When I pulled flatbed I always had a 6 ft long 2×2, to stick between the rub rails and the fork lift. No matter how many time you tell them they always will run into the rub rails. Good luck!

[@rce8540]

Yes I sent this to Dan long ago. Had the two by four with couple hooks. Been using them for years. Had aluminum trailer since nineties. It hard to figure people won’t make one. Your the only guy I have ever mention it. Take care.

[@Revolver1701]

As an official with our union I was bargaining with GSA in new office space for a Georgia office. A blind employee had a service dog named Bailey. We bargained for four hours over Bailey’s space where she would lie beside the employee as he worked. GSA didn’t want to allow open space above Bailey’s bed. We were adamant and Bailey and her human were accommodated. It made a difference to Bailey that she would be comfortable. Bailey was a good dog. She mattered.

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

Love the Train of the Day in videos 👍

[@chickey333]

When it comes to taking a bath, that's a pretty accommodating dog you have there Dan. Happy trails.

[@Oheeeoh]

Bailey has what it takes to be a bath dog model if she ever decides to go that route.

[@im_not_mad]

I’ve slept in that truck stop before. AND ARMY WINS!🇺🇸

[@alanlofts1653]

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos safe travels

[@kens.3729]

Heavy Power (5 Locomotives / Units) on the Train of the Day. It was Flying by. 👍

[@classrockin]

You know Dan, you obviously make every effort to keep your rig in prime operating condition. I'm well aware how expensive aluminum trailers are, it's ridiculous that a careless fork operator with a sucked attitude, damaged your flawless trailer, and doesn't face consequences? That company definitely owes you some compensation as far as I'm concerned. On the lighter side, that was great watching you give Bailey a bath 🐶🙂

[@trucker85d47]

I know the feeling the owner operator I drove for had a new 51’ step deck and delivered a load with it to the base in Norfolk VA and the busted the rub rail with the fork lift it took four hours to get it straight out with all the paper work to make sure they would pay for the repairs be safe out there 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@michaeldavenport5034]

So not only do truckers have to deal with rude, inconsiderate, arrogant, ignorant drivers on the road, they also have to deal with this at shippers and receivers. That was certainly an unprofessional place you had to deal with.

[@Shadeza1373]

🤦‍♂️ Starts @ the security at the gate. 🤦‍♂️ Forklift drivers. 🤦‍♂️ The receiver staff. 🤷‍♂️ All hate us truckers😥

[@13699111]

I agree with your comment

[@MidwayGuy]

Then they go and dent his equipment!

[@DDD-us6uu]

Bath day Bailey, she is so cute, I'm a cute dog fan if you can't tell, you know your supposed to read minds, ain't they great!

[@bobtinsley8511]

Hi Dan. There should be some sort of recourse for them damaging your trailer. I would talk to your company about the damage. Thank you for the great videos, enjoy your content

[@waynewalker8603]

my first time ever witnessing a bungee sacrifice Dan (-;

[@alsfxrs]

I understand what it is like to go to a facility to pick up and there are no signs or visible display to notify you of what to do. When you get out of truck to talk you are yelled at and then they do not understand why the driver snaps back at them. I do not think they understand what being a truck driver really entails . I think anyone that has an automobile license should have to ride with a truck driver for 8 hours in a fairly congested area to see first hand what it takes and then maybe it might sink in. Thanks for the great videos and keep practicing your cool and calm attitude , which proves you are a professional driver. Peace

[@billcotherman2155]

How about a lynch pin like you would use on your tractor 3 point except smaller? Love your channel whatever you put on it. Merry Christmas Dan and Teresa

[@dickhartley7090]

Dan, stretch bunge from top handle to bottom handle should keep both secure.

[@glenjohnson9505]

If you have one, or know someone that has a porta power, you can get that dent out of your trailer rail.. Safe travels Dan, Happy Holidays!!

[@latteralshift4219]

On the roll up door latches on my companies trailers. i will use Carabiner Clips to hold the latch safety together. and there cheap to replace if needed.

