It really makes me happy to see that you guys were appreciated and well taken care of, that rarely happens in the trucking industry and I've been in it for 40 some-odd years. Well Done.
@@NickWeber112I haven’t watched in some time. Hair cut looks good. Sounds like you did an excellent job and were blessed with a bonus. Swift must be a good human. I’d rather listen to 47 chainsaws simultaneously cutting logs than her music, but good on her for being generous. It’s a big world with lots of different styles and taste. I’m gonna get going here in 5 from Seattle . Bob Seger is cued and ready to play “ Roll me away.” Enjoy your youth Nic; it will fly by like road markers. Be cool.😎
@@rayray4192 I love Bob Seger and I love a lot of Taylor’s deep cuts. Her lyricism is bar none. Haven’t been a huge fan of her radio hits but the music just written from the heart, not meant to be commercial, are where her true talent is.
@@sirsimonthesentry4787 The motor city rocker, Bob Seger, put out some great truckin music. Taylor Swift is a joke. Give me Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. I primarily listen to smooth jazz and blues. But you do you brother. Hope you’re well and happy today, and your needs are being met. Peace.
@@rayray4192 You should give Taylor's "folklore" albums a listen. I think you might find that you're judging her talent based on a handful of radio hits that she had to put out to keep her label happy instead of the music she actually enjoys creating.
From a swiftie - It’s always so cool to see the behind the scenes!! Taylor wouldn’t be able to do this without all of you! Everyone behind the scenes is just as important as she is and we’re so grateful for you!!
Nick, My names Mike and I work at Vehicare Fleet Solutions in Kansas City. Wanted to reach out and say we really appreciated you trusting us to get your ride up and rolling again and the shoutout. Next time you’re in Kansas City swing by and we will treat you to some KC BBQ!
One of Taylor's trucks broke down in Tampa and the truck was brought to our garage for repair. She even tipped us to get that truck up and running quickly.
1. She left her talent back in 2010. She’s garbage now. All modern music is. 2. She hasn’t done anything for the economy. She helped the economy of the venues she performed at, but not the actual economy. Her tour didn’t flood money back into the market, she kept most of it and gave some away. That’s not doing shit for the economy. Stop saying that
It’s good to see drivers getting appreciate it for hard work and her knowing along with her mom and dad who decided on the blessing of a good raise , them being away from family for a good amount of time. Keep trucking I’m a trucker myself for 24 years and enjoy nature and getting appreciate it as well If you need or know if they or any show need a driver let me know Thanks
I certainly hope that Taylor has set a precidence for those other truckers who are doing other tours as well when it comes to getting a nice bonus! You all deserve it!!
@@NickWeber112what year is your KW. I have been a diehard Cummins guy years. I got a truck with a 12.7 Detroit and I have been really impressed with it after a lot of work. Are you guys like me paper. My egn is a 98? I am taking it you don’t get home much?
Man, sweet ride. I literally just got my CDL a few days ago. It’s cool to see another side of trucking besides industrial and “normal” jobs in trucking. Happy for you man and great content. Stay safe on the roads bro.
What a great opportunity to drive for her team and big responsibility that goes with it for the driver .. as my uncles and dad always have said without our truckers there is not much being moved without them keep going.. keep driving safe
100% agree, except being in the semi repair business, he has one of the best trucks available on the planet. Almost aything newer than 2012 is a pain in the ass POS lol
I was a lead driver with Upstaging, Inc 12 1/2 years from 1986 to 1999 touring with everything big and small. It’s not a life that you want unless you’re single and don’t want to ever be home. The smaller tours were much better. I did the stones McCartney Madonna U2 all the big tours, and believe me the one or two truck tours of the best wants to do.
I’ve been driving since 1998. Dry van and refrigerated freight. It’s interesting to see videos on other aspects of trucking. I got to see Taylor in Minneapolis. Great show. What a stage. Hope to see her again the next time she comes through Minnesota
@@RedheadedMusic the company I work for shomotion goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of. I am extremely blessed. And was fortunate enough to hang out with her dad a few times before we were ever handed the bonus. Extremely nice and friendly people!
I don't follow 'celebrities'; I'm not a fan type of person. I believe in the adage that if you have a hero, you've diminshed yourself in some ways. But, after hearing/reading about the kindness and generosity, and insightfulness, and compassion of Taylor Swift, I'm in awe and admiration of her as a person; and I think about it every now and then. The world is a better place because of her, andnit has npthing to do with her talent as a performer.
