Checking in from #689, 3 yrs later trailer continues to do great!

[@vistalite-ph4zw]

I've been turning wrenches for 30+years and worked on every trailer manufacturer out there. I love working on Dorsey's the best. Not because of high maintenance problems , everything is so easy to get to. To me very mechanic friendly...😉

[@mikemonroe1656]

Dan, I sure wish I could have been there when you were, missed you by a week. Mike Monroe, VP Sales, Dorsey trailers

[@SuperTruckerdan]

We will definitely have to get together

[@billupstateny9151]

Thank you for bringing us along Dan.

[@backwoods_outlaw7108]

I actually used to build the rear frames for the van trailers but I now work on tack table it’s pretty neat to see a video of Dorsey trailers on KZbin lol

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@michaellinbeck2528]

Our family owned one of the oldest Dorsey dealerships in the country . We didn't sell the most trailers but we were the largest part distributors in the country for Dorsey. We go back to the 1950's all the way to the great flood of 1998 that destroyed the plant when a levee failed. It was the end of the original Dorsey that built vans and flats. It is good to see it back up after all these years.

[@mattmoschkau84]

I use to deliver translucent roof material there back when they made dry vans. So glad to see they came back stronger than ever!

[@BIGBilly]

Very cool. It's nice to have a little bit of a better understanding, on how the trailers are built. 👍😎👍

[@itsmeagainmargret]

I don't know when they quit making them, but I remember my grandfather's trucking company had Dorsey dry vans back in the '70s. I can' remember the last time I even saw a Dorsey trailer. Thanks for the flashback.

[@jbbatulis3513]

Great video and congratulations sounds like a great program plus Made in America...Mentioned before my Pops used to wear a red Dorsey cap back in 70’s...

[@johnnance648]

Good tour Dan, got to see where your baby was born

I have a 99 dorsey flatbed, still doing great. Very strong!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

They do make a tough product Thanks for watching

[@garthbutton699]

Nice tour,thanks Dan and Dorsey😁

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Always good to get a view of how your gear is put together, allows you to get a grip on the reasons behind things 👍👍👍👍

[@petermarshall7005]

Really interesting segment. What impressed me was how clean and spacious the factory was. So often we see manufacturing plants but never get a chance to see inside.

[@SteelyPaw]

Being a machinist I've worked around big steel, made repair parts for just about every industry you can think of, and eventually went into business for my self for 32 years with 13 employees owning a maintenance machine shop, repairing or making parts for mostly rolling-mills (those coils you haul only sheet steel) and pharmaceutical companies until I retired and liquidated. Thanks for the tour, very interesting. As always, nice seeing you Dan and safe trucking to you.. Congratulations again on your new sponsor " Dorsey Trailers"..............

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@route66weather99]

After the last couple of videos all I see are Dorsey trailers everywhere.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

lol Thanks for watching

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Dan, Dorsey could not have picked a better representative. Stroke of good fortune. You have great knowledge and an exemplary manner of explaining things. I feel fortunate to be one of your subs. Stay safe. Blessings.

[@tonyjxn]

Dorsey seems like they make a good product. Congrats on the partnership. Can't wait to see you install your new box.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

I can’t wait to install the box Thanks for watching

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Oh WoW Dan this was one of your best since day 1....it be fun if you take us all on a "Another trucking Feild trips.....perhaps the peterbilt factory....

[@frederickoning191]

Amazing company! I understand the attraction. Dorsey seems to be able to make a trailer for a wide variety of purposes. The have a good name for a reason. Great video!

[@TheDaf95xf]

Morning Dan. So pleased that you got really great sponsor in Dorsey trailers 👍🏻 Fantastic factory tour 😀 I’m a train enthusiast but still like trucks lol 😆 Your channel is probably one of the best on KZbin along with AK and Justin at Just Truckin 😆 Keep safe buddy 👍🏻 Cheers Stevie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@chriswilliams3703]

When i was flatbeding i had a new 97 and loved it

[@thebozo717]

Good video Dan, My next trailer will be a Dorsey. Thanks Again

[@Naterbomb88]

Great video! Pretty cool Dorsey can come on board as a sponsor and they look like a great product.

[@trailermechanic8242]

Amazing video. I have been working on semi trailers for 15 years. Nice to see they still hand weld stuff and how they make these. Thanks for the vidio

[@patodwyer721]

Excellent video, very interesting.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Thanks for the tour, Dan. Looks like you have partnered up with a good organization.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

SuperTruckerDan Thanks for the video. Safe travels.

[@tomaugust6]

I have just subscribed to your channel today. I do like it. I live in Brisbane Australia. I am not a truck driver, I drive a front end loader. Stay safe mate, looking forward to your videos.

[@dukeholiday7724]

Thanks for the tour.

[@kens.3729]

Safety, Safety, Safety, Everywhere throughout this Factory. There is a Lot of Equipment in there. 👍

[@texasgilley9533]

Thanks for the tour Always enjoy manufacturing. I always wonder how stuff is made worked on trucks and trailers all my life

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@malikal-malki3088]

Love it. Thank you Dan

[@tomland5837]

Great video Dan!!

[@curseoftheblackpearl7497]

Made the choice to finally go out on my own and really considering a Dorsey flatbed.

[@dorseytrailer5703]

Thank you for considering us! We would love to talk to you!

[@paulsccna2964]

Nice tour

[@butchmoyer995]

Thanks for the tour , very interesting to see what all that is involved.

[@byronseagrave5297]

Great video Dan !! But I keep hearing this voice saying put me back on the road Dad!! Let's go have fun!! Take care out there Brother Peace

[@texasproud3332]

Hard work and more importantly American Made !

[@RaoulThomas007]

They looked busy too, in these uncertain times!

