Give this guy a ton of credit what a patient man. If I where driving a 4 door sedan through there I would have said maybe 70 expletives let alone driving a rig in those tight squeezes way to be wish you luck on every adventure
Please keep the videos coming! I enjoy seeing your adventures! Your comments are pretty thoughtfull as well. Your truck is way awesome&I appriciate your efforts to keep her clean&shiney!
Justin Bush getting excited just raises your blood pressure and no one will ever notice or care anyway, for the few seconds they are in my life isn't worth messing up my day.
Same here, there is no place more confused, and random than DC they just invent stuff while driving. I'm 12 miles out, takes me ten minutes to get there, 45 mins to travel a couple of miles in it!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. You have a great attitude and a mountain of patience. Need more like you on the road. City driving can be a chore and you make it look like a cool breeze! I used to deliver downtown L.A. a couple times a week back in the early 90's, but I'd deliver and pickup before 6am, so traffic wasn't normally an issue. The streets would crawl of homeless people, scammers, drug dealers etc. 5th Street and Alameda around the produce market, I kinda miss it though! Keep on Truckin my man, nice work!
I pay attention to the crosswalk signs too. I love when I time it just right and others pass me like they are going somewhere to only to sit at the light. It turns green when i get close to the intersection and pass them! lol
Mr. Pink I would rather have a short Columbia or cascadia than my 389....for where I have to go....no fun backing and jackknifing retarded alleys in NYC/NJ.
very good video. i worked down around there, back in the late 80's, when the coal fields dried up-in Pa. where i lived. worked for a excavating outfit-right off of beltsville. anyways-when we had a rain day-a couple of us work go out to rt 50-and park-and ride the subway into town back then. didn't cost much to ride in and back. was at lots and lots of the sites on them rain days. memories i will keep my entire life. thanks for showing me that area again. been subbed since i found u several months ago. thanks again.
You’ve inspired me to go back over the road. Has its challenges but I’ve realized that I miss it. Never thought I would, but I do. Thanks for the videos.
Last time I was in DC. Got three parking tickets. One for leaving a truck running while unattended. Reefer unit was running. Next one was parking in a unloading zone. Third was for having a truck in Down Town DC at 7am. One Reefer unit running Two I was unloading but was inside the school with 2 wheeler full of candy. Three How else do you get a delivery down there?? Was driving for Henco Professional Fund Raisers. Delivering candy and stuff to schools. I think those three tickets were over $500. That was in 1986 and never went down town again. Also never did pay those tickets. Being it was a Gelcoat rental truck and trailer. Our company name was not on there. I think the school was on North Capital ST. Keep up the great job. Man that is one sweet ride. I have a 1997 W900L bought. But will not be pulling loads with it. Going to turn it into a toy hauler.
this is my first time seeing your videos love your xplanation of every detail of the truck keep on trucking my friend besafe I've never rode in a semi since my stroke
Have been following you for awhile. Made me a little home sick seeing all of the Washington DC area and the convention center. In 1968-1969 I was stationed with the Navy in DC. I got hooked up with a display company and spent some nights and week ends sitting up displays for companies in different hotels and convention center for conventions that were being held. Loaded and off loaded a lot of those Hugh crates that you showed in the trailer.was a lot of fun and good way to make a little extra money.
Thank you for this particularly interesting video. I have been through the D.C. area several times but never got off of the Interstate highways because of all of the bad things I have heard about the city. Your video has convinced me it is indeed a city worth visiting.
I drive DC everyday must say very nice on handling the big city brother i had to smile when i heard you talked about the crosswalk sign not alot of people know that trick.
I love hearing out-of-towner's prospective of DC... Been here my entire life and can't wait for something different. I LOVE NYC much better. But hey it is what it is. I'm thinking of driving starting next year; wanna see the country
I used to drive around the states with my grandpa and I miss it greatly I’m 21 right now working on getting my cdl to be a future trucker and maybe an owner operator.
Man You have My respect driving in that town. f in awesome!. Looks like that would have been a hard backup with all that crap against the wall.Yes that's a pretty dock looks like all Owner ops in there, usully see a lot of old rusty big carrier trailers in those places.Yes Ill gladly take a week of detention time there!
About the crosswalks. Here in Ontario Canada, when the countdown begins the pedestrians are to stop crossing and allow the traffic to continue so to not get bottle neck. The pedestrians can get a ticket if they are caught crossing during the countdown. Usually they just a warning most times though. I think it's a great idea for the traffic to have time allotted for them to get through without interruptions and it gives you the time to make it through.
Great driving, Great Rig! It's nice to know three are people in this city doing real work, driving here is no joke even in a car. Next time could you maybe pan the camera down so we can see you shifting?
I drive a red 2016 just like yours....I can't be backing in tight areas with my 5th slid all the way back though....especially now that I'm in NJ so much....idk how you back in that tight area, your truck has a 2 foot longer wheelbase than my 389. I'm still adjusting to that long nose 🤥
this is so cool! I had no idea the convention center had such an elaborate garage/loading dock type thing. makes sense though, how else would you get all that stuff in and out.
cool video... the way you came out is the way I go in & out of the DC CC... it's the easiest. I do a lot to convention centers, but I'm in a prostar so not much hood to destroy lol

