Not A Good Day For This Driver 

Every time I get in my car, I'm STILL pulling a phantom trailer.

Whoever the guy driving this big semi truck was blessed that it wasn't worst than it could have been

Let me say nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, his mistakes was obviously he didn’t take the turn wide enough. We all learn from our mistakes(hopefully). Before you judge him, remember you made mistakes too and you didn’t get judged for them. How can one judge when he makes mistakes himself. Stay humble everyone

I'm glad that they didn't have digital cameras when I was a rookie.

Gotta admit, Prime has always had nice equipment

the way he took the turn its like he forgot he had a trailer

nobody is perfect he did a mistake and that it everybody do if you believe your perfect your wrong.

Everyone becomes a super trucker once someone makes a mistake

He had a bad day. He has to pay for his mistakes not us. Unless you have been In one of these then give the guy a break. I have been since 1991 and its no fun. No I haven't done anything like this but I have had my Fuck ups. Have a nice day!

been driving a truck since 1974, we all have a brain fart now and again, lets give the guy a break.

better than running over a bus stop and pedestrians......

Every!!!body!!! has bad days!! but this dude just flat fucked up!! real shocked it don't say SWIFT!!!On the side!!

The driver wasn't paying attention to his right side trailer wheels.....

Most people can't drive four wheels properly.

I always see truckers bashing other companies as if the one they work for doesn't have problems. I watch a lot of these videos and see A LOT of companies have the same problems. One is no better than the other.

Well that's A $1.200 Tow Bill.

6 years ago ran over the only surviving telephone booth in Lima Ohio

Sucks for the Prime driver but damn that's a nice Ford LTL wrecker

Two words....wide - turn

Hey I've been there before, to pick up a load that is. And just to think after driving trucks for 27 years the dmv wanted me to furnish a truck and take a road test to renew my cdl.... Wow, why would they think I have a $150,000 rig laying around?

this is why trucks have big mirrors, on both sides !!!!

If he was a lease op, he got a whopper of a bill from prime for that misadventure.

Why is he turning like he's in a car hard plenty of room to swing wide when entering Use Your Mirrors .

"Swing WIDE, Sweet chariot."

Driver thought he was bobtailing, forgot he had a trailer behind him.

The tow truck operator was calm cool and collected. Assessed the situation, solved the problem........On ya way son. Nice work.

probably got hired the next day by SWIFT and made employee of the month before coffee break

look at how that curb has been run over tons of times

No excuse....how do a driver forget he has a trailer attached but been driving all day with it that's telling me he's not checking his mirrors

Trucks and trailers keep getting longer and bigger and the lots keep getting smaller and smaller.

Y'all better understand the word mystery.mistake will always be there no matter how careful you are or experience.

That wrecker driver was pretty good though.. Pulling trailers out of ditches? No sweat.

Three weeks of training and heres the keys

A swift driver came over to prime lol

Not taking a turn wide enough is indeed a bad day.

One hell of a severe mistake, but all went well at the end.

Driver's gotta pay for this. Not company.

Nice old LTL 9000, i started OTR on one just like this one.Great old truck...

another professional truck driver

That's going to be a hefty lumper fee to restack that load

Brand new trailer, and considering the situation he was in, the damage was actually minimal. Not saying it was great driving, but he got off lucky with that.

Call your terminal and say oops

Two weeks training and give them 18 wheelers 🙌

He was PRIME FOR THE DITCH 🤣

Not good day for this driver that's an understatement,damnnnnnn.

cool looking tow truck

God, I knew where this was in the first five seconds of the video and before reading the description. I've been driving too long...

Guess I subscribe to a different opinionIm retired after 35 years on the road.I have done my share of boneheaded things.If a guy is out trying to suppourt his family.Running ungodly hours and Miles I'm gonna give him the benefit of doubt.Thank god none of you guys out there criticizing have ever made a mistake. This guy isnt the first and won't be the last to make a mistake

I hate when people sit there n walk around the truck to record the truck number n shit. Do you think prime wasn't gonna find out?

Even a person that never drove a truck could make this turn.

Well, it's not all bad. At least he cleared the pole!

Recording the tow truck pulling his trailer out of the hole that's one thing. That was interesting but walking around the truck and trailer like you're snitching on him that's another that was just going too far

Kelly Davis It is not the driver's truck. It is a company truck. The driver does not have authorization. Also, Some businesses have signs posted in regards to recording devices and where they are prohibited -- No Cells Phones allowed on the dock, for instance. Privacy is a touchy subject and many people do not understand that our brains are recording devices. I can remember DOT numbers and such. So, when someone is run over at the fuel island and the driver flees, there had better a statute or something that defines the lines of privacy. Otherwise, video, audio, and still photos would be inadmissible in court. There are monetization and copywrite laws that may require someone's permission. However, a public video of space that can be viewed from a public area has no grounds for a lawsuit.

