Dave, the first person to say "That's Trucking Dave LOL" was Jeff Moore on your "I got lost in a trailer maze..." video on June 15, 2020
I love how dispatch leaves you completely in the dark.
Those portals are for capturing pictures of the container and chassis making sure the box numbers are right and no damages
I love those crane trucks carrying the shipping crates they always look cool. Thanks for the video Dave!
Yeah they were really neat to watch, I liked em too.
@@RidingWithDave you can put a new shirt out says (I'm Lost) on the front of it
@@jerrysmith4974 Or "I need an adult!" 😆
They should have let that Migway truck stay in line but when he got up to the place to unload tell him "we weren't expecting your load, you must not have checked in with the escort, you have to go back to the place where you wait for the escort truck". Basically let him wait in line then force him to go back and do it again since he tried to jump in the line. That's how you get people to follow the procedures, what they did just rewarded and reinforced his bad behavior
My teacher once worked for a company (can't remeber the name, it was in Denmark) that was known for having long wait times for truckers.
It came down to them not having set times for trucks showing and the loads in the trucks were often not placed in order of unload (multiple dropoffs for different companies in them).
One time he turned away a truck who had turned up in their timeslot, however the load was not packed in order, so he told him to drive off and get it fixed before coming back. When he did come back he got turned away, because it was more than an hour past his timeslot. The trucker was pissed because he had to wait for the next day, but there was not any problems in the future and the truckers liked the place afterwards.
In Denmark if you move the pallets which are not part of your order and you damage them, you will be responisble for replacing it. The truck were unloaded from the rear, so no way to skip them.
This what I’m talking about 40 min video from rwd 😮
It's not a coincidence if westrock and that port are right next to each other and that you guys were unloading paper rolls. I work at a printing shop and the biggest challenge is storage space. So most likely these loads are for westrock, but they have them unloaded and transfered into containers for storage. Then, when they need the paper load, they probably send a yard dog with the container over to westrock.
Yep that’s another reason I wanted to try westrock because it just made sense with the load lol.
@@RidingWithDave another RUclips driver RebelDan had a bad experience with that same port just recently. He was trying to locate a load to pick up. He was stuck there overnight, I believe, and they eventually found that the load hadn’t cleared customs so it was cancelled.
Get a twic id Dave, you'll save so much time and frustration at ports. And where you see those containers going in is where you'd go if you had twic. And yes the escort stays with the trucks the entirety of the load/unload
TWIC also gets you into pre check lines for TSA at airports and gives you a background discount if you decide to get a hazmat endorsement. A few years ago the government combined all 3 federal background checks. I’ve used my TWIC card at DFW for TSA pre check. And when I was updating my license the office told me about the cost reduction because I asked about testing requirements and fees.
I thought the twic card is cheaper if you already have your hazmat
It's always a fun time when you have to go into a port. The container movers your seeing moving the containers, is a container handler. It's basically a glorified forklift model to too lift containers
The biggest pain picking up at a port is the security. The rest of it has always been very quick and easy even my live loads! I've picked up tractors, lawn mowers even cars from the port in Virginia.
The laugh and giggles make the video fun for me I truly love you bud. This was a new adventure for you to cross off your list. Keep making wholesome content bud. Also in the summer if you don’t want to wear the camera. Just set it on the dash like you have it
The first crane is called a reach stacker, it's slightly more maneuverable than the mi-jacks which are the large blue cranes. The difference is one used more for trucks and other is for railcars.
The people going around you have a twic card. The only thing a twic card is for, in my case anyway, is to be able to drive around the ports without an escort. If you know where your going you just go. If not then you get an escort either way
I have respect for you Dave for laughing at the bullshit. I guess you have to. I try to see the positive in trucking but sometimes it's really hard. Thanks brother
That was quite the adventure, Dave, thanks for taking us along. Happy Easter. Stay safe.
Happy Easter crystal! Getting a P.O. Box soon! Gonna try next weekend to get one :)
@@RidingWithDave Yay, that's great. Can't wait to send you stuff.
Hey Dave do you like driving for online transport I was thinking about going regional with them but I don't know much about them ?
@@RidingWithDave I’m I’😊😊 19:06 19:06 😊😊😂ll
That dash cam is perfect! You can see the truck moving from the uneven terrain but the camera stays perfectly still.
Welcome to my hometown. I ran those ports for a couple years before I changed to what I'm doing now. I hope you didn't go too far to park because there's a pilot one mile up the road.
You are spot on with the TN reference lol! Born and raised, love it here..keep the great content up!
Yep, I remember my experience and I was a new driver pulling up to a port to drop off and no guidance of what to do. Its like blind man game. It was very nerve intense and you can't have anyone in your cab with you they have to wait till you're done.
Same for me going to the gravel quarry as an 18 year old with my brand new CDL. Nobody tells you what to do, and then they get mad if you do it the way they don't like it done lol
Bob Ross air freshener for the win Dave. Love it!!
Dave is a inspiration! I’m definitely gonna get my TWIC and my passport to be extra safe lol
U don’t need a passport u already have clearance with a Twic
Thank you a lot for the long and video. It was quite an adventure! Happy Easter with your loved ones Dave, be safe and be well!
