Shut down Saturday night, left Tuesday morning. So technically 3 days.

It’s all a part of the trip planning. Know your route, know the options, and you shouldn’t run into a situation like that.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Stand back…there’s a Shondarian comin through!

My car is just a bit bigger I think. But honestly, I’ve thought about camping somewhere with this thing during a shut down at some point. Be safe out there.

@@FulcrumFreighterYep just the OG car campers with the full fridge and bunk beds and everything lol you too

First? My friend, bold of you to think there is that much traffic on this page. You could have said “Only” and you’d be right.

@@FulcrumFreighterHahahha I'm saying it for when you blow up and get big!🎉

Thank you. Hopefully the next visit will be better.

A lot of scanning and taking my time. My placement driver was on edge as we went under the bridge at the start of the video. He thought we wouldn’t make it. So lesson there: Reading the signs, reading again. Proceeding slowly to account for any bumps we might pass over….we had room to spare but it’s all about taking it slow. That and I grew up driving on I-4 in Florida…I laugh at the idea of driving in other cities now. (If you want a real brain twister, go watch the G. Washington Bridge video!)

Thanks man. First time out that way so I wanted to take in as much as I could.

Thanks. I recently went back and made a more in depth video if you’re interested in viewing it.

Yeah, I would like to see that

Thank you. Made it up as I went along.

Oh Ocean is almost too smart to be allowed in general population. Dodger is just a happy dude no matter what.

Thank you! I plan to do another, more in depth version next time I’m in town.

It’s a 56. This one is actually the first truck purchased for use in the company.

I’ll take driving through a small town area like this over any big city any day of the week. I’ve been through Carlisle plenty of times since July but I wanted to get it during the winter for this reason, just adds a little more to any already awesome area.

Everything here was no more than 2-4 inches so with all the salt treatments it wasn’t difficult. Just taking it slow and careful is always the best option. When in doubt, find a safe haven and call it a day.

My teammate and I are within our first year, about 8 months into it. It’s a job mainly, with the perks of being able to travel and see the country.

​good bro. What you like to drive truck in snow

We go where GPS takes us the fastest to the next drop.

@@FulcrumFreighter 😳

And somehow...that line of travel seems to take 12 years...

Nice! Now to go back and do a CSI enhance on it to see if you're waving at the camera.

If you mean in regards to “Sleeper berth” time, since it’s 10 hrs on that setting, you could really be in the seat for about 2 hrs, with AT LEAST 8 being in the sleeper berth/bed. Some people will do the 2 hrs on Off Duty, then change to Sleeper. Just remember you have to have 10 hrs total in off/sleeper before the clock resets. Look up the info here if you’d like www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hours-service/summary-hours-service-regulations#:~:text=Drivers%20using%20a%20sleeper%20berth,is%20less%20than%202%20hours.

@UnchartedAdventuresVideo awesome, thanks for the Information, do you like the team driving format, is it tough to sleep while truck is moving?

You’ll figure out what works for you eventually. Always a good idea to use the net/straps, extra protection in case there’s an unscheduled break check (or a pot hole larger than the planet..lookin at you I-10). Try doing some light stretches to wear yourself out a little more. I have the AirPods Pro 2 with the noise cancellation, and it really works. Throw on some ocean waves, or whatever you think would work for you, and you’ll be fine.

In regards to team driving, yeah, it’s good. Michael and I were in school together so it worked out well that we knew each other going in to this (verses playing the “trucker dating game” trying to find a good partner. I know people who have had nightmare partners. But overall right now, teaming is the way to go. Truck is “always moving” (except for resets) so means more mileage. Which means more money. There was one week we did just over 5.5k miles in a 7 day period. Is it for everyone? No. But my advice is you won’t know until you try. Don’t like it? Don’t do it. Make this career what you want it to be. It’s going to be stressful enough, control everything you can. And remember, as long as the cars are below you, you’re doing it right.

Glad you enjoyed it!
