“Are you kidding me? Pam, and Jim, are totally hooking up. All they do is smile.” -Kevin Malone, The Office
Camera guy question answered at 25:21
K. O. Much appreciated
Insert Kevin Malone, “Are you kidding me? Pam, and Jim, are hooking up. All they do is smile!”
Thanks I was falling asleep 👍
Ouch Friend zoned :(
Dude moved for her and nada...
You grew so fast because you are sweet and genuine. Please don't ever change ❤
I am 11 years old and ever since I was five I wanted to be a truck driver you are very motivating and I hope one day I accomplish my dream. keep up the great content I really enjoy it!
why do you wanna be a truck driver, kid?
Get a GoPro with a mount for Dakota. That would be cool!
Send one to her P.O.? (Invest in their channel)
Yes, Dakota needs more air time.
Aint nothin to see here 😂 unless rollin through the badlands i guess🤷♂️
We need a Dakota cam
I didn’t see the Sandra bullock similarities at first but now that you said it, I 100% see it! 😂😂
Love your vids it shines a new light/perspective on what truck drivers do.
Do not look at the screen and listen to her. She also sounds exactly like Sandra Bullock. If Sandra Bullock had a daughter...
OMG, you are right, Looks like her and sounds like her too
Pingdom I totally see it too!
Right! Not Sandra... Claire Danes
That's the first thing I noticed and why I kept watching.
CB handle should be *Shortstack* you have no issue getting up underneath the trailers to check kingpin locked in place lol
My Wife and I love Dakota's comments and insight really makes our day - laughing. Your video's are very professional and interesting, no matter the subject. I think a GoPro mounted on Dakota would be a great idea. I can see a lot of Merch, with Dakota's comments and sayings. Bad Hooman is one of our favorites. Our dog Maxi, sits up everytime Dakota comes on screen. She loves watching, since she is part German Shep/Lab mix.
I’m not a trucker, I just enjoy the content! It’s interesting to me to see how the USA moves are product around the country! Thanks for taking the time to make these V-logs!
Happiness by the Mile, stickers. I'd buy one. These would be good for truckers, van dwellers and other nomads who spend a lot of time on the road. It would also advertise your channel.
I THOUGHT U WHR SANDRA BULLOCK WHEN I FIRST CLICKD ON U. AND WE FORGET THE CAMERA MAN CAN MAKE A LIVING ON THE INTERNET THESE DAYS. ITS SUCH A NEW THING. I LOVE UR PUPPY.
"And from that day forward, if Shelby was going somewhere, SHE WAS RUNNING!"
With all the posers & thieves out there, copyright, trademark & register your likeness, logo & slogans!!! Keep what's yours, yours!!! Keep it up, you're killin' it! Hug Dakota for us! 🐕
This is so important!
Also, even if you don't want to use a specific social media platform, at least make an account on them all! Try and get them verified also. Otherwise people will create fakes.
A lot of the slogans she uses like "happiness by the mile" is common, can´t be trademarked.
Shout out to BKM for the great vids. I think he is very talented at this video thing. Thank you Shelby for the content you share. You share things from a driver's perspective. Stay safe out there and keep up the good work guys.
I own a Trucking Company in Atlanta,GA. This channel has been a breath of fresh air. I would love for young people to watch it, and see that the job can be cool, and fun. I appreciate you spending your time to put this together.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question! Looking forward to seeing more videos! Love your channel! Super inspiring, especially for all us woman! #GirlPower 💜
I literally just found your channel, and what drew me in is first of all seeing a woman as a truck driver but most importantly of all I enjoy seeing you love your job. Which motivates me to love my job too. And your dog is so cute!!! Keep doing you girl!!!
YES! Some of the best content comes from people, like Shelby, that just exude their joy & happiness. That's also what drew me in, after seeing that first video in my recommendations.
