Dude, I'm with you. The cops are usually NEVER there when you need them, and usually Always there when you don't. Screw these Snowflakes and Millennials!
Rock on! I travelled for 15 years, mostly in a 4 wheel truck. I always gave the big rigs the right of way because you guys are working just like me, but managaing a bigger piece of equipment, common sense to me. In my opinion, most of the time Cops aren't out there stopping us to keep us safe, they are doing it to make money. They even fight amongst themselves over who gets the best stopping points! So keep up with technical advantages!
I am not a truck driver, but statistically truck drivers are a lot safer than four wheelers. 90%of all truck car accidents are the fault of the four wheeler. By the way I am a old Indiana police officer. Keep our country moving drivers, and be safe out there.
Don't brag about being a cop it's not cool. Cops gave me PTSD and a FAT LAWSUIT. Only cop I'd EVERY give credit to is one who investigates murder, kidnapping, and rape! Get off my nuts about doing 5 over, gdam..
KingsColas I do not know your story, but I assure you I am not one of those hypocrite cops trying to make rank. One I never have stopped someone for something that I have done. I do however have no mercy for drunk drivers. My cousin who was a great guy and role model was killed by a drunk driver when I was in the 8th grade. The bastard only got one year in jail for it. As long as you are not driving like an idiot going twenty miles an hour over the speed limit, I am not interested. I consider myself a peace maker first. I am sorry for your bad experience with law enforcement. Some officers are real dicks. Usually they have poor training and where picked on when they where in school and are now on some kind of power trip. Unfortunately we are humans, with the same flaws as anyone else. Low wages and extremely long hours without compensation. Hours of paperwork for every arrest, hours in court on our days off, always on call 24/7 and dealing with the worst of society, can make anyone hate the world if you let it. Either you do it for the love of helping those who can not help themselves or you should find another career path. Do something for me and go to the closest big city near you and ask if you can go on a ride along. Some departments allow for this and usually are happy to have you. Just see there side of it. There are some very good men and woman out there doing the best they can to keep the public safe. Know your rights and do not let a bad cop get away with it. Report them. Peace to you.
You seem like a very nice guy, and the world def needs more cops like you. It actually brought tears to my eyes. (Prob from my pts) but I REALLY APPRECIATE your time to comment, and nicely at that. Thank u. Also I agree I HATE DRINKING..! Ruined my parents marriage (even tho they still together) my dad comes home whenever he pleases and no one can say anything.. I wouldn't drink if I was forced to. Never mind get behind the wheel drink. So I COMPANY AGREE with you on that. I personally think legal drinking and driving should be 0.0, not 0.8.. Thank you and I wish you the best of luck at work and all most of all, for you to be safe.! P.s. - I think ALL cops should train 1 month small towm, them go big city.. I think only experienced cops about to retire should be small town cops. (Or just let the state police handle it.) Small town cops zero action so they create it.. i live in a smaaallllll town with small town cops with BIG HUGE egos. - I got arrested at 12 years old for assault and battery on a cop! :( He was over 6ft! I'd have to be crazy and stupid..., I was playing basketball. I had a red shirt my friend had a blue one. Apparently on patrol they spotted quote "gang members" at the local high school.... (yea a crippled and blood hanging out, wow! He lied 100%, then thank god he got fired for harassment of 3 girls while I was out on a 5000$ bail. (Charges dropped) phew!!!! That's not even close to the worst!. :( I havent left my house in over 7 years. Im afraid to work. I only drive to pick up my girlfriend. We dont even go out to eat unless shes driving. Just a small example to how my life of horror happened.. Thank the gods for good men like you ! :)
Trucker for 40 years., good videos. Been stopped over the years, sometimes I deserved it sometimes not, but I always was polite and non threating. Both drivers and cops have a job to do, too bad theirs interferes with ours. The first video gave me a flash back to the Smokey and the Bandit days.
Hey! It was brilliant! You truckers have really dangerous jobs. Most don't appreciate the chances you take driving the highways with idiots all around you trying to pass you. You guys deliver OUR supplies!!! Grats!!!
It does not matter what you are doing, you are under no obligation to admit anything and whether or not you had something it's not your responsibility to prove you are innocent, it's their job to prove that you did something they think is unlawful, and you're not required to tell them anything.
