1. mistakes are easy to make.. but double checking and keep on checking to make sure everything is ok before proceeding forward.

2. It's always good to pay attention to your driving.. especially in very tight spots as this.. patience.. patience wins all of the time instead of rushing and not paying attention as to what is going on with the rear end of the trailer..

3. That was Epic bro Awsome job i do Recovery too but no Offense on my comment or to anyone everyone does work how they work .. while Swinging the ass on the trailer just for safety the power unit should be attached in case the legs are weak and dont twist and buckle ..again only if it loaded ..and i will say no offense to anyones work method

4. that trailer is scrap metal now..

5. He must've removed the Swift logos before the filming started.

6. Swing wide, it's a friggin trailer!

7. just another bonehead trucker.. if he is reading the comments find a different career

8. Some of this video really belongs on "Bonehead Truckers". Swing wide driver, it's a friggin' trailer. This video looked like a "letter box" movie. I guess it is the camera. YouTube is putting ads in the middle of your video.

9. I can tell in comments nobody drives an 18 wheeler cuz why the hell would someone put a yellow pole in that spot..

10. These new drivers are buthurt at slightest advice. I tried to to tell this guy who was backing up not to swing left and right so much once he align himself for backing because he will hit trucks and trailers to his left and right and that much movement is unnecessary. He was like mind your bussines. Fucking idiots.

11. That one inch impact needs rebuilt and oiled daily

12. You had an awful lot of faith in that landing gear on the trailer. I'm surprised it didn't fold. Good job!

13. That trailer is headed to the scrap yard or a very costly repair job!

14. I think it's time for trailers with steered axles.

15. man what did you do to hawk he scratched🤣😂

16. What kind of bandsaw blade are you all using??

17. Nice job guys love the video

18. Put the post there to stop people cutting corners endangering pedestrians and guess what happens DOH!

19. Seen many rescues of trucks hung up on these concrete poles .
    What would it take to simply make these guard poles just ONE FOOT taller ??

20. For future reference, the yellow concrete poles are known as bollards.

21. ❤❤❤👌👌👌💪💪💪

22. Pole 1, trailer 0. A great video as always Josh. Happy Holidays to you and your team !!

23. It's not even a SWIFT truck.

24. Merry Christmas to you and your family

25. Felices fiestas a todas en Pepe's! Heppy holidays to everyone at Pepe's!

26. Hey Josh !! Another Great ""HULK"" recovery with NO more Property damage !! Video was fine on this end !! Hope you had a ""MERRY CHRISTMAS "" with Friends // Family & Employees !!! 🙃😉🎄🌴🌲🎋👍👍👍👍👍

27. Truck 52 WHERE ARE YOU?????

28. Woo you know he's fired.

29. The old ADDAGE "Swing Wide It's A Flippin Trailer" came to mind Josh Then it really Goes Further Part Of Commercial Driving is to Watch the mirrors and Double Check your Routes to ensure you can make the turns and understanding Varying Off tracking when you Adjust the Sliding Tandems and the whole back Swing Of the Trailer! The minute he felt the Bump He should have Stopped instead he Kept Going!!! Common Sense isn't Common these days

30. Lift here I like it

31. Josh another great job and video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

32. Only because I don’t know, why did you lift from the very rear of the trailer when there are designated lift points on the sides near the rear axils?

33. catastrophic damage is an understatement Josh 😂😂. Those poles are no joke on a trailer and the damage they inflict.

34. Another great job. Keep up the good work and great video's.

35. My question is how fast was he going around that corner in order to rip the rear Dolly front axle out that stuff is like quarter inch half inch stuff unreal and then to bring it around under the trailer on a like a 4 ft post some guys need to go back to driving school Josh love your work keep it up hope your baby's doing good too thanks for the great videos.

36. The utility pole thanks the concrete post. The dispatcher moves one step closer to certified alcoholic. The driver is no hope.

37. I said oh no when he leaned that tire on Hulk

38. It looks to me as the driver had been trying his damnedest to pull that trailer around the corner, both forward and back lmfao best thing to do with the trailer now is to scrap it, it's waaaaay to compromised, and the driver needs to find a different kind of job, one where he doesn't touch another truck and trailer, he is a menace to society if he stays driving

39. Hi Josh, loved the wide format. Thanks, Happy New Year, and stay safe!

40. It seems like you always have overhead wires to contend with nice work Merry Christmas and happy new year BE SAFE

41. Merry Christmas 🎅 to pepe's family

42. Damn, how hard did he keep trying to make the corner after the initial impact? That thing was wrecked.

43. am i the only one that noticed the tyres were all different sizes lol nice recovery as always and thanks for sharing. does make you wonder how some of these operators manage to get their rigs into these predicaments though!

44. lack of training for the driver he tried to pull that trailer around the corner to cause all that damage

45. Good job there pepes towing. Happy Christmas to you all

46. 257 thumbs up

47. You have to wonder why bollard was installed at that corner? Bollard was probably installed to protect the electrical pole. This corner looks like a repeat incident site. Ruined the truckers whole day.
