[@lifestream4191]

I'm 61 and was 312 pounds at 6'2" tall in 2019. In 2020 I was laying flat on a table with a cath ran up my arm and into the arteries around my heart. I did have arterial blockage but not enough to need a stent, no heart attack, yet. I got on a ketogenic diet and walked every day. I weigh between 220 and 235 these days and I walk at least 2 miles/day and mostly 4-5 miles/day. Start slow, make a game out of it, get healthy, live long and love long.

[@Oheeeoh]

Good for you! I'm a big guy (6' 4") and struggle with my weight (280ish), but I keep plugging away at it. Never give up!

[@Mk-oy9ns]

Ooh didums,must be your Genes.... Nowt to do with over eating and a sedentary life style.....😂

[@tekman196]

As I always say Dan ! You are the hardest working driver on KZbin. Always on the move making money. Be safe and thanks for always showing the positive side of the trucking industry. Your professionalism is second to none.

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool video Dan 👍

[@seagullsbtn]

Something about a single injury like that triggers a cascade of unhappiness.

[@waymonhutto2274]

Sounds like you are suffering from east coast allergies. Pine tree pollen turns everything yellow in the spring time all over Georgia and the Carolinas.. When I traveled outside of the southeast I had very little problem, but let me come home for a few days and I was sneezing, suffering from a runny nose, and had itchy eyes. Head west Supertrucker Dan. You will be fine.

[@Chuck59ish]

Your Army knees are catching up with, it happens to all Veterans eventually. Too bad you didn't run into Kurt Schmit while you were in Kansas.

[@wendellhagg3511]

I once hauled a load of Feeder Calves to a Feed Lot just outside of Dodge City. While there learned that there are about 7,500 head per Day Processed there at the Packing Plants that You passed by. Thanks again for Sharing !! H.

[@miltonmoore1690]

No one said anything about the smell of Dodge City , or the big flies around there . I will always remember.🤣🤣🤣

[@randyhome1544]

Dodge City process cattle all the way from Canada and Mexico. They do Buffalo also. It’s still a cowboy town.

[@lyfordmerrow6332]

Sorry about your knee Dan....glad you have Bailey for company!

[@michaelolenick4078]

I love the sound of your truck taking off.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Hope you get to feeling better, Dan. Safe travels!!!

[@herbertwhitson7229]

Those roads suck,hope your knees feel better soon buddy

[@scottycollins1829]

[@southernstyle067]

Hope your knee starts feeling better. Stay safe out there.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Always good to see your videos. Sorry about your knee. Hope it heals soon. Blessings

[@sjgoode6590]

Thanks for another great video Dan!

[@bigdog9157]

I really like that Mercer golf shirt ya got on. Like to get one if they’re available

[@checker3694]

Be careful Dan as you get older, it very easy to forget what you can get away with, once you get into your 50s knees are a weak point as I have discovered when lifting.

[@tedstephenson7116]

Gr8 video , like the way you showed us setting up the unloading in such a small an tight spot .

[@verioffkin]

Sorry about your knee sir. Stay safe. Hoah!

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Video was short but a good one. Having allergies must be a pain in the butt. I have been very fortunate not to have had any problems like than. Blew my knee out a few years ago and still have to deal with the problems from it still today. No you do not complain very much Dan. Would not do you any good anyway. Even though your tractor is now much longer than before you get around in tight places with ease. Anywho Dan loved the video. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

[@reggiehowze1891]

Hope you start to feeling better. I use to pickup at National Beef Products. They have cheap steak dinners there. Especially at the cattle auction barn.

[@gslenaway]

I feel your knee pain Dan, I somehow tweaked my knee a couple of weeks ago and it still hurts. At 70 it takes a while to get past it. Still follow your videos after all these years

[@thewatchmen4920]

Mr D. In time our body control our mind and our mind control our body. With age. We're just along for the ride. Drs knows medical very well but we knows our bodies better than the Dr. Been there done that. Great riding music. Please B SAFE and B careful. Safe travels 🚛💨💨💨💨

[@13699111]

At my age I fully agree with your comment

[@rollawy]

lotta beef in dodge city and factory dairy farms...

[@kevinaltizer]

Regular unleaded is $3.29 at the Love's you passed. It's currently around $3.05 here in the SC upstate area.

[@jamessimms415]

My late Mother said the Family had Allergies 24/7/365, perpetual sniffles & runny noses. Spent 23 years in the Army running, working out, etc.. Started early enough was doing PT in combat boots. Then add another 13 in a job on my feet all day long. Result is a replaced hip 10 years ago & no cartilage in either knee, I can feel bones rubbing on each other. Gotta lose 100 pounds before I can get knee replacements. Safe Travels, take care of yourself & Miss Bailey. Give Miss Bailey a hug, smooches, & scratches behind both ears. She who must be obeyed.

