Great recommendation Bandit! As a Firearms Intructor it is Vital to Protect yourself. If folks can take a CC Class even though we are not required as a Constitutional Carry State, if you have a bad shoot or an interaction it looks much better if you are trained instead of being prceived as a Wyatt Earp. The Anti-gun Climate is rampant and you must protect yourself
I agree with you, everyone should take CCW class before they carry. The best advice my instructor gave me at target masters in Columbia was to run away. Don’t try to be a hero and don’t try to stand up to everyone. If you can avoid saving somebody’s life by running away, that is the best thing to do. But if you cannot run away, then stand there and defend yourself.
@@OTRBandit Just glad I found your channel. If you shut up ~ I'll unfollow you. You make alot of sense, that very well might help someone else. From NW Wi - keep it safe bud!
I came across this channel completely by accident. The author of the channel conveys information well and has charisma, I like this video format. Hello to everyone from Russia who reads the comments, I wish you a good day, including the author.
We enjoy watching you, yeeeaaah buddy! When you drive through Missouri we point out places we know and get a kick out of your comments. Keep trucking and thank you!
Love watching your channel. I am in the process of getting my CDL. I get a kick out of the people you say complain about it. If they don’t like it, they don’t have to watch it.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Keep on trucking!!
One guy watched one of my videos and said he wasted 30 minutes watching it lol he could’ve stopped after five minutes if it was that bad 😂😂😂 good luck with getting your CDL and if you need anything, please let me know.
gday mr bandit. in the early 90s i was driving a concrete truck for 2 years. they are very top heavy. then i was driveing a logging truck for 20 years. not one crash or rollover. when your load is top heavy you take your time. i drove through the devils staircase many times. thats a road south of queenstown. very narrow in places. also i was towing a logging trailer. many times i went through the kawrerau gourge. that was very hilly and narrow in places. you are a very good driver my friend. i first came onto your channel in that bluddy tunnel. you did well to get loaded and out again. thanks to the forklifts giveing you a helping hand.👍👍👍👍🤣😂🤣😂
I just looked up those places you drove and my hats off to my friend. Would love to drive those roads in NZ sometime. Looks very scenic and beautiful. I appreciate you my friend 🙏🏼 and I don’t think I’ll be going to this particular tunnel ever again. I will go to others because I’ve never had any issues at other places, but not this one.. Thank you very much for watching from beautiful New Zealand, my friend. 🙏🏼
i did all that in an old cab over t line international. you have a beautiful country also m8. yours is a big country where mine is a little one.@@OTRBandit
Back in the 70s i had a couple good outlaws teach me the ropes from Missouri. Bad guys for sure but helped this 18 year old kid out back in the day😂. They weren’t to be flucked with for sure. Cant wait to see the new wagon. Hey there might be a flip flop driver out there with some new shoes 😎😂😂😂
Hahaha, Liked it, " I just finished my frikin chicken " and got my phone call to go to the dock. to get unloaded. That was funny, glad you didn't have to wait to long, get in, get out, yes sir.. So I agree 100 % about the firearm concern, working for a company they could care less, or not much, god for bid, if 1 of their drivers got robbed, attacked, etc during a run, like you said, my life is priority # one. I would rather have it with me and not need it, than need it and not have one.. Glad to see you are eating food you cooked, rather than the truck stop junk. Thanx for the ride along to Norfolk. Stay safe, keep her between the mayonnaise & the mustard. Prrrtttttttt..
I appreciate it buddy 🙏🏼 and yes you are hundred percent right better to have it and never need it, than not have it and needed it one time. I am very glad I got this electric skillet from Walmart. It works very good. Food at truck stops is way too expensive nowadays.
It made me sad to hear your story of when you were growing up, your a very kind person. I really enjoy riding along with you. Thank you for being you my friend.
Thank you buddy I really appreciate that 🙏🏼 it was very bad, but I am happy to be here my friend. Come in here was better than winning the lottery for me.
Good morning OTR BANDIT THANKS again for the video and all you do.BigBlue is looking nice rolling down the road shining like the sun 🌅. Well I hope you enjoy your new journey with the refrigerated trailer and sorry about your loss on your 👟👟 and like I said before pay no attention to the haters.well until the next one you be careful and stay safe out there BANDIT
Good morning my friend. it sucks that I lost those shoes because I really like them. But what sucks even more is that I lost second pair on Wednesday. I am a freaking idiot, and I will never leave my shoes outside on the step again.
