- I COULDN'T FIND THE SHIPPER | 4 Days Left | Filming everyday until 2023!
I had to go out and get to trucking again before the new year rolls around. I am super pumped and nervous and have a million feelings all at once. I have so much on my plate, but the road is calling so I am going to have to try to figure it all out while I haul OTR. Thank you for sticking with me. I am continuing to vlog every day still and I just had a bit of a hick up in having time to edit and post. So here is the long awaited vlog for day 4 and 5. Day 3 is in the works currently. We've got this! Not too long left.

Get yourself a gas station type window squeegee; the all plastic kind. That, and a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of regular dawn dish soap mixed in. No paper towels needed and spotless glass with very little effort. Works like a charm even with heavy salt buildup. Store the spray bottle inside with your other cleaning stuff and keep the squeegee in your side box. 👍😎👍
Way better than paper towels
that or BELOW ZERO window-washer in the spray bottle if in the thick of winter.
I ditched glass cleaner a long time ago for this method. Old t-shirt rags/shop towels for tidying up the edges after squeegee-ing, or use for any other messes, and throw the load of dirty ones in the washer to re-use. Saves money in the long term.
Hello Shelby for a dying man everytime I watch your videos a always puts a smile on my face thank you.
Glad to see you back sure missed you and Dakota. Hope to see more of your travels.
You are one hard working lady. Amazes me that you can video so much while trying to get job done.
Be safe and never panic as you know. Find safe place to park and either Google place you're looking for, if GPS doesn't get you there, or if number and can actually get somebody that can help you get directions is another option. You've been driving long enough you know this. Hope helped some! 😉
Yes I have backed into buildings before in Chicago and St. Louis picking up meat in the box , and it’s some times hard to do thanks happy new year 🎆🎈🎊 good job thanks BigAl California
Is one of the most aggravating parts of this job, loosing time looking around for the correct building around the right address. cold and rainy, then road conditions slowed you down, I could see it, not fun. Glad you made it safe and a drop and hook 👍 You need a squeegee, I'm short too, 5'0" 😁 I need all the help I can get cleaning those windows efficiently, before freezing
Well, take care, looking forward to your next post while you're keeping the 2023 countdown going!! 🥰
You have to love going in the Freeport Center. I work out of a yard in Freeport West. I avoid the main Freeport like the plague. With all the trailers sticking out in the roadway and the railroad tracks crushing your spine, that place is a nightmare.😩
I used a few different things while driving, I hate not being able to see well..
But I found what I think is the best EVER..
I bought the tool set for window tinting and the little squeegee that comes with it, it’s the best yet, but you gotta make sure that you get the one that looks like the bigger squeegees at the gas stations… The best part is for my mirrors, it fits perfectly for them, one swipe down and clean as can be.. I even do my driver side mirror while driving, it’s that quick and easy..
Stay safe and love your videos..
There's nothing I hate more in life than being lost/not knowing where I'm going so props to you and all truckers that have to deal with looking for the place you're going to! Also, I still dream of the day where we can buy Bright Mountain merch, love both the hat and the hoodie ☺Oh and for the glass, glass cleaner is the best but never tried any of that canned stuff so I can't say but the regular cleaner does a pretty good job!
Now I'm retired but it's nice to remember when I traveled for two or three weeks I prepared all the things just like you.
First, please be safe on your travels. Try using newspaper instead of paper towels. Like I always tell my friends, Shelby, I am proud of you. Happy New Year, and I am looking forward to seeing how 2023 treats you! Give Dakota some love for me.
I love your videos thank you for all the hard work you put into them I also Drive a big rig so this is great be safe much love to you and your puppy
Use coffee filters instead of paper towels to get rid of streaks
Use vinegar, it helps cut through the road salt, I use 50-50 water vinegar, the windex with vinegar also works kinda
Great editing , tunes and content. Thanks
I'm driving truck vicariously through you while my license is suspended. I hope you don't mind lol. OMG I can't wait four more years to apply for reinstatement.
If you don’t mind me asking….what happened? I have a similar issue.
