Happy Trails Dan...........................................

[@nathanhollis8496]

If I-70 through Indianapolis didn't shake off the new tool box and generator nothing will. Great upload!!!! Safe travels!!!!

[@wallytimmins356]

I think that's a great way to tie those coils down. Makes perfect sense.

[@markthomas7270]

You don't have to worry about your old trailer any longer, it's no longer your's to worry for!! Take Care, Dan!!

[@154362ify]

Congrats on getting that trailer sold! One less headache.

[@maxracingteam23]

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

[@jamieohara2307]

Dan, Congratulations on selling your trailer!! Good luck with your doctors appointment. Safe travels!!

[@rubentoms2413]

I am a jamaican truck driver watch your video all time

[@shadowzinthegila1663]

Glad you sold your trailer bet that is a relief

[@ko9446]

Hey Dorsey.......Take care of my boss when he calls this week about a custom trailer. Ours got rear ended and totaled last week.

[@dorseytrailer5703]

Will Do! Sorry to hear about the wreck.

[@rogerworkman5813]

Well, I finished all of your videos from #1 till now at 476. Great videos. Thank you! Roger

[@wideslammer]

Dan doesn't usually reply to questions so maybe someone else can respond. I assume a spread axle trailer (with the lift axle down) turns a little better is because the "pivot point" of the trailer is halfway between the axles rather than at the rear axle (with the lift axle up). I also assume a downside is that it's a little harder on the trailer tires since they have to slide sideways a bit during the turn. Thank you.

[@joemalone5986]

Grand Rapids, that’s my town! Get out of here tomorrow before it snows!

[@k.l.channel5953]

How much are we getting

[@jamesleake2121]

Congratulations on getting your old trailer sold just be safe out there cause of the bad weather coming

[@lydiaanderson582]

@Hello James how are you doing?

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Dan !! CONGRATS on selling the trailer !!! Have a good rest & Waiting to see the ""NEW"" toy !!!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!

[@MrBigR928]

Who are these 12 people that have a thumbs down? Dan's giving us so much but he can't always give an Academy Award winning performance dog gonnit! I know Dan's got us spoiled but cut'em some slack!🤗

[@kens.3729]

Great job finding a New Home for your Old Trailer. Teresa will be Very Happy to hear this News. 👍

[@usfreight]

Most everything I've ever seen you post are things I learned way back. I drove my first truck in 1971 and I'm still out here as an O/O. Keep it simple. 98 Fld 120 with 6NZ Cat. ...paper logs... Cheaper to run some elses trailer. Less worries...

[@OffroadCpl]

I think that's a great way to secure them.

[@bengone3349]

SOLD! One less thing to be concerned with. I'm sure that sale covers the APU and some other maintenance items.

[@timatwell3728]

I kinda doubt it covered the apu even being used still probably $6500.00 -$8500.00 trailer maybe $6000.00 so it helped but not total cost but one less thing to worry about

[@lindsaygreen5102]

Ya, think the weather is going to be massive

[@jimsloan8549]

Nice tie down

[@alvinjenkins8005]

Thanks for the ride. I have ran alot of car parts from Larado to Michigan. Live in San Antonio Tx. Stay Safe

[@turbo5488]

Dan you are in a great mood when you sold your trailer at least that took some weight off of you that's a good thing and I hope that you have great weather tomorrow just drive safe and I watched you for a long time and I enjoy watching your videos and you do an outstanding job and stay safe and keep healthy

[@edwardboyd9996]

You have some bad weather coming your way, drive safe.

[@edlacen4964]

Good luck with the Carrier.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels Dan

[@johnfry9010]

We are almost where we need too be , Greater words have never been spoken in trucking .

[@chriskahlson]

Wow what a great trip you’ve been having best of luck the APU looks top notch too

[@adriandavis9790]

About time you polished those fuel tanks and steps Dan stay safe🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@franciscosandiego3026]

It's good to see you back in the groove. Stay safe

[@kurtkuipers9473]

We got 10 in of snow coming here in Chicago tomorrow and Tuesday 10 in of snow all the way across the lake

[@toddjohnson6809]

Congrats on selling your trailer. Trying to do the same.

[@lydiaanderson582]

@Hello Todd how are you doing?

