Good morning! My dad was the man in the jeep that spoke to you at the gas station and waved to you on Hwy 29. He’s a HUGE fan! Thank you so much for taking the time to say “hello”. You made his day! Safe travels! You have a new subscriber!

[@anamericanidiot8044]

your adorable 👌

[@arrowkart4j]

I absolutely hate construction sites. Nobody knows anything and then they get you into bad situations on the site. Last time on a site I refused to enter the site because of all the mud and poor road conditions.. I had them off of load me in the street.

[@bigrigger5617]

That Conestoga Wagon trailer you showed in the opening clips is what you need. No more nasty tarp jobs

[@HeuristicalWorker]

Epic intro music: 0:10, Love to everyone, love to Dan!

[@pauldietrich478]

Reminds me of the days when I made gravel deliveries to job sites. So many different contractors working on many different phases of the project and finding the person you need is a P.I.T.A....

[@annybanks8686]

Hello how are you doing today

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Poor Dan and Bailey ..Directions in 1980s were like come Here ..."Just follow me. We will just show you.. " my Job was at a steel mill W e use to load Mercer trucks ....(Little did we know ..)

[@johnsadventures6783]

The the guy at the gas station was waving real big. He said there goes Super Trucker Dan in the Orange Blossom Special. Lol

[@coldfork4235]

That was my grandpa he was super happy to meet him!

[@annybanks8686]

Hello John how are you doing today

[@HunterAtheist]

I think this truck fits your personality better than a white truck. You seem to like the loud colored shirts too. I bet you get more attention in this truck because of the color and the sleeper. Great video as always.

[@nobdurbin1951]

Dan, I realy like the new Orange truck the best ty for the videos

[@xman0767]

The video started in my neck of the woods where I grew up,.. Brewton Alabama. That left was in Flomaton al.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Take care Dan Safe travels.

[@maryrussell7298]

Your truck looks great

[@cleckler2935]

Bailey was looking at you with her paw on your shoulder saying, I know you had a hard day dad, but it’s time to eat!

[@fredflintstone8048]

My dogs keep me on schedule as well. I get the 'paw' when it's time to eat.. I look over at the clock and they're right.

[@themayorofdipshittery3646]

Would love to know the fuel consumption when you’re running fully freighted compared to your previous vehicle. 👍

[@dominick253]

Smiles per gallon are through the roof though 😉

[@robertallred2368]

Yes you were smart to use 2 straps.

[@areyes1979ar]

Hello Dan and Bailey good to hear from you two you got it made in the shade get to pick a load that brings you back to Arizona for a long weekend love your tractor its beautiful. You and Bailey have a safe trip back to Arizona my friend please keep the videos rolling.

[@hannahh.a.709]

Hey! Love you and your channel. Im Adrian from Cape Town South Africa and im your new subscriber 🤙🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@MrJim0823]

NICE RIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Dan

[@mikedunn8506]

Like the new truck

[@Saddletramp1200]

The best thing about flat bedding is you never know what to expect!

[@dominick1lucero]

(7:25) once they start giving directions using "a pole" as a landmark, you know you're screwed

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Sometimes on the bigger construction sites the have a road system witch makes searching easier but sadly the dont do that often. Nice video Dan.

[@annybanks8686]

Hello how are you doing today

[@edcronin5409]

good trucking music b

[@johnferreira2044]

Bailey's putting his leg up on your shoulder Dan , hes trying to tell you the lazy som bit should have came out and met you and that way you could have followed him in dad 😁 It was like turn right at the frist mud hole turn left where the mud is all slimy , Turn right at the second mud hole and then backup and then come back out to the street , I think he could have handle his load a little bit better than what he done to you Dan , nice ride looking good, Be safe take care of yourself

[@mocpehusrainey4961]

Good to see real professional drivers still exist. So many of these guys are just out of hand anymore. It used to be a brotherhood now it's everyman for himself. Texting and swerving, tailgating, just hauling ass through construction zones. Now it seems to be the thing to put their left foot either on the dash or out the window while pushing one of these things down the road at 80,000 lbs. doing 15 mph over the speed limit. It's nuts.

