    Maybe a set up of some sort. Like someone making a movie, or commercial? Or even a public service announcement. Like they used to show you an egg , "This is your brain. " Then they put the egg in a hot skillet "This is your brain on drugs" That truck would be the latter.

    In their defense, I delivered lamp posts into a Pittsburgh neighborhood. This was before GPS and cell phones. I managed to get to the site, but, I struggled to find a way back out, because I couldn’t make any of the turns on the narrow, cross streets. I ended up driving until I found an empty corner lot and drove across that. Luckily, that street led me out to a 4-lane main street. Unless you’ve been down into these places, you have no idea.

    Driver got hung up on Sunday Street. What are the odds he delivered into Cleancare and was told SPECIFICALLY to come in via Sunday Street so he'd be on the sight side for the docks. Driver then tried to go back out the way he came in.

    Skill failure? Oh, you betcha. It's tight, but possible. Tandems all the way up, set up all the way to the left and squeeze through.

    WTF? Not so much. Potentially, maybe.

    The other likelihood is he missed his turn into USPS and was trying to take a lap around the block. If that's the case, then it's a WTF.

    I agree if he had set up far enough to the left, he could have made it. Google Maps

    Well it’s pretty much a WTF moment when they have to call in a rotator to help the truck when it’s hung up on a telephone pole! Mind you, tandems are forward to the limit.

    But he at least he was on a road that is at bare minimum "legal adjacent". Unlike this fellow

    Semi plows into Lake Park, hitting iconic bridge
