I made it on daves video woot!! ( im that other CFI, tractor 51424) and met up with him today at waco Tx lol @dave was a pleasure to meet you bro and thanks for the props. I got routed to baton rouge for fuel aswell lol. Yes to any wondering that turn had my hair raised too.

[@lsusuperfan1653]

I think I saw you in Baton Rouge

[@OSheaShenanigans]

That was a nice back up then turn....almost hit that pole....but didnt! Well done.

[@TruckerAvocado]

I would have done the exact same thing lmfao

[@lsusuperfan1653]

@@TruckerAvocado I love your channel

[@Trig_master07]

Do the CFI truck drives have similar trucks, or do they have their own?

[@thecopgamer2347]

Lmao Dave never lies when he says this episode is going to be good

[@6PyramideHead6]

they're always good :D

[@redwoodoriginal]

Its always nice to have front row seats

[@jovanbrooks4548]

“Throw me something mr”, one sec later, “I asked him to throw me soemthung mr” I love watching dave

[@jimpritchard3816]

This video reminded me of so many times when I would have to deliver in a crazy place and the relief you feel once you get back on the big road. This was a great one and I read you met the other driver. Parades and small world, what else could us viewers ask for! Nice driving Dave!

[@gamerone996]

Looks like this is gonna be another good one.

[@headlightstheperson4596]

Hey Dave! You posted at just the right time. I’m playing American Truck Simulator, so now I get to listen to you talking and play the game! Love your videos man!

[@Weird_Cat_Thingy]

@@williamweck7087 Logitech G29/G920 or Logitech G923 are good entry level wheels, $400 and make about 2 or 3 foot pounds of torque, you'll have to do extra tweaking with the G923 though because of the vibration effects on crests, dips, and speed bumps

[@ItchyBrain2023]

i started watching your vids aftr it was suggested to me from watching truck accidents, i love your commentary, and this is coming from an Aussie

[@huntercurry]

Lol This takes the phrase "waiting on a parade" to a whole new level 🤣🤣🤣🤣 how many of us say that while we're stuck it traffic? Lol

[@tj1lincoln182]

Lol Dave had a front row seat should of joined in 😂😂 just imagine your watching the parade expecting floats and stuff and just see a cfi drive by 😂😂😂

[@lunapetunia3778]

Stop laughing 😝🙂🐣

[@Barry_Harberson]

They actually have Truck Parades in New Orleans. Flatbed with railing full of people throwing stuff to the crowd.. 😋

[@vitocorleone2517]

Had so much anxiety when the other CFI was turning right to leave

[@darklegionaire6512]

U and me both vito granted i was the other driver 😂

[@mutated__donkey5840]

Got stuck at a parade waiting to back in? *THAT'S TRUCKIN, DAVE!*

[@randomvideosyt5955]

This is by far my favorite trucking vlog 😆

[@roddydiaz1090]

Your positivity is infectious, love your vids brother. Also, Nola is my favorite city. You drove past a few spots I grew up around.

[@GreenHornTrucker]

My favorite parts are always Dave: "I don't know if I can (insert challenge)". The rest of us "Yeah you can Dave, you have done tighter". Dave: *Does it* "GOLLLLY Boys, I didn't think I could do it!" Me: "*smiles* "I knew you could, Man!"

[@RidingWithDave]

LOL

[@scottreed5460]

That’s so funny you sat n waited to back in, Rockies, I love it.. you’re a fun kid...!!!

[@IntoItDesigns]

I posted this on an older video earlier but wanted to post here to you are the reason I am working on getting my CDL and made me realize that this is the career I was meant to be doing I am 21 and have struggled with career choices but I feel a calling to trucking and couldn't be more grateful for your videos< keep it up!

[@tmo.48]

Congratulations 👍

[@Budgeman83030]

I lived in New Orleans back in the early ‘90s. Nice to see it again

[@Gorillaty654]

Going on that bridge, it feels like your on therefor an hour, but keep up the good work.

[@doskraut]

Dude, back in my day drivers were bitching about the new 53 ft trailers. Everyone said the state is designed around 48 ft trailers, you are seeing the problems with a 53 ft.

[@brandonbattle4874]

Yep, and they trying to convince the government and the industry to increase it 57ft.

[@Aaron-pq3xj]

Got my cdl yesterday Dave. Everytime I see a CFI i look for the duck lol

[@tmo.48]

Congratulations 👍

[@OSheaShenanigans]

Glad my fellow brother in blue from the NOPD was cool with ya. He probably deals with that intersection of trucks / cars / mardi gras floats all the time and is used to it. Kind of like how us NYPD are used to Yankees Canyon of Heroes parades, Macy's Thanksgiving parade, Times Square New Year's Eve, Madison Square Garden..etc. LOL

[@robdotcom71]

You'd love the Sydney Mardi Gras there Dave.... lol

[@tonyh.5827]

Dave, gotta hand it to ya, you are absolutely an inspiration-! You always try and see the positive side of things no matter what the circumstances may be. Also, you are a dang good driver for a first year trucker-! I've seen you do some backing that would stifle many veteran drivers...including myself...LoL. Keep up the good work. Tony (11 years OTR)

[@Millennial_Republic]

I’m heading through that way tomorrow. Heading to the Laredo terminal for a drop and hook and then a 34 reset.