It's really cool that you're humble. I called it a month ago I said a hundred thousand soon. Sell the t-shirts hats and bumper stickers. Make some money. There is nothing at all wrong with that. Your monetized now. Sell some merchandise and enjoy your job keep doing what you're doing. Don't think so hard just let it happen. Have a designer come up with some designs, find someone to do the printing and list your merchandise on your website. I'm sure you can figure it all out. You seem pretty darn smart to me. GOOD LUCK !!! You got this.
Yall are doing an awesome job with your channel!! Don't ever feel pressured to share more than you're comfortable sharing! Yall are awesome, thank you both for the entertaining content.
I just love watching your videos! It gives me all the vibes and throw backs to being young and watching snowboard videos! Very cool to watch you do such a bad ass job!
Happiness by the mile, perfect CB handle
I am 5 foot 3 and drive a dump truck. I have always loved trucks too and now you have made me want my A!! Thank you lady!
I am retired truck driver now, ive meant a lot of nice ladies on the highway trained a few to, bless you on your dream
Truly a wonderful channel, happy I came across it. This is just the start, you guys are going to take off and it's much deserved. It's awesome to see someone that's actually working with a skill, not just someone trying to make CZcams videos of smashing things in order to become internet famous. You're an inspiration to many, even if you don't realize it. If i ever have daughters I want them to watch these videos to realize they can truly do anything. Keep up the great content.
Been going through a bunch of your vids and I'm impressed with your ability to be positive and your real world take on the job. I'm super impressed with BKs skills in editing and putting all your content into something so interesting. My nephew has an interest in film and I'll be sharing these with him.
It’s been amazing to watch your journey on here. Watching your videos remind me of parts of OTR that I miss. Keep up the amazing work both of you!!! God bless and stay safe out there.
I’m really in love with your personality and dedication! I know everything can get overwhelming with people asking so many things and such but just take a deep breath keep making content and take it one step at a time.
Great video!! I’m not a trucker but I enjoy your enthusiasm about what you do and to let us in on what goes on when you’re on the road. Be safe out there!!
Thank you Shelby & BKM for your efforts & willingness to share! Content & quality are wonderful.
Heckin’ cutest dog. This is all super valuable. Love what you’re doing!!
Your a joy to listen to. God bless you and my prayers are with you.
Shelby, you’re such a breath of fresh air. Love your videos! You’re a natural doing this. You’re great with people. I live 25 miles south east from Portland and I never get tired of seeing all the beauty Oregon has to offer. Be safe out here 🙂
Really enjoy your videos and your level headedness. Be safe out there during
these difficult times!!
This was so awesome. Thanks for doing this for us. Honestly, AMAZING work with already gaining nearly 100K subscribers in SUCH a small period of time. Absolutely mind-blowing. CZcams's going to literally match your trucking income in much less than a year's time at this rate, Shelby! 🤯
The way you lit up when answering the O/O ? shows you really love what you do. Good for you!
Thank you both! This is so needed for the trucking industry and general public.
As always another awesome video. I'm hooked on this channel. Love to watch Shelly keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for sharing about your friendship with BKM, the 2 of you make such a great match and then to hear you guys have been friends for a long time. it's a beautiful thing for 2 friends to be on an adventure like this together. You both add so much to this channel. His ways of shooting things and choosing the music with it has been such a joy to watch and then adding your information and passion makes it a perfect circle. Keep on trucking! ya'll rock
Loved watching this!!! I’m not a trucker, but came across your page a couple of weeks ago and am so obsessed!! Looking forward to your next video! Also love Dakota 💕 I have a GSD, Athena, they are amazing dogs!
Really great content the both of you are able to put together, and enjoy seeing some of the adventures you are going on across the country. Keep 'em rollin and stay safe out there!
You guys are great, beautiful footage, I like the nature shots, drone flights, the conversations with your dog, great music and editing....don't let it take over and rule your happiness and freedom.
Love it! You shed a whole new light to the trucking industry..
BKM, thank you for giving you’re time and work into putting these videos out here, for us to enjoy!!
As for a CB handle, HBM sounds pretty cool..
