AY THATS ME AND MY BUDDY WHO WERE FILMING!! Haha

No ramming and jamming on this channel, just a damn good driver with good common sense!!! Your pretty awesome Dan, love that co pilot too 👍🇺🇸

What is up dan from the imperial co California 114 degrees.

Thanks for what you do. You truckers make this country go around. Thank You !

You did make our day! 😁

I saw “Swifty” Parked out in the middle as you Exited the Truck Stop. Still trying to figure out those White Lines. 😬👍

Always enjoy. Really like the song starting around 7:14. Not a truck driver, work with computers, but I find your videos very calming. Thanks again!

Hi Dan! Your videos are the perfect end to my day. Keep on trucking’!

Thanks for the ride Dan. Also, thanks for the honest fuel mileage report. Blessings

Thanks for the video safe travels at all costs

If your getting 5.7 to 6mpg with that huge truck with a BIG CAT & the water tank and all the stuff in it AND your pulling 40,000 grand? Dan your doing better than most guys with regular 379's out there! I don't care what they say, I'll take a 6nz Cat any day🥰🤗

Great to see you and Bailey having some great driving in good weather

Your experience sure shines through love the content always!

You and Bailey have a safe trip

Safe travels 🙏

Good luck Dan happy trails

Enjoy your videos. I drove a greyhound bus until March 1990, then for A&W trucking in Mt Airy NC. MT Airy to California and back through Benson AZ each trip. Enjoy seeing how things have changed.

beautiful music dan..safe travels and God bless

Welcome back my friend and be safe out there

Dan you do a great job with your securement and tarping.

Dan and Family Happy 4th. I love your Videos! Bailey is a Star!! I can relate to everything you show. I can't imagine hauling anymore with ELD and idiots on the road. Retired owner operator.

Awesome Video as always. I saw 4 Trucks yesterday waiting to be unloaded at a new build site was hoping one of them was you but nope. Oh well maybe one day. Stay safe Bailey.

Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘

Travel safe, Dan!!!

Have a great trip west!

I'm a subscriber to your channel but been out a couple of months, glad you are still rolling!

Love your choice of songs and music!

Thanks Dan

Hopefully you and yours had a great holiday. B SAFE 🚛💨💨💨💨

Enjoy Your Video’s. We are not traveling this year to Idaho from Florida so watching your travel instead !! Thank You !! H.

Great video, tarp is holding good.

Hello Dan and Bailey yes Dan be sure to keep up with bailey's pedicure lol it is important good to hear from you two all of us in Arizona love to see your videos so please keep them rolling. You and Bailey be safe...

To you and your Family happy 4 of July

Great video, great music!

I love that song Dan. You have played a few over the years that I get hooked on. This one is Copper Horse by Kylie Dailey. Thanks

I think you got a pretty heavy foot Dan.

Cool video Dan 👍

I just missed you. I was there Saturday and Sunday doing a reset

Morning dan. I have a 2001 ihc with 450 isx pull step deck run mostly flat country. Only run 58 mph been doing that for years bought truck new got 1,765,000 miles on it in the warm weather been running between 7.5 to8.5 have 370 rears 11 24 5 tires. Been running sixty to seventy cents a mile for fuel. Have run Cummins engines since 1978. Good luck Dan happy Fourth of July. You and Teresa. And little doggie.

For many years I traveled the USA with my wife and son in a conversion van for ten years and then in an RV. I loved figuring out optimal speed for the best fuel mileage. Your video made me think of that! Now I travel on my Goldwing! 🏍🇺🇸🎒

Dan, don't know which camera/microphone combination you used to record this video but it was excellent. I went out for lunch yesterday and ate in my car. Pulled up this video and rather than use my cellphone speaker to listen to it, I connected to the Bluetooth on my car's stereo. Wow, it was incredible. Blindfolded, you would have thought you were in the passenger seat of your truck. The bass rumbling while you were idling around the Iowa 80 truckstop getting out to the road was as realistic as could be. Keep up the great videos. I really enjoy watching and learning from them.

6:33 you caught Wisconsin Truck Spotter on video!!

Dan, Keep up the great videos.

I did construction work on the rest stops in York. That was a long time ago. There's a women's prison in York, I've known couple of ladies who have done time there.

