Don't Tell Another Truck Driver How To Do His Job. 

The hiding in the back to avoid talking to people who annoy you is so me 😂😂

OMG Dave you didn't go around to the passenger side to make sure your tandem pins were locked in place. lol

I hear ya on that Dave. I'm constantly getting people coming up to me when I'm getting things set-up for my job telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing with loadouts etc... The worst ones are the people who don't even do the job (or even work at the sites I'm picking-up/dropping off at) trying to give me instructions. Annoys the bejeebers outta me.

I like how them boys look to you for words of motivation Keep those guys around They got your back 💯💪🏽

We back at the truck stop all the time..takes us 10 pull ups but we do it ok..

Only by pride comes contention ! Large minds discuss ideas , average minds discuss events , small minds discuss people ! You have a small mind !

Only the real ones know about 49 & 98! Mississippi all the way baby !! Love from Columbia MS !

You did well Dave I’m Proud of you. You handled it well like the professional you are. Just laughing through the nonsense.

Haha it is annoying sometimes when drivers try to tell you every single little thing to do but this guy was right about you can go ahead and back against the ramp because the forklift operator would have gotten frustrated if he pulled up and you wasn't backed against the ramp lol he would have thought you was a rookie too

Looks like Dave encountered the KING Super Trucker!

Good to see ya Dave be safe out there bro

That was a Pro move Dave. Excellent video. Need to let driver be driver, if the shipper gets in the mix driver shouldn’t bug out causing another driver into a break.

It's not that you get the bottom of the barrow, it's just that companies like FedEx freight, ups, XPO ext get loaded first because we usually only pick up one or two pallets vs truckloads like sleepers. Cheers to you brother.

Very surreal watching you drive these rural back roads in Apex, NC.

I pulled stepdeck for about ten years..The thing I liked was your apointment time was when ever you got there while they were open

I love those air assist tandem slides to. We have a few. Handier than a pocket on a shirt.

Amazing CFI did not have air buttons to move tandems, they did at a smaller company of West Side Transport, did not have to once pull a bar to do tandems. You don't have to get back out and look with the tug test, but always a great idea.

My homie Dave from 1 trucker to another stay safe out here 👊🏾yes I remember the bar for tandems sometimes was good but others not so and had to get another driver to help guide it in whate hoke you wanted it in

I saw that Sky Mart and I knew exactly where you were - the road is being paved there because there are 4 major manufacturing plants being built down there in the next 5 years, lots of construction traffic, then will probably have to widened to 4 lanes after everything is built.

my dude, when you set your tractor brakes just hold the trailer knob with your thumb and pull on the tractor knob with your index and middle finger, it is so much easier than what you are doing

Thanks for another cool video, Dave. I loved the throwback, good times. Stay safe.

Love you videos look forward to them every week ❤

Small world Dave, im from Mobile. Love the trucking vids. I live vicariously though your experiences. I drove truck 8 years for the Army. Now i literally do what the guys @ 10:26 are doing lol. Anyway, thanks for what you do. Keep it up!

Loved the throwback Dave

You are too nice Dave. I would have told that guy to leave me alone.

Great video Dave be safe

You need to slow down more in them construction zones when workers are present.. Just a healthy tip lil buddy 👌

We had to make signs like that at my Home Depot to keep drivers from pulling out of the docks while they were being unloaded, word was people somewhere got crushed by their forklifts at a few stores.

Yes air release tandems are awesome!!!

Dave, you are my favorite RU-vid channel. Please keep the videos coming.

Love the vids Dave

i liked the little throwback at the end

Manual slide pin levers: I've seen at least two different designs like that. One design is like the one you seem to be describing about CFI trailers, in which the lever will only move in either direction if the slide pins are lined up with the holes. Those are the worst. I've also seen a similar, but different, design on Walmart trailers. The setup on Walmart trailers is the same, but they also have a spring on them that allows you to move the lever back into the locked position even when the slide pins are in between holes. That allows the driver to slide the pins forward or aft to the nearest hole and the pins will pop back out on their own. That other driver is something else. But I will say there is a trade-off between not offering or taking advice on how to do things and actually giving/receiving advice. In one respect, you and I are both seasoned enough to have a really good idea what we're doing. In another, we never know what methods others may have that could still provide learning opportunities - even if we have zero interest in adopting those methods after learning about them. No matter how much experience I gain, I always try to at least entertain suggestions. Veteran drivers who are worth listening to will always tell you that the day you think there is nothing new to be learned about trucking is the day you should turn in your CDL. But in cases like your own here...I'd rather just observe what others do, then consider afterward WHY another driver might do something a different way than I do it myself. Sometimes the philosophies are just different. In other cases, there could be a "oh, I didn't even think about that" experience.

I am the opposite when it comes to air slide tandems lol, every time I've picked up a trailer with air slide its always been a headache, they never just pop out like they are suppose to, I prefer the bar, yes its a little more work but its a proven design that works every time.

Dude sounds like he may just be a new enthusiastic driver. He just dont understand whats insulting to other drivers.

If i didnt know what i was doing id just keep following the other truck lol. Thanks for the video Dave!

your explanation on how they make the bricks was great

Hey pal, you probably already thought about it, but be a flat-bedder, not so you don’t back-in as much, but because of $. You sound young. You’re able to jump up and down on & off that skateboard, to tarp and strap loads. That’s part of the reason you get paid more, but also, flat-bed freight loads usually pay better, from brokers, and therefore to you as a carrier or even a company-driver. Also, tankers pays better than dry-box.