[@psg6314]

Have a safe trip and hope you get better soon and great video keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe

[@theallaroundguy2399]

[@Cognacvsop1873]

How about an automatic Peterbilt?

[@treeman3663]

Good one Dan. Hey I like your new hair cut looks good. Your mercer polo looks nice.

[@bigunone]

As someone who is somewhat older and has suffered from bad knees and hips I feel for you

[@thomasmiller2284]

I noticed in your last video when you talked about the AC units walking around that it didn't look like there was a lot of downward pull on the strap chains. Is it possible that reconfiguring the chain is getting more downward force?

[@timaz1066]

You can sure tell they did a great job patching the road there in Dodge city. L O L.

[@jbbatulisjr291]

Great video Dodge City the town for Gunsmoke western TV show…. Stay safe out there Dan maybe you will be in Southern Colorado on way to New Mexico? Or Oklahoma ? Cheaper fuel in Oklahoma I bet….Maybe ya was on Hwy 50 too?

[@larrycarpenter-yt4ot]

For whatever reason chain straps on one side and solid chains on the other, always walk around...

[@franciscosandiego3026]

What is up brother and bayle from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲

[@cindykelly7845]

Dan i hope your knee feels better. This getting older isn,t fun. But at 70 i wish i was 50. Safe travels for you and Bailey.

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good video Dan be careful And KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛 🇺🇲 👍 🐘 👏

[@MrBarbuster]

great plains implements at ellsworth ks

[@angeleyes6861]

I hope your knee gets better Dan I've had trouble with my knees seems like when ya get old that's one of the first things to start going on ya is ya knees I went to the orthopedic doctor and they gave a cortisone shot in each knee haven't had any problems since my husband is having trouble with his knees now I'm going to take him to the orthopedic doctor and get them to give him a cortisone shot in each knee you and cute bailey stay safe out there on that road

[@jda72]

Sorry to hear about the knee injury I'm 69 and both of mine hurt the allergies have been horrible this year, I live in Indiana and started having problems in February the doctor said allergies just now starting to get better. Hope you heal up fast.

[@OperatorPuski]

it's the worst year for us that suffer from allergies this year. Mostly as a result of a mild winter but the Zyrtec brand of allergy pills works the best for me to not make me drowsy.

[@davidathey7903]

Too bad experience comes at the cost of youth, huh?

[@itsyo_boyzed9445]

Could you get chrome led headlights

[@Oheeeoh]

I hope you said Hi to Marshall Dillion and Festus while you were there. Safe travels, Dan and Bailey.

[@ronjessie8194]

When I get on You Tube and looking for A video to watch, I'll see you have poste A new on , I'll so Oh! there's Dan. 🙂Hope your knee doesn't give you any trouble.

[@davejones6476]

Hey Dan wouldn't they ride better with rubber mats between them and the floor next time

[@clfhnt]

thanks for another good one Dan. Pretty country in Kansas. Take care and stay safe.

[@andrewmellon5072]

Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video. To save your knees you should never habitually jump off farm tractors when getting down, trucks are probably the same. Very tempting though.

[@chriskahlson]

I’m thinking it’s walking because metal on metal and dunnage would allow a compression layer and it wouldn’t walk, sorry about your knees, massage might help 😮

[@michaeldavenport5034]

At 8:21 Sargento Cheese truck the opposite way. Our favorite cheese. Allergies have been horrible this year. Yesterday coming home from Chambersburg, Pa my allergies flared up as I neared the Norristown/476 exit/merge area. Must have been a nice smell with those bull haulers. 😂 Your video always has the correct amount of road footage, cat sound, music, loading and unloading aspects and then the information you provide for safety, maintenance and trucking issues. Oh yeah, plus Bailey.

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

Bless You Dan

[@joanhenderson5114]

Prayers for your knees. I'm now in a wheelchair cause of my knees. Stay safe you 2. Love Bailey.

[@petersmith2325]

I'm 63 dude, just had a rotary cuff operation, 75% tear. The crazy thing is hardly any pain other than sleeping. 4 months out of action as i am a painter decorator, also waiting on operation on disc. Don't jump of your trailer dude really bad idea even if you are young and fit. Stay safe, take it easy all the joys of getting old.😢👍

[@tomgriffith1952]

Dan, as always great videos!

[@chrispollard4331]

I like Scooters coffee (black). I’ve not tried anything else there.