I’m in the process of working towards my CDL and it’s really inspiring to watch you and Niesha K do your thing on the road. It’s really awesome to witness. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with your viewers. You’re so cool! 😊
Hey Ms. Kim found your comment&I love your profile pic. Jus keepin' classy with no cleavage or spandex booty pics. I am ⚒ working on the road&I yravel by Greyhound&Amtrak train 🚉. After watching Ms. Shelby&learning about a career as a truck driver. What made u sign up 4 CDL training??? Hope 3 hear from U ASAP!!!!!
Great video Shelby and Dakota
Good to see you, Shelby. And my sweetie Kota. She has such a big personality. Be safe.
Thanks for sharing dear, please be careful and stay safe out there
Safe travels trucking Shelby and Dakota
I believe your doggy is anxious because you are anxious. They can pick up on your emotions very well
Keep on trucking sweetness❤
If you have overnight headaches. It might actually be a migraine, ive found the pedialyte does wonders, i always keep one in the fridge for those kind of days
Watching Shelby 🥰
Nice to see you .. get some rest!!
Water and a small squeegee is all I use on windows and mirrors. You're a hard worker Ms. Shelby, take care of yourself girl. God Bless
You give off strong Sandra Bullock vibes. Good luck on the road. I’m glad I don’t have to drive all over the place to find deliveries anymore
Another great video thank you for taking time out of your already busy day to take us on all of the wonderful trips be safe love the pup Kota she is so fun to watch
I used to hate getting lost looking for the shipper or receiver. For me it was the worse feeling I could have. GPS now makes it so much more easier. A lot of the pressure is off of you. Never fails it’s raining when you have to get out of the truck and you can’t get close enough so you get drenched, being 40 degrees doesn’t help either. I would imagine it really helps having your puppy with you. Thanks for the video, have a great and a safe day, happy trails and happy motoring, Happy New Year
Dakota anxious and in your seat? She knows that you are not feeling good and she is protecting you. Glass cleaner, find an Amway dealer, or maybe on the internet, look for See Spray. Their version of glass cleaner. It's amazing and your glass will not fog up afterwards even in the shower if you had a mirror nearby it doesn't fog. Big hug for Dakota. Looking great, those dang warehouses look confusing because they all look the same. They need to put numbers on them. LOL
100% agree about the brand of glass cleaner. It was great when I used it 40yrs ago, didnt know it was still being produced. Stay safe on your journeys.
Just watching her videos makes wanna do OTR
Caffeine is great for headaches! Coffee is good and so is a pop and lots of water. Hope it helps the next time you have one! Also, use newspaper when cleaning your windows. Regular windex and wipe them clean with newspaper!
You and Dakota are the Coolest of cool in trucking (Shelby we feel for your troubles in finding addresses)...my beautiful best friends ,MY German Shepherd Alisey...and Black labs MARY USE TO ALWAYS LIKE SITTING BETWEEN MY BACK AND MY TRUCK SEAT TOO....I liked it when Mary and Alisey did it too.....fun memories 😀❤😊Shelby you are sooooo lucky to have a good loyal best friend "**Dakota ""***
Happy to see you and your epic living!
Thanks for not telling us to " like & subscribe-blah blah blah." Such a mindless thing to say these days. I like the show. Good music, shot and edited well. You show what it is like to be you, staying connected to the world (via the internet) through your solitary moments, creating these videos, making art of your life. I like the show, it's simple and tasteful. 😎 You seem real, earnest, and capable. It's inspiring to see.
Nice video, your choice of music is great👍
I am sitting at a consignee in north carolina..been in the dock now 6 hours and counting..thankfully I live in my truck so I'm prepared..I hope you feel better soon
❄️🎉 Happy New Year 2023🌻 🎊🎈Young Beautiful Lady 🌹🎼🪅🎇 Best Wishes and Be Safe 🕊️🍀 from Susie 🌺 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA 🇺🇲🎼☮️⛄
On convention and music tour loads❤
The beauty of Utah's open spaces, the pleasant speeds, the low number of cars on the road, it's worth it before it turns into some kind of Jersey City .
