STARTED TO DOUBT MY SKILLS

[@sonnygreen9698]

I’m getting to the point that I don’t “have to” get out and look on the major majority of my backs but I always do when I have even the slightest of question, IDGAF what people think or say or how big of a hurry they are in, listen to da man that’s preaching, it’s important peeps !!!

[@OTRBandit]

Better safe than sorry. If in doubt, get out and look. I’ve never hit anything thank God when backing in. I’ve been very close to hitting something but because I got out to look, I didn’t hit anything. Only takes few seconds extra but can save you allot of headache.

[@thirdeyeview1111]

Hey, I’m a retired grandma of 3, and yes, I enjoy watching your videos. I just love your authenticity, your humor and your “yappin’”😂 Stay safe out there. 😎❤️

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I really appreciate you watching.

[@nancyfuller4901]

Enjoyed rolling down the road with you on this one. I’m an RVer, pulling a small travel trailer solo. Your backing reminded me of some of the campsites with trees everywhere, etc. I’m recovering from spine surgery at the moment and miss the open road so loving your videos. Safe travels.

[@OTRBandit]

Hopefully you recover soon and hit the road again. Some places can get very crazy as far as backing goes but patience always works. Slow and steady wins the race. Thank you very much for watching 🙏🏼

[@nancyfuller4901]

@@OTRBandit Just like in your video, I get out and look multiple times when backing in. I don’t care what people in the campground think.

[@user-yk9oj6cl2u]

brrrrpppppp, yea buddy, that door # 10, sure is a tight one to back into, I knew you could do it even with one eye closed, lol.. Thanx for the ride along. Also thanx for doing your part in keeping the freight moving here in the usa. So you mentioned the Trans Am you had, After high school, I got a 1970 Trans Am, 400 c.i. it had the ram air 3 or 4 engine, 4 speed muncie trans. I enjoyed it for not to long, as a intoxicated driver ran a stop sign, I did all I could trying to avoid the car, but mine was totaled. Anyway, Lots of luck on losing weight brah, willpower, willpower. Just a thought, maybe when your home, make a couple healthy meals, put them in tupperware, if you have a microwave, fridge in the Pete, would sure beat eating the fast or truck stop food. Stay safe !!!!!

[@OTRBandit]

Sounds like you had a sweet car there. I’m sorry to hear that it’s gone but I’m glad to see that you made it out of that accident ok. I used to meal prep for the whole week and I’ll have to start doing that again. I have a nice built in fridge here. I just have to buy new microwave and I’ll be set.

[@reinaldorivera8825]

You’re exactly right . When I’m not sure if I’m going to be hitting something I get out and look , it’s better being safe than sorry . God bless and keep on trucking buddy 🙏🏼

[@OTRBandit]

I always say better safe than sorry my friend. 30 seconds to get out and look just to be sure can save you a lot of headache and a lot of money. I really appreciate you watching brother. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Good luck on the fasting brother you can do it! You give me the motivation for working towards one day being an owner op and having my own awesome truck like yours! One day! Safe travels!

[@OTRBandit]

If you’ll be spending all this time on the road away from your family, you should definitely get your own truck. After you get your own truck, start your own company and drive for yourself like I’m doing right now. I don’t mind helping you get your own MC number and helping you or anyone else set everything up. It’s pretty easy to do. You don’t have to pay thousands to someone to start it up for you. You can get it done for less than $1000 plus whatever your insurance would be.

[@RazBuildz]

@@OTRBandit YES! when I go pick up from there it's normal to spend 3-10 hours just waiting to get loaded. It's a nightmare, but luckily that run is just a load and drop it at the yard for a another driver to take because dispatch knows it's an all day trip

Another great vid! Good luck with the weight loss, its never easy is it with a driving job?!! Not sure fasting for that long though is going to be good for you but hey, you do you buddy :) Great bit of reversing as usual and its always a case of being aware of your surroundings which, quite clearly the guy who decided to jack knife his rig into those pallets wasn't!! Stay safe.

I think I’ll be OK too fast to lose weight. Got allot of stored energy reserves in my belly lol

[@susanrodriguez1982]

omg i was lmao with that one truck driver

He sure didn’t know what he was doing unfortunately.

i know thats right but you sure did tell him.stay safe my friend@@OTRBandit

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

Losing weight is hard. Keeping the weight off is even harder .believe me, i know .im always worried about BMI. Blood pressure. DOT PHISICALS. Because of my bad eating habits, lol.i dont like being skinny.

