As a DM for a big company in NW Arkansas, I say you are squared away, Sir. Keep on rollin'.
😃😁👍👍👍🤩Thanks!!!
Jb hunt was doing the Eld crawl 😂😂😂
😆😆😆
I have watched a number of your videos and enjoy them very much. As I watch you backing in to spots so easily, I am remembered of when I started driving in 1970, no power steering with big steering wheels to help you counter act all the weight you were having to overcome. When power steering started to come in and you didn't have it, you had "Arm Strong Power Steering". 🙂
😆😆😆👍Good work out I’m sure!!! Glad you enjoy our videos!! Always very honored when an experienced driver, like you, watches our channel! Thank you!
I miss the engine brake on my Freightliner but I can’t get over the ride quality on this 579!
Lucky guy!!!!!
Nice video. Good job backing into the space. Nice to see how you enter all the paperwork.. Have a great trip.
👍👍👍😃🙋♀️
Do the damn dance before my battery runs out Kevin!
😆😆😆🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽
Another great video as always watching from the U.K. 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it!! You were first comment on video again!! :-)))
West Memphis, great accommodations for trucks. Good you have supervision in cab😊
👍👍😆😆😆
My uncle would stop at his house in Peoria Illinois and bring extra fruit like oranges and once in a while would bring nice looking steaks. He made a special trip to Georgia from the carpet mills that my Dad had wanted, which was very nice to cut out the middle man.
👍👍👍👍
hello, I follow you with great love from Romania🙋
Hello!!!! Nice to see you here!! Thanks for watching!
We don't have to use Transflow, just take picture of bills with our tablet to get payed.
👋👍👍👍
I made a drop in Hermiston, Oregon this morning & as I was driving along 84 E. on the Columbia river I seen the most awesome site 4 bighorn sheep 🐑 along the side of the highway getting their morning meal.The rams horns were huge & the bighorn sheep were healthy 300-450 lbs.Awesome animals.
Wow!!!!! Very cool!!! Haven’t seen them yet while driving truck. But in real time…today Kevin saw several herd of elk in Wyoming. Very cool!!
Elk are a very sacred animal to the native Americans.I used to go elk hunting in Idaho my dads brothers live in various parts of Idaho.If you e ever hunted elk & you put down a bull & once you come up to the downed bull they are HUGE as big as a horse 🐴.
I've been there! Dropped a load of kitty litter there I think. Really nice drive.
Yes!!! It’s some beautiful countryside!!!
Nice trailer
Thanks!

You do realize on Walmart DC lot you are to have headlights on an 4ways on. It has always been that way
Thanks!! Yes.
I was at this D.C. just before Christmas and it was so full. I had to make a spot to park.
I was able to get an empty and be on my way.
The D.C. on the other side of the road is so much less busy. I prefer dropping there.
😳👍👍👍🥰
Bird murmuring!
👍👍👍😆
The DC on the other side of old DC was setup for dry goods only. I was fortunate enough to be one of the first drivers to deliver there when it first opened. Drive Safe..
Thanks for that info!!
🖐️ you two , 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for explaining that!!!!
Good morning goodlucky