[@seagullsbtn]

Labeling gates is too simple an idea for them to grasp… and would make your job easier

[@imyourhuckleberry4547]

Construction sites change on a weekly basis. One week a gate might be in use and the next week it may no longer be a useable entry point. Theres holes and trenches being dug all over the place to lay pipes and wiring, etc. No point in making one gate specifically for something if its likely going to change at any point in time. That's why you don't typically see gates being marked specifically for deliveries or anything else on the site unless it's a smaller gate for personel.

[@leeshaver7825]

My pops was in constriction for 50 years a good supervisor or foreman would of said where you at and what color is your truck I'll meet you and you can follow me in or he could of sent someone to follow in On a job that big that's what you do

[@ESPSJ]

Oh man, that reminds me of when I used to deliver to construction sites. NO one knows anything, and when someone finally gives directions they are the WORST directions you'll receive in your entire life and when you finally find the unload spot they tell you either A. the forklift is getting serviced or is broken B. the only forklift driver this side of town has just gone for a 1 hour lunch break 🙃

[@dprrn]

Your comment reminds me of a time that I was scheduled to deliver a load of bathtubs to Tampa Fl on a friday morning. I get there and find the guy and they FORGOT to get the permits to unload off of the street. I had gotten started at 0630 for an 0800 delivery, I was back where I started at about 11. thought I was gonna be stuck there till monday but they magically got some kind of approval to get me Saturday at 8. got paid pretty well for that screw up.

[@kp__truckin]

🤣💯couldn’t of said it any better👌🏼🤙🏻🤣🤣

[@nabilmarsheh8731]

What's the full length of your tractor? Safe roads always trucker 🚛 👋

[@tonynorris1250]

Looks like the "ORANGE CRATE" (Schwinn Bicycle) rides really good! Happy Trails ol son!

[@sjgoode6590]

Truck looks slick Dan! Safe travels...

[@halwilliams1682]

I can't believe there couldn't have been someone in a side by side to lead you to the correct location. What do these construction outfits think or do they think at all? Do you worry about getting nails or screws in the tires in a mess like that?

[@robertallred2368]

I've delivered to several job sites, and they normally do have someone meet you at the gate, so you can fallow them in

[@danamartin9734]

Love the truck it must be pure pleasure driving it

[@ralphromair5176]

I really enjoy your views of the road, and pickup/delivery sites. Your work days, are my “adventures”. Safe travels; from Houston Texas.

[@Oheeeoh]

Your new truck looks like something straight out of an old ZZ top poster. Thanks for the video Dan and Bailey!

[@smokingjoe9864]

Yell at him Dan. He doesn't have a gate number and or an address posted at the gate. I would of been scared to pull in there. I would Not of pulled in there. No signs or nothing. Put him on your list!!! Hundreds of trucks are delivering at the life of the construction sight. And union boy wants to play games on the phone! Put some signs up!

[@devtrash]

union? in Florida? that's a stretch.

[@smokingjoe9864]

@@devtrash brasfield & Gorrie building a hospital and they are not Union. I am surprised. I guess your right about Florida. No way would a non union construction company get to build a hospital in Minnesota.

[@hughcox7001]

Looking good 👍 safe travels

[@kirktitgen2309]

What a muddy mess …oh lord that stinks !!!

[@waynecook5183]

Looks like you are on 280 south good looking truck have a safe one

[@bryanritts213]

Nice ride Dan!!

[@maxim123456789000]

you ain't no owner operator. No owner operator pays 25% of their gross earning to a company that provides a dot number. You're a company driver that pays for fuel/insurance and maintenance.

[@georgewilson1184]

You have a lot of gadgets in your windshield be careful some states will give you a hassle over that Dan

[@kens.3729]

Could the “Morons” at the Construction Site provide a human you can follow to Unload area ?🤪👎

[@Thecowboy1950]

Awesome job

[@DLSWV]

Shiftin that 18 like a boss. 😉

[@debrastarke3996]

Nice rig! Could you show us how that18 speed shifts?

[@davidschabel4664]

did a lot of mud drops on rgn lowboy, got to the point it was a waste driving around in the mud, began telling th toy hereose few shippers receivers, i load and on load on solid ground, a few called the company i was leased to, shippers and receivers were told if the driver doesn't want his truck in there, we don't want our trailer in there either, pull

[@ronthompson3525]

These construction site guys work in a place all day long and still can’t figure out how to get a truck driver end of the place that they’re at every day for the last 10 months

[@mikewencho]

Hi Dan love your new Love Shack!! I am digging it ……..

