Dave you look silly walking down the side of the High way, at 3AM, talking to yourself. Everyone thinks your crazy. 🤣

[@GodSaveTheUnitedStates]

Dude, One trucker to another, I work for ALDOT. Please, do not go searching for your tire parts on a dark strech of interstate like you did here. TNDOT has crews that come out and clear rubber from the interstate during the day with all kinds of strobes. I would rather see someones vehicle get damaged then see you get hit by a 70 to 80 mph bullet, besides thats what people pay for road hazard coverage for. Much respect, I love your content. Be safe out there brother.

[@bread9303]

You right ADOT in AZ they told me that too👍👍👍

[@jamesisbrandt]

Yep it’s 10 from truck, 100 from truck then 100 from triangle. Also, one dude is correct, furthest one out goes to inside of shoulder. Middle one goes middle of shoulder and closest one to truck goes on or near rumble strip. That’s to help guide people to move around you.

[@JohnHallgren]

And was he wearing his hi-vis vest while putting them out? Not sure…but definitely a case for using it!

[@neilz9182]

True but hardly anyone pays attention to them anyways lol

[@chasedooley6237]

@@JohnHallgren I’d disagree with the vest. It can make you a target. People tend to drive towards the things they are focused on

[@JohnHallgren]

@@chasedooley6237but if they’re not visible, how would I know to avoid them?

[@chasedooley6237]

@@JohnHallgren Don’t be in a position where you must be avoided. And don’t bet that even if you’re seen, the other driver will recognize the danger and attempt to avoid you. Just count the number of vehicles that pass by Dave while he’s on the shoulder; a lot of drivers don’t pay attention. If they do, they recognize the danger early and move over.

[@TylerTJ]

The Distancing on the Triangles look good, but you put all 3 down on the Rumble Strips. You're actually supposed to stagger them out to where they lead traffic away from the truck. (The farthest triangle from the truck should be closer to the end of the shoulder, the next triangle center with the truck, and the closest triangle near the rumble strip or the driver side of the truck behind the trailer).

[@JohnHallgren]

And even I, as just a viewer, know that’s the proper setup as you described!

[@jessed3884]

I made the same mistake the first time I had to use them. the community here probably helps a lot of youngsters. thank you.

[@GodSaveTheUnitedStates]

Correct. They should all three be able to be seen at the same time. It's called a taper.

[@BamaBoy_Davis]

But as a fellow trucker for 20plus years people don't give A 💩now and days

[@TylerTJ]

@@BamaBoy_Davis Very True, Doesn't matter if the triangles are out or not, If people had it in their hearts to move over and keep you safe, they would.

[@danj4842]

I keep my triangles on the passenger side. Too many drunks, kids on cell phones, and super truckers half asleep for me to stand that close to a travel lane. Glad it worked out for you tho man.

[@stevenbelsky1652]

That's my worse nightmare when I have to tow a truck with a automatic. You have to crawl under the truck to pull the drive shaft

[@Leesboringlife]

I wish I could but the Freightliner I've got doesn't have a side box accessible on the passenger side

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

Dave casually walking a fricken mile for others safety

[@bigjohnnelson2613]

I’m definitely limping to the exit ramp. That extra space can be a lifesaver.

[@skyeram]

You should try and keep all your "emergency type" of equipment you'll feel you'll need, on the other side of the truck. To limit the time you'll spend on the traffic side.

[@ItsLikeFerrari]

Smart idea

[@Leesboringlife]

Very true except not all trucks have a side box accessible from the passenger side (Freightliner)

[@Shouk02]

@@Leesboringlife lots of freightliners have 2 compartments but space in those for any make is entirely dependent on the bunk hvac configuration.

[@Leesboringlife]

@MitchellKeeneyoutube12 , in my case, the company didn't want to purchase the option of having a door on that side. There is no hvac equipment on the right side under the bunk

[@skyeram]

@timeoffwithlee I never really thought of that. The 3 trucks I've owned all have a box on both sides... but now that ya mentioned it, I do recall seeing some kind of vent in place of a door on the passenger side.

