I love when people understand that semis don't have the turning radius of a car so they back up, those are great people. Thanks for the video Dave!
Yeah I feel like a lot of Truckers say we don’t get respect on the road but I feel for the most part people give you space to get in .. I drove in L.A. traffic and as soon as people see the lights when I wanted to switch lanes they’d let me in .. other truckers are pretty respectful on the road too .. 🤷🏻♂️ I feel like when people have 1 horrible experience on the road they base their opinions on that single experience and not look at the overall situation 😂
Back when I was getting my CDL license and I only had my permit their would be times they would back up because I had a low boy trailer that is long than Dave’s trailer
@@douglasmijangos3327their is a lot of bad drivers too
@@douglasmijangos3327 That,
Or they look too many of those Dash-Cam videos, and base everything they see in there on how things actually go.
There are always rotten apples everywhere, but it's like they think each and everyone is a rotten apple.
which is sad :(
If I come to an intersection and see a semi waiting to turn in my direction via turn signal, I stop a few car lengths back. Some behind me may not like it but too bad.!
The knock and check on trucks story...
I'm law enforcement and one summer I come on duty and get asked to do a welfare check on a truck tractor.
He was parked on the shoulder one mile after a rest area. There was a previous welfare check on the same truck almost twelve hours prior when it was at the rest area.
I get to the truck and no answer. It's running too. I try the drivers door and it's locked. Try the passenger door and it opens. I call out and get no answer.
Climb up into the truck and the heater is on full blast. In 100 degree summer heat.
I find an older trucker in his sleeper. He can't talk and can't move. His little dog was next to him and it died from the heat.
Immediately got EMS to respond and it was so hard to get him out of there. They did a great job.
Saved that truckers life because someone paid attention and asked us to check on him.
Dave," I am not being racist... but!"
Everyone watching... "This is going to be good...!" LOL
My dad was a truck driver all his life until he passed away in 1996 from cancer. When I was a teenager I went on the road with him couple times so I remember what can and can't do that well.
So when I'm driving at night and a semi passes me I will flash my head lights letting them know it's clear to change lanes. Just like how some semi drivers will do it for other semi drivers. Even though I'm just in a car they do flash their trailer lights back saying thanks.
I used to have a old 70's CB Base Station with a old antenna my grandpa gave me. Using that CB Base Station setup I could talk to people up to 20 miles away. Which was perfect for talking to truckers that was driving on the interstate which was around 12 miles away.
Not sure if anyone said it already, but I always found that if I back up and get in line with the dock BEFORE I slide my tandems back, it makes it a whole lot more smooth. And smooth is fast! 😂
They told him to do it beforehand. I think I would have not listened to that. I would have lined up first.
Great video, I grew up in Toledo and it's really interesting to see the city from a trucker's perspective
I agree with you about them knocking on every door but i am happy they do cause my brother had a hart attack park on the side of he road and if they would not have checked on him it is hard to say how long it would have been
Dang. Wish i had the time to watch this. At least i'll know what im doing after i pick up (& clean-up/personalize) my truck.
Starting my trucking career today/tomorrow! Thank you *VERY* much Dave for keeping me motivated these past several months!!!
Congratulations, and safe travels!
So how did the first day go?
@@matthias18 Well, i didnt crash (although did come close). Didnt get pulled over. Got to my destination but the DC didnt have something i needed; 🤷🏽♂️
@@matthias18 The second day was much, MUCH worse than the first tho! P.o.s. truck the boss put me in crapped out on me in the middle of nowhere. Was barely able to limp it 30miles back to a truck-stop (& that was after my spending 1.5-2hrs trying to figure out wtf is wrong with the truck...granted, im not the most mechanically inclined person)
@@somethingepic777 In Sweden myself driving a box truck, bit stressful to find the right place and such when you are new, but i was on a 6 month trial and well i did not get the job, to slow, not fun since i enjoyed the work and colleagues, to bad the boss never told me this during 6 months. Hope you will enjoy the job and not be to stressed out.
I’ve been told by cops that zipper lanes are most efficient when reducing a lane.
I always thought I was terrible backing especially with my tandems not almost always forward but I haul a lot of 45k pound paper loads down here in Mississippi and Louisiana and each plant has their own rules but I've gotten really good with tandems all the way back haha
The worst back I had was in a fire truck. The mirrors had 2 inches on either side and the water cannon had 4 inches of clearance.
Hey Dave checking in with you my man. Thanks for the great content. I'm living vicariously through your experiences. If circumstances were different I'd be out there with ya. But I'm loving life and riding with you is just as fun. Keep it up brother. Keep it between the mustard and the mayonnaise!
Thank you for trucking, Dave. Safe travels.
Always like to hear the commentary and to go along for the ride, thanks Dave, and have an awesomeness and safe day.
