I GOT STUCK UNDERGROUND WITH PETERBILT 389

This was my first lone assignment out of CDL school with PRIME. I was already a nervous wreck but the cave conditions made it a million times worse. I was supposed to bump a dock right in between 2 trucks that were waiting on the dock already. I didn’t waste anytime. I got out of my truck, held up a $20 bill and waited for the first brother trucker to hop in and back it for me. I never got his name but I’m eternally grateful to him. 😂🙏🏻

I have been in the underground caves in Kansas City Missouri a couple of times in my 52 yrs of driving. Covered 5.5 million miles in my life of driving and getting ready to do again in the next month or so. I am 75 years old and lord willing I plan on doing for another 5or 6 years. Yall be safe out there 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

He’s right most people would have cut the recording and came back backed to the dock, like they did it unassisted. I appreciate showing everyone the pitfalls. But also how people collectively put their minds together and come up with a solution. Nice work!!!!!

That facility was built back when cabovers were the norm trailers were shorter. Everything is not that way anymore!

I’m a new trucker, 20 years old. And this was some of the coolest shit I’ve ever watched! Thank you for this great video and this experience. I hope one day I’ll be trucking in caves💪🏽

I just came across your video, listening to you talking while your driving through the caves showing everyone how driving Semi Trucks isn't an easy job...the stress that we go through to supply food, drinks, materials, etc should be a wake up call for America to appreciate truck driver's

Now this is a REAL TRUCKING VIDEO. Cursing out shippers and what not. Something all us driving see, hear, and done ourselves. 😂🤣😂🤣

Dispatch: they come in here all the time with no problem. They have day cabs and 24' trailers. 😂

Us real truckers live for these type situations there are good people in trenches

Man, I like the fact that you're keeping it real . Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

I retired retired after 21 o/o I had a 05 379 and a 53 foot reefer. I have been been in all those caves. I am really surprised that guy is still there!! The first time I was exactly the same place you were you were, I had the same reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction reaction!! After 21 years that is one of the harder places to get in too. Your right. Real trucking!! Lol Ms T Ellis Keep up the excellent videos Safe travels!!!

I have nothing but respect for truckers, it’s already enough what yall go through with crazy drivers, but even worse when yall have to back in and reverse in places like that

I was in a situation like that in Cleveland trying to pick up a load of railroad track with a 45 foot flatbed. This company had recently bought the building and had moved the equipment of the previous company outside. There were narrow dirt tracks to maneuver to back into the building, but the equipment was on each side of the dirt tracks blocking every move. When I saw there would not be a chance of getting in thebuilding they brought the forklift to move the trailer into position for me to back in. In the process they damaged the air line on the trailer which they repaired. Never a dull moment in trucking. Been retired since 2016 and now I drive 600 miles a year, sometimes less. Enjoying the channel. Stay safe and prosperous. Nice Peterbilt. Speaking of bad roads in Ok. When I drove Route 287 through there I thought I would need dental implants because it about shook my teeth out.

I hauled a container load into that same underground storage. And the guy on the phone said so fast to slide the tandems on the trailer forward that I didn’t hear him correctly and I went in way to long in the turn. And the first thing I know I’m stuck well the hustler came and started acting all tuff and I just came up to his level and said I can just drop this pos right here or you can help me out so he did. Well I made it that day and when my dispatch found out I could make it he sent me back the next day. But this time I knew to slid my tandems forward and it was a piece of cake that day.

Good job, Driver. Thanks for the ride down US75 Central. I lived there from the time that 75 was a 4-lane asphalt until what it is today, from the time when LBJ Fwy 635 went through cow pastures from Garland on the east, to Farmers Branch on the west at I35. Man, so glad to be out of there, into the quiet woodlands of northwest Arkansas. There is a similar cavern at Carthage, Mo, and you drove nearly past it. Good thing you drove through Dallas at night.. good God, the mess it has become over the decades. Last time down, I saw a car jam 3/4 mile long, up in Plano on east side.. I wondered what the problem was, until I remembered that they were simply waiting for the light to change, on the service road crossing. Here, a traffic jam is 4 cars waiting at the bridge to get onto Highway 7.

Best part about this video is when you said I don't need you to tell me how to fucking back my truck up hahaha

Love your truck. Great video. I had W9L and i also had a 379 Pete, lloved them both. I know the fun in trying to get into some of those places. YEEHAW. Stay safe out there.✌️🇺🇲

My cousin use to work in those caves in Kansas City and she saw a couple of semi's get stuck like you did, but that was back in the '80s. I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing your work. I'm having fun. with your comments when you got stuck with your truck. God bless you and take care of you 🤗

It should be more appreciated and respected by people I always yield and work with you guys because I know how much weight is going down the road and you guys have to be in control of it from all the idiots that pull in front of you, thanks for showing the video.