[@houstoner]

Being on the side of a highway in the late hours can be sketchy. Stay safe out there Dave! Good placement on triangles, you had a flashlight, and hopefully a reflective vest. I drove a rollback wrecker for years. Some calls were saving people off the highways, it felt good when I got them loaded and to safety, but damn my heart was beating fast and adrenaline off the charts. I've had to jump on my truck a few times. I chewed my bosses butt after one night, he was taking his sweet time getting the hydros on the passenger side fixed. People drive like 💩

[@Cxntrl-r8r]

I can't understand how this dude is never really angry at almost anything

[@kempo_95]

Getting angry is just a waste of energy.

[@sleepyvtek9]

I don't really get angry at stuff too. Getting angry makes you get stressed and stress makes you look older! lol jk.. idk

[@The_One_Over_There]

There was a time, some time ago, Where he got progressively more and more frustrated to a point where you could tell by the tone in his voice that he was really done with a lot of things. But luckily for both him and us, that turned back around some time later

[@jmendozas197]

@@The_One_Over_ThereI remember when he was @ a shipper where all the yard dogs were treating him bad and he was pretty upset by the end cause they were all super rude to him. Not sure if that’s the one you were referring to.

[@The_One_Over_There]

@@jmendozas197 There were a few moment, Not many though. But i i think i know which one you mean. The one that sticks to me the most was the moment where he was near his end with CFI, he was struggling to get a trailer parked in a very small yard, and when he finally did, I remember just hearing in the tone of his voice how utterly beyond done he was. He even slammed the door of the side compartment of the truck after it all. I've never seen or heard him that pissed before or after that.

[@Fearagen]

My dad could tell you a decade's worth story of trailer tires being blown. Happens a lot more than you think. You were lucky this was the first time for you haha.

[@karimelarbi5157]

Dave you should invest in a hi-visibility vest so that during the night when something like this happens you won't get hit by cars in case they have some sort of emergency

[@bapa1]

I'm surprised his company doesn't require the vest. Mine always did, and many shippers and receivers do too.

[@Jtizzle95]

The struggles of a truck driver.

[@kingtrumpet123]

YOU GOT IT Dave, I've blown a steer tire on a dump truck loaded with 20 tons of stone. Just remember, "REMAIN CALM", I had oncoming traffic on the left side, and a drop off into the lake on the other side - NO PLACE to go, and a 3 ft wide shoulder. Just let off the throttle, pump the brakes occasionally, and hang on the steering wheel. You will be fine, and will come to a SAFE stop eventually. Sure lots of smoke and noise from the tire hitting that front fender, lots of brake smoke, all ended well. Fenders are replaceable, people are not.

[@marshagartner9580]

Man Dave, be careful!!!! You are more kind than most truckers!

[@moryanshponda2007]

Regardless of mishaps, you make trucking look really fun! Keep up the great work!

[@chaseschweitzer631]

Hey Dave just a tip from someone that works on the side of interstates. Never put your back to traffic walk around the passenger side of the truck and if you need to be on the driver side walk facing traffic so you can see what's happening

[@justin_main_xd6113]

My job right now is literally to be the guy to come save the day and replace the tires on the side of the road lol. Absolutely love your vids and you are one of my favorite youtubers and one of my inspirations to keep pushing towards my goal of being a driver :)

[@ne9835]

What's it called?

[@justin_main_xd6113]

What's what called lol

[@rycker30]

You are lucky Dave. From Feb of this year to date, I’ve had 5 trailer tires blowout on me.

[@watermelonbleach]

Man id be terrified to sleep on the side of a highway knowing how bad people are at driving. Thanks for the video Dave!

[@somethingepic777]

Hey Dave. That sucks that the tire blew. Glad it was a trailer-tire tho. Hey, ive got a question for all you truckers out there...What percentage of trucks on the road are automatics (as opposed to "standard-"/manual-transmission)?

[@tmo.48]

95% is my guess

[@denzal689]

Most of the time when I see triangles behind a truck, they're all only like 20 feet apart

[@allglorytogod12]

I was about 1/8th of a mile behind a truck that had a blowout. Scared the crap out of me it was so loud. I wasn't sure what had happened until I saw the debris it left in the road.

[@19ScottMcRae85]

I always travel to the nearest truckstop or exit ramp so the mechanic is not put at risk the only time I never drove anywhere on a blowout was when my steer blew.

[@philipkelle8798]

Your check engine light is on Dave

[@doggywufwuf2433]

I can vouch for the Traffic in Nashville as you were literally right down the road from my house!!! I was thinking about a week ago, I wonder if I have ever driven by Dave since I live in his region at Online. Turns out, you came right past my house!

