Flying Into A CAT-4 Hurricane! | Hurricane Laura Part 1

[@t-yoonit]

Trucking for me has been a career choice. I really never knew I wanted it to be my thing until I got in. I wanted to build custom homes as a career goal but i graduated HS in '09 and the bottom was already out of the market at that point. So i turned wrenches and eventually burned out and landed in a driver's seat and haven't looked back since. Of course there are bad days. I did local hand load delivery, van work, regional otr, tanker, and gravel. Gravel is my thing for sure. And I stretch my legs in the winter doing regional. It pays the bills and scratched the itch of wondering what longer haul stuff was like. My favorite states are the southern Appalachian states. Kentucky, Tennessee, far eastern ohio, and the rocky areas of Missouri. Driving through drilled rock is just fascinating and the views along those roads are nothing short of incredible. I doubt I'll get to see the rockies for a number of years due to needing to be home every week, but I do look forward to a potential future with me heading westbound. My end goal is to move up in this outfit and eventually make it on the truck show list and be able to travel around to shows and represent the company and show off a lesser viewed sector of the industry, Michigan gravel trains. Maybe some day. I still get to drive really dressed up trucks regardless and I love the job I do.

[@jsadamsster]

Lesson learned. I admire the fact that you took responsibility for the mistake and kept a positive attitude. You're a stand-up person.

[@TheNails3]

What a wonderful pilot - he's a hero!

[@Snipedog1978]

I love your cheerfulness and that you always have a positive outlook. I love to watch your videos you always cheer me up after a hard a day of work. Safe travels to both you and BKM

[@MatthewBarberio]

Thank goodness your flights weren't caught in the Hurricane. I'm glad you were able to get where you were going safely! And BKM got some excellent shots for this video. The rain hitting the airport windows was very soothing and the city lights from the plane were amazing!

[@rickharper1497]

You two stay safe, be waiting for next video!!

[@jamesgunkelman1314]

Shelby, a great video of your flying nightmare. It's bad enough flying on a normal day, now with this virus thing makes it that much worst, and now your flying with a Cat4 hurricane ready to hit anytime. You did well Shelby, at least you had B Cam with you for moral support. B Cam did an excellent job with the night video from the plane. Looking forward to part 2 Shelby. Stay safe Shelby !!!!!!!

[@javierleonwebtruck_es9749]

Thanks for sharing your travels. ⛟We accompany you everywhere 🛩⛴🛸

[@MyEmptyNestQuest]

You're so fortunate to have a close friend/ex to film you and edit your videos. Hope you thank and appreciate him often. It is what propelled your channel so quickly.

[@MyEmptyNestQuest]

@@nicklinderman4462trigger much? yes she knows her stuff and is beautiful. However if she would have started on her own trying to film everything herself the channel would not have grown as "quickly".

[@brodypilcher3643]

That’s where I bought my first truck at and talkin with em now bout gettin a new western star so fingers crossed

[@matthewthompson89]

I love everything you do Shelby , especially all the music you play in your videos , thank you for what you do for all of us . We hope you are safe and doing well !

[@FriedShrimpPoBoy]

Shreveport!!!! Yessss!! My home town. It wasn’t that bad in SHV. A few trees down and I lost power for 26 hours. A lot worse in Natchitoches and further south.

[@rotorfib8719]

I love flying!! Those 'small' jets are awesome, usually very smooth.. i remember the days of crawling into those little turbo props, aka puddle jumpers... now those were a fun ride!!

[@becausewhynot2661]

I can’t believe your bags left without you! That usually never happens. If the passenger is not on the plane, the bag comes off.

[@Studio23Media]

Yes, this is a safety protocol. It raises suspicion. Bad actors could check in, send their bags in the air, and be out of the country by the time the plane takes off.

[@glenwest4159]

You had the worst seats out of ATL. They don't recliner but only a short flight. Happy you made it. You flew a Canadair CRJ-200 to SHV from ATL.

[@KYM54.]

Thank god you guys are ok! Watching your journey as i type Shelby, take care.

