You're welcome for the $25 I sent you, last video Alex. Dude even I had to notice that those seals do crack and rot, you seem to have a hard time with your trailer? Sometimes I have issues with my tandems and being a rookie sometimes setting them. I have 24 new ones on order, but I keep getting older ones that my uncle bought used years ago.

[@danj4842]

Alex at 7:14 you got back in your truck without hand sanitizer. Probably wanna do a level 3 decontamination and steam clean.

[@andyjay4442]

Lord help us!

[@mountuplikeaneagle]

Companies love drivers that take care of their equipment. Alex is a shining example of a companies dream driver.

[@l.ls.8890]

Hey Alex, you take a lot of pride in having a nice clean truck and you bang the bolt cutters up against the paint on the door to remove the seal. Chipping the Paint. Bad Form.

[@scottied67]

Always keep the key on your key ring and always keep that in your pocket. That way you never have to worry where it's at.

8:20 all shop will do is patch it with aircraft aluminum tape. You should buy some of that tape too. Comes in really handy and saves you lots of time and headaches.

[@yolandalcheek462]

Your truck is always tidy!🎉 Good job 👍

[@robertjohnston472]

Thanks for sharing your travels. I love to learn where all your states and towns are. Following from Sydney Australia.

[@marksellinger3736]

Alex, get yourself some foil tape. You can tape up lil 'metal errors' right quick. And good on you for having GLADHAND GROMMETS in supply. (You are a seasoned trucker....gotta talk the talk there driver!} Job well done!

[@lmao7183]

Right, having a stock of gladhand seals is important but it's amazing how many people over look it.

Seasoned trucker? He has been with more company's then years in a truck.

I love how much you are about your trailer matching your truck lol

Great job Alex, your trucks always look good and so does your work ! see ya for the next one 🥰👍

Did i hear that right? He went onduty just to slide tandems and.close the doors? Hell i didnt think anyone did that 😲

No idea.

Bro is the hall monitor of the roads

[@Frank-ul1qs]

Good video. Keep it going. I swear feels like I'm there.

[@seamusblack5876]

But it's only a silly little hole it didn't need to be repaired straight away just duck tape it and they can sort it when the trailer is next serviced There was no need for it to change your whole day

[@andyjay4442]

[@wanghaf_Gl0yper]

Bro is constantly putting reflective tape on every trailer lol

[@brothersgrimmshow2496]

A little battery operated blower would be great for those trailers that need cleaned

[@wanghaf_Gl0yper]

Bro refuses to make anything easier. Don’t even think about telling him to stop pulling trailer brake to park 24/7, and the f*cking hazard lights lol

[@pvavmnpls]

Hi Alex, it's always great to see another video, I love the content and listing to you talk as you drive, you are always so pleasant and I love the Alexisms. Keep up the great work, stay safe out there.

over here at Schneider, the DVIR report would say no defects in good condition on the trailer LOL!

[@anthonylagunas6737]

That's because the prior driver didn't report it.

I love your content. you are always on point and cautious with exact details. You make me interested in truck life, big up bro

[@guybuddyman838]

😂 he can’t make deliveries so they made him a shunt driver.

[@PhantomBeats445]

its rare to see this dude make 1 delievery in a video lmaooo ..... He mostly at the truckstops, backing, or cooking something

[@Ohiostategenerationx]

Man slap some duct tape on that shit and keep rolling.

Glad ur name is ohio, it reinforces the belief that the duct tape headquarters truly holds something over all of us

[@Ohiostategenerationx]

@@jmas225 that hole was not big enough to lose a whole day over. But yeah Ohio must be doing something right since we invented lot's of life changing things. Like flight and first NFL team and pop tops on can's the cheezit cracker and lot's more.

When I used to work at Prime I would always ask for a bag full of gladhand seals when I visited their terminals. They were handed out freely so I would make sure I had more then I needed. :P

Hey Alex how long are you out on the road for before you get any home time. Does GP transco make you do a 34 otr?.

I think i saw you yesterday going east on I64 in Illinois about 30 min from St. Louis MO

Your to funny Alex, you care about how dirty your truck is and matching too awesome love ya

[@ginog5037]

Duct Tape fixes everything, you need to carry a roll Alex. The truck wash is cool...

[@Otownsteve]

You are really good safe driver willing to go all over the country and live in that truck. I recently got my cdl and tried melton flatbed. They flew me to Tulsa OK and I only made it through 2 days of orientation. It is in the 100s here and flatbed is all manual labor heavy lifting. Not for me gonna try dry van local or regional home at least 2 days a week out of Central florida.

Is driving 500 miles a day not normal for you? I don’t see how you can make any money if you’re not driving at least 500 miles a day

283 miles a day on average

[@andyjay4442]

@@scottied67really? Is that a true figure?

[@OceanLoverLibra]

It's because he pretty much refuses to work after 3 in the afternoon. He usually shuts down at 3 regardless of how many hours or miles he's put in for the day.

[@ozzie4306]

@@OceanLoverLibra I don’t know how he gets away with it. I worked for GP for over a year and I never got to shut down at 3. You drove your clock out pretty much everyday. But he is a KZbinr and they have been known to treat them special due to them promoting the company. Was a good company too btw. I do miss it

im almost sure that they're going to speak up on this. even this video here.. not driving the last 3hrs to the receiver is completely crazy to me.. he wouldve been there and had more time to sleep in AND a on time delivery
