My goodness I'm sure she was terrified I would have been also. But Luke you said Thank God she was alright. And we have to give credit to the Responders. They go to all lengths to help people in distress. Safety first

So glad she is safe. Safety training is so very important.

Very calming way to explain ❗️👏

Perfectly explained ❗️Thank so lot Sir from an Iranian Oldy-Goldy guy in Berlin,Germany ✊🫡👏🙏

I have rode in eighteen wheelers most of my life, and I have never seen anything like this, thank you Jesus🙏 .. Imo everyone( 4 wheelers included) are going too fast in these conditions, you can clearly see that it is a whiteout, SLOW DOWN! There is no load, no place that you just HAVE to be to risk your life and everyone around you. People in 4 wheelers need to understand that a trucker can gear it down, pretty much stand on the brake with everything he or she has, those trucks are not going to stop on a dime, just like trains, they need a certain distance to be able to stop, especially if they are loaded. Please guys heed this gentleman's advice and slow down, we all want to make it to our destination safe, alive and well. Take care out there on those lonely highways, stay awake, and always be aware of your surroundings. Thank you for sharing this, really put me on alert, fixing to call the hubby now and make sure he is ok!! Have a blessed one🙏

Oh and another thing, USE THAT AIR HORN.. Let everyone in town know you’re about to do something, they may not know what but they’ll be alert to YOU. Even as a rookie, I’ve had ZERO trouble with small towns because I make intentions clear

Best thing for a driver is signal in advance(for the cars behind you) then take that left(oncoming) lane. They always see traffic is blocked, then you can button hook without even having the traffic back up. It doesn’t work 100% though because some cars behind will still try and creep up on you so you have to block them. And if you block them, the turn will be shallow.

I leave the country every winter.

Well sirrrrrr well sirrrrr

Jerrrrraaaayyyy

That definitely happens

Love it love it

Keep the videos coming brotha!!

Appreciate you.

Amen! Life is too short not to enjoy it! Love you! 🩵

You just made it click in my brain. I feel confident and ready for my test now. Thank you!!

That's what I'm talking about 👍

Great info! Those turns can be dangerous in many ways. Keep up the good work!

This really makes sense and is easy to understand. Thank you

This helped me more than anybody has ever explained it. Thank you sir! Some people just don’t know how to explain it

Feed me more

😂

Where the videos @ bro backing shifting u know

For sure.

I did, more than once!

Best video

He talks too long at the beginning. Camera is off subject.

Great info. I am trying to learn how to park my 5th wheel 30 foot camper. It surely isn't as long as your TT. Any hints...appreciated. TIA

It is always fun to listen to a guy talking about his passion, willing teaching it to the next generation. I love that you encourage people to just go out and look (and course think) as doing it right is way more important then doing it quick.

Thanks

👍

Man u can't teach someone how to back up a 18 wheeler with toys

"Promo sm" 😂

4:59 I like am sure many others were not aware of how important Truckers are and the sacrifices they make. So I will say; THANK YOU TRUCKERS for your many sacrifices. Stay Safe

U get in trouble or what is going to happen?

I need help on blind side backing

I haven't driven for a living in over 40 years but anytime I went to get a new driving job I would always go get a printout from the DMV myself that way I knew what was on my record as of the date of that printout so when I would put on my application X Y and Z I could always preface it as of whatever date I pull that print out that way if anything else came up after that date I was not lying on the application and therefore it would not be grounds for termination. Drug test back in the day you could actually get a pharmacist to run limited urinalysis drug screens, now you can buy the kit yourself in the pharmacy and test your own urine, peeing dirty for a background check is one of the worst things a driver could ever do cuz that screening company is going to database that information and share it with any other company willing to pay for it.

These videos are so absolutely helpful for anyone going into trucking. Things people need to before they go into trucking. Great job Thomas . Keep up the good work

Oh you got a sub my friend!! 😊

Great video best explanation I see on CZcams sir !! Kudos to you for helping other 🎉🎉

Good info ❤️💪🏿💚

I'm an old guy now, but when I was nineteen I went on a backpacking trip across country and brought FIFTY dollars in traveler's checks with me. Fifty dollars, as in FIVE OH, and I went twenty five hundred miles ONE way. I still had to come back too, but I managed it. I took a Greyhound bus to actually GET there, and both tickets were paid for in advance, but for almost two months I hitchhiked with my buddy around Montana and Wyoming. Admittedly, that was a LONG time ago and a "different world", but today? As a sixty six year old? LOL. I wouldn't drive fifty miles from home without at least six or seven hundred in cash and my two trusty credit cards. Way too old to be rolling the dice at this point. Best of luck sir.

Came across this, he is so right, I have seen it happen so many times.

Good video with a strong message. Good job

The Supply Chain Pendulum Swing An observation by Mark Stephens Volume capacity. Outbound tender volumes. Spot market rates. These are but a few terms used in the trucking industry within the United States supply chain. As with any cost to profit business, supply and demand remains the critical constant by which one makes predictive analysis. In a balanced market, freight movement compares nicely to trucking capacity. In today’s current market, we find ourselves in a conundrum as such. Where supply is abundant, so too are empty trailers whose movement depends on quick timing and flexible negotiated compromising techniques by planners and dispatchers. Pre-pandemic figures categorize nicely into the predictive ebb and flow of the pendulum swing in the supply chain (the range of profit margins targeted and often surpassed within the supply chain) The supply and demand formula was interrupted during this time due to unpredictable consumer buying phases. Production plants, distribution centers and off market third party logistic warehousing begin over ordering and quickly filling beyond maximum capacity. This exasperated increase to the normal pendulum swing was a primary effect of rate escalation. As a retired history teacher, I do recall 19th century philosopher George Santayana’s century old adage, “by not knowing relative history, there’s an excellent chance of repeating similar failure.” Doomed or condemned I believe was the operative adjective used. The trucking capacity grew at an alarming scale, yet the demand to move product remained the carrot to the thoroughbred. Rates were at their highest ever measured and the pendulum needle could not have reached any further than it did before the adverse effect began. By the time carriers had received their pre-ordered trucks and trailers in 2023 the reflux of the pendulum began moving in favor of the shipper and receiver (customer) where it currently lies, albeit in a slow decline. Trucking capacity is still extremely high in spite of some of the lowest rates offered and agreed upon. Add that to the rise in fuel cost in 2023, the supply chain industry saw a devastating rise in carrier and broker bankruptcies with thousands going out of business. Many analysts predict a back to pre-pandemic normality this year. That’s “hopeful” thinking. Bizlytics predicts the spring of 2025 to measure closest to pre-pandemic volumes. If an agreement was achieved to neutralize the influx of supply chain movement through supply and demand predictives and attainable profit margins would fall in a satisfactory target range the survival of all participants would become a reality; at least until the next pandemic. Technology is moving along quite well. AI is becoming a more understood ally to the supply chain partnerships and those who exercise that technology will transcend to the top and to those who let’s say wing it, on their instincts, well let us not forget Dr. Santayana’s famous quote.

Always have some cash or credit available. If you must, sell something, pawn something or borrow money from friends and family. Even if you don’t get sent home, it will probably be a week or more before you get your first paycheck, so you need money to eat, etc.
