It's easy to screw up when you're 5 hours passed your clock

[@donlightle3657]

Hey Dave, Guess how many drivers would have assumed that was the same trailer they put in that spot and not look at the number… Answer, 99.9 % of them. Hell, I’m not really even sure about that. Maybe 100% of them. Don’t be hard on yourself. 😏

[@JohnHallgren]

@@donlightle3657 and weren’t the first three digits of the trailer number the same on both? 161xx?

[@Weltschmerz1523]

This video is "That's trucking" in a nutshell. That was unfortunate but crap happens. Be safe Dave!

[@jamesrice4072]

I've been driving 18 years and I won't you to know that you really impress me with your attitude. Keep it that way, it will take you a long way. Always own your mistakes.

[@RedPillAlways]

I work at Kentucky trailer Manufacturing I built the sub base and frame crash plate an slide rails for semi trailers so if you look for the KTM manufacturer's plate within the Last 5 years. I'm there.. I'm not driving them but I am building them

[@paulmanssen5616]

New rule for Dave: always make sure u have the right trailer!

[@RidingWithDave]

This is the way

[@LetsDIYIt]

​@@RidingWithDave ok, you should definitely get a Grogu to accompany you on your drives now 😁

[@watermelonbleach]

At least you didnt bring the trailer completely across the country before figuring out lol. Thanks for the video Dave!

[@RidingWithDave]

Yeah I guess it could’ve been worse lol

[@ryanhutchinson9657]

@@RidingWithDave i love watching your trucking videos on your KZbin channel

[@loganwill-ut2ge]

Remember driver was told he's loaded as he pulled out shut his trailer doors payed no attention to fork lift inside yep it was break time guy just jumped off left it their would you believe receiver needed fork lift bought it over phone always read bills

[@ecocav0222]

​@loganwill-ut2ge I've pulled away from a dock that was a green light. When I hook up to the trailer being a drop and hook. When I pulled away a minute later I had workers yelling at me and stuff. Cause someone was loading it still. And try to say I damaged their dock plate when it fell. My dispatch and bosses called me and I had to explain that no the light was green and there was no damage to their equipment or our trailer either. And I was not told that they were still having to load the trailer still. Since then I only pull a trailer a very small amount distance and double check.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

What a weird thing to happen, Dave. I hope everything turned out ok. Stay safe.

[@DJ_Underwood]

I have to say the way you owned up to a mistake deserves the upmost respect, these days most people are so entitled they couldn't do that but you can, and I am so glad to see that, we are all human and any one could have made that small mistake, but you put your mouth and $$ on the line to own up to it, much respect my dude!

[@ParzTheDon]

Didn’t seem like a mistake, seemed like a pretty tactical way to mess with him. Edit; Ofcourse he should have checked the #’s tho. Servicing was the distraction to set that all up.

[@jamesrice4072]

Good for you. I like hearing you admit you screwed up. You're human. Most of us have done something similar in our careers. I hooked and hauled the wrong trailer 5 hours once. Just learn from it. Now I ALWAYS VERIFY THE TRAILER NUMBER ON THE BOL AFTER IM HOOKED.

[@alpheusOne]

where'd the other trailer go!? PA!? lol i did the math and there's gotta be another driver who ended up in PA with the wrong trailer LOL

[@ETNASES]

GOT MY CDL A TODAY DAVE!! But im going Local cuz family you know.

[@DoomedSouls43]

Now you just need to start a chanel!

[@ETNASES]

@YourDoom43 yeah im starting. I have 1 video but its my CDL training. Hopefully. Still looking for local companies

[@truckingwithtramjam]

You might look into split sleeper if allowed, this could really help you maximize your hours after waiting long periods. For example, instead of waiting the hour and a half you did on dispatch finding you a trailer, wait another 30 min and you will recapture that wait time after. Then, you only need an 8 hour rest to get the remaining time back

[@ThatAries321]

I remember watching you when you were testing at CFI, it's good to see how far you've come

[@mc6lue6erry14]

I work at Walmart and I’m always asking questions about truck driving and how it was for them when they started. I can see myself in 2 years with my cdl driving the 18wheeler working as a truck driver. Currently studying for my permit once the permit is in my hands it’s up from there. Your videos give great tips and I really learn from the parking and turning you do a great job of showing how to line it up and take it back😏 I love the content keep more videos coming I feel the experience not even being in a truck before. It takes my breath when your turning with cars or next to the curb.Looks like fun. Buckle the hustle😂💪

[@jomandajohnson8404]

Dave back again with another trucking flog love watching your videos sense I became a truck driver I fell in love with it I just love being on road and seeing different things and meeting and talking to people in different states.

[@IparanoiaZ]

JoJo u talk to people? 🫣 I could never! Lol unless they work for the same company I don’t even walk near anyone. That’s just me introverted as hell lol. But I love trucking so far traveling and such just vibing in my truck. Oh I hate US routes I did figure that out really fast.