LOVE THIS - im a self made so called Global executive from a humble middle class Trucker family.. Nothing compares but being a part of the people doing the work.. left the big city - and content knowing this is where I want to be...thanks for sharing =)
Yeah.! Good for you and your team Nick. Swift stunned the tour's trucking staff by giving each trucker a check in the amount of $100,000, Michael Scherkenbach, founder and CEO of Denver, Colorado-based Shomotion trucking company, told CNN. Shomotion is one of two transportation companies used by the tour, he said.Aug 3, 2023
No problem Nick I'm not even a trucker, always love big trucks and I've been around it my whole life one being my uncle having a recovery & service company, so I can appreciate the The grind been a subscriber for long enough I don't think I had to go back and watch many past videos to catch up. When you picked up those aluminum stacked utility trailers from Alcom different state but that's the company I work for. That was pretty cool to see that and then you should do more with Steve from welder-up, that dude's got some pretty cool projects.
My general dry goods and spot market freight seems SOOOOO much more boring when I see stuff like this! 😄😄 Totally jealous of your gig! It's cool seeing people do interesting parts of trucking.
I'm jealous. Not over the fact that you're traveling for Taylor's shows but of all the sights you get to see and that your dog gets to come with you. I have lived in Indianapolis my whole life and only traveled a few times. Wish I could tag along. I would have to bring my pitty though 😅 Impressive work!
Truckers are the unsung heros to merchandise transfer in America. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to be continually on the road trying to meet concert schedules. Seems like a lot of pressure. Always on time always making Taylor look good, lots of responsibility. I worked as a roadie once back in the 80's for amateur band, way too much pressure. Good work experience clearly a younger person's job. Thanks for the video.
It amazes me how those big truck drivers are so skilled in what they do and how they drive. It truly is an art with lots of patience So nice to see them so appreciated and compensated for the hard skilled work they do. It is so facinating🎉😮
I’m a older fella and I’m a Swifty! I sing her stuff in my helmet when riding, full volume so as not to scare people.😅. It’s because she’s a good human besides her catchy tunes
Awesome tractor. I always thought the trucks on the tour would travel together like a convoy so they arrive at the same time. But I guess logistics and such make it different.
To all truckers thank you with all my heart n soul it's hard buy yet gravy driving a semi to concerts food everything y'all do for the world amen be safe out there trucking
I heard all the drivers on her tour got a decent raise!!! Congrats if true my brother. Youre killin it. Come a log way sive episode 1. Been here all along

That storm off in the distance amazing!! Nice job getting things done Nick i tip my hat to you ive done trucking 43 yrs.retired in 2018 im 72 yrs.old and i still get that itch LOL!!! Be safe my friend!!
As an owner-operator, I begged and hunted for a JOB like that. Any group any time just wanted that job. I would have paid any cost, knowing that in the end, I would be paid beyond my dreams.
Omg I’ve always wanted to know about this and how it all works! You guys work hard and it looks like y’all are friends and hang out during the shows AND you get to watch her concerts!!!!! 😮 Do you get reimbursed for hotels etc!? Just curious Love you Taylor!
After being a yard haustler for a distribution center for 10 years I can't imagine backing that rig into some of my old warehouses with 2" on each mirror backing inside the buildings. My tractor was as long as your sleeper. Do you ever use that deck for cargo beside the e-bike? BTW- I'd keep the YZ450F there instead, but I get the application. Great video.
