Thanks for watching! If you are interested in driving for Crete Carrier, you can call Cassidy at 402-479-2709. Please give them our referral code SLOKEV. We appreciate it! And we appreciate you!!!
You guys must really love each other a lot. Idk if my wife and I could handle each other all that time. 😂
I have been thinking the same since I started following these two.
Lol!! We practiced in the RV. Took some adjusting. It’s like trucking! The road isn’t always smooth, but it’s totally worth it. And…I (Tanja) do get on and off the truck intermittently. 😉
Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Happy to do so!!! Just be sure to click that seatbelt! 😆🤩😂🤣
Glad to see that you guys are settled in at the new job.
With the cat brakes, you should name the truck Morris or Sylvester. 😂
Safe travels.
😜😆😂😂😆🐈🐈⬛😹😻😸
Great vlog. We can see the learning curve. Which is good. Kevin handling it like a pro. Have a good day tomorrow and stay safe.
Thanks Jim!!!
Hi Kevin and Tanja.. I have to say I am not a Red fan nor am I a Freightliner fan. But I am a Kevin and Tanja fan. So I'll overlook the Big Red truck just to watch Y'all's video. It's great to have both of you back in the truck.
On to the next one. Truck Safe.
Awwwww!!! Thanks, Greg!!! We really appreciate your kind words!!! Glad that you’ll still come along with us!!!!
It would be helpful if you got out of the truck to record Kevin backing up to a spot or a dock of that is part of a video that you upload so we can learn from his backing expertise. I will be starting CDL school after Labor Day 2022. Kevin does a great job at teaching confidence and skills in his viewers. Each lot is different. Thank you! All your videos are very informative! Stay safe and good health to both of you. Kevin is so lucky to have a great life and road partner.
Hey there! Thank you! Getting your CDL….That’s great! We wish you all the best for school!! Yes…we have videos showing Kevin backing up from outside. I shuffle it up. Sometimes inside. Sometimes outside. Thanks for watching our channel! Hope our videos are helpful for your journey!!
good ride in the freightliner
Pros and cons. We’ll need to do a video.
@@TheJoyofTrucking ok watching for it
Based on a video " Fire In The Hole"
Always set Your Parking Barake
I’m happy for you both. You always make me smile. Such a sweet couple. My wife and I too are best of friends. I couldn’t imagine my life without her. God bless you and happy travels
Awwww. Thanks!!!! Happy that we bring you joy!!! And glad to hear about your good relationship!! Just like trucking, the roads not always smooth, but oh so worth it!! 😃😆🤩
Welcome to crete and I’m on the Shaffer side hopefully will see u both soon.
👍🤞🤞🤞😃😃
A lovely Florida sunrise! I'm so jealous because my Freightliner didn't come with a cat in the brakes. Maybe your cat will jump out at the next stop. :D
Lol!!!! 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈🐈🐈
Someone please explain what is a cat brake?
Waiting in anticipation for the next video. Keep on trucking.
Coming soon!!!
Rolling down the road ! Looking good you guys :)
Thanks!! 😃😃😃
We were just at Buc-ees in St. Augustine. Have been to the one in Daytona and the new one in Florence, S.C. Buc-ees are awesome.
Except they don't allow trucks 😔.
@@truckingwithj7202 yeah, that stinks.
Ohhhhh. Nice! Didn’t know they had that many in Florida.
Amazing couple.
Awwww…making us blush!! Thank you!!!
My uncle were either kenworth or peterbilt and cab over. Then later on would buy the kenworth anteater style. One truck he had, had the first Cat engine in it and others had Cummins. All stick shifts. He was over six foot 6 inch tall and I was six foot four inches, so leg room wasn't a problem. Plus seeing out front was easier.
Great video.
Thanks!!! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!!
