Reverse is a mystery to some...
 

Why he/she was reversing in the first place is a frigging mystery to me. There was enough room to get a frigging battle tank on a low loader through there! :lol:

That's what i thought at first ,But assumed there was less room there than it looked in the video or something not seen in the video was in the way ...But now I know how some of the Werner trucks I've seen minus a drive shaft got that way . :wink: Actually this doesn't surprise me ,because many of the drivers I've seen at the...W...are on the slow side of the learning curve for backing/tight maneuvering , and because training is usually just holding the wheel in a straight line on the highway these new drivers run into some screwed up situations when they get their own trucks that could be avoided if training was truly training and not just a cheap way for Werner to get a team truck ,and government funding .

Nothing to see.....

look at the beginning, there is a guard rail on the right side

There is a guard rail , but obviously plenty of room at the nose to jack the truck to about a 30 degree angle and not hit the tail of thr tractor into anything , But still it's clearly obvious that truck could have been backed out easily just the way it went in ...But not by the driver operating the truck :wink:

There is a guard rail , but obviously plenty of room up there for him to back up and over jack the truck into a 30 degeree on his second attempt at backing , But still it's clearly obvious that truck could have been backed out easily just the way it went in ...But not by the driver operating the truck :wink:

The road tilts to the left, the curve is sharp, no room on the right for the Werner truck to pass wide.
Although, the clutch-hop is a mystery to me. The W driver probably could set himself up better. He probably backed up to pull forward straight towards the guard rail and then cut it hard left.

Who knows, but I but the loader driver probably had enough low gear to move that bugger back a foot.

Watching that again just reinforces my belief that whoever was behind the wheel should not be on the road-not on their own at least. Their inexperience is no crime. But I do find it criminal that someone would send him/her out on the road.
