@@TheJoyofTrucking the first time is always the worst that’s the good thing about regional. Is that the longer you work the same region the less often you find yourself going somewhere the first time, but it still happens. I am regional and probably I would say on average once every two or three weeks, maybe I find myself trying to figure out a new place but when I was over the road, almost every single load, what is the first time there I guess maybe if you worked for the same company doing OTR after a few years, you might get familiar
You ever been to General Electric in Kentucky it’s either Louisville or Lexington. I can’t remember which one but it’s a real tricky place the first time you go.
Hello Kevin and Tonya ❤from your number 1 viewer..

I'm your number 1 viewer.. be honor running into u2 on road one day..❤be safe
Yes! We’d love to meet you!!! Your comments are always so complementary that you make us blush! We really appreciate them and all your enthusiasm for The Joy of Trucking! 💕
I’m thinking of coming on board. It will be a change. Most of my driving career has been doing flatbed. Only a short time I did refer. Crete has a dedicated Cisco account they want me on here in southwest Florida. Y’all have any insight on this? Love your videos.😊
Hi Kevin! No, sorry. We have not even heard of that account! 🤔 So you know more than us! We can tell you that we think Crete is a good company. Family owned. No debt. And a lot of opportunities. They do have a reefer division and a flatbed division and of course many OTR or regional accounts. So if the Cisco one doesn’t work out for you, there are many other opportunities with Crete as well. Let us know if you have any other questions that maybe we do have answers to.😉 And if you do decide to apply with Crete, we would be very grateful if you would give them our referral code, SLOKEV. That’s a great way to support this channel. OK, please let us know more about that account or what you decide to do. Have a great day! And thanks for watching our channel!😃🤗
Hey there. Eating lunch and watching my favorite trucking couple. 🎉. Got a question. When fueling up. Do you have to turn off the engine or let it keep running. Thank. Be safe Phil from Detroit.
Hi Phil! What's for lunch? :-) We think it's safer to turn the truck off when fueling. It's also a bit quieter and you're not sucking exhaust right next to you. Other truckers might leave them running, especially if it's hot and they have a rider or pet inside. Thanks for watching! We appreciate your kind words!
I run into this all of the time. I'll usually pull the landing gear crank all the way out so that I'll get the soft setting. Takes a bit longer, but it's not hell on my arms. Also keep in mind that there are yard movers that will raise the height of the trailer so they can get underneath to get hooked up. Saw that a few times...
@@SannarClaus Thanks! Yes. That sounds nice. Our friend, Clydesdale, drives for Leonard’s Express. He gets a lot of those. His channel is Clydesdale Reefer Trucking. Kevin does not like to drive reefer. He also does not like live loads and unloads. He also does not like driving at night or picking up/delivering at night. I think that often happens with that kind of trucking. We have a lot of variety of loads. Sometimes short and sometimes all the way across the country, so it just depends. Luckily there is a lot of variety in trucking, so that everybody can get what they like! ;-) Thanks for watching our channel!
Hey guys good trip. Did y'all know there's a couple from Japan that drives for Crete here in the States? Just found them a couple days ago. Only seen two of their video's so far. Shes hilarious to me. I think she's working on becoming a driver here with him. They are fun to watch. But use your CC button. www.youtube.com/@team-babashi/videos This is to their main YT page. He drives she works the camera. They are the Japanese version of you guys.
@@TheJoyofTrucking uhmm a correction here. My Japanese is a bit rusty here. He drives for Crete for sure. I think she was only visiting temporarily. She said something about going to work. I took it she meant with Crete. And I think the channel is hers. Regardless, they are fun to watch. The latest video. Is them at Iowa 80. Shes so funny seeing everything there. Sorry for the confusion.

Ohhhh yeah! That pesky scale! That was an adventure. Welcomed by a historic battleship! That's cool!
👏👏👏🤩👍😃
Nice Video
Thanks!!! Good to ‘see’ you!
Thought I might have seen you, a red cab Crete carrier off i29 in MO this afternoon, but I guess not. Hello anyway!
Nope. Wasn’t us. But wouldn’t that be fun!!! Bronco meets Kenworth! And we’d finally get to meet in person! 🤗
If it's rolled paper, that's heavy stuff
sometimes but usually
Yes…paper loads are heavy.
Hi Kevin and Tanja
Hello. Hello!
those industrial complexes are always tricky ,
Yup! Good design really can make a huge difference!

@@TheJoyofTrucking didn’t get it :(
Good old georgia pacific I don't need the big ass bridge
😆😆😆
😊thankyou ⛅ have a great day 😊
Thanks! You too!🤗
Enjoyed the video. I can’t believe all those bridges. Have a great day.😊😊😊😊😊
🥰
Great video was only thru that neck of woods a couple times and it was always at night, be safe🎉❤
Glad we got to show it to you! Those bridges are awesome! And we love the ride on I 10. Lots of nature and water views. Thanks for coming along!🤗
Yep you can usually smell it before you get there I know there used to be lone in Canton NC boy could you smell it before you got there
Yup! 😷Stinky!!!
I'm not even a truck driver, but I think these driverless trucks that are on the horizon are a really bad idea. What's your take on them?
We think they still need A LOT of work before they can safely do the job.
What are you all doing this Saturday afternoon 👍
Trucking…😃😆🤗🥰How about you?
@@TheJoyofTrucking Working as well lol
That really stinks of them not allowing you to use their rest room.... I've experienced the same thing when I drove. Does your truck have an APU?
Yes! It should be law that facilities provide facilities!😁 No APU. Apparently Crete is trying them out on some trucks. We’ll see what they decide.
I’m thinking of coming on board.
It will be a change. Most of my driving career has been doing flatbed. Only a short time I did refer.

That was supposed to say Cosco.
Be better if Kevin was shifting gears and not just holding a steering wheel
He knows how. But the company trucks are automated transmission. 🤷♀️
Hey there. Eating lunch and watching my favorite trucking couple. 🎉. Got a question. When fueling up. Do you have to turn off the engine or let it keep running. Thank. Be safe Phil from Detroit.
There aren’t any diesel cops soo..whatever you want to do. There are signs saying to shut off engine,but you won’t catch diesel on fire.

Thank you for a quick response.
You should never crank your dollies all the way to the ground like that makes it rough for the next driver to pick up
My co workers do this.
Annoying and unsafe I've missed the kingdom pin a few times almost smashed cab

Leave a tiny gap on your Dollie’s and than drop the bags on your tractor when pulling out
@@Victoryeds yes sir!!!
+1
Those loads are pretty dang terrible…
@@SannarClaus so is your comment
🤔🤔🤔What are you looking for in loads?
@@TheJoyofTrucking long miles, coast to coast, produce mainly.
@@SannarClaus Thanks! Yes. That sounds nice. Our friend, Clydesdale, drives for Leonard’s Express. He gets a lot of those. His channel is Clydesdale Reefer Trucking.
