Dan, you ARE VERY easy going. You put up with much more than most drivers would. You are a credit to the trucking industry.

[@Chuck59ish]

Like I was told years ago, if you don't learn something new every day, the day is wasted. I'm 69, going on 70 years and I learn something new every day, whether I can use it or not.

[@dchawk81]

I waste a lot of days then. 😃

[@pirep777]

Ah yes, patience and problem solving. Love watching a truck driving Pro at work!!

[@michaelrocker9000]

Live and learn. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Be safe in that snowy weather.

[@flyboy6876]

Never would have thought about that; thank you for the info guess you are always learning; too bad the kids out there who think they know everything can not see how we old-timers learn new things every day; been at his for 35 years

[@uhplumber5962]

It never fails to amaze me how much BS you guys go through sometimes. Good job staying cool.

I drove a truck for 41 years and learned something new every day, listen to a lot of older drivers, best teachers in the world !!

[@bengone3349]

Life is a bag of tricks, you just mastered one more.

[@toddblankenship8794]

Anchor shackles with the pin that you can unscrew then screw back in after you get it in place or having some shorter chains with slip hooks on one end saves a lot of time on those AC units.

[@davidschabel4664]

It's a sad day when you don't learn something, 36 and 1/2 years trucking and I learned a lot, pull toy here.

[@katiesmith4536]

i can hear the irritation in your voice and love that you point out your ac’s with a big red arrow 😂🤣🤣 so glad you didn’t end up leaving 💰💰💰

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Oh you know how irritated I was. lol

[@k.l.channel5953]

Just another day in truck driving. But after while you get used to it

[@tomgunning5643]

It takes a big man to admit he never stops learning. I tell my son that so much I'm sure he gets tired of hearing it. Another great informative video. Safe travels !

[@johnsadventures6783]

My rule was 3 strikes and I'm out. I'd leave in a heart beat in my younger days.

[@Freedomschild195]

For me it's always difficult to deal with the incompetence of others. You were amazingly patient

[@demerclopez2622]

Being patient helps a lot because when you press idiots it makes them into bigger idiots then you become an idiot talking to idiots 😂 in a whole new shit show.

[@PenelopePeppers]

You were dealing with Mass- Miscommunication !!!!!!

[@JMichldirtbag]

That is an old Indian trick Dan lol 😂

[@jimjamess8633]

If your doing a lot of A/C unit hauling, I use shackles. Put chain through shackle then attach the shackle to the unit. Then take the chain hook past the shackle and hook to pitch pocket. Other end to binder. Holds load from both front and back movement as well as side to side.

[@DAVIDCARDWELL1]

Tennessee steel haulers is in charge of the logistics there. No wonder it’s a mess. Every time I go there I have to go through the same thing that you just went through.

[@bigfred1696]

I worked at that Trane plant for 40 yrs

[@johnhamilton2680]

Good job and a big shout out to your friend.

[@DAVIDCARDWELL1]

That’s good information with the hooks right there. I will be doing it like that from now on. Thanks for sharing that little tidbit.

[@randalldavis5116]

I like your dog Bailey

[@chriskahlson]

Great video sorry to see you getting the run around somebody in charge at Trane obviously does not know what they are doing, no excuse for such nonsense IMO

[@psinclairjr]

Love seeing drive through my hometown of louisville

[@godsok1]

Love trucks to make the job easier!

[@alisonrogers3286]

Bailey needs a child booster seat to see out the front windscreen. Look after your supervisor please.

[@yvonnejames6265]

Dan...if you are ever in Dyersburg, TN there is a restaurant called "Grecians Steak House". They have the best fried chicken and a HUGE buffet. Try it some time if yiu are in Dyersburg.

[@stevepackard8542]

The higher fuel prices go- the more Dan we will see!

[@billchestnut6519]

i can remember when that trane factory wasnt that damn big..let alone Clarksville being that damn big

[@billyday6387]

I saw you going down the western Kentucky parkway in Elizabethtown Friday morning about 8am I was hauling rock in a dump truck but awesome video

[@dennismckown4951]

i learned early on not to get hyper over shipper and reciever stupidity. 1st it doesnt change anything, and 2nd the only thing you get out of being hyper/mad, is a headache. so was no point.

[@TheAyrCaveShop]

HVAC service Tech here, now I know why all those lifting pockets are always deformed LOL..

[@Allen7243]

I think I just passed you heading east on 40 eat of Amarillo. You looked like you had load of light sets.

[@darushcode9121]

I think I just saw you past my house on the Beltline Madison,Wi??? Small world..