[@thatcurveguy]

You passed right by my daughter in McComb. MS.

[@rn4vetsny304]

Yes Saturday entertainment!!!!

[@andrewj4442]

I'm sorry they damaged Dorsey! 😫 Thanks for Mississippi 27 scenic backroad drive! Safe travels!

[@robertbarone2306]

Bailey is a good companion. She's a good dog. I live in Shreveport and for 23 yrs I lived in Chattanooga. I've driven across the Mississippi River in Vicksburg several times. I tell everyone that I could close my eyes and tell when I got to the Louisiana state line. I20 in Louisiana is horrible

[@cornbread1955]

You could buy you one of those clips that people put their key rings on and clip it to their belt loop for their keys to put on that door plus that would keep it from accidentally coming off because you would have to make a button and pull the spring back for it to come off

[@jbbatulisjr291]

Sure enough a “D Ring”

[@scottycollins1829]

Safe Travels!!!!!

[@albertmartin6298]

Welcome back my friend and Bailey and happy holidays again to you and your family

[@johnmcclain7072]

Enjoyed the video Dan. Merry Christmas and truck it safe 😎

[@kennymusselman7407]

Thanks for sharing be safe out there and hopefully you miss the snow ❄️

[@onetuliptree]

Thanks for the video and stay safe, hope you can avoid the snow and storm predicted to be bad.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Dan !! Look around the T/S parking lots when you walk Bailey as have found broken ""BUNGEE"" cords laying in the lots over the years & have found the hooks very useful as you say !! Work great for flower pot hanger hooks around the house ,, better than using wire clothes hangers !!! HAHA 🙄🤗 Thanks for the ride & TOO bad about the trailer, but thankful for the "RUB RAIL "" 😮‍💨🙄👍👍👍👍👍

[@shawnkelly5374]

Great video Dan. Drive safe and God Bless

[@areyes1979ar]

Hello Dan and Bailey hopefully if you ever go back to that facility you two will have a better experience. Please keep the videos rolling you and Bailey have a safe drive where ever you two go.

[@wideslammer]

Hook the bungie the other way. If the wind catches the small strap (the way you have it), it could rotate the hook enough to possibly come loose.

[@bnelson313braveheart8]

Keep on trucking Dan!

[@curtismartin539]

Hello,, just a suggestion,, I would take a couple of wooden or plastic wedges and put between the trailer and the flat bar,, push the dent back out,, use a plastic or hard rubber hammer and work both sides of the dent,, should make it look better.. I enjoy your adventures,, Thanks

[@tomaugust6]

Hello from Brisbane Australia. Once again a cool video. I'm afraid that there are rude people every where you go. No matter if you are driving or even in public. Was thinking that maybe you could get a couple Carabiner for you latches on you tool boxes. A friend of mine drives a Wood Chip truck that has rear container doors and they use them to secure the latches. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@jamesterrill1938]

Great video..

[@talltrucker2682]

Good ole Brookhaven ♥️♥️♥️been my home based terminal for the last two years. Happy Holidays to you and Theresa and all the animals lol

[@donniehodge2548]

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

I enjoy ur videos greetings from Massachusetts Saturday 6:39 p.m.

[@robertduffin455]

Thanks Dan You show the true life of a owner operator it’s frustrating when try to be professional the trouble is you speak English they listen stupid Take care on life’s highway 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@BigTader]

Safe travels Dan.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Thanks for the video, Dan!!! Travel safe and happy holidays.

[@geraldlessard7446]

👍

[@GASolomons]

The world can be a nasty place sometimes no matter how nice you are. Best to just get it off your chest as quick as possible and move on. Stay strong and keep safe. Love your vids. 🩹

[@andrewpatterson8770]

Might be another place to take off the list of places to load... Stay safe out there and keep up the good work.

