I think someone needs to give herself more credit when it comes to the videos! You're doing a fine job.

[@nooruddinshaikh2970]

Sister your always smiling or happy. Nice l pray four you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍Your Brother from Dubai.

[@Pyracantic]

I watch this channel strictly because a girl & her best friend doggo brings me pure happiness.

[@unicorn7337]

Same here. Life has been pretty crappy for me lately and watching videos from people like Shelby who have a positive attitude helps a lot. You should all check out Razorkittin as well, she's an awesome Swedish trucker and gamer who also has cute Doggos on board. 😊

[@SuperB1971]

Really? I watch it because she is hot! 😍 🥰

Name your truck happiness because it’s pure happiness watching your videos!

You should name it Venus. The brightest "star" in the Western sky.

[@postersm7141]

Once again, as a (male) 16 year veteran in the fire service, I love watching PEOPLE do What they do best . I watch your videos because you inspire me. I love driving big powerful trucks but more importantly I love the fact that you have the same passion and you are keeping the country up and running❤️. You and all the truck drivers out there totally rock! Thank you for posting, I really enjoy watching. It truly is inspiring!!!!

[@potooleftl]

Stay Safe out there - we appreciate what you do...

Truck looked like a boy to me.....had a friend named Melvin back in highschool.... Thought of him and thought that's the name I'd use....just use a name that brings good thoughts and memories back....Best wishes!

A competent, fit, well spoken attractive woman that gets the job done without a lot of drama that also loves her dog and the outdoors. What is not to love about her???? I've got to say that watching her smile as the scenery rolls by just doesn't get old.

Shelby, you do not make terrible videos. We all look forward to seeing you and Dakota, you're a breath of fresh air in sorry times. Your great personality always shines through.

[@dereksirduckin5973]

Love this channel, I used to work at FX. Home was Lenexa and KCMO. Kinda nice to see the same roads you're on. Truck names: Atlas - for boy, because you and other drivers are holding the weight of the world right now. Athena - for girl, the goddess of wisdom. Got to be smart to navigate the world. Keep up the hard work. I would watch anything you put out with zero judgement. Love your smile and Dakota! Looking forward to the next one! Stay safe.

[@JuanCarlosCastroMora]

I greet you with pleasure and missing you sharing your anecdotes on work trips with Dakota in his truck. Take care of the violence that has been known to all and I hope you have a nice trip with health and blessings wherever you are. We remember you with love !! 😘🐶😘

[@ericamae93]

your videos aren't terrible. I look forward to them so much. Starting to create a playlist with all the music from your videos because the music choice is fire.

[@6dledger]

This is all you!! That is why I enjoy it. Who cares if it is not perfect. This is you and Dakota on the job. Thank you!

You are just too much fun. Always smiling. Watching you is like taking a happy pill

[@Freez0084]

Shelby, your doing an outstanding job. I think your suggestions of making a good team driver video is a great idea. No suggestion for a truck name, sorry. Keep up all the hard work behind the wheel and in front of the camera!!!

[@Zsolti0NYM]

Hello dear Shelby. Thanks to a KZbin recommendation I found your channel on May 11. Since then I've watched every video in chronological order. I'm not a truck driver and I will never be one, but I love trucks since my childhood. I have to say I really enjoy your videos. They are not just very entertaining, but informative too. You're not just a kind, smart and cute young lady, but a true professional. I like your enthusiasm and attitude. It's obvious you indeed love your job. And you're very good in it. I'm Hungarian and I've never been in the United States. I really like the cool places, towns and rest areas you show us in your videos. Boy the truck stops are enormous in your country. Please keep up the fantastic job and I can't wait to see your new uploads. Your channel is already one of my biggest favourites here on KZbin. Good luck to you and BKM, I'm sure you'll be a great team. :) Plus there's Dakota if you need a little help.

[@nextspace2254]

You should give her a royal name like “Her Highway Highness “ or “The Highway Majesty” or “The Highway Princess “ or something.

[@ProtonChicken]

"Her Royal Highwayness"

[@lorensims4846]

My wife was a truck driver and I think of her when I watch you. She also loved German Shepherd Dogs and had one as a service dog in her last years. She was a California girl who had never much been east of the Rockies until after she met me.

[@andrew8604]

I was waiting for Dakota to try to go after your strawberries or sandwich. Thoroughly enjoyed your last video and this one. Great video, love scenery. Looking forward to more videos.

