I work for TMC. We do put the L bracket for dunnage. It makes it easier to store.

Hey Dan, look up basil brush. He is bailey all over.

Hey, when you get time show the camper again, thank you

[@jimshives8557]

I sure enjoy the sound of that big Cat motor.

[@jamessimms415]

Safe Travels. Love ❤️ ❤❤❤ Miss Bailey. Give her a hug, smooches, & scratches behind each ear…oh, & don’t forget treats.

[@Iwanncamp]

The l-bracket that TMC uses must be new. I used to drive for them. 2010-2016.

[@robertduffin455]

Duluth Minnesota that’s a long way from Benson Arizona you take care on the highway Thank Dan 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

A bit of rain/drizzle is better than snow/ice in MN this time of the year. I am a bit surprised to see you this far north this time of the year also!

[@DDD-us6uu]

Poor Bailey, she would high center in deep snow, give her a good hug and scratch for me.

[@travisstoneking4049]

Dan you must be cool hauling all of those air conditioners. 😊

[@nowhereman7398]

I haven't been getting your videos on my feed for some reason. Not unsubscribed, I don't know.

[@kens.3729]

Air Conditioners are needed year round so I’m Glad to see you hauling them. 👍🙏 Hello 👋 Bailey! 🐶

[@mikelenahan9253]

I installed many of these air handlers/ ac units over the years. Many had heating coils as well. Retired now ......finally

[@wirnet2084]

Bailey jumping up on the seat at the end was like "Wait dad, it's time for my screen shot". 🤣Awesome pup! Glad you're still getting it done out there when so many of are parked for good now. I keep telling myself that I was tired of driving anyway but that's not really true. You two stay safe out there!!

[@woody6773]

Do you tie down those 4x4 pieces of wood that you store by the landing gear? I would assume they are, but they never look like they are on trucks I see. Love your videos and stay safe out there?

[@mongomay1]

Thanks Dan, Teresa, Bailey, Mercer, viewers, subscribers and logistics. Take care out there inflation is crazy do for yourself whenever you can, or learn something new that you would pay someone else to do for you. You may be surprised how much you can save. I get old cookbooks and give them as presents. Brown bag your work lunches. Thank you all, share tips how to save money on the road away from home.

[@Pilski]

Really enjoy your videos, Dan. Now, what I know about trucks and trucking can be put on the POINT of a pin...not the head...if you get my point...pun intended. Having traveled the entire country, driving in all states but Alaska (was on a cruise there) a bizillion trucks have been encountered and there's always some curiosity or other. You have surely satisfied many of these...thanks! It is difficult to imagine that somewhere, sometime, you have not had some kind of musical experience as your selection is really great! Even with a genre or two I don't care for, the quality is always very good. Keep it up...the music sound-tracks add so much to your videos. Best wishes for a very prosperous, and certainly safe times ahead.

[@dhblan8591]

Hi Dan and co-pilot Bailey. Although it was "nasty, rainy, misty" up near Duluth, it is far better than the alternative cold, snowy, icy, and windy that often happens up there in Duluth this time of year ;-) I mostly watch on my iPad, but today I had you on a bigger screen on my PC with headphones. And that truck sounds awesome with headphones! Stay safe and dry.

[@mitchwinder1204]

It’s spelled Faribault, and pronounced ‘Fairbo.’ 😉

[@Dannny_Mac]

Thanks for another great video we all appreciate you! Say hi to Bailey for us.

[@Neverdie242]

You should have good weather in Little Rock on Wed. It should be 60 and sunny. Be safe and God bless you both.

[@paulson6270]

Thank you for hauling for use. Have a great week. Keep him in line Bailey ❤❤

[@franciscosandiego3026]

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

[@mikerooney7928]

Have you put a mudflap behind those boomers/chains? Wish I had a set of 1/2 fenders for ya?? Stay Safe!

[@tima7763]

Thanks in joy all of them

[@johnchambers1380]

Howdy Dan, if you see this I thought I'd let you know I saw a DOT inspector in Washington state giving a driver a lesson on dunnage across the landing gear mounts. Gave him options to move them and put on trailer or headache rack and secure with straps.

[@onetuliptree]

Thanks for sharing, stay warm stay safe.

[@mervbenson3542]

Dan. Really enjoy your videos. Had to retire from trucking and really miss it. Probably should hide your spare key better.

[@Bill-n6k]

Nice load. Be safe👍

[@OperatorPuski]

Yeah, the TMC trailers bolt a few pieces to form a square cradle. 10 boards is perfect. Maybe 12 boards if you haul steel bars and still need a bulkhead

[@SylviaReynolds-i3z]

You and Bailey stay safe.

[@ahson2465]

Helllo I saw you yesterday on I35 south north of Des Moines. I went by the ac place in Faribault on my way to St. Cloud. I enjoy your videos.. You show us the roght way to do things. Be safe sir!

