I like Dan's ultra-modern ring tone 😁

[@jamesupton143]

The last cell phone I bought didn't have an alert tone that I could hear. I have some hearing loss and the only ringtone that I can really hear is the old rotary phone ring. Some of us older folks go back to what we know just works. Y'all stay safe.

[@stevepackard8542]

Dan, along with your superior trucking skills, you know how to put a video together. Your editing skills are the best. The content is entertaining, to the point, and usually under 17 minutes! Other channels should copy your method.

[@ericdee6802]

I agree,Dan definitely has a fantastic and informative and entertaining channel. I never miss an episode. 👍

[@adambrunt7290]

I just happened to check to see if Dan uploaded and boom there he was lol

[@fishlips8336]

The 'ol dreaded I should've known better. Been there done that driver! Keep the videos coming please & thank you!

[@terrancegrant1664]

You're such a gentlemen on the phone, Dan. Good on you, sir!

[@jarredslade8673]

I saw you at the Loves in Hope Hull just south of Montgomery. I was in a blue kw with a load of shingles. I was kind of star struck haha

[@paul9874]

That was a nice drive through the woods and you missed the weigh stations.

[@JohnSmith-ug5ci]

Wow that one forklift operator constantly banging into your trailer. I think he would have heard from me on that.

[@tuxedorailfan4630]

Nice to see you were close to my neck of the woods. I work McElroy at the Cuba Terminal.

[@sylviareynolds8463]

Stay warm and safe.

[@mongomay1]

Thanks Dan and Bailey, Stay safe in this weather.

[@richardeckert6130]

I never even stopped at the truck stops in Gary lol

[@bigrigger5617]

That area is stickily ghetto country

[@vaughnhill3437]

Enjoying the warmer weather while your down south.

[@mohammadalwehebi5563]

It's good to see you back on the road again, I wish I have some of your patience

[@Pete-from-Tn]

There's a few places I told myself. Never again. 2 of those were last seen in the mid 80's. Still have not been back. Now that I'm retired, still will not go back.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels Dan

[@chuck25455]

Really like your trucking videos. Had a driver who used to deliver where I worked. He told me about the worst place he had to go to was in New York City. The only way he could back his 53 ft. trailer in was was to go the wrong way down a one way street. It was the only load he ever accepted for them.

[@albertmartin6298]

It's great to see you guys and be safe out there 👍

[@andrewj4442]

Film getting in there. I want to see it. Thanks! Safe travels!!

[@k.l.channel5953]

That engine after you made the right turn running thru the gears. The sound is truck pornography

[@gregthompson995]

Careful of the weather around the Gary area

[@classrockin]

Really enjoy your channel Dan. When those guys nearly dropped that equipment, it reminded me of a time when I went to Edwards Airforce Base to pickup a very large LeBlonde lathe, that was being transported to a local Jr College. Same situation, they were trying to load this massive lathe on my lowboy, using 2 average size forklifts. I stood way back because they were making me hella nervous. Lol. Well, you guessed it, they dropped the damn thing, and it rolled over on the front side, and broke off nearly every control mounted on the front. I believe it was surplus equipment, but still

[@timmorris7327]

Hey Dan, I work in Gary! I’ll be on the lookout for your truck. Welcome to Da Region!

[@garykocker5785]

So if remember from way back in the 90s the Buchanan street entrance to US Steel had the low bridges! We use to haul brickettes in or slag out! Lucky for me we had semi dumps with short stacks. Good luck Dan! Oh maybe a Train of the day coming!

[@AZTrucker]

Ekk...Gary, IN. Yeah no thank you. Careful with the weather as a nasty cold front coming.

[@MrHorsepro]

Dam I was worried about you and this weather situation!

[@freedomfan4272]

Got about 9" of mostly snow mixed with some sleet at home and i made it to work the next day after the storm. It takes me about a hour to get to work one way mostly back roads

[@chickenhauler8076]

I like loading at Calvert. I’m going back on the road Monday after being local for 8 years. I’m looking forward to it.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Travel safe, Dan.

[@danielvrana9444]

Your SO RIGHT!!! When I was Trucking for Ruan hauling lime dust for there water treatment!!! At the mill!!! I said nope one and done! That was my take on that. I just hate Chicago, Gary & Cadillac Mi. Oil fields!!! Stay safe!!

[@waltermccafferty6526]

Hello, Dan. First time to comment but have watched your videos for a few months now. Not seen everything. Enjoy the content particularly the road and pick up and delivery scenes. I like seeing how it is all done. I am a 74 year old son of a now deceased truck driver. I traveled briefly with my dad as a child, not as much as I would have liked. I like trucks, drivers and knowing more about the industry. It amazes me. Its been my life's ambition to drive a big rig but not to be a driver, now for sure. It thrills me when you pass through my area of west Alabama. Re: your video 559 from Michigan to Tuscaloosa to Love's at I-20/59 Eutaw (sounds like Utah) to Mobile/Calvert. My home is about 35 miles from both Tuscaloosa and the Love's (very familiar with both). Also familiar with both route options to Calvert and the Pilot there. Concur with your choice of Hwy 43. My wife and I recently passed thru Calvert. Curiosity took us down the "long" Steel Drive before we were turned back. Surprisingly disappointed! You also passed within 10 miles of home on Hwy 82 from Tuscaloosa to Starkville, MS. Sorry we didn't get video (but then no comments about hwy litter). Thank you for your service. Keep up the good work. I like your tractor and trailer.