[@jomandajohnson8404]

Lol well I don't walk up to people they come and talk to me they really cool and sweet and as long as they give me good energy ima give them good energy but yeah I really love being a truck driver it's just peaceful and less stressful to me I love it. 😁

[@IparanoiaZ]

@@jomandajohnson8404 Ahh! 🧐 why don’t they approach me? Hmm only one dude ever approached me and he was a cowboy old timer in Houston Texas. We was investigating a foreign guy blocking a fuel island and he was about to beat his ass. I was there for comedic relief 😂

[@jomandajohnson8404]

Lol it really be mostly guys that be trying to talk to me mostly pretty sure you know how that is soon as a man see a women getting out her truck all by her self they come running up to me and trying to talk lol it never fails but girls come up to me and talk to me to but the guys just be trying to get my number and just start being so extra all the time out here on the road you know us girls gotta watch our backs out here on the road. 🙂

[@shortstroke8712]

Been there done that Dave. I was running team for R&L carriers. Co-driver hooked to a set of pups going to Charlotte nc. He woke me up in Louisiana to switch out, and he had the wrong trailers. We had to take them back to Houston and get the right ones. That caused us to get home 10 hrs late to start our two days off. When I showed him his mistake, he said, “they’re gonna take that mileage out of our checks”! I replied, You mean your check Hoss! I was asleep in the bunk when you did that boo-boo! Lol Don’t know if they docked him or not, but my check came out fine. Put’s a big sick ball of stress in your belly when that happens for sure; but THAT’S TRUCKIN!!!!

[@carlaustin4501]

If you had 50 drivers that dropped that trailer as your situation, 50 drivers would of done the same thing. Live and learn man. Keep on truckn

[@catherinebrown5413]

It’s like I used to tell my son when he screwed up in soccer. “If that’s the worst thing that happens today, it’s been a pretty good day.”

[@robervin9107]

0:18 this and your story’s and laughs make the entire video for me thank you angel Dave love you be safe. It’s ok these things happen.

[@RedPillAlways]

I work at Kentucky Trailer Manufacturing. I can tell by the Mansfield bar that Trailer we Built.. I do sub-base chassis so I literally build the frame with Cross members of the Semi Trailers. AKA the beginning of a semi-trailer. It's what the floors are drilled into its with the walls are attached to. I even put on the crash plates at the Mansfield bars are attached to as well as the Slide rails. We call the Semi Trailers the tandems we call a bogey. So if you look for the KTM manufacturing plate within the Last 5 years Im there..

[@bradleyrhodes2820]

25:57 right as you pull in you can see the trailer you grabbed lol. it was the next to last one. Which means someone moved yours and the knight trailer leaving that one on the end. Damn That sucks.

[@LetsDIYIt]

I thought for sure, after reading the video title, that the first trailer you picked up was going to be the wrong one. Man what an unfortunate coincidence that they dropped the same company trailer in place of yours, starting with the same trailer numbers. It's easy to see how that mistake happened, after a 20 hour day especially. Don't beat yourself up, sh1t happens and this was a really easy mistake to happen given all the circumstances

[@sharonthetrucker2297]

Getting called to the terminal is like getting called to the principal's office..lol...i have made so many " one time only" mistakes in trucking but learn fast not to repeat..

[@KingTX2K]

We make bad mistakes all the time but the end of the day it’s fine

[@MythLeatherCo]

Ole Dave pulling an ancient Werner trailer. 😂

[@Cowboy_145]

dave, don't feel bad, my dad did the same thing a few years ago.... but he was a lease op, pulled the wrong trailer from Waterloo, IA John Deere works to Perry, OK 30yrs on the job and did this.... trailer he needed was beside the one he grabbed

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

Navajo driver here: First time & only time thus far, I've driven the wrong trailer was from Shaw Industries distribution yard in Denver. It was supposed to be an empty because I'm going 6 hours (physically 5 hours but we leave mountain time zone to central time zone) ...away to Liberal, KS to National Beef. With that load going to Charlotte NC. My home city. I kept saying to myself as soon as I'm on the interstate like this feels loaded. I pull off to the shoulder and sure enough the trailer number was off by one digit at the end. My eyes scanned, but evidently stopped before the last digit. Luckily I had only driven about 30 minutes out on E I-70 and didn't get all the way to National Beef with a trailer full of carpets. Lol! 🤭😉

[@robocop308]

man .. I hope you don't get fired.. that sucks though.. it is a hard lesson.. but at least it was a lesson learned :)

[@RidingWithDave]

They were fine with it. Think if I did something like that often I might be at risk but I’m still here lol

[@JohnHallgren]

@@RidingWithDave and weren’t the first three digits of the trailer number the same on both? 161xx? Which, if so, made it even more unlikely to be noticed.

[@freightdog611]

Stuff happens, Dave. A valuable lesson was learned, so just shake it off and move forward.