I found it great, the original. Who would have thought I would watch a 10 minute video of a traffic stop? But I did because your comments were great! Keep rollin. Thanks.
Good for you fella. Obviously you weren't speeding and you are under no obligation to incriminate yourself. They obviously failed to generate the revenue they were after and you were not implicated in any way. Asside from their equipment 'malfunction', all ended up well ... accolades to you.
I worked in law enforcement and thought your video was awesome!! Its the same game inmates and co's play all day! Win some lose some. Stay safe out there. Cops have a sense of humor too....well some do.
SouthJerseySound , yes that's the only real idiot stunt that the Virginia State trooper did at the very end of this 2nd video. Thankfully, there was no other traffic driving next to him or that state trooper would have suffered more severe consequences, possibly legally as well as tragically, the Virginia State trooper who immediately and without no warning pulled in front of the semi.⚰️ No signals, no lights, zero concern for the big rig just two or three car lengths behind him⚰️👮👮♂️👮♀️🚔🚨🏨🏥⛪🚔🛤️🚛🚑🚨🛑⌛ Oh yeah, I appreciate and have all the greatest respect for all the professional truckers out there doing their job 👍
A NJ Statie got all jerked off at me one day on 195 near Jackson. I flipped him off for tailgating me. I had traffic in front of me and a propane truck next to me. So WTF. When I changed lanes I hung my hand out of the window and flipped him off. We had a somewhat hostle meeting on the shoulder and he finally realized that I had him. So he stamped off to his car and left.
Protecting oneself from extortion racketeers, aka State Police as revenue generating agents. Truckers are screwed everytime they start their truck; see the price of diesel fuel, again extortion. Regular gasoline in my area $3.60 gal diesal $ 4.17, something is wrong folks, not forgetting the tolls on 18 wheels. Love to see all the independent truckers go on strike in bringing country to a dead stop.
Relax my friend. Has anyone seen the hard work that goes into loading and unloading a vehicle carrier? I doubt many of you would last a day doing it. You deliver vehicles all over the country and I thank you for that. You're awesome!
remember most of us are idiots.. and out opinions are worth nothing. dont worry bro.. your just another real person trying to get through life like all of us.. your an okay guy to me. have a great day.. life is just a game and its our job to win..
Lets park our trucks for about a month and then see what these good people think about us then. That wouldn't be good, These people really are not that bad they are just ignorant about trucks and truckers. They don't stop to think about the fact that the food on their table is there because some driver brought it to the store where they bought it. We will just keep doing our job partly because we love our Country and we understand that we are doing one of the most important jobs in our Nation. That's what I think about when iam confronted with the ignorance about truckers.
I drove over the road for 30 plus yrs and always people been crying. I owned my truck.. We should have shut down yrs ago when the cdL,s came around we should hav shut them down when desel got higher than gas. Also when we couldn't hav radar detectors any more. Always woulda coulda shoulda. You all know what I mean pulling a load down the highway is a hardAss job .pay should be twice what it's is . 4wheeler always complain and how did they get the divice they are complaining on. ???
I'm not a truck driver (DUI ruimed my chances) but my dad drove a reefer for 30 yearsainly cross country out of town in an 80s Pete cab over. I really would like to see this happen! Sit it out for a couple weeks watch the panic and chaos!
I am not a trucker but I have all the respect for you guys , not all, but the job you do I give you guys all the room on the road as much as I can , never ride on the side of the truck get past you as fast as I can
Glad you made the second video. Not cool telling trucker tricks of the trade. My Grandfather, my Father, my husband, myself and one of our sons are and have been long distance haulers, heavy equipment haulers and livestock haulers. Some things you keep in the Family of Truckers. Good luck to you!
Stupid people don't understand our job as truck drivers. We drive EVERYDAY ALL DAY. The average motorist speeds, you can all admit that, the radar detector is just something that saves us truck drivers a few tickets, we aren't speed demons, we just sometimes like to do 5-10 over the posted limit going down the highway, nothing life threatening to any other motorists using the roadway. What the guy in the video did is SMART. And if you all could understand our lifestyle (not a career) then you would understand that we will do anything that makes our day a little easier and saves us a little money. We aren't against police, we are just using certain devices and techniques that the police may not understand and agree with. Give this guy some slack, he has a sick looking truck as well.
as retired PO I have to say I actually admire this guy, trying to make a living and not hurting anyone. For sure your calm demeanor also was a factor in the troopers not going apeshit inside your cab. Thumbs up also to the troopers for being professional. Safe driving dude !
