Real Trucker Reacts to Big Rig Fails 

I actually really love the minis on the table to let them show what's going on with the rig.

just wanted to quickly address all of the people who were super excited to try and make me seem dumb: I was clearly not talking about the lowboy having landing gear. we were discussing how other trailers could get caught on tracks, that’s why we used a completely different animation to show you that visually in case you didn’t catch it ❤️ anyways, much love to everyone who had something kind to say! I read all your comments, you guys are the best 🥰✨

I'm a trucker. Thanks for showing what we have to deal with on a daily basis!!! And yes, give us the honk signal, we love to do it just as much as you love to hear it 😊

5:20 As someone who works at a tire shop, what could have happened there is the pair could have heard the "zipper" sound that happens when the steel bands begin to snap. It's a good sound to tell you to get the hell away before you die. Only heard it once before a tire exploded but sounded like a giant left their fly open if you get what I mean.

so now we need the donut guys trying to park a semi. even if its a simulator.

The truck stuck on the track actually did something smart for the situation. I'd you noticed he pulled the king pin to keep the train from dragging the truck. Probably still caused some damage, but way less expensive than a new rig.

4:18 You didn’t tie your load down 🤯 Is the best reaction in this video 😂😂

There was an incident near where I live similar to the cement truck clip. A car cut off the the truck and brake checked it. The truck wasn't a cement truck though, it was part of a septic pumping business. The sudden braking caused a seal to pop on his tank covering the car that cut him off.

When I finally got the alley turn down, I managed to fit a trailer in the very last spot available in a lot. It was so tight that once I got it in I couldn't fit my arm down either side. I was so proud of myself.

As a former mechanic for an International-Navistar dealership, I can say, with 100% certainty, that the most common issue with medium & heavy duty trucks, is the loose nut behind the wheel!

My dad was the best truck driver I had ever seen. He drove for moving companies for years and finally started his own company. He’s driven in all 48 of the continental United States. I’ve seen him put a 40’ trailer where no one else would try. Taught me a lot about handling a tractor and trailer.

Out here in the desert pits of california there was a legend of a man who dedicated his life to quickly helping truckers in common areas that got stuck on train tracks. He helped/saved many truckers lives

Shoutout Zach for always getting paired with the dimes 😅

“Does it require a CDL?” best joke of the whole episode 🤣🤣🤣

To all the people who presented in this video, and gave their reactions. Thank you! You guys and gals keep us all fed, you transport our entertainment, our furniture, our medical supplies. I just can’t say thank you enough. And to Real Mechanic Stuff, keep the awesome vids coming. I freaking love it!

I love how they pointed out the defensive driver at 6:57. teamwork driving ftw literally this morning, I reversed while waiting at a stop light because a big guy was making a wide turn. got the wave 👋

Hey guys! I'm a trucker out on the Atlantic cost in Nova Scotia, Canada! Love all the stuff you guys do. Your podcast makes many long day on the road easier. Keep up the badass work!

Love watching these trucking videos !! As a trucker myself I love how I can relate to alot of what they are saying !! Keep these vids coming!!!

I'm a trucker (still a rookie of a year), but thank you so much for showing all the craziness that is dealt with on a daily basis by drivers across the country. Being one who runs dry box and reefers I have seen some that are just like the piggly wiggly video. P.S......... IT'S ALWAYS A PRIUS!!! Love the content, and can't wait to see more from these awesome drivers reacting.

For anyone wondering how the man knew to run away from the tire before it blew up, he heard the zipper. You can hear the cords inside the tire ripping apart and it sounds like a zipper.

I’m a trucker and minus the train situation I’ve been in all of these situations. While I agree it’s a sense of accomplishment to park in a difficult spot, my most rewarding feeling is saving a sticky situation, like the red truck in the ice. No one wants to be in those but if you can pull off a sweet maneuver you feel the grace of gif flowing through you

The guy at 8:00 was actually having a stroke, so thats why he was backing so insanely

I'm a trucker from Utah and I've had two of my coworkers bring this video up to me now, always down for trucking content that doesn't feel stereotypical and forced, thanks guys. Please get the boys on a range and try to back up a truck, now THAT would be incredible

I love Adam's huge rea tions so much. Thats exactly what i look like sitting at home watching these clips, just watching him be blown away has me laughing twice as hard. Please bring these four back!

My dad was a trucker for a while. He told me something that he was told: if your trailer starts going one way or the other, speeeed up lol

My hats off to all truckers. This country would not move without you.

1:58 one of the most underrated statement ever said. You have to wonder, what is going on in some of those drivers heads.

