[@royr5527]

The best type of trucking is being alone.

[@glenevans1527]

Id say so so! Bridges everywhere!!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

😁😁😃

[@gord2358]

Texas loves its' overpasses. When I was in Houston I coined the phrase Concrete Ribbons in the Sky.

[@johnmagill7714]

There is a lot of that Concrete Spaghetti with a side of Asphalt in the DFW area. If you don't pay attention, you could be halfway to OKC, El Paso, San Antonio or Houston before you realize it. I live just east of there Off I-20. Been going through DFW since before I-20 looped around south of DFW. It went straight through the middle. of DFW, not fun. This is above excellent traffic for that area. You know your channel is the only trucking channel I watch anymore. All the others bailed without saying a word. Be safe on your travels.

[@foxtrot684]

That scale is ridiculous, it does the same thing to me every time I go that way.

[@davidskinner274]

US highways and city bridgees, exits etc, very similar to here in Australia, except we drive on the left

[@philglover2973]

Awesome video thanks for your time and consideration top job top team love from England 🇬🇧🚛🇬🇧🚛

[@jstrucker6670]

New subscriber here, trucking for three years now. Love your videos.

[@johncraig8919]

I remember those days over the road now i am basically by myself on twelve hour shifts driving in a20 square mile area with a 2-way and serious XM radio In truck.

[@iandrew6347]

Amazing video as always stay safe watching from the U.K.

[@tinacrisp7946]

Just a fyi. If you pop your brakes on scale it makes you heavier. They have to be flat so just put in neutral and take foot off brake.

[@geraldjones8032]

Great video this morning. Enjoyed the trip. Would not like all that freeway in Dallas. I would hate to have to drive that every day. When I lived in California I did not enjoy driving in all the traffic. I understand it worse now . Enjoy the rest of your day and be safe.

[@jimb3541]

Oh, I live in socal. It's bad. You are not missing the traffic.

[@christinajohnson9120]

Wow that's awesome considering all the construction.

[@donmunro144]

Nice to see some grass. I'm in the middle of Iowa on a Seattle to Newark turn. Had 1degree when I left South Dakota this am. Be safe and happy trucking.

[@nfluganda4858]

Enjoying the trip with you guys... Its fun. Good camera work..

[@ninonicebx]

I'll be out there in the next few months once I take my cdl. We will meet out there one day.

[@JayP8732]

Nice view at the scale 😂

[@daleberry3394]

Love the music..!!! Can’t wait to get behind the wheel myself soon…i retired for 10 years (early) and now it’s hard to get anyone to look at me because of my lack of 3 years work history

[@josephsmith2084]

It’s true!!! The higher the weigh station, the lighter the load! 😂😂

[@charlessnouffer6261]

some time back when you were in lansing mi looking for an enmpty trailer at meijer d.c. its pronounce myer..............we have four of thier stores here in fort wayne and they are fantastic..........love the videos but tonya you need to lay off the caffine and the pixie dust just a bit.........but you do add some comic relief...........love the vids please keep them comming....thanks a bunch........charlie

[@richardplunk3910]

welcome to my home town, Dallas 👍🍺be safe on your travels 🙏

[@MrJohnnyboy67]

You guys are funny. I enjoy how you keep it real.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

😊 Thank you! Glad you enjoy our shenanigans!

[@thedale2112]

The bridges were wild indeed. But, that bump! Damn! Do I ever know how that feels these days!😂 As always, travel safely ✌🏼...

[@manco828]

It's a freightshaker.

[@bostarbird5282]

My wife always call Texas the land of bridges.

[@dskoi7358]

We love our fly-overs in DFW. They are the best for interstate connections. You have to try the High- 5 where I635 and I75 come together

[@davidalread8194]

I ADD ANTIFREEZE TO MY BLINKER FLUID TO HELP KEEP THEM FROM FREEEZING UP.........😁

[@rebeccamayers2056]

Glad you had a safe trip.

