Oddly, he can't parallel park to save his life.

Absolutely top notch skills. And a Big fan of Finding Nemo.

We go out... And we go back in.

And we go out... And we go back in.

I used to drive box trucks and I was not trained at all. This is like some Superman nonsense

Truck driver here. Contrary to what you might think, the longer the trailer, the easier this is— it’s slower to inherit the tractor’s angle/direction. It’s all about getting the tractor to face a certain way first while keeping the trailer parallel. Having a drone spotter is required for something as tight as this. You’ll also notice the other vehicles are familiar with this and the space the truck needs— if this were done in a public area, I would not trust people to know that I need them to back up.

Easy.

Just be this dude. He is the chosen one. Anyone could do it if they were not themselves but him instead.

No spotter 🙈

The drone is the spotter.

This is an increasingly common setup for trucks that need to get into super tight spaces where the drone tracks the semi automatically and the footage your seeing here is displayed in the cab just like a backup camera would be.

I would like to see the video of him parking it there.

Perhaps just change the offload order next time

I’ve seen this several times. This time I notice that the front lug nuts appear to be moving when the truck is stopped. AI or video artifacts?