[@alswearengen0000]

That's a bummer Dave. I guess even Ol' Dave learned a new trick. O Well. Shiat Happens Bud

[@rohitsaproo9518]

Hey Dave god bless you mate lots of love from India

[@thekrls1]

I’m confident I would have done the same exact thing. Saw the same company trailer with the similar numbers dropped in the same spot I dropped the original trailer in, not expecting anybody to touch my trailer..

[@GodSaveTheUnitedStates]

Hey Dave, huge fan. CFI called me about coming to work for them and i used your name as the referral. The guy i spoke to was really nice and said your vlogs are great! He might be in the comments somewhere lol. Anyway, thanks for being the inspiration i needed to bite the bullet and start putting out feelers. If you have a second could you tell me what you think about PAM and Stevens Transport? Those are two other companies I'm looking at. Thanks man, peace!

[@chrisparker1267]

God i am so glad to be local now on a dedicated route. I feel for you Dave.

[@dondavi5798]

Same. Fuel haul home every day. Never have to do the empty egg hunt again nor goofy routing from dispatch.

[@coffee838]

you must not love driving sounds boring

[@kennethmatthew967]

We truckers are all brothers who's blood is bonded by diesel. I once had a shipper give me the wrong trailer and I only verified the trailer number but not the destination because I didn't really think it was possible for a shipper to give me a wrong trailer. It was very confusing that they put the wrong trailer on the BOL but I was supposedly supposed to have an entire different shipment/BOL. I even told them where I was going and just assumed they had the intelligence to give correct shipment based on destination. So many unexpected unintentional traps to watch out for in trucking makes my head spin till my neck breaks.

[@gord2358]

Jeez man; you're going to blow a gasket looking for your trailer.

[@MRNO2]

New Fear Unlocked. Thanks Dave 👍

[@johnhanson4795]

i drove in the midwest so in winter we ran the button snap on covers in front in winter but our feet would freeze so i would take blankets and shove them in front of brake and accerlater pedal.heater was working but never helped your feet your toes froze

[@ItchyBrain2023]

I get how you feel, yes, you should have checked the number but mistakes happen, we're only human. On the flip side of that, who ever moved your tailor should have said " Hey I moved it over blah blah " or they should have checked it as well! don't beat yourself up over it man, it happens, Drive safe!

[@kevinconmy3625]

I did that once.I worked for RPS pulling double pups.Under strained relations with the contractor I worked for.I pulled one right one.I think the other was empty.But one wrong trailer from Buffalo,NY to Columbus,Oh.The contractor I worked for had to run the right trailer down there that night.He was supper to do pick up/delivery the next day with the one truck.I nearly got fired but we worked it out...

Trucking can be unpredictable sometimes. But that's Trucking. Nice video

[@tomrubis5001]

Amazing coincidence - the saga of the "where did it go" Ormsby trailer. Something as unique as a trailer having the aluminum fairings sitting in the same spot you dropped yours at, but being a few numbers off. I wonder where the original 16103 trailer went - hmm.

[@900108Chale]

The Aluminum Skirt Curse hit again… they’re conspiring against whomever dislikes their look.

[@Viniter]

That's the same exact trailer down to the aluminum skirt, 7 numbers apart. What are the chances of that?

[@tjdayoungin8775]

The first time You Backed In The Trailer Yard In The Beginning Dave You Swung Her Right On In Dare Good Shit💪🏽‼️ Truck trucker lol🤣 I thought it was be backing up an we know people gonna hate you got a automatic but I bet they can’t back better than that a lot of space or no‼️

[@agentpiggywig7757]

Dave you should come up here to mountain city one of these days❤

[@ItzzOzzyy]

you aren't the first person and surely won't be the last to make that mistake, dave. Stay safe

[@5iFTYHFaviation_addict]

Someone did that on purpose, because why move your trailer and replace it with an identical one, and where did they move your trailer to, for what reason?

[@TheTrainWatch]

I feel like if the company is having you show up at service 30 minutes before the end of your clock, they should be paying for a local hotel so that you can get your proper rest and come back the next day to pick up your truck when you are rested and maybe avoid this.

[@jdawg2791]

oh man Dave that sucks I can somewhat relate once you backed into that spot I'm like: bet this is where his mistake happened yea man we all make big mistakes when I was a leader at Safeway yrs ago a few times the drivers would hand me paperwork but it was for another store idk how they screwed that up so what we ended up doing was calling the other store make plans with them I'd be like OK I'll be there in 20 minutes I'd load up our supplies into my vehicle (of course give them their order first) and go back to my store and several times the drivers would be like sorry Matt here's half our pay since you physically put their load of stuff in your car then went back for your stores correct stuff I'm like nah Don't worry about it just please pay attention to the store # on the paperwork my store is 797 ok thx !!

[@tommyhawk92]

thats an unlucky mistake, the real question should be did the other trailer have the metal skirts after making a big deal about them haha
