Kev is like "Ice cream, I do not got time for ice cream.. I got paper work to do then get them big wheels rolling on down the freeway...I gotta make us some money." LOL

[@VRandAugmentedTraining]

Truckers all around are having difficulty over this Thanksgiving holiday it seems. Today I came to pick up a load at a facility but the trailer air brake was leaking so bad that it would not unlock. I called my company and they set up a mechanic to come out to fix it but the facility would not let the mechanic onto the property as policy. So I can't get the trailer out. I spent about 3 hours here and finally said I'm just going to bobtail into the parking lot and sleep until something can be resolved tomorrow. Oh the wonderful life of trucking.

[@efil4kizum]

was there a constant Hissing sound from the rear with the air supply attached and trl brake not engaged?

[@VRandAugmentedTraining]

​​@efil4kizum yes, the leak was coming from the brake chamber on one of the very rear tandem axles. My company sent a vendor mechanic but the facility would not let him in the property. He told me how to make a temporary fix and gave me the tools to try but the tandems were slid all the way back and the back end was up against the fence so I could not move the tandems forward and there is no way I would be able to fit in there to get to the brake chamber. I'm currently still waiting at the facility to see what to do next with my company

[@timmcdermottgetgf2250]

Hi Kevin and Tanya

[@gregorydent6613]

We should be getting more dryvans by March of next year and that should start helping. They got a ton of new reefers shipped to NC to one customer already and more coming soon.

[@chessknight8091]

Kevin. You look exhausted. Are you just taking naps? Does your wife drive so you can run as a team? Are you doing the night/day sleep patterns? Please try to either drive nights or days because you look extremely fatigued. Be safe. Pops (10 year, one million miler) p.s I drove for Crete one year.

I'm a train fanatic in fact I am a engineer for Unoin Pacific R/R for 20 years and counting

[@kingmike40]

Don't let your bosses see that you misspelled Union.

[@jonathanbair523]

Good thing you are doing a job you love... I live next to the rail yard in Fort Worth Tx, so I kinda tune the trains out...

[@charleswright9024]

@@kingmike40 the bosses have seen how I misspelled Union they asked me to correct them then we we all had a laugh or two

[@cambrian7119]

The Cajon pass next to I-15 is the steepest grade in the nation for trains, requiring 3 locomotives at the front and two pushers at the rear.

[@Broski0928]

''That's how you like to shoot too'' cracked me up lol😂

Kevin eating his meal I’m howling here in bed with my wife, we’re having a good laugh! I love your longer videos and the content is great, mix of both driving and eating together 😋 keep up the great videos Kevin and Tanya, love you guys. Be safe out there in your travels!

I have a question about orientation I heard you have like a 70 to 120 question test you have to pass what is it over

[@randyalt370]

What type of air fryer you have that works in your truck.

[@chrisborey1734]

I have a 25.00 small one from Walmart had it for 4 years and only thing I had to do is retighten the nut on the fan.

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

I quit a job driving new truck makeing.48 cents a mile and was at least makeing $1150 to $1200 a week and now I make .64 cents a mile and not running enough miles to make over $800 I literally made $110 paycheck this week 633 miles

[@kevinscott6393]

They offer alot of miles until you actually get hired. You got to remember, he gets plenty of miles because he's promoting Crete......free advertising on their part. I said hell with it, and just retired.

[@knudriis8367]

What is best when you start driving a truck in the USA is it in a large company or in a small company. Show me how to drive for a company that moves corn and soybeans from the farmer to the mill. Is it also enough to get a job at CRETE CARRIER. I would like to drive long trips. And is your age (57 years) an obstacle to driving for them. Have driven in Denmark for 5 years (long trips) as long as it can be in the EU.

[@corycampbell9811]

Peggy Sue’s is on 15 in Yermo north of the 40

[@corycampbell9811]

Taking 40 adds about 200 miles to the trip.

He needs to get out more

Actually looking for a place to happen that is in a hurry that’s how accidents caused by him

[@ravitejachinta9511]

Hai I am a student. Driver can you explain to me or give a detailed description on tandem settings please I love your videos

[@jonathanbair523]

The trailer tiers are called Tandems.. By pulling a pin you can slide them up a bit (About 5 feet or so) from the back.. Having them scooted foreword changes how the trailer turns... I am not am not a trucker, so not sure why they do it but I know it can also effect the load weight per set of wheels..

[@janandersson9657]

Kevin ! what do you get in your ear ? 😁

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

Well just changed asset managers and switched to south midwestern region yesterday asset manager thinks my mileage was fine for some reason hopefully things get better soon

[@kylemckee]

Crete 😅

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

If things don’t get better soon my family will be homeless thanks to Crete / Shaffer

[@kingmike40]

What did Crete do to you and your family?

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

I wish people would be honest about driving for Crete Shaffer and not just want driver referral bonuses cause that’s the only way your going to make good money here is driver referral bonus tricking people in to driveing for a company that doesn’t care if you get miles or not

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

@@KevinHensley-mo1ju Sorry you feel this way. That’s actually not our experience. You can look at our income videos. And we don’t make videos ‘just to get driver referrals’. But rather to help newer drivers flatten their learning curve and entertain viewers. You might try communicating your frustration with your asset manager and speak up if the times aren’t productive.

[@mcgoo721]

Just because it didn't work out for you doesn't mean that's everyone's experience. But you don't seem too bright to begin with 😂

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

Why would you say that and not know me or who I am I work on the Shaffer side and been in trucking for 35 years so I kinda think I know a thing or 2 about trucking but thanks for your rude comments

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

Asset manager doesn’t cre unfortunately he thinks my mileage is good I just changed to mid south regional now at .59 cents a mile on Schaefer side let’s see how that goes on a good run now hopefully it goes well and different asset manager I did use yall as a referral hopefully you got it they didn’t tell me if y’all did I have talked to other drivers and they said they were doing good to so hopefully with new asset manager things get better

[@KevinHensley-mo1ju]

I mdont mean no disrespect to you or your husband he is actually the reason I switched to Crete / Shaffer I watched y’all’s videos and have seen your income videos I’m hoping things get better soon or maybe I need to switch to Crete side and again I did use yall as a referral hopefully they gave y’all the bonus and a penny a mile