[@TheDaf95xf]

Morning Dan. Hope your ok and well? That's fantastic news you've sold your old trailer. Got some dollars 💵 back so treat the misses to some flowers 🌺 lol 😂 Take care out there if the bad weather comes your way? Hope the new little APU does the business keeping you warm. Until the next time see ya cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧

[@mattoates7636]

Anyone that say's you're securing the plastic pipe wrong or it isn't legal has obviously never hauled the stuff.

[@seagullsbtn]

Congrats. Now onto the "new truck".

[@normangilbert1236]

Great videos Mr. Dan.

[@johnmcclain7072]

Love the videos Dan. Truck it safe brother

[@mrplowjrezv]

2 straps utilizing a direct securement configuration is perfectly legal albeit half the total WLL which is fine for these.. Keep up the good work.

[@frklein1]

Your truck looks mighty nice!

[@codyhart6513]

Think it’s funny how Dan sticks his bottom lip out when he is concentrating, my granddad does the same thing! Lol

[@dougmgoblue2670]

Hi Dan, I live on the North West side of Grand Rapids. Heavy snow is predicted south of us and around Chicago. Supposed to start Late Monday! Good luck and I have seen a few Mercer trucks around here but not yours!

[@Somebody-2223]

Welcome to indy Dan. I live about an hour north of there in Frankfort. I enjoy the videos. Makes me want to be out on the road. Something I've never had a chance to do.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Good news about the trailer. 😊 Stay safe Dan.

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Dan. That's great that you moved on the old trailer, having trailers lying up for too long doesn't do them any good. Once the money starts coming in, it might stay coming. Its Monday morning 25th January 2021 as I check out your video. It was 24f up until 10am here this morning, which by our standards is pretty cold (-4c). Greetings from Ireland ☘

[@skiprussell8153]

Dan, the Dorsey Trailer looks great. Did you get another truck? I like the truck, looks great too. Happy trails my friend, stay safe.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Safe travels.

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool video Dan 👍

[@jackseaa3911]

Hey Dan, i learned to do button turns and it makes it really easier to turn those sharp turns. but the down side is that when you make those turns , its possible to leave your turn lane open for cars to slip in between your trailer., but if you have not cars going in and out its great.

[@Intell3ctualProperty]

You can add a dump valve switch inside your cab to dump trailor

[@tboproductionsify1]

stopped what I was watching when this popped up lol

[@maxracingteam23]

Same here!

[@k.l.channel5953]

Same here

[@billupstateny9151]

Me too

[@mikeyocain]

Definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the apu. I've been trying to decide on one for my truck. They all promise great reliability and functionality but most of them have mixed reviews. Just want something dependable and easy to service for my $10k.

[@williamfrancis2327]

Was my choice to park on that side also.

[@deloreandmc9600]

Nice trailer

[@shaunie1574]

hi dan from the riverland of south australia in australia

[@cjpatz]

Hey Trucker Dan. Great videos, keep it I. Love the equipment. Just a thought, it would be cool if you put a logo of some sort on the back trailer mudflaps above Dorsey logos. If you have a logo..

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Great news for you

[@dougtervo5016]

Watching from the U.P of Mich BIG PAPA

[@truckman63]

One thing i'd warn you about on that carrier is the temp sensor likes to wiggle itself loose from time to time.

[@lsankey9019]

Hey Dan.. that little green thing on your top bunk, looks like it is poking its head out to see what your doing...lol... drive safe sir

[@Krieghandt]

Better not tell Terysa, she'll buy a new horse!! Maybe you can make a Seattle run, you haven't been that way in a while.

[@mrplowjrezv]

Not sure if it helps or works on yours, but when I got my dump valve with the lift axle up it trips the safety on the lift axle and it drops. It works great incase you encounter a tight spotm

[@reggiesmith2535]

Morning Dan

[@danielvrana9444]

Congrats on the trailer sale!!

[@Sound-GuyJC]

I live in Elkhart. You are probably at the new Loves on 17 and 20

[@rich-mp6dm]

Did you get your fuel leveling fixed?I'm a Locomotive Engineer and have down time in the hotel and enjoy your videos.

[@terence8923]

1 less headache. Cash in hand is always better

[@colbymason8054]

We can teach you how to become a better truck driver, just run your straps on the outside of the rub rails.😂🍻 Thanks for the professional, entertaining, knowledgeable information on trucking.

