Take a picture, I never had a claim in 42 years, never took a picture, I did seal the trailer. You look and if it’s not loaded right you have them fix it before you seal it.

He is the only driver that gets loaded and unloaded at record times,at every stop he goes to ! I GUARANTEE the deliveries he doesn't show you are NOTHING like the ones he edits !!! There are 30-31 days in a month,he picks & chooses the greatest videos to make his days look soooooo easy,when i know for a fact....it doesn't work that way. GP transco is not built the way he is portraying them to be,or as many loads he is getting. EDITING is his favorite tool ! All of you future drivers,it's not as simple & graceful as he makes it....he is not an example of what to look for in this industry. Yes,he narrates like he knows what he is talking about,but remember...He repeats the same things on almost every video. He hasn't learned the basics in the 2 years he has been driving,and that is terrible. Do your research with seasoned You Tube truckers,that can teach you the right way. Use his channel for entertainment & laughing purposes only !!!!

24:00 Alex, you weigh the steer first, then steer and drive together, then everything else.
@browniedbaby Жыл бұрын
✔️Tip for weighing: weigh your steers. then weigh your drives by weighing steers and drives together. Last weigh the tandems by weighing the whole truck and trailer. What to do: subtract the weight of steers from total of the steers and drives to get drive weight. Then subtract drive and steer weight from the whole total of truck and trailer to get the tandem weight. *your calculations look like you did something similar but I got confused watching you pull forward to weigh tandems by itself. The way I’m suggesting will allow you to do it in one fluid motion without doubling back on the scale.

I have discovered someone with far less puppyish joy and a tyro delighting in new discoveries - and much more the responsible adult with the weight of the world in his shoulders - and tension in the voice! I hope you can find the time to take stock, breathe and reposition - perhaps rediscover some of the things which made you love it in the first place..❤❤
