@ripperlipper1016 well thank you, Captain Obvious. What would we ever do with you, goobers, thinking the rest of the world are total idiots and everything goes over our heads ?
During the safety blitz, dot was making everyone pull across the scale and stop. Cop on the ground told me to open my door, if i wasn't wearing flip flops, i could pull on down the road. They had 8 trucks parked in back..lol
I don't mind wearing flip-flops when I drive, it's just that when you get out to take a piss at the fuel island it splashes all over the top of your feet.
Absolutely. Use to drive for TMC back in the day and that was something they got across very quickly. If you were anywhere other than a truck stop on your break or over night you better have work boots. They didn’t even allow tennis shoes. Work boots only.
Yeah I remember when trucking actually used to be FUN. I remember when holding a CDL was something everybody respected, it was something to be proud of. Now it means nothing. I'm almost ashamed to tell people I have one sometimes.
Those are different trucking companies that pull Amazon trailers. Not Amazon drivers (I mostly see them drive daycabs). Your right Ike, I'm an old school trucker and enjoy your channel and these funny videos. The reason why I'm old school, because the truck driving school in November 1989 to January 1990 had old school truckers as instructors. And one instructor told me, the driver seat becomes the classroom and if the wheels aren't turning, you're not earning. So don't feed the bears, keep it between the ditches and keep the sunnyside up. That's a BIG 10-4.
@alanmcmullen9989 you don't have the guts to tell nobody that people are crazy nowadays you can get deleted for hurting someone frail feelings just go about your business and stay on your tree just a friendly advice driver
I work at a large fuel stop. 99.9% of our drivers are the cream of the crop. Top notch. I'd do anything for you boys. I even clean up your crap bags. Do you think that's fair? We've even fed people down and not doing well. Think about others fellurs.
Friendly reminder Ike, once I retire in August 2025, I'll be subscribering to your channel and buying those T-shirts. And maybe I hope to meet ya someday and do an interview?? Because today's trucking industry has so many meatball bonehead truckers. Driving us real/old school truckers crazy. I'm glad you created this channel, Ike.
I'm currently working up in the Red River valley of the county hauling Sugar beets for the Great American Crystal Sugar company! Right now literally thousands of trucks on the roads 24/7 and some of the best drivers you'll ever meet! And Driving Skills you'll ever see ! Every hour is Rush hour but safety comes first ! Only seen one accident in 4 years of doing this ! And the money is good too ! About 400 a day is average take home pay.
I cant imagine nor recall a time i was around a semi truck with flip flops on. I either wear my Marine Corps boots or Red Wings/Danners. I have at least 3 pairs of boots in the truck at all times not counting the ones on my feet while driving.
I don't have a foot fettish. I have a fettish against entitlement & lack of professionalism. My dad watches your videos and he knows that there's more than one OSHA violation regarding uncovered footwear in the workplace. He has been a manager of an industrial equipment business.
I fishtailed on a 55 mph construction zone lane shift doing 45 mph in the rain. Luckily it was a quick back and forth and recentered with no accidents. Scared the F out of me 😅
The only time you’ll catch me in something other than a full on “shoe”, is if I’m done for the day, and am just relaxing. When I’m done like that, there’s no point in me going full shoes, so I’ll just break out my crocs. If you have a problem with me walking from the store to my parking spot and vice versa in my crocs, don’t look at my feet!
I work as a guard at a local Pittsburgh copper mill. I’m going to tell you right now. If we see you wearing flip flops you’ll be told to put on actual shoes for safety sake. You’ll also need a hard hat. All our regular drivers know this
_Having those tandems positioned all the way to the back like that allows the load in the trailer to take over your tractor especially a single drive back to day cab_
You should see when corn bags get picked up in January, offroad mud bogging in semi's is a blast. And lets bring back stomping on toes in the fuel line, i got many hundreds of guys toes back in the day. 😂😂
A good flipflop segment would be called "when heavy things fall on drivers feet when they're wearing flipflops" and then they can't accelerate and brake 😂
They don't teach you lane discipline in any of these large carriers. I had to figure out all the nuances by myself when Schneider threw me on the road solo. Driving 65 is nice, but I just wish I had a little extra on the pedal to pass quicker.
I missed the blitz because the yoke to my rear differential came out and spewed gear oil all over the freeway so my truck was in the shop getting a new diff put on. Shame on the mess!
Professionalism fetish😂😂😂 damn I’ve been trying to self diagnose for years because I love my job with pride even on the bad days and follow the rules and safety protocols. Now I know it’s a fetish😂😂😂 good one Ike
I was out in Wylie, at Fontaine. OMG This driver did the walk of shame as the shipping manager booted him for his flip flops. I wish I had my phone at the time. He was literally told to leave the property until he could provide all the safety gear the company required. No idea what language he was speaking. But Im pretty sure he was not wishing anyone well.
Those thieves in the red truck be like I'm on the telephone I was going to sell you today this ain't available anymore come on and the owner showed up 😂 and we can't steal it
Do Not Enter Without Proper safety equipment! Full pants, shirt, safety glasses, work boots, or your load will be refused! Pickup or delivery!! NO EXCUSES!!!
Was making a delivery to Yakima washington today... Raining pretty good. C.R. England passed me doing 70+. (I was chill at 58). 15 minutes later about 6 staters went by.... a few miles down the road that C.R. England truck had hit a small pickup (not much left of it). Unfortunately the pickup driver didn't survive. Now that trucker has to live with that for life. Slow down in the rain. We all want to go home safe.
I just came thru yakima yesterday,I'm sitting in kent now,but I seen the troopers around yakima where stopping big trucks,I always follow speed limit in wa. It's not a state to mess with the troopers still do their job there and write tickets to us.i can't believe that about england,but one day a England driver was driving down the wrong way on I-20 in Sweetwater Texas and all us drivers where like Wtf man,so ya England needs better drivers 10-4