[@garypollard9770]

That was a muddy mess? That is what goes on with these large construction sites! No one knows what is going on and it usually ends up being a mess and most of the time you wind up rolling tarps up in the mud! Good long run for weekend tho. Take care and be safe!

[@mikeyocain]

I'd be pissed taking my Polished rig through that clay mud

[@tommyg7941]

At least

[@annybanks8686]

Hello Gary how are you doing today

[@richardeckert6130]

You would have thought they could have come out and met you

[@markpontes4457]

👍Maybe while your driving you could compare and contrast what this truck is like compared to the other one! Like RPM s at a certain speed, ride quality, pulling power. 👍

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Dan

[@PenelopePeppers]

Rig Sure Looks Nice Dan :)

[@diesellife.4240]

Dan, do you notice much difference with the be tractor having a longer wheel base in cities ?

[@richardeckert6130]

Truck is not as dirty as I thought it would be After Being in that mud pit

[@danielloveall2952]

I can't. Understand why didn't he just come find you and Guide you in

[@Martin-bb1qm]

Like a pro. Slow is smooth. And smooth is fast. Protect that orange pete. God. I hate deliveries like this.

[@rugerdude6784]

I was the guy who unloaded trailers at muddy crappy job sites.All my steel came off by hand.Approx 42,43000 lbs per load.We were always a day too late or a month to early!Big o pain in my ass!

[@JB-mf1zc]

It's a win win when you have your own shower etc!

[@tekman196]

Good morning Dan . Thanks for starting my Friday off right . Always looking forward to your videos . Safe travels in that new truck .

[@jeffsutton950]

I thought teresa was gonna start running with you?

[@donleamon8653]

So, Dan, I know it is still early, but how does it feel to drive? Does the added wheelbase make highway driving less fatiguing? Maybe after a bit, you could give your thoughts. Kind of a compare/contrast. I would think that being more or less fully self-contained now would make each workday easier. Plus the deskspace for paperwork and YT editing. I've really enjoyed your videos over the years BTW!

[@davidathey7903]

How are you enjoying the conveniences of the larger sleeper on the road so far? Nice to actually have a meal, shower, and desk to work at without the hassle of finding a Love’s?

[@brianhamilton9392]

i see alot of guys running the spread axles in the states, any particular reason why? Up here in Canada it would be considered a quantum axle and you would be limited to 9100 kgs(20062 pounds) on the rear of the trailer, where a normal tandam axle would get 17000 kgs(37478 pounds). We just don't see the spread axles up here much, lots of tandams and triaxle trailers.

[@davidbreman2494]

Got the truck & trailer looking really good I take it your really satisfied with your knew set up being able to cook & shower in the truck it's always nice to have similar amenities where you don't have to pay it look for a shower, it's been 21 years since I retired watching these videos I see alot has changed in the trucking industry showers $12 alot of truck stops gotta pay to park now I'm glad I'm not driving anymore at least you now have the luxuries in your knew truck it's nice to have all that. Happy trails Dan

🤣🤣 Bailey is very vocal when he's hungry.

[@andrewjacques3960]

Truck sounds good. Doesn't seem to work as hard as the white truck which, I assume should give better fuel mileage. The extra gears mean a lot going down the road.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Another excellent video. Thanks Dan.

[@chriskahlson]

Dan I’m really both impressed and happy you’ve got big red now and it’s running strong, the fact you can now shower and eat most anytime justifies the trade off for that extra weight and length. Just have to be a lite extra careful picking loads and locations away from congested urban cities and areas which you do anyway. Great video love Bailey, you’re living and working a dream life !

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

It doesn't look good with a hearse at a construction site. Many construction sites have guides that lead trucks to where they have to be. Some have maps of the facility. Looks like they have the gates numbered. I would demand that they provide a map.

Not sure if you heard it or not, but I drove by in my personal vehicle on 110 and I double honked as a way to say Hello to Pcola. It's a new hospital. They tore down my old work down there. Nice to see the drive from another KZbinrs pov.

They really should’ve had a person at the gate or at least jump into the truck with you to direct you to where you’re going.
