    First thing I noticed was there looked like more room if he went in on the other side of the shack. Some guys can't think on the fly though - "What, go 'in' on the 'out' side? We can do that?"

    That wasn't security cam, the picture was shaky like someone was standing there holding the cam.

    Funny. That guy's boss is gonna put him back in the trenches holding a shovel.

    In all fairness, the guy is a machine operator, not a truck driver. It looks like an older FLD, so the guy probably just uses the truck to pull his machine around. I can't figure why he's pulling in that lot to begin with. Whenever I hauled machinery, I parked on the street ,off loaded the machine, and drove the machine in. Looks pretty tight, where was he going to turn that thing around?
    Wait, after I watched it again, the black pickup has his 4-ways on, so that must have been the boss, somebody got a chewin'. Look at the guy in the street.

    It looks some recorded a playback of the "tape". Notice the play controls at the center bottom of the screen.

    Maybe that shack was due to be removed and they asked him to save them money on demolition costs.

    He seemed to be going pretty quick for such a tight squeeze, IMO.