[@4-America]

Your videos are not terrible at all. I find your videos very calming and fun! Keep on doing you.I think that's why I like you so much! ♥️

[@pmichaelhayes]

The best part of my day was driving around with my best friend Ocho, my German Shepherd. The highlight of my day would be to stop at a trails between my appointments and go for a walk with him. He loved to trot along the trail and sniff everything! I lost him almost 2 months ago now. It has been so hard, but I am just so grateful for all the time we had. It makes me happy to see your pup and the joy and happiness she brings you. Dakota is such an amazing companion! German Shepherd's are so special. They have a love and intelligence that makes them such amazing companions. They are the most loyal, best friend you could ever ask for. I don't mean to be a Debby downer, just trying to express how special it is to have that friendship you two have. And fret not, in a few weeks I will get to meet my new buddy, and I can't wait. I will always hold Ocho, my best buddy close to my heart along with the other friends and family I have lost. But I would never trade this pain I feel for one second of the time I had with him. Sorry to be so long winded, thank you for the wonderful videos. Loved the "Cute puppy edition."

[@fathead22146]

You definetely give truck driving a fresh face. Go on. 😊👍 Cheers from Australia.

[@aricrbell]

Yes please make the video on what makes a good team driver. Had problems before teammate would NOT shower or stop for showering.

[@jaydavee]

if they don't want to shower, they can use isopropyl alcohol in a sprayer bottle on the smelly parts. Spray it on, rub it in, don't breathe it. For the butt... a tablespoon of psyllium fiber or Metamucil every 12 hours sure does help.

[@dalmomucheroni2523]

Your videos are not terrible, instead, they are of excellent quality, you are doing it right, congratulations, stay safe

[@shakarussanders9911]

I used to be a Carrier I loved being on the road! Earlier morning road trips were the best! And you mentioned Ft Worth! My hometown!😄

[@remythemaltipoo]

It must be so very refreshing and life affirming to be able to share your driving experiences with the world the way you do. Your reflections on the simple joys of being able to feel the earth under you at pretty rest stops resonated with me. Anyone who has spent long hours at the wheel can surely identify. Love your videos, you give hope to all of us.

Your videos are great. You don't need a camera person. Love the way Dakota gets to get you to stop for a play/pottie break. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

[@huggybear551]

When I first started driving I was required to team drive. My first team mate was pretty decent. He was a fairly safe driver, and we got along well. But my second team driver was a totally different story! We picked up a load in Rolla, Missouri late one afternoon going to Dallas. It was his turn to drive, so I went to bed. About an hour later he pulled to the side of the road and woke me up. Turns out that instead of taking the most direct route to Dallas he had decided that he wanted to stop in Little Rock to see his girlfriend. So he took off down hwy. 65 thru Arkansas. If you've ever been down that way you know how hilly and curvy that 2-lane hwy (back then) was. He woke me up because he was too afraid to drive it at night! I put him out in Little Rock, called the company to let them know what happened and never saw or heard from him again. That was my last time to drive team.

Shelby, I'm a newer sub to your channel, but I love your positive attitude and commitment to the truck driving industry 👍 😉. I work in real estate and we overnight documents with FedEx all of the time, so I feel a bit more grateful knowing someone in the company who takes pride in what they do as much as I do at my job. Thank you for all you do. I also would love to hear more about team driving. I'm not familiar with long haul trucking procedure, so I would love to hear all about it! 😊 Dakota is such a well mannered dog in and out of your rig. I love your "raw" filmed videos. KZbin was created so lovely people like yourself could share a bit of yourself with the world - flaws and all ♥️ I for one love every minute of it.😉 Greetings from California.

I used to install a air hose hook up on one of the air tanks on my truck and then carried a 10' length of air hose with a nozzle handle on the end. When truck got a bit dirty inside, no brush and dust pan but rather a nice flow of air and direct the dirt out of either door. Works great on pet hair BTW :) #TakeCare You're doing great!!

I like watching your great attitude because I know the tools of open road. I am a truck driving drop out. I tried trucking twice. My first trainer was a suicide jockey. He loved to tailgate and when we went through Salt Lake he was driving so close I could not see the license plate of the car in front of us doing 70mph with a flatbed full of I beams heading for the gold mines in Nevada. I got off his truck and catcher a bus home. By the time I got my second trainer I had forgotten so much from truck driving school that did not last long either. Glad to see not all truckers are neanderthals. Here is an idea for truck name. Since your name is Shelby how about Mustang Sally, Sally for short! Have a great day! I am pulling for ya!

[@hedjudd]

Truck name : “ Free Loader “ it epitomizes your lifestyle. You are free, and you hauling loads. Alternately it is currently your free (company owned) load hauler.