[@luchador5341]

BKM genuinely blows my mind, I have no clue how he can make anything look amazing, if it's flying in an airplane, on the ferry, or inside of a truck.

[@Letsgo-wx3xo]

I love this girl's videos! All the best!

[@d.rivera4027]

Yet again, another amazing video! Stay safe.

[@ShiddabrikGaming0]

hahahaha i love how the first thing you said when you got off the plane in shreveport was "this airport looks old" welcome to shreveport, where everything is old and crumbling.

[@English.Andy1]

Oh don’t need to worry about. When I was in the Royal Air Force in 2003 it was more dicey being shot at with missiles. A couple of times I spilt my tea as the pilot took evasive action. Bit of wind blowing any day 😉😎😂

[@bensond32]

Glad you guys made it down safely! I can't wait for part 2! Keep up the great work!

[@johndollahite655]

Welcome to N.E. Texas Shelby. Hope you electricity the whole time you was here. Have a safe Labor Day...

[@ontheroad7097]

I’m glad you made it down there safely!

[@danfinley3690]

Glad y’all made your trip safe can’t wait til part 2

[@victorhugotl6481]

Hey Shelby so happy to see you our screen and putting a smile on our faces 🙏🏻🙏🏻😎 and stay safe to I really don’t like hurricanes at all. Plus the music and shots that BKM take will always be awesome 😎 and 🔥 fire. Can’t wait for part 2

[@ShelbyHBTM]

It’ll come tomorrow 😉

[@victorhugotl6481]

Happiness By The Mile whoooo 😁🎉

[@McHighler]

A huge shout out to the camera man! You're good at what you do, always giving great footage. I especially was happy to see what it looks like to board a plane. I've been been on one so that was cool!

[@LWolfe-ws3zm]

That lil plane is called a puddle jumper!! Small huh!! Stay safe Shelby & BKM. Fellow lady trucker: Firestarter....

[@Christyc250]

No small, is an 8 seater with no bathroom and staying buckled the whole time. Wish I had the plane she was on when I travel, lol.

[@nancyshipp5071]

I am excited for your journey and to watch your videos. I start my orientation in Oct. and your videos on what to bring and expect where very helpful. Take care and be safe.

[@christopherelkin65]

Next time you might fly to Little Rock and then drive down to Texarkana. About a 3 hour drive.

[@dennisperschbacher3688]

Just flew through Atlanta to Spartanburg SC. Time for your next flight is on your boarding pass. Big place to run from gate to gate!

[@demolishu1]

God Bless and thanks for being Awesome!

[@Legend-gi3zz]

You should have tried to sleep when she came over Vernon parish with 136 mph winds that was rough, people still without power and were over 100 miles from the gulf! they say below us will be over a month or more for most to get power!

[@neosonic199]

Round 2 at the airport huh, but I'm glad that you and BKM were able to safely soar through the sky.

[@ethankish]

Intro gives me Peter McKinnon energy, also I’ve seen like 3 of your vids and I’m obsessed

Hola amigas bendiciones desde Panama City 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@Dumbass_mechanic]

