Check your bulbs for corrosion. Moisture in the bulb housing will do that too

[@Jeremyfedor]

Times like these make hourly local job that much more appealing! Hang in there Dan!

Merry Christmas to you and your family from a retired flatbedder with 43 years of safe driving and a fellow arizonan up here in peoria. God bless

[@joanhenderson5114]

Sorry for bad trucking industry. Our world is in a mess. Prayers for you & Bailey as you go home. Tressa will be happy.

[@mitsnevets]

doughnut holes and motorcycle doors are about the extent of flatbed freight around Maine

[@dewaynem559]

Im a retired trucker of over 43 years,my son went to trucking school and been driving about 2 months he walked into a sweet deal hes making 1800 a week driving 41/2 days a week and home on weekends and holidays

[@NickManCuso59]

Hi Dan. If you're a blue collar working man thing's are tough all over. Hang in there you'll be alright !

[@johnsadventures6783]

Two and a half weeks before Christmas, and they let us know 3rd shift has been eliminated. Things have slowed down that much. We have bidding rights on the other two shifts. I'm not to proud to sweep floors for what I make. I've bounced from California to Iowa to get back to my good paying freight.

[@waynesworld2086]

Don't feel left out join the crowd lol, Dec 26th I'll be going back to work after Christmas break also when I'm use to taking Christmas new years break off and leaving on Jan 2nd lol

[@jerrycann6374]

All that work you did to get the wheels rolling straight is paying you back in fuel mileage ...👍

[@ThePhair]

Start at the tail lights of the tractor, wire might of started to rub somewhere. Could be water in the light too.

[@Jpaydirt]

Trucking is a lead indicator of where the economy is headed, and trucking isn't good right now for a lot of guys

[@tomwestbrook1266]

Merry Christmas, Dan….. from Ontario, Canada. I always enjoy your hard work both driving and putting out your videos

[@douglasbusse4102]

Sorry to hear the lack of loads. Unfortunately it does not look too good for 2024. Go home and enjoy your family for Christmas. Thanks for keeping on withe the videos.

[@devtrash]

How do you know what is in 2024? Are you a time traveler?

[@TruckinBiker74]

Sorry to see you waiting days for a load after you had one all set up I know how that feels . Good to see you picked up one heading home. Happy trails Dan .

[@scottycollins1829]

Happy holidays to you and your family

[@chuckyf-u2395]

Enjoy your time off with the family

[@richardroden6773]

The economy is actually doing quite well. Maybe there's a lag time before it hits the flatbed freight. I hope so. Take a pause while at home. Things will improve. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Give Bailey an extra pet too. I'm sure she could use the break as wll. Thanks for all you do.

[@Krieghandt]

Good news, fuel prices are expected to keep dropping into January. Have a great vacation.

[@smokingjoe9864]

You have to get out of the truck and walk around it backwards, when you get a no load!!!

[@DSjockey]

Have a safe trip home Dan and Merry Christmas to you and Teresa 🎁🎄🎀

[@drumsrlife71418]

As long as the APU works you are allowed the allowance. Just FYI.

[@dprrn]

Was right up there with ya, had one supposed to come out of sandusky going right back to the house here in Alabama but it cancelled. Ended up over in Kalamazoo

[@joebrings5817]

I had two loads cancel last week. Not good

[@dprrn]

@joebrings5817 seems like it's a common theme lately. Couple buddies have had a couple TONU recently. I hate those especially. They never seem to land me in a good spot, end up deadheading right back by where I was at.

You and Theresa should go to Vegas while you're home. I'm going the week before Christmas the rooms are CHEAP. Safe travels to Dan and Bailey.

[@jamieo8653]

Good Luck getting home. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you, Teresa and Bailey!!🇺🇸

[@13699111]

WOW !!! I live about 15 miles from Sandusky Michigan I would have enjoyed seeing your truck and trailer. A bonus would have been seeing you walking your great dog . I wouldn't have been intrusive i know how busy you both are working . Have a most wonderful day .

[@dennismckown4951]

i remember delivering, last stop of 4, red onions to a warehouse outside of Boston. actually it was a group of warehouses for receiving different products. the funny part was you had to pay a fee to get in. of course they had a lot of open space for overnight parking compared to outside the compound, but it was the only place id even been to that you had to pay to make a delivery

[@dennismckown4951]

thats a nice company driver run from Ind. to Az. better run is from Rochester, NY to Winslow, Co. loved that run, didnt like hauling hazmat though

[@johnnyfair]

No loads out of the stud(2x4) mills in maine? Maybe it’s all contracted now. Used to see lots of OTR up there when I hauled into those mills.