Love the videos dave! ❤
Dave is the BEST!!
I'm always excited for the Toledo videos because I'm from there
Stay safe, get er done
Hey Dave I love your videos a watch them in my down time and you drive my town two year ago and keep up the good work
Every shipper should allow overnight parking!
I love Riding with Dave! Who else?
I watch him while i play American truck simulator lmao.
Nice video & stay safe dave
As a truck driver myself I can say that cars backing up for us or stopping early to allow us to turn is greatly appreciated. And then u have the jerks who see us starting our turn and speed up to block us. To me it's like "what are u in a hurry to stop?"
life. They want to become freshly squeezed jerkoff.
I'm a yard driver and fully understand your frustrations with tandems being all the way back. we have some drivers that drop and always slide to the back. even in our trucks its a pain sometimes lol. when i was OTR i never slid till I was in the door. unless they had to slide at the guard shack or something lame like that. haha
Good job
Dave's the only trucker who doesn't eat the CB when he transmits. Everyone else is so loud and distorted!
That's because you are hearing him from his voice from his camera directly from your speaker. If you were to hear his voice from another trucker's CB radio inside their truck, it would be just as distorted as he hears their voice on his CB. Think about it.
Put them back then .
West Side Transport at 23:38, when you were looking for yard dog. My former trucking company I drove for. Just in front of JB Hunt trailer at the dock. Trucker with open doors doing U Turn in front of you.
I got caught up in a vehicle fire a couple of weeks shut down 59 South near Steele, AL just southwest of Gadsden, AL. Fortunately, I was not at work that day. Had spent the day at Noccalula Falls Park.
Watched this whole video looking for my truck or anyone that stood out. Lmao. Welcome to T-Town.
Possibly couldve made that a straight back almost, and also another thing slide your tandems forward real fast when u get to the door then slide them back once your straight with the door, I do it all the time, lil more getting in and out of the truck but worth it
Ok. Thanks. I might do Sprinter van driving. I’ve talked to a couple companies.
If backing with the tandems back is hard for you, you either have to pracise more doing it, or you have to back up with them forward, then slide them and finish the docking. Not much else to do about it for now. I wish someone would make a good backup system for big trucks that had camera feeds all over, so the computer could give the turn radius and all that, and dock softly at the exact spot every time.
Man Dave you sound just like me, it happens to me whenever it's time for me to take home time.
Great 👍👍
I love the rest area talk. Its so relatable. I guess another way to view why those geico sponsored agents check on you may be due them not wanting to wait to circle back and just move on to check the rest of the road. Unlike troopers who dont even bother knocking and leave a nice little paper on your window or mirror.
On sharp turns, try going slower, the wheel turns faster. In that scenario, I would stop let go of brake stop let go of break all while turning. It just depends how close or past the line 4 wheelers are and what im hauling. Not saying you dont know that, sometimes we forget stuff when were not focused. Again, not saying you werent focused on driving just because a camera was on your head or you were talking to it. Havent seen one of your videos since you quit CFI. Hope all is good.
I loved your video, Dave, as always, stay safe.
I need to get my cb working properly
Keep trucking brother! I drive log truck in the PNW. Wish you were driving a 13 or 18 spd but I won't hold it against ya!😂
9:56 I thought you were about to say the driver was jackin it
Either that or getting a Lewinsky…
@@JohnHallgren A Lewinsky 😂😂
Hi Dave
Hey Dave. When you are in Michigan you can stay here bro. We are cool. Not sycho . It’s all good. I will send you info to your P.O. Box. It’s all good. We will be glad to have you. We are good people.
18 pallets! Slackers! I could do that easy 1/2 hr with those great pallets.
Hell yeah
Fireworks videos thought I was going to have to cancel
OK, Dave, gotta get that headliner trim fixed.
Darn 😮 Late again to your video Dave... You are in My Town...
Wanna cup of coffee 🎉
Some yellow in that truck that went by you
And this is why CBs should be mandatory in freight trucks, imagine if they didn’t have CBs, they would be right in the middle of all of that traffic and not know a thing about it before they got right up on it.
Get out of the truck slide your tandems back! When you're lined up on the door get out slide them back! What so hard?
Way of the road Dave. Way of the road.
Dave, slide your tandems after you back. You don't have to do it before you back.
I just discovered you Dave. You are funny as hell bro. I do local deliveries in smaller truck. I always wanted to do cross country in full semi but was always afraid of having to learn how to back up into docks. I know you learn how obviously but I haven’t applied for training.
It's a challenge but you can do it. I was a CDL instructor and taught a lot of drivers with no experience. If you already know the basics of handling a truck you have an advantage. Since you haven't driven OTR before you will have to go through a school but there are a lot of companies that will pay for your school and then you have to work for them for a set amount of time. It's a good trade off because the schools are expensive. Pick a company that fits you the best and go for it.