Good that the airline was understanding of your mistake and that they were still able to get you where you were going. About 24 years ago I was supposed to take a trip from Chicago to Florida. I had just replaced the engine in my truck, and the fan came loose on the Stevenson on the way to midway, so I had to pull to the side of the road and fix that. When I did I must have hit something, and it made a little hole in the sidewall of the tire, so I had to stop and get a can of fix a flat since I didn't have a spare with me... which didn't work, somehow I got to the airport with only a little air left in the tire and parked in the wrong garage that was for people picking up and dropping off, not for overnight parking.. but whatever I figured I'd deal with that later. I got out of the truck and grabbed my gear, luckily I wasn't checking any luggage and had everything I needed in a carry in bag. I got to the gate in time to watch the plane back away. I talked to an agent from southwest airlines and they put me on a flight in 3 hours that stopped in Nashville, and then went on to Orlando, but when I got to Nashville I was considered standby and sure enough... got pulled from the plane... except... I left my ticket home in the seat back pocket never to be seen again. So, southwest had me sit in Nashville for I think 2 hours, I had told them that I needed either to get to Florida or back to Chicago and hadn't planned to move to Nashville, and also my ticket home was in the seat pocket and could they tell a flight attendant to grab it for me? They put me on a plane that was already boarding to New Orleans, then after 5 hours I'd go on to Orlando, so I flew to New Orleans and sat in the airport for 5 hours, where I went to an empty gate and took a good nap on the floor. Then flew on to Orlando 7 hours later than I was supposed to arrive. Luckily... the girl I had gone to see was sitting there when I got there, and was very cool about it. I talked to someone about my ticket home before we left the airport and they told me the ticket was like cash, so anyone can use it, and apparently someone had so I was stuck in Orlando until I bought another ticket, so... the girl I was with bought the ticket and we went on.. when I got home I had a truck that was sitting on a flat tire in an airport parking garage that wasn't for overnight parking for a week and they called abandoned. When I showed up the guard put air in my tire, then they charged me around $250 to pull my truck out, which I didn't have at the time, so I paid the $40 I did have and they told me to mail them the rest, which I never did. Then I had to go to a tire shop on the south side of Chicago close to the airport and bought a used tire for $30 that ended up having a slipped belt, but it got me 45 minutes home. Once I got home I called and was given a voucher for the price of the ticket home, and had to go buy a new tire. Southwest's customer service was amazing. Ever since then I've always flown southwest and never any other airline, and I've never had a vehicle without a spare tire and tools to change it with.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Thank you for the video..Have a blessed day..

[@williamkraft5574]

As an airline employee, I'm so glad that you made the decision to fly, I do a lot of research on cleanliness and safety of different airlines. I realize that you don't have a lot of options to fly to SHV out of SLC. I believe that choosing Delta was a good choice to keep you safe from the Covid since a lot of airlines don't block the middle seats. I hope you had a safe and productive trip. Love your videos!!

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Oh so cute!! Well Shelby we saw postcards and a photo of the new Cascadia Truck so guess what comes next, will be the appraisal to you and him driving home?

[@davidwaddell8758]

Hey Shelby and BKM!👋 figured itt out either u and BKM r a couple or u r roomates? But none of my business! Y'all be safe in ur travels and adventures! Always love the scenery and I think the introduction is awesome! I think that and the scenery is what attracted ur utube channel to me, not to say that ur not a pretty woman at all! 👋😆❤❤👍

Thats why i always go to my gate early. I rather be there early then late. And i am always looking out for Gate changes for my plane too.

my inspiration ❤️🇵🇭🇨🇦 be safe and keep on trucking

[@bobcarpenter1551]

A few things, as a (former, pre-CV19) traveller I highly recommend. 1) Get your phone figured out so it will change time zones appropriately. ( I understand if you don't want to, #2 will save you) 2) Use a flight/travel tracking application, it would have told you about your pending gate, etc. (I hope.) I too have nearly been caught by time changes where I'm going "Sure, I have 2.5 hours before my flight." Nope, it was 30 minutes, time change. The travel app saved me. At a minimum, load the app for the airline you're flying. #3) When you get the confirmation from your airline, add them to your calendar, most have calendar app adds. Thanks for keeping us up to date on your amazing job, and career!

[@williamkraft5574]

What travel app do you recommend?

[@bobcarpenter1551]

@@williamkraft5574 I used TripCase for years before my company switched to Egencia and I ended up using their app. I've heard good things about TripIt as well as Kayak.

[@edball4906]

TRUCKING FOR ME HAS BEEN A CAREER CHOICE REALLY NEVER KNOW WANTED IT BE MY THING UNTIL GOT

[@MikeDashper]

Just thinking about your clock mishap...I think you can download a dual time zone app one for your regular mountain time and one that changes as you travel.

[@UneekSaltyAF]

Doesn't your clock change to the current time zone that you're in at the moment? Or did you lock it so it wouldn't change?

[@sandrasmith7501]

This was very entertaining...sorry for your stress level though!!