There was one trailer for Transport America that had this system. It was fun trying to figure it out.

That bob- tail is exactly why construction zones are dangerous, all those safety devices up and still manage to almost wreck.

Good ol slow Moncure. I picked up brick there last week with my flatbed lol! Waited there two hours to get loaded and ended up having to make my delivery the next day because I missed the cutoff by 15 minutes. That's truckin'!

I’m at CFI and it’s been pretty good we have that system in new trailers I’m in the process of going owner operator

I haul Flatbed. I love it when I can just pull in to get loaded but doesn't happen very often. Lol

That trucking Dave lol love story time with Dave

Your awesome thanks for the great content

They should use these videos as educational videos for cdl school haha. And I think the property next to the road that you parked on is called an easement. I'm not certain but ya

If the getting static shocked when you leave the truck becomes an ongoing issue, you could consider an anti-static grounding strap on the Volvo.

Pulled a box van and tank trailer before I pulled a flat bed, I did know how to BACK.😁🤣😊

Truth is ol'' Dave learnt everything he knows from ol' Larry,and thus it was for so it was written

That other driver being a complete Straw boss 😂

Your videos always make me laugh! Great Job! Stay safe out there and Keep on Rolling !! 😅😂😅

The flat bedders can’t back, but the enclosed trailers can’t pull tie downs sheeeeesh

Guy looked like ricky from trailer park boys lol

“I’m not new, bro” 😂🤣😂

Hey Dave can't wait to see you on the road been driving for 2 years and been watching you forever man! I'm still out looking lol be cool to talk to you while driving

Dang it Dave you dock rubber bumper dry van driver. 😂

I been there before, I almost got lost too because the company has a different address from the place.

I'm close to hwy 49 right now. In Hattiesburg

I'm form the South but as a OO I hated hauling a load to the South because I almost always got a heavy a$$ paper load. They told me if you unwind one of them roles of paper it will stretch 4 miles lol

Hey Dave the road worker let you through because we get told to keep trucks moving well in Australia we get told if there's a truck coming up the back of traffic let them keep moving too it's just so trucks don't have to build up the speed again

Brick plant reminds me of US Gypsum in Michigan.....

Good.job👍👍👍👍🚒

Respect on that just let us do our jobs and if we need help we know how to ask lol well some of us do

Great vlog as always Dave. Like….a….Glove!!!! Lol

Every place that does business with trucks should have a place for a couple of trucks to park that are out of time.

We have air release on our werner reefer trailers

That’s trucking Dave

Dave!!! Though we talked about your closing credits and song....c'mon man...lol

It'd be very interesting if that dude also had to take 10 hr rest too 😅

I would assume day cabs are given higher priority due to most of them being hourly paid, so the longer they wait to be loaded the more the company has to pay them.

9:28 no, i’m even more heated rn 🗿

Im going to invent a wireless magetic backing camera that that you can slap on the back of the trailer before backing in .

I always get shocked getting out of my truck! I wonder what that’s about.

Damn door swingers lmao idk I hit docks with my stoga getting glass loads all the time but most of the open deck guys oh yeah

Haha good ole skyline. Good company to work for.

Just so you know you don't have to set the brakes to release those pins all you have to do is hold down the trailer handbrake if you have it in your tractor tractor

When Dave does his “critiquing trucker voice” he sounds like the teacher from south park 😂 3:20

That newbie driver right here is a perfect example of the "Mt Stupid" comic from SMBC.

17:16 Sweet international.

Hey Dave Have you ever been on Stinking Creek Road in Tennessee? I see it all the time going from Michigan to Florida all the time. Cool name for a road though.

I miss your old outro with music , please put it back 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I like the outro. Does that mean more motorcycle content coming soon?

10:51 gonna be slicker than snot when it rains O_O

Another great video Dave! ps: theirs a name for guys like that driver --Blabber-mouth know it-all, guys like that are a dime a dozen. stay positive!!

Yo wht happened to the dude who used to do Dave Eats and get piss drunk??He was epic. I been subscribed forever. Salute

Dave I think the company insulted you on top of what homie already tried to do by telling you “here’s your sign” You complain homie was trying to tell you how to your job and then the company tries to do the same thing placing that sign in front of your truck. Could only happen to you LOL. Funny video once again.

This was a good video 🤣

It’s an easement

im getting my cdl permit rn and im so scared i start zoom classes with swift may 1st im more scared to fail the inspection test and i hope one day i understand the wieght stuff

Flatbed have you back down into a dock that runs along both sides of the trailer. Bout 2 inches between trailer and dock on both sides. Usually inside a dark bay on a bright sunny day.

Could be getting static shocked because of the type of shoes you have on. It would happen to me when I had clothy type shoes

Seems odd cfi wouldn't have all air release trailers

Hello from indonesia

Wouldn't it be nice if trailers had a fisheye cam that you could view in the cab to make backing up easier? Trucking seems to have soo many modern features and tech, why can't they figure out adding a rear cam???

the way you set your breaks lol you have no right to talk crap about any truck driver haha

You should apologize to California for that one actually 😂

I think truck drivers get so lonely that they'll look for any excuse to have any kind of interaction with anyone. That's why CBs were much more popular in the past. Nowadays, everyone has cellphones and other ways of communicating. So CBs aren't used much anymore. But I know how frustrating it gets when a stranger comes up to you and won't stop yakking when you're being loaded.

Hey you changed the ending back to the old way. Was used to the usual trucking one

2yrs you know it all real truck driver's don't use words like bro your a steering wheel holder home boy

67mph in the construction zone on semi-truck ????😳