[@franksilveira7388]

stay safe Dan

[@petermarshall7005]

Thanks Dan for the Train of the day . That injury to your trailer is annoying but I am sure one of your fans will come up with an easy fix . Cheers

[@jameswest4917]

That is why they have insurance. If you damaged a load that bad. Would they not do a claim it on you?

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks for the ride. Bailey is very special. B

[@bigpaddy8363]

Working 👍

[@turbo5488]

Hey Dan how's everything going with you and all we had here in Illinois was just rain that was it and we might have snow on Thursday here in Bloomington Illinois and you keep that truck and trailer in tremendous condition and don't get mad about dent on the rail on the trailer and I wouldn't done that because I have alot of respect for people's truck and trailer when I use to load semi trucks have a great weekend and have a great week 👍👍

[@nancybert5149]

Good boy, Bailey

[@nonamebleak]

baileys bath was so cute

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@deanlamberth0sbcglob]

Perfect reason for a big sleeper

[@bobthetruckerguy5770]

That was so cute when Bailey put her paw on you while you were talking. That trailer damage really stinks, I wonder if you can pound something down into that space to straighten that out a little, like a steel wedge or something similar

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Get some linch pin dan from the tractor store or the wire ones in two pieces with the loop on the top .that sort out your tool box problems we used linch pins on our trailer boxs

[@dennismckown4951]

my uncle use to buy hay in the US and sell it in Canada. he had this neat little tool that checked the moisture content in a bale of hay. if it was too moist he wouldn't buy it as it would be too "wet" by the time it reached the receiver. if you've ever smelled wet hay, you'd know what i meant. even cows wouldn't eat it nor sleep on it, although most ranchers and farmers used straw for cattle bedding.

[@brianbridle951]

Vickburg was one of the first vists when we came over in 1976.

[@kens.3729]

Latch is a Poor Design and would work much better if the Mechanism was Reversed so the Handle was 180 degrees in the opposite direction. 👍

[@garycovell2913]

Dan Best music ever.

[@rustypugh123]

Wow. Can't believe I caught your latest 5 minutes after you posted it! What about a kotter key to keep that latch secure?

[@thewatchmen4920]

B SAFE SIR 🚛 💨 💨 💨💨

[@dashhoundlover2837]

HELLO DAN LOVE THE BAILY BATH JUST TO CUTE LITTKE STINKER 🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾BEAUTIFUL VIDEO YOUR SUCH A GREAT PERSON !! BE BLESSED STAY SAFE BROTHER 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Super Dan .For your cabinet latch...perhaps you could try not to cut your bundgy cords on your bottom latch, hook the latch and stretch your cord up to top of dorsy trailer rub rail and hook other end of your cord to top of trailer..to also save your cords🎉😂❤❤

[@jamessimms415]

Safe Travels. I can remember on the return from a family trip to Arkansas long, long ago to visit relatives we came back through Vicksburg before the I-20 bridge had been completed, they were still working on it. We & EB traffic were stopped on the old bridge midstream to allow WB semi’s to corkscrew down from Vicksburg. Looked over & saw an iron worker w/no safety equipment except for his hard hat walking nonchalantly across the very top of the superstructure like he was walking in the park on a Sunday afternoon. Have crossed the I-20 bridge many a time going to/from Texas seeing relatives. The area above the old bridge is a wonderful place to catch trains crossing the bridge. Give Miss Bailey hugs, smooches, & scratches behind each ear. Do as she says, she who must be obeyed…..

[@ksolo1960]

Great video Dan! Sucks about your trailer. You might be able to use a small cheap padlock for the handle. PS. I never throw away hooks off bungees! Lol! Peace, be safe! 🤟🤟

[@stevechovan343]

Dog leash clips work great for those handles. Walmart has them.

[@jclarkj6]

I always love giving our Labs a bath. Except they try to avoid it but jump in every mud puddle they see.

[@Torsee]

Boy, the Mississippi sure looked low! They are experiencing a record drought. Barges are badly delayed. Very tough on the water down there.

