[@bigdog8891]

That was funny, Bailey wanted her armrest down for a chin rest🐶🐶

[@michaelford9089]

I whine like that myself when I don't have an armrest 🤣🤣🤣

[@RandyCRR]

One thing I learned after 40 years of trucking. The best made plans can turn into crap in a New York minute. Good way to be Dan, wipe the slate clean and go forward. Stress is a killer!

[@onetuliptree]

14:12 The full moon looks great through your camera.

[@SamuelManaole]

Bailey is smart to figure out the arm rest. CUTE !!!

[@jamessievers3899]

Been in your shoes before, I don't like to wait around!

No better sound than a Caterpillar engine .....

[@nickb2722]

I look for that rig every time I’m at Mercer Town

[@jimanderson8002]

It's always a waiting game and patience is the best remedy. Best of luck Dan!

[@alisonrogers3286]

Clever girl and so proud of herself for lowering the armrest.

[@hammers1518]

Nice CO Pete. Wish it had been seen in the day.

[@jamesterrill1938]

Always something, don't give up...

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks for the video Dan and Bailey hang in there. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed. Safe travels.

[@jasonfountain6107]

I live in Blytheville , a guy changing equipment tires passed away in an accident. That’s the reason the mill shut down.

[@johnberry1107]

Good MN accent there, fella. Stay safe.

[@thewatchmen4920]

Safe travels S Dan and little one 🚛💨💨💨💨

[@dhblan8591]

Truck sounded awesome when you started it up. Seems like life gave you lemons and you made the best lemonade you could. Always love seeing Bailey. Drive safe.

[@robertbradford7892]

That kitty be purring.

[@bradmonohon2752]

I googled that accident. A contractor from a tire company died that day in the plant. That's crazy

[@philipbartruff3361]

Love the videos brother. It's good to see a man with some manners and integrity on here. No cursing and rudeness it's awesome. And bailey is too cute.

[@wirnet2084]

I don't think you could find a better dog for the truck! That one is a character! I've got a lot of respect for you Dan. You're still out there doing it every day. Parked our truck a year ago. Sold the step deck the end of last year. Set our authority inactive as well. Waiting for a lease or drop and hook opportunity to get back in the truck someday but it isn't looking too great. Stay safe and keep on keeping on! Cheers!

[@frozenbits48]

In 1984 I bought a full length (45 ft back then) Dorsey flatbed trailer that was a special order, not received, trailer. Never had one problem with it in the 12 years that I had it. Rugged and durable and even had a five foot tall 'headboard' mounted at the front of the trailer. I found I could hang all my chain binders there.

[@kens.3729]

Hello Dan! NO Matter how Organized we are and how Hard we Work, there is Always someone that is Not paying Attention, Screws Up and causes Issues for Us. 👎

[@patrickvanmeter2922]

Your patience is amazing. You and your little buddy are the best. Been there done that. Good luck to both of you.

[@coreyrogers5118]

I met you on 65 tuesday evening, north of memphis Indiana. Hollered at you on the cb. Oneday i hope to run into you.

[@jamessimms415]

Safe Travels. You’re right, you could tell I-65 was rough on the video. Love ❤️ Miss Bailey. @ 2:35, she was looking to ask ‘Are you leaving me Dad?’ She seemed to try to comfort you around 7:30-ish. Give Miss Bailey a hug, smooches, & scratches behind both ears.

[@SamuelManaole]

Yes... We all love beautiful /patient Bailey.

[@janeweldon8874]

Bailey you are so funny with that arm rest!!

[@RaoulThomas007]

Bailey’s following Dan’s lead. She realized the passenger seat needed to be fixed and she fixed it!

[@andrewlowery1310]

Roanoke is bout 15 min from my house in woodland Alabama. Must go to steel fab

[@joanhenderson5114]

Bailey best Co pilot. Hard life. Long hours. Stay safe. Prayers for you both.

[@cindykelly7845]

Loved the look on Baileys face when she put the arm rest down like , see dad i can do this! She,s a trip! Safe travels.

[@bigpaddy8363]

Keep it working 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jeffreycraig3249]

PMA, positive mental attitude. Thank you for the video. Stay safe.

