Hey man, this really hit me. My lady passed in 2021. We were a team that worked like that. She was fearless. We did construction and auto mechanics, not trucking but intense just the same. She taught me how to cook. I miss her. Doubt I'll ever find anyone close to Leigh. Much love to you two👊🏻
@@paulshamblin6260you got that right they will stick with you no matter what. Way better than the (see how much child support I can get American women). I got a Gem that's for sure so glad I went. Met mine online and all I can say is she's awesome.
This guy is a creep what are you talking about! This is what’s wrong with the world you shouldn’t have to go to another country to find a wife to bring back and wreck this country! You should go to the Philippines and stay there with her. But people actually think the world is in good shape right now and what people are doing is right! The world needs to burn
I'm not sure if this young lady is a new driver, but all she needs to do is relax exactly like the cat is doing, and everything will go smoothly. The one thing I learned as a new driver is to take my time, no matter how much inconvenience I may be causing. It is always better to be safe and 100% sure than to be rushing and guessing. Learn to always plan ahead. The guy riding and talking to her is doing a great job of helping her through her workday!
Great video and driving skills. Mr. Bentley is one cool cat. He appeared to enjoy bouncing around while playing with the screw, nut and washers. Cute dog too.
Before my dad died back in 2008, he was a truck driver all his life and I usually pull up truck driver videos when i really miss him and found your video. First off, you are a badass truck driver not only because you are a woman driver but you have a cat totally lounging on your dashboard. It just doesn't get any better than that.
Bentley is something special to watch. Watching him rocking back and forth like a bobblehead!😂❤ I would do this job only if I had a cat like that on board.
Kudos to the young lady. *Everyone* who drives truck has to start somewhere, no matter how good you think you are. She's cautious and quite aware of her surroundings. Hats off to *anyone* who drives truck for a living, especially flatbed.
Yes , that cat is chilling 😂.. Sis U R doing a great job.. I'm proud of u.. Stay Safe & Thank -You, I have much respect for you. You have great patience .. 👍❤️🙏 Bentley ! 😎
I'm always still amazed at how far trucks have come in just over 30 years. I started driving in 1992 and worked for a guy who assigned me a 1978 White Road Boss with a 318 Detroit. I was watching this video and hearing the GPS giving her directions and thinking, "In that old Road Boss with the screaming Jimmy, I'd never be able to hear a GPS".
The GPS is not even part of the truck, American trucks look like they did 30 years ago, still mostly unsynchronised transmissions. Don't get me wrong, i love how they look, i'm just used to more practical (european) trucks, where at least the GPS is built into the truck ;)
A little know tip lost since the invention of power steering: BEFORE stopping while reversing, start cranking the wheel just as fast / hard as you can in the opposite direction ( the way you want the truck to go when you start in the other direction ). Then start rolling forward and you're halfway there, going in the direction you want. No trying to turn the wheel while stopped, or starting to go forward and Then start turning. In other words, plan ahead . . .
Roger that. I hate seeing people dry steering a vehicle. Hard on the steering components as well as the ashphelt underneath. Your right seems to have been a lost technique, You see dry steering too often now days
Yeah, I too let the vehicle to roll when turning the wheel. Now with automatic trans, people step on the brake while turning and cause excessive strain on steering gear! All my vehicles are still on OEM steering racks and pumps as a result!
Exactly, that's the way we all did it back in the day both on trucks and cars without power steering, turning the wheel while the vehicle is still in motion, however slow to "soften" the steering wheel and to also minimize wear on the tires by lessening their friction against the pavement.
Wow,Nuff respect. You're not just an inspiration to girls everywhere but also to each & every human who believes in hard work. Bless up🙏🙏❤️ Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW

Cicadas. I can understand how they could sound like a constant air leak/drop to an over alert trucker. I like the energy of getting out to double check. Subscribing/subscribed.