[@rasidsmajlovic3127]

Well deserved sponsorship, Dan! I might have to get one of these trailers after watching this/you!

[@albertreinbold9355]

I have been waiting for this video since you posted the sponsorship pic! I work in manufacturing so this is neato!!!! Awesome job!

[@806Driver]

Sponsorship is awesome!!! You put out some great stuff Dan, I will be looking into Mercer after my youngest graduates next spring, good luck brother 👍🏼

[@bradleysmith6442]

Very cool, now if you can get Peterbilt on board, maybe some sponsorship on a 379 restoration 🤔

[@MrBigR928]

Nothing beats a failure but a try! Somebody call Paccar and tell'em Dan demands satisfaction and will accept nothing less than a complete resto of his devoted 379 that is patiently waiting her turn to show these new junkers just how to haul loads. She still has a great set of legs on her gosh darn it! "Give Dan a resto...give Dan a resto...give Dan a resto😁

[@maxracingteam23]

We were going to buy 3 Dorsey 53’ step decks with ramps on the back but the wait time was months. Then we found 3 manac’s so we got those. The guy who hauls for us has both but the dorseys are better quality.

[@westside04]

MADE IN USA 🇺🇸 thank you for uploading.

[@backwoods_outlaw7108]

I work at that plant on night shift and I build the beams for the trailers on the tack table.

[@lenscap8925]

Looks like the production tables are their own design, all those brake chambers and rollers pulled from stock and put to work making trailers. And yeah, the step deck on your truck does look good!

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Thanks for sharing Dan 👍

[@MrJim0823]

Very interesting Thanks Dan

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A very nice video, looks like they make sturdy stuff.

[@kennethwoleslagle6684]

very nice video, liked it alot and learned alot

[@HeuristicalWorker]

Great to see you Dan. Hit like button then watch.

[@erichoward6568]

Great tour Dan very interesting to see how they are made.

[@patrickbrink7859]

That was really cool Dan, thanks for sharing that! 👍

[@jodimiller7931]

That was a cool tour, interesting to see how they use different techniques for the welds on aluminum trailer vs a steel trailer.

[@bradadams6521]

That step deck looked good on the truck lol as always great video!!

[@robertfranki5477]

Liked the trailer manufacting plant

[@jvbi1467]

Your in my home town awesome!

[@keithklingensmith2955]

I love the Intro music on this video.

[@antonionascimento5319]

Boa noite, lindo vídeo e boa sorte

[@steveurbach3093]

That was way more interesting because you did the tour on things YOU though were of interest to us, rather than a PIO canned spiel.

[@brobinson767]

Great video!

[@JJRrcracingfoam]

Made in th USA Love it ty Dan

[@stevek2364]

Sweet video! Congrats sir!

[@OO-xc7zg]

[@paulm3481]

Very informative.

[@jefflong3200]

Hopefully you took some notes on that drop trailer and the location of the box that was forward of the rear wheels. Help with mounting your new one.

[@alm4625]

Nice video!!

[@shnimmuc]

Very interesting thanks

[@WhiteLinesBlueSkies]

Great video Dan. Can you go into a little of steel vs. aluminum trailers like weight, durability, reason for one over the other? Thanks! WLBS. Ken

[@aaronabney8924]

I live about 40 miles from there used to work there when i was 18 up til i was 21 and got my cdl...never pulled one tho

[@frodrickfronkensteen9241]

Great video Dan! Thanks! And congratulations on the sponsorship! Question... Dorsey Trailers... do they use pressure treated wood... or do you have to request it? Again, I think your sponsorship is awesome! Stay safe!

[@dorseytrailer5703]

We use Brazilian Apitong flooring.

[@kens.3729]

If you work inside this Dorsey Factory, the # 1 Requirement is that you know how to Weld. 😬 👍

[@davidraiser6083]

Did they make the dry van's there, I pickup a new one some place down there back in the day,Can't remember,lol Great Vid Drive Safe

[@gusfc1842]

Love a non ferrous metal trailer

[@chuckyf-u2395]

Did they offer you a load to deliver some of their trailers? You could be the reason for a new Mercer customer 🤔

[@marte1a256]

What did you do with the old trailer? When you switched the old seats out i commented i could use them in my livingroom for couches; now i could use that old trailer in my room to make a nice sturdy bed. I have no truck but love them

[@harleyhawk7959]

shiny metals always peek my entrest

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@bigrigger5617]

I was surprised they let you go thru the plant without an escort and no hard hat. But then I noticed the workers did not have hard hats on

[@turbo5488]

Dan that was very interesting on how they made those trailer's when I saw you pulling that drop deck I thought you got another trailer won't that limit you on what you can haul also that nice behind that truck I like flatbed trailer's

[@SuperTruckerdan]

The truck does look good hooked up to a step deck Thanks for watching

[@chuckyf-u2395]

@@SuperTruckerdan yes it does...getting any ideas 💡 🤔

[@dorseytrailer5703]

👏👏👏

[@tanuki379]

is dorsey and pitts the same spec trailers? I think aluminum is the way to go up here in northeast the steel trailers rust in a year or two good video

[@DPWian]

What's the difference between a step deck trailer and a standard flatbed trailer? Other than the obvious designs?

[@michaelmcclure8673]

I'm not a super trucker, but aren't those called crossmember's ? And I like your terminology better, rotisserie . It makes it easier to weld when it's all flat welding with no overhead.

[@jeffwindsor1702]

It seems like quite an impressive operation . How many do they build in a day?

[@jasonpassmore3327]

I am not a driver, although I have a family full of them. My question is. What are the advantages of a step deck if any over a flatbed? Thanks and keep up the good work

[@funnyfarm5555]

OK, dumb question. How do they get the prestress curve in the bed of the trailer? The ones inside the factory looked straight.