[@jimmyspoon1477]

I appreciate you takin the time to pick all the chunks up thank you be safe ✌️

[@papasmurf5598]

Let me tell you how I would have handled this. If the tire wasn’t blown and you just lost the Cap. Look at your phone and see how far away a truck stop is that fixes Tires. Loves, T/A etc. If its not far I would have rolled onto the truck stop and got it fixed there instead of sitting on the side of the Road putting myself in jeopardy of being hit. Even if the Tire was blown and not sitting on the Rim you can still drive to a truck stop and get it fixed. Ive been driving for 25 years and I will do everything I can not to sit on the side of the road waiting sometimes many hours for someone to come and fix it when I could have just rolled on it 20 miles to a tire shop.

[@johnmcleodvii]

I've seen a far worse place to break down. Just after the merge on a short ramp. We had a bit of a scary moment when the driver stepped from in front of his truck just after my son had floored the car to avoid getting hit by traffic. The driver was able to jump out of the way.

[@robervin9107]

Wow this had everything drama Dave using his confidence He was so calm cool and collected Using his high note. Soo good Love you a lot angel Dave

[@CaptainKneeKnocker]

Loved the moment he said * ppl can blow me if they mad about the cones **

[@AZVIDS]

The gator jumped up into the bushes!🐊🐊🐊

[@jimmypappas9780]

In the future drive to the nearest off ramp shoulder much safer. I don't trust other drivers man

[@jackgreuey1930]

I had my first blowout April this year. There was a rest area close enough that I could roll in there to give the tire guy a safer place to work. Then the next day my reefer blew up spewing fluid all over the back of my truck during the DOT blitz week.

[@femalecrusader8389]

Sorry for the blown tire and thanks for sharing the experience.

[@Uniquelyyours1]

Glad you were ok, Dave. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe.

[@binaryanticommunist1882]

Why not just keep going and find a safe place to stop.

[@jokesonyou5827]

Honestly I don't know anything about where the caution triangles are supposed to be but what you said sounds about right.. it must suck blowing a tire but it's good that it happened at like 2-3am rather than like 5-6-7am where it could of been worse from the debris from the tire. The only thing that matters is that you're ok Dave! But anyway, another entertaining video as always

[@johnheffelfinger3231]

i hope you got your triangles before you left the scene

[@jonnonn8791]

5:45 "that would damage a truck or a car's vehicle." lol

[@Nihil2005]

I’ve had a steer blowout in Bakersfield, CA going 55mph. I just gently let off the throttle and coasted it to the shoulder but I was wrestling with the wheel. It was a stressful experience with all that traffic.

[@stevenayala7398]

Love your videos Dave. I’m in trucking because of you 🙏

[@johnkempter8162]

A little advice dave! If there is no damage to the mud flap or nothing jamed up to keep you from moving you can ease down the road st about 50 mph or so with your 4 ways on and try to get to a truck stop or possibly your delivery spot in dtead of sitting there for hours on the side pf the road Done that many times in my 43 year career and made it to my delivery then called it in.

[@Strasak--]

In my first week out solo a tire on my trailer blew. Then a couple weeks later when I was doing a pretrip I found another trailer tire (a different trailer) with a third of the tread just missing.

[@Justme18407]

How’s Billie Joe doing?

[@elcomandante9299]

A seasoned driver limps it on its way. Perhaps out of Nashville. Tires already effed up. What happened to the Volunteer State?

[@thedriver4038]

Losing a tire is scary. Stay safe, and keep doing you, Dave.

Could’ve been worse if it was a steer tire

[@tmo.48]

That was one SLICK move getting back on the highway!!!!!!!❤

[@Garlicbreadfae03]

Am I crazy and hearing things or did Dave say "Yeah.......blow me" at 3:56 like caught me off guard almost spit food everywhere it was so funny 🤣🤣

[@jarrensanford3825]

Had no idea you were from Mississippi lol. Been watching your videos enjoying them. I’m from the Jackson area.

