I loaded in Dallas this morning heading to Saint Louis. I took the southern route to try to miss the ice and snow.

[@paulsccna2964]

Super-Trucker-Dan! Rocken down the road.

[@jptransport8830]

I made it in the video. I played as a extra truck in the background at Prescott.

[@wbball15]

Great job, Dan

[@user-uh9lg9wg1d]

I learned to back up before I learned to go forward. Haha. Ran a yard dog for a bit in the beginning, sure taught me a lot about backing maneuvers, especially when we get in tight truck stops etc

[@coop919]

I was involved in a pileup outside New Orleans years ago and a truck slid in between two others and a pipe just like those slid into the back of the cab through the sleeper. The driver was ok and actually climbed through the pipe to get out. Never forget that one!

[@brianbridle951]

My in-laws lived just down 55 from Memphis at Batesville. Now they're in Tupelo.

[@donchastain4516]

Don't know about some,but I think most of us learned alot about backing like that driver,my trucking school was a boss telling me,there's your truck,get in it and go.🤣.That was back in 72.Ya,I'm old,but still Trucking.😁.Have a safe trip.Later

load is a cell antenna tower

[@josephsoka1565]

This guy is down to earth! I like your videos very informative!

[@shawnhoeppner4293]

Thanks Dan

[@turbo5488]

Dan you drive safe because we got snow since this morning and do you and that way I don't know where it ends or starts at you're probably unloaded already dan you drive safe

[@shahidwasim4473]

Hello dan thanks for the video, that load looks massive against your flatbed, have a safe journey 🙏

[@adriandavis9790]

You were ripped off there Dan you could of used your sweatshirt ,same colour .stay safe Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@bigholli8449]

I’ve slept in JJs truck stop quite a few times. Beautiful sunrises out there

[@jeremymurphy7320]

That looks like a load of utility poles or pieces of a utility structure from good ol' Sabre Industries in Alvarado, TX. I remember when that plant was built around 2000 or 2001. Or was that Fort Worth Tower? Same ownership...

[@B.E.Long.63]

I'm so old i remember when truck stops were cheap to eat and get stuff, NOT no more. hehehe. The greed is everywhere now. Peace and God Bless.

[@thadelgin4538]

The high price of fuel done dried up all the trucker money courtesy granny cuyler. Squidbillys

[@devtrash]

the only profession where there is no greed, the truck driver.

[@donchastain4516]

Know what you mean Bill Long.I actually remember real truck stops,not the bull shit like the Service Centers they got now.Real restaurants for truckers only,most always had some parking,and they respected the drivers.Those were the days.Long gone now 😭

[@kevinsunderman4432]

That's the way I learned backing too! :)

[@jakeoht791]

I live in STL today all the roads were covered in ice. Oh and just a note we like to put salt on our roads until there is no more road visible. Make sure to get a good undercarriage wash. Sorry you had to come on one of our worst days.

[@dancrafton89]

I think you did good Dan. We have had ice here in northeast Oklahoma since Sunday afternoon. There has been a lot of wrecks here in Oklahoma the last couple of days. My son was reading a list of 100s of wrecks that OHP has work today. It gave how many non-injury and injury and fatal they had worked today. Be glad you play it smart and drove the extra miles. God bless and stay safe.

[@chuckyf-u2395]

That's a good looking load 👌

[@kayseifert7168]

02-08-2021 Here in Mo. we are having freezing rain and light snow..temp. Is not going to be above freezing this whole week..It most probably because that ground hog seen his shadow..It has been a decent winter so far, but guess Mother Nature felt like shaking things up for now..Have a great day..Be safe..😀👍☕️🇺🇸

[@shahidwasim4473]

Will manage time to go through all your videos one by one, thanks

[@pedrogilcorreia]

I did that and it's worth it. Great professional!

[@Dennis379c16]

If you're not going that way ,why watch the weather, COME ON DAN!

[@bengone3349]

Basic awareness on his part seeing the big picture.

[@hammers1518]

It's called I'm sitting in my truck doing noting so maybe I'll look and if somebody else is watching his video they will get to find out from him and maybe take course correction. Just saying.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir Dan !!!! Thanks for the video !!! From where you are in AR.. ,,you could run US 67 North to St. Louis instead of running I-55 out of Memphis !!! Shorter Route !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!

[@vegaslimoguy2376]

I'm sure he knows about 67 and that is a less traveled and goes through every little Podunk town as well. And those roads aren't treated with salt as well as interstate 55 is. I'm sure he doesn't need any guidance on which roads to go. Remember shorter isn't safer, especially in the winter time.