"All my socks I have left... Halloween socks... need to buy more" reminded me of.... 😄 One way I know I need to buy more clothes (like socks & underwear) is: I can pick up and hold the ENTIRE load of dirty laundry with ONE hand, and the only other thing I have left is the ones I'm wearing. 😛
Streaks on the window are cause the sun was on this window so dried it up before you would wipe it down
it can't all be rainbows n teddybears well done getting a video out under this
pressure Shelby 🤗🥰
If my windows are that dirty I spray it down with window cleaner and use a squeegee and than a dry paper towel .
Keep up the great work be safe Happy New Year and may 2023 be even better
What I did was purchase an expandable wands like at the truck stops to wash my windows and squeegie them. I use rubber gloves, neoprene big enough to to put my winter gloves into, and wet down the sponge part with windshield washer fluid. Then I wash the windows, even the front ones from the ground. I have to tilt the hood forward. When I am done, I squeeze out the remaining windshield washer and place expandable wand in my lower side box. It will not freeze because I used windshield washer to ckean the windows. I do not get streams either. I hope this helps! Happy New Year
Yes some parts of Utah it's very difficult, especially with those weird # streets etc. I feel the pain. I admire you making a positive impact in a potentially very negative and rough environment great job Shelby.
Sorry you had issues finding that shipper and had a bad headache. What a confusing place.
I'm no longer with FedEx Ground either. Got an amazing job with ESPN (in Nashville right now). I remember seeing you once at 432 when fueling but wanted to respect your privacy.
Your videos are real...and that's why I like you and your channel. Hope you have an amazing New Year Shelby! Stay safe.
Thank you! Someone tried to talk to me in a dark truckstop parking lot and I feel so bad for that interaction because I was just so nervous about the dark
@@ShelbyHBTM perfectly understandable though...things happen during the day too...never let your guard down. anyways, have a wonderful 2023!
That is a fresh cut potato rubied on the glass you want to stay clear
Safe travels , your very smart, very gorgeous woman. Seeing your videos is always a joy.
You are an American treasure! Trouble free safe travels for you and Dakota.
Good video, GPS can be aggravating at times. Last few days I've had same issue trying to keep windows clean on my truck. Stay safe out there
I it's philip hope you are well and enjoying life to the full.brilliant vlog. Decoata is looking well. My German shepherd used to like tennis balls with a racket you just hit the ball and he would fetch it. brilliant for the summer. as well as winter.roll on summer I hate the roads with ice and snow on them. Take care and happy new year to you good luck for 2023 🍀philip. 👍
Use waffle weaved microfiber towels. Use one to clean the window cleaner off and then use a second waffle weaved towel to buff off the rest no streaks. Because them streaks at night time bother the crap out of me 😂
what i use is a wet magic eraser followed by a microfiber towel to dry then use invisible glass cleaner (get it at advance auto) with a microfiber towel, safe travels
Your good attitude seems to carry you through the hard deliveries, alone times, and pounding headache. Dakota being at your side helps you cope. Thanks for sharing the tough delivery and wasted time because your paperwork lacked a phone number to call. Yikes! One little phone number wudda' saved you hours of searching. You handled the glitch well.
Great video! Safe travels Shelby and Dakota 😀👋🐾💕
Hope you are doing ok.
Hey Shelby do you ever get scared driving a truck up mountains? Yesterdday was going up a moutain range here in jamaica,behind a truck and the more narrow the roads got i thought maaaaan this is sketchy, we overtook the truck and hauled ass 😂
Just cautious but not scared yet.
The scary part is down 😎
@@phantomxter lol true, even coming down in a suv i hold on a lil tighter 😂
First! Loving these daily uploads.. i hope things are on the up and up
Just regular old Windex (not the ammonia free) is the best window cleaner I've used. I hate the stuff they sell in the cans at every auto place. Leaves too many streaks, impossible to get squeaky clean. I also keep a bottle of bug and tar remover, and occasionally will spray the windshield with it, and it gets all of the bugs and other little specs off the window. It basically works to "super clean" it, and as a bonus, leaves a residue film that works as Rain-X.