[@jamesburkham1359]

Lights could be fuse is getting weak. God bless and merry Christmas.

[@codytrimbach537]

Passed ya in Tipp City, Ohio I think it was Thursday!

[@maikelarbelo6800]

Hey dan big rigs like yours are amazing, but in this time freight brokers looking for hauling more freight less money, its a fact big trucking company wants less a less truck weight, manufacturing hear this company you sometimes struggle try to find the right load. Keep doing great hopefully 1 day we meet on the road thanks

[@rdyardie]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🌲

[@Shadeza1373]

Wow Trucker D. do you ever get pissed and react you always so calm❤🎉🎉

[@mitsnevets]

those breakers get weak over time id get a new one next time your at the pete dealer

[@scottycollins1829]

He can get them from O'Reilly, Autozone, etc lot cheaper than @ Peterbilt dealer.

[@garyforney9421]

Excellent music as always.

[@dennismckown4951]

i had a utility box i got at walmart, held all the fuses i needed in the fuse box plus the little LED lights in the panel. those led lights were tiny things i was surprised they lasted so long

i hauled a load of concrete vaults to a veterans cemetery in Madison In. this past summer , pretty rugged area for a semi lots of hills n hollers

[@charlesterviel5748]

Stay safe out there..Marry Christmas to you and your family🙏🙏.also enjoy your songs you listen to... 😊

[@dandreger5616]

This month is petering out

[@martinhiner2059]

There probably won't be mutch, unless your hauling snowmobiles.

[@Secretary-e4w]

Happy holidays and safe travels home.

[@DD-bn2mx]

they probably put a load up with a low price to haul. Enough truckers will offer at their lowest price to get it. Then the shipper starts only working up their pay, until someone grabs it for cheap.

[@markstegeman5986]

Have a safe trip home sorry Michigan wasn't a good trip love the videos good luck in the new year

[@rob3732]

Dan, in your experience, which states have the best roads.

[@brucefick9691]

Wish I had known you were so close. Imlay city is about 14 miles from me. I'd have offered to go across the road from where you were parked. Luckys steak house. You have a safe trip home and you and Teresa have a nice Xmas. U hang in there

[@Farmingnaturesway]

I feel your payne, the dry van is going to crap also, if it wasn't for food there would be no freight

[@thewatchmen4920]

Happy holidays to you and yours .🇺🇸 🚛💨💨💨

[@frankgyomoryjr6167]

You were in Imlay City, Michigan maybe you could have gotten a pickle load from Vlasic.

[@chrisstokes6624]

I noticed in the Video footage a lot of Trucks in the truck stops as you Drove buy. Maybe it’s time to go home for a rest

[@jeremyfogo6172]

[@martinhiner2059]

I noticed a low boy sit in denison, Tx. For a week. Before he got a load. Freight is slowing down.

Looking good Dan , I used to Pick up salt from the West side take it to Michigan to the salt plant right by the borderline , used to watch the French Canadians work on the other side 😂 Happy holidays Dan be safe take care yourselve Dan

[@Cognacvsop1873]

You can pick up another load going west ? going to Dallas or somewhere like that?

[@jonsolomon4814]

I am no truck driver but I watch other channels and I see other company’s drivers staying consistent! Like I said I don’t know the business but might look at other brokers? Have a safe one!

[@EstebonSosa]

Yeah and those other company drivers arent making shit. Dan is a seasoned veteran and an O/O. He does not deal with the bloodsucking brokers that you speak of. I myself ran my own trucking company for 23 years. Their was and always will be struggles! Its trucking. I have since settled down to local hauling only with my own authority and i make way more than i ever did OTR. Now, i just shuttle pallets locally for different logistics companies back and forth and i enjoy being home at night and off on weekends and holidays and i average $1000 to $1500 per day income. Its a great setup, but takes alot of hard work and dealing with alot of hard places to get in and out of with alot of traffic. But in the end, its the best decision ive ever made!

[@heaveymelt]

The money is always in local work for both employes and o/0

[@scottycollins1829]

​@@heaveymeltThere's $$$$$$ in BOTH!!!!!! Jst depends on a persons connections!!!!!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🇺🇸💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

[@Thievr]

so your still a o/o?@@EstebonSosa

[@heaveymelt]

Nope got out of trucking in 2016 but i could get a roll off job making 30 hour roughly plus over time at 44 no otr guy makes that per hr and o/o the farther you go the less they want to pay you and then you burn way more fuel but some guys love being gone this is on average iam sure some people have some out of normal pay but there few and far

[@18_wheeler97]

Hi Dan. I know the feeling of sitting for a few days. Frustrating! I'm on the dry van side. Lots of cheap freight.
