💞Thanks for watching!! We are happy to have you along with us, discovering the Roads of America and learning about trucking!!🚚🚚🚚
Yellow supports are safety stands, used in case dollys collapse and to support front of trailer while loading
Problems with new tablet, who could have imagined that 😅🤣
Thank you for all the awesome videos you two. I trucked 30 years ago cross country and wow a lot has changed with technology. I had no gps,just a suitcase full of road and street maps. No cellphone, no eld and never had to worry about running out of hours.. Keep the videos coming. I watch everyone of them. God bless and be safe out there.
Wow! We love it when experienced drivers enjoy our videos and shenanigans!! We are honored! And…hats off to you!!!! So many things sooooo much easier with modern technology. We are grateful!
It’s awesome watching your video’s. You both are a huge asset to our Crete family. Tonja is an excellent co-pilot. Those tight spaces /curbs always somewhat of a challenge. YOU DID IT.
Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words!
Still remembering the trucking life through your videos. Miss the long hauls but not the NE loads. Jersey barriers at the customer, love it!
Their grass is all torn up because they make the drivers slide the tandems at the shack. But if they didn't, about 1/2 the drivers wouldn't slide them back.
Kevin and Tanya, what you saw on the roof of that building were roofers the caution tape and cones let workers know where edge of roof is.
Yes. Thank you. We did realize that. We were just joking around. 😉
My partner and I are in the process of training right now for CDL-A. We are outside of Seward Ne right up the road from CRETE! When we grow up (after 1st year,) we would love to be with CRETE. We have so enjoyed your videos. Hands down agreed what a SUPER ASSET you and Tanya are! Kevin. We wanted to give you a holler and a big hello as you did your route thru our parts of Grand Island late this past summer early week of Fall! Moved up here as transplants from KCMO and your are right as always.. fly season drives us insane AND the open skies are beautiful! Keep up the great work you 2 do and TY for all of your knowledge and inspiration!!!🎉
When your pick g up a load, An doing a PTI. , if there's a seal in the trailer door (R) side .
Write the seal number on the note pad
Well I wish you could teach me how to back a trailer up like that!
Another cool video. keep on trucking
Very nice employee at the entrance gate with a pleasant personality, and easy directions to drop your trailer.Thanks again.😊😊❤❤.
She was great! Yes!
Always find that after watching your videos for a while I feel calmer, then I’m ready to back out on the road again. Thank you for the gorgeous scenery you share with us and stay away from north joisy and The Big City. I love you back in the Rockies or up in Maine. Tanja, you do a wonderful job of shooting and editing your work . Are you self taught? You do really well. Stay safe and know we all love you two💕.
Nice Video
Hello guys. I really enjoy your videos. Tonya, you are a very good narrator. I hope I spelled it correctly. Drive safely my friends. God bless you both.
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Hi Kevin and your co pilot I Love all your videos

👍
❤u2 channel,,greatest channel on earth 🇺🇸 🌎 n world... always watch.. u2 keep posting, greatest videos, on youtube..
Thanks 👍 We appreciate your enthusiasm!!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I love it. Keep on trucking!
Thanks, will do! 😃🤩
Kno what I would snack on when was on the road Apple slices and peanut butter apple slices and salt the salt makes so sweet guy have a safe trip and see you in your next adventure
I am so enjoying your videos it a nice way to see you both❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks June!!! It’s not live, but it’s the next best thing. 😉Happy to have you along!
Always slid my tandems when I opened the trailer doors. Sometimes security would complain but it's easy shutting them down, just ask how much driving experience driving they have. Then tell them to leave the driving to the professionals.
😳😳😳😁
have a good and safe trip to georgia, i’m here myself. i’m enjoying my unexpected hotel stay while my truck is in the shop!
Oh no! Hope it’s a nice hotel and that your truck is fixed soon!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking it’s next to a steakhouse and a movie theater, I think this is great! Lol
@@chasedooley6237 👍👍👍
That Blue Beacon has had that scale since it opened. Better to use it, pull on scale, get weighed, pay, never leave seat of the truck
Hello
Hello
Tsk, tsk. "Please obey 10 MPH limit" (or something like that). Kevin running 14-15 in the yard.🤔
Were you near an airport at pick up ? Airports used to mess with the older systems and GPS systems. Like the channel... Thank you for sharing the saga or trek.
🤔🤔🤔🤩👋👋👋🥰
Did Kevin rember to check his tandem pins?
They were reroofing the roof and that was a caution flag line on the cones, OSHA requirement.
Yes. Thank you. We were just goofing around.
Google Baker's candy in Greenwood, Nebraska.
Some of the best chocolate you will find it's East of Lincoln if yout coming from the east get off at Gretna and take highway 6 towards Lincoln it well be on your left on the West edge of town be safe🎉❤
Hey Kevin and tyana
👋👋👋
So love riding with you. Thanks so much for the company.