I learn everyday, haven’t stopped learning after 8 years of driving, and 31 years around trucks.. 2nd generation trucker.
Love your videos. You are so "down to earth ". Dakota is beautiful. The captions of what she is " thinking or saying " are so entertaining. Keep doing what you do as long as you enjoy it. I can't wait to hear about your future road trips and adventures. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for answering my question! Do what you love, we need truckers like you!
Hi Shelby, thank you for taking the time to answer viewers questions. I've really enjoyed watching your videos. You have such a great personality and you can see how much you love what you do. It's so great that you get to take Dakota along for the ride as your sidekick.
This young lady is funny,smart .I think her CB handle should be "short stuff"
Thats the best 30 minutes viewing I've spent in a long while !! Love your amazing lifestyle, stay safe Shelby !! XXXX
You are an inspiration! Be proud of the choices you've made.
I about to start my training in long haul and seeing you and the dog (I plan on bringing mine) seeing what you do and taking your experiences and tips (especially when it comes to dog potty breaks/exercise) is just a huge inspiration. Thank you for all these videos your video man and editor are amazing and I hope chuckles and Dakota meet up one day!
Shoutout to BKM, Keep up the great work guys!!!!!
Great Q & A. It’s “your” Business and the Majority of US Respect that Fact. Share what you feel comfortable with. We Appreciate both of you and ALL of your Efforts. Hello Dakota! 🐕 Thanks! 👍
Great job. Yours is my favorite v-log. I was a marketing exec before this adventure began a couple of years ago. Being an O/O offers the most control and the most risk. Love to help.
Your personality and attitude in your videos makes them shine and I believe that is what attracts people from all walks of life to your channel ! I'm proud of you and what you have done so keep up the good work !
I’m a new driver, and I’m so glad I’ve found your videos. They are great to watch. My favorite part is the captions for Dakota. You are so positive and happy! I struggle so much with being tired while driving, but I’m so glad I’m driving a truck!
Stay safe, and keep enjoying every mile
First of all, I love you! 💕 I am glad to see such a pretty woman being a trucker you don’t see it often! In My family we’re all truckers my dad brothers and in-laws! Thank you for your awesome videos ! 🤗
I was live on YT and one of my viewers tuned me into you answering the question I asked. I’m glad I went back & re-watched it in it’s entirety and can say I’m looking forward to seeing all the more of what’s to come of this for the both of you and love how you answered the questions. Also, Sandra bullock is a good pick; I see similarities, a trip planning video would be perfect. Also, I checked out the site you have some time ago; it’s very resourceful, a video for four wheelers...omg, we need that 😭. I wanted to add thanks for answering.
I appreciate what you are doing. Thank you and it is interesting. And yes, your camera guy does do an amazing job. Keep on trucking!
CB handle “short and sweet”
For me.... Cars not getting up to speed when entering a highway and cars not doing the speed limit. Not doing the speed limit causes all kinds of dangers for everyone.
That's a huge pet peeve of mine as well. Every day, I have to enter a major interstate near Chicago where the speed limit is 65mph and the flow of traffic is 70++mph. At LEAST half the time, there is some clueless person doing 45 or 50mph down the entire on-ramp and then obliviously merging in front of a car or worse, a truck, causing them to have to hit their brakes, often hard. It is SO DANGEROUS! As much as I want to ride up onto their bumper and push them faster, I always hang back a good distance because I know what's coming and don't want to be caught in it with them. I then have to floor it when I finally get to the merge-in. Those people should have their licenses revoked before they kill someone.
i couldn't agree more with you. especially on icy conditions, i honestly hate it. on dry or wet pavement with the company 10 speed truck, i can catch up to people who had a good lead on me. speed limit in alaska is anywhere between 55-65 on the highway
I chewed an X gf out about that. Canadian so using KMs. She started to get on the hwy at 60-65 KM/h and I just lost my mind. WTF are you doing. It is no one job to slow down to let you on. It is up to you to merge AT highway speeds. If it going 120 you better be doing 120 before crossing that line to get on.