I really enjoyed the way you told off that guy. I wish I could be so bold.Oh, and I used to ask my husband, "Do you think your clothes just magically reappear in the closet?"
I tell ya brother, I wish I would have done this sooner, I’d love a job with a 359, I love the look and I’m just an old school kinda dude, I don’t see a way to do it with only 5 years left until I retire but I love looking out over your hood in the videos kinda gives me a sense of what it would be like, be safe brother !!!
@@OTRBandit I’d welcome a chance meet somewhere and sooner or later I think that will happen with all the places I’ve seen so far, we pretty much cross paths on the daily 😂😂 As for the truck, dude I respect that, I am grateful for your offer but I couldn’t, my luck someone would run into me, I would value the conversation more than anything else brother, heartfelt Thanx and safe journeys man !!
@@sonnygreen9698 I’m the same way my friend. I don’t like borrowing vehicles from other people. Borrow the vehicle from my brother-in-law one time and got into an accident. But thankfully, it wasn’t my fault.
@@OTRBandit I was just watching your reefer purchase video, (hadn’t finished it yet) but if I can help with anything please let me know, now that you have one of those the chances just increased 😂😂 Good luck with it man, for all the headaches in the refer industry I would still do it if I were an O/O.
Bandit! Freakin great video! In the video you mentioned how beautiful the sky was, I just have to tell you, in your videos, I look at the reflection of the sky on your shiny hood. Pretty cool! Be safe 😊
HEY THERE OTR BANDIT HOW ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD BECAUSE I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ABOUT TRUCK DRIVING ON. THE ROAD. I. CAN'T DO IT. ANYMORE BECAUSE I. HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND I AM GOING BLIND OUT OF ONE OF MY LEFT EYE FROM HAROLD BE SAFE MAN ALL OF YOUR. VIDEOS. ARE VERY GOOD KEEP DOING WHAT YOU. ARE DOING AND I DON'T BLAME YOU SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. OUT OF YOUR. MOUTH FROM HAROLD BE VERY SAFE
I came across this channel completely by accident. The author of the channel conveys information well and has charisma, I like this video format. I wish the author success in life. Hello to everyone from Russia who reads the comments, I wish you a good day, including the author.
@@OTRBandit Oh, so that's it, I heard a Russian accent from time to time. But I have nothing against it, you have a great accent, you make good and even great content.
I really appreciate that my Australian friend 🙏🏼 whoever buys my old trailer will be very happy with it for a long, long time. Owner operators like myself take very good care of our equipment and keep it in top shape.
Wow, what a story. If you don't mind, what country are you from? "That's a salad!" 😂 too funny, your kid has your sense of humor anyway! Stay safe and roll on buddy! Brrrrp!
Wait, if you can’t unload a load yourself, then why are they still allowed to charge you $500 to unload it? That $500 doesn’t feed their families, it feeds the company not doing anything! I’d guarantee the profit margin on that $500 is beyond unethical. I used to unload trucks, and I can guarantee paying the $500 is not “feeding their families”. If they want to feed their family, they’d accept the $500 straight from you instead of through the company. You’re basically donating to a “nonprofit” where 90%+ of the “donation” doesn’t even go to the cause it’s supposed to support!
I’m not sure why they changed that much to be honest with you. It’s Capstone who unloads it and charges that. But I’ve delivered same loads to Aldi like some of these other places and Aldi only charges $60-$100
While federal regulations provide a baseline, the patchwork of state laws adds layers of complexity to the issue. Some states are more permissive, allowing truck drivers to carry guns with relative ease, while others impose stricter regulations. For example, Texas generally allows the open carry of handguns, and this applies to truck drivers as well. However, California has more stringent regulations, requiring individuals to obtain a concealed carry permit to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle. Therefore, truck drivers must be vigilant in understanding and adhering to the specific regulations of each state they travel through……..just be careful and stay safe.
Thank you very much. I had a chance to load chicken load or I think turkey load the first day about the reefer up in Sioux City Iowa but I decided not to because you have to drop your trailer and leave. I don’t really wanna drop my trailer and just leave it.
Peterbilt 10 time's beter as a volvo truck...my two favorite trucks is Kenworth w900 and Peterbilt 389 but both of this trucks must have Cat c15 acert 625 😊...bandt I love your truck is a beautiful truck...thank for the video...stay safe brother
Thank you very much my friend. I really appreciate that. 🙏🏼 W 900 and Peterbilt 389 are also my two favorite trucks. I was trying to buy 900 before I bought this one, but I couldn’t find something that worked for me. But also, I am very glad I got this one.