[@barrymaddock2739]

Dan we're 70 and 65 split in lndy is 65 south close

[@SketchyTrash]

What is the plan for your other truck?

[@markwaslin7370]

Dan how's the dorsey doing, was looking at that brand myself

[@Corkfish1]

Do you have any videos of life on the road? What's the interior of your cab like and whats the longest time you've spent on the road?

[@Lucky_22317]

I love watching your videos, it’s a weekly thing I do is to catch up on your channel. What GPS do you us & do you like it, if you don’t mind. Can you show us what you use & some of the pros/cons of it? Thanks, as always stay safe out there driver & thanks for doing what you do

[@gumby442]

Hey quick question. With the tag up, is the weight gage effective? Just wondering. Safe trip.

[@ervinhenschel9260]

That truck with a good polish on tanks and wheels would look amazing. Any chance that happens soon?

[@larrypate2683]

Enjoy your video’s

[@MrJim0823]

Hey Dan

[@joewlosjosephwlos5713]

Dan , this is probably a dumb question , but do any trucks have bathrooms ? Just crossed my mind watching today's video. Cheers !

[@curtisnoble.]

Dan you need some chicken lights man, at lease a couple lights in the breathers

[@jeffwrinkle575]

What is/was the empty weight difference between the old trailer and the new Dorsey trailer?

[@lydiaanderson582]

@Hello Jeff how are you doing?

[@scottgreene844]

He said about 2000 pounds.

[@WhiteLinesBlueSkies]

Dan, can you go over the problems with turning or backing too sharp with a spread axle? Thanks. WLBS Ken

[@bigrigger5617]

I that APU make a lot of noise when you are trying to sleep?

[@iancoupe20v43]

only just noticed wind down windows thats so old all uk trucks have eclectic windows

[@hammers1518]

He's not a wheel holder.

[@wbball15]

Great stuff, Dan

[@roadtrain5910]

cool that you sold your old trailer but did you keep the alloy rims that came off the 389 when you fixed the trailer up ?????

[@timjoyce9380]

Most trailers have winches on right side.

[@christianalexandervelasco5189]

What kind of gps do you use ?

[@johnhill3250]

Please give some details on the generator. How does it keep the truck warm?

[@timatwell3728]

he can plug the block heater into it to keep engine warm is only heat Apu is only electric power

[@southwesttrucker8543]

Question I can install toolbox for reefer trailer

[@robinbollstrom1292]

how much is the apu instald and redy

[@eddiepacheco7885]

When you say putting the axle down do you mean lowering the trailer suspension? I know its a dumb question Lol

[@rubentoms2413]

Gud truck

[@mooss1122]

🙋🏻‍♂️ Hi Peace be upon you 🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome In the care and protection of God. God willing 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@ronniehayward3730]

are you no longer trucking

[@lydiaanderson582]

Hello Ronnie how are you doing?

[@kbock7383]

Not sure I understand why it is easier to turn with both trailer axles down as opposed to just the aft axle.

[@wesleyboyd1810]

The turning point on the trailer is from the first axle on the ground behind the tractor

[@hellking88]

It changes where the rear of the trailer pivots on. So instead of it pivoting on the centerline if the rear axle it pivots on the middle point between the two axles. That allows you to make tighter turns and makes the trailer turn faster.

[@p1kkujuha]

He has a dump valve on rear axle, so dropping front and dumping rear axle shortens the wheelbase.

[@kbock7383]

@@hellking88 While it sort of makes sense my mind is thinking you now have a "scuffing" effect when turning on two points. In my mind I was thinking one axle would make it easier. @p1kkujuha mentioned he had a dump valve on the rear axle but with this trailer I alway see the forward axle raised. Thanks for the replies.

[@toddstepan7712]

Did Mercer charge you a storage fee?

[@harleyhawk7959]

take a right at the next right, then turn right. Right?

[@timothygala1583]

I caught that too.

[@hammers1518]

Now that's funny. I see what you did there!

[@SURFDADDY1966]

Dan, we need to strap ourselves down _ we're both gaining a lot of weight:): Retired Chief here,, Thanks for the vids!

[@frederickoning191]

This has to be a good start to a new year in so many ways! Lot's of progress in the month of January. A lot of new investment to great profit!
