I watched Full Metal Jacket right before watching this video. I was laughing my butt off because as soon as Dave made his girlfriend comment, I thought about the scene in which R. Lee Ermey mentioned that the "magots" wouldn't be fingerbanging Old Mary Jane Rottencroch, lol. However, in Ole Dave's case, we need to substitute a semi for the M14, lol.

[@gladiator7519]

I gotta say, I’m loving the CFI design on the Kenworth

[@robertmaxwell532]

Dave, a little tip for you...when you are asked to slide the trailer tandems to the rear, leave them where they are, get your trailer in the slot, do not back all the way to the back, get out , pull the tandem release, pull your tractor forward, set your tandems, close or open the doors and back into the slot, lower the landing gear, unhook the tractor and airlines and pigtail, and pull the tractor out from under the trailer. The theory is that leaving the tandems forward shortens the turning distance. I am impressed with your driving so keep up the good work.

[@andrewphilpott2925]

You have gotten me addicted to trucking and I know nothing about trucking. I definitely have a new appreciation for what you guys do and if the career I’m currently in ever falls apart, I think the trucking life would suit me. Stay safe Dave. Come on Larry!

[@michaelh3905]

I bought a CFI toy truck for my son for Christmas. You wind it up and it goes forward, backwards, jackknifes and flips over

[@thisoldtruck991]

Moving those tandems back will screw with ya a bit, I always used to wait till I was in the hole before I slid them back. Keep up the good work, Dave.

[@jamesschultz30]

Same here. If I had to move them, just wait until your in the hole, slide them back and finish docking.

[@billfryer5911]

Same here, except where they make you slide them before entering the yard.

Hey Dave. I just wanna say thank you for all the great content. I've been watching you for about a month now and have enjoyed every video since. You're just a humble and a funny dude. Your videos have actually persuaded me to consider becoming a truck driver myself sometime in the near future. Thank you again for all the content and giving me something to do during this hell hole of a year. Stay safe out there!

[@garythomas1776]

I was out with CFI last year and love your videos Dave.. sucks they dont want you to cuss because it's You and it made it funnier. But still love your wit and sarcasm....... you've picked it up quick being a newbie, great job. I watched all your trucking videos on my 4 day weekend.. peace, and avoid the coffee breath. Lol

[@Sledge72au]

So many larry's in the world, full of criticism, not constructive criticism. Keep up the good work, love ya shenanigan's :)

[@jdarov]

Lol pull ups took forever for me to understand as well. On that first run when your just little crooked in the hole natural instinct or trainer may have taught pull right, left and under. Don't do this. Keep nose to the left and simply pull forward. When you straighten out the trailer tire with the line swing hard right to get under it and it's a perfect straight back. So far loving your channel. No sugar coating it. Just real life every day trucking problems.

[@chrisgeezvlog7349]

Regarding avoiding CFI trucks: I saw one on the highway a few weeks ago that had me concerned. The driver was weaving off the lane of travel repeatedly. And when I was able to safely pass him, he looked dead tired. I actually thought about calling the police on him, but he ended up exiting the highway where a truck stop was located after passing me a few miles down the road where I had slowed to the lowered speed limit.

[@rusty2006jm]

So for being a rookie I think your doing a damn good job, you gotta start somewhere, hopefully I meet you out on the road, look for Hirschbach truck 28168, would love to sit and talk shop with ya, keep up the good work, and remember never stop learning, I've been driving for 4 years and I still learn things

[@louisianainfidel6732]

Clorox Roanoke, Tx. Wow,, thanks Dave for some really great memories. We’d deliver in Midway, Fl then shoot up to Ochlocknee, Ga. Big oil dri plant. Get a 45000++ of Fresh Step aka scented oil dri , straight to Roanoke. Love Texas. Wish I could still do it. Be safe

[@kev1163]

hey Dave, new subscriber, ive been driving for 36 years, i really enjoy your videos, takes me back to when i first started, long before the CDL, all we needed was a chauffer license. im not one of these guys that is going to say look at this rookie, im one of those guys who is thinking that my wife and or child could be in the car beside him. i have commented on a couple of your past videos. i will give you constructive advice. you are doing a great job so far, no injuries to you or anyone else and no property damage, great job, keep up the good work... ive noticed the trailers you have been pulling have the manual pull handle for the trailer tandems,( they can be a bitch) check out the sta-rat, there are some utube videos on them, they are a little pricey but well worth the money. keep truckin brother...

[@chrisgeezvlog7349]

Dave, that wooden tire thumper should serve you well, but I recommend that you keep it within easy reach when sitting in the driver seat. I keep mine below the left side of the seat. Makes it easy to get to it while seated and also standing by the opened driver side door.

[@carldrexler7883]

Don’t pay Larry any mind your doing just fine and a lot better than others I’ve seen and you’re doing good because you want to 👍👍👍👍

[@johnchristopherson2957]

I hope that the two of you aren't the reason why Costco ran out of toilet paper about a week ago, lol Just joking around, but seriously though I want to thank both of you as well as all of the truckers who deliver needed supplies to all the stores, especially Costco, because without y'all the shelves would really be bare.

Quick hint.... slide your tandems up first or keep them in the same place, back in, get straight, then slide them back and bump the dock

[@jayj2051]

Hey Dave before I started watching your videos this trucker who's videos I watch, when he has to do night stops he would put a flash light on the ground by the docks. Maybe that will help at night when backing

One day, just maybe, you will learn to slide your tandems back AFTER you get the trailer in the hole. It's just one more little thing to make the job a tad easier. The little things add up at the end of the day.

Question, do the outer walls of the trailers are metal or Fiberglass or plastic?..... If metal, get a couple of LED lamps (with magnets 🧲) battery operated and before the backing place them as closed to the open doors to light the path 💡
