Charlie is one of those people you can call a proper friend when the time comes.

[@george8873]

Seems like someone you can call if you have a body to hide, lol. Kidding aside, we all need a great friend or two like Charlie.

"I ran out of hours & threw the log book out the window" HAHAHAHA. Way to go Charlie. 😂😂

[@CLEARVIEW666]

when you start forgetting chunks of time on the road it's best to reference your log, but in this case i bet chris never stopped talking so i doubt charlie got much sleep behind the wheel anyway lol.

Yea instead of actually following the law and keeping his driving hours legal. Real nice. Then people wonder why folks have bad opinions of truckers. Cause too often they do stupid stuff like that, end up tired and take the chance of killing someone. For what? To save a motel bill? Bad decision. Even worse decision to then show it on KZbin.

Charlie is a real warrior to have accomplished this. No complaints at all from him; 17 hours to and from Pennsylvania, one night stop over and off to South Carolina. Good planning, scales closed and no hiccups. Congratulations Chris!

I’m basically a City Slicker and My Friend was a Dairy Farmer. He bought Five Cows but had no way to get them back to his Farm, so he rang Me whilst I was at home, sick in bed and asked Me to collect his Cows and transport them to a Friend’s Farm. So there I was in a Cattle Yard, at just Past Midnight, on a Moonless Overcast Night, unloading (or was that loading) Cows, on the Farm of someone who didn’t know Me from Adam and wasn’t expecting Me, when suddenly I’m surrounded by Armed Angry Farmers, Demanding Answers. Fortunately My Story was Believable and they knew of Me by My Nickname.

[@TonyGeneseo]

I’d say that’s a huge shoutout to your uncle John. Almost like you and he have gotten the right brands dialed in for each piece of equipment and you’re getting the same for your own stuff. Don’t know the particulars of your situation with your uncle and the family business but I think it’s safe to say that you’ve both grown and learned together over the years and hundreds of videos ! Others take note : excavators = Volvo. Mini excavator = Yanmar. Skid steer = Takeuchi. Dozer = Komatsu. Just so ya know I’m paying attention ! Lmao. Congratulations Chris !! Nice toy ! Lol
