Congratulations, I pull reefer, and have very limited flatbed experience, but I’ve been driving 23 years and really enjoy your channel, it is genuine and real. It’s very apparent the old school ways you handle stuff. Good to see. Enjoy your new Skateboard.

[@paulweldon3134]

Here I was sitting here waiting for a man to show me his trailer, then all of a sudden THE END. True story 😂

[@Firemann487]

Check the crankcase breather on your gen. If it’s clogged and builds pressure it will push out the front/rear seals

[@jthitchens2672]

As a UPS driver that was hilarious, our yard is madness when everyone's rolling out.

[@johnw8307]

A UPS driver shaking his head....thats rich, those guys drive and park like they are the only ones that matter.

[@kens.3729]

You work Hard and Deserve to be driving Great and Very reliable Equipment. You’ll Love Trailer.👍

[@amyboxerowner7704]

Congratulations on your new trailer! You will have more worry free miles with a new trailer vs your old one. The old trailer does look nice after all the work you put toward it.

[@ralphe2839]

Congratulations on new trailer. Bought new Mac dropdeck in 2010. You will like all aluminum. No more painting. Good luck glad your back dan.

[@craigsteele8912]

Old trailer and old Peterbuilt equals another unit. Options. Take care.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Congrats on the new trailer Dan. Probably the best decision. Sounds like it’s spected like you want it👍👍👍

[@paulsccna2964]

I still watch this channel. Fun to be along for the ride. Keep the videos coming.

[@DLSWV]

👍😉. Congrats new trailer 😉. Shame all work done old trailer. Can’t not wait video new trailer 😉👍.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels Dan

[@martymc92]

There are many ways you can repair the 5th wheel plate. There was a shop in Phoenix, AZ . They did all the job from the bottom so they didn’t have to cut the floor. They replaced the crossmembers and installed a thicker plate. It was about 1400.

[@Alvin_41_]

If I was you, try and talk them into putting on air scales, if it doesn't have it.

[@maxracingteam23]

Nice getting a Dorsey!!!! That trailer will last you a long time! I must say it would look good behind the 379 though!

[@bigholli8449]

Glad the videos are back!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@richardrasmussen804]

All of the repair you did on your time off to your trailer!! Enjoy the new one!! $38,000.00 doesn't sound bad at all!!👍👍

[@jbbatulis3513]

Good for you sounds like a solid investment..Years ago growing up in Altoona PA Dad wore an all red Dorsey foam cap... nice one then he got a white n red foam cap, he enjoyed those two hats...Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing and be sure and get a couple hats...

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Keep talking Dan. I enjoy your explanations and narrative. Always! Will be interesting to see the weight difference between the old and the new trailers. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@louisglen1653]

We always referred to the fifth wheel as the top plate. Love your videos!

[@troyshowalter2076]

They will treat you right at Arrow. I do business with them. In fact, I would take your old trailer to them to get fixed. They have a great shop with reasonable price.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Congratulations, Dan

[@markwillbanks3607]

Congratulations! Now you won't have to watch for rattlesnakes as often. It's a smart move for a guy that takes care of equipment like you do.

[@04tommac]

Congratulations on the new trailer! Hope everything goes well with fixing the existing one.

[@SteelyPaw]

Congratulations on getting a new trailer Dan. I wish you lots of luck with it. Thumbs up on this video, and I'll be watching for when your next video comes out of the new trailer.. Until then stay safe..

[@javieraviles6314]

Good luck Dan with your life and your wonderful job. Thanks for show us the things that you have to do to make your money and support your Family. Blessings to you.

[@raykrv6a]

Went and looked at it. Very nice. $36,500 including FET on the website.

[@mikebrock6471]

Thank you Dan for the effort it takes to post up these videos. Thanks for keeping it real. Love the content, keep it coming.

[@digsbyjames7726]

Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos. I have been watching for a while but on a console, now I have subscribed and happy to do so. I find each video entertaining, and informative. All best and safe travels!

[@thebrinx9632]

As always Dan, thanks for having us along, stay well/safe.

[@polockdan1]

Great video and good luck with those trailers !!

[@philmoore5579]

Good decision! No more worries with the trailer. Love gets better! Roll on. Be safe.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Allot of the wheel spray from he drives goes in that area Dan. You might want to consider fenders on the drives.

[@bigjim5723]

yelp wouldn't have it any other way -at least for me.

[@seagullsbtn]

Alotta rust there. Your suggestion makes a ton of sense.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I’ve said this to Dan for a few years and I don’t think he likes fenders. I can imagine the dirt and rocks hitting the back of the sleeper.

