Best city truck in the fleet 😎👊🏻

[@paulbrown8370]

Chuck, I would rather do delivers instead, that is why i liked doing truck load work, i didn't have to mess with running to a hundred different places. When i did local work, i always did delivers, that was fine by me. Seems like many many years ago now, i am 72 and 100% disabled from Vietnam now.

[@exodusfromearth6883]

I dont miss the worn out pallet jacks

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Mine has definitely seen it’s better days

Thanks Chuck!

[@kongfeh]

Thank you for the great video, the best entertainment after a hard day at work! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Much appreciated 👊🏻

[@timothybellavita]

Hey chuck like others I’m a retired truck/ bus driver of 47 years, now my grandchildren and I enjoy your videos. I recently told a friend about your channel they watched it several videos and now they are going to apply to etes. I did it all LTL, P/D OTR, then finished my career as a bus driver. Look luck and keep the videos coming, my granddaughter loves when you laugh it just cracks her up.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

That’s Awesome, thank you for all your service

[@ch1cken460]

Another great video..

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

[@TravisGinther]

Another great video Chuck as always. Great content from your #1 fan

[@johnmell2170]

Love the channel Chuck!!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thanks John 👊🏻

[@collio58]

I’ve got to give you props for the videos you post. I am in the final week of my CDL course in no small part because of you. I’m hoping to work beer delivery to get a few months of experience under my belt and would love to move to P&D later as that’s closer to my previous experience with straight trucks. Thank you for sharing these videos and being excited about your career!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I appreciate the kind words, LTL is a great place to drive and I hope the videos show you enough insight so you can make the best decision possible. Much success to you Daniel!

[@ShawnTheDriver]

Sitting here in Tennessee waiting on Love’s to finish working on my trailer, and then I see Chuck has uploaded. This will help pass the time! 😁

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

😂😂 hope you get to rolling soon!!

[@tneal245]

Great content 😎💯. Keep it coming. Makes my day😎😎

[@stevenbelsky1652]

Chuck I noticed on your vans it says lift here does Estes ship any of their trailers by rail. I noticed fed ex and ups and xpo ship alot by rail

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

They do ship some by rail not allot.

[@standardnerd9840]

My Traffic Mgr loves Estes for LTL. I see your trucks at my spot daily. I'm in IT but I'm fascinated by logistics. You guys keep everything moving! Thanks!

[@Zachafinackus]

I do gotta say, Estes does good work. I don't work directly with the company, but I do work in appliance logistics and we contract with you guys up in the PNW and it's always easy (if a bit lengthy, but that's a problem with our system lol) when we need to get PRO numbers to track down shipments. Way better than other P&D companies we use around the country.

[@ohiovoodoo5479]

thanks chuck for letting me ride along again. be safe out there my friend. i did my time on the dock of a R&L company for many years . now im a school janitor . till next time O.V. in ohio

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Thanks for stopping by the channel 👊🏻

[@rdtruckinguk8532]

Great videos as always sir. I’ve finally done it! Back to driving full time next week myself, cannot wait to get behind the wheel again! You videos and others I watch on KZbin have kept me going and given me the drive I needed to follow my dreams. Thanks Chuck, stay say and keep on trucking!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Welcome back

[@truckingwithtramjam]

I know the third place, they make and ship countertops for QuikTrips. I use to hit them when I was with SEFL.

[@correynathan285]

096 here … I understand your pain lol 😂

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Always good to hear from a teammate 👊🏻. I have been to your terminal on the XB great terminal.

[@TruckFan542]

Another nice video. Looking forward to it.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

👊🏻

[@ronniecollins1808]

I was wondering why I saw the totes on the trailer and no numbered placards on the trailer. Unless you had something else that was corrosive and not them.I am a retired driver of 42 years of p&d and I loved it most of the time.

[@rodneystavedahl1168]

Thinking the same thing.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Those were salt water totes hazmat was a drum further in the trailer 👍🏻

[@brandonguillory242]

great video sir

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

👊🏻

[@dand3975]

Love watching Chuck back a 53' trailer into all the small loading areas and docks. Them doubles on LTL seemed like lot of work, and they don't back up.

[@davidhill4711]

Enjoy riding along with you and the different challenges you face. Thanks for sharing

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I appreciate you riding along!!

[@sonnygreen9698]

Just in time, my terminal is short on help so I’ll be doing some P&D work to help out for the next few weeks, it will be something different and experience I can add to my resume for sure but the analogy you used between the two is going to be a big help, thanks brother !!! Hope all is well, it’s been a while since I have had the chance to sit down and watch one of your vids, god bless and be with you and yours always !!

