- MY TRUCK HAS PROBLEMS AGAIN | Day 10 of 10 | Filming everyday until 2023!
I have decided to film every single day until the beginning of 2023. That means 10 days of consistent video posting. I am nervous about this commitment but I feel like there is so much I want to get out and done by the end of this year so we can start the new year right. Here is to the beginning of this race! Day 10 of 10. Let's go!

When I think of constructive anarchy which is potentially an oxymoron this woman never ceases to amaze me with her humanity & down to earth personality. You've heard of the everyday man?
We got the everyday woman right here!
Extraordinary woman
Anti Gel, diesel 911, spare fuel filter, air brake antifreeze, extra set of wiper blades, windshield deicer
Lock de-icer, cheap tarp to crawl under truck on, cheap kitty litter, 72 hour survival kit, truck fluids, hose clamps, fuses, basic tool set, wheel chock to slide tandems.
This is awesome. Now I have something to look forward to. Also keeps me occupied when it's-5 degrees Fahrenheit in Texas! As for a list: coolant, chains, kitty litter, flares (normal or electric), high visibility hat and jacket, warm gloves, food and water, windshield washer fluid (can help melt snow/ice on windshield, mirrors, lights, etc.) Ice scraper, extra fluids (brake, oil, trans, power steering), snow boots, hand warmers, and tow straps.
I can't thank you enough for helping with the list :) I'm so excited to put this together!
You are an amazing combination if nervous funny and confidence from doing and being intrepid just know Shelby that you are admired by many thousands of us you make us laugh giggle learn and feel we woof you.
I love your vlogs Shelby. They’re àlways entertaining as heck.😊❤
MERRY CHRISTMAS!.
Thanks for awesome content throughout 2022.
Cheers
Same to you!
I over stock my truck with items to prepare me for any situation. But definitely want winter washer fluid, spare set of quality wiper blades, airline antifreeze, quality chains specific to your tire size, extended life coolant, snow broom, spider bungees, fuel treatment (warmer climate states don’t treat their fuel like the colder climate states.. so if you’re running from let’s say Texas and heading north, you probably want to make sure you have a fuel treatment of your choice to help prevent freezing diesel), also having diesel 911 is safe insurance, extra blankets to stay warm.. with diesel prices being high, you definitely don’t want to run your truck constantly.. plus, running your truck constantly just puts unnecessary wear and tear on the truck that will be problematic later in its life.. can never go wrong with having some assortment sizes of hose clamps and fuses just in case, I carry a propane blow torch to help unfreeze my airline connectors since I have quick connect set up and not your typical glade hands airline setup.. so they are more prone to freeze and not unlatching if any type to water gets inside the connectors, now there’s lots of other items you could carry as well, but I’m just looking at winter specific items that are necessities and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Merry Christmas 🎄 Shelby and Dakota
I do keep a LG bag of kitty litter pellets not sand ... jump cables.. deicer... ice scraper with handle extender... plenty of anti gel... a couple of 911.... plenty washer fluid... water... food.... plenty of blankets and warm cloths... emergency candles- I used them 1 time to help keep me warm till help arrived- apu went out and truck would not crank/long storie- good to have to help! Lol! Couple gallons antifreeze.... good toolbox with nessisary tools.... chains legal for all states.... ow and most important... CHOCOLATE! JUST SAYIN! BE SAFE DRIVERS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 ❤
Thank you! I will add onto the growing list!
Hey Shelby (and Dakota ofcourse)
in my truck I always have some low empty tubs and 3 bags/boxes of clumping catlitter .... useful for containing every spillage .... then spare truck/trailer leads and 2 spares of each airline hands + their rubber rings .... minimum 2 containers of engine oil, 1 break fluid, 3 bottles of -60'C anti-freeze .... clean dry fleece/woolen clothes (I mostly drive in Northern Scandinavia) also why I have heated fuel and break lines, also my oil pan is heated, so no liquid can freeze up
Also water & MRE's (military Meals Ready to Eat) for 60 days, because once (due to a snow avalange on a Fjord road in Norway) I got stuck for 36 days and barely survived
Greetings from Northern Europe
Great video Shelby
Love the determination now inside a 10 day countdown. Go!