[@tmo.48]

I realize its an older vid but if it were me I would have most likely taken the next exit and found a safer place to park and call for help. ESPECIALLY around Nashville!!! Would I have been wrong? I may would've been wrong but feeling more secure would've been worth it

[@RedPillAlways]

If you're ever going through Indiana from Louisville via I-65 North when you hit Sellersburg second exit look to your look to your right you'll see Century Industries if it's Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m - 5:00 throw me a Wave.. I used to be a driver then I went back into welding in fabricating(I'm a single dad So driving isn't the best job) at Kentucky Trailers building semi trailers. From the tandem's(we call them Bogie's) crash plates sub-base Landing gear slide rails ect ect and now I'm back at Century Industries.. I saw online trucking Trailer but with a Green Semi.. keep up the work and STAY SAFE..

[@PutDownTheBunny]

I've watched prolly a thousand vlogs from various truckers, but yers are just about the most interesting! The go-pro angle is great. I like yer upbeat chatter, too. My son just earned his CDL and is deciding on a few options, so I watch these and think of him. Keep up the great reports! (p.s. If you never said "BOYZZ" again, I would not be sad 😀)

[@kennykedits]

Thank you for walking and checking for bits in the road, those things make people swerve and crash themselves lol

[@jmendozas197]

I’ve had about 4 blowouts in my 2.5 years of driving. I’m just hoping I don’t experience a steer tire blowout.

[@carolfrazer8067]

Get yourself the Guardian Angels. They work so much better then the triangles. Hop in on the passenger side.

[@antonycharnock2993]

Do you not have the equivalent of the UKs National Highways Agency in the US? They will clean up any blow out debris if its dangerous.

[@threynolds2]

Several of the trucking channels I watch have driven through Nashville, where I work, and I've been looking for them while I'm on the road. I drive this section of I-65 on my way to work around 4:30-4:30 in the morning. What day was this? Did I see you on the side of the road??

[@laughingwolf8711]

I'm surprised there isn’t a cover ot a guard for airline connections under there... just saying

[@faronwhite6483]

To me it don't matter how far they are apart..if drivers can't see reflectors or flashing lights they need to quit driving period...everyone slow down,,duh..commin sense..

[@stevenredman1582]

Unless it's a steer tire or a "super single", there's NO good reason to stop on the berm of the highway. There is an exit a few feet ahead of your truck in that picture you posted with the video. That ramp would be much safer for you, the tire man, and the motoring public in general. If you were the tire man and you have a left side tire that needs changing, would you want to work two feet away from 75 mph traffic whizzing by? And FMCSRs allow you to drive to a safer place if one is available.

[@sethk1698]

Blew a drive tonight and thought of this video 🤣 Figured I'd watch again so I don't feel so alone. Happened in the middle of nowhere in Cali around 6:30 pm. Repair guy can't get to me till tomorrow morning. Loudest thing I ever heard! I blew a trailer tire before it wasn't that loud.

[@tonyburnett2819]

The far left lane at the 65/24 jct is the best in that situation you can still get to 65/40 just loop around the front of downtown Nashville and not the backside. Safe trucking

[@chuckmvs]

Most truckers dont even bother putting out triangles anymore. good deal!!

[@JayCla2212]

I use to live off this exit Dave. This part of the Interstate is vicious lol coming in from the Kentucky area, people speed right on through. Glad you’re safe brother !

[@computernerdtechman]

Dave, did you forget to pickup your reflectors when you moved forward and/or after he changed the tire?

[@mhlongojoshua2279]

Big ups Dave ❤your content vuyo from south Africa 🇿🇦

[@sk8erdude12592]

2:04 Driver, get out of the drive lane making a KZbin video. You can die in a second and KZbin isn’t worth it. Take a video after your tire has been changed or with the roadside team off the road. Also, invest in a quality flashlight and keep it in your door pocket

[@toby7291]

Dave did you pick up your triangles? 😂 I thought when the tire changer called he was going to tell you he had your triangles.. 😂

[@katzsteel]

Retreads should be illegal! As a car driver, it’s very dangerous dodging the spent tires from trailers and such. Also, aren’t regular inspections required for tires? Seems ridiculous.

[@thecoolguy2012]

Hopefully you got all your triangles and didn’t leave them behind

[@nathanatkisson312]

When I messaged you showing you my wreck I thought man I hope he don't have to go through this shit like I have been but I guess your luck was running on empty too lol. I broke my fucking ankle today tarping a load so I think I'm winning on bad luck so far

[@amtraktraveler9118]

Had a recap blow on me today! Sounded like a gun went off busted the plastic mid flap on the freightliner cascadia. It made my butt pucker

[@a-trainandlittlebit975]

During a long wait like this, do you have a chance to try and catch some Z's or would that be frowned upon? Or would it not be helpful?

