I love how you stop and check on everyone in the freezing cold. Awesome job ❤️
Joe Caudle yea you don’t see people doing that on the road anymore
Very true
If there were alot more people on the road like you this world would be so much happier to live in
GOD BLESS YOU FOR STOPPING FOR PEOPLE IN DISTRESS IN THE SNOW!
Don't unhook if your stuck its gonna be more expensive if you do it that way
Your a nice guy for stopping and offering help
My great grandfather was a trucker way back before cb radios, licenses, or dot. Other drivers are all you had, today you’re pulling me out, next week some one is bringing you gas. Good on you for stopping. Merry Christmas and god bless
You really are the king of hotshots! Out here helping guys and giving away tarps. The big dog always gets the haters..
You’re a great guy to stop and help other drivers.We need more people like you.Merry Christmas to you and your family and best of luck in the new year.
As a owner operator out here i wan to thank you for stopping just to make sure that people are OK
Dude I can’t believe you took that load. I was in Tacoma too and actually called on that load but when they told me it was containers, I was like no way! Then I wondered what sucker would take it as it was on the load board forever, lol. Good video and great job helping those people out! I was delayed getting across Snoqualmie pass too because people had spun out and they actually closed it for several hours going eastbound.
Thank you for slowing down and helping the fellow truck drivers!! Nice video!!
Good on you for stopping and checking on everyone 👍👍 but we neeeed longer videos lol even if it's just driving through the snow we will watch it.
Good way to start my day! Watching a video from tow piglet and the MEGALONG!! Be safe out there alex.
Props on helping your fellow drivers!
To take the time to check on others is just priceless. Dude do you ever not laugh? Just another level respects
Tow Piglet to the rescue. "Great job Alex!" Thanks for sharing.
stopping to check on the other truckers like a true gent! OK Piglet! Maybe good to keep some tire chains on the truck in case you run into some of the snowy hills
You need to get a CB Radio in that truck!
Your a good man Charlie Brown!! Always helping everyone. Good Karma bro. See ya out there soon. 👍✌️
Alex your a good man! Stoping to help your fellow truckers. 👍
It makes me incredibly happy that you stoo to check, doesnt happen anywhere enough these days
These are the videos i enjoy watching the most. Just you being on the road making those dollars! Love the adventures man! Keep em coming!
Merry chrismas from a rainy country called The Netherlands 😁😁
Wow alex.
I admire you, god bless you.
Hopefully one day i get to shake your hand, ppl like you we need more in the world.
Helping out your fellow truckers👍
TP Putting on his Superman mode on! LOVE ❤️ IT!!
We get wet snow here on west coast. Gets really slippery the first few inches. In the Rockies that much snow would not be an issue
This really shows a sense of community. Its quite wholesome
loving the videos!
Something I've often thought about building on my gooseneck is a platform on the neck that is hinged at the front (build it light weight, but heavy enough you can throw your tires up there). Then put a electric lift cylinder at the rear to lift the back to create a ramp/ transition to direct air up over the containers.
There is a better way - if containers is all your doing.
Cost - would take a some time to pay for it.
Good Alex for trying to help other fellow truckers.
I didn't know he was In the Northwest. I live in Yakima WA 😀.
I'm a truck driver myself but I work for a local company.
Absolutely love that positive energy man.
This is why I park during the winter. It's not worth the problem of getting stuck or even worse. I'll reconsider getting on the road in the spring.
just got in from plowing snow, and now to watch a video before going to bed.
I love your videos! Keep them coming.
u stop and help those people u r a true gentle man way to go Alex
Congrats on 100k! Keep up the great content
First snows of the year are a doosey bruh.. safe travels homes!
Good job brother! You have a lot of videos and I plan to watch them cause I'm seriously thinking of doing the hotshot. I'm 58 and looking to do it for few years to continue putting $$ in social security. Kids are grown and got one more in college. Stay safe and I hope I get a chance to ask you a few questions in the near future.
Great video ! Man that’s no fun out there.... 🥶 Be safe buddy
Good job Alex!!!
Dam! Only 60 lbs to spare! I have been called on those containers so many times and I always tell them the same thing! NO! You know why! Glad you made it safely. I am getting out of my comfort zone and now you got me worried! LOL! I always said I wouldn’t do it in the winter, but money talks!
God bless all Patriots! Merry Christmas! 🇺🇸🎄🇺🇸
thats nice of you that you stopped for that guy thanks buddy
Need to show more driving in the snow buddy but thanks for the video and keep up all ur good work.
Good trip. Another good video.
Be safe.
you have a great demeanor! Well done
Awesome video I went from Miami to Iowa and that’s no joke and I only had a 30 foot boat 👍🏼👍🏼
Alex your videos are getting better and better.
I think you’re a super nice guy man. Keep it up.
Awesome work man. Keep it up.
I’m getting a 50ft 60 ton lowboy delivered from Ohio to Seattle it’s $6600
NEVER UNHOOK WHEN YOUR STUCK !!!!
