There is spam being posted in the comments. Only my icon will show up if it’s me and I would never post anything like this.
I know it was a scam as they can't verify the email message lol I sent lol..
Did you announce who won the hat?
Chuck what’s is Estes team driver pay.
They spamming hard. It's crazy now smh.
Sam O Ham has never contacted you😂
Who’s checking to see if chuck posted something in 2024 😢
Just started watching him please don't tell me something happened to him
@@newme2325. Not allowed to do videos any more. Safety reasons same as FedEx videos.
Its Been a long time Since you posted a video . Hope everything is going well for you and your friends and Family. You mad really Good Video's. I Especially liked how you allways Respected and Showed love to other Drivers.
I worked for ESTES as a linehaul extra board driver from 2014-2019 out of the Charlotte, NC terminal. At the time of hire, I was 65 years old and had 8 years of OTR experience, but no doubles experience. They offered me a trainer and I learned a lot! I worked for ESTES for 5 years. It was a great experience working for a company who really believed in safety. I made $89K my last year (2019) and I ran in 26 states. I only left because I wanted to retire at 70 and I desperately needed to have my right knee replaced. Thank you ESTES for giving me a memorable opportunity.
As extra board, are you over the road? If so, how far do you go out?
I'm hauling fuel at the moment and now I have a interview for estes Monday. I'm not sure if it's the right move
@@itisim I just interviewed with Estes last week. Sounded like a 6 figure trucking job to me with solid benefits
@hurt1704 cool now that's what I like to hear
@@itisim who do you haul fuel for? Getting tired of it?
Man I miss your content. I know that Estes won’t let you post anymore which sucks because your videos are entertaining and informative.
Congratulations Chuck, ESTES has to be grateful to have a great employee who takes his job so serious and does a awesome job. That electric power jack sure does help in moving pallets.
You are soooo right about him having an electric pallet jack.
I’m not a truck driver.. I work as a engineer for a GC on a jobsite and I get deliveries everyday from P&D drivers. These videos have been awesome for understanding what these driver go through and how the business functions. Thank you!
Hopefully you understand why we are late. Cant control the other drivers, problems and so on.
It's Big Joe, no doubt about it Chuck. We have a couple of them in our terminal for those 2000 lb. plus pallets of batteries, paint, wood flooring , WHATEVER, they really save your bacon, that's for sure. Still planning on getting a go-pro and showing what a day at XPO in Westchester Cnty NY doing P&D looks like, it's very different as far as the roads go. Good luck with the new venture buddy, and have a good day driver!!
Estes jax 045 here. The TM at Athens 047 took me on with only 9 months of having a CDL. Estes has blessed me in the same capacity
@@Conservative_Pulse how are you liking it? Xtra otr linehaul or p&d?anything you don’t like?
Well Congratulations on coming back to Linehual🎉. I’m at the Estes Linehaul in Houston,Texas on the Extra board . I applied to Estes after watching your Linehual videos on CZcams and I hope you do get a new truck you deserve one 🎉
Houston is one of my top 5 terminals to visit. If you ever see me definitely say hi, would be an honor to meet you. Stay safe driver!!
@@TheTulsaTrucker my name is Shaun I like your CZcams channel I wish everyday
@@TheTulsaTrucker that means I get the hat
Hey Chuck, Estes owes you an attaboy too because you're a damn good employee. That you are also good at doing videos and explaining the various things that you do and how it's done the right way. That you can transition back and forth between road and local is further proof of your ability as a driver and employee. I'm a retired commuter bus driver so I have a pretty good ability to view what you're doing and see how good you are. Keep it up! (I started with freight years ago but I realized that freight that walks itself on and off the bus is better!)
I see the electric pallet jack and it looked like a pair of new gloves. As a 42 year City p&d driver I miss it and have really enjoyed watching your videos. I have been retired 8 years and still miss it.
Just found your channel today. I found it interesting. I am a retired Owner Operater of 45 years running all 48 states. It was a good living for me and my family. I look forward to following your journeys. I've had coffee with many ESTES drivers over the years.