[@robertblake7145]

Wow…the day to day frustrations of your job! Thanks for sharing. By telling your viewers the good and bad makes your videos real! Stay safe Dan.

[@stevenb132tsb]

That's a nice haircut...

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Stay safe brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲

[@DirtbikeXpeditions]

I passed through Louisville today…always on the lookout for you and Bailey

[@krisbeedle2818]

Safe travels, Dan. Enjoying the videos

[@johncoaker4952]

The Cat sounds great. And we can tell that road is rough.

[@jerseycowboy1]

Gotta love truckin!

[@Ranaldo20]

I remember 65 being brutal in KY when I'd ride in my dad's truck way back in the 90s. I see not much has changed.

[@skeeterfan3626]

That looked like a Home Depot load.

[@dennismckown4951]

they say the concrete roads only last 10 yrs. have you notice on I-10 thru Louisiana, after a heavy rain fall, that the concrete slabs of the highway actually float? the land gets so water logged that the road actually floats in place.

[@geraldseely2203]

Clever Bailey. Thanks for the video. Jerry & Vicky

[@davidpotter7484]

I ran a bunch of different spread axle trailers in Michigan in the 90's. Mostly 3x9. Covered wagons, van, and walking floor. Loved pulling those, 100k max, with all 3 trailer axles down pulls really nice. Backing is a bit different than with tandems.

[@joeferreira7382]

looking good Dan 🕶 Bailey so damm funny , She listens to every word you say 😁 be safe take care yourselves DAN

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

Glad you were able to make it up to MN Dan!

[@Cowboy-Trucking61]

Sorry about stressing over the load, seems like that's the way it goes most of the time. No matter how bad it gets, just let it roll of your back. Happy, Happy Trucking, lol.

[@warrenmills5081]

Good morning dan hope you have a great day

[@randomsanwhich2]

No detention pay? I'd be asking that question.

[@albertmartin6298]

I hope everything goes well for you my friend and you and Bailey have a great weekend

[@alviney5138]

ran a dealerhip for 12 years /know what you mean // hard to get to that "control/alt/delete" mode and leave the problem in the rearview // that was yesterday // today is today / tomorrow is tomowwow // gotta get on with life

[@Sbowling1979]

65 is getting bad. But I40 east bound west of flagstaff Arizona is gotta be the worst in the country.

[@cjstrasser]

Thanks for taking us along Dan.

[@goteborg0916]

there are a lot of cab over trucks in Europe such as Scania and Volvo

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels

[@waynegarrison2481]

Don't know you guys do it...All that driving. I'm in Holland Michigan and drive back to Salisbury Maryland to see family. Once an a while. 800 miles... Couldn't do that every day... once every 6 months is enough.... HAVE a GREAT DAY

[@Buehr99]

Sorry that happened to you. Don't let it stress you out. I know you made the best of it. Safe travels. Always enjoy your videos.

[@Redsox247]

Stay safe have a good one

[@timaz1066]

Bailey just one of the armrest down. Cute.

[@DerrickMurphy089]

Safe travels Dan thanks for the video 👍

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@tommanion5504]

FINALLY!!!!!! Subscribed not that long ago, and I did what I normally do, went back to the beginning (episode #1) and watched each of them in sequence. And, I can now say that I've watched all of your episodes! Don't remember what caught my eye on your channel, but I love it! (Now, maybe, I can catch up on my orher channels that I've been neglecting!)

[@seanmcgee5211]

I 40 east bound in NEW MEXICO is one of the worst in the country.

[@seagullsbtn]

Bailey's a stand up comedian.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Thanks for the video, Dan. Safe travels!!!

[@sammoore3465]

Thanks for the ride !

[@johnvantromp7299]

Hope u had a safe drive to Minnesota. I recently drove from my home in WV to Bemidji, MN to visit family. Not used to how flat the land is up that way. Stay safe.

[@deanclarke3635]

You rock Dan

[@ilysftujs1839]

Wondering why you were down a gallon of coolant? Oil burn I understand. Coolant ?