I have a linear and CB in my personal vehicle along with ham radio and emergency light being on the fire dept. I always run radar. Just because city or county ordinance allows you to speed with lights and siren doesn't mean the state will bring that it's not a true emergency vehicle. The linear is good for more than just boosting your CB. I'll have to say very well placed. Might take that into consideration. You rock man!
C'mon everybody, This video was made waaayyyyyy back in time 2012!!!!! Give the man some slack ok. I am sure he doesent run with a radar dector any more ok :) Besides I think it is crafty and a lot of work went into hidding the dector :)
Both my Parents were truckers...as is my Brother~in~law ( Sis lasted a little while too !! ) and my Son~in~law...That said ..I gotta lot of love on those roads. Thank you for all the unseen sacrifices and for getting what we need to where it needs to be ! Love the vids...Anne
I would like to say that the truck driver is usually the safest driver on the road. If most of the 4 wheelers knew what we have to go through to get our CDL's they might understand.
5 лет назад
And keep too!! My Bp was a few pts. high and the doctor all but held me hostage!!
It's been my experience that some of these Virginia State Troopers are assholes, good for you. I mean really, having detectors for radar units and stopping you. Good video.
I totally agree with you my friend. I saw a study on Discovery channel a few months back. That said if every truck in the country shut down for 1 full day no loading, , unloading, nothing. that it would take a couple years to catch up.
But anyway you did get one over. I will say there are worse things you can do. This was just wasting your time and the troopers. It was a waste of time to bother you in the first place. Be safe in your travels.
Dude the people with negative comments dont have a cdl and dont even know what your talking about..... ive had one for awhile and totally love your videos!!!!
this is what I got to say because I am a trucker all these people that are coming down your throat for what you did or what they think you should do what would they do if you and your fellow truck drivers decided to take two weeks or even three weeks off when they start crying and there's no gas there's no tires for their cars there's no cars there's no food in the grocery stores there's no clothes there's no nothing because no trucks are on the road to bring it then what would they say about you I hope everybody that listens to this video and read the comments thinks about that little bit of information. just keep driving like you're driving and don't worry about the idiots that make the comments .drive-thru.
Well done, all the way around. I saw the first video too. Thumbs up! I know your job is already difficult then add in the massive amount of state and fed regulations you are faced with, I don't know how you guys still want to drive a truck. I totally support professional drivers like you. Agree too most troopers are good guys. No disrespect to the police either.
I LOVED the video! Most people have NO idea what truckers go through on the road and most of our troubles are usually caused by the four wheelers. Just stay safe driver and make sure you are chaining or strapping all four please :-)
Ok I hate that people put truckers down and down and truckers shouldn't be driving... I tell you right now if truckers wasn't on the road we wouldn't have the things we have law enforcement has a hard on for truckers and it's B S yes there are some truckers that shouldn't be driving but a lot of these men and women that choose the career of truck driving are trying to make a living just like everyone of us
Let's get some facts straight. To serve and protect? It is not the job of the police to serve and protect "the people". It is the job of the police to serve and protect "the state". When people offend the greater good (the state), then it's the job of the police to enforce economic sanctions on the offenders or the people. It's just business. I used to work for the police when I was young. They serve and protect the state, and generate as much revenue as possible to maintain their own independent function.
+darknebula666 - I assume you are replying directly to my previous comment, if so I stand by my comment 100% and I am not quite sure of what convoluted nonsense you are talking about... however I will say that community policing was the benchmark of Nazi Germany for certain. There have been several books written about that very subject and a few obscure movies.
+darknebula666 I think Bourne accidents comment on policing is incorrect as well. I guess he's never heard of a citizen arrest. the police are hired by departments that are run by the states elected officials Ultimately governed by us generals attorney. at least we can say the fed is trying to nationalize the local police and state police departments.
mark Johnson Sorry, not incorrect. Also, when is the last time you ever heard of anyone ever successfully executing a citizen's arrest with prosecution as an end result? Furthermore, I can tell you Attorney Generals don't give rats behinds about anything any police officer does unless it directly effects their office or political standing. I do agree that the feds are/have nationalized local and state departments.
