening on the other side makes you scratch your head. Oh well keep doing what you do and be safe.

@jazzerbyte Год назад

The key is noticing the "road closed" sign and avoiding it - hopefully the sign was placed so a trucker could spot it in time. The bridge was a temporary closure for repair from July 11-15.

@murphsmodels8853 Год назад

One of the first things I learned as a truck driver was not to use Google Maps for directions. Something about ending up driving a 72 foot long semi through downtown San Francisco. Fortunately I didn't get stuck, but next day I bought a dedicated truckers GPS.

Great recovery for Ron & the crew. The little turn around area made getting everything in position easier & provided a back up are for the truck once it was rotated out of the ditch. People say don't go past road close signs, but I drive a truck too & have to go into a road construction project every night to service a customer. We do it when the road work folks are done for the day, it just seems easier that way as nobody gets in anybody's way.

Ron, you could be a professional instructor. You give clear direction. When there is a mistake you help them correct it and learn from it without being overbearing. You also listen to their ideas with an open mind and use them if they work better than your own.

@moethedeaf2746 Год назад

He must be a new driver as this can only happen to a new driver. At an intersection like that, I always make a left turn at the intersection and make a straight backup followed by a wide turn to turn around. I even do that to avoid a 90-degree backup sometimes when I can find shippers or receivers to help stop the traffic. Panic made this happen, I guess.

It looks like he is taking a serious interest in learning and he has an awesome teacher too.