Also cars that dont know what YIELD means and assume you will move for them to enter. Many times you CAN'T
@@oceanecastelnau9821 fair is fair! I understand sometimes you can't move over to let cars enter the freeway.
It's the assholes that WON'T move over, even when left lane is open, because they don't have to move over.
Your personality and BKMs skills complement each other. Very well put together channel! Your subscriber numbers in such a short amount of time tell that. As a 6 year truck driver it's nice to see a positive outlook on trucking. It's easy to lose that perspective dealing with the negative things we deal with on the road. Watching your videos reminds me of why I started trucking in the first place and reminds me that sometimes I just need to stop, take a breather, and look at the beauty around me on a day to day basis. Thank you for sharing and safe travels!
Thank you for taking the time with the Q&A, your a fascinating person!
Keep being true to yourself.... your authenticity is the key to your success!! Awesome content!
Shelby, keep the good work you do in your trucking life, your vids are very enjoyable!! ✨
Dakota sure is a must on your stories.👏
Keep driving and cheers from 🇨🇱 ( Chile, not Texas)
Great to see both of you pursuing your passions. Great content and excellent cuts. Look forward to the next Vid. Happiness by the Mile, yes your Channel will grow. Good luck w/ it.
Hi Shelby👋 Thank you for explaining to us about “The Camera Guy” roll👍😋 He does great work!! Take care and be safe out there😊
I’m so proud of you!🥳 I’m planning to get my CDL early-mid 2021 so I can have an interesting career, make decent $, & to fund my dreams & ambitions. You’re inspiring!🙏🏾
Absolutely love the "Dakota Speak". It is hilarious! I have a lab myself and I imagine he talks like that too.
It's been incredible to see your channel grow so fast! I just saw it under my recommended videos and was instantly hooked! You are a breath of fresh air. Cute merch would be a keychain with Happiness By The Mile on it! I'd get one.
This was nice to watch . You’re doing amazing . My dad was a truck driver i always went with him on his work . Did it for a couple of years but now i just drive a wrecker
Your private life is exactly that - YOUR private life. You are wise beyond your years to know the importance of protecting it. Big kudos to you and to BKM for doing such a wonderful job. Your channel might be new, and you might not have all the answers yet as to where you want it to go, but what you're doing is not just captivating to watch, it's a public service in multiple ways. Thank you for both of your efforts!
Another shout out to BKM for the high production value! Better quality videography and editing than some channels with even 1M subs. Love how the graphics and popups in the videos are always on point too! I guess now it makes sense if y'all are best friends, what would've been a little weird is if you just found some random person to be on long trips with lol
You are so genuine and authentic. You absolutely are a success story. I am so proud of you and you will be great at whatever you tackle. You're an inspiration to so many people
Thank you so much. I love this channel. It has been very inspiring for me. I went to a tech school to get my class A. As a 35 year old it was one of my proudest accomplishments (took two tries, but I did it). Take care and be safe. Laura
I like your videos. I think BKM does amazing videos on your travels. In my spare time I watch a lot of different video topics in which traveling is filmed. Your guy is the best in making it interesting. From the different shots from the drone and lighting to music background is second to none. I am a retired law enforcement officer and his filming of the trailer fire was spectacular. Hopefully nobody was hurt in that fire but his capturing that scene and the lighting and color was great. Keep up the good work. It’s very obvious you like what you do.
YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME !!!! STAY SAFE HUGE FAN
What amazing young lady you are..Thank you for bringing class to trucking..Yes trying to learn a segment before you sleep is a great way to remember..Have a blessed day..
This is fascinating! To see a channel like this get big so fast is really cool, and to get to see it from the start. I did this job for a few years. This makes me miss it now. Anyways she/they have a good thing going here. That name Happiness By The Mile is perfect too.
Wow I'm early 😂 excited 😁 when you had no intention of learning about trucks until this channel pops up😂
i just wanted to say that the time lapse he did on dakota drinking water was amazing.
