I’ll bet you’ll get tons of compliments on the rig cause it really looks amazing !!!
it is looking good truck
That truck is a nice looking Corvette.
You know Dan, just enjoy the heck out of that truck. I could even see your other truck being a seasonal thing if Bigorange doesn't behave right in the winter. I'll bet the comfort of the quarters outweighs any downsides the length might have.
How heavy is that red tarp.
Dan, you're a good dude brother, I am sure everybody here would agree. I have to admit that I smile inside when I see how much you like the NewUsed truck. Not sure how to say this, but in a world of so much bad, and bad people being so blessed, its good to see a hard working man have something they truly enjoy. Very cool.
Boy that tarping is what seperates the men from the boys dan. Thats is some hard work buddy. God bless be safe
Looking good Dan! How are you liking the 18 speed transmission?
Been waiting for this video in the new truck! Happy for you Dan!
I couldn’t tell you how many times I was “that guy with a tape measure” out measuring the load to see if I can use my 4’ tarps or not. Lol. The look on some peoples faces while you’re measuring is priceless since they don’t understand what’s going on.
If there's one thing I've learned after 34 years it's that people always have a reason. May look weird on the outside but from there point of view it's the best option.
@@dominick253 you nail it. 40+ duty been there, don that
Ugly Tarp Jobs should cost the Customer a Premium for the Extra Work and Pain & Suffering.😬👍
Now, all can think, when will he get orange and black tarps...?
Awesome Truck!
One question I didn't see reflective dot tape on your tractor mud flaps. I just got a warning last week for not having some on mine .
At that point I would imagine the cop was having a bad day or just didn't like you. That's pedantic.
he has a nice ass rig, dot aint gonna mess w him
yep, that Dorsey really does make that rig look good
Dan, can you decide how they load your trailer? Also if this was a heavy load how do you know how to spread the weight out to prevent over weight tickets?
Absolutely you decide where it goes. There are pressure gauges for the airbags that can tell you how much weight is on the front and back of the trailer.
Thats a nice trailer but the ones with the tarp built into the trailer that slides back like a convertable top/accordion are sweet...I bet they are pretty expensive though you just unlock it and slide the whole tarp back. I tried tarping for a month..thoes things are NO JOKE especially when they are wet..and their damn heavy. I pull reefer these days..53' standard swing door.
Your trailer really looks nice with that truck Dan , Really nice set up , You're gonna run chicken lights you need another 75 more 😂😁 You're talking matching tarps , I have all kinds ideas with that set up and a little bit of paint work Certain places on the trailer , Baileys really likeing it He really likes being on camera I noticed for sure 😂😂😁 You really know how to do a tarp job for the 1st time doing it 😂😂😂 Be safe take care of yourself Dan , I think it's time to put some 4 sale signs on too trucks seting in your yard 😂😁
I second the needing more chicken lights! That rig would look awesome with matching lights on the trailer!
Hi Dan.. nice vid .. what was that load ? what were those metal things? used for ?
Where is yur frt end nose mirrors both L and R ? U always had them.. most Tdrivers have them. Don't u need those mirrors?
goodluck
Hope all of the truckers get CO2 alarm for their rigs! Is your life worth $18.00 Dollars.
Dan if you stop at Cabelas they have RV and Truck parking where you can use the RV dump site and refill your water tank
Hey, just wondering - with a lift axle on the trailer, why isn’t it made to lift the rear axle, thus giving you better maneuverability?
Lifting the front axle allows you to carry more weight when riding in single-axle configuration. If it were the rear-most axle that lifted, you would indeed be able to make tighter turns, but you'd be sacrificing carrying capacity for that same length of trailer.
@@TR-px9iq It may not change the weight rating of the trailer but it does effect the axle weight just as sliding the tandems on a trailer or sliding the fifth wheel on the tractor. You stated exactly what I'm trying to say here. By lifting the rear axle it shifts the weight to the front axle and transfers some weight from the front of the trailer back to that front axle just like sliding trailer tandems forward. That's the reason for the front axle being the lift axle. Respectfully, Ken
