At least your wet roads are all asphalt while my work roads are dirt and rock which turn into mud. Drive safe, in my job they say think about the next 15 seconds.

Hi, well you went by my house again. "Silver Springs" is a state park where the TV shows Tarzan and Seahunt were filmed. It use to be the number one attraction in years past. When you drove through the Forest that is the most populated area in the state for Black bears. Merry Christmas!!
Very nice conversation and safe driving .Appreciated for sharing that road trip video ,your advises and valuable tips.😍 I wish i could live in USA and learning semi truck and over size truck driving.
Well. I was thinking about going to Alaska and Washington state in the spring for vacation and your bear signs have made my decision..lol..Alaska bears..here I come...woop..thks for another great video.
Another fantastic video Both I would like to to thank you for sharing your story’s and journeys with us Have a wonderful Christmas and stay safe on the roads 🫶🏻🇬🇧🫶🏻
Yeah I remember when I was driving at night and I was driving teams .. so on my GPS I would put the Slope/Grade indicator and the other dude would say why I’d put it all the time.. I’d tell him I couldn’t see clearly if I was going uphill or downhill sometimes.. and he’d say “ I can see it clearly” 🤦🏻♂️ and I’d tell him “yeah you fucken jackass .. you’re driving during the day and you can see” 😂 needless to say I’m not driving wit him anymore 😂 sometimes I’d think I was going uphill and I’d be speeding up because of the weight.. then I’d look at the Grade and realize it was a downhill… your POV is so deceiving sometimes 😂
How many times have you guys got people to say they came to Crete through their watching your channel ? Hopefully a few times...... I got my terminal to make me out some business cards and u try to hand them out sometimes
Silver Springs was a tourist attraction with crystal clear water and a number of attractions related to the water. Now it is a State Park. The water is filthy with moss and algea growing in it. Swimming is not allowed because the water is unsafe to be in. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for bringing us along
they used to require like 3-5 (i cant remember) experience. and when i finally decided im gonna come back otr from local, the recruiter (mike in NK) already knew me from a few years prior lol made it very easy. BUT always ask questions, especially the important ones!
Hi Again, the Notorious golden rain tree's a.k.a Koelreuteria elegans ssp.or formosana, Native to northern China and Korea, the golden rain tree was introduced to Florida in the mid-1900s as a fast-growing ornamental for developed landscapes. Fast-growing is perhaps an understatement, as this species is capable of reaching heights between 25-50 feet with a 35-50 foot diameter canopy spread in a short period of time. And as you live in Florida, The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council defines these species as, “increased in abundance or frequency but has not yet been documented directly altering Florida plant communities”. Still, they may become a Category I invasive if further damage is demonstrated. Demonstrating such invasive qualities, there are array of better tree options for your landscape that are both aesthetically pleasing and ecologically-friendly. Hope this help.
so with this clearing house database soon to take effect in ALL states there will be very Many drivers that are no longer qualified because of prior historical mishaps on their record... what do U all know about any of that?

No! 0-6 Crete no go! 6-12 months you will go with a trainer, over 12 months no trainer. Been there done that!
wot does this 'trainer' do ??
@ nothing anymore! Have to have 1 year or more to drive for Crete. Only trainer functions now are retrain screw ups
Why don't y'all have a dog ride along ?
