Dan, isn't it amazing how many ( Know It All) people know more about your business than you do.......Truck safe Bro.

[@randyhome1544]

Use the little green book.

[@bills.4584]

My wife and I were so happy to meet you and your wife today at our Walmart. Thanks for being so gracious. We wish you both the best of life and happiness, as well as safe travels.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

It was really great meeting you guys too. Thanks for watching

[@dchawk81]

Gotta love being called out by people who were educated by hearsay. 👍😀

[@Steve-k4f5z]

I hauled empty containers for years on flatbed. Many out of Suffolk, Norfolk areas and even empty tanks that were previously placarded . Had to stop at check station and show washout papers before was allowed go thru tunnels.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Dan you know what to do. Containers strong point are their corners NOT the roof.

[@robertbrothen1460]

Bailey was ready to drive! Had her paw on the shifter! Stay safe out there Dan & Bailey!

[@jammer3speed1]

Love how you quote the book. One of the best instructions for a new driver. Keep a "little green book."

[@devtrash]

You guys acted a fool and Dan had to get the Lil Green Book out.

[@brianbridle951]

La Jeune was all over the news during our holiday. Bad water ? by the sounds of it.

[@bigunone]

My cousin has a friend who knew somebody who saw.... LOL

[@billsmith8739]

Great answer for the tie down points for " the Arm Chair truck drivers!!"

[@DymondzTrucking1962]

If you read the little green book on how to secure you load and do it that way you won't have any trouble at the scales. Stay safe Dan and Bailey I'll see you on the next one.

[@kens.3729]

Hello Dan! Thanks for Working on Labor Day and Every Other Day of the year to Deliver Goods we need from Companies across the US. Hello 👋 Bailey. 👍🙏

[@paulsccna2964]

Baley (using the dogs voice), "I drives the truck and he just sits there..."

[@Bits-of-Bytes]

MIC drop on the shipping container securing instructions! Keep the videos coming.

[@ken7875]

Word of advice. Don’t drink the water.😂

[@garyforney9421]

Enjoy your time at home

[@thewatchmen4920]

Out of over 30 years I think that you have a good idea of 🚛. Time for a break with the family. Safe travels 🚛 💨 💨 💨 💨

[@lizdini722]

I’m new to your channel. I found it thanks to your hook up with Kurt from Trucking With Schmidt. I’m enjoying your content, but I would love to see a bit more interaction with Bailey. BTW, she is absolutely gorgeous.

[@gregorylewis5278]

GM MR DAN you and mrs bailey be careful

[@UDX4570PalmSprings-yh1mv]

A professional through and through. Dan has a polite way of saying "Your wrong" when he gets called out!. 🤠👍

[@jamessimms415]

Safe Travels. Love❤Miss Bailey. Give her a hug, smooches, & scratches behind both ears.

[@Oheeeoh]

Looks like Bailey has been practicing with that shifter when you weren't looking. Travel safe you two.

[@truck4140]

TESTIFY Brother! Enjoy your home time.

[@dashhoundlover2837]

HELLO DAN WOW THE RAIN MAN !! BE SAFE BE BLESSED APPRECIATE YOU !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸✊👊🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾 COOL PARK !

[@garyjenkins6600]

All empty or full Containers Have twist locks on each corner of the Trailer

[@dchawk81]

They have twist lock receptacles. The lock pins are on the trailer if so equipped. Dan's flatbed is not so equipped, therefore chains are acceptable.

[@robertduffin455]

Thanks for sharing interesting video of your life on the American highway You seriously need some quality home time Stay safe and enjoy 🌵👍🇬🇧

[@BreakTimeMoments]

So glad you missed the storm

[@mauricethomas4885]

You were 38 miles from where I was standing. I would have love to met you and Bailey. Thanks for the content and vids. Continue to have safe travels on your journey balancing life and the truck industry. ❤May blessings continue to shine on you and Teresa, Bailey included.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

"EVERYTHING" you ever wanted to know about "everything" is in the little green book..... great way to discuss securement and it is so important! ex-LTL driver.....retired 3 plus years ago just as the pandemic was getting going & do not miss it-- --much.....lol

[@18-tolife20]

Cool deal warsaw is pronounced like you say it the second time you wasn't to far from me there & camp wish I knew you were there I would have seen if I could have met you trying my hand a step deck!