Thnx for the great videos in 2022, and have a nice Christmas (if you are not working that is) for the list? just remember what broke down in the last couple of years and get spares for that, filters rubber hoses and all that.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and Dakota stay safe
Those bottom power steering clamps always loosen up. Just needs a new clamp. The red our and hose rarely go bad.
Merry Christmas, Shelby. Give Dakota a great big hecking hug from me and my big ole 100# mixed breed mutt. Be safe out there.

Merry Christmas God Bless
♥️
So I missed your Livestream again but will watch it now, Happy Holidays!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
Things for the Truck: Shovel, Sand, Chains, Windshield washer fluid for below freezing, Power Steering Fluid, Anti-freeze, Snow Grip (this is a spray can there are a few different versions with different names it is a substance you can put on your tires to help with grip in the snow but you can also spray it on your shoes or boots for traction on the ice. Speaking of boots last winter you said you needed to get a new pair of boots I do not remember the brand but did you get the boots?
That is all I can think of hope it reminds you of something you forgot. 🤗
Merry christmas to you ❤️🌲☃️ Love you from Sri Lanka❤️🎉️
Save the next wrecker operator a headache and pull those tow hooks out from under the hood and place them where they can be easily found in your tool box. That bolt can be a real PITA especially if you're on the side of a mountain in bad weather.
Dont buy Legrand only Leviton and you won't have a problem. In Ontario Canada we have to install tamper proof in residential work.
I’d say the first thing you need is a second vehicle. 😀💕
I've just started series 3 of Emily in Paris - I lived there for 7 years so its lovely seeing all my old haunts :-) admittedly without the chic clothes lol
Merry Christmas Shelby and Dakota you look great don't forget the bananas Rick from Kutztown Pa
Love your video, I think the most important thing in your list is me , you have to get with you 😉
One love 😍😘🇵🇪
Considering my truck literally just froze up a few hours ago I can tell you what I wish I had and did have. Chains fuel treatment for both preventing it from freezing and after it does freeze. Extra fuel filters. A battery jump box. Starting fluid. Something to keep your drinks from freezing because all of my water froze solid within 45 minutes of my truck dying. Chargers for your phone. A spare phone incase yours quits working in the cold again like mine did. Ice scraper a hand held torch a flashlight a hammer pliers screw driver. Filter wrench. Kitty litter. Hand warmers. Something to protect your face and eyes from the snow. Plenty of clothes that you can layer up with.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this list. I am so sorry about the current situation you are in!
@@ShelbyHBTM you're welcome. I had everything I needed for the situation but because it was -45 it didn't help the truck at all
@@nathanatkisson312 oh my gosh that is crazy!
@@ShelbyHBTM 11 years otr I've never had a truck freeze until today
UTAH?
Utah nice state , I would say my favourite state in the US .
I did crossed it many times and always with success , the best Walmarts in US in Utah the worst in Michigan ...
Washing the truck is important in the winter, although it seems like a poor use of time, because you need to get the salt and other stuff off the truck. Extra blankets are not a bad idea. Do you have an APU of some kind to minimize the idling? Old engines did ok with idling for heat or A/C, but I am told that the newer engines get messed up by it due to the emission gear.
Every once in a while, I think about trucking again after I retire. I'm old and set in my ways (I was grandfathered on my CDL, which is probably older than you 🤪 ) and probably would be driven crazy by a trainer. I'm also a dog person like you, and that would present a problem with a trainer.
I'm sure my dog would love to meet Dakota, he's fascinated with other dogs. If you ever have the misfortune to go to Seattle, I'm east of it over the pass.
Stay warm where have you at it's cold
The tank of oil the power steering wheel always sweed on all Cascadias
Trucking in winter
* Extra winter clothes
* Snow boots
* Tire chains
* Duct tape
* Empty gas can
* Tow strap
* Fire extinguisher
* Road flare
* Snow brush
* Traction mats
* Toolkit
* Matches
* Non- perishable snacks
* Reflective triangles
* Cell phone charger
* Blanket
* Water
* Jumper cables
* Ice scraper
* First aid kit
* Snow shovel
* Bag of cat litter or sand or road salt
* Flashlight
I know it seems ironic about the cat litter but it’s good for clean up and traction.
