I think those cars were flashing because of the cow outside the fence

[@LarryMyster]

I agree

[@SteveSnowGO]

🐄

[@matt_waddy]

I can't believe that thought never crossed his mind. It's not just done for cops, but for any hazard.

[@kkenneth100]

Poor guy, kI don't think it's crossed his mind yet. Probably up tight about that curvy road!!!

[@trucker-jogi]

Agree cause after he passes them cows no flashing

[@nikkob1252]

Honestly if I was in one of those cars following you I might be a little annoyed but I think a bigger part of me would just be impressed watching you take all those corners

[@yakzivz1104]

we honestly hate when car drivers get stuck behind us. If there is enough room on the shoulder, I try to flash my lights and move over a little so the car driver behind me can go around me safely. Unfortunately, a lot of these state highways don't have enough shoulder for us to do that though.

[@GamerMason123]

Yeah it was so beautiful I wouldn't complain either.

[@Random_Ritchie]

My guess is they were flashing their lights for the cow outside the fence. Or they were flashing their lights because the school bus might have been stopped picking up kids with red lights flashing around the turn. Nicely done, great driving. Dave, stay safe

[@HiztoryNDAmakin]

The flashing was probably for the cow,. Here in Colordo, we also flash for wildlife on the road.

[@ooinvsaoo]

I agree. We do it for deer and bear in PA..

[@boobtubeakatv1296]

WHY flash a BIG rig ??? I've watched several bounce off my bumpers with a bit of a bang, plop plop... 😮 😂 You 4 wheeler's definitely need to duck a bit... Flashing tells me to blink each time while smh at ya... Get the grapes ready to sail out the window as you pass by too 😅

[@anthonyd5189]

@@boobtubeakatv1296 There were cars behind the truck.....

[@sam_thomas]

Next episode: Dave drives up the Tail of the Dragon 😂

[@chrischerilla6494]

I'm on roads like this everyday, delivering corrugated drainage pipe. I've delivered to some of the craziest places on some of the narrowest roads. You did good driver!!

[@lmao7183]

Now take that road at night during a rain storm with heavy fog. :P

[@TheLoneWolf276]

Super trucker alert this man works 72 hours in a day.. back when he started you used a log book for toilet paper

[@tommycreamer2001]

Could have been flashing because of the cow

[@whatsthechannelnamex]

Wytheville.....withville pronounced. Hiawasee pronounced hiwasee. You're in my back yard! Very sharp curves, be very careful cause we don't put curve signs up, you either slow down and safely go around the curve or you go other the cliff. Pick your poison lol. This was cool watching you drive this road we drive on. Safe travels friend!

[@davidrains9899]

A road like that will keep a driver on his toes for sure, it was a great vlog

[@boobtubeakatv1296]

More like puckered up 😮😂

[@OneEightySeven211]

Love your videos Dave! Always amazes me the difference between our roads and trucks in Europe/UK vs USA. I deliver to a lot of farms and small industrial areas which are only the width of the truck itself in the UK! These roads seem like the dream to us, but I can imagine it is quite the challenge with 53' trailers plus the real estate pulling it! Safe drives Dave!

[@Andy-pr5be]

Push better legislstors and road construction

[@FrisbeeArt]

I wish we had more cabover semi trucks in the US, they’re sick for smaller roads

[@BerraLJ]

I deliver with a box truck to many private residences with roads that are very tight, and trees i hit a lot with a height of 4.25m

[@SH2-136]

Lol "the real estate pulling it" made me laugh, it's so true.

[@jackklingen4728]

those roads were certainly not designed for a semi. Would definitely not want to run through there at night. Safe travels Dave.

[@robinl.7948]

Id say it would be easier to judge if there were any oncoming vehivles, as you can see headlights

[@whatsthechannelnamex]

Right there on your right is a small gas station, that bridge is called Lighthouse bridge. They have THE BEST hot dogs and hamburgers and fries you will ever have. Down to the right is where Hoover color was. Takes you back to the New River.

[@denzzlinga]

Looks like a normal road to me as a german :D With absolutely 0 traffic. We´ve got some way worse ones, in the mountains, single lane roads with passing sidings every now and then.

[@buc-da-gamer6423]

Man this has got to be the most entertaining video I've seen on KZbin in a long time! Mad props on the driving skills. I've never driven professionally but my uncle taught me to drive semis so I have nothing but respect for you truck drivers!! Definitely getting a sub my guy

[@jameskittrell4970]

Great video Dave enjoyed the story time with Dav and on the flashing I think they were kind of warning you about the cow that was outside the gate. Just a thought.

