Really enjoy the videos, good tips for flatbedding. I’ve been a company driver for 5 years, attempting to get my own truck/trailer and do the owner operator thing. Haven’t done much load securement or tarping on such a variety of loads, so you’re helping me out a lot. Keep it up, safe travels.
I’ve been enjoying the summer weather in NYC today. Windows down as I traversed this great city. Got in like a 💨 breeze. Delivered on Long Island then had to pick up in Jersey. I’m not sure there is an easy way to get there from there. 😂 My daughters birth took some sleep 💤 from me and my wife too. Then we took her home and this creature was in our care forever. Had to have this machine with a light wrapped around here 24/7 due to being jaundiced. That 1st week was a non sleep week. Then came my boy and he seemed to hit the ground running 🏃 😂 Be safe...
Living in upstate, NY, some of our, (my wife and I), Southern friends and family can't understand why we don't really like temperatures above 75 degrees! Two weeks ago it was -18 degrees, and we didn't see above 0 temps for a week. It got up to 45 degrees today, and I was taking care of the chickens, & doing chores w/o a jacket, especailly when the sun came out for 30 minutes!
Snap Dale got the flue here in UK can't shift it Still horses to do sheep to get in nearly lambing time plus training for my two border collies Love your sarcasm makes me laugh Take care dale hope your home soon
Welcome to NC I reside in the general area of NC retired from the wonderful Pope AFB or rather what's left of it after the Ft Bragg hostile take over-hehe-I hope you enjoyed "the south"!
(Iowa) Was about 45F this morning when I walked the dog, it is now about 9F (sunset). You might want to stay there. (still laughing about your childbirth tales...6 kids! wow!)
Here in Philly we dodged a bullet from a blizzard , just getting heavy rain, going up to 65 degrees, you ever pick up or deliver in Philly? I like your sarcasm, I’m that way also, happy trails driver!
+s. fitz yes there are some anti-lock brakes on trucks and trailers, jake brakes are not recommended on slippery roads as well as not using cruise control.
Man I wish it was 45 degrees here today. Got off of work this morning in Northern Canada and it was a bone chilling -40 Celsius which is the same for you in Fahrenheit in case some didn't know. That's cold but not nearly as cold as some of the things my wife was saying during her first delivery. Hahaha 🤣
Zackery Moore nope, must be 21 as outlined in every state CDL manual. 18 only applies for those not leaving their state for transport purposes and most if not all companies do not operate that way.
Keep a close eye on the kids with there colds, sadly it been in the news quite a few times this week of kids dying of the flu across the country. Main cause was septis. 10 kids so far across the country sadly from septis caused by the flu.
Yeah that’s gotta suck being sick on the road, been there, hope you get home man. You ever want to get a local gig so you are home every night? I didn’t like OTR , only did it for the road experience, which paid off in the long road because I found a local LTL job,
Here in Calgary it's not unusual to see young girls wearing a parka, winter boots and short shorts in the winter. Of course we are in Canada so......................

Wish you well and happy anniversary! Hope to see you back on the road soon.
LOL. Dale...either your very confident that your wife doesnt watch your videos, or you're a brave man!! The things we men deal with!!
+Phil Harris I say the same thing in front of her. She likes when I make her laugh.
If Dale's wife watches his videos we may not see any more of Dale after this weekend. Lol
+Drew Croslow ;)

Hey does your company hire drives if they are 18 years of age and could you talk about it in your video
Zackery Moore nope, must be 21 as outlined in every state CDL manual. 18 only applies for those not leaving their state for transport purposes and most if not all companies do not operate that way.
Alright well I was just asking bc I am very interested in your company
+Zackery Moore understnlandable.