At least on a good note, you made it home safe even without the shoes lol. Couldn't tell you how many times that happened to me but it happened off the top of my car lol.
I wasnt going to comment here, but you just said something that forced my hand. As far as someone stealing your MC# and being careful, I can get your MC# just with a few minutes here on the keyboard and that front license plate you have shown in every video. BTW, I have been watching your vids all afternoon, I wasn't going to sub till I heard you say some of the most real shit I have heard on YT in a long time. Keep it real brother.
Looking forward to your next one and picking up your new trailer. Change is always a challenge but I am certain you will make this one work buddy. Stay safe out there!
Old stomping grounds brotha. Lived in Rolla for 5 years driving a truck. Wife and I always went went to Jefferson city fo shopping mall and dinner. Not to bad place to live.
@@richshan529 I am serious buddy. I left both pairs on my step.. Drove about two hours and I tried to get out but there was no shoes. One of them was somehow still sitting on my step and one of them flew away somewhere.
@OTRBandit ...I'm sorry to hear that. I think you might need a different system so that you don't leave them behind. I realize that you're trying to keep that beautiful truck looking well, beautiful! Stay safe out there! I'll be interested to hear how you do with your new reefer trailer. I run reefer too but I'm a company guy running a day cab locally, out of the suburbs of Philly, servicing ShopRite grocery stores in Pa, De and NJ too. Sometimes they run me out of Gouldsboro too, which means that I can hit NY and North NJ stores too.
@@richshan529 I’ll be honest with you sometimes I miss all that mess over there back east. I used to do that all the time like for about 10 years. I’ve only done Missouri to East over there, back to Chicago, Chicago to Missouri. I’ve been to Philadelphia many times and a few times New York City and Bronx but not with this truck.
shoot id go back to welding if i had to drive a volvo or any of them plastic truck,,,i like them long frame petercars my self ,,,if you cannt run with the big dogs keep ur ass on the porch,hann you can still do dry with the reefer might have to wash it out more
Another Great video, Thank You Can you explain why you have to pay the Lumper ? Is it coming out of your pocket or does the freight company you deliver for pay for them ? Stay Safe Mate, Best wishes from Tasmania Australia
Thank you buddy. Sometimes I pay for lumper but I am always reimbursed for it. I think shipper is covering that cost but I’m not 100% sure. Thank you for watching from Australia my friend 🙏🏼
I never knew about the caves until last year. I was watching on you tube (Trucking with Schmidt) and he had to pick up or drop off a load and he had a W900.
I love trolls. I’ll check my email and see some troll comment he left. I click on it and it’s not available on RUclips anymore. They probably see my responses to some other trolls in comments and they delete it before I get a chance to respond 😂😂😂
@OTRBandit I love it. Keep it going can't wait till I'm out on the road by myself. Hopefully I'll come across you and BIG Blue someday. I'm based in Cincinnati for now
Hi my name is William Edward Lambert, my Unmark is ex military vehicle with diesel 8v 17L main used off road in the desert. You talked about bears, here we got desert elephants. May asked what motor you got in your Peterbilt. I know what war you were in. I was in tail end. My company that i worked forwas too look UN
I love the fact that you, after overtaking go back to the right line as they do in Europe, what should a truck do on the left line? incl on a 5 line motorway!
I know its common practice and some corp numbnuts came up with it as another profit center. company A buys widgets from company B. Company B pays to deliver the widgets and then company A gets to charge to unload the widgets they need for their business. Sounds like bullshit to me! When i owned grocery stores i was always nice and respectful to the truckers that delevered the products i needed to sell to make a living.
We always appreciate people like you my friend. I totally agree about unloading fees. We shouldn’t have anything to do with that. We should just pull up, unload and leave.
I saw your position of your fifth wheel in this video I run mine all the way back to keep the trailer away from the tractor in those super tight places where you are able to touch the trailer out the window mine has a 24 inch slide
For some reason, I keep mine there I don’t know why it would be honest with you. I can’t move it towards the truck anymore because I have generator in the back and if I move it forward anymore, trailer will hit the generator.