Welcome to the channel Paul, glad to have you driver!
42 years doing both local, otr, and line haul and now I’m done and enjoy watching your videos ! Stay safe to all drivers who keep our country moving and enjoy the upcoming holidays !!!
Jim don't fall for this scam
Those scammers are all over youtube
Those electric pallet jacks are really work savers , we used the electric ones that moved 2 pallets at a time at a grocery warehouse where we both delivered and picked up loads . I get what you're saying about seniority , as well as driving truck I also drove for Greyhound for 3 years back in the 80's ( working about 3 months out the year only to get furloughed for 9 months a year bc of such low seniority , and the closest location I could get to home was 800 miles away ) . But yeah , I'll enjoy very much seeing the various terminals and scenery along the way , can't wait to start seeing it . Be safe , watch out especially for those box trucks and 4 wheelers .
Congratulations Chuck! I'm not a truck driver, I'm retired and stumbled across your channel just a few months back, shortly before your previous line haul stint. I've enjoyed your videos with your positive outlook shining through. After watching a few of your LTL videos I discovered that I'd become addicted to the "clank, klink" as you closed the trailer doors after each delivery! I'm amazed at how you whip that 53' trailer in/out of various docking situations. Your line haul videos were interesting, showing the landscape as you traveled through, views and video of the various terminals and the differences in management style at several of them. Glad to see Estes finally provided electric pallet jacks to you drivers. Best of Luck and I look forward to videos for your next adventure!
My dad used to run LTL for a regional company called Molerway Freight Lines, and used the old manual pallet jack. Loved playing with them as a kid, but I can see how much easier the power-assisted pallet jacks can be.
Occasionally see your fellow Estes drivers up here in Montana. Every time I see one of the company trucks, I think of the great closing song to your videos!
Be safe on the highway God Bless You And Your Family
I’ve commented before but I’m the inbound yard dog at our louisville 086 terminal, my dad runs one of our schedules but thought I’d say how happy i am to hear your going back to line haul. I turn 21 in march and after my whole life waiting for it I can’t wait. I’m a forth generation in the industry so it’s safe to say all i know is trucking but hopefully i’ll see you out there sometime in the future! Stay safe!
I’m sure I will make it up to Louisville and if you ever see me definitely say high. Would be an honor to meet you. Bright future ahead for you Driver!
Man…I thought by the title that you were leaving Estes. Glad to see that you are staying and are going back to line haul! Plus that new pallet jack is nice. Sure to save your back. Cheers to 2023 and a possible 2023 Freightliner!!!
Electric pallet jacks are amazing tools! I hauled groceries for about 5 years and I definitely liked having electric jacks for pallets of water! Love your channel and everything you do! You seem like such a down to earth guy! God bless you and stay safe!
LTL is defiantly a different breed all together, I’m looking forward to seeing the line haul vids again since that is what I do here, we are going through some changes ourselves and can’t wait to see how they stack up with one another.
I’m glad I found this channel at the start of my decision to re-invent myself, it’s meant so much to speak with you on many different topics, the future is looking bright for a change, God bless you and yours and thank you Chuck !!!
Hhuuuuuuu7
Love the addition of the electric pallet jack. Those pieces of equipment definitely make the task of moving pallets of goods much easier. Good luck on your change within the company.
Electric pallet jack ( very cool ) Back in the day 70s / 80s I did the same thing you are doing. I worked for a company called Perkins Trucking. Keep Perkin with Perkins. Small company that I think had four terminals in the NE. Worked there for 10 years until they closed the doors and became an owner operator and ran 48 states for the next 22 years, and then comfortably retired.
Great job Chuck, your boss should be very proud of you, your professionalism is the way that i remember the trucking industry when i started out in the early 80's with my father. i just wished the industry as a whole would have carried on that tradition. Gad that your able to finely use an electric jack.
Looking forward to seeing LTL again and all of the content that will come from that. No matter what truck you get I’m sure it will be great. Have a blessed day as well, take care!