That is so nice not having to deal with def fluid lucky guy

Another great video Dan. You always seem to do a nice tarp job. I know being a flat deck driver a nicely tarped load says who ya are. Boy 5.7 miles per gallon is not a lot. Years back it mattered less and now it’s everything. You probably don’t have any payments on the tractor and that makes it a little easier and if the Dorsey is paid for your in a good position. I really enjoy watching your videos Dan because I like the way you truck, stay safe Dan…

I like that big orange hood and I'll bet you go through the wood this trip. You're a go through the woods kinda guy. Thanks so much for all the great videos

Nice job.

I was hoping you were going to beat 6.0 mpg,but I bet with a fresh tune up, oil, injector cleaning and timing, air, oil and fuel filters 6.0 isnt far off!!!.. Thanx for the ride Dan!🇺🇸✌

Hey Dan !!! Yepper !! Even with the mileage at 5.5 to 6 MPG ,, at least you DON'T have to buy that high priced ""DEF"" !! HAHA 🙃😊🤔🤔🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍 Have a good run back home !!!

I had an old cabover int back in the 90s with a 350 cumminsturned up to 400 with a 10 speed ran at 1600 to1800rpms and got 5.5 miles to a gallon back when fuel was cheap

York has my favorite water tower

Well how close was that, I went to Walcott on Friday to go thru the trucker museum, just missed you, I got there around 10:30. Not sure if you have ever went thru the museum but if you have time well worth it!!!

Hey Dan get with Pittsburgh power and get your CAT tuned it will help with your fuel mileage,they have mobile tune shops all over the US.

Thanks Dan for the videos. Do you ever post the song titles you use ? The one today was easy listening. Stay safe and God Bless. Say hi to Bailey.

I knew a O/O that had an '05 Pthe wy 379 with a 550 hp C-15 bumped back to 475 hp. It also had an 18 speed manual transmission and 3.36 rears. He pulled a tandem rolltite. He was wide open (meaning no govenor) but even though he was wide, he said he found her sweet spot which also happened to be 62 mph. He did his best to keep the truck locked in at 62 mph.

You asked where everyone was going. 4th of July weekend coming up. They are all out spinning their wheels. It's funny, when I was an O/O in the mid to late 1970's, my 1978 KW K100 (cabover, don't laugh, 55' max length, 55 mph national speed limit) running a Cummins 400 w/13 speed at 65 mph, would get 5 mpg. I know your truck is 20 years old, but you would think technology would have returned at least 2 more mpg than what that brick going down the road got.

ps loved the music choice today would have liked more of that ,

Grammas is a really good place to eat!!!

Nice song.

i use to buy my sterling silver rings at Walcott Ta, but then they changed the counter around and no longer sold said rings. {silver rings to keep werewolves away} lol

You should check out pdi tuner may help with fuel mileage

easy to calculate your mileage when you do your ifta quarterly for better accuracy.

Two in one week! Thanks so much.

Yep, you made it on Jacob's page.

You see one of the EDL companies was recalled and the drivers can use paper (comic books) logs for 2 months

Yes I totally agree with you on the horns for sure Dan!! I definitely think that you should upgrade the horns on your awesome rig for sure!! The things I look at in really cool trucks is that they definitely have to be a manual tranny awesome paint job, awesome sounding horns, a really good reliable engine with plenty of power, and definitely a Peterbilt!!! Lol!! I definitely don’t think a big rig should be a automatic!! That’s definitely a no no I think!! But I guess some just don’t no how to drive a manual and if not I definitely don’t think they should be driving a big rig either!!! Lol!! Just my thoughts!! Dan definitely you need to fix them horns though!! It sounds like a sick goose if you was to ask me!!! Lol!! Awesome video buddy and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

Your company has your quarterly IFTA reports. 1 minute phone call

I find running 1550-1650 rpms gets me better fuel mileage in my W9, running a 3406e 15.8 liter cat turned up to around 700 wheel hp

The life, indeed.

Hey dan that guy filming has a channel called wisconsin big rigs hes a truck spotter

That's why I run an older truck that doesn't require an eld they're a joke. I used to run an e model cat I always run her about 1500 to 1550s where it got the best fuel mileage I'd get a little over six. Stay safe after Dan I'll see you next time.

