We let all the trucks skip us in line

[@desmar1968]

When I drove tarped loads here in Canada, I used a Cordless Leaf Blower to clean off and dry off tarps as much as I could before folding them especially in the winter time to avoid them from freezing up with ice.

[@SouthGeorgiahotshot]

That’s a great idea!

[@michaelsorrentino9279]

Always wish you both the best!! ps. I have 4 bumpers for your trailer new never used.

[@jamesbigham9036]

Robert I agree they need more trucking centers like that for drivers. Since truckers keep this world revolving and keeping everything open and running

[@danvain]

They? If you see a business opportunity...build one.

[@gkenn99]

There would be more truck stops if they were profitable. If truckers would spend money at the truck stops, other than fuel, there would be more of them. There are no shortages of businesses that are profitable.

[@SouthGeorgiahotshot]

There’s lots of truck stops. So they have to be profitable. Not profitable to give stuff away but they could do better

[@nofearbenyahsonofyah9743]

I’m a flat bed nation wide trucker . I really enjoy watching your videos. Great job guys 💯💪🏽

[@JoeisHungry]

dude, keep em cranking, I think I will shout you out again, in the video after this one coming

[@larrycobb3102]

Great video Lita, Robert. It was nice that you let the other drivers go ahead of you. It was beautiful weather here in Central Georgia today. You guys stay safe out there. Prayers ❤.

[@JohnSmith-ug5ci]

In the cold wet climates once you roll up your dry tarps cover them with heavy construction plastic to keep them dry and from freezing while wet.

[@garybailey5218]

Bless you both and your pups, and thankyou for all you have to endure. We need you, God Bless, Gary

It hit 70 in Middle Georgia today. Watched this video and now I don't want to look at the load board... cause all the better paying loads are going somewhere much colder than here!

[@larrycobb3102]

I was planning on stopping by this evening but I saw that you were out in the pickup. Have a wonderful evening.

[@2020HotShotTruckingLLC]

@@larrycobb3102 I was delayed heading out to get my shopping done. I'll be around in the morning. Hadn't looked for a load yet, just need to get the truck packed up first.

The issue with an ice storm isn't so much slippery roads (they are treated), it's that tree branches ice up and fall on power lines etc. Power lines ice up, get too heavy and fall... untreated roads are an issue too, but the other hazards can be worse.

[@1stlast290]

I live north of there a little. The main roads that were salted were meh but the county roads were sheer ice. No go on them.

[@buddyreed2623]

Hello Lita and Robert. Did you notice the "Donations" box? I know it helps them. Have good days!

[@wendelldolittle5063]

Yeah, Lita’s right! It was the monster!!!! 😳

[@renoflames]

Amazing..

[@rickheiser5292]

Just curious about the water dripping inside the cab. You guys started at Walmart and it was raining and looked like most of the day and no mention of water dripping. Also looks like the temperature was not really cold so what do you think? Really nice of you letting the other trucks unload first as you had time. Yes karma will head your way.

[@albertplowright9852]

Great video guys

[@TheMilkMans]

Yeah I’ve ran into that same thing with my factoring company. Factored countless truck loads and then all of the sudden one day they just said, nope we aren’t factoring these loads. To risky for them apparently. Which I also don’t get, because if they don’t get paid, they just recourse and I end up paying anyway. lol Usually they don’t charge their fee for direct billing.

[@AB-mg5sx]

Yea that’s what I’m confused about, why does it matter about the commodity? they are just financing the rate con amount. Then again I did my research when I looked for a factoring company and RTS was a no go when I read their contract

[@scottbaker1018]

That's why I liked coal bucket loads with dump trailers. It was still some bull to dump the product. But nothing like a deck load

[@timmcdermottgetgf2250]

Hi Robert and Lita

[@99959bill]

Wise Choice !!!! No load is worth a wrecked truck or even a minor bump and for sure injury no matter what it pays....Wise Choice,,,, You are not in the RED and tomorrow is another day !!!!!