Mr Chuck I listen to your CZcams videos now for a while I am also a driver that works for Estes I am out of the Idaho area it's starting to give you a shout congratulations on your line hall you will like your truck I drive a two axle Freightliner that is exactly the one that you are going to be getting here shortly I've been with the company for 37 years they are great company to work for enjoy your time sir
Electric pallet jack, new pallet jack, hi chuck, love the videos. Work at overnite/ ups Frt for 28 years, now I’m retired. Watching your videos make me remember all my p&d work, it’s hard sometimes, but easy as time goes by. Sometimes watching your videos, I just want to get right back into it. Thanks chuck
Chuck - congrats on yet another level up in life! Congrats - I knew you when! I continue to push you to tell the young ones how to pursue your dreams - and make the changes needed to live a life of your dreams. You are a great example. Love you since 918! Life is good. Dave
Linehaul is the way to go! Stay safe and enjoy the holidays!!
Chuck, I have an Estes terminal right near me in the next town, i never knew much of the company and didn't care for them much until i saw your videos. I have a different light about the company today. If i was still driving today, i would come to the company. Thanks for the new feeling about them.
Chuck
Another great video! What great positive attitude....very rare in this world. Refreshing. Best of luck in your new venture.
Chuck hope your doing well and enjoying your trucking ! Been hanging around since the 918 days, noticed that you will no longer be able to post videos, shame due to your positive influence on people. I’ll keep checking to see when that new Z06 comes into play and some new corvette videos can start again. E-Ray might even be an option! Still have my 2018 Stingray, with a lot of the mods you had done to your C7, still enjoying it. God bless you in you travels, may he watch over you and your family! Be safe!
Congratulations Chuck - not only for the electric pallet jack, but also your move back to line haul. Have been a fan for a while now, and greatly appreciate your positive outlook and your willingness to share your life lessons and experiences with the rest of us. Thank You!
Hey Chuck. Thanks for all the helpful and informative videos 👍😎. I am a P&D driver from Denmark. And it's cool to see the way you do things. The best too you on the way forward and hope to see more from you. Richard from Denmark
I do believe I’m hearing a Powered Pallet Jack ... Electric, no doubt. Neat. That’ll help save a few Backs from unnecessary Strain and Injury.
Motorized pallet jack nice!
Glad your back . In my 25 years with Yellow I worked for the same TM for 18 years which I enjoyed and was unusual in the trucking industry . I had a steel warehouse on my run and you could not enter the warehouse without a hard hat Yellow had to buy for me. They would not load or unload you if you were not wearing a hard hat . Was a OSHA rule .
Electric pallet trucks! Definitely the way forward. Shame you didn’t have that in earlier videos.
Good luck Chuck, your videos have been really informative and helpful. I’m based in the UK. I have now gone back to truck driving, and in part, that’s thanks to you, watching your videos and other truckers on CZcams, helped me make the decision to return to what I love doing, they also helped me through a difficult personal time. So, big thumbs up to you brother trucker, look forward to watching the line haul vlogs!! Stay safe, peace. 👍
You are using a electric pallet jack. Good Luck Chuck! Terminal 211 SAN in the house!
That Electric pallet jack is what’s new and is for sure a back saver
I really wanted to be a LTL P&D driver, but unfortunately about a year ago I had a couple of seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. Getting a CDL is no longer an option for me because of that, but I always enjoyed your videos! Good luck with the line haul!
Looks like a new motorized pallet jack -- YES? Curious, can you say what type of paint you just delivered? I was in the paint business for over 40 year. Anyway, good to see you back.
Electric pallet jack.I grew up in Ashland Va just north of Richmond Va. Home of Estes and Overnite Transpotation, before UPS and XPO.
electric pallet jack or a powered pump cart. numbered as P S 0 2
You needed this electric pallet jack A LOT SOONER but i must say that it was a nice that you got to use one on you last trip. Good luck on your next chapter in trucking.
Does Estes let you record? I asked one of the drivers he says they get in trouble for recording.
He got in trouble
Congratulations Chuck
Electric pallet jack is what you used
I started driving in 1976 hauling and delivering furniture all over the mid west and we never had a fancy pallet jack like that.
