Arriving Home with HardWOOD

[@johnnyfair]

I hope youre still out there. Post up!😊

[@robertcowan8211]

top bundles angled towards each other. I learned this from the old guys. I had a top bundle of 2 x 12 x 16 ft, slide out on a hard stop one time. shot out like a bullit over the cab then broke both my windshields out all while a cop watched............

[@patrickprice8011]

Hey dale love the videos. Where in Missouri are you delivering. I’m a fellow maverick and live in Missouri. I also have a load of hardwood going to neosho

[@DaleLClay]

Scott city

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

Little info about video editing. I do use Shotcut also free and I can do audio over and processes quickly with youtube filter even. Simple drag and drop function I do like it. Try it out it's free too

[@DaleLClay]

I had a free editor, but I decided to go even lazier and do one shot videos and upload without editing at all.

[@bryanmcintosh9854]

Hi Dale, really enjoy your video's. I recently got my CDL licence and will be starting with a flatbed company in Savannah. You have really helped and inspired me to take this totally new and different career path and change. keep the camera rolling!!!

[@DaleLClay]

Well, good luck. It takes time getting used to. The best advice I ever received was..... if you want to go it an honest go, give it at least 6 months before changing your mind.

[@kenflodstrom]

Good Job Dale Thank You For Your Video

[@apocyldoomer]

Home sweet Home, drink a few beers 🍻

[@RM.....]

Excellent as always Dale.Keep up the good work. Rob

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

We should be install on your trailer right behind your cabin the camera more often. Especially when you go into yards. It's interesting to watch how people behave behind your back and load too.

[@DaleLClay]

Many places don't allow camera's

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

Not even on the interstate? I understand when you enter their Yards and such. Anyhow safe trucking.

[@robertcowan8211]

ANGLE FRONT BUNDLES TO THE REAR, REAR BUNDLES TOWARDS FRONT. THAT REAR DOUBLE STACK SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET 1 STACK FOWARD.

[@dapperdan251]

Robert Cowan What do you mean by angling to the rear or angling to the front? I don’t follow what you mean by that. Thank you.

[@robertcowan8211]

to keep all lumber from sliding out on your 4 x4 ,s on the deck put a 2 x 4son top on the very front and very rear bottom bundles. top bundles

[@dapperdan251]

Robert Cowan Thanks.

[@robertcowan8211]

road vibrations will also make them work out especially finished lumber. if you have single top bundles belly wrap em tight as you can get them

[@driverytk9359]

Thanks for sharing. People who are new to trucking need to understand that it's not always exciting.

[@jamessalazar8755]

hey Dale almost 10,000 subs , awesome thank you Mr Clay.

[@DaleLClay]

It's kinda crazy to see that.

[@SonicMox]

Great videos Dale! I don’t have as much time to watch them anymore since I went through the two week orientation at TMC and now I’m starting my third week on the road with a driver trainer. I’m based in eastern PA, but maybe we will run into each other some day!

[@redlandscal2657]

After 2 weeks on the road its understandable. 😬

[@DaleLClay]

I am only out 1 week at a time

[@davidschneider9264]

Great title and great vid.

[@bluedevil0072]

When I was hauling Sheetrock out of NM, we had to have 2 straps with in the front 18" of the load. I would use a 4" in front then a 2" Ratchet Strap about 6" behind it.

[@DaleLClay]

I still see that on occasion.

[@whatheworld]

Nice clip Dale . I hate that plastic banding they put on those bundles.

[@davidlammers3713]

Hey dale, would you do a video of how you handle/conduct your pre-trip an post trip?

[@DaleLClay]

Nope

[@johnisgitt7631]

What percentage of the time do you have a full weekend at home? Like getting home at a reasonable time on Friday night and leave Monday morning?

[@rogermarkeson2403]

QUESTION _ _ _I have gotten a high priced ticket on the west coast for tying to the rub rail, is that legal east of the Mississippi ?

[@DaleLClay]

Sorry you had to drive in U.s.s C.

[@skylarstuart6323]

How do you scale out flatbed? I'm used to hauling dry van. Also if you don't live near a company facility does the company allow drivers to drop the trailer at a nearby ttruckstop and bobtail home? Just curious

[@Squatch304]

Just a quick question if you don't mind, what is the yearly pay like?

[@DaleLClay]

I make 1100 to 1200 a week, so multiply that by 52.

[@Squatch304]

Thank you sir!, I'm still on the fence about it, I live in WV so hope fully there would be weekend home time, I enjoy the videos they're very informative, be safe!

[@arronmoberly6449]

Great videos dale, safe travels have a good weekend

[@LoverofGod86]

Kool no problem understandably

[@robertbryson1017]

Well I like just checking in and seeing how you are doing. Being a fellow Maverick out of Carlisle, PA I like seeing what is happening on the other side of our company. Stay safe out there Mr. Clay

[@thehighersilence]

Dale, do u prefer 4’ hook strap or 4’ chain strap.?.

[@DaleLClay]

I have only ever used the hook straps, so right now I don't have a preference.

[@chrisretusn]

I gave you a thumb up before the video started like I always do.

[@DaleLClay]

You must have a evil twin that does the opposite out there somewhere :)

[@johnleake708]

Thanks for posting, hope you are doing well, and the road has not gotten to you.

[@LoverofGod86]

Not bad I’m in the Raleigh NC area u being home that frequent would that apply to me also and what’s the $ like decent ok good ?

[@DaleLClay]

I bring 1100 to 1200 a week after taxes. It really depends on where you live and what division you get into. Regional divisions get home every week.

[@michaelheinen8526]

have a good weekend with your family,come Monday u be safe out there,your were in Madison,illinoissssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@robertcowan8211]

let me know if I didn't explain properly

[@alanakins3099]

Have a good weekend

[@derrickodyes1934]

wet oakamum is heavy

[@scrappycat1647]

Thank you for publicly admitting your dislike of Face Book. I'm one of those "don't do face book" people myself. That's all I've got to say about that.

[@LoverofGod86]

Hey Mr.clay what’s the home time like with maverick?

[@DaleLClay]

I am home every weekend. I began my trucking career by looking for a company that could get me home as soon as frequently as possible.

[@sniper1967]

Hey Dale. Have you seen Neil Shane Otts channel? He’s a new Maverick driver and KZbinr and he makes great videos. It would be cool if you gave him a shoutout. He has about 300 subscribers today, he deserve some more attention. Have a great day.

[@terrysennhenn896]

If you were stopped at a DOT scale and they found you over weight, would the phone weight app save you from a ticket or would you need the paper copy from a CAT scale to prove you thought you were in compliance?

[@DaleLClay]

Paper is best in my opinion for that scenario you proposed. The phone just let's me know not to worry. It would be odd to be legal on a CAT scale and then be illegal on a DOT scale in my opinion.

[@sfitz-rp4du]

Has anybody asked lately if you still work for Maverick???

[@DaleLClay]

Na, probably because I make far fewer videos to avoid that question.

[@apocyldoomer]

Coming home with hard wood, nutting wrong with they, hehehehe but when u are married for 25 years like myself, the wife....ahh, you know man😂😀

[@stevenmurata4392]

I only come here for the subtle & dry humor. Take care. (Hopefully you make 10k by Monday, not $$, lol.)

[@stevenmurata4392]

Congrats, you made 10k!

[@tywinters9462]

Haha “I’m coming home with hard wood” I got a good title for this video, “screw you guys, I’m going home.

[@KrazyKrzysztof]

[@shaunhuckabee5904]

LMDAO!!!!!!! He said hard"WOOD"!

[@25mfd]
