My First Back In The Volvo Was A Tight One! Trucking Life.

[@KyleHaines615]

We just not gonna talk about how Dave dropped his camera out the window? 😂

[@ajidamarjati]

he's done it several times already 😂

[@jimmypappas9780]

Wait where was this I did not realize lol

[@ozcavalier]

If we don't talk about it, it never happened... 🤣

[@Theredneckmechanic69]

Well he's in Ohio what do you expect

[@apocyldoomer]

@@Theredneckmechanic69 The land of tolls and 55 MPH speed limits for rigs, at least it was like that in 1998 when I ran a dedicated run from Avenel New Germany, err, Jersey to Bourbon Indiana, we weren’t permitted to use ANY toll roads what a pain in the azz. They grow beautiful women in Indiana I tell you, woo woo!! Nothing but corn fields and hot broads!!!

[@SnowCat-ei6br]

Hey Dave just a tip. Those latches on your trailer that have that rectangular loop on them. You're meant to feed the long ovular chain link under them first before threading it over the vertical bar. That way it locks in and can't slip up and off. If you don't do that it's extremely easy for that style to pop off. There's even a little instructional diagram right above the latch.

[@robertgardner4508]

The nice thing about doing local/dedicated/regional home weekly routes, is you get used to your routes you learn where everything is, all the little spots to park at and eat. Also the engine brake signs don't apply to the quiet ones, so you're fine to use them. The best part too, is you learn and get to know all your customers, and once you start learning all the customers you know exactly where you are, how to tackle them, and how to handle the tight spaces.

[@robervin9107]

What a refreshing video Dave to come back to. So happy you have no idea lol. Hope Billie jo is having a easier time in her new job. You did magnificent Dave. The struggle the iconic lines the laughing Loved everything about this

[@SignificantOther840]

What happened

[@Commander_Dakota]

Dave is going to love the turning radius on the volvos way more then the Kenworth's makes those tight areas easier

[@RidingWithDave]

It’s amazing!

[@Fearagen]

Volvo is absolute king when it comes to the turning radius.

[@tubevideoguy762]

​@@RidingWithDaveDave certainly did repeat the word boys over and over at a point in this video....perhaps he's subconsciously interested in boys? lmfao🤣

[@CivilStig]

dang dude, that back was seriously impressive! great to have you back on KZbin man, your videos are great for a study break :)

[@Uniquelyyours1]

You did such a great job, Dave, you haven't lost your touch at all. Stay safe.

[@RidingWithDave]

Thanks crystal!

[@jamesm611]

@Riding with Dave dave your the best. So glad to see you back in a truck. Been watching you forever. All the way back to motorcycles. Be safe brother

[@mrrr407]

@@jamesm611 facts! I felt this comment specially the motorcycle part 😂

[@Fearagen]

You may notice the turning radius on the Volvo is better than your old T680, it'll make tight backs a bit easier, especially the one that was the wrong place.

[@brandonmezzell4921]

Damn good backing bro, you're a much better backer than you give yourself credit for. Glad your back man, seems like all my favorite trucking vloggers are quitting. So I'm glad you're back.

[@LukeGray-fs1sl]

back, back, and did i mention back?

[@apocyldoomer]

Good Job Dave, I had confidence in you, and you got her DONE!

[@ShinyVids]

I had to re-watch around 6:40 because I missed the clip transition and thought that was the smoothest thing ive ever seen.

[@Incharge7734]

That back was a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10. I drove local for a while and probably did about 20,000 backs. The first thousand are the hardest. After a while you'll get better. Backing is both an art and a science.

[@JoeKenda215]

18:03 it’s always something with every job you have in life. It’s always something with life in general!! Great video Dave!!

[@thebesttrucker1]

bet other truckers love it when you park at the truck stops with that backup beeper also welcome back

[@RidingWithDave]

I know I hate I have a backup beeper now 😂.

[@paulsteensma8249]

Glad your back trucking Dave. One tip on 90° backing. When doing your approach, keep your trailer tightet against the object your gonna back around. Example - the trailer at the receivers dock and the point on the street where their driveway & road met. Both backs you were tight up against objects on the right.( fence & curb ) keep that trailer over more to the left and you'll have more swing room for the tractor with less risk of hitting the fence or curb as in this video. More room = less stress. Just a tip. Keep on making the videos. There fun to watch!👍👊

[@davidpeters9343]

I'm glad to see you back Dave and I enjoyed the video alot and loved it and that was a perfect back u did too and that sucks that they told u that u had to drop at their other building after u done backed in. In that tight spot but anyway keep up the great work Dave much love to ya have a good one take care safe travels God bless and I will see ya on the next one brother catch ya later

[@barryklinedinst6233]

I wasn't sure I would see any more videos from you. Good to see your back. I hope this company is a good one. It's hard to find the right place to settle in.