The truck does look good with the trailer. Drive safe out there!
You got the”Fever” Dan. Looks good. Keep on Truck’in.
Looks great Dan! You show everyone that hard work pays off.
Really great looking ride. Never thought you would ever get lights and Chrome. Your the man. Good luck and safe travels.
Just looks so much bigger because of the sleeper. Still looks sweet. So happy for you. You know you like the chicken lights. You can admit it.
Orange and black tarps would look amazing 🤩
Bailey is quite the Buddy and she does a Great job with the Logistics and Route Management.😬👍
With that truck. Make some calls and look to get on Specialty hauling. As the show freight comes back that's we're you would want to be with it. Not looking for F/V freight. Use to be you could get one company's show freight booked. Picked up at the Show booth maker then go do their show freight tour. Vegas / San Diego / maybe then to Atlanta or Miami, then rinse and repeat. The food packaging equipment shows were the best. Especially when they would sell a piece at a show and you got that ticket with it.
You look like a bedbug hauler the wY you was. Padding the front of your load good travels and be safe
That thing looks bitchin’! I’d love to hear some commentary on your thoughts of the new rig, how it handles, manoeuvres etc
Your rims looks brand new-very shiny ✨
Looking and sounding good Dan, the new(to you) Kitty and the 18 are sweet. Thanks for bringing us along.
Your Red “Corvette” Never looked so Good attached to the Beautiful Dorsey Flat Bed Trailer. 😬👍
Don't you have a "boiler suit" or brace and bib for this dirty work?
Don´t know if I noticed what gear you use to tightened your straps? Elbow Grease?😃
And, while typing this, here we go!! Big stick, yepp. Elbow, ohýeah, to the bottom! Be careful with your back when balance ,lifting and turning. Yeee, strong man. Thanks for your knowledge. That Cat burner gives my speakers a good workout in my Volvo😂🤗👍
I have a name if you'd like to name the truck. It is an acyom in honor of your Army service.
DOTTIE: Delightful Orange Truck Totally Incredibly Excellent!
Don't pay those negative comments about length and weight no attention. You run what works for you. But, know this. Still jealous of your truck. I'd take a load weight reduction EVERY time to have that truck.
Dan, love the new truck and she sounds nice!! You give new meaning on the road to "stylin' and profilin'"!!!
Great looken "RIG" hope you have the best of luck with her be safe out there & happy trails Dan, from Prescott AZ.
Yep, need orange and black tarps. Absolutely. 😂🤘🏻🇺🇸
Love the truck, greetings from winfield, al. About 1.5 hours west of cullman. If you run i-22 from birmingham to memphis there is a new loves at exit 14 in alabama with a speedco shop. Thanks for the great videos. Safe travels.
DORSEY trailer is screaming: "I need some chicken lights to match with the truck!"
Yep, definitely needs some more.....but not too much....
I knew someone would say what I was thinking. I also thought there could be more chicken lights down the sides and across the front of the sleeper and even the back..,
@@moondog3162 NO such thing as too much, when it comes to chicken lights.
Dorsey really needs to have Dan stop by again for some more upgrades.
Nice PETE set-up you got there, good luck with it all...I never did flat-bed, but that tarping is a lot of work at times for sure .
Looks great Dan! Proud for you and appreciate the videos. I’m guessing that was a Dorsey trailer “squeak” at the 3:18 mark. Lol.
Awesome to see the new corvette on the road and making money. Great tarp job! Safe travels and look forward to following your journey.
Cluck cluck! Chicken truck!
I bet that's a pain in tiny pilots or tiny rest area's for parking
DAN ARE YOU GOING TO PAINT THE TRUCK WHITE, OR LEAVE IT ORANGE?
That truck and Dorsey is a great combo.
Hi Dan. Now i see why you really bought the orange truck - it matches your orange Dorsey t-shirts ;-) . That extra 44 inches would not be very convenient in the northeast where the roads were built for horse carriages! Truck looks and sounds great it up like a Christmas tree. I had a couple truckers tell me that in Connecticut, they got dinged because a couple of those hundred bulbs were out. May be BS but would not surprise me. Thanks Dan and stay safe.

