nice to see you delivered in my neck of the woods ... lol. stay safe dan

[@keithworker8556]

Anchoring is a science,doing it correctly and not having to worry about the load is a skill set . Great job .

[@rdyardie]

Good ole Kubota "stuff" is tied down to make sure it does not move. I am impressed to see what has to be done to make sure your load does not move. 😊

[@fishlips8336]

100% agreed.

Extra special load securement...Pro job. Pay attention People.

[@onetuliptree]

Kubota are popular in KZbin videos, fun work toys.

[@michael_flowers]

Hi Dan, your v-blogs showing the life of a owner operator are enjoyable as well as informative. As a non-professional trucker, the various ways you secure the loads are a tremendous asset to me when I need to transport small items, mainly construction lumber for home improvement projects. The concepts of securement is what I find helpful. Thanks for the time to film and upload the videos.

[@U_ever]

That Kansas sunrise is making me very homesick. "LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK". God forbid you should be running around with a loose "LIKE" button !

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Dan. You sure are busy. Thankfully you are having good loads. You and Bailey take care. Blessings

[@Bluenoser613]

You've got a rockstar coordinator to make sure you're in the right place at the right time too!

Good morning I have driven Europe for over 45years the difference in traffic is amazing your roads seem so quiet compared to the u k and Europe

[@johnnance648]

Hi Dan and Bailey too!!

[@davidwpinkston4226]

i may never see you on the road, but if i do, i will feel safe

[@dosswatson7145]

Bailey wants a hug!

[@Buehr99]

Hi Dan you do such an excellent job of securing your loads. All flat bed truckers should learn from you. So glad you have been busy. Bailey and you need some rest and regenerate. You are such a hard worker.

[@FTW60]

Lol... Dan you should get a laugh about this. For whatever reason your not coming up in my feed? Anyway, saw this spot on the screen kept scraping it with my nail, then finally noticed it was a bug on your windshield..... I know not real bright lol be safe

[@natereese2056]

How about a shot of the truck with all the chicken lights on. Can't remember seeing the truck all lite up. Love the videos!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@ARSMITH36571]

Thanks Dan!

[@im_not_mad]

My daddy said the wind never stops blowing in Kansas, he was stationed at Riley, he hated it. God bless my daddy. They are proud of them Kubotas huh? Safe travels Dan! Truck 🛻

[@ash7700]

Again, I must say I really like the music you use on your clips.

[@terryanderson4366]

Wish I knew the source of his music. Many times Dan's times are very entertaining and what I have never heard before. One benefit of driving many hours is time to listen to music radio.

Hello Dan! Greatly enjoy the videos. Hope your doing well. I've been checking often to see if anything new is happening. God bless.

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool video Dan 👍

[@Jose-gq8wc]

Wow I would have gone crazy to figure that out. You could be a great teacher

[@davidcarroll8735]

Yet another great video! I’m amazed at all the different ways you find to effectively secure the varying loads 👍

[@fredflintstone8048]

I chuckled a little bit when I saw all those wind chargers sitting idle. I'm not against wind power at all but it just goes to show there are times when they're useless.

[@terryanderson4366]

They my not be turning until transmision line are built. With electric wire to carry power away from towers to delivery location, the project need not be turning.

[@mikewatson4644]

Until the transmission line is built, they don't need to run. Kind of like a car doesn't need to have the engine running if it's parked in the garage.

[@patrickinottawa27]

My understanding from wind power for off-grid cabins etc. You have to have a way to either use (Charge batteries) or dump the excess power that is generated, otherwise it damages the generator. These units are probably locked-out till the site comes fully online. Feeding power into the grid is a coordinated task, or you'll start tripping safeties.

[@fredflintstone8048]

@@patrickinottawa27 Those windchargers are not for off-grid use like a cabin, so that's off topic. The units in the video are much larger and far more complex. Regarding large wind chargers like the ones in the video they have transmissions on them that allow them to control the output Levels precisely so the level of voltage and current as well as the frequency that they supply can be varied. It's true that the voltage levels on the grid have to be kept within a certain range but most of the grid controls around the world make as much use of wind and solar as possible. I also noticed that they're facing in different directions as well as that there is no wind. Which tells me that before they stopped turning the wind probably wasn't coming from a consistent direction. If the wind had been blowing they would have all been facing the same way. Again, for the sake of ROI wind chargers are used at much as possible and the fossil fuel plants will back off supplying the grid to make use of them. They only have so much life in them so they need to be able to report as much power production from each one as possible to satisfy the investors. I know this because I've been involved in writing the software that tracks that.

[@reggiehowze1891]

I've been sleeping with window up here in Coffeeville Alabama. Not worried about anyone coming thru window.😉.

[@hermanboing8489]

Hey Trucker Dan! I've been enjoying your show for years. Thanks for all of your hard work and kudos on your Dorsey endorsement. I'll have to say though the addition of the big sign in the back of your cab detracts from your otherwise excellent show. Dorsey seems like good company. I don't think it's necessary advertisement given the quality of your show and your own endorsement of your trailer. Thnx!

[@BradWeber82]

Hi Dan, Great video keep them coming! Be safe

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Living and driving out of Canada I always had to have 2 to 3 different types of clothing with me in the winter. As I got further south I would start to shed more clothes. It was nice getting away from the cold snowy North to the tea shirt cowboy boot south. You sure do get around. Running flat deck I always seemed to be delivering loads to out of the way places. Usually never paved just dirt and dust. That Kabota load sure had you working at tying down. That’s the thing with running decks you always got some kind of excerise. Nice video Dan. You have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

[@kens.3729]

Kubota Brand is Very Popular with Smaller Operations and Homeowners because they are affordable. Average Price for a New Pickup Truck is 61k. 🤪👎

[@mikebronkala9818]

Where you at Dan?? Hope all is well. See you soon.

[@jonathantaylor6926]

Bring that trailer load over to my house! That 65 on the back is a hard machine to come across.. those $45,000 mini’s were supposed to be around 30k when they were being designed a few years back. Equipment prices have got WAY out of control.

I never realized how much more truck stops put the price of diesel till this weekend. Drove past a sheetz along 224 in NE Ohio and it had diesel at $3.95 this was a sheetz with a truck stop and 50 parking spots. Then got to 224/71 where Loves, Pilot, and TA at diesel at $4.45

Hi Dan, why does your trailer not have a headboard, there's nothing to stop your load coming into the cab. enjoy your video's regards John

The skid steer on the back of the trailer has the chains pulling towards the rear of the trailer and the binders pulling the front of the machine slightly towards the rear as well.

Welcome to Kansas. it was fun seeing roads that Iv been on before. I live just south of KC but have family all across the state. Growing up we went back and forth for family events a lot. Coming across on 50 through Peabody is pretty in the summer. When you were in Edgerton (Edge er tone) you were about 20 mi from me so that was cool. Being a ex driver I love your attention to detail on securing your load. Anyway another great video. Be safe buddy.

[@lloyddobson4262]
