A few days ago, I finished watching all your videos. For me your shows are therapeutic, because I have been disabled for 31 years. I live with severe pain and seven years ago I was confined to my bed or powerchair. All the disks in my back are desiccated. All this just to say thank you for your above-average videos.
Gotta love it when the shipper calls Mercer to find out where you are; when their ability to load trucks and ship the goods is already running behind schedule?
Some of these shippers don't seem to be concerned with the HOS. You get there on time they screw you and if you get to your destination late you get screwed again. Detention doesn't mean a thing to them. You and Bailey stay safe. 🦮🦮🦮
Should of told the shipper “you need it delivered by 8am? I guess you guys should of factored that in when I called in and said I was here waiting at 12:30. I guess you’ll need to call your customer and tell them, the delivery gonna be late as we took 6 hours to get it loaded.”
Truck and trailer looking clean Dan, Little Bailey was thinking talk about me dad Tell them what's going on with me 😂 For sure hurry up and wait , That was worth a couple 100 Benji's 😎 Be safe take care yourself Dan
DAN LOVE THE VIDEOS.AND YOU SOUND JUST LIKE MY DAD WHEN HE WAS DRIVING.WHEN HE WAS TOLD THE CUSTOMER NEED THE LOAD THERE BY A CERTAIN TIME AND IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT THERE IN THAT TIME.HE WOULD ALWAYS TELL THEM HE WILL GET THERE WHEN HE GETS THERE!!
At one time there existed a rest area on the eastbound side of 74. It disappeared during the couples years of repaving of 74. Wish they would invest in replacing it.
It’s the same old, hurry up and wait. If a shipper receiver can not load or unload a truck within two hours of truck arrival it should be automatic the clocks starts ticking on an hourly rate for truck trailer and driver. Waiting 5 and a 1/2 hours is just way to long. It seems the industry does not want to fix what is wrong. Must be nice getting those really lite loads. I mean fuel mileage is just about everything these days. As I have said before Dan I really like your tractor. Trucking the way you do now is so much better than before. It’s almost home sweet home. Your a lucky guy to truck the way you do. You mostly stay out of the bad truck stops. Having the bathroom and shower right there gives you the liberty to choose where you want to stop. Buying diesel keeps you going to big truck stops. Anywho Dan liked your video, as always professional to the T. Stay safe and have a great day
That’s where I be calling the agent and my coordinator and letting them know about their slow loading process to change ur tea time at the receiver. That one agent there Zabenko was good about getting us detentions time
Did they have an excuse why it took 5 hours to load ? That looked fairly simple to place (more work to strap, but they cold load others while you did that.
Thanks Dan, Teresa, Bailey and Katie. White collar theft, then they expect you to pass it on to their customer. It is like making an appointment and sitting there for hours on a service provider, I walk out and leave, unless an explanation is given. Hope you get the detention pay.
Yeah ya gotta love the folks that take long periods of time to load or unload lol, I don't ever tell folks I get there when I get there but I do say I appreciate elogs though deciding my times if ya know what I mean, ya probably could've been on time 8am if not for elog but oh well its just another day for us in trucking lol, stay safe 🇺🇸
You would think that they would load you on time to get the load there on time but it doesn't work out sometime great video keep up the good work God bless from GA
Dan, do you really feel that you should be paid for detention?? Years before I graduated in 1968, I spent quite a bit of time in detention….and I never got paid for one minute!! 🤔 👍 😁
Hi Dan. I have been watching you a long time. Really like you and videos and now Bailey. Just wondering how you like an 18 speed as you have had 13’s. Pros/cons. ? Thanks for your videos. As retired driver it helps keep me on the road. I miss it.
Great video trucker Dan too bad you had to wait 5 1/2 hours delay time to get loaded. I have a question do you have a hard time finding drinking water at truck stops to fill your water tank with for your shower or sink in your sleeper?
Does Mercer not allow split sleeper birth. If you waited 5 hours off duty to load you only needed seven in the sleeper birth to complete your 10. And make on time delivery.
hey Dan I know u can't or won't get into specifics for obvious reasons but im curious what the deal was with Dorsey on the trailer to mention the name every video
I believe he is sponsored by that company and gets swag all the time to promote the company. Maybe they give him a discount every month on the loan? Though I doubt it.
Freedom Fan 0 seconds ago @Shelby Embry I guess you was never told growing up, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. It's hard not to gain weight as a truck driver because you sit so much and also once you get to certain age literally everything you eat makes you gain weight
Just letting everybody know I drove tractor trailer for 34 years my stomach was the same way I wasn't trying to be mean I was more or less just joking and cutting up with him so mind your own business

My condolences. Back pain is the worst. I pray that you find some relief from the constant pain.
@@dominick253 thank you for your prayers. The Lord has been a constant blessing in my life.
From one Louis to another, I am praying for you.