Love the whole “real mechanic stuff” series!!’ Kept it going y’all!!!

love this whole spinoff channel guys good job everybody

As a trucker myself, the amount of times someone will cut me off to get an exit is absurd. Probably happened 3 times today alone. Not that close of course but still enough that I need to slow down

7:18 just perfect timing with the hand movement 😅

It took me 2 years until I was good enough to reverse anywhere anytime, it ain't easy! One day in the early days I reversed in between two trailers onto a bay and it was perfect, no shunts required, bang straight on. I was SO proud! Then they guy out the warehouse come told me I forgot to open the rear doors 😆😆

LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! DONUT FOREVER!!!!

0:55 PUT IT IN REVERSE TERRY - this made me lol hard af

I work with these truck tires on a daily basis and if you're looking close at the clip where that tire exploded. You can see a small bubble form in the side wall. As was said in the video these tires sometimes hold pressures up to 130PSI. These blow outs more frequently happen with tires that have been recapped (replacing the worn tread) that might have had side wall damage unseen before capping.

Canadian trucker here! I hope you guys keep making these trucking videos i absolutely love it!

I'm a trucker that hauls heavy equipment for caterpillar. Love the donut crew!!

For the first video, I believe those yellow painted pillars are called lally columns. I was on a job once where I had to install a bunch of them at entrances of a parking lot. I had to dig six foot holes to place these things that still stuck out four feet high. We then poured in cement to secure them in place. May a tank could defeat these things. but I wouldn't recommend anything else trying.

I swear 0:15 has such YOUR GOOD YOUR GOOD YOUR GOOD YOUR GOOD YOUR GOOD energy 😂

I was once on I-5 North on the bridge from Portland, OR into Vancouver, WA. There was an accident on the bridge & I was right behind it. I had to stop to be let into the other lane, and a trucker driving his semi stopped and subsequently stopped traffic to let me in. Nice guy.

10:30 that is called a tractor trike its legally considered to be a trike or motorcycle and from what I know it's mostly custom fabricated but I might be wrong on that

My favorite part is watching the kids give the arm pump for the horn. And please everyone out there, we want to get home too.

I loved the Mixer Truck clip! I am a Mixer driver and with the front discharge truck like that one it is a real concern not to hit your brakes too hard!

I'm not only a driver but a driver trainer. I perform CDL ( AZ in Ontario Canada) tests for my companies Driver Certification Program. Turns, shifting and backing are the three hardest things to teach.

Would be great to see these guys react to a few Aussie Road trains and what they have to haul and the differences in the rig setups.

Both my grandpa and my uncle were truck drivers, and one of my greatest memories was going with my uncle before he quit doing long-haul deliveries. I always give them the right of way and am as cortious as possible with all truck drivers. Stay safe out there guys and gals.

4:40 That's funny what Danae says. In Germany and pretty much all other European countries, the driver is responsible for securing the load. But that the pallets would fall would have noticed even me as a non truck driver. (Ok I load trucks professionally). 😄

Dude there’s a cement pole at the Walmart in our town which has been hit like that first truck over 100 times. It legit has spawned countless news stories, Facebook fan pages, and birthday parties at the ‘infamous Walmart pole’

Trucker with estes express lines for 8 years pulling triples. Love your videos!

Big fan of the Tower Trike shout-out at the end lol. Those are the greatest vehicles you can buy

I absolutely swooned when Danae said 'backing is my favourite part of the job'

My pops been a trucker since 05. Taught me to always respect them on the road for our safety and theirs. Thank you to all the truckers out there ❤

2:50 him disconnecting that probably saved nearly 100k in damage, truck looks damaged but fixable, that cat might be good, trailer is probably toast though, hitch is probably damaged even though he disconnected it

The truckers' reaction to the cement truck scene was such wholesome spite.

I grew up around the trucking industry. I've drove dump trucks for farming but never big rigs and I always try to respect them but Momo is right common sense is gone with alot of truckers today. But if you are in a 4 wheeler think and give them the space and respect they deserve. Thank you to every trucker that keeps this country stocked and supplied.

Watching these videos makes me respect my dad 100x more. That fact that he has truckednfor almost 10-20 years is amazing he is a legend

4:30 I've seen it often, guys who follow their instincts to catch it. You've got to have the wherewithal to override that and pull away. I watched a guy totally mangle his finger attempting to catch a 500 pound steel wall panel. I went to go catch it too, but I thought better at the last second, while he didn't lmao

Love this channel, every video has been as hilarious as they are informative 🤙

Thanks for bringing this one back. Much love for you guys.

I was a driver a little over a year. It was not the life for me but I did enjoy it while it lasted. Nothing but respect for people who spend their life on the road.

2:25 by chance you get stuck on train tracks there's a blue sign on each crossing with a number to call to report situation

Really glad y’all made this channel, 🎉🔥 always look forward to it

I have been driving semi-trucks for over 20 years and I love these videos. Thank you.

7:40 I was always told by my driving instructor, if you can’t see the silhouette of the front of the truck in your rear view mirror, you’re too close, when making a lane change and there is a semi in the other lane in front of you. Alway has stuck with me

I didn't know iJustine was also a trucker!

