No freaking way dude, that docking was hell. I would have just broken down and cried trying to back into there.

well done Dave what an awkward reverse you had to do, it shows how much of a great driver you have become, its always better to stay calm in such differcult reversing situation. its was nice of the van driver to help you to reverse on to the road. While watching you reverse of the road into the docking road i thought on the second attempt you were about to hit the grass kerb, but you prove us all wrong keep on trucking.

GREAT JOB DAVE! It is nice when you meet some really nice and understanding people that will take the time to help out truckers! That was awesome!

Dave leveled up this episode. Good job! Experience adds up.

Ive never seen someone just offer to hold traffic for a trucker unless they worked there. Thanks for the video Dave!

That van driver was probably a truck driver himself. He understands

Bro.. that back was HELLACIOUS.. jeez laweez 😮‍💨 GOOD JOB man, awesome job. Everybody give Dave a round of applause 👏 I hope you never have to go back lol.

Personally speaking, I don't need to subscribe to remember to check out your channel. It's has provided me with a lot of insight to what a majority of truckers have to deal with on the roads. Today I was on my way into work, and a trucker was coming off the highway, and had to merge. I could have speed up so, that I would not have to get stuck behind a them. Nope, I slowed right down and let that trucker merge. Simply because I seen there was a bunch of traffic behind me, and simply yield, because the off ramp the trucker was using ends pretty abrupt. Trucker flashed their lights as a thank you, and it made my day. Thank you Dave, I have learned so much from watching your channel over the years.

Kind-hearted, guy for helping you out.

Great backing skills. I've been driving 5 years and this would've been tough for me. Well done, sir!

I was sorta proud of you Dave. A while back you would have had a lot of beeping in the video 😂😂. Great job my friend. You stayed a hell of a lot calmer than I would have 😂😂. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Edit Had that been me I would have driven on the curb in that pretty grass 😂😂.

You need to tell Your company you want some hazard pay for the backing. 😂 very nice Dave.

Dave saying "kosher" hilarious!!

Nicely done Dave! 👍👏

Great job on the parking.

Yeah most of the places in the north east and midwest was not meant for a 53 ft trailer and a big sleeper. The guys in the yard across the fence must have been glad they didn't have to dilever there

Thank you for trucking, Dave. Safe travels.

That has to be the hardest Dave has had to work on backing in a while.

Wow the roads are terrible down east in MD. Up here in Garrett County, MD, our roads are as smooth as butter.

Great job!!! Also, huge kudos to the nice guy who helped you!!

Wow great job Dave !!

Thank you sir 🙏🏼 whoever you are in your sprinter holding up traffic to help a truck driver. Not often that happens these days so again, thank you, you are appreciated!

Very good job backing.

Good job Dave. That was 5 minutes of tension backing that into the dock.

U got this Dave I believe in u that was tight

i feel like if you werent holding up traffic you wouldve been able to do this a lot faster idk if thats just me thats like that where you if are good at something and when you try and do it with people watching you always mess up idk lol nice work dave!

Great job Dave backing up your truck nice.

That is a nightmare of a place, man! No planned parking at all and not a care in the world for trucks that has to deliver or pick up. They seriously have to plan this better and not leave it to chance if the poor driver will be able to get in there at all. Parking all over the place, without any plan or regard to the big trucks that will come by, just shows that the leaders are totally clueless about anything related to parking! You drive in to find that clusterfuck of cars and trucks, then have to back out into traffic, getting flipped around, then backing in again. It is like threading a large needle through a set of small holes. I would not recommend that place to anyone that has to actually go there. Good job, Dave.

In the words of Darth Vader - Impressive. Most impressive.

Businesses never think about semi trucks when building these businesses. Shopkas Mid America in NKCMO forced me to do a 45 minute blindside, man was I hot!!

Fun docks. My 2023 Kenworth T680 thats extended somewhat would never make it. Miss the Freightliner Cascadia and Volvo with sharp turn radius. Love mine. Tight areas👎.

Nice back Dave! I've had to do a few like that! They make you really appreciate the easy ones.

Damn, that place was not designed for backing up trailers that big. The least they could've done was to adjust the vans around. This was pretty exciting.

You forgot to add a picture of the place you were delivering lol dammit Dave

Good job Dave. Yea, a newbie would have struggled. Especially if they didn’t ask to move the truck.

Good job Dave that’s a tough back

Haha! Good work Dave and welcome back to the north east! All love from this day cab LTL driver. Nice work buddy.

Good job Dave. I live in the north east where parking and backing are your worst enemies. 25% of my deliveries were like that with a day cab. You do and you learn.

6:03 American Truck Simulator moment

Keep up the good trucking Dave

I feel like the north east looks the most beautiful though. Fall colours!

You’re my hero Dave. 😄

It's a dance Dave. Just dance with it.

Had a delivery like this once in Rhode Island, no room for an OTR truck to get in the dock. I dropped my trailer and paid an old driver in a day cab to get it in the dock. It was well worth the twelve pack of Mountain Dew and pack of Marlboro’s, so like ten bucks at the time to not crunch my flaring and stack.

Welcome to trucking Dave

Great! Another video from Dave! Um, no picture of the receiver site as mentioned at 0:34?

