Sir, be encouraged, yes your are a great trucker, but you also are a gifted teacher, teaching us about family, budgeting, planning, life, taking care of our pets, taking care of customers, oh, and trucking.

That was a hot weekend! Talking about tires, nephew was passing a set of doubles on his way from Tx to Oklahoma he was about an hour from where he had to drop as he was passing he smelled bad tire, he thought it was the doubles, but he backed off and pulled off the off ramp to check his tires they all looked and sounded good, so he went on in, after he had dropped his trailer and was getting ready to hook up he saw that the driver's side steer was looking low. He opened up the hood and looked down and there was a flap of rubber hanging off the side. Of course they were worn enough that he had to buy two!

Yes, salad does work. Just depends on what you expect it to do. That's my idea of a good meal. This old man got minor-sick and started a streak of losing 56#. Found 15# of it and stay right around there for a few years now. These old bones and joints appreciate the effort. Stretchy-stretchy-stretchy first thing out of bed. Stay safe! Thank you for these stories. This time of year, I put as much watermelon, honey dew and 'lopes in my diet as my system will stand. Extra sweet and easy to substitute for greens. Looking forward to eating too many apples soon. I've worked warehouses and pity most drivers.

Safe Travels. Love ❤❤❤ Miss Bailey❤❤❤. Give her a hug, smooches, & scratches behind each ear. I eat protein 3-4x a week & w/a big salad. I usually go through 5-6 tomatoes a week. Likely won’t be able to comment for three weeks after next Wednesday. Having my left knee replaced (after my right one this past April ‘24). Hospital & rehab facility wi-fi won’t allow comments over their system, so it’ll be mid August before being able to comment again.

Dan, I've been watching your videos for several years, great job! Does Mercer forbid you to haul partial loads? With trucking revenue down, the most important aspect in profitability is revenue per mile. Utilizing every foot of deck space is crucial. If Mercer won't help you, can you use brokers for partials? Good way to pay for new tires. Keep filming, stay safe!

Dan Dan the professional flat deck. Over a life time of eating the wrong things and at the wrong time I started a few years ago to change things. Boy what a difference it made. A lot of stuff I don’t eat anymore. Plus certain things I only eat at certain times. My body has different requirements at different times of the day and I eat accordingly. So eating a huge meal at super time is not the way to go. Hope your getting a good rate on the ltl. I like how you crossed chained those big I beams in the front. Do it right and it won’t come back and haunt you. Another fine video Dan. Have a great and a safe day, happy trails to you,D…

Hey Dan, when's your new trailer gonna be ready or did you decide not to get a step deck trailer? I was thinking at the truck show you said it would take a month or so to have it built to your specs.