Hey brother, Who cares what anyone says about the caves I been in there too it's tight sometimes people think they know everything what you should do instead of minding their own business stay safe bro
I saw you turn on to hwy 72 going to Alabama last video and I like the way you speak on RUclips piss on the rest of them you sound like manney on Scarface
Hey bud. Do you have to pay for every load to be unloaded? If so, I would imagine that's factored in to what the load pays? How does that work exactly? Anxiously awaiting your next video, reefer load 👍
Good morning brother. Sometimes I pay for lumper, but I am always reimbursed by a broker. Because lumper charges are not drivers responsibility. But most of the time broker pays for that. And only big distribution centers that deal with food and stuff have lumpers. Most of the smaller places where I went to so far do not have any kind of lumper. So far the cheapest lumper service is at Aldi’s distribution center. Last night I paid $60. And the most that I have paid was at Family Dollar down in Oklahoma somewhere and it was like $560. But like I said, I always get my money back.
I'm sure you've already answered this but I didn't find it anywhere what app do you use to get those discounts at Pilot Flying J thanks love your videos
I use RTS fuel card to get discount at Pilot-Flying J. I use Mudflap App to get discount at other truck stops. I think Petro and TA are taking Mudflap as well.

Install some E tracks for straps in reefer, way easier to deal with
I will eventually end up doing that. Because I have always hated dealing with load locks.
nota 10 👍👍

Wait, if you can’t unload a load yourself, then why are they still allowed to charge you $500 to unload it? That $500 doesn’t feed their families, it feeds the company not doing anything!

For example, Texas generally allows the open carry of handguns, and this applies to truck drivers as well.

Therefore, truck drivers must be vigilant in understanding and adhering to the specific regulations of each state they travel through……..just be careful and stay safe.
If you are going to run reefer I recomend E-tracks towards the last 8-10 feet of trailer. Load locks will fall .
I’ve always hated dealing with load locks. I was thinking installing them the whole length of the trailer but that may be too much.
Good luck with the chicken wagon too😂😂😂
Thank you very much. I had a chance to load chicken load or I think turkey load the first day about the reefer up in Sioux City Iowa but I decided not to because you have to drop your trailer and leave. I don’t really wanna drop my trailer and just leave it.
Looking forward to the Reefer Madness - I call shotgun
Hopefully not too much madness, my friend. But I guess we will find out very soon.
There was a movie called Reefer Madness, everyone was stoned as shit LOL@@OTRBandit
@@chefboyrv57LOL I just looked it up. It was made long time ago in 1939
Peterbilt 10 time's beter as a volvo truck...my two favorite trucks is Kenworth w900 and Peterbilt 389 but both of this trucks must have Cat c15 acert 625 😊...bandt I love your truck is a beautiful truck...thank for the video...stay safe brother
Thank you very much my friend. I really appreciate that. 🙏🏼 W 900 and Peterbilt 389 are also my two favorite trucks. I was trying to buy 900 before I bought this one, but I couldn’t find something that worked for me. But also, I am very glad I got this one.
The square tube load locks are much better than the round ones.
Heck yea Buddy you are ruthless Tell him. Like it is. 😂
He kind of asked for it brother. I would be OK if he told me to just buy Volvo but he shouldn’t have brought flip-flops into that conversation 😂😂😂
At least on a good note, you made it home safe even without the shoes lol. Couldn't tell you how many times that happened to me but it happened off the top of my car lol.
My stupid ass lost the second pair on Wednesday 🤦🏻♂️ happen twice but I can guarantee you. It will not happen the third time.
@@OTRBandit it happens to the best of us.
I wasnt going to comment here, but you just said something that forced my hand. As far as someone stealing your MC# and being careful, I can get your MC# just with a few minutes here on the keyboard and that front license plate you have shown in every video. BTW, I have been watching your vids all afternoon, I wasn't going to sub till I heard you say some of the most real shit I have heard on YT in a long time. Keep it real brother.
Super video 🖐️👋👍🥰🇨🇿😉
Thank you very much Pavel 🙏🏼
There are plenty of laws about traveling with a firearm across state lines…..don’t get caught up.
As long as you have your CCW permit and you follow all the states laws, you will be good.
Looking forward to your next one and picking up your new trailer. Change is always a challenge but I am certain you will make this one work buddy. Stay safe out there!
Thank you very much my friend. I am really hoping for the best. But I am a very hard worker and I think I should do just fine doing this.
Old stomping grounds brotha. Lived in Rolla for 5 years driving a truck. Wife and I always went went to Jefferson city fo shopping mall and dinner. Not to bad place to live.
