His much would it have cost to pay for install?

"Sometimes my equipment lets me down". Yep, more and more as we get older.

Man you were close to the house. Good to see everything is going good for you. Stay safe out there

WisCANsin love it!

Hey Daniel. Just saw a video of a 🚛 rolling up his straps with a hand drill on a bracket hooked on the side of the truck. How about take a looksie. Just thinking of the thousands of times you have rolled up your straps. B SAFE 🚛💨💨💨💨

Pop up ramps are nice saves a little bit of time. For the top deck.

Hey Dan, isn't your personal trailer a flatbed, and this one Dorsey letting you use is stepdeck. If you went out and bought a new one tomorrow, would it be flatbed or stepdeck?

Always someone belly aches about something!

6:22 you are right!

It’s also better to Deadhead empty = you got to calculate in your wear and tear on your equipment Wish people would let cheap freight sit!

I only live 30 miles from where you delivered the power poles.

You’re right Dan

Dan do you have trouble getting into places with your truck being so long enjoy the videos be safe God bless.

In 2008 bought a p. U new cascades the drivers laugh at me cost well best money I spent that’s why many drivers go broke they don’t have any idea on the numbers 😊they need to stay in fast food job !🇺🇸🦿👍

Thanks again for the content Dan, love the channel.

is that another crack in your windshield???

Not a trucker but by God I didn't know you have these issues to make a decent living. Hopefully our new government will crack down on these foreigners running eligal loads and gas prices drop. Wishing you the best Dan 🙏

Florida always was a dead zone for flatbeds

Hey Dan, I love your videos. I have searched high and low for the landfill liner that you showed in your equipment video. Can you send me a link as to where I can find it. Thank you

Hat's off to you for not hauling the cheap stuff! I just can't get over why that's such a hard sell to others.

Good music 🎶

Good song

Their are other people who own small trucking companies that are say that thinks will get better sense the GOLDEN BOY FREAK got back into office . Sense he has gotten back into office i have seen three more trucking companies and brokage compaines close up to bankrupt and fuel prices jump up by 40 cents per gallon . So who is not telling the truth about this stuff . They are saying maybe the middle of 2026 they might see something happening .

dan..i watch your videos because you do everything the right way...people could learn from you...thank for taking the time to present these...a subscriber from yuma..

I’m so glad I sold my 98 Pete and step-deck back in 22’ just as fuel was skyrocketing and rates were dropping. I had my own authority and was getting regular rates of 3.50 to 4.50 a mile. I started seeing loads falling into the 2 dollar range and dumped everything. Fuel was 5 bucks a gallon at that time. It was costing me a dollar a mile in fuel alone. The math just doesn’t add up. You should look at galvanized steel loading out of Kosciusko Mississippi, northern part of the state, going up north to build solar farms. It used to pay good and would get you up to where the loads paid good. I used to haul out of there a lot as I live in central Mississippi. Would go up north and find a load back, take a week off and do it again. Ahh the good old days lol.

Bought CDLs are ruining the industry

It's a deadhead company 4 sure

do you have your own authority? can you haul for clients that you have a personal relationship with and still be under contract to Mercer?

Race to the bottom. Trucking is a tough business.

I’m at a rest stop 50 miles from Tampa on 75.

Hey dan I saw 👀 heading west on i 10 in Mississippi great rig, be safe 👍👍

Interesting thanks

Wish I had known you stayed in Cullman the other night. Would have invited you to dinner.

Right windshield cracked out again?

i retired at the rite time

I started hauling tractors in 1979. Working for Warren transport Waterloo Iowa. Never used straps on tractors. Always cross chained each tractor. Four chains. Cant believe Dan of all people.Good thing you didn’t get pulled in scale. And far as I know. No over hang on front or back on 53 foot trailer. Take care Dan.

Any thougths on the stepdeck trailer so far?

Just your luck, to have a trip to Florida, with a snowstorm between you and the next load.

Did your passenger window break again

For all your dodging snowstorm needs Dorsey trailers

:)

A 17 mph speed limit is rather odd

3:02 Tampa General Hospital or St Joseph's❓️

Stay safe

The freight market is so bad here in AZ, I can't tell you how many trucking companies have gone under.

Wouldn't it be better to get something to where you gotta pick up the pole or close by then just deadheading there?

Where did you go in Louisiana? Have you ever been to Abbeville?

Florida sucked in 02-10!!!!

Do you wonder if you're earning the same/more/less than your Mercer peers?

West Texas (Abilene) is a black hole for freight and rates like Colorado and Florida