OK I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WERE THE SAME GUY...I JUST SEEN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME...AND HAPPENED TO CLICK ON THIS VIDEO AND SEEN YOU'RE FACE AND SAID "HEY IS THAT THAT GUY WITH THE RADAR...YEP...HEY BROTHER FUCK THOSE HATERS THAT SEEM TO TAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF CONTEXT...SO KEEP ON TRUCKIN,,,LOL
I hold y,all out there every day in high regard...my husband drove for Beverage Cpaital for 44 years and he had the older radar detector and I know if you can beat a ticket then you keep right on .....LIKE A BOSS
Loved this video and the first! I can’t believe people are giving you a hard time about either video but it’s because they have nothing better to do. Be safe out there and have a great day!!
There is nothing wrong with using a device to foil radar using police, IMO. Even in Virginia. It may be against the law in VA, but so what. You idiots talking about him breaking the law, I'm betting most of you have broken so many laws repeatedly you can't count them. Speeding is speeding. Turning against posted no turn on red light is still a violation. Stopping your vehicle with the front end in the crosswalk is a violation, tailgating too. The list is long. I want to make a little black box that is not a radar detector but will set off the VG2s just for fun. Then again, I know what exactly causes it to set off. So easy to make. Might do it just to sell to the masses to screw with VA on it's stupid law.
" I wasn't speeding, I wasn't breaking any laws at the time " YES YOU WERE...you were using a device that is ( ILLEGAL ) therefore...YOU BROKE THE LAW.
Being from Va. I have payed my dues too as my father did and he taught me well after paying my dues. Va. don't play when it comes to speeding or as I call em road tax. Be careful out there truck driver! My Dad died doing what he loved doing, Trucking
What up man. Liked the first vid. F the other 50 percent. Keep on trucking and posting more vids. I too am over the road. Got a few vids myself. You cracked me up on the no seat belt on this vid..lol.. Wishing you fair weather, good roads, a fast trip with a safe return... peace
Not trying to hate on you bud, but I've been in this Industry sometime now and operating your camera like you did inside the cab showing the places where you said the switches were or weren't and steering with your knee is one of the unsafest things you can be doing. At lest do it when your pulled over. Come on man you know better then that.
Kype Jaw , Yes, maybe he could have shown all his bells and whistles later when he was actually safer not driving behind the wheel. Now that does make more sense to me, but I'm not a professional truck driver like him. But I give all the respect to the professional truckers who respects us Lil four wheeler. 100 %
Whether you agree or disagree with this trucker outsmarting the police and not getting a ticket is beside the point. 100% of you that replied, would take a lawyer up on a pro bono offer to get you out of a speeding ticket in court. There is no difference. The trucker just decided to cut out the latter annoying and costly steps and take care of the situation how he felt best. More power to ya trucker man. Good for you.
Okay so let me be clear here, i understand your a trucker and all but when your i nthe state of VA it doesnt matter where you are, in this current video, you are not wearing your seat belt. Now in the state of VA that can be a ticket from a state trooper any day, now Im not saying your not in VA in this video you may be somewhere else but in Virginia that seat belt has to be on.
G'day Mate - I am not getting into the politics of right or wrong - I would just like to know who makes the digital gauges you have. Truck interior looks really tidy and functional so and any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
I got a ticket in VA for 70 mph when I first started trucking the problem is the company truck was governed at 55 and I was on level ground. The old freightshaker would not break 57 on its best day. Being young and new to the game I just paid the fines and let it go so if you got by with a little bit they got someone else to make it up so good for you.. The people that give you a bad comment never drove a truck. Its a hard job and not everyone can do it or even understand it, KEEP ON TRUCKING
As an ex driver, dude great job! Some people will never understand the life of an OTR driver, one that gets harassed on a regular basis , while trying to earn a living and keep USA supplied.. I think it's an awsome display of what makes it great to be an American.
Brother, I love that video. I am a car carrier too and I also have a radar detector hidden, and I am not taking it off, I don’t care what anyone says. I am glad they couldn’t find your radar.