@@johnmilligan2964 Currently 20yrs old, planning to go to CDL school but Can't do regional b/c under 21. And most local jobs either prefer OTR experience or flatout require you to be 21 anyway unfortunately. So far only job I meet the minimum requirements for is a local government job for a nearby county. Pay is (relatively) low but hoping I can get that job cus if not, I'll have to essentially wait until im 21. And by the time im 21 it will have been like 7 months since driving a truck and im worried companies will see that and pick someone else b/c of it.
My brother-in-law works there
It’s weird how trucks which are bigger & can be more of a hazard have the minimum for turn signals at least most of them. And cars have all the fancy very noticeable signals.
I was in a wreck yesterday my grandma was watching over me and my stepdad my stepdad was driving and his side was all messed up and my door hit a tree hard but there was no dent in door
On those metal seals if they just have the little tab you can wiggle the tab back and forth a bit and it will eventually break. The ones with the metal ball are the worst tho
Those with the metal balls on the end bud this is the way I do them......put two fingers through the ring and pull tight against the ball (now this sounds a bit dodgy but it works lol!) now with the palm of your free hand rub the ball up and down while keeping that ring pulled tight and I promise that works breaking them seals!!
i know i passed you in that traffic. it was in the period that you werent filming tho! Welcome to Toledo, my home. accudents because of idiots are normal 😂😂😂😂
Hey Dave we have Indians with turbins everywhere here in Australia driving all kinds of trucks Sadly ,it would seem driving isnt their best skill.
Kym
Adelaide
I love it here in Sweden with the digital info screens that gladly tells you that there is something on the road and one lane closed but not which one out of 3 so you can prepare ahead of time.
Kinda crazy, I go there every other day 3rd shift drop and hook, and hell that fab 5709 I might of dropped it there🤣
U beat me , dave. I ran mine today, 30 October, all the way down to 28 minutes less 10 min pre trip🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙don't u c the pattern...they wanna iritate u badly😁😁😁😁
I just realized and remembered why your voice sounds so familiar. I remember you back with Bob. I wonder what happened to him. You guys had an amazing channel and I miss the content, Shame all the videos got deleted :/
Safe travels. We always make more room for you guys…and gals that are bigger than us😽
It should be part of drivers ED I think….understanding trucks, ect.
CDL class good starter.
Yes I grew up with truck drivers, do I know it all? No..not yet lol jk👻
Never, I mean never depend on anyone to help you navigate that semi. HEARTLAND EXPRESS
Dave is that the trailer with the crusty wheels
16:33 IMHO The cop was intentionally being a polite asshat because you were all on the shoulder. The subtle penalty for being there was the hassle of being woken up by a cop. 🤣😂
what do you do when your in traffic and you run out of drive time?
Why didn't you have your tandems forward until just before docking
What company do you recommend going with. with my first year with my CDL?
Dave, I have a question. What CB Radio are you running?
she's cute
so funny I moved from north eastern ohio to southern Mississippi last year and you moved to ohio haha
Hey Dave I am looking into starting trucking I’m 19 any tips
why didn't you wait till you had a short straight back pretty much in the slot then slide the tandems back
you could of moved your tandomes after you was at the door
I don't know anything about trucking. But Dave, could you not just back your tandem after you line it up with the dock. Why do it before you back ?
Hey Dave, how is online transport treating you?!
Semis in the left lane????
Fwd tandem newbie! Lol! Slid back is easier kills the overhang! I used to hate tandems slide back but now do all the time
what happens if they tell you to move and you have no time? you get fined even though it was the law that told you to move
18:28 are you going off the phone or did you miss a turn there Dave?
Breaker one nine
Dave, i have a question.
What is your favorite music to listen to when trucking?
Where is Billie Joe
Sounds like CB radio is the audio only version of Bonehead Truckers
20:13 I understand that I am probably just an idiot, but what is the yellow thing next to the road?
Looked like a jet ski.
@@bigjohnnelson2613I would agree…an old one definitely?
5:22 wtf is up with the overpass
They’re rebuilding a lot of our overpasses on 75 in the Toledo area.
Why didn’t you just back with your tandems forward until you got set, then slide them back ?
Are you still with Billie Joe
Man your truck making some bad sounds
Billie Joe gon kick your ass lol
For some reason I like your videos, I just don't know why. Maybe because you are always upbeat, even when complaining. But most of it is just you saying not much at all, expressing every thought just to fill space to make a 30 minute video. I wish you'd become a flatbedder, just to have more interesting content. But if it works for you to make money, I guess you're onto something.
First
first
Sorry with all the shit going on in the world, a turbin, cb radio never a good sign.
