3 Backup Videos That Make Our Heads Turn
It’s no secret that maneuvering a semi-truck is tricky, to say the least.
One doesn’t have to go far to find a deluge of blooper footage starring truck drivers who have made a few major miscalculations and ended up in a bad place.
Luckily, these drivers below weren’t physically hurt, but their egos may have taken a bruise or two.

If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the video of a probable rookie who might have just needed a hand here--or maybe the help of some really good technology!
Avoiding these mishaps doesn’t take much on a drivers (or their fleets’) parts. While experience and knowledge count for a lot, investing in back up sensors should help avoid obstacles and accidents. Good sensors make loading and unloading more efficient, driving and parking safer, and can even cut down on liabilty costs.
For an even safer experience, fleets invest in sensors that are waterproof, sensors that are intelligent (which detect and ignore stationary, permanent objects), and even premium microwave sensors with long ranges! Pairing any of these with a good backup camera pretty much seals the deal!
It’ll eventually come down to what feels right to you!