Reminded me of a old Willie Nelson song 🎵 On the Road again. Safe and happy travels
💕💕💕💕👍👍👍
My current truck was like that, smokey even tho cleaned. Turned out most the smell was from bunk air filter not being changed
😮😮😮😮 PS. We’d hoped for a KW too. They only have about 10% KW’s. As you see we didn’t get one. ☹️ But we are actually enjoying certain aspects of the FL. But we’ll cross our fingers for you!!! After 20 years I’m sure you know what you like to drive. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Great watching you two. I start with Schneider on the 5th of July. Looking forward to going OTR.
That’s so bottom of the barrel how much they giving you per mile?
Congratulations!!! We hope you really enjoy it!!! We love seeing the whole country!!! Let us know how it goes!!!
Coming to my home city, hey Kevin and tonya. Stay safe and keep on truckin
👍👍😆😆😆😃😃
Sounds like a nice trip to start with, a little over 900 miles...... 🙂
We were very happy to start off with that!!!
237 number almost a brand new trailer! Drive safe!
Yes! Nice one!
U picking up toilet paper, don’t forget to squeeze the charmin.😂😂
😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😆
Applied today hope to hear something soon. Used you as a driver referral. Hope to see you out there!
Awwwww, Jeffrey…that’s awesome!!! Happy to hear it!! What company are you coming from? Where will you be driving out of? We think you’ll like it! Some aspects very different from Werner, but the paychecks are much improved! We’ll be making videos about it in the future. We REALLY appreciate you giving SLOKEV as a referral. That gives you the honor of being our first referral ever! THANK you!!!! We really appreciate it!!! Hope we get to meet you!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking Been driving for Werner on and off for about 16 years. But it’s changed so much that it’s just not fun anymore want to try something different. I live out west so I’ll probably be based out of the Cheyenne Terminal. Hopefully see you out there one day. Be safe!!
This was a nice video. Again I wish you all the luck in the world. STAY WELL, STAY SAFE!! FRANKIE L.I.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Beautiful sunrise. :-))) Thank you!!! You too!!
Oh my goodness the truck is equipped with the annoyance package hahaha honks non stop when the door is open that’s pathetic I hate that.
Lol! Only if the parking brakes aren’t set. It’s a safety feature.
I had the same problems with the brakes lights Break switch
😮😮😮
Hey Kevin when releasing the fifth wheel from the kingpin make sure the truck is in neutral and then press the kingpin release button then lower the airbags and wait for all the air to go out then pull from underneath trailer
And keep trucking brother!!!
Set the brakes first
Thank you!!! Airbags...nice!!!
I left Werner and went to Marten Transport 💪🏽 Definitely a better choice
Yes!!! I’ve seen some of your videos!!! At Werner and Marten! Happy for you! Marten was a close second choice for us. Thanks for watching our channel!! Good to see a fellow Driver and RUclipsr.
Still crossing my fingers to run into my favorite RUclips trucker couple soon since y'all are now in Florida lol.
👍👍👍👍💕 You are too kind!!!! Let’s hope it’s soon!!! 🤞🤞🤞
More videos of this type
Yup…they’re coming. And there are a lot like this back from our Werner days. Glad you liked it!!!
My 2022 KW T680 does LOUDLY honk the horn if you open the driver door without the brake being set or if you are in gear. It can help you to not forget to set the brake, but sometimes I just want to open the door and look out and can't do that without the horn honking and everyone stares at you. So personally, I hate it that feature. l look forward to the next video!
Oh wow….so they did start doing that in the KW. Thanks for letting us know. And I hear your point!
WHEN YOURE READY TO "CHANGE GEARS" COME TO STEVENS TRUCKING IN OKLAHOMA CITY...😁
Gemini motor transport is even bettee
Thanks!!
I'm on my last round of trips with this company before I go to Crete. Hope I get a Kenworth. Was a tough choice. 20 years here, good people, but money was the motivation. I hope it's a good decision.
Wow! 20 years with a company is a long time!!! We hope Crete fills your expectations!!! We are very happy with our choice. Kevin has significantly increased his earnings and reduced his stress!!! It’s not perfect, but pretty darn good!! What company are you coming from? If you would consider giving Crete our SLOKEV referral we’d really appreciate it!!! Hope we’ll meet you soon!!