Great video, Merry Christmas to you and family..Be safe out there, have a great day..😀👍☕️🍫🇺🇸🎁
I live in the mountains of New Hampshire and I still get anxiety watching videos of trucks driving in the snow.
HELLO, & Happy Holidays to you & yours, later CSE
Good looking out for another driver
You should get some led lights.. I have a 14 Laramie with the same headlights and these are 1000x better than the stock bulbs. Plug and play. They don't overheat and they put off enough heat to keep the ice and snow melted off.
Called Auxito 9005 (HB3) Headlight LED BULB CONVERSION KIT
They will make you love your truck more at night. I've used then for 3 years.
yea, snow!!!
Be careful my friend! Merry Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS alex to you and family
Great Video Alex
I’m not a hot shot but I do haul for my self and friends some. Could u make a wind visor coming off of your trailer or truck for hauling those shipment? Get better MPG
Get it!!
You're the real mvp
Glad to c I'm not the only one to stop and try to help I would have been able to pull truck out of ditch flatbed has lots of chains so as long as they are loaded and is able to be pulled out via front of truck tow hooks in bad weather I leave mine in but Alex look up video on best fuel treatment for diesel i think hot shot Is best brand but get some big road flares so u can alert traffic in those situations
Congratulations on your container load, talk about Long Haul Trucking. I’m surprised you can’t buy those containers any closer than the Pacific Northwest. Hope you get another good load. Love your channel keep those videos coming. Drive carefully my friend.
I think there’s a container shortage right now in the shipping industry which trickles down to everyone in the states looking to buy for their particular project. Not sure if that’s a real shortage or an artificial one.
You need a ramp storage on that trailer for sure brotha
I live 60 miles north of ft Campbell so welcome to KY lol
Perfect load 👌🏼😃
You’re awesome. Good hearted for pulling over and seeing if you can help. Also is that a mega cab duality in the run with the containers ? I haven’t driven a mega cab dually. Wish they made a mega cab long bed dually.
Thanks, I no longer have that truck but it awesome. It was stretched to be a mega cab long bed
Can you please explain the pros and cons of having a cdl vs not having one in your biz?
I think they sell aero kits for improving fuel eco while hauling containers
Hey Man! Keep the good work! Don’t take the bait!
Keep rolling. Thanks for checking on truck family. Who do you use for dispatch
I saw load mizers video he said A lot of good things about you and if you do check out the comments on it too. I never knew you were such a nice person.
Cool that you stopped to check on your fellow hot shot guy. Snow is not fun
Anytime you're all in containers on a flatbed you need to have change and binders on it not just straps it's against the law
Thank you 🙏🏻
I haul containers for a living and have never heard that from any cop.
If your customers wonder why there loads are late they need to watch your videos😂
Lol 4k for 2,300 miles. I would have fired my dispatcher right then and there. Should have been. $9200 minimum
If it were a semi truck load...
Once stopped to help a guy on 20a in New York and ended up in the ditch myself. at night kids cryin, waiting hrs for tow truck. some good Sam tried pulling me out and ended up breaking the front axle off the frame by hitting a culvert. I’d love to help ppl out but unless the cars upside down or burning I ain’t stopping no more, to unsafe and dangerous with snowy roads
Merry Christmas brother
realistically not much you can do for a guy in that situation anyway. Everybody has a cell phone now to call for help and you don't want to be a sitting duck on a highway like that. Bad idea to be out there in those conditions in the first place.
2300 miles at 6mpg. +380 gallons of dsl. $2 a gallon $760 in fuel? 40 hours drive? Pay yourself $15 hr $600. $1360. All other costs. I do wonder if anyone has looked into streamlining conex boxes? I got over 6mpg at 80k in a semi. 425 Cat. Yrs back.
My worst in a 1 ton was 8.8mpg. Oversize, over height. Limited to 50 mph
you should get one of those giant, ridiculous air deflectors
If you always stopping on the side of the road often you should get a Amber light bar
Hey Alex is there a way you could tarp the front of the container to the trailer to make it more aerodynamic
I-90 get pretty crazy out here in wa state
My fiancé is from Kentucky and we’re in Montana now, other states pay the same price as hay for straw from Montana and other states where there’s a ton of wheat so I wonder if it would pencil out for him to haul down to the south
Alex. Have you entertained the idea of a wing? Possibly a removable one?
I. Love. The. Channel.
That is why you have a cb on.
You’re a little crazy going into the season to be inspected with such a long truck (get my twist on the season to be merry? Haha...no? Okay)
*Lucky I live Maui, aloha!!*
Washington state requires chains for container loads,!
I like how you stop fro other drivers out here just get your self a cb
Typically tow piglet always helping people
Bro you pick the load from my job sct nice
Loaded up 2 20 ft containers to ft Campbell there too the young kid loading up forklift was in bad shape
Buenos dias Alex estoy por empezar en ese negocio por favor que trailer me recomiendas comprar? Gracias, excelentes videos.
Have you seen the new trailer with the new step deck
Nice video
Nice! Good Samaritan... :-)