[@bruceohagan2477]

Great video, highlighted the skills required to be a owner driver. Your easy going nature is one of the reasons I love watching your videos. The main reason is Bailey being very animated. Loved how he barked when you reentered the yard and got the visitors badge. I am sure he was saying "PEOPLE! get your act together. Cheers 😎🇦🇺

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Avery nice trick and a time saver too get those damn Air Conditioners off the trailer asap. They have a very stupid system there wow.

[@onetuliptree]

Good morning!

[@wendellhagg3511]

I learned “something” too…..started in 1974. Thank You. Be Safe God Bless !! H.

[@nancybert5149]

Reading my great great grandmother's diary of 1903, she mentioned that she watched a team of six horses pulling a huge generator going to the nearby Holt Wood Dam, a power plant in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. How times have changed. You could easily haul such a large piece of equipment.

[@rightsideupvt]

Always an enjoyable break watching your work, Dan.

[@wht4132]

Consider using a single chain on either side. Hook the A/C unit drop the chain down around the first pipe back up to the deck on either end. Put your single ratchet in the center and pull the ends. You get full WLL on the chain that way and only use two chains and binders per unit.

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@davidbreman2494]

Your never to old to learn a new trick, thanks to your friend the Mercer driver

[@offgridtruckerdude7133]

I love that shipper as much as you, and thanks for passing on things you have learned, as I have never thought of bending the slot either.

[@bnelson313braveheart8]

Neat little trick! Safe travels!

[@SierraOne]

Those little tricks are like GOLD!

[@wbball15]

Great stuff, Dan. That Dorsey trailer is looking good.

[@jamesterrill1938]

Really like your videos..

[@mongomay1]

Thanks again Dan Teresa and Bailey. Good to get some chores done before you are back on the road, nice to have a temporary home spot to recharge where folks know ya. It seems that manufacturers more of late treat the folks that help them get a job done are just asset numbers on a list and was this accomplished, etc. Then when they are with their peers the complaints about working, contractors, skilled labor is not like it used to be, but in reality management teams are not what they used to be in treating folks as people and not a walking tool. I still do not know what the answer is to this structure any more...

Love your videos Dan! Post some St. Louis footage.

Thanks for the video, I’ve hauled many of those loads out of OKLAHOMA and never new that.

[@kellykonoske91]

This kind of shit used to just make the steam come out my ears! Kudos for keeping it together Dan. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

We made up the chains for our trucks with a grab hook on one end and a slip hook on the other. A slip hook would hook into that hole. You can also put a slip hook on a short piece of chain to hook to your grab hook.

[@Sunchaser83]

I’ve loaded there a bunch of times. I’m surprised you had that trouble.

[@jamessimms415]

Love Bailey ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. She appears so loving. Need to come up w/a small-ish squeegee for the inside windshield & put some kind of RainEx or Fog-Ex on the inside windshield to keep the insides from fogging up

[@majorpayne4098]

Dan, You are correct, never too old to learn something. You are calm and patient and a consummate professional driver.

[@mikelee6936]

Major, I am 72 yrs old and since I was a teenager I have felt that if I missed a day learning something it was a wasted day.

[@lowboy1one1]

If you can spare some of your patience, please send a little my way!! I enjoy the vids, keep up the good work.

[@yvindHvaal]

That yard was a mess, Dan. Totally unorganized. I would have blown my fuses 'cause I've never been easy goin'. But I've tried to keep my tempor down most times, not always sucessfully. Pet Baylie for us, Dan. Stay safe and take care!

[@monteowens9459]

It seems like it would take a lot to get you mad Dan, so I know that had to have been a bad loading experience. You never know what’s gonna happen in trucking. Be safe and take care!

Hello Sir. Saw you messing with your windshield and I sent you a tip few weeks back or so about using a magic eraser…you ever try?? Bit of a process to do it right but it’s money

[@steve5975]

I drove on 65 and that parkway a few weeks ago, roads are horrible south of Louisville…imo And love or hate frustrating shippers and/or receivers, they do pay some of the bills.

[@dchawk81]

Nothing irritates me more than driving right past my load, seeing it, and not knowing it's mine.

[@Oheeeoh]

When you started backing up at that first power plant place, Bailey looked like she wanted to go out and help spot you. Thanks for the video, Dan and Bailey.

[@Thecowboy1950]

I bet a 1/3 of the loads I pickup or drop off always had a problem wrong address wrong pick up number wrong appointment time you name it very frustrating that is one big reason I left the industry early
