Hi Dan, I have been watching your videos for quite a while and never realized you had been stationed at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls. I was there briefly while in USAF, would have been long before you, would have been early 1971. Always enjoy your videos and seeing your travelling buddy Bailey. Safe travels!

Minnesota is expecting snow.

[@Logan7P88]

Cool stuff, we live in DeLeon it’s about 40 minutes north of brown wood. You’re running around my neck of the woods! Keep on keepin on!

[@randyhopkins9114]

I know this was posted a few months ago, but back in the 80's & 90's when I used to drive for Kroger out of Dallas when the warehouse was located there on Irving Blvd (183), there in Irving, just west of Loop 12, I used to deliver down at the Kroger store there in Brownwood! I would leave the warehouse, and go down through Ft. Worth, and then cut down Hwy. 377 to Brownwood! Well halfway down you go through a small town called Comanche, Tx. Well as you drove through Comanche, you passed underneath a railroad trestle, and as you came out on the other side, it widened out into a boulevard that went on down to Brownwood! Well one night, just as I went under that train trestle, and went out on the other side, just as it widened into the boulevard with it being right at the height of deer 🦌 season, a huge buck came running out of the woods, and I clipped him right on the right front corner of my truck! At the time, I was driving an old '82 GMC Cabover w/a sleeper, which at the time was the fastest truck 🚛 in the fleet, and the damn thing busted out my right headlight, and bent my steel bumper in where it was rubbing up against the front tire! Well I managed to straighten it back out with the aide of a piece of wood from a pallet, and since I had pulled over immediately after I hit the deer 🦌, I went back to check on it, and it was curled up there on the side of the highway, and you could tell he was dead! Well after straightening my bumper, I went on down to Brownwood, and to the Kroger store! I had a full load (24 pallets) of groceries that took me, and the night manager about an hour to unload, and do you know that by the time I drove back up to where I hit that deer, that that sucker was gone!...😳😲😅 Well there's nothing, but farmland all around there, so I figured some farmer must have found it, and scooped it up, because that deer had to have weighed at least 300 lbs., or more, because he was a big boy! Well exactly one week later, I went back down there, and do you know that as I went out from under that trestle, and it widened out, "BOOM!" Another dadgum deer went flying out, and just like the week before, I caught him right on the right side of my truck!..🚛 Well that time it knocked out my headlight again, and it bent my bumper in just a little, which I managed to straighten back out, but that time I had a buddy of mine that was following me down to the store, and he saw what happened, so he pulled over in front of me, and so when we went back to check on the deer 🦌, there he was, all curled up on the side of the highway! Well that time, since I only had half a load going down to the store, I opened the door on the trailer, and pulled out an extra pallet I had in the back of the trailer, and my buddy asked me what was I fixing to do, and I told him about the first time, and how that first deer came up missing after I got back up there, and I told him, that time, I was taking it home! Well we managed to roll him over onto that pallet, and the two of us lifted that big SOB up, and into the back of my trailer! Don't ask me how, but we did it! Anyway, after I got down to the store, and liked to have scared 😱 the crap out of the night manager when he opened up the back door, I took the electric palletjack, and I set the deer off to the side there in the back room while we unloaded the groceries, and then I put the deer back on the trailer, but I sat him back at the very back, and as I got back to the warehouse, before I went inside the main gate, I pulled over, and I walked over to my truck which was parked only about 20 ft. away, then I pulled it over, and backed it up to the trailer, got up in the back of the trailer, and I rolled the deer off into the back of my truck 🛻, and then I pulled my pickup back over where it was, and the I went back, and took my Kroger truck in, parked it, and since I was n done for the day, I left, and went home where I pulled my pickup around behind my house, where I had a huge cottonwood tree, and I threw a rope up over a good size limb, and I hoisted that thing up by his hind legs where I skinned it, and cut it up, and do you know my family ate off that deer for the next 6 months! I didn't have a scale, but back then I had been out hunting enough, I figured he must have weighed at least 300 to 350 lbs., and when I got to counting the tips of his horns (antlers), I was surprised that I counted 21 points, so I knew that he was a big 'un! So just in case you ever come up on a deer 🦌, and you clip his ass, if you have to flag somebody down to help you, take that thing, and throw him up into trailer, and take him home, and if you've never cut one up, I figure there's enough howto videos on KZbin, that'll show you, and depending on it's size, and weight, a good size buck will last you at least 6 months, or longer! Even if you share some meat with your neighbors!...😁😅👍🦌

[@donaldmcarthur8735]

I was an instructor at Sheppard AFB back in the late 60s. Enjoyed the chance from my native NY.

[@rodney3891]

What course did you teach at Sheppard. I went thru there on my way to ‘Nam in ‘69.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Dan, that must be one important pallet👍👍👍

[@jimmclendon5404]

Ah , Cisco ….the original fried pie shop on 20. I’m always afraid of losing weight so I always get a dozen 🙄when I’m headed up to Breckenridge. Y’all be safe in your travels.