[@johnnance648]

Dan, love to hear that "kitty" purr, pure music. Keep safe and warm out there in this crazy weather.

[@kens.3729]

Some times we let our Guard Down and do something we previously said we would Never do again. 🤔👎

[@RaoulThomas007]

Boy, they hit the trailer a couple of times on that first blower motor!

[@matthew52407]

That’s again for another one. Always enjoy watching. Safe travels.

[@thewatchmen4920]

Every dollar helps pay the bills. SAFE TRAVELS Mr Dan 🚛💨💨💨

[@bengone3349]

I didn't get a warm fuzzy about the guys unloading. Questioned the position of the last unit. Why not square it up for better load balance and room?

[@loucar7211]

Used to run into Inland Steel plant #4. 32 ft end dump. One of the guys came out with his PTO still engaged. Dump trailer elevated and he hit the overpass. It was ugly.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Safe travels Dan/Bailey.

[@rjc3095]

Yea I’ve picked up at that mill quite a few times. Be safe Dan

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@DLSWV]

👍😉. Truck sounds good. You go right on through them gears. 👍 Thanks the videos.

[@chrismarona8596]

Aww man it's been about 3 years since the last time I went up to that plant. My back hurts just thinking about it. The first time I went I was convinced I had gone the wrong way. It's like driving on the surface of the moon with all of those craters

[@dennismckown4951]

being a company driver, i didn't have that option except for one thing. after my 2 accidents in Queens, i flatly refused any pick ups or deliveries into NYC. only delivery i had with another company was to deliver some exotic stuff to an airport in NE Long Island. since i got there a day early. it was very quiet there and i didn't idle my truck. didn't mind that run and after that delivery i got the hell out there.

[@halwilliams1682]

A guy I went to high school with told me he made the mistake of delivering to some area of Philadelphia. He said a guy pointed a gun at him while another with bolt cutters cut the padlock and then some more joined in and started unloading. He told me never again. I always thought he was exaggerating but the way crime is now I believe him.

[@jimphelps100]

I’m telling ya those Gary bridges are rough. I found out the hard way the other day🙄

[@sssouth3889]

Still Dan if you go alongside the railway, we might see the train for the day, not seen one for a while. Stay safe

[@raywilson800]

Some places I went to during my 50 yr. tenure I remembered because they were either a good or bad place to unload or I remembered them because they were either a cinch to get in and out of or a complete pain in butt. Thanks for all your hard work

[@alvinjenkins8005]

Good video. Thanks for the ride. Stay Safe

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Dan for the video. Safe travels.

[@joyjones8396]

Love your videos, Dan. WE call woods, bush, here in Western Australia. Rob Jones

[@hughcox1375]

Safe travels

[@michaeldavenport5034]

Looking forward to your Gary, Indiana video. Imagine working at a place that doesn't have the correct fork lifts to do the job.

[@hammers1518]

Darn I was hoping you would answer " Hello, Super Dan here!"

[@orsonwells7997]

My Dad used to haul in and out of the mills in Gary. Used to be able to tell by the smell how close you were.

[@reggiehowze1891]

Yeap. U passed right thru my hometown. Grove Hill/Coffeeville.

[@robertduffin455]

Well done Dan tel it like it comes take the rough with the smooth Love the content stay safe and roll on the next adventure 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@skytechbits]

Now THAT was teamwork.

[@garymiller233]

I've been to that facility many times. Don't turn on street with low bridge. Go to next light turn right and make next right at stop sign and that will take you into the mill.

[@k.l.channel5953]

That new to you truck is just so so Nice

[@alexsmith8424]

Love watching the videos, keep on trucking 🚚, keep up the good work

[@bradleyschroeder1738]

Next exit off 912 past airport rd, to the casino, follow that rd to the industrial road, at the stop sighn make a right, next stop sign jont right fillow the blacktop road to the next stop sign olymic is on your right, way easier

[@evelynwilson7586]

Dan, Take the road less traveled usually the scenery is better. DW

[@virgoygr]

Hello sir, yes, one day I could put a camera in the trailer so that the truck can be seen turning and accelerating, thank you! Good videos greetings from the Canary Islands ✌️💯👍👍👍

[@reggiehowze1891]

Hey Dan. When you unloaded in Tuscaloosa did you take Highway 43 to Calvert? If so you passed thru my area. Grove Hill, Alabama. Stay safe

[@janeweldon8874]

Glad you missed the most of the nasty weather!

[@jamessimms415]

RECOGNIZE the place. GAF Shingle plant on the West side of Tuscaloosa. Go down that way off to the right where the Oliver Lock & Dam is on the Black Warrior River to see how high the river is after heavy rains. BTW, it’s U-taw (Eutaw). Safe travels & Roll Tide Roll…. Plus you traveled over the ‘Dolly Parton Bridge’ (for obvious reasons 😎) over the Mobile River.