Man you grew this Chanel to 30k+ subs and just stopped. Why?? What are you doing now?
Right
@@SilentRoadStudio I work at Estes also. What policy????
Is chuck ok?
I’m good, Estes no longer allows POV style content to be uploaded to social media unfortunately maybe that will change one day.
@@TheTulsaTrucker Glad you are doing good Chuck.
@@JB-mo3px I responded to your other comment. Curious to hear what happened and why you didn’t like it
@@hurt1704 It just wasn't for me. Tanker is for me. Dry van isn't.
Good afternoon Chuck I was trying to figure out where you went to I can’t find you on CZcams I found you on here on my CZcams channel on CZcams on my phone nice to hear your voice Mr. Chuck this is Norm Kolenda from Marlette Michigan keep sending all of those Estes Xpress freight radios OK I appreciate you very much
What happened to this channel?????
wondering same if he could at least reply to this
@@wesleycortes1149estees no longer allows filming.
@@dog_house875 but he could have done an update from home
I wonder that too
What's going on Chuck? Quit CZcams altogether?
Wish we could find out what happened, miss him and his positivity
@@samr5075 yeah I mean he was going to line hail so I figured there would a delay in new vids but this is drop off the face of the Earth. Where are ya chuck?
I miss his positive attitude on life wish Chuck would give us a update 😢
He's not allowed to film anymore
@@scubajoe3321 oh wow ok. He should make a video at home explaining that.
Definitely awesome to see the new electric pallet jack! I love the Big E Logo on the front! Congratulations & Drive safe!
That's the first thing I notice that you had a new pallet jack. My son-in- law drives for Dayton Freight out of Dayton. Oh. as a P&D driver. Good luck on your job as a line hauler. Be careful out there because there is all kind of crazy drivers out there. God bless ya!
electric pallet jack are idd life savers.
I work in a DIY shop in belgium and goddam i have respect for the truckers that need to push a pallet 36-48 pieces of 20 liter bottles of fuels for a fire with a standard pallet jack
Good luck and congr8 for the promotion. God Bless.
Nice new electric pallet jack and have a safe time on long haul/OTR
Electric power jack!
Thx for all that you have done for everyone Chuck!
Best wishes to you and your Family and your future.
Hey Chuck, my name is Alam, first time seeing your video. Pretty cool! I used to work for Estes Express, and it was definitely one the best jobs I've ever had, one of the best companies I've ever worked for. Worked for them for over 6 years out of the Framingham MA terminal; was a P&D primarily, but also did HUB and Linehaul. My Terminal manager was Gordon Jennings... a great man, hands down the BEST manager I've ever worked for. Been thinking about, and would go back in a heartbeat!
Keep up the good work, and stay safe out there, brother😉!
Wow! I saw some Estes trailers on a train rolling through our neighborhood and the first thought I had was, wondering what chuck is up to! Hope your next adventure is full of promise!
Sweet new powered pallet jack Chuck! Enjoy the return back to the open road, keep well, stay safe.
Powered Pallet Jack? Nice! Thank You for all the previous videos. I always enjoy watching you.
Here you are on your last day and now you get an electric pallet jack!
My opinion is that I am very happy to see you go back to line haul. As I've told you in the past I am retired from being a US Mail hauler with a dedicated run which I loved. To me P&D is fine but is more of a young man's deal. I just liked doing the same run every trip and not having to touch any freight whatsoever.
That and not having to deal with people. I know you've shown some great people at your stops with P&D but I'm sure you've had some more "grumpy" ones. When I did a short stint as a truckload driver it was mostly terrible how they treated over the road drivers.
I'll be looking forward to your videos back on line haul!
Hey chuck my name is freddy mize and for nearly 40 years I drove for various lol companies in houston texas when me and my wife watch you I tell my wife you are about to do your job then she says he did just what he did we live in conroe texas now it sure does bring back good memories watching you do your job keep up the good work be safe I always tell my wife when we see a Estes truck I say there goes chuck me cb handle was lonesome cowboy
Is that an electric pallet jack? Congrats to you Chuck, and thanks for taking us through a “day” in the life of a P&D driver. Love your videos!
