[@Saddletramp1200]

Ark & Tenn are about the best there is at screwing up Oversize permits. I have used their name in vain many times. But now I am a member of the "go get it yourself" club.

[@wilreyes195]

Bailey’s a good guard dog she ain’t letting nobody sneak on by.

[@robertesposito9871]

Your truck is looking good

[@classrockin]

This has quickly become a favorite channel Dan. You're such a great truck driver, you work hard making sure loads are secure and I know from experience, that tarping is a pain in the ass! You also appear to be a hell of a nice guy. This is America people, honest hard work by dedicated professionals. Safe travels always to you and Bailey

[@tg9754]

Great job and great looking rig. Stay safe and healthy.

[@curtismcleod5878]

[@gbofarms7936]

The Pyramid used to be a basketball arena for the University of Memphis Tigers and the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team

[@johnhornback7878]

[@sssouth3889]

Another great vlog looking forward to seeing the largest truck stop in the world love to Bailey

[@wendellhagg3511]

Nice looking Load. Thank You for the Video !! H.

[@geo-eu6ro]

Always fun to watch. Bailey looking happy. thanks for all the work putting out great videos 👍

[@mongomay1]

Thanks Dan, Teresa, Bailey and Katie!
take care out there and enjoy the trail Dan.

[@brianbridle951]

Through the eye of the camera your rig looked very clean. Nice aero dynamic load. Just great. The Pyramid started as the Titanic museum, very interesting, though I preferred it when the "Belle" was on Mud island.

[@flyerbob124]

On the west side of that bridge in Memphis are a couple of truck stops were they have had that road torn up forever. Hope they have back together by now.

[@futuregen6931]

Your channel and toll booth jimmy are my favorite truck RUclips channel. Keep the great videos dan.

[@stevepackard8542]

The Dorsey trailer looks good.

[@maxpuppy96]

Plates will slide, I always used chains never had luck with straps, but lots of guys use them.

[@chrisfekete1789]

A good channel to watch for hauling heavy loads is hhtv sergei from Canada guy is awesome

[@ghodgeco]

Hey Dan, thanks for putting out these videos and give Bailey a hug for me. Corgi's are the best!

[@avnut7]

Man, your truck looks beautiful!

[@areyes1979ar]

Hello Dan and Bailey good to hear from you two please keep the videos rolling and be safe out there...

[@joeferreira7382]

truck and trailer looking good Dan ,
For sure Bailey just a happy little camper 😁 For your truck and trailer that's a pretty good lightweight I thought maybe heavy , That flat load is the best load you can haul Looks nice setting on there , always good work dan ,
For sure what the dude told you about you don't chain the load to the trailer you chain the trailer to the load 🤔 Got to think about that one for a minute or two , Looking pretty Sunny down there That's a good thing besides the little bit of rain you had ,
be safe take care yourself DAN

[@waynemajor9680]

SSAB Axis Alabama I loaded there Thursday the 12th

[@fredschell3972]

Dan, you do a great job with your securement and tarping. I was an owner-operator pulling a flatbed for 30 plus years and I can appreciate what you do. You maintain your cool very well in some trying situations. Keep up the good work and be safe always.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Dan & Bailey !!! Thanks for showing the ride !!! Have a good run to IA. !!! 😉🤠😎👍👍

[@larrypate2683]

That was the Mphs pryamid they use to host concerts and the Mphs Grizzlies basketball games there

[@ManMountainMetals]

It was a sports arena

[@jamessimms415]

FSC Trucking does quite a bit of Stryker vehicle hauling from the Midwest North of Chicago to Baltimore & some down South. His latest load heading East topped out @ nearly 84,000 pounds. Give Bailey a hug, kiss, & scratches behind her ears….

[@jamessimms415]

I - 40 bridge had issues late last Summer/Fall. I-40 bridge is the one DOT’s spent tons of money previously to make it earthquake resistant. The I-55 bridge downstream they’ll let fall into the river next big New Madrid earthquake as it’ll cost less to build a new I-55 bridge instead of retrofitting the current bridge

[@geraldlessard7446]

Travel safe, Dan!!!