[@onetuliptree]

I learned something new, thanks Dan! Safe travels.

[@classrockin]

Dan, I've been following you for about 2 years now, and as a former CDL holder, I can say without hesitation that you're one of the most solid, responsible, and safety conscious drivers in the USA. Don't ever let those Monday morning clowns get under your skin. I look forward to seeing new videos of yours each and every week. Your adventures along with little Bailey riding shotgun are the best. Happy trails, and safe travels to you both 🙂🐶❤️

[@SamuelManaole]

Very nice comment

[@albertmartin6298]

Welcome back my friend and you guys have a wonderful week

[@graemeschubert6162]

In Australia, Never have I seen a shipping container have a strap over it in my life

[@jimedward3011]

Dang the little green book is a lot bigger than when i was out there

[@bradfordthompson8326]

We thick our Girl, Bailey, Needs a Raincoat like her cousin "TEDDY TUES" DOES...It look beautiful on her ,,,,"A ORANGE " ONE......."IT can say " TRUCKING IS A DOG WORLD"....."BAILEY DRIVES BETTER "😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

[@clfhnt]

So glad you missed the storm. Was worried about you guys. Thanks for educating us on rules in the trucking industry.

[@chriswild2458]

Great rainy road footage excellent

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Nice video, and have a good week Dan.

[@phmoffett]

Hi Daniel, I saw the reefer unit in the first container. Stay safe and Thanks.

[@stevencriste9656]

Well said Dan, you have the book and follow it. Anyone who would take the time to look at a conex box on a transport trailer would realize that they are only secured to the transport trailer at the four BOTTOM corners by design.

[@d1843f]

Glad you are safe

[@a.h.s.1441]

You brought back old memories...I lived in Warsaw, N.C for three years. Learned how to crop and hang tobacco during my summers as a kid for $1.25/hour. Learned how to work in those fields.

[@Jorgeola757]

Hey Dan , I enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@dosswatson7145]

Bailey wants more camera time 😂. Have a safe trip. Enjoy your time at home.

[@John13Edge]

Dan I like your comment about quoting the rules…..besides that if they used a little common sense …Have I ever seen a custom deck for hauling containers have straps over the containers…..answer never…containers are like hauling heavy equipment as long as all four containers are secured you are good to go.

[@jayt6524]

Do what you do and never mind the KZbin experts. You my friend are experienced from many years and know the way its done.

[@warrenmills5081]

Good morning dan be safe 🙏 ❤

[@joanhenderson5114]

Always learn from your videos. Rest up. Stay safe. Enjoy your home time. See you Bailey.

[@greglammers9905]

The know it alls are everywhere. It’s amazing how many DOT inspectors don’t know the rules either. And then when you point out in the handbook they come up with there interpretation. Lol safe travels Dan, enjoy the videos.

[@happy2win]

Dan, I live in the Piedmont area of NC. Please come visit us in Greensboro when you can. Love your videos and Bailey.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Thanks for the video, Dan. Travel safe and enjoy your home time.

[@Shadeza1373]

@Super_Trucker_Dan with your experience you ow no one an explanation 🎉😂

[@eaglerare1273]

Hang N there Dan O and good luck at the homestead. Rest up

[@leonardmsl68]

Be safe out there

[@jamesterrill1938]

Happy to see you made it around the storms.

[@bill4942]

When in doubt get the book out. Be safe Dan👍

[@jerrycoggin9434]

I will never question how a fellow driver wants to secure their load. Chaining the front and back is plenty for an empty sea box anyway. Now if someone doesn't know and asks me something, I just tell them how I would do it. That is all I can really do. End of story. Same gioes for me not knowing the first time I haul something Im not familiar with or haven't had on my trailer in a long time. I not afraid to ask somebody that looks like they probably know the answer. I suppose I could consult the book but it always seems vague and hard to interpret. 14:42

[@gregthompson995]

Be safe Dan and enjoy your time at home

[@ohthatguy1999]

Hey Dan, I'm an oil hauler and my wife was picking me up heading back to El Paso for days off. I saw you passing through Pecos on the 20. We were in the black Acura..just wanted to say real nice truck dude! Huge actually!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

I remember you guys. Enjoy your time off. Thanks for Watching

[@jamesmclachlan3575]

Great job Super Man, uh Super Dan I mean lol. Enjoy the time off. You earned it. 👍👍

[@janeweldon8874]

You and Bailey stay safe!

