    Could you imagine if the trucker that was supposed to be escorted before you drove for MIGWAY? That would've been hilarious. You'd never come back to a South Carolina Port after that 😂.

    A good escort can get you from point A to B with no incident but a great escort who knows his stuff will make you feel like you've done that drop off/ pick up a hundred times even if it's your first time.

    I drove flatbed for years. We always got directions like this. Even better, just longitudinal coords because there’s no roads yet! This was the most realistic trucking content I’ve seen in a while and I like your commentary.

    As a Charleston native, it was fascinating to see you experience our city from the trucker’s perspective. Glad you had a fantastic escort! You can probably imagine, but Charlestonians also get fed up with the number of trucks downtown, it can cause some serious problems for the trucks and for other drivers! Not to mention the roads themselves. Hopefully the city builds more facilities to help reduce problem spots like that right turn out of the port.
    Glad you enjoyed the city!

    I know some guys who go to Miami every week with everything you can imagine for ships to bring to the Islands. Bahamas and Jamaica. Frozen food, milk, meats, on and on. Everything has to be shipped to the Islands and the cruise ships have to be loaded with everything imaginable. I know a guy who brings caustic soda to the ships directly to use for exhaust treatment to reduce pollution. It's a nice niche to keep

    Aany would be drivers out there should watch this guy,you can learn a lot from him. I don't think you do it on purpose,bit you give so much info while driving. Planning a route and what to do when you get there is the most obvious one,and one so many dont seem to do and wing it! If you plan ahead it makes your day so much easier and less stressful.

      I’ve read quite a few absurd stories from truckers as well😂 I have a love hate relationship with them honestly. A few years ago I was traveling with my mom in our car, and there was only truckers on the road at that time, and surprisingly we didn’t have any issues, the truckers just zoomed and we just zoomed. But like last year, we traveled and the traffic was so bad and the trucks were making it worse because they wouldn’t get out of the fast lane😂 but I respect how hard it is to drive those huge things

    Great vid! Always challenges. Been to multiple ports; was just at Gloucester City, NJ. Had a TWIC, but they expire, so haven’t renewed. I just pay the fee, and each port is different, ComCheck/no cc, cc/debit/no cash/or ComCheck. Escorting is great. At NJ they texted a PDF of Port too. Ports like Ft Lauderdale, no escort needed/payment, just check in with Homeland Security (and easy access from I-595!) When I lived in SoFla, the Sysco drivers loved delivering to Port Miami Cruise Ships, pay included piece pay, but was all “no touch” and they’d unload a semi in 15 minutes, usually 3 per ship! Easy money for them. Drive safe!

    you can custom routes on google maps, just drag the route line where you want to change something and it will add a stop where you moved it
    example, if you want to turn left at road x instead of right, you drag from that point to the intersection you want to go and it will reajust the trip including this.
    To remove a customization, you zoom and click on the dot on the trip line that have been created when you modified the trip.

    @muskaos Před 11 měsíci

    I was in a US Navy aircraft squadron from 2003 to 2007 that shipped all our tools and other gear from WA to Norfolk, VA when we had to meet up with our aircraft carrier and go to sea. Typically we would get two 50 foot trucks, and we would load them at our hanger in WA, fly to VA, and unload the trucks on the pier by the carrier. So, imagine doing this, but the receiving end is a _Navy_ pier, with a big ole nuclear powered aircraft carrier sitting at the pier 100 feet away, and there was no loading dock, all the pallets were picked off the end of the trailer by forklift, and guys would hop in with pallet jacks to move the pallets to the end of the trailer.
    It was good times, I miss it sometimes.

    Awesome vid Dave! Really enjoyed it. Tip for tight rights; assuming you do safe & slow intersection maneuvering, Lol!
    Approach turn down center lane, right signal ON. Do a lane to lane serpentine so that your just inside & pointed into turn from the left lane; leave yer butt only partially, not fully in the right lane behind you.
    Won't prevent motorcyclists; however if they SEE you set up like that, and you don't see them, well Darwin. 😏