[@luisbarrios4430]

Not gonna lie this had me nervous 😂😂 I’ve been through some tight roads but not like that one, I try and stay on Main highways😂😂

[@dantimber]

Backing a trailer is a skill that many people can never learn. I learned early in life but will only do it with small trailers. Doing what you do is daunting. Respect!!

[@kadeemgordon2776]

A lot of love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 Dave this video was very interesting seeing those very tight roads, the roads here in Jamaica is also very tight in the country areas.

[@watermelonbleach]

Always love how other drivers flash their lights to warn that there is a cop lol. Thanks for the video Dave!

[@ilovechieftains]

This time it was for the cow that was out

[@pzarollfiend]

@@ilovechieftains I didn't see my ex wife though

[@robertknapp7371]

Flashing because of cow that was probably closer to the road before you got to it

[@Blakeslifeadventuers]

I fell like that’s every road in the US love the videos ❤

[@Brew20mjo]

Just remembered watching this video that we need the turn cam back!! Especially on that tight bridge turn

[@ryry47ftw]

clutch load high prob means the clutch is starting to overheat due to what it was dealing with, speaking of clutch, will your company put u in a manual yet lol I wanna see some shifting

[@Zerohero247]

Notification squad where you at🇨🇮

[@weskoob5045]

when your in the back roads and have nothing to say you just gripe about peoples driving😂

[@ICREFAN_OFFICIAL]

dave the cars were likely flashing the lights at you for the cow the broke out of it's pasture but wouldn't using the 4 ways signal other drivers that there is nothing else you can do to speed up? also what engine does your truck have?

[@sjgoode6590]

Reminds me of the country two lane roads in Kentucky! Great video Dave!

[@robervin9107]

Please tell me we get part two of this omg it was awesome you did magnificent bud you did the breathing Exercises the whole time and everything these backroad ones are my favorite by far. Love you bud. ❤

[@stephondockery2333]

There’s a pilot up the road from there towards i77 it’s bigger but gets packed quickly

[@r.five.3]

Dave: Oh theyre all flashing me there must be a cop Also Dave: LOOK A COW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE... wheres that cop...

[@Poppy_love59]

Dude, I live in the backwoods of Missouri. If you're on a paved road out here in the country, we call that a two lane highway !

[@astranautica]

you remind me of my late uncle, thanks for giving amazing content, especially love watching your videos while playing ATS, you've actually taught me a few cool things that I could apply in game. Keep doing amazing.

[@nudesforjesus]

I wonder if they were flashing you about the cow that was on the wrong side of the fence.

[@thebabno]

that's what im thinking too, Maybe it was standing in the road but by the time Dave got it, it was back in the grass

[@congaman100]

It's pronounced 'with-ville. It' s hi-a-was-e. I grew up between Wytheville & Bristol.

[@edwardbock2957]

COW! That’s why they flashed ya

[@brian12171]

Dave. Good job you made it in one piece. Try sliding your tandems all the way forward for those tight roads. You will have less off track that way.

[@Kyfam_vlogs]

I'd imagine They were flashing their lights because of the cow you saw on the other side of the fence, Iv warned people with my lights due to loose cows, wrecks and cops ahead.

[@NightmareRestStop]

We do atleast 60mph on these roads in the uk

[@jerrysmith4974]

They was probably flashing for the cow being outside the fence

[@billfryer5911]

I prefer the Pilot on the other side because DUNKIN'! 😄

[@borednapoleon5296]

I'm a dollar general driver under Werner.... Man some of these DG stores are in HORRIBLE locations ..... try backing a 53ft trailer in a small DG parking lot full of cars 😭

[@TheLoneWolf276]

Exactly why I declined DG driving accounts.. I know their a pain

[@stevenprieto87]

Same but im with Cr England the worst part is everybody constantly passing while your backing it's so frustrating

[@txtruckergilman5600]

The cars flashing their light is probably because of the cow that might have been to close to the road. Sometimes for deer close to the road. Not necessarily because a cop.

[@bill360]

Probably flashing because of the cow on the wrong side of the fence

[@FastHouseGaming]

Even tho its a tight road, they are fun to drive. Ive actually been enjoying these vlogs and i usually dont watch trucking vlogs. Ive been subbed for 3 years now. And i enjoy every video. If you ever had the chance would you go drive in the U.K Or germany? or in better words trucking over yonder seas.

