Dan, my grandfather's and my dad's name, I am so very thankful you survived a Covid scare. So many have been lost. It staggers reality. I think about connecting when you zip through Alabama, but realize it is just a moment. That you are affiliated with Dorsey in Elba, AL is really awesome to me. I live North in Huntsville near I65 and have seen videos of you zooming through... Indeed, I live vicariously through your videos. Please keep them coming... I appreciate the effort involved. Your efforts are truly appreciated. I watch and learn and appreciate how much we depend on people like you. From me, thank you. Maybe one day, our paths may cross. Steak is on me... Kindest regards, Marshall son of Dan :)

Watched the last video, cooking on stove, buying that truck was best thing you can do for yourself. All the best, hope your totally over that virus. driving with Schmidt’s, and fsc trucking they both should have their sleepers replaced , like the one you have. Then that German Shepard would have real room. And they can have a shower and good cooking like you. All though little harder on a cab over. Only saw one cab over with that type of sleeper.

Having a sleeper with a kitchen and a bathroom is the best thing ever for break time. Living on fast food and truck stop showers really stinks. Did over the road for most of my driving career. 32 years worth. Have a good run to Alabama and I hope you get around the storm. Greasy side down.

Great video! I have found it to be a lot easier on an old man (like me) if you pull the chains on the ground and then throw the spools on the trailer. :-) Most places don't have any issue waiting for you and some of the places we pick up spools would rather we did it that way. Truck is looking good!! Safe travels to you and the pup!
