Control the traffic behind you. Glad to hear someone with way more experience than me confirming that I’ve been doing it correctly! Cheers! You just picked up a new sub as well. Thank you.
I been pulling a flatbed for many years, can’t seem to get into anything else I love it! You’re doing a great job the way you work and giving education to others.
Thank you for that valuable information about your truck. As an outsider, we normally probably wouldn't even have a clue about those things that you do on any given day as you go about your day. That is really good to know now. I'm so glad that you have put that out there for us to be aware of. Thank you so much. Tbh the only thing that I was aware of from a Trucker is how much I money I could make from him lol. Opps my bad haha 😂 that of course was only from my past experience with a Trucker at the Truck Stops. When I was a bad girl lol 😂 now I changed my ways when I became a believer, and began serving the Lord. Thank God 🙌🙏🙌
your spot on brother !!! I've always had nice company trucks that I kept shine & polished up, & always teach someone to have respect for my truck !!, I've been out of the truck for awhile now, but I think its time to get back in to it
You always have good content, and you're always trying to teach people that is freaking awesome, and your truck is like anybody that's ever built a hot rod or a Harley. Or anything custom lowered back down whatever
Keep the content coming bro! I got into working flatbed hauling steel. I definitely learned a lot from watching you. Been rocking with you for a while now 💪
I’ve been SUBSIDED to tour utube channel for awhile now. I also remember you doing the rolling video with your little brother. And when first got his first truck. Shout out to him on doing good thing. Stay safe out there..
@@trucking4racecars I read the title and thought yes, yes they do sit in their trucks🤣 im currently parked next to a set of double flatbeds and the driver is definitely sitting in his truck.
Heres another tip. If you or your company still uses Snap binders, wrap excess chain around the binder so the handle cant snap open while moving. DOT could also get you on this if they wanted too. 49 CFR 393.104(f)(3)
no way your in washington thats dope i saw you getting off 167 in puyallup when you were talking about calling a yard that looked like you could turn around in….i just subscribed
What you said was was something you only know because you’ve been screwed before “show them you are ready to be unloaded”, they see you getting things ready. It’s amazing how quickly everyone in a yard can disappear if they get the chance.
I get told this almost everyday as a LTL driver doing home deliveries in a van. And they always say when I get there that they get straight trucks in there not 53
Been flat-bedding for almost 2 years now as a company guy, thinking of becoming a owner op in flat or might even go try car hauling as a company guy before I commit to buying equipment
I had a flatdeck driver the other day wait until I pulled up in the forklift to hop out of his truck and unstrap. Could've easily had it done while he waited for me now he's putting me behind schedule. Boy was I annoyed. I agree, loading and offloading wheb drivers are still in their cab, and a lot of times I'll wait for them to get out. I'm pretty seasoned with a forklift at this point and don't need a spotter but it's still nice to have someone keeping an eye, shit happens and we all know blindspots in some of those bigger forklifts are a nightmare. I've also had drivers get out after I loaded and insist half of the load be rearranged for other customer pickups. Nope, kick rocks, you had 20 minutes to get out of your truck and tell me that.
Flatbed work was great, but when I did it I was dirty and sweaty all the damn time. After loading or unloading and getting back in the truck dirty and sweaty as hell, got old real quick. I drove flatbed in the southeast where it was hot and humid. And the company I drove for ran me ragged.
Hi. Don't give up on this youtube jorney and your work. Be consisten and professional, and the rewards will come, if not on youtube then it will at the job you doing. I have full time job in one company for 18 years now, and I am getting rewards. Nothing to brag about, but everything comes with hard work, patience and a bit of gratitude. God bless you.
just quit my job as a telehandler loading flatbed trucks with steel just like in the video, awesome job but I was looking for a rock truck job or something less stressful.
been subscribed for awhile now, got my cdl cause i was watching your videoes, but still wondering what’s up with the cummins? we getting a give away truck??👀👀
RUclips is tripping. I’ve been following you for the longest. I seen another youtuber said youtube is taking their subscribers. I just checked, and they unsubscribed me from you. I had to resubscribe to your channel. You need to let your followers know to double check and see if they are still subscribed to you.
Hey, I noticed that you don’t roll up your chains. I’m in Australia, most truckies (Aussie truckers) here have small buckets that hold one chain but some of us (myself included) prefer to roll them. I find it easier and quicker when pulling them out next time I need them.
Aye had a banksman killed on a site I worked, before I got there.(I'm on Tower cranes). Managers had site take a 2 minute silence, as a reminder, construction's a dangerous caper. Banksman parked the truck, told him to unstrap. Plan changed and they wanted the truck moved so the Tower crane could unload the steel, rather than forklift. Load fell off the side whilst in transit, killed the banksman alongside.
Oh! Great question! Some times depending on how the load lays out or how the beams are, they’ll make the chain link stick at the edges. So alot of times when you hit the link it will free up the slack in the chain. People not knowing that and go down the road without checking chains.. most of the time when I get to my destination all my chains are still just as tight as when I left!
The videos are very informative. Question about not wrapping chain around binders after you have locked them down. Please go easy on time lapsing of binding. It's an important step on load securement.
I don’t do it but guys definitely should. Not denying that. It saves time and I’m so use to not doing it because of the multiple drop I usually have. And if you don’t bungy them they’ll be hanging 99% of the time they don’t move when I leave them on the deck.
Hauling fuel looks cool but scary! I guess everything can look scary when you’re not fully knowledgeable about said subject.. maybe one day I’ll get under a tank
It took me a minimum of 3 month to start to get comfortable with it. I stay within Portland most of the time so I know the traffic patterns and deliver to the same 40 different locations so it becomes a comfortable routine ish job.
Surely if you're going to take your show wagon to work, you bring a ladder for the chaps to safely get on the bed and you can get up there and sweep the cack off? If that's your trailer, there are integrated ladders on trailers, if you want them. Personally as the slinger who has to unload steel and other bits of cack off wagons, don't bring your precious show wagon to work, this isn't pebble beach. I like a show wagon, to look at. Drag a reefer around instead.