I think the reason for your abundant success is just you. You are a refreshing person doing an interesting job with a great dog.
Its really nice to have you answer some of the questions so we can get to know more about what you do and why, etc. It is really interesting.
Love your videos Shelby! Not sure who does your video editing but keep it up they are killing it! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story Shelby!
This is one of my favorite channels! Y'all are awesome! I think merch when you are ready would be cool! I'd definitely buy some :) Keep up the great work!
Loved every single vids you've made. And as day goes by, you make me love it even more. Keep up the good work please. And yes, they're right, youre the cutest trucker ou there!
Hi Shelby, hi Dakota!!! We love your videos!! I am a tiny person too with a big personality lol!! We love the Dakota cameos and her messages they are sooo funny!! Thank you for sharing please stay safe!! Love from Chicago ♥️🥰
Hey M's Shelby, you are doing an awesome job on your CZcams channel and your codriver is beautiful. Keep up the great work and be safe out there.
YESSSS! The trucks all lit up, looks super cool, and hearing the downshift. jake brake thingy
It’s your honesty and sincerity, the scenery and quality video production that keeps me coming back. I believe too that all viewers want to see you do well. Take care. Discovery or Travel channel should create a show. Best of luck.
I like seeing the different landscapes. Never really considered watching a trucker channel but between you and Angelica Larsson (Sweden) I've actually wound up watching two. Since most of my travel has been by air I really appreciate seeing a ground view of the different parts of both countries. It makes me want to take some long drives myself now that I have the time.
I was wondering how you managed to get a personal cameraman at the start. Thanks for answering that. It looks so professional I was thinking it was more of a corp backer. I have no idea how you managed to get CZcams to widely recommend your channel with only a few videos, but if you can figure it out you should bottle it and sell it.
How could anyone watching this beautiful woman's channel not fall in love with her. She's so genuine. Love your vlogs!! Thank you!!
Be safe out there , especially with the current health situation. That’s a beautiful dog!
Shelby love your videos your amazing and talented for how new you are to youtube keep up the awesome work love from Indiana
1. You're amazing! I originally clicked on one of your videos because I was curious but since then I've been hooked. I have no connections with trucks or truck drivers but I still learn from your videos. I'm also going into a male-dominated career and to see another woman do the same thing, it offered a sense of community for me. After watching this video and hearing your story, it sounded almost exactly like mine! My career is not anything similar to what any of my family has done, I've always thought it was the coolest thing but never thought I could/would actually do it, and I also found it by taking a "gap year".
2. Your camera guy is fantastic! My best friend also has a passion for videography so that part I do know a thing or two about. He loves to share his creations with me so I can give him my feedback, by doing this, I've learned what to look for. Before, I used to think he was crazy for making such a big deal out of such a little change to the video. Anyway, I noticed from the very beginning what an incredible product was being created on this channel!
Keep up the good work!
You always have room to make mistakes and grow! We dont expect you to know everything you want to do right of the bat. Enjoy your time on youtube! 🥰
Shelby you strike me as a very honest person trying to bring others along on the ride. I love dogs and have always wanted to know more about trucking. Situational awareness and your dog are a great protection. As a young, pretty, and honest person do not be surprised that many people will want to "know" you. Thanks for sharing your Q & A. Safe travels. As for your handle try "HTM".
It’s pretty obvious why your channel has grown so quickly. 1. You are young and very attractive. 2. You have a great personality. You are very genuine as well. 3. The vibe you give off of innocence. 😍 🥰 😎
Shelby & BKM you're killing it! I love the work you are doing. You have a great partnership. Friends support each other and lift each other up. It shows through in the videos.
I just hope BKM is not black. She wayyy to pretty and educated to let some black guy come in and mess it all up for her.
Yes Merch pls!! Love ur videos (great job camera guy). I would totally wear ur slogan. I’m out here on the road as well running flatbed. Stay safe driver!
