    Not sure exactly where he thought he was going or why he tried turning into this spot in the first place.

    Wow, I wonder if the parking meter was still there before this meathead came along?

    Edit: I just rewatched it and I see where he clearly took that out too. Man, that trailer is toast. This guy just firebombed his career.....if he had one.

    I just rewatched and noticed that once he ran over the meter and put the trailer parallel to the curb, he could have dropped the trailer, maneuvered the tractor out onto the street and rehooked.

    DOT number looks like 1415241... I was able to pause the video and expand outward on my laptop. If that is the number it is some dude out of Nuevo Laredo which would explain a lot.

    Couldn't get a look see in side the cab to see if he was sporting the Ape Hanger shifter..
    Iam pretty sure he was because of his outstanding ability to maneuver like snot on a door knob

    It'll probably be posted by this driver while he is blocking a fueling lane.

    I've seen some spooky places similar to the video, And NOT Just The Northeast.
    Thanks To Long FLD For The Post & Bigglier Picture.

    I Would Have Parked On The Street, Straddling The Sidewalk, With Four Ways, Then WALKED To Doors To Inquire.

    Doubtful the driver would have accepted any "assistance".
     
    Coffey and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    That’s the same guy on the CB and the truck stop diners calling other people steering wheel holders.