Well Dave, that’s trucking!
You have a very nice attitude, that speaks well of you. Love you Davi.
The thing that moves the containers are call Top PIcks and the portals scan for contraband and stowaways in the cantainers i used to work at a port
Love the videos Dave I hope you have a good Easter
What is up guys dave back again for another Cargo Ship Vlog........
I drove containers out of the port of Oakland back in the 90's. Sure miss it. Except for the longgg wait times it was cool. I usually did a triangle from Sacramento to Oakland to Stockton then back twice a day. Fun times!
Thaaaaats trucking Dave, get used to it!
fun video, I lived in Charleston SC for a bit and actually worked at the port when they started the twic id card for the truckers / port workers
Im in and out the Long Beach CA ports. We drive thru the cameras and tag readers for customs to check whats in your container then you pull up to the pedestals and wait for someone to answer/check-in for your appointment and tickets with your location to get your container unloaded or loaded. Also those yard goats are for port workers that are used to unload and load from the vessels.
Im @15:00 into the clip; I might edit or delete this comment.
Im not yet a trucker but am taking steps towards towards getting my CDL-A. Not sure if i want to work the ports or not, but...From my understanding, if you do NOT have a TWIC-card, you need an escort. But if you DO have a TWIC-card, you dont need an escort. Those truckers hauling @$$ past you (while you wait for the escort) likely have a TWIC-card. Again from my understanding, this doesnt matter if there are vessels in-port or not
@21:00 - The scanner is scanning for things like guns, bombs, and hidden-passengers
Bro I carry a gun in my semi in and out the port daily I don’t think they scan for guns
@@kylesisk3110 As someone who's about to enter the trucking industry & thinking of possibly going into/out-of ports, ive got a couple questions for you;
How do you like it?
What do those scanners scan for?
Would you suggest port-work for a rookie-trucker, or should rookies steer clear?
Which is better; Intermodal or...um..."traditional" (ie normal dry-van and getting loaded/unloaded normally)?
I love your videos my grandma is a truck driver she drives a kenworth W900
My brother is a captain of a supply ship for the oil industry, so he has probably seen a few of these ports.
This is the 2nd video I’ve caught where you’ve came to my home town/ near my home town! First one I saw was when you were delivering right off of Jedburg. If you ever need help with anything while here just respond to this comment with your email, or another way to contact you. Stay safe brotha
Did a lot of port work for a summer. You will find these A holes skipping lines and then driving off only to find them sitting in a rest stop or a fuel station. I finally numbed up to it because just like in your situation they just shrug it off and tell you sorry. Ports are something else. Small ports usually will tell that guy to eff off though if they like you. Always fun watching them get kicked to the back of the line (I'm talking extremely small ports) Great video. You did great!
I pull loads in and out of Memphis railyards. We just call them “lifts”. And the portals are for taking images of truck, chassis, and container. To make sure the container and chassis numbers are right and also for damages and stuff. Most of the places you just pull up to the computer once you get past the portal and type in your information and they tell you where to go. I can’t say for the ports but rail yards in Memphis aren’t difficult. But I don’t have to have a TWIC or anything in Memphis.
And also, you have pins on the chassis you just pop them and the lift will drive up and take it off or put it on. Not much to it. Pretty easy
One of the few 40+ minute videos that went by what seemed like 15 minutes! awesome stuff man, always wondered how that operated. I'm from the hills and hollars not the flats and water lol
South Carolina is ack basswards! This is just another example. Signs posted would be helpful for new drivers and those that don't know. But that would cost money and common sense.
39:03 rumor has it that the lone Maersk containers has been sitting there since 2017 Petya cyberattack
Relax Dave! You can use PC to get to the truck stop when your unloaded
And if that truck stop is full, you can PC to the next stop (& so on & so forth until you find an open spot)
Out of CDL school I got my TWIC card. It helped as my second company I went to hired me for hazmat. So a went ahead and got Hazmat and tanker endorsements.
Awww yeah longer video let's go! Thanks Dave
Worked for Westrock for 32- years...retired last month...Winston-Salem, NC here. I plan on getting my CDL and going OTR....bucket list item...keep the vids
coming...be safe!!!
Frito lay driver from charlotte Nc, I’ve came there a few times
Aww man you cut the video right at the best part, trying to find parking in N Charleston in the late afternoon! Only remember there being one Pilot (which was full by 2pm) and the rest area on 526 east
Charleston SC is just a couple hours from me.
I run containers at the ports in Houston. It’s a crap shoot bud. I’ve been in and out in 30-45 minutes, and I’ve been there for 4-5 hours. I’ve seen flatbeds delivering at the Houston ports, but I don’t remember ever seeing a 53 dry van.
Dave, you should do more of that camera view that’s awesome camera view
Damn Dave, you were like 3 minutes from my house!! I am on Daniel Island the second exit after the Don Holt (blue bridge) on I-526.
I think you drop the trailer and they put it on the up train nice video.
Big Dave what’s good big dawg!!
I live 2 hours north of Charleston in Myrtle Beach 😮
TWIC allows you to move about in the port without an escort. Always assume your dispatch is clueless because they often are.
i do container and they have us do security checks and all of that. it takes forever
Love the attitude!
