What the hell was he thinking?

I feel sorry for this guy and the truck he is driving,some may say that he is inexperienced but what he has done to that truck and the trailer is............I don't know how the trucking companies in USA treat their employees,but at the end of the day,that truck in some way is providing food for you and your family and the least you could do is show some respect.

Good lord that was painful to watch. And if I'm reading his body language right, he's not doing this because he's angry and frustrated. Which makes this even more puzzling.

He made a big mistake trying to make a u-turn with the trailer. He should have straight line backed a bit then make the turn.

THat is the dumbest person I have ever seen. I would not even say he is a driver, but a real dumbass.

[JESAN]

"for no reason at all" ?
I see one : bridge clearance is too low or at least the driver thinks it is...
Please note how he carefully and gently spares the yellow sign behind his trailer while destroying his rig bit by bit

[Axel Slingerland]

Yep. That was a possibly career ending move with that company. But I have seen worse. Much worse...

[Smarty]

I think he would have done less damage if he'd just hit the bridge... o_O

I think that is in my local area...
Arkansas drivers at their (not) finest!

What the hell was he thinking?

I'm not sure he was...

[Axel Slingerland]

That thought occurred to me as well... If you can't back a truck up without wrecking the trailer (or the truck) you shouldn't be driving one.