[@BringBackMasculinity1987]

Hey man, I see you're back on the P&D side..

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Helping for 6 months then going back to LH.

[@hansgugel2275]

What's the stickers for ??

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

They are called pro stickers they help track the freight

[@fredricksproulls2665]

That's a good way to explain delivery. That's kind of cool. Have a safe trip my friend I enjoy your videos

[@onequick5o]

Deliveries, you are up against the clock big time. Once all the stops are off, you can finally breath and relax a bit, take your time and enjoy the job!

[@MrBigrigdaddy]

Thanks Chuck.

[@jerrychristensen9219]

Good information thanks!!

[@motrainman4790]

2 things you should get an air horn for your truck Then do you always have the same pallet jack or do they stay with the trailer

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

We use the same pallet jack daily but trailers change.

[@supertruckertom]

Back in the city? What happened to extra board?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I guess you missed the prior vlog explaining all of that.

[@mikerichard-FOPA3]

Chuck when the video first started I thought we were on the road again. Another great video to ride in the jump seat. Thank You!!

[@michaelhawks5683]

Keep up the good work young man

[@waynewalker8603]

[@jeffdanielspoker6717]

Shouldn’t it be LTTL since it’s less than truck load ?

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Too many T’s 😂 doesn’t sound as good.

[@judgementscanedian8985]

that place you deliver to the yellow building with big door. Anyways, those two cars are they any good or totaled? \

[@geraldjones8032]

Enjoy your video. How long did it take you to get the backing of the trailer almost perfect every time.. You do a great job.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

When you back 20 plus times a day the practice definitely helps sharpen your skills 👊🏻

[@mikeaikman8545]

Hit the nail on the head with deliveries compared to pick ups…I totally agree…I much rather do pickups

[@mikeaikman8545]

Chuck, I don’t know how it is at your terminal, but another major issue with deliveries is that the routers at least at my terminal DO NOT load the trailers in a good rhythm and load appointment freight loaded near or at the nose of the trailer…trailers aren’t swept out prior to loading…any little debris on the floor of the trailers can cause the pallet jack wheels to lock up and I know a few guys who are on light duty because of it

[@mikedarr7723]

The real fun starts when you have to blend delivering and picking up freight because of early closing times. You have to run the route like that old game Spirograph. I'm lucky because I've had my route for over 10yrs. In Sandusky Ohio where Cedar Point is. Summers are really Busy

[@mikeaikman8545]

@@mikedarr7723 exactly right

[@dalekoch4398]

Wow! Never thought about it that way Chuck. Interesting 🧐

[@billlevassiur8274]

Do you get the same trailer every day, or does it change ? Chuck, you make it look easy. Thanks for the ride.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

We get different trailers, would be nice to keep the same one but never happens.

[@interestingcomments5178]

Always wondered the difference in pay between this and line haul

[@kellyshultz8103]

I have a question have you got an email from Matt Shultz I sent a pic of my truck 2 weeks ago and it hasn’t been featured just wanna make sure I sent it

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I have hundreds of photos it will make it at some point

[@kellyshultz8103]

@@TheTulsaTrucker Ok

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Do you decide which businesses you hit first or does Estes tell you a particular order for pick ups and deliveries

[@diggy794]

You pretty much are on your own except for early closers, closing times are on your handheld.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

We make the decision

[@DoubleKlutch99]

Just got my CDL on Monday, starting P&D with my LTL company on next Monday, We have a few more City ride-a-longs this week, and then graduation and into the city on our own. You're videos helped me look forward to this career!

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Much success to you 👍🏻

[@danabbott2398]

I always gave drivers a hard time for the paint scratches on new pallet forks or skidloader buckets. Like 10 minutes on the job and you wouldn't recognize them as new.

[@3ddgemi997]

Downside of pnd, day time traffic, you see more rude 4 wheelers than otr, some receivers think you have all the time in the world to wait for them to get a signature, where i used to work they expected you to make priority deliveries within a certain time frame it was ridiculous to deal with every shift. Youre home every afternoom but a everyday it could be a good or annoying adventure

[@myronbedner989]

Do you get a full load after all your pick-ups? Just asking

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

Yes

[@fredricksproulls2665]

Sir I have a question? Do you do pick up and delivery at the same time or you do pick up one day and delivery the next

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I don’t like working around freight so get it all delivered then start pickup’s

[@Hurricane96]

Hey Chuck how does seniority work at Estes? Hire date overall or when you transfer to the department.

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

It’s by your time in category 👍🏻
