You're welcome for the $25 I sent you, last video Alex. Dude even I had to notice that those seals do crack and rot, you seem to have a hard time with your trailer? Sometimes I have issues with my tandems and being a rookie sometimes setting them. I have 24 new ones on order, but I keep getting older ones that my uncle bought used years ago.
Alex at 7:14 you got back in your truck without hand sanitizer. Probably wanna do a level 3 decontamination and steam clean.
Lord help us!
Companies love drivers that take care of their equipment. Alex is a shining example of a companies dream driver.
Hey Alex, you take a lot of pride in having a nice clean truck and you bang the bolt cutters up against the paint on the door to remove the seal. Chipping the Paint. Bad Form.
Weak
Neek
Always keep the key on your key ring and always keep that in your pocket. That way you never have to worry where it's at.
Alex, get yourself some foil tape. You can tape up lil 'metal errors' right quick. And good on you for having GLADHAND GROMMETS in supply. (You are a seasoned trucker....gotta talk the talk there driver!} Job well done!
Right, having a stock of gladhand seals is important but it's amazing how many people over look it.
Seasoned trucker? He has been with more company's then years in a truck.
@@anthonylagunas6737every single vid seems like bro’s first day driving lol
8:20 all shop will do is patch it with aircraft aluminum tape. You should buy some of that tape too. Comes in really handy and saves you lots of time and headaches.
Alex I've never seen a bigger geek in my life driving trucks
100%
Thanks for sharing your travels. I love to learn where all your states and towns are. Following from Sydney Australia.
Did i hear that right? He went onduty just to slide tandems and.close the doors? Hell i didnt think anyone did that 😲
😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂
No idea.
Bro is the hall monitor of the roads
Your truck is always tidy!🎉 Good job 👍
A little battery operated blower would be great for those trailers that need cleaned
Bro refuses to make anything easier. Don’t even think about telling him to stop pulling trailer brake to park 24/7, and the f*cking hazard lights lol
Missing seal??? LOL, you'll probably have a stroke if you did drop/hooks in Laredo!!! 😅😂😂
But it's only a silly little hole it didn't need to be repaired straight away just duck tape it and they can sort it when the trailer is next serviced There was no need for it to change your whole day
Creative content
Bro is constantly putting reflective tape on every trailer lol
Ive never seen anybody worry so much about something so minor.
😂
Obviously GP Transco standards are higher than yours.

@stevec8861 are they really? Do you work there?
Hi Alex, it's always great to see another video, I love the content and listing to you talk as you drive, you are always so pleasant and I love the Alexisms. Keep up the great work, stay safe out there.
Man slap some duct tape on that shit and keep rolling.
Glad ur name is ohio, it reinforces the belief that the duct tape headquarters truly holds something over all of us
@@jmas225 that hole was not big enough to lose a whole day over. But yeah Ohio must be doing something right since we invented lot's of life changing things. Like flight and first NFL team and pop tops on can's the cheezit cracker and lot's more.
I love how much you are about your trailer matching your truck lol
When I used to work at Prime I would always ask for a bag full of gladhand seals when I visited their terminals. They were handed out freely so I would make sure I had more then I needed. :P
To pick up delivery? You mean to pick up load??
😂 he can’t make deliveries so they made him a shunt driver.
its rare to see this dude make 1 delievery in a video lmaooo ..... He mostly at the truckstops, backing, or cooking something
Good video. Keep it going. I swear feels like I'm there.
over here at Schneider, the DVIR report would say no defects in good condition on the trailer LOL!
That's because the prior driver didn't report it.
3:35 that translation tho that was fire good work on your editing
Has anyone ever seen the Chicago area without construction?
Great job Alex, your trucks always look good and so does your work ! see ya for the next one 🥰👍
oh my one minute ago i love your vids keep up the hard work!!
Is driving 500 miles a day not normal for you? I don’t see how you can make any money if you’re not driving at least 500 miles a day
283 miles a day on average
@@scottied67really? Is that a true figure?
It's because he pretty much refuses to work after 3 in the afternoon. He usually shuts down at 3 regardless of how many hours or miles he's put in for the day.
@@OceanLoverLibra I don’t know how he gets away with it. I worked for GP for over a year and I never got to shut down at 3. You drove your clock out pretty much everyday. But he is a RUclipsr and they have been known to treat them special due to them promoting the company. Was a good company too btw. I do miss it
im almost sure that they're going to speak up on this. even this video here.. not driving the last 3hrs to the receiver is completely crazy to me.. he wouldve been there and had more time to sleep in AND a on time delivery
26:50 is that forbidden apple juice? lol
Great video! Mike from Missouri
Bro expects us to believe he backed in in one shot but doesn’t record it lol
He knew he wasnt gonna be shut down at 3 so he had to figure something out. So he wanted to go to a terminal.
😂😂😂😂😂 reminds me of a hall monitor
According to the old game show Let’s Make A Deal. You can’t go wrong choosing door #3
The truck’s clean and ALEX WORTHY❤❤❤
When I saw your video was ready , I immediately said it is Alex time ! Nebraska again at least it isn't doing that white fluffy stuff !
Duct Tape fixes everything, you need to carry a roll Alex. The truck wash is cool...
Bro refuses to drive past 2pm lmfao
Love these way more than your short videos!
Where is the Vandalized part??
the hole on the corner
8:20 Alex is just being dramatic. It's not "vandalized", it's just damaged (likely from wear and tear or previous driver bumping into something).