And everyone thought swift was the only trucking company doing demolition work

Wondering why I am seeing this 4 years later.

Seeing this reminds me of taking my time driving my rig carefully thru tight spaces. there are some shippers and consignees that are not designed to handle truck traffic. But hey, we are professional drivers. just taking your time backing into tight spots and no problem.

Looks like americold on Xavier in the Fulton county industrial complex Atlanta,GA.

driver was not paying attention on that turn !

I bet most of the people mocking that driver has torn up a lot of shit also lol But their fuck ups aren't on tape. Drivers at all companies have mad bad decisions like this guy. Even the most experienced ones too. He was lucky that trailer didn't roll over and take the truck with him. That curb has been damaged by many trucks over the years.

It is important to get good training. The one thing that any trainer should emphasize is that when backing or turning corners, you do it slowly and WATCH THE MIRRORS. If you aren't sure, get out and check. You arent saving time by ignoring these rules and winding up like this poor driver.

Man that old school ford 9000 hood wrecker is to kewl for skewl 😁😁😁

Prime cut and cheese and a cold beer solves this guys mistake. Back in the saddle otra vez.

Hey Prime... Swing Wide Its a Fifty-Three! Lol

Here's a tip. Go to any shipper and see where the turns are. Youll know not where to go. A lot of shippers and receivers leave that stuff just like it is because they want you to know to avoid it. Its a warning..

He was not paying attention to where his trailer was going

that could have been a rollover, just hope the trailer isnt messed up from all that twisting.

Damn that's a pretty 9000 Ford there.

Ford ltl 9000 tow truck that's a sharp truck

Only surprise, not a swift truck.

They also put up a big sign saying warning PRIME, SWIFT,SCHNEIDER drivers swing wide

I've been to the other facility on that road. Not too bad to get to.

Thousands of dollars damage to equipment and property. Another lesson in the importance of watching your mirrors. Drivers ALWAYS pay special attention when entering and exiting Truck Stops, Companies, Rest Areas and never let your guard down. That's when incidents and accidents happen.

PRIME= Please Remember I'm Missouri Educated. What would anyone like to bet the landscaping and curb repair bill cost more then the wrecker bill?

Where was this taken? This place reminds of a shipper I been too somewhere in Pa where there was a ditch from the main docking area and enough to maneuver where there was no margin of error.

What the hell was this driver thinking??? With that space? Wow...

Right side mirrors must be optional equipment on Prime trucks.

How much further was he going to go before he decided he was in trouble. WTF but you get what you pay for.

Plenty of room to swing a trailer around not paying attention apparently.

this couldve ended up being way worse. hes actually lucky

Driver should have been arrested and the truck towed. Prime should have been fined for obviously hiring someone unqualified to operate this type of vehicle. Why are truck drivers' wages so low? You're looking at it here.

It happens to everyone every now and again

Same time happen it wasn't good day it was hoping to avre ones still you are good man

The exact thing happened to me on my DG Account in those dark Mississippi roads

No doubt, driver just a bit excited to make first solo delivery.

He forgot to swing wide while turning right. He's lucky he did flip the trailer over.

By the looks of that curb... This ain't the first time that has happened....

Tow guy had to feed his family too

Can happen to anyone..even if you have 20 years experience..a few seconds of inattention...and a nagging dispatcher ..is all what it takes

that's when u know he's a rookie

I feel sorry for this guy , the humiliation especially the drivers who are docked watching this and chatting on the CB as I have witnessed past incidents before my eyes. I was hit while parked and the driver had his head down the whole time. I gave that rookie some dignity and said to him “ learn from this” and hopefully no more incidents. Sometimes they go years without a scratch and then there are those who are just a magnet for constant disaster. I’ve been to this place and seen many near misses and this is not the first time I’ve seen a truck do this. As for the bill? It’s gonna cost this driver and he will be the butt of all the jokes because at this drivers terminal, EVERYONE will know about it and rag on them for weeks. Stay safe everyone!

ive delivered to this place before. its a tight place but not enough to do this in the daylight. i cant talk to loud though because i knocked over one of their fire lane signs with my mirror......shhhhhh

If that tow truck driver would have been facing the other way he could of down this in one move, and avoided all that extra work !

Had to be inexperience, but come on the road was wide enough lol.

not really sure where he got his CDL at but I think they forgot to teach him about wide turns....

the name on the door explains it all

Nothing but INEXPERIENCE

Probably watched safety film before leaving the terminal

Ohhhh, q mala suerte, es algo q puede pasar a cualquiera, pero aveses pienso q conductor se le olvida q va con un remolque q mide 53 pies d la largo que de abrir para q las llantas del furgón pase. Si pasa como si fuera un automovil en una curva, pues eso es lo q pasa, siempre se usa el espacio al máximo siempree

AND HE WAS AT THE TOP OF HIS CLASS AT PRIMES TRUCK DRIVERS SCHOOL.

Why as a UK driver I didn't think America have bays like us. Lol
