Getting stuck in tight streets

Some guys get a rollback truck to shuttle it if a big truck can't fit, right?

Same way bed buggers sometimes rent a Uhaul to take stuff a little at a time. Seems like a PITA.

 

Get out and walk and survey , a pita I know but it's better than being stuck

 

I think it's all about how you talk to the customers. I always tell them that I have other cars on the top deck so I have to watch out for trees so a little understanding is appreciated. If am picking up and the customer isn't willing to meet at an alternate location then I just cancel. Communication and Google maps plus walmart helps alot

 

Google maps is a big help but recently I've gotten to where if it even looks close to a tight squeeze or there is trees around I'll find a parking lot or side of the road and have them meet me. Not worth what could happen over one pov car.

Sometimes they don't have a friend that can follow them to me and in that case I drive them back to thier house.

I'm doing almost all full loads for dealers now thank god so I am dealing with this less and less

 

I got jammed up on Wednesday last week in Scranton, Pa. One of our other drivers told me how to get in which the last turn was into a dead end street where the dealer was. He said the dealer will back you across the intersection and then just turn right and leave the way you came. Well, small dump truck parked on the corner made it about 6 feet shy of making the right turn to get out so there I sat. After some discussion about backing up a couple blocks and getting out someone finally moved a car and was able to maneuver out of there. Like Dog-c said do some walking, which is something I do often just to avoid this type of situation.