[@tonyh.5827]

Hey, I believe the issue with your "herky-jerky" backing can be corrected via computer. I think that a function called, "creep mode", has to be activated through a computer hook-up. Maybe your computer diagnostic device can do it, but you may wanna contact a dealership and ask them about it. I know that it works because I was in a T680 that had the same problem of not wanting to steadily "creep" when backing and would suddenly just drastically "lunge" backwards. We asked a dealership about it, and they said they could correct that issue...and they did. Just explain what is going on (they may not call it "creep mode"). Hope that helps. Doesn't hurt to ask anyhow. Love the vlog~!!! Stay safe out there.

If you would have gotten iced in at Walmart, it would have been the perfect opportunity for the PB&J tutorial video. I still can’t seem to figure it out.

[@SouthGeorgiahotshot]

Haha definitely!

[@dougevans6389]

My buddy had a energy drink and had a stroke!

[@SouthGeorgiahotshot]

How many?

[@antoniocampbell463]

Two videos ago he drank one and I was going to write that a guy that I know drank one and had a massive heart attack and died. Another drank one and looked at his heart pulse on his smart watch and could not believe how high his blood pressure was. Scary part was that he did not notice any signs of high blood pressure.

[@AB-mg5sx]

I eat whole pack of energy gum and 3 16oz Red Bulls during a 10 hour shift driving, but then again in my 20s I’d be up for days on dope so maybe I prepared myself for energy drinks and gum

[@js2743]

Be careful about parking at Walmarts, been seeing the ones in Charlotte NC they have no parking signs, towing company is booting them for $1500 to get let loose.

[@RaoulThomas007]

You need to get approval from the store manager - then you’re good!

[@justinpaone2227]

The eaton 10 speed auto that came in those t680 will throw your back out hooking a trailer lol. But the 12 speed allisons are much smoother and faster at shiftin.

[@RaoulThomas007]

You can convert the 10-speed auto to a manual.

[@justinpaone2227]

i'm sure you can but i drive a company truck. thankfully my main hub doesn't have anything like that. either newer auto's or 10speed manuals. those early auto's were so touchy all or nothing sometimes.@@RaoulThomas007

[@scottreed5460]

If you didn’t book it through Miller then it was double brokered. I ask Andrew at Miller when I seen your first video and they had no idea you guys hauled it, kinda crazy..

[@rrjmjms]

My T680 Cummins 10 speed Eaton auto was difficult too Try to just touch throttle dont press and wait it should slowly engage clutch and be slow but smooth to engage

[@chuckyf-u2395]

I get a kick out of those loads that are supposed to stay dry, but your tarp is full of water and drains all over the load 🤣🤣 Now I know why Lita doesn't say much... Robert don't allow her to talk... he just talked right over Lita 😢

[@Thetruthalwayshurts]

I watch Big Rig Becca and she never shows the issues with tarps. Then I watch you guys and I see what I would assume normal trucking issues.

[@georgestewart4285]

Yeah BRB just lost her job...

I told big rig Becca to run the old Cummins under Roberts Company. She’ll be calling soon Robert

If your truck has hill start assist turn it off while backing. Makes a world of difference.

How it going lita n Robert You want to leave your trailer the way it is and you keep your Tarps , These guys with these Curtain tarp trailers they can not haul what you can haul and what you can do on your open face trailer , They are limited , I hate factoring companies Not to tell you what to do but some advice , You need to get away from them people , and you need to start finding decent brokers and you haul for them and you keep calling them back and you keep letting them know where you are going to go as soon as you get loaded and tell them I need a load once they start understanding that you are going to pull their freight You should not have a problem , If you can do it break away from them slow, I use factoring companies for about 6 months years ago , No more for me , You need to carry some rope with you and the back end of your trailer you should have cross tied it be safe out there take care yourselves