#ooooooohyeah
:-)))
Was thinking you would forget and grab the Werner trailer 🤣
Yup!! Gotta really concentrate!!! 😃😆😂🤣😂😆
Love cascadia. Smoother. Lol. I have 2022.....but florida SUCKS coming out. Since I have to book my own loads
It seemed smoother. Until we hit bad roads. Then it’s much tougher ride than in the KW. Weird.
so Tanya why not get a cdl and drive team? increase your incomes
Yes…we get that question a lot. But….Who will do RUclips?? 😉 And it’s just not my cup of tea. And we want to sleep in a vehicle that’s not moving.
Great update. Any thoughts on a truck name yet?
Still contemplating. :-)))
Did someone forget to release their parking break when trying to drop their trailer? It may be from the editing, but it seems that that was the case.🤔
Hmmmmmmm. Not sure….
how's the interior comfort treating you? mine got messed up last November and they can't figure out what is wrong with it. so now I have it overridden I just idle at night. gets nice and frosty after 3-4 hours then I just shut it off for the rest of the time.
It wakes us up too much. Don’t like it. Too sensitive. Will jump on for 30 seconds. Then off. Shortly after on. Then off again right away. Seems to me that would use more gas. And it contributes to bad rest for driver and passenger. 😔
Don't like craptimized idle! Or how much fuel to get. When I stop for fuel I'm filling up.
Saves on time!! That’s for sure!!!
Hopefully you're home. It's hard to find a company to call home.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
2:14 whoop, bouncy, Bouncy? Why it's a Freightshaker
👍
😃😃😃💕
I go to North Carolina to epes transportation july 5 for orientation but one ? Since switching to crete can i get more clarity on driver statement of on-duty hours
Hey there!!! Congratulations!!! Could you rephrase your question please…not quite sure what you’re asking. 😃
Sorry my ? Was on the driver Statement of on-duty hours form
Where is the front facing camera
The forward and inward facing cameras are in one unit mounted in the center of front windshield. We don’t think anyone is looking but when Kevin isn’t driving we cover the inward facing nonetheless. It’s no problem.
What logs do they use? Omnitracs or another company? Just curious.
That use “People Net.”
Feed that cat some of your liver next time. My cat loves liver and braunswiger ♡. So do I, I put some on celery instead of peanut butter--nice snack
Lol!!! Kevin gets all the liver!! Good to see another liver lover. ;-))) Haven’t tried it with celery. Liver pate on celery sounds delicious!! Thanks for the idea! And thanks for your active engagement on our channel!! Really appreciate that!!
Just don't feed them roadkill
@@wolfsquared 😆😂🤣😆
Do you know we’re the other terminals located
Yes. There are 20 of them. Here’s a link. cretecarrier.com/our-locations/
How does the freightliner feels in comparison to the Kenworth
Pros and cons. Freightshaker nickname is definitely earned. Lol! We’ll need to do a video.
the way crete specs them they both are crap
I’m in a kenworth and it rides much smoother and softer.
@@victorbernier4765 thats the general difference between them
I wish that @The Joy of Trucking
Is doing more detailed video about it
Freddy Rigs
Bobby Riggs
You guys are a hoot!!!
were is this truck company u with located
Crete
Crete’s headquarters is in Lincoln, Nebraska. But they have many terminals. Kevin drives out of Deland, FL. 😃
Why don't you new Breed drivers ever dress like a real truck driver.
vacation. I know people that are turning in their Graves right now. You people don't even look professional nowadays. Unbelievable ☹️
Tell us oh wise one what does an old school truck Driver look like? Cause I'm curious?
You’re funny! What do ‘real’ truck drivers wear? I think the company issued t-shirt with the company logo is pretty good. But maybe the wife should throw herself into something leather, low cut, and stilettos? Maybe best not to ‘stereo-type’. Lots of drivers wear lots of different outfits!
@@six-pac2120 Kevin is overdressed if anything.
@@abathens I'm pretty sure that's his point lol
@@TheJoyofTrucking we are supposed to look like the tanker Driver on that movie Thelma&Louise lolol
