Hey Dan: Not sure what brand of filters you installed but you can buy a Baldwin filter that is a replacement for your stock one, use a punch or drill and put a 1/2 inch hole in the plate end, and save yourself about 50 bucks a side. My Peterbilt dealer sells me the cheaper ones so you should have no trouble getting the part number. Then again, maybe that's what you did already. Travel safely.

Was never gone more than two weeks at a time. Only gone no more than three days now. . I do have a shop. Do my own brakes wheel seals tires. Etc. good video Dan. Met you in Louisville at the truck show. Nice gentleman to talk to. Not a big wind bag like some truckers. Best of luck.

As I got older I changed trailers to make it a little easier. I had a steel Doonam 50.5 foot stepdeck lowdeck with full twistlocks. What a great trailer and so much easier to get on and off of while securing loads. I'm medically retired now but spent 30 years over the road mostly at Landstar. Be well, glad you're getting a new trailer.

Dan, You're the Pro, but I've always been taught that "one of three" means ONE. As a teacher, now retired, if I wanted my students to turn in a three page report I tried to make sure they understood I was expecting 3 pages. You are the Pro and I am guessing you have heard oral and written requests that "bounce" all over the expectation spectrum. Enjoying your Vlogs. P..S. Awhile back you mentioned that Sheila was not feeling well. Hope she is doing much better now.

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Some weeks it seems everything falls right in your lap. Other weeks it’s a struggle to get loaded or unloaded on time. It seems from week to week nothing goes the same. In my eyes you did not do over kill in securing that plate load. We have all seen the destruction of a plate load that has come loose. Kind of like steel beams. Steel on steel just loves to slide. 🛝 I like when you are videoing you doing maintenance on your tractor or trailer. Another fine video Dan, tractor and trailer looking mighty nice, thanks for posting. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D..

WHAS-AM has a wonderful four part YT series on the Outbreak. Better safe than sorry on the chains, better to start off with/more than needed to start than second guessing yourself & regrets for not having more in the event of an incident. Give Miss Bailey a hug, smooches, & scratches behind each ear; & do as she says😎.

I work shipping and teceiving at a large resort, and it is eaually frustraring to us as it is to the drivers that we dont have signs to direct trucks to our loading dock. Not a single one. We have had many trucks pull up to the front entrance of our main lodge, then they have to back out to the road about a quarter mile back because they cant turn around. We obviously do our best to guide them out and try to give good directions to shippers, but it doesn't always work out. We have asked for signs several times and unfortunately, upper management doesnt seem to think its necessary...

@@mikewieggers3139 If management deemed us worthy of having a forklift in the SHIPPING AND RECEIVING department, I'd have no problem doing that!