I’m pretty sure that most of the people that made negative comments about this guy they got no idea nor ever will know how life behind the steering wheel of a big rig really is
i drive hauler for 3+ years your truck is the best truck i have seen i would describe it to airplane on the ground i love it i wish i had the opportunity to work with your truck.
I drove for 23 years brother and I personally loved the video Trucker V/S Va State Trooper, You made this old man laugh. Thanks man.LOL
Dude, I'm with you. The cops are usually NEVER there when you need them, and usually Always there when you don't. Screw these Snowflakes and Millennials!
Dude, that's a sweet dash. Love all the digital gauges
I'm all for you man. Good to get one over on them. Good job. I respect truckers.
Rock on! I travelled for 15 years, mostly in a 4 wheel truck. I always gave the big rigs the right of way because you guys are working just like me, but managaing a bigger piece of equipment, common sense to me.

You missed a few items like everything people use everyday right down to the house they live in.

Both my Parents were truckers...as is my Brother~in~law ( Sis lasted a little while too !! ) and my Son~in~law...That said ..I gotta lot of love on those roads. Thank you for all the unseen sacrifices and for getting what we need to where it needs to be ! Love the vids...Anne
Love the gauges on the dash!
I would like to say that the truck driver is usually the safest driver on the road. If most of the 4 wheelers knew what we have to go through to get our CDL's they might understand.
And keep too!! My Bp was a few pts. high and the doctor all but held me hostage!!
It's been my experience that some of these Virginia State Troopers are assholes, good for you. I mean really, having detectors for radar units and stopping you. Good video.
as long as your driving safe, I have a son in law that's a trucker and he has one, but he to is a safe driver. Keep on trucking safely
I totally agree with you my friend. I saw a study on Discovery channel a few months back. That said if every truck in the country shut down for 1 full day no loading, , unloading, nothing. that it would take a couple years to catch up.
But anyway you did get one over. I will say there are worse things you can do. This was just wasting your time and the troopers. It was a waste of time to bother you in the first place. Be safe in your travels.
Dude.. you Rock!!!
VSP here...... thanks for pointing out places we can search. Thank you again. Be safe!!!!
Enjoy that 40k salary you'll top out at! I hope being a paid thug for the state is worth potentially leaving your children fatherless.
bredirish123 thanks for your advice......I live by your words every single day.....you have been my inspiration
Dude the people with negative comments dont have a cdl and dont even know what your talking about..... ive had one for awhile and totally love your videos!!!!
Very nice truck.
this is what I got to say because I am a trucker all these people that are coming down your throat for what you did or what they think you should do what would they do if you and your fellow truck drivers decided to take two weeks or even three weeks off when they start crying and there's no gas there's no tires for their cars there's no cars there's no food in the grocery stores there's no clothes there's no nothing because no trucks are on the road to bring it then what would they say about you I hope everybody that listens to this video and read the comments thinks about that little bit of information. just keep driving like you're driving and don't worry about the idiots that make the comments .drive-thru.
Priceless coming from someone who drives the highway everyday
I like your whole set up in your truck!
im glad you got over on the popo,but you need to wear your seatbelt. sorry to point that out.
Cops don't use laptops while driving?
Jerk
Fred Cummings ,he’s a big boy that wearing a seat belt is for pussies. He’s a super trucker he doesn’t need to wear seat belt.
I thought them hunting the radar detector was funny. But smart on your end
2003SaturnFan you broke the law and you know it bottom line. speed limits are there for a reason not as a joke

Well done, all the way around. I saw the first video too. Thumbs up! I know your job is already difficult then add in the massive amount of state and fed regulations you are faced with, I don't know how you guys still want to drive a truck. I totally support professional drivers like you. Agree too most troopers are good guys. No disrespect to the police either.
I LOVED the video! Most people have NO idea what truckers go through on the road and most of our troubles are usually caused by the four wheelers. Just stay safe driver and make sure you are chaining or strapping all four please :-)
Ok I hate that people put truckers down and down and truckers shouldn't be driving... I tell you right now if truckers wasn't on the road we wouldn't have the things we have law enforcement has a hard on for truckers and it's B S yes there are some truckers that shouldn't be driving but a lot of these men and women that choose the career of truck driving are trying to make a living just like everyone of us
Plead the 5th and let them sort it out.
You truck is real nice, very creative radar detector placement.
Been trucking for 39 years. I think you a cool dude.