Our pleasure! Thank YOU!!!
I think Keven should have chocolate covered oranges
Yes!!!
You got it out in front of the camera
🤔
That place is not bad. They have a scale and the guards are nice. I am sorry that you have to go to the deep and dirty south with way too much traffic where they are mostly rude and hateful. Just be careful merging on Interstate 83 if going north with that heavy 💩. You are going south though. Sorry.
Great bug and beetle information. Kevin should do a chocolate combo with beetles. Lol. I wonder if Moneyball is one of Kevin's favorite films? Because Brad Pitt is constantly eating in it.
😳😳😳😆😆😆
Do you make lunch on the truck ,or do you buy your meals ?
You are only allowed to wash the truck, on the company, once every 45 days? I think we were once every 30, and I couldn’t stand that. (My fathers’ influence). I would spend out of my pocket if it wasn’t 30 days yet. I couldn’t stand a dirty vehicle.
I drove for a O/O attached to a mega-carrier. He was happy to get a guy who could drive a manual and took care of his truck.
We would meet from time to time at a shipper. He always smiled when he saw his original truck, and I was taking care of it.
If it hadn’t been for the fleet manager/dispatcher, I’d probably still be working for him.
It’s nice to have a clean and beautiful looking truck. That’s a fact! Bet the guy was definitely very happy with you!
We saw the original weight distribution at the scale but we didn't see the 2nd scale readings that Kevin got after adjusting the tandems. I would like to have seen the steer axle weight after the adjustment.
Did he slide one hole or two? Was the fuel tanks full when he scaled?
@@deanbarboza Only "the shadow knows".
Didn’t rescale this time. Sorry we didn’t satisfy your curiosity.
Don’t remember. Sorry.
👍🏻🏴
Probably going to weigh 39700
😁😁😁
I think Chocolate 🍫 releases the same Hormones that your body releases when you feel happy .. so chocolate physically makes you feel better 😂 that’s why so many people love chocolate ❤ I looked it up to make sure .. it releases an Amino acid that helps your brain make Serotonin .. that’s what’s releasing in your body when you’re happy 😂
You twice walked between the trailer & building
with the tractor tuning & no wheel chocks in use ?
You are right. It did have parking brake engaged. But would be even safer not to do it at all. Appreciate your concern and awareness building comment!
P&G are heavy most of the time
Whats the purpose of sliding the tandem at some pick-ups and drop offs?...enjoy your videos...👍
Stability. If not slid back, the forklift will cause the trailer to bounce a lot more.
@@bigjohnnelson2613 i get it. Thanks for your response....🙂
Just a thought for a future video, can you explain how you adjust tandems? It seems to best distribute weight but as a non-trucker, I was just curious.
It moves the center of gravity on the trailer, thus putting more weight on the rear tandem trailer axel or more weight on the tractor drive axel.
@@Christopher-mx4je I somewhat get the concept, just would like to see the mechanical execution
And the reason they have you slide the tandems to the rear is so that when loading, there is no 'up and down' when the fork lift goes in and out of the trailer. These trailers have airs suspension and when the axle is slid forward, there is quite the overhang behind them, hence the bouncing.
Is the the P&G in Pennsylvania?
Looks like Pontoon Beach,Illinois. Not far from St Louis.
The company name is actually spelled Procter and Gamble not Proctor and Gamble
Thanks for pointing out my bad spelling! I’ve corrected it.
You know what the last thing that went through that bugs mind when he hit the windshield? ………………….. his butt
😆😆😆😳
When you slide the back wheels how do you get in the spot you want them to be at?😊
good question , if its a super tight place u might have to slide em back to front to get in spot then slide to back again, ive done that a time or 2
I’ve done that a time or two also. One time a trailer jockey stopped and watched what I was doing. After I slide the tandems back and bumped the dock, he gave me a thumbs up and continued about his way.
ALways use a white-out marker to mark the hole you originally started at before sliding tandems or 5th wheel.
@@SirAlford or just call however many holes from the front and remember that number for example yesterday I had a load that was three holes back when I weighed it I was 460 over on the tandems so I knew to slide it two more holes so three and two is five so that means I needed it to be on the fifth hole I got 20 years education I went to 10th grade twice
I use sidewalk chalk, it's cheap. I mark where I started and where I want my pins.
First
Proctor and Crap....
Do you shut your tablet down every day for about a minute I have a apple tablet and if I don’t turn it off every day it will act up
Have a little trivia what do you think Georgia is the peach or is South Carolina let me know if you can
Lol! We actually had a survey about that on our Community Page a while back. Georgia is officially The Peach Sate. But SC also had a lot of votes for ‘best peaches.’ 🍑🏆
Are y'all still using people net? Our company just switched to samsara. Great for office..not so much for drivers