[@banjobenson9348]

I have been in -32 Deg in MN, my 69 mustang started.

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. You have been lucky some and not hitting to many snow storms. Plus dispatch seems to be keeping you fairly steady at hauling freight on your Dorsey. Trailer and tractor look great Dan. Nothing that a wash would help. During the winter it’s hard to keep a unit clean and not dripping in road salt. I much prefer they use sand. Even sand has its drawbacks. I hope the rates are still holding and not dropping. I see more trucking companies going out of business and large corporations are laying off people left and right. We are going through some tuff times Dan. I still would like to go back out with a Mack Superliner V-8 with a big shack on the back. Yup not the most fuel efficient but I would make it work. Hell I would even go with a 3406 B air to air. Think I would like a step deck with curtains on the side. That way no tarping and just pull the curtain close. Lazy flat deck hauling. Anywho Dan thanks for posting. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you.D.

Nice shot inside the dark cab. Sort of an errie look.

Axle weight gauges. Wasn't aware you had them !

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@robertenglaish4093]

It looks like you could almost store that dunnage on top of the tool boxes. If they are long enough to fit in between the ends look slotted. Just an idea. Keep up the videos they are great and I’ve learned a lot from you.

[@waynewalker8603]

good to see you and Bailey . (-:

[@ksfixitmangaming617]

Hey Dan. Well you got close to me or are going to when you come down 49 at Harrisonville. 2 highway heads off to the west into Kansas and I'm in Paola about 25 miles over here. I think you picked up Kubota's over this way somewhere on one of your runs. Anyway another great video. Safe travels buddy.

[@chriswarf5805]

Your dad head miles is unreal sometimes, I know what flatbed rates are right now got to be tough to make bread

Did you try take Highway 63 and then pick up I-380 to Hannibal, Missouri? You could have jumped in I-380. It goes thru my hometown of Waterloo, Iowa.8

[@leonardmsl68]

Love your videos, I have one question. Have you ever used the strobe lights on your trailer for any loads?

[@Mj-CWO4]

I like your commentary but let’s see more pickup delivery action

[@tommarshall333]

Trucker Dan, I'm curious..... On each front fender you have a rod of some kind. I've seen the same things on lots of trucks. Have always wondered exactly why they are there and how do truckers use them. I've been told they are there to visually assist the driver in making turns. Would appreciate your explanation. Thanks! And safe trucking to you and Bailey!

[@TheRGSfan]

The rods show the drivers where the end of their bumper is

[@davidham1687]

One name for those rods is "Beginner's Sticks". Of course that doesn't apply to our man Dan.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Dan I’m sure you’ve said before but I can’t remember. How long do you run between oil changes?

[@starkcd]

The water ‘spigots’ at every Love’s fuel island say the water is non-potable. How does that work for washing dishes and showering? Is there a separate tank for your drinking water supply?

[@patrickinottawa27]

Bailey and Dan consume bottled water. He uses it for showering, not sure about the dishes.

[@scottarmstrong1196]

I might be wrong but are you running rib tires on your drives? Braver than I am considering you are driving in snowy conditions

[@TylerThompson-z3w]

Did Dorsey Trailer renegotiate the contract? You mention Dorsey Trailer more than usual.

[@scottycollins1829]

Dorsey is a BIGG sponsor 4 Mr Dans videos

[@TylerThompson-z3w]

@@scottycollins1829 How much business could he possibly give them? Who's in the market for a Dorsey Trailer?

[@scottycollins1829]

@@TylerThompson-z3w Apparently he's contracted with Mercier Transportation which is an Large outfit. So, if sumone is Interested in an trailer that isn't EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE but decent then it a Gr8 marketing platform from All of them

[@xisotopex]

how are things post covid? hove you noticed that the world has changed much? things seem very different, to me, and not in a good way.

[@devtrash]

things are different?

[@BobsGT235]

Looks like rear drive temp is pegged over 300.

[@steveurbach3093]

Noticed that also. Could be a broken sensor or wire, IIRC many Temp gauges read pegged if no sensor (applies resistance to ground).

[@deansarow6259]

YES,grounds are very important. One of the first things to check

[@justintuttle137]

How are the rates going for you? After 18 years I think this is going to be my last year

[@followeroftheway7]

I try to think but nothing happens ??

[@docholiday1034]

[@deantait8326]

How are you doing? I trained with TMC 20 years ago and really appreciate your hard work in flatbed trucking. Is Mercer keeping you busy and are the rates still decent? Obviously general freight is down and rates…. Way Down !

[@polockdan1]

👍✌

[@johnnyfair]

I know you are not a complainer… But maybe you could give us a 10,000’ view of rates and volume.( i also know you dont want to discuss specifics). Seems a little slow out there.