[@johncraig8919]

Different time of day and week

[@stevenrose4041]

Love the channel guys....keep the content coming

[@abathens]

I've been to Dallas a couple times. They have some impressive roads and bridges. Way more than in metro Atlanta, which is where I live.

[@iandrew6347]

Happy Friday 1st 😅

[@darkastaroth1]

Hi Tania and Kevin, love your videos, quick ? Why does Kev use two Garmins, I use two gps as well but one is a Rand 1050 and the other is the OTR800, love both of the features they offer, and the neat thing is that they dont talk over each other. Just wondering what does he use two of the same for.

[@geoestrada5001]

Some Dot scales aren’t correct and I myself scale the right way to avoid problems with Officers,

[@gordondonahue4810]

What is Kevin always munching on?

[@carmineromano7400]

Hey I thought I heard you pull your breaks while on scale..just an FYI.. not a good thing to do.. DOT don't like that.

[@wolfsquared]

have you tried the cruise control in stop start traffic yet? it can fully stop and start truck while maintaining propper distance

[@donstewy5584]

Nice video just curious what makes a good startup when looking for a mega carrier?

[@brucemarshall9396]

Beautiful scenery..

[@dannyorr3720]

Texas God's country 👍🙏😁

[@curtis7599]

So I guess God's country is the Gulf, the swamps, the plains, the forests, the hills, the deserts, and the mountains. Texas covers all of those regions when it can be snowing in Amarillo while there is a hurricane in Galveston.

[@michaelzammit8829]

Australia is GOD'S country

[@thedale2112]

Which one? There are thousands...

[@eagle25311]

Curious question. Why pull the brakes when sitting on the scale? I just keep service brake down only then let up when it's time to move forward.

[@sheikhhusseinabdinur6467]

Hi you"r friend from africa

[@hectorgarcia-zv1wi]

Did it say pull your parking brks..? And stop

[@davidebasinger2997]

Does he seem like he doesn’t want her there in the truck?

[@jasonbrickman8065]

How come the videos are from a few months ago? Do you archive videos? The last video said Happy Thanksgiving which was months ago.

[@jamesmcgee2447]

👍🏻

[@gallivant2023]

You guys are planning to team driving?

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Nope. I (Tanja) am not interested in driving. I'm the KZbin part of the team. :-)

[@insaneivan100]

Hello sir by any chance where you and you’re wife at the Pilot by thousand palms, CA? She was trying to back into a parking space and I told you I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time so I moved ?

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Nope that definitely wasn't us. I (Tanja) do not drive the truck. But how nice of you to move to make things a bit easier for another driver! Kudos to you!!

[@kevinscott6393]

Why you set your brakes???

[@curtis7599]

Algorithm

[@michaelwallace7192]

At least your truck has not left you straned like that t680 that jbg travels has he lost all of his coolinant

Rapture took place

[@jeepcj7909]

on glad hands once connected run electrical tape over where two meet it’s just extra safety thing makes little harder for them separate.If you notice driving you will see lot skid marks then guard rail smashed it’s from glad hand coming apart then truck thinks trailer disconnected trailer brakes lock up making driver crash .Another thing grease fifth wheel also take pb blaster lube all pivot points under it over time rust doesn’t let release handle go in fully you have to push it met two drivers one trailer dropped way out pilot lucky going slow no damage but could not get fifth jaws lock mechanism pivots for jaw lock rusted lubed then worked same with other driver trailer would not release fifth wheel and hoses most important part along with steering components brakes I was mechanic before driving so I notice things like this most driver will say something stupid never had problem so that mean’s no one does.You two want more views make some videos in depth gps using detour mode route planning shaping route if road closed or you don’t like route using google to plan road to docks keep up nice videos be safe

[@51AB]

I bet he is wishing he was alone. If I was in a cab with my wife nattering on like that for hours on end I would leave her at a truck stop. 😂😂😂🥴😜

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

To each their own. 😁

[@51AB]

@@TheJoyofTrucking I'm just poking fun! Great videos.

[@cheswic]

No gloves no loves!🤣🤣