[@rpm773]

Calvert, AL? I know that place. Not because I've loaded or delivered there. Hell, I'm not even a trucker. I just know it from watching this channel :D

[@truckinfam2207]

Very nice neat tarping you do.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great video again, a bit strange unloading i hope the Dorsey is ok :-)

[@jerseycowboy1]

I was in Rhode Island, then Maine, now Wisconsin... -7 by morning have to untarp..in morning! Haha

[@bmjnk3]

hey I deliver beer to that truck stop in Eutaw!

[@alandavey3010]

great videos dan , dan that coil you carry is about 21 tonnes here in aussie , another axle though, we could carry 2 coils , payloads are what its about, as you know , although running costs much higher here , no parking fees, though a, b double can run about 77 tonnes gross now , remember for your, health is wealth ,no sugar i lost10 kilo over 7months , frozen vegtables ,grain bread , light lemon water , happy new year

[@leeyorke2297]

Love watching your videos Dan

[@Mark-be4ii]

Anybody else listen for his location cues and map out his route while watching, or is that just old desk jockey me?

[@jamessimms415]

Yep. Look @ Google Earth to find it

[@jvjoe4376]

Great video over looking your loads on your flat trailer. Now is that fixed mounted camera? Great content, I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.

[@jaynelson5373]

I would regret taking that load as well, but for the opposite reason. Last time I was in Calvert, it was an all day experience. Olympic in Gary is OK.

[@kennardjohnson7875]

Yep it's a dirt road, but the hole place is nasty, they water the roads to keep the dust down, slag mud, takes a few truck washes to get clean. US steel

[@madcowmark7129]

CHEERS FROM AUSTRALIA.

[@kevinbowers3917]

As a commission based auto technician,, I wish I could say no.. Only rarely can we kick one out. Cheers,ed.

[@johnwoodrome6176]

Love the channel

[@rongenovese4416]

Dan.. Its been awhile since i trucked with my skateboard ,and other drivers have probably mentioned it...is a roll-tide or Conestoga fit your needs. Ive had both and enjoyed having to not tarp.

[@blobby273]

I would buy some buckets to put over the pointy bits of a load . save time to protect the tarp

[@lukewinkels6855]

You got a call from Mace the southern gentleman. Always liked him and his loads. 12694 Luke

[@Sunchaser83]

Mercer’s best agent!!

[@tophand1918]

Them forklift drivers didn't have a clue

[@maxpuppy96]

That Gary Indiana plant sucks and your always too high to get in, it is a nightmare.

[@ericdee6802]

Iam running a flatbed and currently in Spanish Fork Utah, and it's 22° and I have tarps on 49,000lbs of iron, the tarps are friggen frozen and I have to now try to fold and roll them up. The tarping side of this job is for the birds, and the cheesy $50 incintive for tarping sucks serious balls 🤣

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Thank you for your videos. The town where you was at loves. Eutaw Is pronounced like the state of Utah. I hope you got to see the hay bale art just south of forkland on hwy 43. It would have been on the right heading south and about halfway between eutaw and demopolis.

[@johnferreira2044]

Truck and trailer looking good Dan , I think that 4 bar forklift driver he was on the wrong side of the trailer that is what it looked like to me , But you can not tell a fork left driver anything , If you do he will make you set there until he went home before he got it off your trailer 😂 , But like you say you got to take the crap once in a while 😂😂 baileys a happy camper boy 😁 be safe take care yourselve Dan

[@drsmith8101]

Sure would like to see more road footage thru the woods

[@seagullsbtn]

Add it to your good Karma credits. Cash in when needed.

[@chriskahlson]

How about looking into a washer dryer for the sleeper ?

[@tonyatwood1353]

Hey Dan I was on I-30 west bound and I thought I saw your truck headed east towards Sulpher Springs Tx was that you?

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Dan !!! Did he hit your trailer on the driver's side with the lift ?? Didn't look good as you said !! Anyhows, If I'm correct ,,think you videoed that plant in IN.. B/4 with the "LOW"" bridge !!! Have a good week & GLAD you missed ""IZZY"" ,, but another STORM "" coming !!

[@hankrains1705]

Dan, wish your videos were longer

[@ederdner9609]

Man i can't believe they made u tarp outside

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Great 👍 video

[@tj1468]

I haul blowers like that for my company.

[@Aaron71304]

Alrighty then 👍👏

[@faronensley417]

Hey Dan, question, when I have to drive through the woods as you call it, it drives me crazy to get behind 4 wheelers going 10-15 mph under the speed limit. It almost always pays me to take the long way around just so I can pass slower vehicles or have them be able to pass me on upgrades. Just wondering if that’s a problem for you. Great job!

[@brucefick5871]

How about dumping black tank ? Or don't you use toilet like Sasnak ? Just wondering. U hang in there

[@freedomfan4272]

Falls out bottom of the sleeper like it did in the old days of riding passenger trains

[@mikekahl5609]

Mercer must have to many loads, they are posting on flatloads to get things hauled.