[@JudithBrummett]

My husband and I were on a road last year that had THREE! Semi turnarounds that was made on side of the road to get you around this 2 mile area. Cars can get through but Semis are routed onto these uturn areas in order to be at the right angle to make the turn. Shew never want to be on that road again. It was in NC/VA area

[@ShawDaddy]

They flashed you cause of the cow

[@TexFedboi]

Flashing there lights due the Cow... we do this in texas when cattle get out to warn drivers

[@bobbykennedy4274]

That driver got his license through SWIFT

[@evelynstclair8886]

LOVE your channel Dave; this vid was a trip down memory lane for me. My family is still down in that area & Wytheville is ‘town’. BTW, it’s pronounced ‘Wiffel’, like Wiffel-ball. Welcome to the New River Valley where the hills go straight UP from the river 😂. You did good 👍

[@rodneybarrack1851]

I lived over in Giles county and laughed when I heard his pronunciation. I have and have always heard other NRV folks pronounce it “with-vul”. Depends on how slow or mumbled it’s said to how one hears it reckon. Lol

[@erniebowling4164]

They were flashing you because of the cow. They do that down that way

[@Jens.M]

Ohh man I would love to see you driving back on that road!

[@asleepcloud]

It didnt register for me that the flashing lights were for the cows either lol

[@charlesmilton8146]

Iv delivered a lot in Virginia. Some of those roads are beyond crazy. For what it’s worth I delivered in a 53 foot trailer with a sleeper in a sub division

[@bufferbuffer7320]

In Europe, these would be normal roads to drive a semi on😅

[@KyleHaines615]

[@garystewart2350]

Hi Dave. Great video! I drove commercial bobtails for 35 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I did home deliveries for a cabinet company they always sent me on their toughest deliveries. I would have to drive on mountain roads that most drivers wouldn’t even try. This video brought back many memories of nightmare deliveries I did. Thanks!

[@freightliner2032]

so many shenanigan's in this video🤣

[@Hillbilly-mgjwv]

WHY-theville, or as some pronounce it Wiffle.

[@tylerdelp9716]

As someone who visits Wytheville daily, Wiffle is the correct way to pronounce it haha

you have to watch for cows

[@SLAPDOORS]

You'd love Australian roads lol one lane here seems like your whole road XD

[@SPPhotography89]

many european counry too.

This is normal in eu

[@carlosmorenojr9725]

Did you fart at 15:00

[@CountrysLife]

I know there's a Y in Wytheville but it's pronounced WITH-VILLE. Stay safe bro

[@ScottZane]

I've ask always pronounced Wytheville the same way that you're pronouncing it here. But it seems everybody else pronounces it "with-ville". I don't know which one is proper, but food for thought: the people who live in that part of the country aren't exactly poster children for speaking proper English. I hate roads like those. My company does pickups at the Tyson plant in Noel, MO. The roads we use to get there look just like what you dealt with here. It's not a fun experience seeing another truck coming at you from the other direction on those roads. It's either put your right side tires onto the grass/dirt/gravel (or nearly), or risk having your left mirrors taken out by the other trucker's left mirrors.

[@jamiegriffin5611]

🐄🐄🐄 Damn, flashing because of the damn cow!! It was your side of the road. 🐄🐄🐄

[@kevinbaker2054]

Creative parking?? How long are you sitting at the payline....? And you shouldn't have pulled out till you knew the road was clear...

[@pzarollfiend]

I love these videos because I adore all the beautiful trees along the road, and I think Dave has an amazing voice that would be great for podcasts. It's truly a perfect video structure to forget all that plagues the mind so I can relax.

[@markvolker1145]

it is funny listening to highway drivers bitching about tight roads, snow, mud, ice, heavy loads, ect... Try offroad trucking!

[@wukilla8ee]

I had my truck GPS take me on a "shortcut" thru WV on I believe it's route 60 called Midland trail. Don't ever take that route!! It was terrifying!!!

[@00blevin2]

its pronounced With-Ville (if your talking about Wytheville) I live down here, small town, but fun🤷🏻‍♂️ Love the content though man

[@shhmule]

Why would you take a long-nosed truck with a semi-trailer on such a narrow road? Your company should be using cabover trucks, such as Scania, DAF, Iveco, Isuzu, Hino. And you should be using a truck-trailer or b-double which is articulated and can turn much tighter. Towing a 43' rigid trailer with an alread long tractor unit is madness.