Hope your doing well, miss seeing you.
It could be worse, I once walked a bunch of Marines 7 miles the wrong way because I can't read a map. Nope they were not happy.
LOL. Good workout though😉
😂😂😂. Did they tell you off?!?!
@@wam6465 no but they made me walk home (13 miles)
It would be so much fun to ride along with you! I enjoy these videos.
try microfiber towels to clean your windows.
Hey love your videos
Happy New Year Shelby and Dakota ❤️
It has been said Potatoes rubied on the glass will keep it clear of water and maybe ice
The base had storage at Freeport center I use to have to bring loads from base there. They said get in that truck go here not asked if I was licensed or not to drive the truck lol but this was back in 92 we just done our job
I know it's got to be tough to do more of a vloging video. I'm sure it's alot of extra work and hard cause we're human and life's not always dealing is rose's but I like these type of videos.
Hi Shelby and Dakota. My shep ate my turkey hero today.
Driver side wiper blade is the end torn.
I know I’m getting new ones as soon as I find a truck stop that has my size
Hope all is going well. Glad you made it and are safe. Take care!
Get those streaks off your window just take a dry paper tile and rub it like if you We're polishing
I get nasty headaches sometimes too, and I've found that a great remedy is extra strength Goody powders. Basically just powdered aspirin, but it works great for me. Maybe keep some in your truck?
Makes you miss paper maps. 🙃Oh oddly enough newspaper works great for cleaning your windows with the window cleaner.
the truck must be happy to explore again
Not cool of them to keep you waiting around for 4 hours, but it all worked out. And girl, you can move! lol just kidding. I know you sped up the footage to save time. You might want to buy a squeegee and keep it in your truck for when you have to clean the windows. I don't know if it will help prevent streaks but it will be easier. Anyway, Happy New Year and be safe out there.
Hey! I've delivered in McCarran! Only once though
Got to love Freeport center or places like it that were once a military depot! 😉
Spray way makes the best glass cleaner!
Them mountains with the snow caps♥️
Wonderful landscape!
90% Alcohol will clean your windows just great’. ❤ GET SOME GOOD REST SHELBY 💐.
Hi Shelby and Heckin Dakota!!!!!
Try just plain ole vinegar and newspaper to clean your windows. It usually works very well
Google maps aren't always right !
Like the socks, & the 🐝 on your shirt 😊
I dropped hazmat upon renewal of license this year
Your headache may have been from some stress, anxiety of not being able to find the dock, a bit of panic (adrenaline) and fatigue. I know I get a wicked headache from a sudden panic ("omg where's my wallet!!?" type panic) and that's the adrenaline being pumped. It sucks but the best thing to do is take something for it and try to relax, even if it's just mentally. Dakota senses your not feeling well and is trying to comfort you and protect you. You have a lot going on in your life right now...take it day by day. You're going to be ok!
You look lovely in the video
It would be a lot more enjoyable trucking with you..without a doubt❤
I cringe every time I get a pickup at Freeport. That place is a nightmare.
She I believe used to drive with a guy named I think B.K, she called him, they don’t appear to be together anymore. Does anyone remember that
Yes….I was wondering if she ever addressed this?? He did all of the recording and editing but didn’t want to be on camera.
Use what works for you always

Hi my name is Bryant Rooney from riverside ca and I am very pleased about u in all ur videos shelby love ur dog Dakota and I used to be a truck driver for 25yrs and I wished I could of trained better in Qualcomms and it was a struggle for learning how to do hrs in service plus logging where u park and I was unhappy with the pay also what advice would you give me if I was to drive again.
Hey Shelby! Merry Christmas! Are you going to post your new PO Box address in the description? Want to send you a Christmas gift. Happy New Year!!
Well you have alway trusty Dakota as your road pilot if you can´t see the oncoming trafic, or when you need parking assistance.
Been enjoying your daily videos.
I hope one day you deliver something to Parksite in Fargo, ND so i can get your autograph and meet you.
Lol I’m a normal person 😅
@@ShelbyHBTM define normal lol I think I'm pretty "normal" too