[@eztrucking6211]

Wow 😲 I have the same trailer and same problem as well nobody cares about anything so sad but I still try to keep my head up and be kind hoping one day people will change and go back to being kind wish ful thinking be safe out there my great friend Dan

[@gtnoslp]

Some cheap hitch "Hair pins" would work good for retaining your latches. Available in many sizes and types.

[@haroldfoust]

Hello super Dan Welcome back December 10th local time 6:30 PM Saturday night👍🎅

[@monteowens9459]

Yep Dan, I think sometimes these places think we’re mind readers. It doesn’t cost that much for a few signs!

[@jaredparker7637]

Go to a farm store and get yourself some hitch pin clips for your tool box handles.

[@larrysierens1029]

If you don't want to sacrifice a bungie you could get a set of small carabiners to clip into the handles or even a set of metal shower curtain clips

[@chriskahlson]

Sorry about that ding and the rude treatment, enjoyed the video 😅

[@robertclark9]

Bailey’s really good in the bath. I had a female Shih Tzu for a co-pilot 10yrs. And every bath was a knock down drag out. Idk why. She just hated em. 😂🐾🐶

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Very surprised Video Dan.. You and Bailey was probably not the first driver to make this Mistake , Surprised they didn't add more Signs??

[@gmr61]

Buy a carabiner and snap those in. They have different sizes.

[@philipburrows]

Hi Dan What you could do is get a bungy strap and hook it up to both latches and if the bungy is too long put a knot in it to shorten the bungy to give it some tension just enough to keep it in place but slack enough to remove it, this is set between the top latch and the bottom one. The other way is to see if the bottom latch can be rotated around to match the top one that is if the mechanism inside can be flipped to work in reverse mode to how the top latch works.

[@hughcox1375]

Well enjoy your travels today , Bailey looks awesome. Rude drivers are everywhere 😡

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels

[@simpsonsj]

The crease in the metal will stay but maybe the rail can be straightened a little? Anyways, at the very least I hope the guy apologized for the damage and for his attitude. Stay safe out there Dan.

[@stevenmurata4392]

Have good look at the first stop, 3 strikes, he won't going back. How about using a mini carabiner clip to lock that handle up?

[@descouch1984]

try some welding wire or rods knock the flux off and bend it to what you want like the bungy hook.

[@jacobjake6339]

Find you some carter pins.

[@kens.3729]

GOD knows you’re not hard on your equipment so NO telling why the handle broke. You don’t have some of those doors open too often. Mississippi is Low.

[@roberthudson4822]

...a Carabiner hook with either a spring-loaded or threaded hasp for those gravity defying latches? Safe travels Daniel.

[@oldflatbeder3218]

I'm sure you herd this, but I have sprayed soap on the rails to make the 5th wheel and the trailer axels slide better. The trailer axel deal doesn't apply to you. Dan you have a first class operation, Stay safe and have fun.

[@davidjudge2913]

Hey Dan, maybe a magnet epoxies on the back side of the handle.

[@onlyGRT]

I have always wondered why the trailer boxes are not locked ! I guess instead of a bungee you could put a lock in there to solve the problem.

[@aberdeenbelfry316]

I used to use a cheap carabiner to keep my tool box closed.

[@kens.3729]

These Companies need to Realize that they never have and never will teach Mind Reading in School. Companies need Signage for Obvious Reasons. 🤪👎

[@rmeshr3657]

And a train. Daniel comes through 😊 a 🚛 and a 🚂

[@scottklaske7753]

Always next to a stake pocket..where it can't be straightened.

[@joeferreira7382]

Truck and trailer looking good Dan , For sure Bailey's thinking you are the best dad 😁 Well that is a bummer the fork lift driver doing that , What I call them is a unprofessional forklift Driver , Them are a nice design of a lock on your boxes , They need to redesign them that will not happen , For sure a bungee cord works , but it looks tacky as hades , be safe take care yourselves DAN
