    Bonehead Truckers Pt 1 (if the link does not work)

    Instead of helping others out on the road they make these ridiculous videos. I am sure this bright individual had numerous situations such as this one and now feels necessary to rag on others. Far too many people like this on youtube.

    I watched the whole video, and the dumb driver, and your narrating was great entertainment, thanks.

    I wouldnt have helped that moron either. Look at the situation he set himself up in. Why did he pull at that angle? Why did he not back in?

    If somebody is having trouble with backing, thats one thing....But you cant teach common sense!!!

    This is one of those situations where some one gets a license and has zero seat time with a trainer. Just hop in the seat and go. So they drive like a 4 wheeler with no sense of what they are doing.

    So it is okay to watch another individuals truck get struck and watch and laugh? If that individuals truck has to be taken out of service for repairs that is still funny to you? That guy taking that video had no problem as that driver nearly took off those truck mirrors. There is a lot wrong with this situation.

    Yeah then when the driver starts backing he says I will not be laughing if he backs into me. It's funny until he gets his truck out of service.

    So people putting videos on youtube is what is wrong with trucking. Not low pay. Not companies that rip drivers off treat them like dogs and/or provide them with poorly maintained equipment. Not bonehead regulations that do nothing to improve safety and make it difficult for drivers to make a living. Not schools using instructors who aren't required to have even the slightest idea how to actually teach anything. Nope, none of that is what is wrong with trucking, instead its people putting videos on youtube. Ok got it thanks.

    Thats the industry..maybe I should have picked a more suitable title. Not whats wrong with the trucking industry but rather whats wrong with individuals on the road.