Nice electric pallet jack. Thank you for all you do.
your ueeing a new electric pallet jack and congrats on go back to line hual MR chuck good too see you back
Electric pallet jack and good energy as always
Nice electric pallet jack. Congrats, Chuck
Coming back to the extraboard!!! Congrats!!! Things can be slow right now but I’m still killing it out here! Maybe I’ll run into you again sometime!!
I’m sure our paths will meet again. Stay safe out there Robert!
Interesting electric jack, haven't seen one where you manually have to lift and lower it.
I thought the same
Fellow extra board driver out of 074. I’m glad you’re staying with the company. I enjoy the videos.
Being out of the Knoxville terminal we should cross paths at some point. Definitely say hi if you ever see me. Stay safe driver 💪
Ahh..The electric pallet jack.... makes life a little easier ..Congrats
Just came back to comment on this making sure everything is good with you, Chuck.....hope you are blessed and doing well
Right away I could see that you had a power assist jack and bless you sir keep posting on what ever you are doing I will watch you.
Looking at this a year later I hope you're doing well and will return to videos soon....
My dad my dad is a truck driver from 28 years I love what you do you bring stuff to our grocery stores thank you so much
I've been a more recent viewer here. But I cannot believe how adept you are at backing in your trailer.
Excited to see the new stuff coming up!
Good Afternoon Chuck. It has been a long time since you have made a video. I hope everything has been good for you.
Doing great, Estes just no longer allows the POV vlogs
Power jack finally while your moving up in the company. Good luck Chuck and thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Your loaders look out for yal dock bumpers just as good as they do for us lift gate boys. Only difference is we have to stack the freight down cause there's never a forklift rather than a ramp around.
fancy pallet jack!
Sorry to see you leaving P&D. Congrats on returning to line haul. The new electric pallet jack looks good. Best of luck and be safe on the road.
Congrats Chuck! Happy for you that your moving on to line haul,..what you wanted! Safe travels...God Bless!
Congrats on your future.
Electric Pallet Jack is what you used.
Electric pallet jack, wow that’s a nice addition. That should make for less back pains.
Chuck! Can't wait to see what's next! I've been so busy with some personal stuff I haven't been on CZcams for a while, hope all is well man and god bless!!
Also man, I haven't made it to the end of the video but I can hear some pain in your voice and I don't know if it's the pain of leaving your job or something else given a comment from one of the receivers. But just know we got your back and we don't have to know what's going on. But you do have a whole community of people that'll pray for you and your family if you need it 💙
Glad to here that you still alive…hehe- Hope your next chapter is better!
Chuck has a new pallet jack!👍👍
That electric pallet jack will be a game changer for the P&D guys. Looking forward to your line haul videos again. I drive by the big E here in Grand Rapids everyday, hope you can make it up here again.
Electric pallet jack. Congratulations Chuck! Wishing you nothing but the best!
I see that electric pallet jack what a back saver.
ive never really seen an electric pallet jack that looked like a normal hand jack. All of ours have electric lift and for the movement, more like the bigger ones for in warehouses
Chuck
May God bless you in new adventure! May bless and keep you safe each and every day so you return safely to your family
I wish I would have had the electronic pallet mover in my days when I worked moving material!
Say Chuck, that's a nice electric pallet jack. Webb Estes came to Detroit 172, to check out the electric pallet jack that I bought for myself a couple years ago. He then had his team sample several different electric jacks. Eventually, they bought 1500. Created the survey to ask the drivers which ones they thought were the best. They bought another 1000 or so. Our terminal has 6-7 of them. Glad that Webb saw the need for drivers wanting to save their backs moving heavy freight several times a day.
P&D driver at Estes in Wisconsin here. Just stumbled across your channel while being off work from an injury. Good content! Be safe
Be safe out on the roads and enjoy the videos and like the little electric jack not as good as a the big pallet Jack's but it gets the job done
That's a good looking Electric pallet jack!
Electric Pallet Jack. Total back saver.
