A Few Packing Tips Before You Hit The Road | Trucking Industry Secrets

I HAVE TO LEAVE | 6 Days Left | Filming everyday until 2023!
I have to leave. I don't know how this will affect my ability to post, but I will not stop vlogging. I will continue to create these videos, and get them out to you guys! May need a little bit of slack on timing, but we are going to keep pushing into the new year!

Amazing those views with the mountains!

[@brycejeannotte7699]

Shelby, I did miss you when you were too busy to post. It sounds like you are getting things sorted out and will have a little more time for yourself in the New Year. I always enjoy your content, your spirit and your kindness to people. You are very sweet. Wishing you all the best in 2023!

[@davidkelly7314]

Those box’s are so practical and the best way to store you things, I would get some more smaller ones to finish your storage cupboard. It’s so good to have a well organised truck special in winter time as if you need something in a hurry, you don’t want to have to go looking and digging. It hard to keep trucks clean in winter time.

[@javierleonwebtruck_es9749]

Hello, I am a road driver from Europe and I really enjoy watching your channel with American trucks, American roads and service areas.

[@DaisyPurpleFlower]

I totally agree with you, Utah is so beautiful and peaceful! I love the variety of landscapes there is in Utah. Last year I spent the New Year in Salt Lake City for my day off. I miss these magnificent snowy mountains that you showed us. I'm from Quebec, Canada so to me, it's just amazing! Thank you for all your videos! And that's right, everything works better with good organization.

[@ovidiumoraru1828]

Nice preparation bravo

[@keithphillips6111]

Oh yeah!!!! Time to hit the road Dakota!!!! Heckin home times over!!!! Time to go bark at some people and keep your mom safe!!!! Happy Heckin New Year!!!!

[@danielyelle1070]

Nice to see how prepared you are to be out on the road . I always say plan for the worst and hope for the best . It's like an island being on the road , if you didn't bring it you don't have it . Stay safe and give Dakota a pet from me and my shepherd Oakley. He runs with me .

[@dangerhellbender3245]

So good. Boxes look OK. Thanks.

[@car4sell243]

Happy Christmas day and new year. I spent my Christmas in Portland Oregon. Jennifer st is where truckers are.

[@riker1701D]

These boxes are very practical! I have some in the boot of my car when I go hiking. One box for rainwear, one box for winter clothes, one box for a change of clothes and one box for dirty hiking boots. It's a perfect way to organise and keep things tidy in the car.

[@timothygeiger8271]

Boot of your car?🤣🤣 you must be from the UK🤣🤣🤣

[@riker1701D]

@@timothygeiger8271 In Germany, British English is taught at school. I see nothing wrong with that.

[@timothygeiger8271]

@@riker1701D i didn't say there was anything wrong with it, & there is nothing wrong with it. I think it's great you are learning English. The point i was making is many people in the US wouldn't know what you're talking about when you say the "boot" of a car. Here in the US we call it trunk.

[@riker1701D]

@@timothygeiger8271 Ah, now I understand! Sorry, my mistake! I learned my English 40 years ago, but in real life and in my job as a structural engineer, you need it very little (to write) in Germany. So I have to rely on my memory.

Reno! My town 😊 I used the 3 shelf hanging closet organizer for my truck then used a drawer organizer for the smaller things! The idea for the food is great. I’m stealing that idea. The more organized and prepared I am the less anxiety I have. I’m probably an over packer though 😂

[@kentr2424]

Love your videos Shelby. I'm not on the social media platforms like Tim Tok, IG, etc etc, so this is the only way I get to watch your journeys. I run the I-15 corridor a lot through Utah, with any luck I'll get to meet you and Dakota on the road someday. Keep up the great videos.

[@dougmitchell5435]

I might use hangers for at least some stuff, but bins look functional for most clothing. Suggestion from an old guy - stay on main roads even if longer and less scenic. That’s a lot safer this time of year due to plowing and availability of services. That was one of the reasons I preferred to run NE in the winter.

[@Inferlogist]

This new Cascadia sleeper is nice appeared but not enough space in the drawers cabinet in this high drawer where you put your clothes , you just need to make out - of - date shelves , as well as a backlight , I independently made an automatic backlight on a magnetic sensor in my Cascadia 126 . those boxes that are above the head of the driver and passenger are simply dangerous to use , not good ergonomics , but beautiful from the point of view of design , and there is also no backlight. ✋⚠❗ Dear Freightliner designers, I am sure that you are also watching Shelby's channel , it is simply impossible not to look at her 😍 , sometimes, only after watching it again, I am able to notice what the plot of the video is about, it's just very difficult to focus attention on something other than Shelby herself , I only recently noticed that she has a dog 😁 ... ❗❗❗I really want to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and ask you to PLEASE DO NOT SMOKE MARIJUANA🚭 WHILE YOU ARE DESIGNING THE FUTURE CASCADIA 127 !!!❗❗❗❗❗ Toda roba .

Great video Shelby

I miss Sandy Utah,Im still in Pittsburg PA but hopping to move back by spring of 2023,Reno and sparks NV lived there for 23 years,left LA when I turnd 18 to live to reno.

[@Connie1Fan]

That's your pile 😍 That's nothing compared to the junk I always bring which I know is because I stay out minimum 2 months and don't do laundry out there, don't like it, I'm little like you and always cold, so I have huge down comforter and other blankets. It really is a lot... but I love I have all I need with me. Nice you can keep truck in your driveway at the house, is not allowed here, so I'm 13 miles from truck, not bad. I get anxious the same day I'm getting ready and packing my Jeep with my junk and climbing in and out so many times, but so relieved when all is in it's place, then I kinda get happy and ready to roll 😍 Have a safe trip

[@gearslip8325]

🤔 I don’t know. “. I always pack, nip N Tight. All clothing in a rollaway suitcase with laundry bag, dirty laundry, folded in laundry bag in suitcase, one backpack for toiletries for going to truckstop or hotels showers another high quality, durable, backpack for iPad charging Equipment , computer equipment. And then a rollaway case for camera gear, drone, Etc. All cabinets and spaces in the truck are filled with food items and things that can be left behind in case at a moments notice you need to jump ship take a train a bus or a plane but I am a company driver. 😂

[@mikeriley9209]

Yes I have 3 as well. I have locked myself out a few times. My dog did it to me 2 times. Be safe out. Peace

[@Navajo-man]

Hi Shelby and Dakota awesome video as always love how you pack extra blankets oh you don’t need makeup looking awesome and as always you and Dakota be safe on road 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@thewaltersshow609]

You have a nice truck!!!! I'd be outside in shorts if it were 51 degrees here. lol

[@Weyco23]

Those mountains are gorgeous.

[@garywilson12]

you are such an inspiration and not just for the trucking industry

[@Inferlogist]

Such a blanket is difficult to wash , especially on trakstops, and it also does the reverse work , on the one hand it creates the effect of excessive warming and forces you to open up , but those parts of the body that remain under this blanket begin to sweat , most often the back , as a result , you have a burning cutting pain and you can't breathe deeply or twist your neck for a week . Shelby , I wish you feel well.

[@deantait8326]

[@jamessteele4913]

I'm pretty sure I own those exact same bins! Got them at Target to boot. They live in the top bunk space and hold food and cleaning supplies. (driver before me got rid of the top mattress). I LOVE these bins and will definitely get some more. Also YES. I LOVE Utahs mountain scenery. It's my favorite place to drive for sure