I saw you dead heading on I-25 south of Albuquerque assuming you are headed home have a great weekend

Nice music on the long run today. Bailey is just so cute. How does she deal in the truck between stops?

Heck u have cats all ur career so u know they are a high torque low rpm motor, if it were me I'd change the rear gears and put a tune on it so you can stay at 65 to 66 your comfortable cruising speed at a lower rpm idk like 1300 at 65 and that tune to set it at a happy medium with lil more power to pull out the high range gears but yet also the better mpg

Hi Dan, 6 mls per gallon ist impressive with a flat nose truck. You can try 60 mls per hour and check the fuel consumption. Maybe you get about a mile more

we don't have any woods in ks....lol

Alrighty then 😁👏👍

Thanks Dan, Teresa, Bailey & Katie! Good news on the mileage for a baseline. Thanks for sharing and take more long walks with stretching exercises, might make those big tarp jobs easier to in crease your flexibility. You will know when you bend over and cannot reach/touch the ground easily.

That's 39.2 litres/100km for us metric folk. That's about the same as what I get in the DAF CF 530 (MX13) I drive locally here in Melbourne Victoria. Usually be loaded with 23 tonne (to about 41ish tonne - about 90k lbs gross) outbound and empty on the return.

While experimenting with fuel, have you tried limited to 60mph? Cooler tyres at least.

Dan, The end tarping is acting like a wind sock and trapping air dragging your fuel milage down.

5-6mpg,1400rpm,67ish,those are the same numbers I get on my 3406e.

With the ridiculous fuel prices I would hope for better fuel mileage

just fyi a gallon costs here in Germany (Europe) $ 9,55 (22 june 2022)

Keep it at 60-62 mph times are tough.

Ouch. You got a really cool truck... but if I figure out the numbers it hurts a bit. Just checked my last week. With 26t (57.320lb) load (timber stored in a 40ft container), half of the way with empty container (88.184lb with timber, 30.864 empty gross weight) I have used 602 liters (159 gallons). Distance was 2.630km (1634 miles), mixed traffic including some traffic jams. Overall I had an mpg from 10.27 (22,9 liter/100km... our way to measure it) Truck: Scania S770 (770 european horses, 759 in US hp) But the prices. One liter diesel was 2.01 Euro last week. This is equivalent to 2.1$ per litre, makes 7,95$ per gallon of Diesel. Shortly: you are paying about one dollar per mile, I'm doing it for about 77 cents. But topping up hurts equally... for my last 1.450l (about 383 gallons) I had to pay 2.914 Euro or 3,038 Dollars.

Good video Dan, how come you didn't stay on 80 then drop south on 25 at Denver?

at 6 miles to the gallon its plain to see your not in it for the money Dan , its a passion . as an Englishman the thought of 6 miles to a gallon of diesel is terrifying 🥶

Thought maybe you would play the part of Brad Pitt in Money Ball where you would snap your fingers, point at Bailey and she would give the figures.

Looked like you passed Trucker2chains beamer coming out of Wolcott. Or at least another Valley unit. Safe travels Dan & Bailey.

Your 5.7 pulling a skateboard makes me feel better about my life.

The guy filming the trucks coming in and out has a RU-vid channel called LargeCarMag. You'll be on his channel

Just paid $6.15 a gallon for diesel here in Ohio.... Crazy.

Did you run south on hwy 81 from York Nebraska?? If so you ran through my hometown of Geneva Nebraska...

Good video Dan. You and Bailey stay safe . God bless you. 🙏

If you make a left out of the Petro in York, you're going north, not south towards Salina. Just don't want you to get lost.

Being an IT person I know this can be a real pain....

THANKS, DAN, FOR I CALL IT THE "ROLLING CONDO" INTERESTING, I READ AN ARTICLE LAST NIGHT, THAT 97 PERCENT TALK OR YELL AT THEIR ELECTRONICS!!!!!! I CALL IT BS!!!!! I WANT TO MEET THE OTHER 3 PERCENT😂😂🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍🤣🔥🔥😂, THANKS FOR A GREAT JOB AND VIDEOS! SEEMS NO MATTER HOW YA STRETCH IT OR SHRINK IT, IT LOOKING AT 1 DOLLAR A MILE,, PLUS OR MINUS A 4MPH WIND!

Won't those Kansas mountains interfere with your gas mileage test? 🙃