[@13699111]

HA !!! I have the same worries about keeping up with my weight.

[@ThomasHans-b6o]

No kidding, I was a cable Spicer in the Air Force

[@ronnieterry4916]

Definitely an interesting load. Finding another partial load would be great about now?

[@shanedalziel7960]

Hey Dan. I'm a truck driver in New Zealand. Just wanted to say. Love you videos mate. Really enjoy watching how you operate. Especially Love those big bonnet Pete's. Keep up the great work mate and keep those videos coming 👍 👍👍

[@dosswatson7145]

Bailey giving someone hell 😂. She’s the best 😂

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting another great video on your KZbin channel. Just watching you explain management of your driving time is stressful. You are the best of the best at securing the different loads you haul. You two have a most wonderful day

[@Koda-k8v]

Hi Dan I always enjoy the ride along with you and Bailey. Drive safe.

[@rickardee8539]

[@mikebronkala9818]

I like the music

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Boy how lucky can a guy get, 600 lbs from Texas to Minnesota. Plus it’s low to the deck. Those freight Gods were looking after you Dan. Wow the fuel savings is going to be a big one. Put that one in the winner column. Another fine video Daniel. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D..

[@flyerbob124]

If I remember correctly some of those back woods 2 lane Texas roads had a speed limit of 60 or 70 mph. Driving at that speed on a 2 lane road was real work to keep from going in the ditch. The best part was there was a “picnic area” every so often which allowed this old guy to relieve himself.😎

[@jamessimms415]

Safe travels. Love ❤❤❤ Miss Bailey❤❤❤. Give her a hug, scratches behind each ear, & smooches. Getting my left knee replaced Wednesday, given restrictions on posting from public Wi-Fi systems; this may be the last for a while.

[@marshallfrazier915]

Hey Dan, that Sonoco at Cisco is a good place to stop, I spent many nights there.I hope you went inside and got yourself a couple those breakfast burritos in the morning.

[@thewatchmen4920]

That was some real good old country music singing. B SAFE Dan. 🇺🇲 🚛💨💨💨💨💨

[@seagullsbtn]

So much room for additional load $$$$

[@kens.3729]

Definitely take Care of Bailey and the rest will be a Bonus. 😬👍🙏

[@Mark-zi2og]

Thank you for your service Dan! 🇺🇸

[@JeremiahHartmanPhotography]

You were near my shooting range! Be safe, waiving a late hello👋

[@whitegrandsport]

Hey Dan, wondering if your new step deck is scheduled to be manufactured. Looking forward to checking out your new trailer. Safe travels.

[@russellwhite8890]

Brownwood is about an hour south of where I live in Stephenville!

[@happy2win]

Dan, I too went to school at Wichita Falls Shepherd Air Force base in 1956. I went to Computer School. Delivered a school bus to the county school system. The bus was made in High Point NC. Keep up the great video.

[@jlfcopter]

Thanks for the ride Dan! Great content as always.

[@rogerlarsen4539]

Hope you are doing well Dan, as well as Bailey. How's the 'home cooking' going? How is the truck keeping up? Drive safe out there!

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good one Dan Thanks for the video's 🚛🇺🇸👏

[@roosterblassingame7100]

I know you've been driving trucks for a long time Dan , do you recall that the Sunoco you stopped at used to be the old White elephant truck stop from back in the Day

[@buddywicket5544]

Thanks for the video. I was at Sheppard for training in pavements. Actually enjoyed it there after Lackland. Be safe out there

[@bigunone]

W. T. Oilfield towns all have the same look

[@albertmartin6298]

[@wildbill109]

Thanks Dan safe travels!

[@scottycollins1829]

Safe Travels out there Mr Dan

[@DonKin-om7yr]

Would have been nice to have had 30ft of something to put on with that going north to empty off before the 600 lbs of pipe. I hope this paid exclusive use. Hi to you and Bailey

[@geraldlessard7446]

Thanks for the video, Dan. Have a safe trip!!!

[@ianrobinson254]

Love watching your videos but how often do you get home keep up the good work Ian uk

[@michaeldavenport5034]

Another nice one, Dan.

[@warrenmills5081]

Good morning dan be safe God bless you and your family 😊

[@jameskirchner7301]

Great video Mr. Dan...been to Sheppard AFB for training several times....question: what was that song in this video and who sings it?

[@UDX4570PalmSprings-yh1mv]

BNSF railway, an acronym for "Better Not Start a Family" just kidding. I worked for Sante Fe for 25 years.

[@janeweldon8874]

Thank you Dan for the video. Safe travels.