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Once again the trucker gets screwed. I hope they came up with some kind of compensation for all of your wasted time and patience. It probably had to be something really serious to shut down a complete plant. I hope who ever got hurt is going to be ok. Truck and trailer looks great Dan, as usual. You must spend hours every week to keep it looking clean and presentable. Always leaving a good impression when you leave. Well it’s to bad ya had to dead head 350 miles to get out of the situation you were put in. Boy trucking is not fair when things run a muck. Last guy on the pole gets hooped. Liked the video Dan. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring…

[@robertristinge4385]

That fluffball co pilot :o)

[@michaelford9089]

I was at a brake reliner facility the Saturday after the Princess Diana tragedy and there was an issue after waiting we was told its not going to happen found out it was a fatality.

[@johngrabowski2957]

I remember yeeears ago 50 spreads were all the rage, then they just disappeared… i always thought they’d catch on since 53 vans don’t usually load past 50 anyways.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

If one off the main machines brakes down the whole place shuts down sometime, for a long time, just bad luck being there for a load.

[@JamesWest-iu4jx]

I know their working on some of it now, but there's some folks that should be in jail for letting that 65 through there to get that bad

[@mojo2131]

Yep fuel prices up and freight down . IT SUCKS.

[@johnmerlo5005]

When the equalizer value goes out you'll be mad at the scale house

[@pauldietrich9199]

Dan, did you say a gal. of coolant? That don't sound good. Little kitty is getting tired......

[@davidmcknlght2700]

👍

[@YoUnOkNoWoK]

Adding a gallon of coolant.. Lord that’s not good.. 🥲

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Old engines such as mine do not have a closed cooling system like newer trucks and cars. A loss of cooling over time is normal especially in the summer. Thanks for watching

[@ken7875]

Dan I would not stress over it, some one might have died in an accident or hurt, hopefully not, main thing your ok And you will have a load sooner or later. Let it go, your not in a concentration camp back in 1944. Think about the stress they had, that’s what I do when it goes wrong, then I ask. Myself is it really that bad compare too those people in 1944. Then I just relax.😊

[@markweiler8172]

Been to that big mine up there In Minnesota a couple of times Not lately tho

[@ed_halley]

Glad you got a new plan. When you said you committed to Alabama, but then the load before it failed, what's the consequences of that committed load? I guess it happens pretty often.

[@dennismckown4951]

i didnt like cab overs. when i drove for this veggie/fruit place delivering to various supermarkets i drove a cab over, pulling a 30 ft trailer, problem was the seat would only go back so far and if youre a tall person your knees are in the steering wheel and very uncomfartable

[@hammers1518]

Where in Virginia? You said Pittsburgh Va. Did you mean Petersburg Va?

[@PenelopePeppers]

My Brother lives in Paducah KY.

[@paulmicrons8416]

not a good way to coil your power cord doing it the way you did will twist the wires inside. but it belongs to you do what ever

[@brianbridle951]

Axle wieghts are not so dissimilar to UK?EU. We run traiaxle trailers at 8t each, along with the 3 axle unit. Because out max length is so short it almost impossible to over load and axle despite the 98560lbs gross.

[@turbo5488]

Hi Dan, Is there or that has got shot, or was there a bomb threat? I don't know why they would have the company shut down for, like you said, 4 hours or more who knows. Have a great day and a great weekend 👍👍

[@manvsroad7691]

thought that was you in minnesota, my neck of the woods. tried to get ya on the radio but ya didnt answer

[@johnnyfair]

You need to make a video and title it how to make an interesting flatbed trucker video. Because some of these other guys have no clue ha ha.

[@raylamz9868]

Can you add some dash cam time lapse sometime ? Thanks dan be safe

[@MichaelHuisinga]

That's like 70 out of indy into Ohio rougher then a cob

[@tima7763]

Do they give truck not used fee at least?

[@billupstateny9151]

Nice haircut🙈

[@dchawk81]

What was the name of the steel place? Ornell? Ormell?

[@longhorn6835]

Be interested to know what mine you went to I work at one of them be interesting if I could've seen you

[@starkcd]

Any chance you will get a TONU out of the deal?

[@jimgardner4226]

At first glance, I thought Bailey had the dip stick in her mouth. 😂

[@gordonmier4359]

Don’t you have a dispatcher anymore? Where is Katie?
