I've been watching your videos since you started at Maverick some years ago and I always enjoyed your content. I was employed at Maverick also when you were there in the temp control division until they sold it to KLLM🤬 But I'm still here on the Tyson regional dedicated account. Not too shabby. Glad to see you still posting videos and I'll keep watching. Stay safe!

[@angiesheart8912]

Good to see you Dale..

[@LuisRodriguez-id6qg]

Good to hear from you.

[@woodworking5979]

Chair force is back dale clay good content u liking it out in Washington state

[@Skynet-1]

Happy trails to you, until we meet again. 👍

[@mr.e479]

Good to see you Dale 👍

[@billr5907]

You just thoroughly enjoyed that...as did I...🤭 As least he did strap something. There was a truck load of pallets that fell off the truck in Nashville the other day....NO STRAPS on the load...go figure. If I ever pull a flat bed, I will review all of your Maverick videos for the best examples on how to strap and tarp a load.

[@alanakins3099]

great video Dale glad seeing you again

[@nickwilliam78]

Hilarious 😂 Do more videos sir you're funny as shit

[@chrisretusn]

Well lookie here, a video from Dale in my notifications. Watched to the end. I'm a glutton for punishment. 😉 Post'em when ya can. I like surprises. Ive always gone with you can never have to many, not enough on the other hand, well that could be bad. 😁

[@flashback9590]

I just got my metal coil and cargo endorsement on my CDL for New York ......after studying and observing I realized that alot of drivers have no idea what they are doing when it comes to •"SECUREMENT"• it's very scary to think what mess is hiding under that Tarp. (Safe travels to all)

[@mikedolan5435]

Yay! I love a good Dale rant first thing in the morning!

[@ILHillbilly67]

He utilized the, “I’m only going 7 miles” method of stupidity, I mean securement

[@robdegrazia6343]

Always good to see you again amigo! Stay safe!

[@bogiyt8746]

Finished watching your maverick videos and this is so cool to see you transition from that 7 years ago to what you’re doing now.

[@andrewj4442]

Happy New Year Dale! Nice to see you and hear your commentary. Safe travels! 👍👍

[@ThatGuy-xw5bn]

I made a reel on ig about this same thing only flat steel. It’s amazing how many people called me out for over securement on 47k of flat steel lol.. drivers all saying I haul it all the time you don’t need that much securement lol… I’ll always do what’s safe to me. Great video bro! I always look for ya when I’m up in the pnw.

[@danielhahn5455]

Dale, Glad to see you back. Thank you for the videos and your time making them!

[@prosperity4444]

Extra straps never hurt anybody I'd rather have extra straps than not enough straps if one fails

[@jackhandy7684]

When I see those types of trailers now, I just assume undersecurement. Just from experience.

[@mudcrutched1]

Speed in securement is dangerous.

[@RM.....]

Great to see you Dale.

[@larryellison185]

It’s just a matter of time before that driver will regret his strapping methods!

[@sniper1967]

Love to hear from you again 😀 How do you film to get front and back camera at the same time?

[@dapperdan251]

It ain’t what ya got, it’s what ya use.

[@joecuslidge3751]

Good to see you! No matter what you had to talk about.

[@ThatGuy-xw5bn]

By any chance you see the dude that has a load shit in the 5 right before Seattle yesterday 2/10/22? Had a 40k crane counterweight with 6 straps, load was falling off the front of his trailer almost into his cab 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@erikcaldwell2913]

Did you move to Washington?

[@stevenmurata4392]

Where have you been, lol?

[@nickreed6211]

From just a number’s perspective if the load ways 45,000 then dot regulation requires only 50% of the loads weight to be secured so by that it needs 22,500 the standard four inch strap has a valve of 5,400 x4 21,600 so he’s 900 short of legal but if he has those gray rhino straps that have a value of 6,600 x4 26,400 at four straps would pass 🤷‍♂️ Also I don’t necessarily agree with the whole 50% of the loads weight thing but it’s a thing

[@stewstewart1798]

Don't worry about content Dale, some of us just like to see that "PRETTY"(LMAO) face every so often, just because you are a good guy. Been watching since the first day at Maverick training in the Fall of 2014. So just post anything at all every so often kid, don't worry we'll watch.