[@kens.3729]

You’re a Very Conscientious Driver and were Very Smart NOT to take a Load out of Tampa, FL. 👍

[@kitchric]

Enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your life with us. My brother was a trucker. I know it's a hard life. Although, enjoyed by some. God bless.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Congrats!. All aluminum. Ought to be a bit lighter too. You were only an hour north of me when you dropped in Tampa. I have Family up there. Stay safe out there.

[@dustinlowry9075]

Awesome stuff Mr Dan getting a new trailer👍 Love your videos. Hello from Dos Palace California

[@mongomay1]

Thanks for the bridge coverage. Grew up in Ocala, Fla and miss the water.

[@screamindemon811]

Dan is going to have a lot of explaining to do to Theresa when she see's her picture on the night stand got replaced with a picture of the new trailer.

[@Swimmingforlife.]

Brilliant 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrBigR928]

Hahahaha....😁

[@kens.3729]

Now we know why Dan (and Teresa) Added the New Front Porch on the House. So Dan wouldn’t get Wet when he Returned Home to Sleep 😴 on the Front Porch. 😬 👍

[@thomasberg7088]

Niceeeehehehe!!!

[@stuartpardner7668]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@hoodlife8044]

You are going to love the j hooks. You will want to notch a few of them so you can position them over the bolts that hold the track in place. I use them parallel to the front rail of the trailer as bulkheads sometimes as well.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

After all that work painting, you got a new one cool.

[@MrJim0823]

Congratulations on your new trailer!

[@chuckyf-u2395]

Congratulations on the new trailer 👍💪

[@mt79er]

good luck with the new trailer

[@xc7049]

Nice looking trailer Dan. Congratulations. All you need are some chicken lights.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Dan bad news for the old trailer. I'm surprised you didn't get a curtain side/conestoga type trailer to stop tarping. I know you get extra for tarping but in my opinion not enough. Be safe Dan

[@That2WDGuy]

I think at some point he mentioned it limited loads he could take, Tarping yourself gives more opportunities. Or I could be wrong Lol

[@njovwevnjweV]

If he has a Conestoga trailer he would still get paid the same for the loads that require a tarp, perhaps even a little bit more in some instances just because the shipper could get him in and out a lot quicker. But ASimpleTruckr Vlogs is right, it would limit the loads that he could haul.

[@TheMMAMoneyMinute]

A great deal of loads say “no conestogas”. So yes it relieves a great deal of tarping, but it doesn’t outweigh the loads you lose out on.

[@allanmccullough8550]

Curtain side is a van trailer, not a flatbed.

[@rickt4552]

Congrats on the new wagon....keep up the good work...really enjoy your vids ...safe travels ....

[@charlesferebee4875]

Congratulations. That new trailer will look really sweet behind the 379. JUST SAYING.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Dan !! Can't blame you for NOT wanting to load that trailer in FL. As would have been a BIG issue on the road with the tractor 5th wheel hung in the nose of the trailer !!! Enjoy the ""NEW"" toy & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!! Have seen 5th wheel plate issues b/4 that caused the trailer to flip over when the landing gear hit the ground !!! NOT a pleasant site to see !!

[@kp__truckin]

New trailer sweet I had great luck with Reitnouer trailers or western 👍✌🏻

[@Lackaustausch]

Yes Dan. We're 52 this year. I'm already. Good luck with the new trailer. 😁👍

[@lylekliewer4787]

It's always something, isn't it? I echo what somebody else already said, check the breather on your generator. Keep up the good work Dan, your videos are always the best!

[@henrycavazos1984]

Love your channel I've been owner opp 16 yrs with same company. Your a professional all around . Henry

[@russelltrupia4479]

I have changed many of those king pin plates and you are right it is a lot of work Glade to hear you are getting a new trailer.

[@mattcureton]

Another great video Dan. Congrats on the new equipment!

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Great decision on trailer

[@chriskahlson]

Very good info thank you for sharing

[@macy8667]

Dan. Congratulations on new trailer. I think you bought at a good time with everything going on right now. Prices on trucks and trailers have been coming down according to road dog 👍

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Good luck with the new trailer Dan.

[@taffyjones57]

Hi, Dan. Nice to see you on the road. I think that you should put fenders over your back axels. That would save you a lot of maintenance on your trailer. Stat safe I can't wait to see the new trailer,

[@davestarr7112]

Oh, I forgot ... I do that a lot lately ;-) Several years ago you made some very useful videos on how to figure the costs of operating a truck, how to decide the rate and owner needs to set as a minimum per mile, etc. If you're casting about for a subject for videos on a slow week, especially since you'll be registering the new trailer, us non-truckers would love to know the basics and owner-operator needs to know regarding IFTA and IRP. I don't know when they went into effect, but one of my favorite little things as a young boy is gone now,,, when we would go on a family trip, my dad would stop at a truck stop or big diner and walk us kids around the truck parking area and we'd all compete in finding the trucks with the most license plates plastered on the front bumper and try to find every US state.. Be well.