Looks good Dan! Love the early morning shot with all the lights on. All the best on your maiden run!
You be careful out there, Dan. Your truck/tarp color scheme reminds me of a kindergarten school room. LoL Thanks for the videos. You rock!
Sorry for the noob question - is the padding just so it doesn't rip your tarps? Or is there another reason?
Yes !!! That’s the treat I’ve been waiting for ! Love Big O’ (Orange) with the chicken lights !!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Looking great and comfy with all the added on board amenities
Dan what are your plans with the other two Pete’s?

Give em hell Dan SAFE TRAVELS
You should consider a Sliding tarp, unless you get a lot of those high paying over dimensional loads.
Truck looks great under load. How does the shower work out ? Plenty of room in there for you?
Tarps with your name on them.
How are you liking the shower
Yeah that's a bunch of BS that they couldn't put that stuff on top on the side looks like plenty room
I'm ready to take a nap after that trap job

Matching tarps would look great on your truck but other things are more important , they will come along in time like they always do . keep up the good work ..
SAFE TRAVELS PLEASE AT ALLL COSTS
I'd like to have a Conestoga trailer for loads like that.
Good job Dan. Pete and Dorsey look great. 👍👍👍
we all want to hear that big CAT purr lets go
Nice big 550 pulling good
Nice lights/Nice Truck
Have you ever thought about taking one of those spare fuel tanks and turn it into a freshwater tank for yourself
Hi Dan & Bailey, great to see you on the road again.I enjoy you're videos Nice touches you've done to the corvette. Awesome looking rig. Your sounding pretty chipper. Take care and stay safe👌

That truck is à beauty
The new truck sure looks good hooked to the Dorsey trailer when you get a new tarp have it salmon coloured at both ends to match the truck color and a darker color in the middle .Bailey seems at ease in the new kennel..Happy trails Dan from Sydney Australia.
Next time you buy tarps that would be a good idea
You're a hard worker. U deserve that truck ! Enjoy !
In 8 years of flatbedding, " I loved-hated it" , I only had 8 and 9 foot drops but I can see a 2 in. strap cut to a certain length would be a good solution. By the way , I love the truck, keep her shiny and be safe.
Wow that looks so neat …one awesome rig …enjoy and be safe
i wish i had a sleeper like that, it's a playroom with a shower and a toilet. nice looking too, thanks Dan pull toy here
Would pool noodles work on these sharp edge's to protect your tarp since their long
Dan, I'm so glad to see that you're doing so well as to be able to buy the truck you want. Beautiful rig, gives you more comfort. Less reliant on truck stop showers and fast food restaurants etc.

It's gotta be kinda nice to not have to use other people's showers. Thanks for the video, Dan and Bailey.
Wow now that's a great looking ride or should I say chicken 🐔 truck. Stay safe Dan !
Truck is large af Dan!
The sleeper suites you. Now you can tarp in the rain/snow and grab a shower. Better for comfortable driving. Happy for you. Now bring Teresa. 😄
No more waiting in line for who knows how long waiting on a shower. 👍🏻
Hay Dan that is really nice truck that truck rocks

What's up
More money 💰 more money 💰 more money 💰. 🤣 🤣 retirement seems farther and farther away just saying. I know your loaded. Truck and trailer Looks nice. Stay safe Dan God bless.
Defintely an old Reliable truck. Those O/O baby those trucks. Don’t really haul any weight. I’d sign on with them. Screw that taping madness.
Man!!!, that Dorsey trailer makes that rig look fine!! Safe Travels----
Dan......how do you like Mercer?
I've been hauling cars for 9 years and things are getting very slow, I've never pulled a flatbed, but thinking of bringing my truck to Mercer.
Beautiful looking truck, you should be proud!
Need to add a 14” stainless drop visor and at least 2 more cab lights on top! It does look good tho! Nice ride! Wow! They could have loaded that so much differently, better! That is a lousy job of loading that crap. Could have been done where there were not so many sharp edges and not stacked so high!
Hi Dan, ever thought of putting your air and electrical lines on the back of the tractor going under the trailer? It would give you more walking room behind the sleeper. Love the videos.
The only thing I didn't like about skateboards is tarping. Lot of work then I had to drive 10. Makes a man wore out fast. Dispatch don't care. Nice ride Dan.
Hi