I know you ride bike dave, think of a bike coming down the road flying by and hits one of them smaller pieces.. Good to see you pick some of them up out the road.

[@Ironhayden8428]

Whenever i had a blew tire. I always go to the exit ramp then get on the on ramp. Its still on shoulder but its not directly on the major highway. Just a thought. Love the videos dave!

[@mikeb129]

Doubt you’ll see this but you should do another q & a video if you have the time. update on your life it’s been 2 years since you did it and obviously stuff has changed (just watched that video 😂)

Dude you made me so nervous when you cleaning the road.I’m sorry but That’s being a idiot. I understand you got good intentions but still not to safe.

Hit a piece of a tire on that same stripe of interstate in my personal truck. Ripped off the rear right air deflector, and bent my fender. Thank you for attempting to clean it up. I’m sure most people wouldn’t.

[@Cdub0619]

This video was recommended and I think I know why. The check engine light was on.

[@MinorLG]

Couple days ago I was driving to work, and passed a truck that was missing the outside dually on the driver's side. And when I say missing, I mean there wasn't a tire there at all

[@henryduke722]

Man I wouldn't worry about getting that crap off the interstate screw that let somebody else do there dam job

[@moetocafe]

Sorry to be that guy, but you were worried about other people being potentially unsafe for you and what do you do next? Cross through the exit shoulder to reenter the highway, on a semi. That is a bit crazy and very illegal. So, pay attention to what you do too. (sometimes I do such kind of things too, so I'm not lecturing you, and I know you are careful, watching 4 eyes open, etc, but still.. we must avoid such things, you know)

[@LordNexusTheFir]

Ive had 3 tires blow on chassis moving rail containers, & 1 time my air lines from the couplings came out. Now the airlines idk wtf did it but driving though the NY i guess the bumbs in the road over time started to unhook my lines! Im in the middle of the lanes & i hear a metal cling, air then trailer brakes slam on! I obviously couldn't just stop in the middle of the 3 lane narrow hwy so I slammed my foot to the floor & dragged that bitch to the narrow shoulder to see my air lines just flipped themselves off. Never seen that happen b4 & didn't understand how tf it happened since its not like the lines were loose. So i grabbed some zip ties & seals & jury rigged some crazy pull down contraption & if I didnt do that it would've happened again once entering NJ again! To this day never seen something like that happen again but it really pissed me off. For tires usually just hear what would sound like a .50 cal if your windows are down & just a gun shot close range if they up. Its not really scary but will immediately pull attention to the direction of the sound. It is scary when another trailer you're behind tire goes 😂 ive jumped b4 as a guy lost his tire as we made a left turn from a light. It happens just put on 4ways & get onto the shoulder call road side to fix it & get paid to sit & wait 😂. 1 time had a inner rear dual blow but the rubber stayed out flinging around the rim, had to limp for a few dozen miles going 50mph since I was literally getting off on the next exit & my drop was 2 or 3 miles off that exit but also my job said I had to get off the hwy for w.e reason. Got out to check it & rubber basically turns into a sledgehammer beating tf out the bumper back there & had it bent & hanging off.

[@Shouk02]

Those wait times are atrocious. My company usually has wait times under 2 hours unless we have a cold snap that gives us tons of gelled fuel.

So many trucks passing by gave me a weird sensation. Everyone going somewhere, life was rushing that night.

[@timdehoogh8441]

I had a tire blow out on my buick century yes I know its not a cmv or trailer tire but when the tire blew out torn up the inside cowl plastic covering I was on the side of the road and I believe an off duty sherriff was driving buy and he was amazed I maintained control not flipped it but he was nice of enough to help clean the area up mostly puting the cowel from the inside of my wheel well.. but I was able to but the spare on and got everything fixed this happened a couple years ago.

The amount of feet of the orange caution triangles is 50 to 75 feet from the truck to till the traffic to move to the left Lane

I would guess it get a bit bumpy for a bit :) I do follow Ron Pratt and he drives a tow truck and people have little respect and blow past him with very little margins doing 50+ We had a gravel truck blow a steer tire on the highway here in Sweden and he did go from the right lane into the left and hit the center barrier and flipped, i passed a few hours later and the truck was standing there and the cab was a mess, newspaper said no injuries but i doubt that is correct, but hope for the best.
