People conducting "business" at stop light made me angry. Trucking Life.

[@watermelonbleach]

Why do people try and sell things to drivers at stop lights then just have a conversation while its green. Thanks for the video Dave

[@havok9001]

he sure blast the airhorn & have the P.A system to tell them move or lose it & get off the road things

[@msbeachgirl]

You had me cracking up this video 😂😂 That lady was "selling" something at the light! 😂 Waco has messed up roads...that's why I always let my mom drive when I visit her...lol Glad you had a great vacation...enjoyed the scenes from New Orleans! Thanks for another great video!

@@WhiteLineFever1999 which company did you go with. I’m still looking for the right fit

The thing that helps me if you want to try it line your doors on your trailer up with the lines on the concrete if you can see them or if they have some sort of a reflector under the pads of the doors your doors on the outside doors of the trailer will line up almost perfectly everytime

Quick fact ; Truckers in Europe normally flash you when you're passing them,letting you know you can safely merge

[@Trucking_Tom]

Haha yep fun fact I have to do that for trucks in my asda van as its limited to 56 🤣😴

[@fredashay]

Everyone used to do that in America, too. Even a lot of 4-wheelers would flash at the trucks to let them merge in front. But nobody does it any more. Trucks don't even do it for each other now except for the old guys.

Memphis used to be a wonderful city, so run down now. Sad. Word of advice (I'm sure you know) stay at the terminal in west Memphis. don't stay anywhere in town, difficult turns into the truck stops. Also not safe, it was like the Indy 500 that night at the Petro. Also like the infield too, like a block party.

5 hours to unload a 53' trailer is insane

[@RustburgMike]

Must not have been on pallets.

[@taylorindebt]

Yep definitely a floor load

[@martinjuulandersen9694]

Not really. If its small boxes and floorloaded and no more than 3-4 people it Sound about right for a fully loaded 53’

[@basketballryan1]

I guess it depends on what the unload rate is at the receiver, but shipping companies (FedEx in my experience) would laugh at you if you tell them it takes more than 2 hours to unload a 53 regardless of what’s inside of it or if it’s floor loaded.

[@depth4676]

you actually can turn left on a red if it's a one way

[@JohnHallgren]

Correct! If the road you’re turning onto is one way heading to your left, it’s equivalent to right on red.

[@racinglengend07_76]

My dad when he drove for clark, he was up in Pennsylvania, while at a stop light about to get on the highway some guy jumps on his truck and asks if he has about 5 bucks. On his reply he said no, as he went to get on the highway, the dude is still on the truck at 15 mph, the guy said, "cmon man I need money man please", my dad proceeds to reply with, "this is your time to jump dude", at this time the truck proceeds on the on ramp by 40-50 mph, may I remind you, dude is still on the side, hanging on for dear life. With his final words on the side of the truck being "cmon man I know you got those 5 bucks", and my dad replies with, "dude your about to get on the highway, when I get on the highway I aint stopping, so you better jump". As he gets up to 60, dude finally jumps.

[@matth8278]

You have yourself to blame for them taking so long at that light. lol. You should have used the air horn right when the light turned green.

[@chandana11]

That's illegal to sell or do anything at traffic lights. And it makes sense.

[@apolloniaaskew9487]

Holmes Rd is close to the Mississippi state line. Whenever you're in Hickory Hill (aka Hickory Hood), especially at night, be careful. Unfortunately, Memphis drivers are considered the worst; compared to NYC and New Jersey. Do NOT give these guys at the intersection a handout. They make more money in one day than you do. Just check out the new tennis shoes they wear.

For 17:59, the law in Texas is that turning left on red in that situation is permitted, following the same rules as right on red. Sec. 544.007 "(d) An operator of a vehicle facing only a steady red signal shall stop at a clearly marked stop line. In the absence of a stop line, the operator shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. ....... the operator may: (1) turn right; or (2) turn left, if the intersecting streets are both one-way streets and a left turn is permissible."