[@freightlinercolumbiazacher1107]

So glad your back Dave you inspired me to finish school and get my CDL so you out there hopefully keep truckin 😄👍🏾

[@uanderleysanchez]

17:22 " THAT´S TRUCKING DAVE GET USED TO IT " love the videos boss

[@codycollins.2360]

Glad your back and nothing is easy anymore dave

[@trace1k478]

Easiest way to do that is swing your tractor IN to the open spots, swing back out and wrap your tractor to the LEFT hugging those cages and pallets, then do a 90 into the dock and it’ll leave room to straighten out. That avoids having to be so close to the right hand side. I delivered dollar general all over for a year without a day cab. Ran into every back there is lol. This was good tho. Alex the trucking guy would’ve parked his truck and had a stroke.

[@apocyldoomer]

There was a tighter dock than that at this dumpy joint in Vineland, New Germany,err, Jersey , that I could not back into to save my life, it was a blind side backing job, with just 1 dock with a trailer in the other door, it had a mud pit forward of the backing zone, you could see where rigs got stuck in the mud from previous attempts, I could only get the trailer half way in the door, but was only a few pallets and I had a pallet Jack on board, so they loaded the freight on the tail and loaded the rest onboard, not really a big deal. I was LTL in a day cab, i was embarrassed BUT I didn’t get stuck in the mud nor hit anything, I couldn’t imagine getting your sleep cab in there, it was insane, the only dock that I couldn’t back into correctly, ever. Happy trails driver.

[@bdriversims8230]

You sure haven't lost much at all. Love your backups...and your humor...Well done...

[@Suspiciousrock]

Welcome back Dave. Not a truck driver but enjoy your videos.

[@irmawans2140]

Glad to see you on the road again Dave

[@makeshiftlake3519]

Keep the videos coming! I’m getting my CDL because of your videos, I would love to drive a truck in the next 1-2 years. Thank you for all the content. I watch the CFI videos in my spare time to see all of the places you’ve been too. I have actually driven past the Joplin terminal before lol it looks pretty cool.

[@derikistheman8698]

Well brother I'm getting my CDL as well and I'm getting really close to getting it, right now I know what Dave is going through doing tight back ups, but in my case FedEx ground delivery driver, I drive step van p-700 that is really tricky in drive ways, but I'm about done with home delivery and going towards the trucking life see all there soon 😜

Very glad to see you back. Watched JBG Travels when you were off. I think my West Side Transport and Online are about the same in size and family friendly attitude.

[@HisAssholiness]

that's tons of room , try doin a spot like that in between to long nosed trucks already docked and then get back with us

[@chasedooley6237]

Nice backs Dave! My first three days at Tyson Foods, I had to street-back into a food donation place that was conveniently located off a small residential street with a lot of pedestrians walking around. And it had a tight 20-foot-wide gate. "We get trucks in here all the time!" Yeah, box trucks! That really tested my mettle, my audience kept saying "ain't no way!" but I got her in there. When in doubt, go long! Hope you're enjoying the Volvo, I quite like mine.

[@RidingWithDave]

Haha, gotta love the audiences during backs like that.

[@coreesanders3009]

So glad you are back !! Luv your videos!! Enjoy watching them !!

[@cptlatency428]

[@gsxgaming1975]

Hey Dave, when you're opening you're doors, the chain to hold it open, it goes under metal square bracket & goes in. Did it wrong once and my trailer door opened due to wind and slammed and suv. Love your videos dave. Just a friendly tip

[@SomethingEpic777]

Hey Dave. Glad to have you back!!! Love your trucking-vids! Got a couple questions for you (& any other truckers reading this): -If you couldnt be a trucker, what kinda work would you like to be doing? -As a kid, did you ever think you were going to be a trucker? -What advice do you have for someone about to enter the trucking-industry? -what does your tattoo (on your forearm) mean?

Welcome back Dave. Find the fuse or whatever it takes to silence that stupid reverse beeper. 😏

Put door handles of the trailer back where you found them when opening the doors, makes it easier and push the barn doors with shoulder while putting on the chain to secure.

Dave you were so close to my house lol and it's actually pronounced as "Sha-grin" love the video !

When you latch your door put the chain through the square metal loop. If you don't the door might come loose and close on your while backing up.

Its called a telescopic steering wheel Dave.When you get in the vehicle you get comfortable press the button on the steering column and pull the wheel towards you and set.When parking press the button on the column and push steering wheel away from you and exit vehicle.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doin

[@mackharris6536]

HELL YEA DAVE your pro at this tight backing dock ever

[@koloradob5807]

i've noticed these smaller companies have smaller shippers n' receivers

[@acnoll529]

If you push the pedal in just a little for steering wheel it will tilt the steering wheel and if you push it all the way down you can make it telescope out or in. The wheel should go up to the dash and be parallel with it. I'm 6'4 and I don't come close to the wheel when I get In or out Dave.

[@Random_Ritchie]

When getting in/out of the truck lower/raise the seat. That might help from hitting the steering wheel.

That’s like the oreilys dc in north Little Rock Arkansas, it’s a tight back. Luckily I had a a trainer and we went there so I can get a understanding of it. Then went back there in a t680 that don’t turn worth a crap. Go slow get out and look a million times, it’s better to be safe then hit something
