A Day In The Life Of A Truck Driver | Trucking At Night

[@socal87border]

Hey guys, I realize that the audio while Shelby was driving wasn't the best... I had it figured out in the last truck she drove, but I guess her current truck is a little louder in the cab so my mic picked up more background noise. I'm working towards a fix on this issue. Whether it be purchasing a LAV mic or something else, I will get it figured out. Thank you for the support, and thank you for your patience with my screw ups.

[@VeliusCoba]

For the record, I can hardly notice it, and I am a headphone user. It's still a great video either way imo.

[@TheFlyingBusman]

You do pretty good job out there Mike so don’t get too unsettled by it. Enjoy the ride. I would love to be where you are and enjoying the adventure. That said, I don’t make the best of passengers, I’m a wheel guy and always happiest driving. Go steady.

[@holidayfinn]

When you’re recording in a moving truck I would anticipate background noise. Still a great another great video! When you come with a solution, let us know. Thanks!

[@tyty489]

I personally come from a trucking family and think the subtle noise brings in authenticity and makes it feel like you are there more than it being a silent cab

Just one tip that I received when first starting out- don’t ever take a nap in the left seat. Your body will later remember, and think it’s okay. Get in the right seat or the bunk.

That’s true. Plus I’ve also heard that if a cop saw you it could mean a ticket.

Why NOT? I don't understand lol.

So, how come the roads are so narrow in Ontario, compared to same lanes in Michigan. Its amazing, all that vast land, but its like the roads and highways are deliberately annoyingly, and probably unsafely too narrow.

I drive at night for my job, and I always wear glasses with anti-glare protection.

I'm not a truck driver but I've worked overnights for over 20 years. On of the reasons for the difficulties in sleeping during the day is your body is fighting against you. The other problem is if you have any deficiencies in vitamins in your diet that will also cause the sleep restlessness. Struggle to balance it is insane.

Getting older "night vision" ain't what it used to be.

Love everything about your channel Shelby please keep up the good work and tell us your opinion of the comfort of the Western Star 5700XE especially compared to the P4 Cascadia. They have the same engine, transmission, axles and wheels but as so different inside they must have some differences in comfort.

When I was in the army my section had 3 humvees all with trailers. Before the army, I rarely drove and never with a trailer. But we practice backing up between cones until we got the hang of it. It is counter intuitive because you have to turn the steering wheel the other way at first.

Honestly I travel a lot due to military life and when I’m finally able to go home I drive... and it’s a 27+ hr drive so I mainly sleep in front of gas stations that are well lit ... however there’s hardly gas stations open at 11-4 at night so due to that I have to stop at rest areas and I always feel safer when a lot of truckers are near by, a lot of my family members drive big rigs and I do too (military style) so I have so much respect for y’all! Not to mention I had a trucker help me at a rest stop (kinda creeped me out at first) but he saved me from danger and when the bad people left he explained why he stopped me before I went into the bathroom and made up the story of my tail lights being out. So much respect to y’all and you definitely inspire me to be a trucker if I can get more information on how to start it.

I had been watching and still am IB Trucking Girl videos. Iwona has been a heavy haul trucker for around 9 years for TAG in Europe. She hauls the giant windmill blades and rotors and some other outsized stuff. She has subtitles and occasionally speaks English. She is Polish, has driven the Ice Road and Oilfields of Canada for a year because she says she always wanted to do that. She repairs her truck and trailer, cooks in the truck, drives in the convoy, has a trailer that she steers with a remote control (Goldhofer), was a high school teacher, a Miss Poland contestant but loves the freedom of the road. She's also very good with videos and has many of them. She may be the most popular driver in the world right now BUT, the personality of Shelby is over the top. Skilled with common sense and very attractive. Soothing and enjoyable to watch with a GREAT camera man. As far as I'm concerned, her personality wins the day and combined with the camera man and her dog, I feel she is the new "force" in trucking videos.

Hi Shelby I love this ! I am an English girl living in France, I went to University to study cinema and then spent 10 years waitressing, before deciding to become a truck driver and I am absolutely loving it ! I have never had a double trailer but am so impressed that you can back a trailer with a dolly ! I am currently working 14 to 16 hour night shifts, which is actually illegal in Europe, but the company pays the fines, so I know what it's like to be exhausted ! I love watching you to see what trucking is like in the States. I would love you to make a video about truck regulations in the US ! We have pretty strict regulations in Europe, here are a few facts : - Our single trailer trucks are a maximum of 16.5m long (54.1 feet) and double trailer ones 18.75m (61.5 feet) - We can't drive above 90 km/h (56 mph) - We can drive 9 hours a day + 10 hours twice a week. We have to take a 45 min break after 4.5 hours of driving. - Working hours carn only be 12 hours long daytime and 10 hours long if there are night hours. - Day shifts cannot exceed a 15 hour range and night shifts 13 hours. - Our daily breaks can be 9 hours long three times a week and for the rest of the time they have to be 11 hours long. Also, I am not allowed to have an animal in my cabin, because I transport food, they consider it a hygiene risk.

I always drive at night when I'm pulling my Airstream. I work nights so I can be up all night no problem. Traffic is minimal and no one cutting me off or slamming on their brakes in front of me!!

Thank goodness for the truckers. Always, but especially now in this uncertain time in our lives. Stay safe out there.
