    As a truck driver(CAR HAULER) for 12 years, I've driven coast to coast well over 100 times. Everything you mentioned here is correct. What a great vid! I would add, we are limited to 11 hours of driving a day and 70 hours every 8 days. There's more detail than that, but that's the basics. Also, he was probably in Chicago for 2 days to perform his 34 hour reset off-duty, in order to reset his 70 hours. Not only do we deliver to dealers and individuals, but sometimes auctions as well. The hours of operation as far as businesses go is the number one limiting factor with what we do. Being capped at 65 or 70mph, etc. doesn't help either.

      And he honestly grasps my industry (trucking) better than most of my fellow drivers and supervisors. He'd love to do a deep dive on the insane loo logistics of LTL trucking, from coordinating 12-15 pickups and deliveries per day per truck to the PRO number barcode system to routing crossdocking, etc. It is honestly a very complex network and the truck is only the face of the industry. Doug seems to really grasp that concept and it means a lot to me.

    As a truck driver myself i relate a bit to this. Truck driving is limited by the Elogs, we have to sleep for 10h straight, then we open our shift and we can only drive 11h out of the 14h window you get when opening your shift. After you drive those 11h or less depending your day, then you go to sleep 10h and then you can begin your next day. Also you can not drive more than 8h straight, so before you reach 8h of driving you have to stop and make a 30 min break, and then you can complete your 11h of driving!

      I dropped off my Honda Accord (the sport 2.0, so it's not like totally boring lol) at the dealer for an oil change and some other maintenance and took a rental somewhere. An hour later I was alerted from my tracking device (T-Mobile sync up drive) that the vehicle was going 100 mph On the highway by the dealership and doing hard pulls and breaking. One quick call to them and it turns out my next several services will be free :)
      Funny thing is they initially told me something wasn't reading right until I showed up at the dealership in the car wasn't there and an employee sheepishly pulled in.

    Hi Doug, I followed you for a long time. I just wanted to say I myself am a truck driver. I personally don’t transport cars. I have transported a lot of things, and through my time being a driver one thing you get used to is being tracked. Most drivers are tracked on a daily basis, whether by our computer logs which is our hours that we are allowed to drive or my phone pretty much every company that ships anything from household goods to cars to raw materials, requires tracking. I love the videos and look forward to the next one eye one day. Also hope to have a nice car until then keep a safe and stay shiny side up.

    I was just thinking about this topic. Dad had a lower priced vintage car delivered to our very middle-class house, but it came in an enclosed Lamborghini branded trailer. After I asked, the driver listed a handful of recent deliveries that were all a few hundred thousand dollar cars. If you enjoy being on the road, it seems like a sweet job to drive all these vehicles (10 feet at a time), see awesome houses, and meet the super rich. My dad was eagerly waiting for the call that the driver was close, so interesting to hear about the stops and timing involved too.

    Welcome to the life of a trucker, Doug. When I'm fully loaded, it can take me upwards of 5 MINUTES to get to 60mph if there's any sort of incline.
    In that 5 minutes, you've already put on 5-6 miles of distance on us. Now add to that the time lost when we get stuck behind a Swift trailer doing 64mph or have to stop and fuel. Fueling plus cleaning the windows and adding DEF can take upwards of 30 minutes at a busy truck stop.
    It really is a slow job. Back before electronic logs (which I support, btw), I could run from Louisville, Kentucky to Hookset, NH and back in 36 hours. 16 up and 16 back with a few hours of rest between. Now, it's a mandatory 3 day journey that often becomes 4 with delivery schedules. That's money lost for us and added wait times on loads. But it does make for a safer industry. Too many companies took advantage (and still do) of their employees and ruined the good thing we had.

    I want to clear up some things that Doug mentioned as I’m a transporter with my own company, Pavs Trucking. Yes we are limited by time. 14 hours a shift and within that 14 hours only 11 can be driving so we can only get maybe 500-600 miles in a day. Also trucks don’t make enough money off one car, obviously, so we do stop frequently to pick up and drop off cars. And yes there is no way for us companies to have tracking like UPS or FedEx. Personally I like to call my customers once a day and update them on where I am as communication is everything. Besides I would want that if I was shipping my car no matter the cost. Great video Doug as always!

    I'm a bus driver for a regional/city system.
    Been a fan here for years.
    This is my favorite Doug Demuro, and there's almost no cars.
    Reason being, driving a bus is about the kinds of things this truck route required.