I'll get there when I get there is my motto.
Exactly!
May God keep you dan. Things must be hectic out there on the road.
Enjoy the vids.
I never hear you say "like and subscribe." I'm guessing you figure, we'll figure it out.
Back in the days of paper logs it wouldn't be a problem. I loved loose leaf logs. Lol
Like I always told the brokers it'll get there when I get it there not a minute sooner. Stay safe out there Dan I'll see you next time.
Dan I always look forward to watching any of your new posts. You and Bailey be safe out there.
B SAFE SIR 🚛💨💨💨💨
My windshield wiper sprayer has been held on with electrical tape for over seven years. When the tape breaks I'll put more on.

In Truck Driving there is a lot of hurry up and wait,Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘
happy Friday night August 26th local time 10 o'clock PM👏🐕WS NC
Why I would love to have extended sleeper. The ability to stay out of truck stops and self contained
At one time there existed a rest area on the eastbound side of 74. It disappeared during the couples years of repaving of 74. Wish they would invest in replacing it.
Dan you look tired and fed up.
Seat belt good you put it on.
Hope you get that detention pay!!!

Safe travels. Give Miss Bailey a hug, smooches, & scratches behind both ears. Do as she says…..

Great to see you and Bailey busy with loads. Drive safe brothr
Really enjoy your videos I watch some other trucker and sometimes they can get a little boring.keep up the work.
I too HATE rattles!
Always enjoy the videos! I run flatbed for a few years and loved it. So, now I live vicariously through you! Keep rolling!! Stay safe!!
Thanks Dan, Teresa, Bailey and Katie.

Alrighty then 👏🤛😊
A lot of my food vendors are hurry up and wait , Tyson chicken in pa. The worst
Had a bunch of those loads in my day, both containers and tankers. (be there at 0800 then find 2 others infront taking 2hrs each to unload. Grrr.
You would think that they would load you on time to get the load there on time but it doesn't work out sometime great video keep up the good work God bless from GA
Thanks Dan
Waiting 5 hours too get loaded, and having too deliver too early they fffed it up nicely, hope you get your detention pay.
DAN GREAT VIDEO YOUR SUCH A BLESSING TO MANY & INSPIRATION BE BLESSED BROTHER STAY SAFE !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Batesville, home of Batesville Caskets.
Thought the same thing.
Safe Travels Dan and Bailey!
Thanks Dan. Take care.
Disappointing when you get some shippers like that - at least as an o/o you have that choice to strike it off your list for the future as you said.
Dan, do you really feel that you should be paid for detention?? Years before I graduated in 1968, I spent quite a bit of time in detention….and I never got paid for one minute!! 🤔 👍 😁
😁😁😁

I stop at that rest area on I-74 at least 2-3 times a week….mm 152….
Thanks Dan and Bailey for the video take care.
Thanks Dan, be safe 👍
When I saw the title I first thought you had been sent to the principal's office ;)
😁😁
How much heavier is your orange truck compared to your white Peterbilt
Where do u get those star veteran stickers u have on side of truck? Thanks
Great video trucker Dan too bad you had to wait 5 1/2 hours delay time to get loaded. I have a question do you have a hard time finding drinking water at truck stops to fill your water tank with for your shower or sink in your sleeper?
👍
Drive all the way there..then PC the load off... theoretically haha.
James Hardie in Peru Illinois is one of those places. I waited 9 hours to get loaded there. Only desperate for a load will I ever go there again
Why would you go back to that shipper?
@@neilpuckett359 exactly
Yea them old muffler baffl we s hav Ed about wore theit
hang in there Dan.....it only gets worse lol
Can you tell us what type of cameras you use?
Did you decide on a paint color?
Does Mercer not allow split sleeper birth. If you waited 5 hours off duty to load you only needed seven in the sleeper birth to complete your 10. And make on time delivery.
I know you don’t talk about pay but what do you think about rates now ? Do you think they are getting better or worse? Be safe
does your truckers path show all the locations of the rest areas
Is that water on the fuel island safe to use other than to fill a radiator?
Where was the load north of Detroit
hey Dan I know u can't or won't get into specifics for obvious reasons but im curious what the deal was with Dorsey on the trailer to mention the name every video
I believe he is sponsored by that company and gets swag all the time to promote the company. Maybe they give him a discount every month on the loan? Though I doubt it.
Another great video brother from the imperial co California.
if you cant pull 48k on the deck its gonna get hard to eat!
About 43,000 is Dan's max with his setup
I am a retired trucker. If wanted entertainment I would stay in truck stops and watch trucker accidents.
whats shaking Dan?
Be 5 an hours late. Stick it to them first
What is detention time? Sounds like you're being punished.
They pay him for the time he had to wait.
🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey super trucker Dan what type is billy your dog
It's Bailey, not Billie.
@@johngabrenja1772 oh okay thx for letting me know
Bailey is a corgie
Just letting you know Dan when you get up on your wheels talking about your wipers your stomach is starting to stick out a little more than it used to
You're not nice
Some people that comment should just keep there mouth shut if they can't say any thing nice shelby