[@EMANUELE316]

I park at the Circle K a lot. When full, 2-4 trucks will park behind building/dumpster. Pepsi always an excellent place to drop/hook. Their organized!

[@shogomadBFG]

I drove a Mixer for 31 years(Same Co.). I didn't have a long trailer behind me but I had your Weight(Mostly) and I'd have to drive curvey roads like that up steep grades and half the time on dirt. That's our job(was), getting the Product to the Customer Safe and on Time. Always fun watching your Vids Dave, nice Driving.

[@MRFizzler1]

Bro, i always thought american trucks had more HP than European ones... Just because most of your cars and stuff have bigger enginers / more HP then ususal European cars... but man u guys mostly got like 550 hp trucks and europeans are like 770 hp. I drove trucks for 2 years and watched alot of Videos lately, most of those turns werent even that hard with the European shorter trucks.. but since your trucks wheelbase is so long, u have a bit low hp for hills and ur trailer is longer, this rly got an adventure. Loved the Video, keep it up :D

[@achaosg]

You're in Wi-th aka Wythville, VA. The pilot across the street with the Arby's has better parking I might add, stop there all the time when I can catch Arbys open. I been thru some messed up roads in VA and WV in a Big Truck. Born and Raised in Roanoke though. Just never jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway. =D Their are a few paper places that are two lane like this, narrow and the road has a weave in it as far as elevation goes and will kick your trailer left or right like it wants to roll it over. A good example is I95/US58 like you're headed to Norfolk/Williamsburg, VA. The first ten miles of the road is narrow and will throw your trailer all over the road. The first two bridges I take both lanes to cross them so the trailer doesn't smack the bridge. You gotta just take your time based on the load and your driving experience. I also recommend to slide your tandems on the trailer further back so the trailer takes a bit longer to track on roads like this because as you see, it can be tight or will cross over the double yellow more so than not. Their are far worse Roads in VA that are truck routes with much steeper hills. I couldn't imagine doing this in an automatic either, yuck! That jake brake seems weak as well. I may have even delivered to this place before, looks familiar. I been driving part time while switching at a warehouse the last three years, so for bolt cutters...... Never spend 60bucks on a pair, just grab a 20-30 dollar pair that is sharp, they can be re-sharpened. Going full time back on the road here in the next few weeks, maybe I shall see you out there.

[@morrismclean3584]

So what would you say to this one, on these pages? - Macquarie Pass in a T600 Kenworth part 1. There is also a part 2, which is worth a view, or two. Please keep in mind Australia, conforms to the - original - ancient, convention, as to which side of the road, one passes oncoming traffic. I'm sure most think of Australia as straight, wide flat roads.

[@tomrubis5001]

Threading the needle, only with an elephant instead of a Gixxer. Not a bad job of handling those curves, and got a kick out of the pick-up driver who waited for 90% of your trip to finally pass you!😄

[@C1Ksdafafdsa980ufsd]

Looking in the back of the trailer, it only looked like a couple of pallets. Not sure of the weight, but couldn't it be transferred onto a 20' trailer + daycab? Or even a hot-shot pickup?

[@ShevieMine]

Try the 199 and 197 through the redwoods in Northern California.

[@jayman6169]

Those roads aren’t nothing compared to the roads I have to drive with a dump trailer at 117000lbs.

[@Mark3nd]

This is just my input: If you're making a wide turn on a narrow road, the best thing you can do is use your horn. If of course it's an empty opposing lane. I don't get why it's not part of the DMV of "lessons on the road". Maybe it should be implemented

[@mikeahs06]

I drive local/regional with different customers weekly. Northern Alabama I've been covering for Montgomery and some of these places are ppls houses on small roads and driveways. No truck signs and low power lines but it's a paying customer so I gotta figure it out and unload it with a pallet jack in gravel, dirt, clay lol always a good time lol

[@insidethefire1]

they were prolly flashing you because of the cow. my area will flash for deer/wildlift crossing the backroad highway, and cops.

[@michaelfernald2759]

Dave, how did you not put 2 and 2 together to realize the flashing of the lights was for the Cow on the wrong side of the fence. Flashing doesn’t always mean a cop 👮‍♀️ is near.

[@tujohnboy]

You should see deals gap hwy 129 Tn, seen trucks navagate that. Crazy.