[@mikerooney7928]

I take zertec, only half a tablet, at night. Took one years back in the morning, was tired all day. Now only at night and a half pill.

[@michaelholden5131]

Dan use that daug gone ladder to get up and down and move around on those loads! You know, take the time and be safe! They make knee and hip replacements but the rehab is a beast! The back injuries can end a career and make for a miserable retirement! Stay safe! Enjoy your content and work ethic.

[@jayt6524]

Hi Dan. Try Biofreeze professional gel and rub it on your knee. It seriously takes the edge off the pain. It comes in small tubes or how I like to buy it in the 32 oz bottle. For me it’s great to knock the pain down so I can get through the day. Hopefully this helps. Let me know.

[@ourbusyboys]

What a pro you are . Great content I wonder how much backing with the spread axle can be with heavy and high loads

[@robertduffin455]

Thanks Dan another great video just shows what you have to do to get the job done You look after yourself and stay safe out there 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@billtodd6509]

Did you go to the long branch to see Miss Kitty and Marshall Dillon while you were there?

[@johnmclean1482]

Hey Dan, I lost 25 pounds and never felt better Age catches up with us.

[@jerseycowboy1]

Flonase spray one shot per nostril and 1 Claritin or Allegra nice to take later in the evening if you want to sleep good. or just take it in the morning.

[@jeffward7502]

Flatbed Truckers work their ass compared to others

[@donniehauge9288]

Why would you not run the chains all the way across then have them pulling against each other,

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

I have followed you for a long time and you keep getting closer and closer to me. I'm in Paola KS off of 169 south which is just south and east a bit from Edgerton . Safe travels buddy.

[@mt79er]

Hey Dan, you said that your are fat and old and that your knees couldnt handle that. Tell you what, a youngster may have hurt his knees too. You jumped from your trailer totally unprepared. Means you jump in an emergency to avoid falling down. This instant jump hurts everyone, no matter if you are 30 or 40 or 50 or what. Its not about beeing fat and old... and btw, you arent fat. I worked for UPS for over 15 years and i remember my training time. They teach you to watch anything, to be prepared and it works most time. But most people dont get a training like this and so shit happens. Cool down your knee, maybe go for a doctor and have a check on it.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

I hope your knee feels better soon Dan.

[@charlesandsandrafox2655]

Had a cousin of mine use to drive for Mercer. Went buy Buckeye.

[@kevinaltizer]

They just built/opened a Scooter's Coffee in front of my local Walmart. Most people love it from the comments I see on local media. I'm not a big fan of a $7 coffee. I drink my cheap Great Value Kcups haha.

[@MarkAllen-r5f]

I developed knee problems because of some WM steel towed shoes (which I quit using). I started using a HEATING PAD and it would give relief. Try it and see if it helps the knees.

[@brianschneir2158]

If half the o/o's worked as Smart as you,there wouldn't be as many complaints from them. Sorry about the knee, I'm 59 and run a walking floor trailer climbing ladders all day. Don't really feel any pain yet. But, I'm also 155 lbs. Please take care of yourself mentally and physically for Bailey and Teresa.

[@gord2358]

Nice load of A/C Units. You're becoming a real expert at hauling them and keeping them from walking around.

[@mongomay1]

Thanks Dan, Teresa, Bailey and coordinator. Try rubbing Vick's ointment on your sore knee a couple of times a day Dan. The menthol is a decent topical pain reliever. Ice it when you can for 20 minutes at a time. It will take a few weeks to get better.

[@danimojoe8563]

Mercer only hires loud obnoxious peterbuilts?

[@MrBarbuster]

get salt aat lyons ks and bricks at hoisinton ks

[@charlesterviel5748]

🙏🙏🙏prayers for your knee 😊🙏stay safe out there..I really understand 😊🙏

[@chrisfekete1789]

Is there somewhere to but that Mercer shirt you had on in the video I like it

[@brianwempa5285]

Hope you didn’t mess anything up on your knee

[@waynesworld2086]

Copper tone knee brace is what ya need, Walmart pharmacy or any pharmacy store, I wear copper tone compression socks and it works wonders for my feet

[@dennismckown4951]

i use to pick up a lot of frozen meat in Dodge City. it was a drop and hook and you had to make sure the trailer was washed out before entering the plant, cause they didn't do it on site, or didn't use to, don't know bout now.

[@juliusfoster3443]

Where is your sign saying hello Teresa

[@billupstateny9151]

Does clutching bother your knee ❓🤔

[@tj1468]

Dodge City smells awesome 😂

[@dennismckown4951]

[@jimsloan8549]

Get some Bio Freeze for your knees. Excellent topical

[@woodworking5979]
