    What's so bad is drivers like this only make it worse.He tore that truck up.Had this guy got out and observed the situation,he could have backed up and call 911 to block the road.There is far too many lazy drivers in this industry.

    That's alright,this is one video you never get tired of watching.Its scarey to think there are many more drivers just like this one probably having a bad day as I type this.

    Totally made up. One would wonder why someone that obviously thinks that truck drivers are stupid , and dangerous, would bother to be posting in a trucking forum.

    That gut wrenching awkward moment where you realize you will be fired soon for letting your pride get the best of you....

    The guy in the video only had one choice....to back it up. I live in TN and was picking up milk at some farms and made a wrong turn and came to a bridge with a 5 ton load limit. Very few bridges on rural roads, most are culverts with no load limit. I backed up until I found a farm driveway I could back into and get turned around.
    This is a prime example of a steering wheel holder not knowing how to hold the steering wheel.

    I saw this video on this site about 2 or 3 years ago....it is a classic and it is painful to watch. Good for newbies to see it. I also like the video of the semi going off the road in the Rocky Mountains while exceeding the speed limit....no one, including the trainer, survived the crash.