Thanks 🤟🏼 I used to put the bikes and snowmobiles on the deck but never any paid cargo. Since redoing the deck I’ve been reluctant to put anything bigger than the e-bike up there to prevent damaging the wood. I’m sure we will have a snowmobile on her this winter though 🤣
This is like my two worlds colliding lol. I work in logistics for a huge grocery chain during the week & front a touring band on the weekends (just a van and trailer lol)
when Floyd did there 94 tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe must have been a blast... HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE
Dude were you in El Paso traveling north towards Las Cruces NM on Saturday August 26th!? I was right behind you! They were doing construction on the highway and we were stuck in two lanes for a good like 15 to 20 minutes and I remember thinking “hey this truck is really nice, love the cream color with red accents and that matching bike is awsome!” Lmaoo small world! Had I known u were a taylor driver I would have recorded you for my snapchat haha thats soo cool! 👏🏻
Beautiful rigs; awesome camaraderie; changing landscapes; dynamic weather; familiar cities... awesome video! Hope it's OK to share a personal difference: I didn't mind the background music but I would have loved to have seen this crafted with TS songs that poignantly fit the different scenes. That's just me being picky; doesn't take away from the enjoyable vlog experience though! Thank you for sharing!👍
That is so amazing you give your truck driving associates such kudos, These guys never heat any kudos. You guys are amazing❤ love and thanks to all of you. I come from a family of truck drivers and is nothing short of hard work and long hours❤
I think you need one of those phone/base things that cling to to the window so you can place iPhone while driving and still film. I use in car driving around town and than I use just one finger not the best to move around but can still pick up the road! Cheers happy to have found your channel
My younger brother drove semi truck for her tours for 2 years -he works for “ Upstaging “ out of Illinois. Bright Red tractors with enclosed trailers with her picture on trailer.
Taylor is such a a amazing woman I love her to death so generous of her to think of her workers dancers truckers every one $ 100,000 is a awesome bonus I could accept thatbone love you taylor i so wish i coud afford tickets n travel fees to go see u im concert in frontnrow be soo awesome n surpied love you all
@NickWeber112 Well it looks like you're having a truck load of fun. I don't know if that's fair or Not to those senior drivers. Such as myself who has paved the way over the years. So that you new Young bucks Can make the big money and drive the fancy trucks. Now I'm talking like your Grandpa. Or perhaps your dad. But truth be told, Nick, I'm kidding. I'm very, very happy for you that you have fowned a job that you enjoy in life. You seem to be doing a remarkable job of it. Again congratulations on your career. And as we used to say, keep the sunny side up and the greasy side down. Be safe driver!
@@davidhecker5000I’m actually surprised Taylor Swift didn’t use the Swift Trucking company to move her tour around the USA!!! It’s one of the largest trucking companies in the country! Perfect fit if you ask me 😂
Im curious, if something wer to happen, like some idiot cuts off a truck and the load is damaged beyond repair, what would the stage crew do without those particular pieces of the stage or lights or equipment?
I’ve watched a few videos on the logistics of the tour. The Eras Tour had two different sets of truss & stage, call them A-rig and B-rig. They leap frog each other, so while Taylor’s playing on Friday night on A-rig, B-rig is probably sitting in the next city or rolling in. My point is that they have a little bit of cushion time if something were to go wrong. Obviously how much time depends on when the issue happens, but I’d say worse case they’d get replacement pieces for what was damaged on a one off rush load. Just a guess though!
One of my friends use to be the lead for running the truckers for a few artists over the years. Still the one at Farm Aid maybe 10 years ago now was classic. A guy walks up to him and says and says, Mr Nelson requests your presents in the bus. There were a few other instances, but the best was Mark Ruffalo putting his head down when artists were coming over to him or calling him over to their table at this one event in NYC.
I turned this on for my drive home, thinking it was going to be some sort of interview or something. It's definitely not something to turn on in the background lol.
Wow, no headache racks on some of those trucks pulling flatbeds? Back in the early to the end of the 90s I was leased to Landstar pulling my 53ft flatbed and we had to have headache racks. Not that they would stop a coil. ut still it was where chains, binders, straps, flags, tarps, and other paraphernalia was kept. When did the laws change? You have a beautiful truck. Be safe out there.
Cool video footage. Audio is horrible though. I did rock tours in the 90s. Drove coach on some tours & a rig on others hauling stage gear. Was home 33 days 1 year. It was a great gig if you were single. It sure beat hauling freight and dealing with warehouses. Looking back I wish I wrote a book about my experiences being on the road on rock n roll tours cause if you weren't there people don't believe half the stories that happened back then but did happen. Like we used to say back then 'ain't no business like show business'.
Love your Class 8- KW what a wonderful Ride. Nice Doggy also. I wish you could see my 1971 SeaGrave Fire Engine. I Drive her around My Area for KIDS events. Its power is 8V-71 Detroit Diesel-5 speed Dana/Spicer manual. I put stacks facing skyward, she screams down the streets. Love to have you get behind wheel on her my friend. Thanks for getting Taylor's stage on time. I have never understood how you guys can get that stuff to next stadium in time for set ups.😊
Man that is so dang cool! I would love to see that fire engine sometime, sounds you make a lot of kids days! Friggin sweet man! Thanks for sharing! Ride on😎🤟🏼🙌🏼

One of Taylor's trucks broke down in Tampa and the truck was brought to our garage for repair. She even tipped us to get that truck up and running quickly.