[@tnjbadboy000]

That city messes with me every time. Getting in is easy but back to the interstate kills me every time .

[@johnwalker1848]

Dave that was me to your left in the video. I was the NOPD Motorcycle cop at that light lol. Damn I saw the CFI truck, but thought the odds it would be you would be slim to none. Damn! Next time your in town I’ll make sure you get better treatment lol

[@darklegionaire6512]

Appreciate that john

looks like the video started on 10 west towards Mobile. That's my old neck of the woods. I enjoy your vidoes...keep em coming.

[@druhuggins8767]

It is nice to hear a driver that actually knows how to trip plan and not just "wing it". Utilizing the internet, common sense, and other drivers advise you sir will do well in all you do. Stay safe and keep the shiny side up!

Great showing for CFI getting it done!! I wasn't too surprised nola was a cluster. It is as a normal car, i can't imagine as a truck

Another good VId Dave im gonna be starting with CFI here soon Safe travels

[@llarrswind]

I feel your pain Dave, I once had to bring in an oversize load down to Poydras and Convention Center blvd, to that new Four Seasons. It was awful.

[@ladyb1777]

Yassss, I had to do the convention center in Chicago. They had a machine show and I had to bring a machine inside of the building. Piece of cake inside the building, then came the exit.... the mirror on the drivers side was almost touching the wall while trying to keep the passenger side of the trailer tires off the other wall.... 🤦🏽‍♀️ paid good tho 😂

[@Problem-mattic]

More people need to watch this guy. Seems like nobody gives trucks their space.

[@RTOutdoors]

Always a great feeling to get back on the interstate after playing in the city.

First thing I do as soon as I click on your videos; is click on the like button.

[@eszyx8062]

I think this is my favorite video of you. Also because the docking was so hard!

Waiting for parade to pass- Dave's luck. My luck- waiting on city sanitation crews to finish clean up... awesome video, brother!

[@krismw1974]

Dave for a minute I thought I was watching a video of me in truck driving school leading a parade of traffic but I didn't see anyone giving the "1 Finger Trucker Wave" so can't be one of my many parades! LOL

[@tonycorradi9107]

Everytime I've drove past there, I always wondered how yall got in and out of that dock. Now I know

[@redgingerbreadpam]

Only in South Louisiana 🥴🤣😂🤣 And yes I'm from SW Louisiana aka Cajun country Throw me something mister laissez le bon ton roulet (let the good times roll) Great navigation job Dave! That's exactly how I navigate...before I get to a location. One time...in SW Louisiana...had to have LEO stop traffic in order for us to back in. It was pouring rain & it was on a very tiny but super busy road. Fun times. Stay safe out there Dave.

[@ghost_Lennon]

hell yeah! front row seats😅 good job man👌🏻

[@MFdestroyer]

This is so funny 😁😁 But I was scared it is so hard to back in little lanes. Dave is always having fun and enjoys every moment 🙂✌ Adjust and try to find joy in every moment. Difficult situations also gets easy sometimes 😎❤🤠 Love watching your videos Dave😇 Stay Blessed brother 🙏

That’s the day they were bringing those floats to city park. Floats in the oaks.....Mardi Gras shut down this year, but you can view the floats in the park.

[@xxwildliferescuerxx4412]

Idea: What about for a special video you put a 360 cam in the passager seat so we can really be "riding with dave"?

[@chrisr.6152]

I grew up in New Orleans, I have had many times I’ve been caught by float convoys many times

Man you gotta post on social when you going to different places man. Would have loved to pass by there and waved at you man. Depending on what day this was I was working about 1000 yards away from this.

You sleep good after day's like those, reminds me when I made a delivery in the Bronx for the first time.

[@darklegionaire6512]

Thoes loads take years off your life going into new york city lol

[@miajoe4259]

Backing into an inside dock, take a flashlight and place on dock above the rubber bumper, you then can see where trailer has to be

[@coinman1972]

Lol. That u-turn was sketch, Dave.

[@toma_hawk973]

The cop that told you to wait probably thought you were the other CFI that was trying to leave. If he knew you just needed a quick adjustment and you'd clear the road, he probably would have let you go.

[@tmo.48]

I’d have just gone anyways 👍

[@ginnyroy241]

When i worked for Werner, I picked up at an art gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio, it was on a one way street' of course it was backwards, but I couldn't find the docks so I called them, all of a sudden the wall on the building started sliding, they had one inside dock barely wide enough to back into, smack dab in the middle of the city, they actually call the police to block the street so trucks can back in sight side, very very tight spot.