I go shopping there, sometimes too, mostly to TJ Maxx and HomeGoods.
You're cracking me up!
Just swallow the SD card.
😂😅😂😅😂
That sucks about your shoes though.
Gotta do what you Gotta do my friend 😂😂😂 my stupid ass, lost second pair the same way on Wednesday 🤦🏻♂️
@@OTRBandit...😲😲😲
Seriously? A 2nd pair in 1 week?
You must be getting old, like me.
@@richshan529 I am serious buddy. I left both pairs on my step.. Drove about two hours and I tried to get out but there was no shoes. One of them was somehow still sitting on my step and one of them flew away somewhere.
@OTRBandit ...I'm sorry to hear that.
I think you might need a different system so that you don't leave them behind. I realize that you're trying to keep that beautiful truck looking well, beautiful! Stay safe out there! I'll be interested to hear how you do with your new reefer trailer. I run reefer too but I'm a company guy running a day cab locally, out of the suburbs of Philly, servicing ShopRite grocery stores in Pa, De and NJ too. Sometimes they run me out of Gouldsboro too, which means that I can hit NY and North NJ stores too.
@@richshan529 I’ll be honest with you sometimes I miss all that mess over there back east. I used to do that all the time like for about 10 years. I’ve only done Missouri to East over there, back to Chicago, Chicago to Missouri. I’ve been to Philadelphia many times and a few times New York City and Bronx but not with this truck.
shoot id go back to welding if i had to drive a volvo or any of them plastic truck,,,i like them long frame petercars my self ,,,if you cannt run with the big dogs keep ur ass on the porch,hann you can still do dry with the reefer might have to wash it out more
Love this guy!
Thank you buddy 🙏🏼
Another Great video, Thank You
Can you explain why you have to pay the Lumper ? Is it coming out of your pocket or does the freight company you deliver for pay for them ?
Stay Safe Mate, Best wishes from Tasmania Australia
Thank you buddy. Sometimes I pay for lumper but I am always reimbursed for it. I think shipper is covering that cost but I’m not 100% sure. Thank you for watching from Australia my friend 🙏🏼
I never knew about the caves until last year. I was watching on you tube (Trucking with Schmidt) and he had to pick up or drop off a load and he had a W900.
I love watching that guy. I started making these videos because of him.
Great episode Bandit..........
Thank you so much I really appreciate that 🙏🏼
Perfect response my Brother...🤘
He asked for it, I had to give it to him.
The pete and your vois good videos,,,,,,,
Appreciate it buddy 🙏🏼
Dont buy a volvo bandit
@@RicardoGonzalez-ib5rpYou can bet that will not happen anytime soon.
Also thank you for what u do my friend ❤
Thank you as well for supporting truck drivers 🙏🏼
lol less than 3 min in I’m already laughing 🤣
He kind of asked for it 😂😂 he must have not read my other responses to some of them rude comments.
@@OTRBandit sure did 😂
Gotta love the trolls. He probably just mad cause he couldn't afford that nice of a truck or to even operate independently 😂
I love trolls. I’ll check my email and see some troll comment he left. I click on it and it’s not available on RUclips anymore. They probably see my responses to some other trolls in comments and they delete it before I get a chance to respond 😂😂😂
@OTRBandit I love it. Keep it going can't wait till I'm out on the road by myself. Hopefully I'll come across you and BIG Blue someday. I'm based in Cincinnati for now
@@quality_steppa_🙏🏼
Hey bandit, I found your shoes,a perfect fit....yea buddy!
😂😂 I was thinking about going back to try and find them. But I didn’t wanna drive that far back.
I would not mind walking in your shoes but you keep losing yours lol 😂
There’s no shoes anymore. I am wearing flip-flops from now on lol
I've always carried a gun with me.
It’s a must for every OTR driver.
Round load locks and straps are a great combination…
Unfortunately, I can’t use straps just yet. I don’t have logistics posts in my trailer. But I am planning on getting those installed
That would be one hell of barbecue with all that charcoal best of luck with new trailer drive safe
I think there’s all kinds of different stuff in here from Wood pellets, charcoal and lighter fluid so only thing we are missing is grill and Meat.