    Well, as an European trucker, I can say, that here in Europe rules are even more strict, than rule in the USA. For instance we can drive 9 hours a day, which we can extend to 10 twice a week. Our working day lenght is 13 hours, which we can extend to 15 three times a week. Respectively our daily rest is 11 hours normal or 9 hours shortened. Weekly rest is 45 hours normal. And of top of that the speed limit is 90 kmh or 56 mph. Of course there is a lot more rules and regulations, but this is simplified version.
    P. S. : Nothing better, than seeing your dream coming true. I wish you thousands of kilometers pure joy and memorable moments with this car! Greetings from Bulgaria.

    I got to scratch a cross country drive from LA to New Jersey off my bucket list just before Christmas. I think my time was 1 day 19hrs.
    Drove a late model Passat across(very comfortable and capable car. Handled the Midwest snow well) It felt like I was playing Out Run in VR!
    I went the northern route and drove through those snowstorms. Saw so many abandoned crashed and disabled vehicles(they got the worst of it!) these were the lowest temperatures I’d ever experienced! (I’m from NYC) Picked up a Colorado hoodie during a gas stop. watched the landscape, the weather and the sky change. It was amazing!
    I’d be curious to drive some of your recommended routes as that won’t be my last time. Here’s an idea, A vid about your favorite places, attractions or recommendations. Glad the delivery went smooth, Cool vid Doug!

    Great story Doug and congratulations again! I bought my mid-engined Porsche from across the country as well tow years ago. Mine is just a lowly 981 Boxster S though lol. Not jealous I LOVE my car!!!
    I looked for six months and found the car with every option I wanted save one- the X73 suspension so I’ve yet to do that, but I have the parts, so soon. Incredibly the car was in Phoenix where my brother lives. He’s been in the automotive industry for over thirty years and went to the dealer to check it out.
    I found it on Car Gurus at a five star rated dealer.
    The dealer had posted more than fifty photos and it looked immaculate. He specializes in used Porsches and Mercedes and arranged the shipping for me.
    He said he had a hard time finding a transport company so I waited weeks. Finally it shipped but it was on top of an open hauler! When I finally got the car it was filthy! Nevertheless it was as good as the pictures implied once cleaned, and ran perfectly. I’ve enjoyed two years and 12,000 miles in my dream car.
    There is nothing like a mid-engined Porsche. I understand the mystique now. My biggest problem now is not spending money on mods for it lol.
    I’m so happy for you and hope you enjoy many years with your dream car as I will.

    I am a truck driver and I applaud you for creating and posting this video. The general public has no idea what all is involved with the trucking industry.
    One thing that I would like to add is that most trucks are speed limited, or governed. The common top speed that you will run into on the interstate is 60-70 mph. And now that you have learned what you described and the top speed limitation, it should help understand why sometimes you fun into two trucks running along side each other for quite some time and it's understandably aggravating to other drivers. But, with the limited time per day you have to work with, the faster truck wants to "keep the hammer down" as much as possible.
    So the next time you're stuck behind two trucks and you wish you could push them out of the way, keep your aggressions directed to the slow truck. If they would slow down one or two miles per hour, the faster truck could pass so much faster and everyone could go on their merry way.
    And the hours are limited to 11 hours of driving. It's a Fedral law. Applies to all states. There are state by state regulations, but those typically are for permit (commonly oversize) loads and some hazmat loads.

That's 827 miles and we were in our late 60's at the time. LONG day. We've since moved to Twin Falls, Idaho and I drove a 26' Penske box truck towing a trailer from Ramona to Twin Falls in one shot. That was a 17 hour day.

    Hey Doug. Big fan. I drive trucks and haul cars occasionally. Yes 11 hrs a day legally to drive and have to shut down for 10 before a fresh 11 to drive again. Now as far as lumbering it depends on where you are, weather and type of roads. Flat out on the west coast somewhere outside of California.. you can ride at 70-75 mph consistently.

  • @Adrian_Adam
    @Adrian_Adam Год назад

    That was super interesting! I have done the cross-country trip alone and do these long distance drives pretty often. The longest I've traveled straight was from Los Angeles (La Canada) to Austin, TX. Just about 1400 miles and 21 total hours; the last two hours were incredibly difficult. I started at 10 pm and drove through the night, which was great because it was amazing seeing all the semi-trucks traveling through inland CA and Arizona (literally miles of trucks lit-up in the night without any breaks between them).
    The truck drivers in the west coast, with what I've experienced as opposed to the east coast, are incredibly courteous. They made quick passes using turn signals and all of them stayed in the right lane, I mean literally the entire left lane was completely open the whole night. It rocked. The minimal grade changes there definitely has some part in that.