Love that accent "Worshingtin Day Cee" 😆 Keep trucking brother 👌🏾💯
lb lewis thank you
lb lewis brings back memories off my grandmother lol
needs to be more people like you in the world
Because trucks are not allowed inside the beltway unless delivery or permits and not very many places receive truckload freight inside the beltway
You're like the Bob Ross of trucking and I love it. Keep making videos I love your attitude wish more drivers were like you!!! Much love and be safe
Came for the truck, stayed for the commentary :)
Please keep the videos coming! I enjoy seeing your adventures! Your comments are pretty thoughtfull as well. Your truck is way awesome&I appriciate your efforts to keep her clean&shiney!
driver, I gotta hand it to you. that's some of the most patient and courteous driving I've seen in a long time. keep up the good work, and be safe.
Justin Bush getting excited just raises your blood pressure and no one will ever notice or care anyway, for the few seconds they are in my life isn't worth messing up my day.
Life is Good, you sir, are the man.
That Forest Gump reference tho 👌🏻😂
I work in DC everyday and you are the absolute first person I've ever heard with anything good to say about the place. Vacation there? Lmfao.
Same here, there is no place more confused, and random than DC they just invent stuff while driving. I'm 12 miles out, takes me ten minutes to get there, 45 mins to travel a couple of miles in it!!
Vacation.....hell no!

Another great video, been enjoying them. I love the look across that hood and that beautiful dash too
I pay attention to the crosswalk signs too. I love when I time it just right and others pass me like they are going somewhere to only to sit at the light. It turns green when i get close to the intersection and pass them! lol
Hey thanks I'm from Sparta Tennessee born and raised. Live in Wisconsin now about 26 years now. Too cold up here. Miss the southern winters.

Changing your name to Big Pete , man that's a nice truck
Upmost respect for truckers man i hated driving a pick up in dc let alone a rig 👍🏻
I live in Md and every time we try to go south for vacation there is always so much traffic around DC
Really nice truck
I got this in my recommend videos and I really thought this was American Truck Simulator😂
Great truck!! But, you are in DC...probably alien bodies, and a disassembled secret space craft!
I'm from Grand Prairie Texas. Safe travels
Looking good - from Sweet home Alabama
I was born in DC. Beautiful city.
this is so cool! I had no idea the convention center had such an elaborate garage/loading dock type thing. makes sense though, how else would you get all that stuff in and out.
mookie714 you got the behind the scenes tour
SWEET SWEET SWEET PETERBILT SIR... BE SAFE ON THE ROAD ...👊
THATS a nice truck sir
I already knew about the crosswalks lights changing.
cool video... the way you came out is the way I go in & out of the DC CC... it's the easiest. I do a lot to convention centers, but I'm in a prostar so not much hood to destroy lol
David Cox I try and tell everyone to go that way and they just don't listen, maybe now seeing is believing
Life is Good. Yeah ppl gotta learn the hard way I guess lol
That truck and trailer is shiny
Driving that truck is like driving a ocean liner or something lol
Hope I'll see you on the road one day.
All right good show !
I love how the side boxe is mounted within the side skirt.... Makes my Wabash trailer look like a turd.. :-P