Oh rich people started tipping culture and now we all have to pay it
Did you actually ever meet her? I would assume no because why would she be there but like
@@AllTheBestVideos no, she was not there.
Taylor Swift is not only a talented superstar she has also done well for the economy to all the towns that her tour goes to thank you Taylor Swift
Well she said to when passport checked in Argentina staff when asked your reason to visit is? Taylor reply "to build your economy up😂😂😂." Class act

They were doing construction on the highway and we were stuck in two lanes for a good like 15 to 20 minutes and I remember thinking “hey this truck is really nice, love the cream color with red accents and that matching bike is awsome!” Lmaoo small world! Had I known u were a taylor driver I would have recorded you for my snapchat haha thats soo cool! 👏🏻
Yeah that was me! 😎🤟🏼
Great Video😎 Ive done work for Stage Call in the past, the entertainment industry is the best 👍You have to be on your toes and keep up with the crew
Sure do! And that’s awesome, thanks for sharing and the support! Ride on 🤟🏼
Man what a privilege to be a part of that concert series.
It set records.
IKR! It’s a honor to be apart of this team😎🙏
Im an over the road expedite driver hope to see this amazing rig on the road sometime!!!!!
You guys don't get the fame but yous guys get appreciated because with out yous the show would not go on the KW is sweet
Thanks that means a lot! ❤️🤟🏼
Beautiful rigs; awesome camaraderie; changing landscapes; dynamic weather; familiar cities... awesome video!
Hope it's OK to share a personal difference: I didn't mind the background music but I would have loved to have seen this crafted with TS songs that poignantly fit the different scenes. That's just me being picky; doesn't take away from the enjoyable vlog experience though! Thank you for sharing!👍
That is so amazing you give your truck driving associates such kudos, These guys never heat any kudos. You guys are amazing❤ love and thanks to all of you. I come from a family of truck drivers and is nothing short of hard work and long hours❤
I think you need one of those phone/base things that cling to to the window so you can place iPhone while driving and still film. I use in car driving around town and than I use just one finger not the best to move around but can still pick up the road! Cheers happy to have found your channel
My younger brother drove semi truck for her tours for 2 years -he works for “ Upstaging “ out of Illinois. Bright Red tractors with enclosed trailers with her picture on trailer.
Was it during the red era?
The logistics involved in this tour is absolutely mind blowing!!
Taylor is such a a amazing woman I love her to death so generous of her to think of her workers dancers truckers every one $ 100,000 is a awesome bonus I could accept thatbone love you taylor i so wish i coud afford tickets n travel fees to go see u im concert in frontnrow be soo awesome n surpied love you all
So, do the truckers build the stage or just transport it? How often do they get to go home?
Just transport it..diff. people do the job..
Very cool opportunity, well done!! Awesome rig and Fur baby 🦮
Thank you very much 😁✌🏼
If I drove for Taylor .Would that make me a Swift driver.. come on...😂
Yep. As in, "Sure Wish I F........ Taylor".
Hahaha only if you apply the decals on the side of your truck
@NickWeber112 Well it looks like you're having a truck load of fun. I don't know if that's fair or Not to those senior drivers.
Such as myself who has paved the way over the years. So that you new Young bucks
Can make the big money and drive the fancy trucks. Now I'm talking like your Grandpa.
Or perhaps your dad. But truth be told, Nick, I'm kidding. I'm very, very happy for you that you have fowned a job that you enjoy in life. You seem to be doing a remarkable job of it. Again congratulations on your career. And as we used to say, keep the sunny side up and the greasy side down. Be safe driver!
Stop it😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@davidhecker5000I’m actually surprised Taylor Swift didn’t use the Swift Trucking company to move her tour around the USA!!! It’s one of the largest trucking companies in the country! Perfect fit if you ask me 😂
AWSOMENESS...... KEEP ON TRUCKING.... BEEN WATCHING SINCE POWER ONLY DAYS..... NICEEEEE
Shoot yeah! Thank you for the continuous support! 😁✌🏼
This makes me want to walk away from the corporate engineering life at 52 and drive. Not sure why this was in my YT feed but glad it was!