It was a lie
In his mind
I love your content. you are always on point and cautious with exact details. You make me interested in truck life, big up bro
I have an family member that lives out there and he's an truck driver
Hope you got some glad hand rubbers when you were at the shop
@7:20 Whoa there big guy! You need to be careful with that!!
Glad hand rubbers go on alot easier if you spray some WD 40 on them
just missed you. i picked up a general electric load today ! . i work with nussbaum, small world
Did he say trailer was vandalized??? Dude is a bit extra at times.
Alex wishing you safe travels: NewJersey ❤
A very nice truck. I am also a truck driver, but in Europe !
Headed outside of our CDL school, what truck did I see? A GP TRANSCO. Turning out of our local Pilot, knew it wasn't you… It didn’t come from the Loves right across the street!
Trailer should have been swept out after you got unloaded. Now holding up other drivers. Some drivers get really pis*ed off pretty quick.
He wasn't holding anyone up. Other driver returned from check-in when Alex finished swept out.
@@stevec8861 that’s the security guard…
@@JN10NL Alex said in video driver behind him was checking in while Ale swept trailer.
Did I miss his truck being vandalized?
Click bate. That’s how he gets views.
Good Morning Alex.
Alex, could tell me what settings you use on your GoPro? Their so crispy and clear. Thanks!
Alex next time you are in Munster let me know coz I live in Munster, Indiana.
Your to funny Alex, you care about how dirty your truck is and matching too awesome love ya
Vandalized? Really?
Hey bro. It's awesome to met you down here at TA Davy Crockett. You seems cool dude. I'm going to start a youtube soon. Keep your head up bro!
Who goes to bed in the middle of the afternoon?
Me and my bouncy girlfriend
This truck simulator got real good graphics
Where is the vandalized TRL???
One of those guys hold up Everybody else
Alex, I suggest keeping the key in the lock.
You should be carrying extra. You get them from maintenance department.
Alex and his trailors.
You are really good safe driver willing to go all over the country and live in that truck. I recently got my cdl and tried melton flatbed. They flew me to Tulsa OK and I only made it through 2 days of orientation. It is in the 100s here and flatbed is all manual labor heavy lifting. Not for me gonna try dry van local or regional home at least 2 days a week out of Central florida.
Hey Alex how long are you out on the road for before you get any home time. Does GP transco make you do a 34 otr?.
I think i saw you yesterday going east on I64 in Illinois about 30 min from St. Louis MO
All y'all truckers always seem to have a half gallon of old lemonade in the passenger foot space. 🤪
Just drive the trailer!! Why are you crying over something so small!! Drive and get to your destination!!
Get you a cordless leaf blower to blow out those trailers instead of sweeping them. You can thank me later.
Wow you were in Munster Indiana in the beginning of the video I live down the street
The ground is not level? You are completely a sterring wheel holder. Lol
If you have a choice, why sleep at an angle when you can be level? Seems like smart money to me.
@@motarded4214 I carry wood and can drive up on it to level my tractor if I need to
U should have spare ones,people steal them all the time
Why didn't you sweep that out before you got there?
I would love to drive those automatics I’m currently taking my cdl classes for a class A manuel stick shift but I know I have a longggg way to go
5 months ago I don't watch you are video but this day while watching you are all video from Pakistan ❤️😩
Whats the pay there alex or an estimate
Instead of shutting down at 4pm with only driving a few hours......should have driven the 3 more hours shut down at 7pm and been close to your destination then you wouldn’t have had to get up at 4am 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
U don’t have to slide tandems at every place Only if they ask u too I never slide unless they say to
“Textbook backing” interesting we never see an unedited back from start to finish, bro sucks we all know it
Does it really matter if a trailer is clean or dirty? I don't understand
It is when you are trying to be fancy and say everyone look at me look at me
some shippers require that you have a clean trailer and will actually refuse to load if the trailer it too dirty.
@@metaluzc damn, that's interesting
You don't need to buy one, they're free.
Yk, i would like to drive an american truck once. A bit of a problem when you are not in america and your country doesnt use similar trucks.
I would have done a 90 there you count 7 space and then back up to where you have to go
Come on, rookie, use a trucker. GPS, not your phone 😂😂😂😂
OMG TURN YOUR BLINKER SOUND OFF
I like those high standards
que hermosa empresa para trabajar, seria un sueño trabajar ahi. muy buenos tus videos.
saludos desde Argentina
No, because they don't have seals because they steal them there.
You say there all hard to back into.
i seen GP near lansing Mi today dont know if it was you or not
Don’t listen to these wannabe truck drivers in the comments we real fans know how much you care about the truck and trailer, people are just sad these days that they gotta talk shit behind a screen, get a grip people, Alex has accomplished more then anyone in this comment section 😂💀
6:53 I just take one from another trailer. From another company that isn’t your company. Everyone does it. Lucky my company always give us a pair with our bills because Mexican truckers always take them when they cross them over the border.
Hole in the trailer, duct tape or flexseal
June?!?
Hello fc from Thailand😊😊😊
So do you get paid the same if you have to wait for a trailer to get fixed?
Can someone please explain why in the exterior scenes, there are some blurred like boxes when the truck is in the shot? Thank you all!
hes trying to blur his truck number
Oh ok! Makes sense. Thank you so much!
I used to really enjoy these videos but now not so much. The constant hysterics anytime there's the most minor inconvenience, with grunts and groans, the constant screaming and hazzard light noise is more than I can stand to watch.
I've always wondered, is that a piss bottle on the floor of your passenger side? 😬🇭🇲
@BadBoybBubby Well, if that’s all there is….we’re stuffed. 🇦🇺
nah, he just likes his apple juice warm, so he keeps it on the floor rather than a fridge.