[@mikeziegler7008]

Long time, (40+ years), trucker and open deck guy here. Although your approach to many things varies from mine its mostly a geographic thing. My main hauls were lumber and building materials and not so much steel. Therefore, our available gear is substantially different. So here's my question: You obviously have a lot of knowledge and you approach things from a thoughtful perspective. And now you have several years of experience under your belt. I would think that you could go to almost any operation and land a job that suits you. But you stayed with Maverick for quite some time and now you make the jump to JB Hunt? Maybe it's my bias but I've always viewed both of those operations as places to get some experience and then move on to better things. In fairness to Maverick and JB Hunt, I have been retired for a few years and I worked local and have not been OTR for several years... maybe things have changed a lot.

[@DaleLClay]

I completely see your view on this situation. Maverick was never my long term goal, but moving to Washington was. Took a year off from work, maybe more. Now I am back at it. 80k a year driving 6 - 10 hours a day. Was even thinking about purchasing my own truck. What I have in driving experience far exceeds my faith in finding a decent gig. This particular JB hunt jobs is probably the hidden GEM at this company. I am done with over the road, so I slowly search for greener pastures. The key is.... where to build my house. Which is sort of tied into where I work. So I am currently looking for land or a house. Which may require me to find other employment. The other tricky part is Washington State prices and laws. Both of which are a disincentive to even be in this state. In the end I am on the same page with you, I can work any where. Nothing is tying me done here.

[@mikeziegler7008]

@@DaleLClay Kudos to you for giving up OTR! Washington is a beautiful state, (I live in Oregon), and it sounds like you found a good gig. I ended my trucking career behind the wheel, (and dispatching), several log trucks. It was hard work and scary at times but staying off of the interstate, (and in the woods), was worth it to me. Best of luck to you going forward and great job on your videos!

[@engelericj]

It is standard practice to go full wookie / sasquatch in the winter time up in the PNW.

[@stoolie10]

Funny how people will take unnecessary risk to save themselves time they may need later on in life picking up all the pieces when something stupid happens to them. Like your content Dale..maybe it’s kind of like racing to the next stop light.

[@scudfarcus4343]

I know the type of driver you're talking about. I think at least part of the time, it's pure laziness instead of, or in addition to, being in a hurry. I must be the opposite, because often other drivers will ask me why I'm using so many straps. I figure it only takes another minute or two for each extra strap and that's well worth the peace of mind I get in return, knowing I did about all I could reasonably do to secure the load.

[@stevenmurata4392]

Thanks & take care, stranger (not refering to your personality, lol.)

[@gumps1986]

I would’ve thrown one more over the front stack, but I do believe he meets the required securement for a trailer with headache rack.

[@DaleLClay]

Not sure if sheet metal counts as a headache rack. My Conestoga was just a thin piece of sheet metal. Maybe his was different.

[@Tim007rus]

He only had so many straps because it was only going 7 miles away. Lots of people do that. I don’t :)

[@MrShucaac]

Hey Mr where you been

[@adamshaw8214]

You miss maverick yet?

[@DaleLClay]

No, Over the Road stuff is not for me. I prefer sleeping at home.

[@jenyooin]

You're that one guy who complaints about anything. Mr George look what he's doing. Mr. George why he can do it Mr George. Cry cry cry 😭😭😭

[@DaleLClay]

You are my Hero

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Is this better than Maverick

[@Jsef0801]

Well it's non metal building materials that don't slide too easy, and there's a headache rack. For a 10 mile trip, as long as you know how to drive you're good. Also there's no wind hitting the straps. As long as he doesn't wreck full force into someone or something it is safe. One good thing about heavy loads is you can't brake hard enough to stress the load. Now if this was coils or pipe, that would be entirely different. Although if dot was paying attention they could fine him maybe. If he didn't have double straps on the front and back.