[@davidnash330]

Dan, you are Truly a professional trucker!

[@donwilliams5841]

Did they tell you what's in the containers?

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks for the video Dan and bailey have a great home time and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍.

[@skipwilson7626]

Looks like you’re making great work on the weight loss. Be careful when you get home 👍

[@psg6314]

Have a safe trip home and stay safe God bless from GA

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good one Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘

[@jbbatulisjr291]

Great job Dan…Great information and content… Knowledge and preparation then execute…Definitely an asset to your company and industry….

[@NickManCuso59]

Hi Dan. Although I've done it I'm not much of a coast to coast guy either. Nowadays I prefer dedicated runs. Happy trails !

[@jackklingen4728]

Good to hear from you Dan, knew you were in Miami and wondered if you had gotten out in time. Safe travels.

[@michaeldavenport5034]

All those trucks loading in Camp Lejeune and headed to the same destination in Yuma? Too bad you didn't do a convoy. Lol.

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

,,, still can't understand using the stake pockets, for the chains, or the chain hooks . Except in rare occasion, of space limitations .

[@ericdavidson5011]

Dan, are there rules about leaving enough space to allow law enforcement to open the doors on containers?

[@markisb3585]

You was in my neck of the woods in Warsaw North Carolina. I live near Mount. Olive North Carolina.

[@davidmcknlght2700]

👍

[@ronthompson3525]

Guys who have never flatbeded telling you how your doing it wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@arthurburke1044]

Don’t drink the water 💦

[@robc3887]

WTI time in Yuma, Fall class…

[@billtodd6509]

Ill bet the rate on that copper will really bottom out coming out of Az with 23 trucks delivering to Yuma, right? I used to deliver USMC Air Station and spent loads of hours waiting on a pickup out of White Sands, NM coming home. Take care, Bill

[@Dave-py6rw]

I see you’re twisting your straps (as I always did) has DOT ever given you grief for that?

[@davidwpinkston4226]

i would argue theology with the pope before arguing strapping loads with dan

[@rayseals8764]

How is tire wear with suspension repair and alignment?

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. That you are Dan a professional. I am sure you have hauled containers of various sizes and weights over the years and know what to use when securing a load to your deck. Container chassis as you know only secure the loaded container at each corner . It’s just a lock, nothing fancy but it does what it’s supposed to do. Hauling RGN, step deck or flat is an art when securing loads to them. Run a deck for a few years like you have and guess what you know what your doing. So Dan your going home. I remember going home after being away for awhile. I would recognize everything but I felt not much of a bond to what I was seeing. The bond was formed in the tractor. Always love your videos Dan, professional all the way. Mercier is lucky to have you. Anywho have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring and enjoy your visit at home with Theresa.

[@brucebarker7865]

Love you're videos we are close to the same age iam 58 there's not many of us hard workers left it seems no 1 wants to work there are help wanted signs every where.stay safe out there God bless.

[@maidenrulz73]

Does the exhaust from your truck ever float into California?

[@joeferreira7382]

How's it going Dan , Little Bailey's thinking, you sure did dad , put me right out there in the rain dad what's wrong with you 😂😂🕶 For sure I hear what you're saying , My buddy does it this way , But the law says it's this way , and the buddy never says how many tickets he got before he got it off to trailer 🕶 be safe take care yourselves Dan

[@raywilson800]

Edited out 2 days worth of video? Dan

[@Bluenoser613]

Dan's looking good. Lost some weight?

[@davidgriffin14]

Do you get to know what's inside of a military container or is it secret. Could it be full of guns?

[@mojo2131]

I have said this before Dan it's not cheap fuel it's cheaper fuel because we haven't had cheap fuel since October 2020 and that's when It was $ 1.57 a gallon .

[@Ricphil]

:)

[@danamarshall4502]

Armchair Quarterbacks. Don't you love em?

[@ghodgeco]

My buddy thinks that you do an awesome job. He also thinks that Bailey is the star of the show. I tend to agree with him.
