  • Trucking With My Dog! | A Day In The Life Of An OTR Trucker
    Since I wasn't able to bring Dakota on my last adventure, and I know how many of you love my little truck dog, I thought I'd make this trucking vlog extra special. Trucking with my dog is always better, as traveling with a pet can help with the loneliness that being an OTR trucker often brings. I hope this video brings you all lots of happiness, and helps to showcase what it's like having a pet on your truck.

    Hey everyone! Sorry my posting schedule isn't very consistent! The unpredictability of the trucking industry makes it almost impossible to get videos out at the same time and day every week.

    I'm 66 now and more or less retired, not really, I can't ever stop driving and they will be hauling my bones out of a cab someday. But this video reminds me of my girl Bailey who trucked with me a few years back and looked much like Dakota. Those were good times and many good miles, and Bailey loved it, she wouldn't even let me open that truck to leave without her being in it. My wife used to say she wished I would treat her like that dog...lol...Bailey passed away at a ripe old age, a day after our last run together. But in all this I just got to say there is no life a dog appreciates more than what we give them as truckers, I know Bailey loved every second of it, and Dakota does too. Have fun and enjoy there should be more of this...

    Nothing wrong with getting your dog from a responsible, caring breeder! If we love our favorite breeds we have to keep them alive, right? She’s beautiful & seems so smart & such a great temperament. ❤️ Keep her shots up-to-date, including rabies/parvo & the shot that keeps her safe from smelling/consuming “shedding” from other animals (any time she goes outside she’s at risk). You may know all these things already, but just in case. 😊 Safe travels & thank you for driving courteously out there.

    I once had 2 Australian german shepherds dropped off at my door back in 2008. We gave one to my sister and the other one we kept. Within 2 months she was up to my knees, and I'm 5'2'. We lost her due to cancer 2 months ago, 11 years old and she was still fetching sticks. Every time I go to my sister's house I always think of my girl.

      I couldn't agree more. I was the owner of a same apt complex years ago and found that the dog did a better job of picking tenants than the credit check company did. A Golden Retriever named Lucky. If she was ok with them, they turned out to be great tenants, if she backed away from them, and she did a few times, she was telling me, watch out, they are trouble. I was in a low income, high crime area, Lucky saved my life more than once. She is in dog heaven now. I miss her so.

    🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑SHELBY PLEASE READ!!!
    I love watching all of ur footage w/ Dakota. I’m a female trucker & have a male GSD Charlie.
    He made a great truck dog! I miss our adventures together. But I want to warn you that those HORRIBLE spurs are called goat’s head spurs and they are the reason he is no longer a truck dog.
    He got into them several times over the years & I was always able 2 pull them out with no problems.
    Then he got a nasty infection that required surgery on both paws.
    It kept coming back & we had to treat him w/ both antibiotics & steroids. The vet told us that he now has a created allergy to them. All b/c a tiny tip of one broke off in his paw one time.
    PLEASE get ur girl some of those booties that they sell in Petco. They will help save her from this. They’re a bit of an adjustment but Charlie adapted to them quickly. (Plus it was hilarious watching him learn to walk in them.)
    They are also great for protecting her feet from hot pavement in the summer and the de-icer used all over in winter. That’s not good for their paws either.
    Good luck with your travels! Keep the shiny side up!

    I have a Blue Tick, Dottie, with me in the truck. She has probably half a million miles she has rode with me. She does the same thing with the stickers and will stop and look back at me and wait for me to get them out. It's become a part of life having her on the truck. If I leave her home everytime i hit the parking break I expect her to be jumping out of the sleeper. The drive up the Columbia River is amazing. One of my favorite places in the world in Multinoma Falls.

    My sister used to truck with her shepherd mix. He was beautiful and big and very protective. He loved children and knew if a person had evil intentions. He scared away alot of creepy and bad people from my sister when trucking. I truly miss that dog. Stay safe and listen to dakota.

    I was driving with my friend in the middle of the night one time and a little girl in a white dress suddenly appeared on the side of the road. My friend said to me "did you see that?" I said nope and drove a little faster.

    Little tip from a fellow Sheppard owner, I've trained my Daisy to only use the passenger door. I know how much they want to follow you, but I don't want her jumping out on the fuel island, or at the side of the road.

    I love it , dogs really are man's best friend , they will follow you or be beside you and are always there to try to comfort you if you start to feel down or depressed . They are truly the best traveling companion you could ever have . We have one here that is part pit , she is my niece's dog but she has had her since she was pup which was about 7 years ago and her antics and playfulness revel us on a daily basis . She wags her tail and it will hit one of her sides then swing all the way around to hit her other side , I don't understand how she takes that because her tail when it hits us is like being hit with a metal rod . But she is not only a part of the family but is actually a family member and lives inside 100% of the time . She even has her own tv and has her own shows that she actually watches but we have to change the channel for her and if we forget she will bring the remote to us to remind us .

    The best thing about having a dog with the in the truck is it forces you to get out and move around.
    Before I started taking my heeler with me I would sit and the truck for days. As a driver we need to get out and walk!

    I know I just missed your Q&A but I just found this channel (It's on the cusp of blowing up I'd think. It's very well done) and the first things that came to my mind:
    1) Do you get any looks or have to deal with comments or attitude because you're a young woman in a very masculine profession? How do you deal with this?
    2) What do you do to pass the time? What kind of sensory stimulation do you consume to not go nuts on the long stretches? Podcasts, Spotify, Audiobooks, etc
    3) Do you have ambitions / plans to move into the Owner/Operator scene and run the business side yourself? If so what's your strategy?
    4) Your editor knows what he's doing. Good on ya dude.

    Once when I was driving in New Orleans and I got lost in the 9th ward. It was after hurricane Katrina so the gps never match the road signs. I stopped at a red light and someone ran out in front of me and jumped on my truck. He started screaming that demons where coming for me and the end of the world was near. Pretty sure this person was on something scared me to death! I'm thankful I was stopped because I was hauling a ship anchor and there was not way I could have stopped.