[@dennismckown4951]

dont know if they fixed it, but talk about incline parking, the TA in Atlanta had extreme incline parking in some spaces. if you didnt get there early enough to find a good spot, you ended up in one of those spaces. i did that once till i found the Petro. might of fueled at the TA but parked at the Petro.

[@scottycollins1829]

Gr8 FOOTAGE Mr Dan

[@williamsenter4513]

What year was you at Shepherd AFB? I took the same cable splicing class in the spring of 1985. I was USMC but also never used the knowledge I gained from that school.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

I was at Shepherd in 88 Thanks for watching

[@acidheadzzz]

That pipe must be very dear to be hauling just one skid, only 600 lbs of it from Texas to Minnesota. I know I had heard Dan mention a couple of times that he was in the Army but I don’t recall how long he was in for, does anyone know?

[@tima7763]

Thank you for video

[@Cognacvsop1873]

Good song 😅

[@timwyman1421]

When are you getting your drop deck trailer?

[@hdrider2319]

I thought you were getting a step deck? Is that still the plan?

[@travisvolf1804]

Too bad you didn't stop at underwoods for dinner in brownwood

[@davidwall3180]

love your videos. Just curious, what is the switch you hit when making turns? Sorry if its a dumb question but I'm not a driver so...

[@jvjoe4376]

Dan, Good stuff...!!

[@johnberry1107]

Looking good to go! Stay safe. Thank you.

SKATEBOARD EXPRESS HAULIN LARGECAR

[@grahamshereston2550]

I notice you never go to California or anywhere on the west coast, is that deliberate?

[@sssouth3889]

Another enjoyable watch Dan. When you tell us your route from and to, would it be possible to show on a map the intended route or is that too much trouble for you. Love to Bailey

[@sssouth3889]

Only able to reply on this channel,not up to speed on anything else,would just like to get into perspective the scale of the distances that you and Bailey travel…a uk fan

[@nickpanda9322]

Did you try and get another load to go with at one pallet of pipe

[@jimjones5883]

Dan, did you go eat some BBQ at Underwoods there in Brownwood? It is pretty darn good.

[@aaronmaupin8727]

Just curious, you said you had 240 miles to go pick up the pipe. Do you eat that cost of travel time or do you get paid at all for the empty travel time?

[@janetgalyean5420]

I thought you was army brother. You're supposed to be able to sleep anywhere 😅. I know I can. And I'm navy retired

[@ericsanford5639]

all that empty deck, it seems you would build an ltl load to maximize profit.

[@davidczarnecki581]

Sometimes the customer pays for the whole truck

[@dennismckown4951]

must be expensive pipe

[@davidmcknlght2700]

👍

[@PenelopePeppers]

That's pronounced "Sa-No-Co" 🤗

[@billupstateny9151]

Looks as if a 4 x4 could fit on top of tool box & strapped to box mounting brackets, & the extra weight is negligible.💡

[@randyhopkins9114]

Dan, the last time I went down to Brownwood (to the Kroger store), was back in the late 80's, and David Duke, and his hooded ghost riders (KKK), went marching up through town from San Angelo carrying crosses, and banners (because there are a "few" black residents down in Brownwood, and a s*** load of white supremacists down there, so needless to say, I didn't stay down there very long! I think it took about 20 minutes to unload 24 pallets of groceries, and it was all out on the back dock, and the daytime asst. manager is the one who unloaded me! I made a comment, asking him if he was in a hurry, and he told me why, and said that as soon as he got me unloaded, that they were closing up the store, because half of their employees were black, and they didn't want to be there when the KKK went marching up through there, and I really didn't blame them none! As it turned out, as I was leaving, I found Brownwood to be like a ghost town, with the majority of the businesses already closed, so just a word of warning next time you're down there, keep an eye out for those white hooded ghost!.. 👻

[@CowboyTrucking61]

Why can't they find you something to go with that one pallet, so you can make more money going up there.

[@BIGBilly]

👍😎👍

[@northerncatom7732]

Hi Dan, whatever happened to pulling a step deck for while?

[@ronthompson3525]

Could you have found another parcel load?

[@northerncatom7732]

For some reason replies are not opening, is it just me?

[@ericlindhorst1320]

Noticed that also. It's probably a scammer telling them they've won something!

[@cashdog9999]

find something to fill up the deck space

[@kenrosser8160]

You could of just put all four up on your trailer an stapes it down

[@waltgranger7951]

What's it like to have your life consumed by work. You spend no time with your family your loved ones. Nothing just drive around life making videos what a shame. You're missing something in life and you need to figure out what it is

[@Adam-x4b]

Look around you everything you see was hauled by guys like him Just because you’re useless doesn’t mean everyone else has to be

[@patridenour-nn8qs]

It's not work if you enjoy doing it. I been hauling steel in the midwest for 48 years, Aug 10 I'll be starting my 49. Love it to death.
