25:34 I take it a step further, I take a picture of the load, close the doors and take a picture with the seal on, then I note the time I took it and I can prove it with the time stamp on the picture and what time I sent my departure from shipper.

My brother was a super trucker for about 20 years. He said that he saw fights, and trucker’s talking politics and almost getting into to fights over that. Any crazy stories from all you other super truckers?

Hey Alex, another great video you getting your share of hauls I see. I'm just the opposite of you, because 30,000 and less are what I like. I sent you about a dozen new subscribers, who asked what's trucking like? I highly recommendatory your channel. I have my guys all watching the weather as there's a hurricane brewing. Please be safe they're nothing to play with, they're seriously deadly. I wish you well and I'm finally loving my job. Let me wish you well and less than 202k subscribers to go my friend. I'll keep putting out the good word about your channel stay safe and alert.

I heard you say you're going to use your Jake brake a lot you are learning 👍 but you should use your Jake brake all the time saved your service brakes so when you really need them you got them

[@browniedbaby]

✔️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.

[@18wheeler77]

That always reminds me of Die Hard 3 where McLain has to weigh exactly 4 gallons using a 3 and a 5 gallon drum, to deactivate the bomb.

[@browniedbaby]

@@18wheeler77 😅 uugh oh. I had never seen that before. I just searched the scene on KZbin. That was fitting😆

[@keithh8149]

I know it made my eye twitch watching this lol, he definitely overworked scaling😝🤷🏻‍♂️

[@KeithRowell-ix2qg]

If it is a single platform you weigh each steering then drives then trailer. No back tracks

[@harold1901]

Fall is coming and going get darker early. It will get dark around 4 when the clock goes back.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Not till around December... You're thinking of winter not the clock change that only moves it back an hour..... instead of 8 it sets at 7 in the fall, winter is when we get darkness by 5 pm...

[@18wheeler77]

24:00 Alex, you weigh the steer first, then steer and drive together, then everything else.

[@uhavemooface]

Just found your channel from a short where you got a console. I think it was an xbox but not sure. Anyways new subscriber here.

[@billfryer5911]

Best way to refer to your axles are the steers, the drives, and the tandems.

[@normnewman559]

Hi Alex... Thanks for ur videos. I thought about getting into trucking when I was younger. But I had ageing parents and was afraid of being away from home if one of my parents got sick or passed away. Thanks for videos of life of a trucker.. I'm to old now

Drive up on the scale weigh your steers then drive up on the scale a little farther to weigh your drives write it down each one drive-up get the the total then subtract your drives and steers and you'll get your tandem weight

[@ronsmith4968]

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 !!!!

Buddy I love your postings - I just feel a little sad that having been away from your output for a while (for my own reasons of technical incompetence, not knowing how to work a notification bell!) that the time elapsed, about a year, meant that the difference between now and back then was really obvious. 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..❤❤