[@robertduffin455]

Thanks again Dan another interesting video no polities just a working man working hard to make a living in a crazy world
Stay safe on your travels 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@LT.X380]

Interesting load. Drive safely my friend. God bless you 🙏.

[@matthew52407]

Thanks again for another one. Safe travels to you and your copilot. Awesome to see my home town Memphis TN.

[@bmckinney1316]

Great video Dan! You Chan the trailer to the load to keep the trailer from sagging and dragging the ground! Keep making the videos! Bullet Bob from Texas! 🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Dan. Tarp job looks good. I always thought that flat steel rode good. Take care.

[@thewatchmen4920]

Great video Super Trucker Dan. Safe travels 🚛💨💨💨💨

[@albertmartin6298]

Wow that's so cool and be safe out there my friend 🙏

[@simpsonsj]

Memphis Pyramid actually used to be a large sports arena. It was the home of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies upon their initial relocation from Vancouver.

[@bengone3349]

Another good ride with you and Bailey, thanks! I suspect the oversize load rig might have been waiting for permits etc before moving on.

[@jvjoe4376]

Always great to see you posting your content!!

[@ThatguynamedLos]

Great video Dan as usual. I just started driving a curtain side 48ft trailer, love all the tips and watching your adventures. Take care and stay safe out there

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Truck and trailer are looking good, tarping like that is better for the tarp.

[@rmeav8er677]

"good price on fuel". That's a very relative term right now.

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Another great vid Dan , loved some of the camera angles. You always do nice tarp jobs. A nice tarpped load always impresses me. That Doresy is taking care of you for sure. I really like how your large car looks. Always a treat getting to watch your vids. Stay safe. Dan.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

A early video keep them coming from the imperial co California.

[@paulricher5547]

Don't you mean "CCP" of Calif. {

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks Dan great video. Safe travels.

[@Neverdie242]

I loved my prepass, sure saved a lot of time.

[@godsok1]

I have a 379 Pete with a Dorsey 53 step deck and ful of fuel I’m 35500 t thought your truck would have been a lot heavier

[@rmeshr4282]

He’s only 48 inches longer than a standard wheel base.

[@jeffreycrowther1374]

Try 59.000 and 85.5 long

[@antwanwilson5089]

Wow. I was at that same truck stop a week ago.

[@nicemonputhuparampilalfred4727]

It’s me alfred here, I expected my vedio here, which you have taken with you, Iam sad 😢

[@texasproud3332]

Good video seems like when you set your brakes Bailey starts barking lol

[@majorpayne4098]

that is some thick plate steel lol

[@PeterALoch]

would have been nice to see how the steel plates were loaded

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool video Dan 👍

[@billsmith5581]

Thanks for the video Dan….really cool,,,,,,,

[@reggiehowze1891]

Hey Dan. I just came back from Waterloo Iowa. You will take Hwy 61 to Davenport. And I stay on Avenue of The Saints which is Hwy 218 which becomes I-380 north. Stay safe

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

Hey Dan. I used to work for a rental company that rented steel plates. The plates had a special wedge bungs welded in the middle for lifting. Biggest plate was 8x20 and we had the fold up type cranes on the boom trucks to deliver them in the KC area. Oh so much fun we had. Love your videos. Be safe buddy.

[@waynegarrison2481]

Water 8.3 per gal. Die fuel about 6.8 per gal.

[@pitbull4029]

Hey always good too see the good jobs you do tarping the loads that you take the time to do it right for safety, neat it shows you take pride in your work and safety 1st the truck and baily looking good

[@terrylittle]

Watch your fuel tanks and make them secure Dan. I had a buddy loose 200 gallons after he filled up and spent the night at one of his regular truck stops. With the price of fuel right now people are getting pretty brazen.