Lol when your near Cheyenne, Lincoln, and St Louis it's, Crete Crete Shaffer everywhere
😆😆😆
Just a helpful hint, when reversing u seem to focus only on the driver side mirror for the most part just be mindful to keep that head on a swivel anything or anyone can pop up on that passenger side unexpectedly
Thank you!
@@TheJoyofTrucking you’re doing a great job buddy, and it’s awesome your wife is by your side for the long haul ! Love watching you guys…
@@victoriaheffernan5275 Glad to hear that you enjoy our videos!
Welcome to Arkansas…would be glad to have you here calling The Hogs…it a beautiful place to live but we typically have every season every day…mind me asking what the antennae black round looking device is coming off of your driver outside mirror…?? Radar or something…??
Hey there! Thanks for the welcome. It’s a SureCall Fusion2Go cell booster. 😃
When we moved from Florida to Missouri we had filled 2 pup trailers and after we arrived in a few days they would bring them to our property which is in the boonies. I pulled our equipment trailer with tractor and my wife pulled a small trailer with lawnmower. She had our 3 cats in the back of her car and my pickup was full in the bed and cab, just enough room for me. The roads through Alabama might have been the worst. I know that Illinois roads suck, lived there for 57 years. Missouri roads aren't too bad but it seems as though they can't keep their vehicles in their own lane. We are living in a very small town, the sign doesn't say anything about population, compared to out skirts of Fort Myers.
Hey…same trip as todays road rage video. 😆😆😆👍
hi guys nice 1 as always, Kevin what is that adjacent to your driver side mirror antenna ???? be well be safe guys ....
Sure call Fusion2Go cell phone booster. But we never hooked it up properly. ☹️
Yeah gotta stay under 5mph..I do the same lol..I only live 2 hrs from that corning museum and never been there lol
🚛😁OMG…you gotta go!!!! It’s super interesting!! History, demonstration of working with glass, art, Tiffany’s glass, and…modern uses of glass in all sorts of settings. And afterwards you can head downtown. Looked super cute (better in summer). Where do you live?
If you use yard move you can go 14mph
@@TheJoyofTrucking North of Buffalo
@@wolfsquared our system is 5mph
@@wilE6764 5 for off duty creep, but 15 for on duty yard move
More yard doggin'
Yup…part of the job. 😆😆😆
Great video...wonder where you go for orientation with crete??
Hey there! Glad you enjoyed it. Kevin did his orientation in Lenoir City, TN. We know they also do them in Wilmer, TX and Lincoln, NE. Not sure if they are offering them in more places. But they take care of the cost of getting you there. Check our video history for Kevin's vlogs on orientation with Crete if you want more insights.
Also salt lake city does orientation
Do you have to fuel up where they suggest or can you use any truck stop in their network?
They have a ‘fuel solution’. Meaning they tell you where and how much. But drivers can ask for new solutions if it doesn’t work well or they miss the turn off. 😉
Do you run your clock out most days and then start it up right when your 10 is done?
We do run it out most of the time. No…we don’t start up when 10 is over. Kevin likes to start between 5 and 6 am. So no matter how long it’s been (minimum 10 hours, of course), he’ll trip plan and generally start between 5am to 6am.
Does Crete have 5th wheel release button in the truck or do you have to pull the 5th wheel arm to release from the trailer king pin?
Crete trucks all have the fifth wheel locked down....they go after shippers that over load trailers so we rarely get loads above 44k
All from the comfort of the cab. 😁😁😁
New Crete trucks a have the cab release but if needed you can do the old school fifth wheel puller.
did you end up just picking up insullation :P lol
Stay tuned …😉
Hey Kevin big fan btw and I’m thinking about coming to Crete and im a kenworth man and do you think I’ll have a chance of getting a kenworth at Crete
Hey Frederick! Glad you enjoy the videos! Kevin is also a KW man (and likes Peterbilt too). We’ll be honest with you…Crete only has a few KW’s. Kevin tried getting one but didn’t hold the line like he did at Werner (which got him the KW). So he ended up in the Freightshaker. We met another driver who said he told them he wouldn’t drive anything else and ended up getting a KW. So…the answer to your question is that it’s possible to get a KW, but guess it depends either on luck of the draw or how good you are at negotiating and waiting. We put up with the Freightliner for the benefits that come with working at Crete. Less stress and more money than at Werner. Who do you drive for now?
@@TheJoyofTrucking I’m still at marten right now I started looking for companies that pay practical or Hub miles because I dislike the zip code miles
@@fredrick8947 Yup…that was one of Kevin’s BIG pet peeves at Werner. He figured he wasn’t getting paid almost 10% of his actual driven miles. That adds up!!! Marten was our other top choice, especially because Kevin wanted the KW. But the Zip vs Practical was his reason for choosing Crete in the end. And we hang onto the hope he’ll get a KW at some point. Let us know if you have any other questions about driving for Crete. If you decide it’s a good fit for you, please be so kind and give them Kevin’s referral code, SLOKEV. We’d appreciate that.
12.5 mph

I'm sorry for the late reply and l like to know y'all and where you guys from?
Hey there…Kevin is originally Canadian. Now also American. I’m German and American. You?
@@TheJoyofTrucking I'm from the United States of America and Arizona state small town called tonalea Arizona and I've seen you going on Interstate 40 freeway going north bound and south bound on your you tube channel
@@donovandixson5821 Ah yes! We like AZ. Kevin got his CDL there. Hope you saw the video the other day…South on I-17 with Snow, Hail, Rain and a gorgeous sunset!!! Thanks for traveling with us!
Kevin seems like a very nice guy, but he is not as good to look at like as the view through the windshield .
😆😆😆 Well…that’s in the eye of the beholder. Something for everyone.
@@TheJoyofTrucking Not all of your followers see him as you do, the video should be for the subscribers
@@charlesyell6318 They are for our subscribers. As I said, I mix it up. It’s passenger POV for the most part. A lot of our subscribers are interested in trucking, not just the windshield part. They want to see how Kevin drives the truck. So I film it all. Inside the truck. The truck from the outside. Through the windshield. Sometimes even selfie camera. Then I edit. Lots of variety. There are other channels that do only ‘through windshield’ with their dashcams. That’s not our style.

I like making deliveries to the Walmart DC’s you’re here and you’re out the hassle half an hour turnaround time drop and hook🪝
Yes! Usually very fast, smooth, organized!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking yes 2 bad all DC’s did t operate like the Walmart DC’s.Drive safe out there.
Crete does several Walmart Dedicated. I pulled out of Mankato, Mn.,Cheyenne, Wyoming and several others on a part time basis. I usually did OTR 48. Good Company.
