If anybody from Crete watching it’s evident how studious Kevin is towards his job perhaps you could reward them with a truck that has a bigger inverter so at least they could boil some water

[@donnadickey5420]

This is a great way to advocate for them. Way to go. 🤩

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks Allen!!!

[@Redwine5]

Yep they need to mark the lanes to let drivers know what ones to use

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yup! We were lucky no one was behind us.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY ON THE BALL CHECKING AND DOUBLE CHECKING YOUR PAPERWORK. IT SAVED YOU A LOT OF GRIEF BY TAKING THE EXTRA TIME TO WORK THINGS OUT WITH YOUR DMS. JUST TO SHOW THAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO BEING SUCCESSFUL IN THIS BUSINESS. GREAT JOB KEVIN!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thank you so much!!!

I hauled cars for 35 years 35 years never bumped a dock in my life but crete sure makes it easy with all your drop and hooks be safe

Wow! What a career!! Sadly right now Kevin has more live loads than drop and hook. 😣😣😣

[@dangregg3189]

You are a Credit to your profession. A Tanja you do a great job as well filming the trip and making me laugh. I thank you for that. Y'all are always such a joy to watch.

[@berhorst59]

Unilever in Edwardsville used to have a scale on outbound side before you got to the gate. If overweight, they sent you back to a dock to have it corrected. Wouldn't let you leave overweight. Depended on which guard was on duty if you could get axle weights. Some would, some refused

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Hmmmmm. Didn’t see a scale. Did we miss it??

[@jamesdixon7644]

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

[@rick9028]

We would like to see how you manage meals or cooking in the truck

[@michaeldavenport5034]

Sure, let's have a place where there's a lot of truck traffic, but not have the lanes marked on which ones you want the trucks to use. Makes perfect sense.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

🤣😂🤣😆😆😁

[@ArthurReedme]

Yall make Me miss Crete alot 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 I used to drive on the reefer end going almost everywhere across country Shaffer main places where they had loads like crazy was california and Illinois.one of the best companies I driven for in my 6yrs driving I just got sick and my vision started to decline on me so I am out of commission for now but I've dealt with wrong seal numbers before but they was fast with mine the ppl in the office just ripped that BOL and started a new one with the right seal LOL...thank u both for taking us along with u I'm happy to witness your journey and I am a new SUB 😁😁

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Welcome Arthur!! Thanks for subscribing to our channel! We are happy to have you along, riding with your favorite company!! Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your eyesight!

You forgot to put tandems to the rear Unilever.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

If there’s a sign or they ask, he generally does. 🤔

[@markpage533]

@@TheJoyofTrucking The lady you spoke to did mention the tandems on the speaker.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

@@markpage533 Rewatched the video and Kevin was reading the sign. “Slide tandems to 5 holes from back once you turn engine on.” But then it also said 15 seconds to get through the gate. So he hurried up. And…it does look like he then forgot to adjust tandems. Luckily he normally does it. But good catch on your part.

It happens sometimes with t-calls. something wrong with the software I guess. Our Asset manager, Rodger, was aware of this and called us to make sure we did it...

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@rickyhawkins7407]

I had a load that had ta seal number on the BOL, but the seal wasn’t on the trailer doors. Went to the guard post and advised them, he told to just go ahead and leave. I said nope. Then he wanted me to open the trailer and look for the seal on the floor, again I responded, no. Finally after a few minutes he exited the building with a seal in his hand, different number than on my BOL. Made him send the BOL back to the shipping office and have it updated. Took me 30 extra minutes to get their mistake corrected.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Good thing you persisted!!!

[@douglashanlon1975]

You can ask them to let you video him telling you it's ok to leave...that usually solves their reluctance to do their job

[@Bendigo1]

I think that happens when plans get changed and the sequence isn't set up right by whoever puts it in the system or if things are mixed up.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

[@SaltyOldSailor70]

Unilever? Lol. Ask them why they discontinued the choco taco. Lol.

[@paulshields2220]

Crete wants every loaded trailer scaled out no matter the weight. I pull finished paper products and weigh 10k to 15k and every load is scaled. If you think your load shifted rescale. If you’re legal but want to adjust your tandems scale again

[@curtis7599]

If you give another truck driver a ride, then Crete wants you to weigh again.

[@caryntemplar6801]

Pickup a trailer with two seals & they matched the BoL but note said delivery didn’t want seals only 2 padlocks. Warehouse wanted seals, driver had to pull seals and document 🔐 number’s on BoL. So much work for the drivers 🥱. Be safe!

Weigh almost any load !!!!! As long as the company pays for it..14 years ago I had a 20000# load of office max..pulled into scale..guess what .500# over on tandems ..come to find out they had all fluff in the nose and 8 skids of paper on the rear..learned a very very valuable lesson...do not trust pre loaded trailers!!!!!!!!!

Wasn’t fair to say it was the worst. There are other systems out there that I haven’t used but so far People net isn’t up to speed.

cant figure out why some of you drivers when u crank the landing gear down you just dont let a few inches off ground and drop air bags instead like i saw you lower to ground and give 3 or 4 more cranks this makes it hard on next driver when he or she pu the trailer when its loaded with 40.000 plus no disrespect i just cant figure what the reason is some of you do this i pu a number of trailer where driver crank the landing gear too far and iam having to crank in low gear forever its always better to leave about 3 to 4 inches off ground and drop airbags