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good video KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛 🇺🇸 👍

[@dennismckown4951]

think i mentioned this before. ever since i got caught at the Calif scales for being 3000 lbs over-weight. i've always scaled my load prior to getting too far from the shipper. that way i was never over-weight again. being late on a delivery was never a good thing.

[@leonardshutty6516]

Those RGNs I follow another driver who pulls those he's got to get a tow truck to lowe and raise that back axles

[@NorthernMichiganSaweyer]

Great video. I got spoiled lol I run conastoga tarp system and love it

[@qbert4252]

I meet you on I 269 going into Memphis on Saturday

[@kens.3729]

How did Bailey Enjoy 39+ hours with her Papa ? I bet you both did just fine on your down time. 😬👍

[@woodworking5979]

I did high wide and heavy before I had 44 thousand pound rears and an X-L trailer RGN good loads for heavy haul but u gotta sit a lot when u can only run daylight to dark

[@waynemajor9680]

shoot see ya Monday Morning You must be going to ryerson

[@jameswithrow3666]

Watching from West Virginia good videos been watching for a while nice job stay safe

[@richbrannon5562]

@Dan, I am not a truck driver, but I was wondering if it would be easier to use a curtain sided trailer rather than tarping. You wouldn't have to crawl on the load to put on the tarp and you wouldn't have to fold it when you are done.

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Dan some knowledge for you 100 gallons of fuel is 1,000 pounds

[@pcs5852]

Actually, a gallon of diesel fuel weighs about 7.1 lb.

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

@Lynn Rosaasen with tank and fuel it’s ahhh 1,000 pounds I pull a tanker for a living lol. I think I know lol

[@mikewhite1087]

It was called The Pyramid. A failure in a concert venue. Poor sound quality.

[@rayrr2013]

Original the home of the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team.

[@Boraxo]

I'd have the rest of my chains on the front of those plates to stop forward movement. ;)

[@johnvermeer386]

Man I was just wondering what that chain was rated for been seeing alot of vids lately of truckers dying because of that.

[@scottharris5948]

My empty weight is 44380

[@rileygarrett3551]

Hey Dan what are thoughts on step decks keep up the good work

[@rayrr2013]

There sure were a lot of trucks staged for loading at the steel facility. How long did you have to wait?

[@alm4625]

Nice video!! Ready to break 55k subscribers!

[@banjobenson9348]

That is some thick plates ? any rumors of a Diesel shortage ??

[@Pimptorious69]

Memphis Grizzlies played in the pyramid.

[@georgetarabini6552]

How do you decide load placement on the trailer

[@brianludwigjr487]

hey dan how is that Dorsey holding up almost bought one but spec a new east beast 2

[@rmeshr4282]

Who says skate board drivers can’t backup😂🤣🤣🤣

[@mikewhite1087]

It’s called The Pyramid. A concert venue in the it’s day. A poor design in sound quality.

[@pseudorandomly]

Question on that transformer load he parked alongside: I noticed a couple of long thin poles arching over the top of the load; I see this on a lot of heavy-haul loads. What are they for? It kinda looks like they have a thin cable running through them -- do they somehow help hold down the load?

[@neilpuckett359]

Helps prevent getting hung up on an overhead wire.

[@pseudorandomly]

@@neilpuckett359 Thanks!

[@chuckknapp5518]

Cabelas

[@MrBrianbusch]

When hauling steel coils, who determines the positioning (suicide or shotgun), it seems like shotgun would be safer, any thoughts.

[@davidkean1487]

The customer. Depends on their unloading methods.

[@donspeers5248]

What do you pay for fuel

[@joshuahouston08]

What channel on the cb is used on west coast??

[@tollboothjimmytrucking.]

21

[@johngreydanus2033]

Thanks for sharing Dan, great video as usual. There is a channel called SERGEI DRATCHEV HEAVY HAUL that does some interesting loads if anyone interested in that type of thing.

[@davidmcknlght2700]

👍

[@raywilson800]

😃😊

[@chuckyf-u2395]

What's to be proud of 🤔 that's the easiest tarp job ever 🤣😂