Real flip floppers dont wear socks.
I think the socks were embarrassed.
Amen!!!
🤣@@sc4538
Sandals and socks. The worst of the flip floppers.
Real flip-flops don't wanna go to work with truckers 😂
At least the jack knife driver made sure his truck and trailer were completely off of the road so he didn't inconvenience any other drivers. 😂😂😂😂
That was not by design. He doesn't have that much sense. A Blind hog finds an acorn every now and again.

@ripperlipper1016 well duh, did you go to college to figure that out?
As an old school trucker, started driving in 1973. Wore flip flops but only in shower room so not to get any foot fungus.
The foreigners who don't speak English is wearing those flip flops out, SMH ; Shame on the mess.
Written on a stall at a truck stop:
"Don't bother standing on the seat
Truck stop crabs jump ten feet".
Yep
Same here almost 30 years in

That's why you wear socks.
The Last Video Of Western Express Sitting On The Get On Ramp & The Voice Makeover Was Just Funny 😂😂😂 , That Was A Good 1 👍✌️

9:50 if there's one place that you should wear steel toed shoes, it's in a cable yard.
Absolutely. Use to drive for TMC back in the day and that was something they got across very quickly. If you were anywhere other than a truck stop on your break or over night you better have work boots. They didn’t even allow tennis shoes. Work boots only.
I never let flip flops in my receiving area!
There's a lot of places like that. I'm honestly surprised any of these places allow it🤔
All receivers and shippers need to be doing this!
Thank you!
I don’t care if you get your stuff….so if you refuse it because I wear FF…..back it goes
BTW F U to all you boomer truckers
Truck running the red light, their excuse is always "I'm too heavy to stop in time"
And they probaly is too heavy u dummy
I come to near stop when I turn anyway. Don't want my load to shift and have it rejected.
Which means you were not in control of your rig !!!!!!!
Does anyone remember the good old days? No SC, no power steering, and no flip flops. 😂
No power windows. No power mirrors.
Yeah I remember when trucking actually used to be FUN. I remember when holding a CDL was something everybody respected, it was something to be proud of. Now it means nothing. I'm almost ashamed to tell people I have one sometimes.
I don't miss bias ply tyres much though.
No Craigslist cowboys
I miss the old days drivers worked together and drivers got off their asses and helped another driver instead of making stupid videos

It's also moved into Loves truckstops,their now selling them😐
It's hilarious how people who have encounters on the road yell at Garmin to save the video and say it with such disgust.

Yea looking for lavender Larry and bend over the tank frank
I Made It Through The Safety Blitz Just Fine 👍✌️🚚
@Bone_Thug Wow , That's Real Ticky Tacky They Looking To Get U On Anything 🤦♂️
Got to have respect for adverse weather conditions.
All this reminds me of how much I DONT miss trucking.35 years and never did do any of this stuff.retired now.
Being retired is the best thing. 45 years in construction and heavy equipment operatoring. I never get bored of doing nothing. 😂😂😂😂
If a trucking company changed it's name to; "WE LOVE FLIP FLOPS". They'd have a line of drivers begging to work for them camped out on their doorstep.

Im governed to 65 mph i honestly cant stand when i spend miles catching up to other trucks and then when im next to them they decide to go faster
Omg this weeks video was awesome didn't disappoint at all
The over entitlement and laziness has completely run rampant here in America.

they say, if you wear socks with sandles. A. - you have ugly feet.
B. - your feet stink.
C. All of the above 🤣

I Gotta Admit My Feet Are Ugly & My Wife Will Say That But I Do Everything In Power To Keep My Feet From Smelling Even I Don't Like That 🤢😂
Just last week; I had to drive through some muddy field just to deliver a load. I put the truck in four wheel drive and drove slowly, no problem.
If being on vacation is being blitzed, then it was an awesome blitz……
Real people don`t wear socks with sandals, who dressed him this morning, the cat?
Hey!!! Come on, my cat is SMARTER than those SLOBS.
It's convenient yet keeps the feet warm don't hate 😊 never wore them driving a semi, though. I would imagine foot cramps happening more often.
I go on a 1 week vacation during the blitz
Same!

The FedEx wasn’t even trying to pass. For some reason UPS Freight, FedEx Freight, and XPO just love driving in the middle lane.

9:00 that's the Kraft drop yard at Springfield underground. Those roof and gutters are really taking a beating lately.
Been there it's not that hard,just some extra attention 😊
Seeing them in flip-flops makes my skin crawl.
Just think, if a driver lasts 3 years at Western Express, they can graduate to swift.

Also anyone remember those air powered wipers? I used to mess with the knobs to get the wipers insync.
Good stuff Ike as usual 😅😅😅
No Flip Flops or Shorts... I wore long pants and Shirts at receiver and shipper. Work BOOTS work well. Steel Toed.