You are not rambling Love you education. What you are saying is the truth.
Bro what's the camera you have on the back of ur ride?? I needs that one!!
question, why do you bang the chain with the pole while tying it down?
Brother, they’re always in a hurry to go to nowhere👍👍👍
You can say that again!
I did flat bed for several years. I liked it. You also got to think about the liability of someone getting hurt while getting and off your truck

Great 360 shots, I don’t like wearing a gopro on my head. It’s a little bit annoying, but sometimes you have to for a greater shot inside the cabin 👍🤝
Yessir! Thanks!
Seen your old blue and white truck today pulling a hopper in Oregon
@@trucking4racecars every time I go to Oregon keep looking for it, but I never seen it
True but depends on the commodity and situation. It’s a few loads you don’t unsecure until you know you ain’t moving again.
Aye had a banksman killed on a site I worked, before I got there.(I'm on Tower cranes).
Managers had site take a 2 minute silence, as a reminder, construction's a dangerous caper.
Banksman parked the truck, told him to unstrap.

Load fell off the side whilst in transit, killed the banksman alongside.

After you tighten the binders, what are you doing when you're hitting the chains? Helping them to settle?
Oh! Great question!
Some times depending on how the load lays out or how the beams are, they’ll make the chain link stick at the edges.
So alot of times when you hit the link it will free up the slack in the chain.
People not knowing that and go down the road without checking chains.. most of the time when I get to my destination all my chains are still just as tight as when I left!
As a new flatbed driver, I've been to a lot of customers that won't allow you to stand outside while load or unload
And that’s fine if that’s the case but that’s very few places
Whats your camera set-up?
Valley ave in Puyallup narrow road as well.
Yea I’m glad that was the non busy end! Lol
For young guys trying to get into the game what would you recommend to do ?
That’s a long answer. Lol
The videos are very informative. Question about not wrapping chain around binders after you have locked them down. Please go easy on time lapsing of binding. It's an important step on load securement.

Nice rig, but no flatbeds for me. Rgn trailers only!
Just curious, does your truck now have a “high flow” emissions system? Sure sounded good!

ALWAYZ gotta watch & knw ppl gonna do Foolish things around trks!!!! It's mind boggling!!!!!😫🤯😬😤😡🙄
Sir, you have a light out. ;-)
what's the color code for the truck I have a very similar color on my motorcycle and truck
i will probably sub but imma watch this video first
edit: thats a nice ass truck imma sub
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂
8:50 is exactly why everybody hates truckers lmao always got an attitude
makes me wanna buy a long nose pete of my own lol
