Trucking across America on the daily. Making mistakes and recording it. A combination of trucking life vlogs and awesome trucking info for anyone looking to get into the industry, or just learn a little more. Our industry is kind of like fight club if you know what I mean.
shelby you are the most powerful ladies in this industry .I know what you going threw. I had this disadvantage for 14 years. Sitting behind a steering wheel and looking at Black road makes you think of bad thoughts ,it did for me.Been in the industry 30+ years i could not leave it. It sucks for personal life . Im seeing doctor's to help. As they say just take one day at time. If I was there with you I would give you a big hug and say everything will be ok. Stay save and strong . Thinking of you angel.
@@ShelbyHBTM You need to grow up little by little, save up money and buy your own Volvo VND truck with a short hood and an enlarged double cabin for six passengers. Your new truck is worth it because you are already accepted as a more serious and responsible owner and are given good loads. The engine needs a preliminary oil pump so that the engine can run for a million and a half miles (the oil is already under pressure before starting and the turbine, piston group and crankshaft with bearings do not experience dry friction but are in a floating state when there is a layer of liquid oil between the parts. A car for a truck driver is a house on wheels, so you need a double-large cabin than usual and insulate it and put an auxiliary power unit so that you can sleep without turning on the main engine and use electrical appliances and tools. You need a large refrigerator in the cabin so that there is enough food for a week to put in it and the walls in the cabin would be good to finish with high-quality wood, for example, from bog larch, as is done on sailing ships, so that you can install a shower 🚿 and make a drain on the floor, and between the bog larch or oak it is worth laying hard foam plastic two two and a half inches so that there is heat and sound insulation and heat in winter or cool air kept in the cabin in the summer, this is an effect similar to how it works in refrigerators. You need to save up at least a quarter of the cost of the car, if the car costs $ 250,000, somewhere around $ 50,000 and another 15,000 in reserve and you can calmly work and earn $ 8,000 locally or $ 10,000 or $ 12,000 for long distances, but again you need to constantly save money and pay off the debt first of all ahead of schedule so that this debt does not put pressure on the psyche, preferably in the first two years. A tractor in one good hands can easily go 700,000 miles, and with preliminary oil pumping and a reinforced engine oil pump it can go 1,500,000 miles. The oils in the gearbox and axles also need to be changed somewhere every 250,000 - 300,000 miles so that they last a long time.
@@ShelbyHBTM with a high roof and a very elongated cabin so that in addition to the driver's and passenger seats there was a second row of seats and between these two rows there was a gap of about 3 feet and the second row of seats would be a bed as it is done in passenger train cars. So that the bed could be folded and it would be possible to use a shower and hot water. The walls of the cabin should first be insulated with hard foam plastic and on top of the foam plastic with oak stained boards so that they fit tightly with a ribbed groove in the lock and glued with silicone so that the joints of the boards are sealed, but so that it is repairable and, if necessary, it is possible to remove part of the lining and get to the desired area. In general, the tractor should resemble a sailing ship that moves not only on the sea but on the road, I think so. The suspension is also very important for maintaining the health of the spine, for this it is necessary to install a long-travel air suspension on both the rear and front axles from the factory, as well as good shock absorbers, it is better to choose single super wide wheels 385/65/19.5 or 445/45/19.5, since these wheels allow you to lower the height of the loading platform and drive under low bridges.
Shelby do all the truck drivers drive in snow like I see them do in Vermont? I’ll be driving thirty five in a blizzard and these guys go by me like I’m standing still. They must have stones and experience to handle those rigs like that!!
I love your hair!! And your videos 😊. If you ever decided to hire more drivers and try again I’d absolutely love to drive with your company and make you lots of money. I would willingly do that because I’m the same type of person you are and I believe you deserve to have good things in your life and that alone would give me the motivation to make as much money for you as possible ❤. Thank you for all your videos and letting your RU-vid family in on your life. You’re an amazing human!!
So nice to see a post from you again! I don't know if you haven't been posting anything or if I've just not seen you (I am suscribed), but anyway thanks , it's soo good to see you again.
You are still Professor Shelby The Great, that is always good enough for me. We live and love and learned so much from you Shelby, we want more, no pressure, but every video you post is so appropriate by everyone and especially appreciated by me. God Bless you Shelby. 06/27/2024. Thurs. 12:24 pm. EST. . Blessed. 1
I’m a small owner operator. After going through 5 nightmare drivers I got one good one. He worked for us for 4 years. Then I decided to get my license and save the $65,000 a year. Well, a year into driving I was driving my semi on the 93 outside of Wiccanberg AZ. When another semi hit me head on at 65 mph. Complete loss of truck and trailer. And I almost died. Thank god this didn’t happen with a driver. Think long and hard before hiring a driver again. There’s so much to loose.
Shelby. What do you think of team driving with someone you’re attracted to? But ones unhappy with their marriage? Or ones looking for a relationship while making money together.?? Is it worth it?
yhanks for enlighting us, my dad was in management with atnt and he once told me he had to tell some people that he didnt take the job to win any popularity contest, kinda what you went through with want to help your drivers. in the end its the job