we had a stop in Cincinnati off the Norwood Lateral you had to back in off a busy street. it was easier to back in and hold up traffic than to head in and back out. always a nervous situation. momma did well backing out onto that street missed both cars and fence
11:52 That light is blinking yellow! 11:56 Solid yellow, and more than two car lengths from intersection. 11:57 Red. Still a car length from intersection. 11:58 Red +1 second. Front grill is probably lined up with intersection (curb running 90 degrees). 11:59 Red + 1 second and more. Crossing into intersection. With the other yellow lights that were ignored earlier, you are setting yourself up for some expensive tickets, and insurability issues, if you keep this habit up. One day, a cop will be watching, or the light will be RED longer before you get to the intersection, and there will be no excuse. Not to mention an accident, if a car comes across while speeding, and their light is green.
One reason among others that I gave it up because blowing through a light or trying to stop under load and the law of probality would eventually have caught up with me for a ticket or worse my major fear was killing folks. Being dog tired was my enemy as well.
aaww i love your fuzzy babies !!! a doggos and a kitty just chillin' and loving life , are the definition of warmth and love ! keep on truckin' ; be safe, and give those babies kisses for me . much love from Georgia .
I am amazed to see you’ve got a cat and a dog in the cab. Regarding those streets, the issue is more with the big American tractors, not really meat for tight orders, isn’t it. They were built for long straight roads, I guess. That’s why in Europe there are cab overs. It’s all a lot even tighter here in the UK, that block you circled on the way out of that yard would be a wide one around here. Well done mama! You made it look easy. Subscribed to your channel.

Good job! I never drove an 18 wheeler but towed A 32' travel trailer. Living on a business road meant waiting for an opening in traffic that provided enough time to back the trailer into my driveway (two 45 degree bends) without creating a huge backup in traffic. It was nerve wracking in the beginning but over time you get good at it. The worse thing you can do is rush.
I'm 62 and have been driving since the days of the road atlas. Multiple maps. Route planning wasn't hard back then, just took time. Today it is so simple. Something you guys definitely should look into. No reason to be blundering about and potentially running into a bridge or overpass you can't get past.

Driving skills, hmmm let's see.. should have stopped on that yellow as for the light turned red before she entered the intersection. Then later over the bridge to turn left on the highway, that light also was red! She's so lucky no cop was around.
This is everyday in downtown Los Angeles CA. I feel for you. One tip I might give is to take the extra effort and back into facilities. When I delivered fuel (night driver for almost 20 years) there was no one to spot me for backing out.

Hahaha, I can so relate from when I started out, in the middle of night, rural roads, middle of winter and wife on cell. But seeing the start, I do really appreciate driving a cabover. Greetings from Norway. Beautiful cat!

Exact advice I was given as a new driver
I think you better let her do the driving
@@Lovepeace84I think you better listen to that point and keep it moving. Simp.
I started work at a local coffee shop, and I am so nervous, making a few mistakes, but the boss is chill. I put the pressure on myself.
If their yard isn’t set up for semi delivery’s, they should load and unload in the street.
That's what we thought they were going to do, but they let us pull into their yard.
That is pretty small street to block with unloading I think they made the right call and clearly semis fit since it fit
I would have backed in. Never pull in where you could get in a mess like that.
Um. I'm looking your cat...it's saying I'm the boss right now lol 😆
Like a Boss 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍 stay safe out there 🚛🛣️ .

I was watching this video and hearing the GPS giving her directions and thinking, "In that old Road Boss with the screaming Jimmy, I'd never be able to hear a GPS".
Ha, my first truck was a ‘68 cab over Kenworth with that 318 Detroit. Yes, it’s loud and you constantly were shifting from what I remember.
@@ffarmchicken Yeah they were gutless you had to shift a lot and if you parked while idling, it looked like the Exxon Valdez spill
Yep, I started in '93 driving a 1987 Kenworth K100 cabover. Was just me, my Cobra 148GTL, and ole Rand McNally
Yup.. Lady wouldn’t have been able to drive those old rigs.