Hi my name is William Edward Lambert, my Unmark is ex military vehicle with diesel 8v 17L main used off road in the desert. You talked about bears, here we got desert elephants. May asked what motor you got in your Peterbilt. I know what war you were in. I was in tail end. My company that i worked forwas too look UN
This truck right here has a 1998 Detroit 60 series 12.7 engine.
This guy is unhinged, and I just found his channel after watching I got stuck in a cave, yes I watched it to the fullest and it was pretty epic.
I appreciate it buddy. Happy to have you here 🙏🏼
I love the fact that you, after overtaking go back to the right line as they do in Europe, what should a truck do on the left line? incl on a 5 line motorway!
Everybody is supposed to do that. But unfortunately a lot of people don’t.
Another cracking vid as always! What year is your truck?
Thank you very much buddy 🙏🏼 truck is a 2016 Peterbilt 389 pride in class glider edition with 1998 Detroit 60 engine in it.
I know its common practice and some corp numbnuts came up with it as another profit center. company A buys widgets from company B. Company B pays to deliver the widgets and then company A gets to charge to unload the widgets they need for their business. Sounds like bullshit to me! When i owned grocery stores i was always nice and respectful to the truckers that delevered the products i needed to sell to make a living.
We always appreciate people like you my friend. I totally agree about unloading fees. We shouldn’t have anything to do with that. We should just pull up, unload and leave.
Top Video ✌️🤙🤙🤙
Thank you buddy 🙏🏼
I saw your position of your fifth wheel in this video I run mine all the way back to keep the trailer away from the tractor in those super tight places where you are able to touch the trailer out the window mine has a 24 inch slide
For some reason, I keep mine there I don’t know why it would be honest with you. I can’t move it towards the truck anymore because I have generator in the back and if I move it forward anymore, trailer will hit the generator.
good job so smart to buy a truck before 400k!
IRS made me buy it. Made too much money and I had to buy something.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! 🇺🇸Yeah Buddy!
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@OTRBandit You keep me smiling & laughing…So Thank you!🇺🇸
I noticed that quite a few small towns sure have big churches out that way
They really do. Every small town is like that pretty much.
Hey brother, Who cares what anyone says about the caves I been in there too it's tight sometimes people think they know everything what you should do instead of minding their own business stay safe bro
I appreciate you brother 🙏🏼 seems like all these guys can do it better from their couch at home.
@@OTRBandit I know right, super truckers mentality love your videos keep the faith be safe
❤😊😅
Ya buddy another awesome video.
Thank you buddy 🙏🏼
I saw you turn on to hwy 72 going to Alabama last video and I like the way you speak on RUclips piss on the rest of them you sound like manney on Scarface
I I do kind of sound like him now that I think about it. He’s also in that Breaking Bad show but he’s a lot older now.
No thoughts of tri axle trailers. Gives you 60,000?
I never really thought about it to be honest with you.
Thanks!
Thank you very much brother I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Hey bud. Do you have to pay for every load to be unloaded? If so, I would imagine that's factored in to what the load pays? How does that work exactly? Anxiously awaiting your next video, reefer load 👍
Good morning brother. Sometimes I pay for lumper, but I am always reimbursed by a broker. Because lumper charges are not drivers responsibility. But most of the time broker pays for that. And only big distribution centers that deal with food and stuff have lumpers. Most of the smaller places where I went to so far do not have any kind of lumper. So far the cheapest lumper service is at Aldi’s distribution center. Last night I paid $60. And the most that I have paid was at Family Dollar down in Oklahoma somewhere and it was like $560. But like I said, I always get my money back.
Very informative Sir, thank you.@@OTRBandit
@@chefboyrv57 anytime, brother 🙏🏼
Grab me one of those cookies bro LOL
Guy in the Volvo shouldnt say anything afterall hes driving a Volvo probably an automatic as well
You are probably correct my friend. I’m not even sure if they make manual trucks anymore.
I'm sure you've already answered this but I didn't find it anywhere what app do you use to get those discounts at Pilot Flying J thanks love your videos
I use RTS fuel card to get discount at Pilot-Flying J. I use Mudflap App to get discount at other truck stops. I think Petro and TA are taking Mudflap as well.
@@OTRBandit all right thanks yeah I use mud flap I was just curious about the Pilot Flying J thanks stay safe
@@Nolefan1966Not much better discounts than Mudflap . Only good thing about it is showers
@@OTRBandit yeah that's why I wanted the pilot and Flying J and the points to
@@Nolefan1966 I can give you a number from my guy at RTS if you want to try to get signed up.