This channel is incredible. Well done, boys!

6:35 she’s basically saying it’s more dangerous with a heavy trailer on wet or icy roads. My experience is exactly the opposite, empty trailers slide every which way, while the weight of loaded trailers helps them stay put. However, that dude was going too fast for conditions to begin with. Not much you can do there but accelerate out of it. Which he did.

Omg the prius statement is so true. I got cut off by one driving through Denver in the winter and almost caused me to jackknife i started sliding but was able to control my rig. Damn prius never even knew how close he came to ending in a hospital. Probably the most scariest experience I had.

Awesome guys! Thanks for the hard work truckers.

I was parked in a Freightliner M2 water truck watching this when I loled and the people I was delivering water to looked at me like I was crazy 😂😂

Love that you guys started making these videos!

Thanks for bringing trucking into the mix guys! Been trucking on my own for a year now and grew up over the road with my father trucking, I haul 150,000 (gross combo) in milk every single day of the week and it is the best job I’ve ever had. It’s a dream, watching some of the otr dry vans park and scale is hilarious, some truckers just don’t know what they’re doing and give us all a bad name. But thanks again guys!

1:45 they're not “tight turns“ the roads aren’t designed for a *72 Foot Truck*

Trucker here, just starting my day. Your channel is one of many that get me through the day.

I’m a trucker and I love the Tracker stuff you guys put on these channels

4:49 as a CDL holder and commercial crane operator your load should not shift my good sir, load bars and straps do amazing things🤙

8:20 me playing American truck sim

Absolutely love this episode!

I've worked at a truck stop for years now and I gotta say that for every polite, intelligent and skilled trucker you meet, there are 5 complete idiots that have a very minimal understanding of how to drive a truck, some shouldn't even be driving a car. There was this one trucker who attempted to pull a combine tractor (harvester) through our diesel lanes but there was no way it was going to fit so it hit the pumps on both sides and ripped them out of the ground. So then they decide to panic and try to back up at which point they hit the support poles of our canopy causing it to collapse onto the harvester they were hauling, wedging it in it's place. It took two crain's and fourteen hours to get everything unstuck.

Was traveling not that long ago and saw a semi disentegrated down to the chassis from a collision with another truck. It was insane to see.

We need more James on these!

2:40 WOW! you know i've seen trains hit a lot of things, but this is the first time I've seen a train hit sup heavy machinery like that. And ya, the only thing that can stop a train, is another train....

Love this new channel!!

Danae doesnt realize lowboys dont have a landing gear 😂😂 @3.20

I love that the girl says that no one got hurt when the semi with the tractor got hit by a train because you know it's not like there's an operator inside of the train who's just thrown all over the place by that lol

1:20 footage is from Virtual Railfan’s PTZ camera in Ashland Virginia. They had another camera across the agree that showed the train and the truck after the mirror of the locomotive contacted the trailer.

I really love this content. Shout out to all the Truckers and Mechanics out there!

Danae's eyes are beautiful. 👀

At 3:25 that lady is so wrong it’s not because that drive had his landing gear down but there is a break over at that railroad crossing and lowboys should avoid those crossings

Flatbed trucker here. Driven almost all of the lower, 48, and over 50+ fobs and fire bases all over Afghanistan.

I was one lane over 20' back from a 53' semi on the freeway and some dipstick merged three lanes no signal right in front of him. He nailed the brakes and the rear set stepped half way into my lane. Real glad I don't drive alongside trucks. That trike isn't a hog and a half, it's a hog cubed! Talk about righteous! Great video!

Every day man, every day I see something new. 17 years and still see something new. 4 wheelers never cease to amaze me.

10:20 this is the most texan you can be 😂

This was fun to watch. I'm an OTR driver, 7.5 years experience with one company that treats me right. You see a lot of stuff out here on the road. One thing I couldn't really empathize with was the tire thing since that's outside of the scope of my job (Mechanics fix the tires, I drive the truck and deliver the things. Food and medicine mostly, reefer driver.)

love and respect to all the truckers. Thank you

2:18 I'm surprised nobody pointed out why he was fiddling with the trailer. I'm not a trucker myself but I heard from someone who is one that there's pins you can pull to release the trailer from the truck, so he may have saved his truck from further damage by doing that.

15 Years; 2.5 million miles+ behind me. I've run all 48 contagious states; 3 Canadian provinces and Alaska over the years pulling hotshots, dry vans, reefers, tankers, flatbeds, over dimensional, port, and hazmat. Still learning something new in this industry just about every week!

Episodes like this is why I am one super happy subscriber.

Truckin since 2001 thank y’all for this video and others like it recognizing the American truckers❤❤❤

That 5:08 YOOOO was gold. He clearly didn’t expect that to happen.