[@funnyfarm5555]

I drove for a company that had the plate with all the places for the state stickers. One day I went to Seattle from Oregon and back and got stopped at the scale around Olympia and the scale guy couldn't see anything else out of order, so he tried to tell me he could fine me for the Washington sticker being in the wrong place. Say what? I told him I didn't put the stickers on; I just drove the truck. he let me go with a verbal, so when I got back to the yard, I told the dispatcher about it and he said 'don't worry about it', he thought the scale guy just made it up.

[@davestarr7112]

@@funnyfarm5555 Ha ha that's funny. If they still used those stickers today I've seen a lot of RV's with an empty map of the USA with "state-shaped" stickers you can stick on for every state you have been in. That way the RV'r can't go wrong in placement ...truckers are required to have a better sense of geography, LoL. But what I was talking about was the really olden days ... right after they switched to inflatable tires ... trucks were required to display and actual regular size license plate fro=m each state they were licensed to operate in ... made for some mighty big front bumpers, LoL.

[@aberdeenbelfry316]

Can’t wait for the new trailer tour.

[@donrotenberry6571]

Dan, good luck on your new trailer. Just looked on their website at this trailer. Good looking trailer. Can't wait to see it loaded up & behind the Pete. Stay Safe

[@johnnance648]

[@Jerseytrucker911]

Good for you!! Keep on trucking!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@ralphe2839]

Looked that Dorsey trailer up on line. Didn’t know they made all aluminum trailers. Looks nice. Beautiful trailer

[@Embermist69]

Stay safe out there Dan, thanks for the vlogs ya do. First one of yours I seen was the cost or running a truck, like episode 26 I think maybe. Don't remember completely.

[@benwilkinson8636]

Looking forward to seeing the new trailer Dan.

[@patodwyer721]

Great video Dan. Good look with the new trailer.

[@MrBigR928]

I learn a lot from you Dan👍 Sounds like you spec'd a nice trailer. Can't wait to see it! Safe travels ✌️

Cant wait to see the new Trailer. Travel safe and God Speed

[@sazkevin]

Shinny new trailer! Excited for you Dan!

[@garyskowbo3564]

Hey Dan thanks for sharing another great video! Here’s an idea, pair the old trailer with the 379 and put a driver in it. “ with heavy screening of the driver of course.”😄

[@GdayitsPete]

Good on you Dan, good luck with the new trailer.

[@princekaura3934]

Congratulations

[@gord2358]

Congrats on making the decision to buy a new trailer. At the very least you're getting rid of that troublesome generator.

Congrats on new trailer......just saw their, Arrow, add in truckpaper yesterday, which I picked up at a truckstop👍👍

[@antonionascimento5319]

Boa noite, lindo vídeo e boa sorte

[@dn9463]

Hi Dan, your a young pup, yea i agree with Military Museum, got to protect under there. Another place is inside your frame rails, I seen what that aluminum crap does to it. Rots those frames out from the inside out. I use to use a pressure washer and a gal of salt away, and blow out the inside after a hard winter driving then run a camera in there too see how much corrosion there was. Had my mechanic do that.. Glad that your getting a new dorcy, they aren't that bad of a trailer.

[@jimsloan8549]

Love your videos. Yahoo New Equipment At least you know what to look for !!!!!!!!!!

[@charleshanna3123]

Thanks Dan Appreciate Video

[@jerrybreu5997]

Can't wait to see your new trailer, am soooooo happy for you dan!!!

[@paulm3481]

Hope you’re going to be happy with your new trailer.

[@mreff2379]

Dorsey trailers are known to be weak in the middle. Wish you luck with it. Personally I think East or MAC would have given you better long term service but that’s just my opinion and you know the old saying about opinions.

[@lumberjunkee8451]

MAC's are sweet.....

[@mreff2379]

And a hell of a trailer provided you spend the money for the good one and not the bare bones cheap fleet edition.

[@RetireWithLess]

Always cool to have a new tool!

[@truckerallister9080]

Perfect trailer for that price, hope to see it on a walk around soon.

[@docholiday1034]

I move UPS equipment from all different locations..lol usually a mess and try to stay away 8am to 10am😂. Rest of the time no problems...

[@Roadblock8806]

[@jamesfarnham1976]

I have been also looking at the dorseys as well at least I can watch some one use it and give their pros and cons on it

On Hwy 60 there is a nice beach there. Good hang out place.

[@sziltner]

Hey, you deserve a new trailer! 👍🏻

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

We call it the rubbing plate and it’s no big deal to replace one. Good welder/fabricator will replace one in half a day no problem.