[@OTRBandit]

Hardest part is keeping it off. I’ve lost weight many times and 6 months later it’s all back. It’s easy for me not to eat while driving but when I get home I just eat all the time.

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

@OTRBandit yes sir something I deal with also

Good luck with the weight loss dude, I'm going through the same thing now. Just had open heart surgery and I have Type II diabetes, have to drop the pounds. The three day water fast sounds rough?

I’m sorry to hear you had some health issues there, my friend. Hopefully you get better soon. Three day water fest went pretty good. Surprisingly I was not hungry at all. But I did eat the whole chicken whenever I got home. Lol

I don.t know Bro about moving these axels back all the way.??? Sure you got to look out for the trailer corners swinging out but in tight corners like that crappy 2nd dock, I'm pretty sure cutting your bridge woulda help.

[@OTRBandit]

I’m going to have to try it next time with tandems slid all the way forward. Maybe it’ll be easier for me. I just feel like I can control which way the trailer is going easier when they are all the way back.

[@chefboyrv57]

What a mess that business was, holy shit man...

[@OTRBandit]

It sure was. There was a lot of crap outside and I really hate places like this. They bring pallets outside and there are bunch of nails all over. these semi truck tires are very expensive if you get a nail in them especially the steer tire. You can patch your drive tires, but you cannot patch the steer tires.

[@chefboyrv57]

Shows no respect for the drivers whatsoever@@OTRBandit

[@Bruce-eo3hd]

I am 55 retired from state job. I have 20 yrs experience driving semi locally. I am thinking about becoming an owner operator . Just in the thought phase right now and looking at trucks. What would you suggest or recommend sir

[@OTRBandit]

I would recommend any glider truck with Detroit engine. They are easy to work on and don’t have all that emissions crap. If you can’t find glider truck that works, get the truck that you can repair where you live. If you have Freightliner in your town, get Freightliner. If you have Kenworth in your town, get kenworth. The reason for that is. When you’re home and need to do some work on your truck, you don’t want to be taking it somewhere 2-3 hours away to get it fixed. But I would recommend a glider truck with Detroit 60 like Freightliner Columbia or Coronado. They don’t look as good as this one that I have. But they run just as good and they make money just like any other truck. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

[@Bruce-eo3hd]

Thank you

[@Bruce-eo3hd]

I have found a 2016 389 like yours but red. Has. 12.7 Detroit with 440k on rebuild. Truck has 858k on it. 130k. Is that reasonable price. Seems to be clean nice truck

[@OTRBandit]

@@Bruce-eo3hd It’s pretty reasonable for that truck and mileage. Especially since the engine has been rebuilt. I wouldn’t go that high on the price for my first truck though. But if you can afford it, why not. If you’re ok with payments that are coming with that price, that would definitely be good truck to get. This is a great time to buy trucks because loads are not paying that good right now. As soon as market rebounds and loads start paying good, that truck will jump up in price.

He did the U-turn because he COULD do the U-turn! LOL Doesn’t make him stupid, as you called him. You couldn’t try it because you couldnt do it in your truck right there. Period! Somewhere else maybe but your cab is too long to do a U in that particular space. His wasn’t. Just because drivers do things different than you doesn’t make them wrong or a ‘douche’ (your fave name call that went out in the 80s by the way hahaha). Newer, and younger drivers than yourself, just do things a different way then you. that’s all. Relax and let them.

[@OTRBandit]

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. He almost knocked 100 pallets down with his trailer. He was a huge douche for doing that u turn there. Actually he was not a douche, he was just a stupid moron for doing that. New generation is killing themselves out here and allot of people with them. New generation of drivers does things differently but it’s not good for anyone. We can’t park anywhere because of them. They throw their poop bags and piss bottles everywhere and everyone hates us because of them. If you think we should let them keep doing that and not call them out for that.

Yes, he did almost knock those skids over. 🤣 I still can’t believe they didn’t fall over! Ha! But, he wasted more time and energy doing that U instead of just driving around! That WAS ignorant! 🤣 Anyway, you have a point but I receive 53’ trucks daily at my little office/warehouse M-F in Norfolk, VA. They always do ‘U-turns’ in our parking lot and never cease to amaze me how the hell he/she did it!! So close to a Jack-knife it’s not even funny! I receive anywhere from 1-4 trucks a day. Steelcase, HON, OFS, Kimball, etc. Whole new respect for sure! Ok, back to it…..I came across you today when 1 of your vid’s popped up in my recommended section.