Let's get some facts straight. To serve and protect? It is not the job of the police to serve and protect "the people". It is the job of the police to serve and protect "the state". When people offend the greater good (the state), then it's the job of the police to enforce economic sanctions on the offenders or the people. It's just business. I used to work for the police when I was young. They serve and protect the state, and generate as much revenue as possible to maintain their own independent function.
Your Highway robbers is what you are. most of the time you don't have a real reason to pull someone over .
IT should say incarcerate and enslave like it says on the Transformer Police car.
+darknebula666 - I assume you are replying directly to my previous comment, if so I stand by my comment 100% and I am not quite sure of what convoluted nonsense you are talking about... however I will say that community policing was the benchmark of Nazi Germany for certain. There have been several books written about that very subject and a few obscure movies.
+darknebula666 I think Bourne accidents comment on policing is incorrect as well. I guess he's never heard of a citizen arrest. the police are hired by departments that are run by the states elected officials Ultimately governed by us generals attorney. at least we can say the fed is trying to nationalize the local police and state police departments.
mark Johnson Sorry, not incorrect. Also, when is the last time you ever heard of anyone ever successfully executing a citizen's arrest with prosecution as an end result? Furthermore, I can tell you Attorney Generals don't give rats behinds about anything any police officer does unless it directly effects their office or political standing. I do agree that the feds are/have nationalized local and state departments.
nice truck
I know its been a few years but what a great looking cab.
I think you did what any driver would have done. I'm glad you posted it. Stay safe keep it between the lines brother!!!!
OK I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WERE THE SAME GUY...I JUST SEEN IT FOR THE FIRST TIME...AND HAPPENED TO CLICK ON THIS VIDEO AND SEEN YOU'RE FACE AND SAID "HEY IS THAT THAT GUY WITH THE RADAR...YEP...HEY BROTHER FUCK THOSE HATERS THAT SEEM TO TAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF CONTEXT...SO KEEP ON TRUCKIN,,,LOL
I will say this, you hid it well. But in my opinion you had one and you know you did. Congrats for winning the battle this time.
Those videos were epic !!!! But I also have a question.... where did you get the gauges ? I just got a 98 379 and I want those gauges
I hold y,all out there every day in high regard...my husband drove for Beverage Cpaital for 44 years and he had the older radar detector and I know if you can beat a ticket then you keep right on .....LIKE A BOSS
Lol this was awesome!
So,if the law can check our speed,should we not be able to know that is happening?????Whats next ???
I like the classic cb radio. great vid!
Loved this video and the first! I can’t believe people are giving you a hard time about either video but it’s because they have nothing better to do. Be safe out there and have a great day!!
There is nothing wrong with using a device to foil radar using police, IMO. Even in Virginia. It may be against the law in VA, but so what. You idiots talking about him breaking the law, I'm betting most of you have broken so many laws repeatedly you can't count them. Speeding is speeding. Turning against posted no turn on red light is still a violation. Stopping your vehicle with the front end in the crosswalk is a violation, tailgating too. The list is long.
I want to make a little black box that is not a radar detector but will set off the VG2s just for fun. Then again, I know what exactly causes it to set off. So easy to make. Might do it just to sell to the masses to screw with VA on it's stupid law.
Whatever you do, don't make some and surreptitiously attach them to police cars so that their VG2 is always activating and they stop trusting it.
" I wasn't speeding, I wasn't breaking any laws at the time " YES YOU WERE...you were using a device that is ( ILLEGAL ) therefore...YOU BROKE THE LAW.
STFU Douche Bag
write your congressman.
Did you not understand the video? He didn't actually have it, he was going for laughs for the audience. (you, me, whoever on youtube)
Being from Va. I have payed my dues too as my father did and he taught me well after paying my dues. Va. don't play when it comes to speeding or as I call em road tax. Be careful out there truck driver! My Dad died doing what he loved doing, Trucking
What up man. Liked the first vid. F the other 50 percent. Keep on trucking and posting more vids. I too am over the road. Got a few vids myself. You cracked me up on the no seat belt on this vid..lol.. Wishing you fair weather, good roads, a fast trip with a safe return... peace
Not trying to hate on you bud, but I've been in this Industry sometime now and operating your camera like you did inside the cab showing the places where you said the switches were or weren't and steering with your knee is one of the unsafest things you can be doing. At lest do it when your pulled over.