Im curious, if something wer to happen, like some idiot cuts off a truck and the load is damaged beyond repair, what would the stage crew do without those particular pieces of the stage or lights or equipment?
I’ve watched a few videos on the logistics of the tour. The Eras Tour had two different sets of truss & stage, call them A-rig and B-rig. They leap frog each other, so while Taylor’s playing on Friday night on A-rig, B-rig is probably sitting in the next city or rolling in. My point is that they have a little bit of cushion time if something were to go wrong. Obviously how much time depends on when the issue happens, but I’d say worse case they’d get replacement pieces for what was damaged on a one off rush load. Just a guess though!
She gives a lot to charities she a
Great of a decent young businesswoman
Nice to see they are driving real trucks.
At Shomotion we take pride in the rigs we drive! 😎🤟🏼👊🏼
Thanks for the sunsets and lighting shows. Miss that not being on the road.
Man you got some extra runs on this trip!
Keep in trucking bud!
They definitely make the driving a little sweeter 😁✌🏼
Great video man. Looks like the gig of a lifetime. Keep on truckin.
Cant be to bad you just got a big bonus most truckers would never get
So grateful🙏🙏
Such a cool video! Damn that beige truck is gorgeous
One of my friends use to be the lead for running the truckers for a few artists over the years. Still the one at Farm Aid maybe 10 years ago now was classic. A guy walks up to him and says and says, Mr Nelson requests your presents in the bus. There were a few other instances, but the best was Mark Ruffalo putting his head down when artists were coming over to him or calling him over to their table at this one event in NYC.
Thank you for the video. Safe travels. Blessings to yuou.
Thanks Gail! You as well!
Aww the dog 🥰 must be so nice to have her with you
Wish you would have explained a little more about the process or answer questions asked here.
The face of one of the people that got that bonus, lol nice!
😎🙏
Thank you for all your hard work Taylor really appreciate you all so do I. Have you met Taylor in person yet?
I turned this on for my drive home, thinking it was going to be some sort of interview or something. It's definitely not something to turn on in the background lol.
I told several people
some years ago that I wanted to drive for Taylor,
I still ain’t got it done yet!! 😂❤
Never will with that mindset. In show / music biz, you drive for the company who contracts with the talent...that simple. Dream on ☁☁...
If you find a company that transports for the big tours you might definitely get that chance! She will tour again next year 😎
@@NickWeber112technically he can drive for Swift 🤔🤷♂️ close enough
Oh hell, I would’ve given anything to have been a driver on her tour
Wow, no headache racks on some of those trucks pulling flatbeds? Back in the early to the end of the 90s I was leased to Landstar pulling my 53ft flatbed and we had to have headache racks. Not that they would stop a coil. ut still it was where chains, binders, straps, flags, tarps, and other paraphernalia was kept. When did the laws change? You have a beautiful truck. Be safe out there.
do you also unload the content or is that another team? Another team to assemble the set? Great video of you trucking. How did the TS find you?
I'm no trucker, in fact I hate driving....but seeing your rig on the road would get my attention!
Thanks Corey! Hopefully one day you see me pass on the road!
Cool video footage. Audio is horrible though. I did rock tours in the 90s. Drove coach on some tours & a rig on others hauling stage gear. Was home 33 days 1 year. It was a great gig if you were single. It sure beat hauling freight and dealing with warehouses. Looking back I wish I wrote a book about my experiences being on the road on rock n roll tours cause if you weren't there people don't believe half the stories that happened back then but did happen. Like we used to say back then 'ain't no business like show business'.
She's like a hero.
Love your Class 8- KW what a wonderful Ride. Nice Doggy also. I wish you could see my 1971 SeaGrave Fire Engine. I Drive her around My Area for KIDS events. Its power is 8V-71 Detroit Diesel-5 speed Dana/Spicer manual. I put stacks facing skyward, she screams down the streets.
Love to have you get behind wheel on her my friend. Thanks for getting Taylor's stage on time. I have never understood how you guys can get that stuff to next stadium in time for set ups.😊
Man that is so dang cool! I would love to see that fire engine sometime, sounds you make a lot of kids days! Friggin sweet man! Thanks for sharing! Ride on😎🤟🏼🙌🏼
gosh this loading unloading.....driving state to state, is hard work, these workers are incredible...
Hey there loved your video you guys work your butts off you guys rock