[@jthitchens2672]

Safe travels ol boy

Every time i been on your channel I learn somthing new thanks dan 👍

I-55 Double Nickel sounds like a solid plan to make your grand entrance up into the STL Area. 😬👍

[@roadtrain5910]

very cool and long load Daniel

Hope you got a good nights rest at JJ's, that's where I am on Sunday mornings. We have church for the drivers at 8:30 AM at the Travelers Chapel there. Everyone is always welcome.

I learned how to back up beside the school, when we drove the 96" x 45' and when they change up to 102" x 53' at ontario, ca truck stops. the ta and the fj. One was up the hill the other down the hill, before they leveled it some what..

[@garyskowbo3564]

Thanks for sharing another great video with us, mister Dan! I will say it again that is a very sharp looking setup you have there. Of course I am a bit partial, Peterbilt 379s are my favorite! Safe travels to you.

[@larryrs]

Glad to see you made it thru my part of the state--JJ's is near Benton AR at the 106 mm

[@franciscosandiego3026]

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

[@StephenMeyer58]

I live in OK, it's freezing up and cold. Stay safe in the rain tomorrow.

[@dennismckown4951]

i was watching some videos about road conditions and snow, and it looked like even the southern route wasn't snow free. but seems you've gone a route that's snow free, so far, Dan.

[@bigunone]

Heard from my brother and SIL Friday they had just crossed over Eisenhower pass in Co, heading east, my brother was out taking the chains off, IIRC they were headed towards Nashville

[@allendodson9881]

Happy Trails Dan........

Love the dramatic music while loading, that’s a nice touch. Stay safe, it was nasty here in OK, on Monday.

[@greglammers9905]

Be glad your not coming to Minnesota, -6 for the high yesterday and today. It’s been below zero here since Friday. We aren’t supposed to see above zero till next week. Drive safe Dan, enjoy the videos.

[@hjc5458]

I agree hold off on the tank polishing until the winter weather is over.

[@jamesleake2121]

Stay safe out there Dan sounds like you are heading into some bad weather cold and freezing rain and snow

[@reggiesmith2535]

Morning. When I saw those poles I thought you were heading to Jackson, Alabama. Lol. They're putting up those kind of poles and I watched 6 flatbed pass on Hwy84 hauling them

Good video Dan, be careful out there. Cheers mate.

[@russelltrupia4479]

Good choice Dan ,up here in Oklahoma it was a icy mess.

[@texasproud3332]

Dan The DOT requirements for trucking are just the minimum kind of like the trade I am in which is the building trades there codes are just the minimum I go beyond that every day to do what I think is right 👍

[@tomtimmons5334]

Comment number 4. Be well my friend.

[@madduball9998]

Dan i have got a question for you and maybe you have the answer for it . Your truck is almost23 years old so why not put new tanks on your truck and get it over with . If you take them apart you will have to replace the straps and gaskets and you might have a thin spot in the tank were the straps go which may cause a leak in your tank . If it were me i would look into new tanks and boxes for the truck i would take the safe way out and not get hit with a EPA charge or fine for any problems . Like i said that is just my way of thinking and doing things to keep working and staying safe ....

The fuel tank is going to take time and can be down when there is no time or money pressure and weather forecast is sunny. The power poles are so nicely secured straddling the dunnage, smart

Here in South West In. we are scheduled to get ice around 3:am on 2/10/21. I don't believe we are supposed to get A lot, but it doesn't take A lot of ice to satisfy me.

Yes a very wise decision going the long way as you found out. Coldest & snowiest since 2001 in Davenport Iowa. Don’t you have to flag the front hang over? Thanks

[@PMcCut]

I drove a car carrier for years coast to coast and we had to flag any overhang 4’ beyond the tail lights. Never the front only the exposed overhang at the furthest point.

The old girl looks great. The truck is designed to make you money and it's clear that you take care of her. She doesn't need to be in the beauty salon every week otherwise she's costing you more than she makes you.

[@tywinters9462]

Nothing wrong with a driver investing in his truck to look good and taking pride in their ride. Not everybody wants to drive around in a shit box of a truck. As much time we spend in the truck, might as well love and enjoy what you drive.

[@Alan302-05]

Be careful into St. Louis, we just had 2.5 inches of snow flurries they were not predicting. 16.5 degrees, so it is on the roads. Could you have used your Dorsey Trailer LED Flasher lights instead of buying expensive flags? Thanks for the video, stay safe.

[@j.r.branch1681]

Have u thought anything about changing the exhaust and out the elbows at the bottom between the tanks and steps 7 inch or 8 inch I think that would look really good on the truck I know that stuff don’t make no money but sure would look good

Hey Dan, what distance from the pole or any load that’s close to the tractor or headache rack do you not go beyond for turning radius of tractor? Is it 3ft.? Thanks in advance!