Come on man you know better then that.
Kype Jaw , Yes, maybe he could have shown all his bells and whistles later when he was actually safer not driving behind the wheel. Now that does make more sense to me, but I'm not a professional truck driver like him.
But I give all the respect to the professional truckers who respects us Lil four wheeler. 100 %
Bad trucker 😡
I HAD A CB AND A POLICE SCANNER ON MY ALL MY TRUCKS I DROVE FOR 19YR FROM 1990 TO 2009 .
Whether you agree or disagree with this trucker outsmarting the police and not getting a ticket is beside the point. 100% of you that replied, would take a lawyer up on a pro bono offer to get you out of a speeding ticket in court. There is no difference. The trucker just decided to cut out the latter annoying and costly steps and take care of the situation how he felt best. More power to ya trucker man. Good for you.
Okay so let me be clear here, i understand your a trucker and all but when your i nthe state of VA it doesnt matter where you are, in this current video, you are not wearing your seat belt. Now in the state of VA that can be a ticket from a state trooper any day, now Im not saying your not in VA in this video you may be somewhere else but in Virginia that seat belt has to be on.
All I want to know is where can I read the statute or law that applys to the flesh and blood me...DON'T SAY ALL...I know better
Excluding crimes against another..damage to property..or fraud.
RedDragonStudios1 big deal, even if you had a radar detector, don’t two cop have anything better to do?
"I understand YOU'RE a trucker…"
Good job. Keep on a keeping on.!!
I really like the Dashboard of that truck. Way Way Cool
G'day Mate - I am not getting into the politics of right or wrong - I would just like to know who makes the digital gauges you have. Truck interior looks really tidy and functional so and any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
I respect the truckers, that's how we get the goods... enough said. Keep on trucking Mr.... and all the other truckers out there!!!
hey man where did you get your liner? Ive been looking for one for my CB
I got a ticket in VA for 70 mph when I first started trucking the problem is the company truck was governed at 55 and I was on level ground. The old freightshaker would not break 57 on its best day. Being young and new to the game I just paid the fines and let it go so if you got by with a little bit they got someone else to make it up so good for you.. The people that give you a bad comment never drove a truck. Its a hard job and not everyone can do it or even understand it, KEEP ON TRUCKING
I support what you did, like you said "it's unusual to get one over on them" Good job man!
love your videos, Iam Canadian, our cops r asses as well,u r not alone!!
I enjoyed the video! lol thanks for sharing!
I really liked your video, editing was great also!👍👍
That is a damn nice setup in your truck! Your a techie trucker for sure. What camera are you using to videotape all this?
Good video!
Peace and prosperity!!!!
You've got that cab decked out pretty nice.
Nice rig! Oh, and do speed safely!
no contraband on the front of the truck.....except the big black looking box aka a front radar receiver. lol love it
Greetings from Australia... and Good On Ya Mate!!!!!!!!
you wanna Buckle-Up there Buddy?! LoL... Nice set-up...
Enjoyed your first video. You weren't speeding, so no big deal. Keep on Truckin..be safe, and thank for the update..
You have one hell of a set-up in there!
As an ex driver, dude great job! Some people will never understand the life of an OTR driver, one that gets harassed on a regular basis , while trying to earn a living and keep USA supplied.. I think it's an awsome display of what makes it great to be an American.
a nd get tickets when trying to sleep
good for you. let the critics try to make a living doing your job, under the conditions and restraints you have to operate. koodoos. amazing operator.
Great videos man!! most people that comment have never been in that drivers seat
keep on trucking!!
You Sir, are a keeper. Roll on. Be safe please
Brother, I love that video. I am a car carrier too and I also have a radar detector hidden, and I am not taking it off, I don’t care what anyone says. I am glad they couldn’t find your radar.
I’m pretty sure that most of the people that made negative comments about this guy they got no idea nor ever will know how life behind the steering wheel of a big rig really is
The video did go viral. Your video was the best video ever seen!!
i drive hauler for 3+ years your truck is the best truck i have seen i would describe it to airplane on the ground i love it i wish i had the opportunity to work with your truck.
Looks like you had your CB upgraded and modded ,nice little 2 transistor amp.....peace.....