Ich wünsche euch frohe weinachten
❤❤❤❤
I wonder if I saw you on the I90 in Montana heading the opposite way from me a few weeks ago right after turkeyday. I saw a big ol' puppers and somebody bundled up who looked like you. If it was you, yay! If not, then hi to whomever it was!
Not me this time 😁
Haven't seen anyone post about toe warmers or insulated rubber boots! Those are the bee's knees
What I do is I hit Walmart for everything I need for the truck they have all you will need cheaper then the truck stops!!!
The VLOGS are way better that the overly produced stuff 👍
Shelby don't you wanna be in Florida rightnow? We are getting our first blizzard in Michigan rightnow. I need sunshine or I get seriously down. Like not get out of bed down. I have 3 german Shepherds now and I can't stand all the doghair and the 2 that I just rescued are so needy! I'm glad you are dedicated. Merry Christmas 🤶 yeah inflation is hurting me too. I sold my vehicle 6 months ago and I'm glad I did. I get my groceries delivered and it's great. I'm a recluse now 😂
Florida sounds nice, but I love the snow 😅 it's an unfortunate trade off
Panther Logistics?
Medina, Ohio?
What happened to FedEx, Portland?
!
Least you get to take your truck home
Will you ever start your own authority? Would you pull any other trailers like Tankers, Flatbeds, Step decks, Reefers, End Dumps, Car haulers, or do Heavy Haul?
Not sure. Always a possibility
That's a terrible place for them to store the tow hooks.
Tamper resistant ones are stupid!
No list its all good! All I know is if everyone had a friend like you the world would be a better place. Tho you must like to punish yourself making videos everyday we will be just Happy to see you post even if its not everyday. The smile and things you do are infectious. I bet you talk to yourself like I do. Welcome back and may we all have a great Holiday season.
Have you heard of Mutha Trucker? He does PSAs and keeps yhe public informed about what's going on in the trucking industry. As an idea for something to do, look him up. Make an appearance, this year in review or something. 😁
You are very funny and beautiful🤗
Did I miss the change from fedex cc to panther?
Do you need help with filming😃? I like your vibe!💪🔥⛄
I've got it. Thank you though :)
@@ShelbyHBTM you welcome 😃🎄
👍👍👍🇦🇺❤️
So is the live stream going to pop up here on your channel??
In 3 minutes
Hey Shelby, can you answer this please. Whats your mindset regarding being a truck driver as a female. I mean i am a truck driver as well in canada. I feel like there are so many different issues that females face as compared to men in trucking. So what keeps you motivated with this job ? Please share! 🙏🏻 much needed! Thanks gk!
I will talk about this in a live stream this week.
If you allow me, I would like to know how many hours you sleep a day because you do a lot of things.
technical question for you:
in an automatic, why am I stalling while downshifting
it doesn't happen with a 13 speed...
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A BUSNIESS PARTNER THAT YOU REALLY TRUST TO HELP RUN THE BUSNIESS WHILE YOU FOCUS ON YOUR HOUSE
Hello Shelby
My name is Bill, wife Lisa, company name: GSD Logistic LLC, Gloster MS, and yes, its German Shepard Dog lol. I have 32 years in trucking and im amazed by your success in your young years. We would love to share notes with you to help each other make decisions like you mentioned. If interested, i need to know how to contact. Bye for now!
You need to get water
Always keep a fat man on the truck with you in case of a breakdown so you can keep warm.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No offence, but doesn't Shelby remind you of a hummingbird? The one that flies back and forth super fast and always flutters its wings? I got up today at 5 o'clock, super tired and sluggish and at breakfast I saw this video and after my brain adjusted to Shelby's speed, I was almost as hectic!😊
😂
Wait.....did I miss something? You're with Panther now? When did this happen?
i am seroius Selby
Live isn't showing up 10pm MT..Instagram is better
You’re so beautiful.
Antifreeze will kill a dog drinking it. A friend a mine lost his dog this way unfortunately.
That's horrible I am so sorry for their loss. That is why I put her away immediately