I just got my new truck I am driving it back to north Carolina right now it's a 2008 Kenworth wl 900 with 1.6 million and just had an in frame rebuild last week and will need a clutch soon
You got yourself a real truck . Not this junk they're making today
@@barryklinedinst6233 yes I did and its that they rebuild the motor so I do not have to
What engine does it have? I'm not a real trucker but I drive a Kenworth W900 in American Truck Simulator. Cheers and happy Easter!
@@Weltschmerz1523 It a Cummings 515 horse power
@@Nick-rc5rk Right on! I've got ISX EGR in the game!
Have a Happy Easter Dave! Great video! God Bless
Random suggestion. If you mount the camera in front like how you have it at the 24 minute mark normally, time lapses of you driving before cutting to commentary would be cool. Long time viewer. Keep the vids coming and most importantly, safe travels!
I agree with you on the time lapse!
Dave, that is just everyday Charleston area traffic. 10 minutes turns into 45 minutes to an hour quickly.
I'm from that area and I know what your going through. Also no place to park at any truck stop after 3 lol
Love this.. best from Queens NYC
Charleston SC is fun you should check it out
I had a few deliveries going to an adress then the company on the building is not the same, makes it confusing for sure when new.
Bro! I have the same problem you are going through. I always get sent to a shipper that takes forever when my 14 is low. Sucks!! Ya get used to it¿ screw that 😅😂
Cool a boat port!
thats truckin' Dave!!!!
Dave, I would get that TWIC card at your next convenience. I have mine, and it only takes fifteen minutes to take the picture, finger prints and paperwork.
Great reality thanks for your efforts dude.
Welcome to Charleston SC Dave😛😛😛😛
Screw all of that Dave!! Your dealing with alot of worry and WORKING for FREE ...! Get an hourly driving job or be a Jockey somewhere.. I got out of all that waste of time over the road crap now I punch in n out as a Jockey and make 27-30$ an hr 45hrs a week and I love it
Let’s go!! You’re driving to my state!!
Happy Easter Dave. I think that job is called a Dock Handler, I could be wrong though.
Some ports don't want to see PO paperwork or twice or passport. It's definitely an unusual situation but it happens from time to time.
Since it's a port it involves US Customs security checks. The first thing the trucks are going thru is an advanced x ray machine and takes pictures of what's inside, the truck number, and trailer number. Behind that is a security checkpoint. If the xray machine notices something suspicious or it detects a controlled substance it flags it and the truck is pulled thru a second security check thru another xray machine that customs monitors if it's flagged again they check what's on your manifest and may ask you to open the trailer but most times they just have a drug dog sniff for contraband.
Lol we be rolling through those for years with guns on us never had an issue
Dave, That address is correct - That location goes directly to a port
Your going into a Port
When I first started working out of the ports I hated it, it was so confusing and everyone drove like a maniac. Once you learn everything and get used to it, it's the easiest job in the world. You just have to get through the first few months to get to that point.
Okay Dave it's official the Bob Ross has to stay forever 😂😂
""USED TO GRIPE"" !!! Holy cow !
Sometimes when you overthink a situation, it confuses you………….🤪
Absolutely need a twic card going in or out of ports
I found this video extremely fascinating…..something outside the box.
That's truckin Dave get used to it !!!!!
Riding with stingky dave 😂🤘🏻
That's Truckin!!
Those containers also get put on trains
Have for ever seen a.... ship-shipping ship, shipping shipping ships? This implies that the same would hold true for trucks. 🤔
It would be hilarious if the same commenter said yeah, that was me. all this time I know It was the seventh video you ever put it out.
Come on dave, you've been in a port before😂
That’s trucking in the world
That trucking dave
whats going on? CFI gone. new company? billie joe? you started a year before me. love the turn cam.
The portals are a scanner and other things, I know they scan the trucks
It’s remount road in Charleston South Carolina lol 😂
It's the Stargate portal. It'll take you to the ancient Egyptian aliens!!! 👽
Come on Dave, the boys are thirsty in Atlanta…
Good thing that merry weather security guard didn’t light you up!😳😳
Honestly if you can get a TWIC card get one they’re cheap and make doing stuff like this and flying easier
No way, dave was on remount rd. Thats where i work!!
I think they check you for warrants and cavity search you……..🤪
Yea ports are the most confusing awkward poorly designed places u can deliver to.
I used to go run the ports daily it requires precision, higher that you're used to, alot of driving around trying to find or remember where to go to drop a container, waiting for hrs if the crane operator is on a break or has multiple others to pull for or if u cant fit into your slot or u have to wait till someone moves to get to the lane your container is in. In Nj got 1 automated, 1 that requires a ton of precision & perfect driving, 1 that requires getting a ticket for a slot to park then waiting for them to bring it to u unless they forget u...., 1 that u just haveto know where to drop the container by the company that owns them. I hated it.
I could imagine I would hate dealing with that every day too. Think I'll pass on the port work lol.
@@RidingWithDave you have a good Easter!
pnct and maher both have slot ticket not just 1