I was sent to Ray Emmerick's Warehouse in Addison, Illinois, on my second day by myself after 36 with a trainer and ran into something similar, but throw in cement islands with hydrants and trees in a lot that size. I ended trying to correct with tandems all the way back, big no no, and dragged my trailer over hood of semi next to me. I fully understand the dilemma a new driver would have had.

Nice work Dave i was a supermarket driver and your reverse brought back memories or nightmares of docks meant for Rigids trucks not Semi,s but its a great feeling isnt it when you nail it keep safe Mate Kym Adelaide

One of those situations where a drone hovering over the area giving live feedback of all sides at once would be great.

As a Marylander it’s nice to see you here lol

🐐 Dave you are Goated !

when you mention erie you should insert a clip of it so that people like me can have some context. That man was wonderful though. Great Job!

U good dave

Nicely done Dave.

Only the true Riding with Dave fans may like this and comment…

Very impressive Dave! Keep up the great work 👍

Fuck, I was tense just watching this. Awesome job, man!

Very intense for me to watch. Very good job!!!

People that don’t drive fail to realize how difficult backing can be. I’ve been driving a decade and still screw up easy backs sometimes. It takes thousands of hours of practice just to get decent. You’ll never master is. The NE sucks bc other drivers are hella rude.

Great job Dave!

29:00 i can just imaging your stress level dude, god damn

You have awesome trucking skills, Dave. Stay safe.

Another episode of Dave vs Maryland.

I hate the NE. Good job with that back, Dave! That brought back some nightmares…

As a driver who has been to NY,Maine,MA,NJ and the entire Midwest & east coast in 6mo.. DAVE I want you to know.. Columbia,SC Camping World during business hours has the smallest LOT known to man. So small in fact you have to choose between striking RV’s,Employee vehicles, Or striking the building. 😎🤙🏽 I even had other drivers confirm who have been on the account for 15+ yrs. It’s labeled the nightmare store. Drivers deliver once and never go back.. I ripped the gate out of the ground.. it was the only way to prevent destroying 8 employees & customers vehicles + not taking out the tree. Sometimes we just need to say no.. 🤷‍♂️

Another great vid

Hell yeah Dave! Nice job

I always had to pickup at terminal for home time and usually leave for White Bear Lake, MN. One time Columbus, Ohio, and another to St. Joseph, MO, but 9 out of 10 was WBL. I also live near a Jesup, but in Iowa. Now, if the first three digits of their phone is "827" like Jesup in Iowa, then that would be strange.

At least it gave you a reason to use your horn again!

Nice Job Dave. This made me sweat just by watching. I could never do this, I let others rush me too much 😅

Erie wasn’t so bad but you did good kid 👍👍👍👍

I love your videos Dave and you have inspired me to become a trucker when I graduate from high school. What is a good trucking company to start with?

I love your videos so much

wow that terminal is more designed for those smaller Izusu trucks

Thumbs up Dave good job 👍

Dave!!!! You’re a fucken Beast Bro 💪 😂 that was fucken amazing 👏 😂 thank you for all the great content bro 🙌🏻😂

If you had tried that blindside turnaround, you would have ended up like Austin Powers in the golf cart tunnel scene. I had a similar back in Florida--a dock made for box trucks and a bunch of vehicles in the way and nobody there with keys. The trick when doing these is knowing what to do with the steering wheel when you are PULLING FORWARD. CDL school teaches you how to steer when you are backing, but they don't talk about what to do when you are pulling forward. I've been doing this 2.5 years and I knew exactly what you needed to do--you had to open it up WHEN YOU WERE PULLING FORWARD. How many times Have I watched newbies in the truck stop back up and pull forward and while they are pulling forward doing the exact wrong thing with the steering wheel? All they do is rock back and forth over and over in exactly the same path changing nothing.

dave in my area 😮

These are the places I absolutely hate. I advise our company to add 200 dollar delivery insurance fee.

Damn Dave

Im not even the one driving and this shi got me anxious 😅

If the red truck didn’t move there’s no way you’d have enough room to get it in

That's 1 unfriendly customer. Instead of forcing drivers to back out on an active roadway, they should be making sure there aren't vehicle and equipment parked all over their yard, Maki g maneuvering a pain in the ass.

My first load I had to blind side it to turn around lol

Shwing👍

Your lucky you got help....

Honestly man.. I think people in this world for the most part are caring and nice .. just the Media and Social Media have us fighting one another because our little differences.. Religion, Gender, Race, Political Views, Ethnicity, Country.. but I believe most people who will see someone in need will lend a hand .. in my opinion

does anybody use walkie talkies with a spotter

Why can't they just move the company trucks to accommodate you?

Hi Dave

Hey dave did you happen to pass through zanesville ohio just a few minutes ago if so I passed ya

Alex could have made that back easy 😅😂

dave, i have a question. im trying to buy merch but my concern is shrinkage, should i order a size up or what?

I just recently moved to MD, Near jessup. Its a pain in the ass, no one knows how to drive here

The picture didn’t come up

Hopefully you got some Crab Cakes

You used to do Farming Simulator videos too, didn't you? I used to watch videos from a guy that sounded and talked EXACTLY like you.

They know the dock area is tight and expecting a semi..why have all those vans parked there

clean your windows dave

day 1 of asking to send dave to NYC
