Had to get creative with my landing gear. You probably shouldn’t do this. | TRUCKING VLOG 

@Happiness By The Mile, thanks to you and all truck drivers on this planet. You keep this world alive. ❤

Would like to see a video with you and BKM editing your videos if BKM is up for it he seems to be the stealth trucker lol 😂

Got to admit, I've had the same problems you had docking way more than I care to admit. Then again, I'll pull forward and try again 1000 times before I'm willing to hit something

Gratitude for all you do Shelby...stay awake and safe!

One of the major reasons why I like to get up at or before 4am is so I can shower at the truck stop before the showers fill up, and so I can shut down early enough to shower at night if I didn't get one in the morning. It's so much easier to find parking when I shut down by like 6pm! I also love watching the sun come up while I drive, and being on the road before it gets crowded. But I agree with you, prices for parking and showers are high!

WB Shelbs...Glad u r back...Missed Dakota and u...What r your time lapse settings plz? I love how the time lapses r on the road...Thanxs in advance...Jeff

It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos Shelby. It also warms my heart to see Kota with you. As much as you say he is driving you crazy, you wouldn't trade that for all the money in the world. What a truly wonderful traveling companion! He truly cares about you and loves you...

Hi glad to see you back say safe out there and keep on trucking 🇬🇧

Shelby, we’d love to know about your journey through these new carriers. I can understand if you don’t want to talk about it, but it can teach a lesson about finding the right fit. I’ve driven for more carriers than I’d like to admit because I didn’t know what I was looking for. I’m happy where I am now driving tanker. Stay safe, driver! Keep the rubber side down

Hi whatcha up to hope all is well hugs prayers 4 healing and unspoken also prayers 4 everyone and bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels and happy hauling in the name of the Creator God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost Amen much honor and respect keep walking tall hugs was wondering where u r glad ur doing good also good to hear and see from u always great videos keep on keeping on and keep walking tall 🚌🌅🌌⛺🌄🏞🏖 👍👍💪🙂👍👍

Zip ties work nicely for the given usage.

You have a tough job Shelby! I truly admire you and your quality driving! You are good for the world - you and Dakota! God bless you both!!

Shelby, as far as the landing gear goes, necessity is the mother of all invention. Keep doing what you, be safe, and keep showing us that beautiful smile.

I feel your pain as I have moved my truck by accident as well and started my 14-hour clock prematurely 😢.

You do a good job of taking life on life's terms. Thanks for showing us how you do that with a smile.

Safe travels trucking Shelby and Dakota

It's good to see you happy and relaxed, kota looks really good too, big huggs to you both 🤗❤🤗❤😘

As always glad to see ya rolling down the road. Be safe!

Nice to see that smile Shelby and happy doggy too. Take care and stay safe.

Some of your most basic vids turn out to be the best 👍😎 We have two German Shep Dogs at home and their personalities are JUST LIKE Dakota’s! You could not ask for a better people companion pup. Stay the course, Shelby. I know it’s getting harder and harder to be a MC, and probably bigger challenges coming, but you are so appreciated. And prayed for. Literally. If you ever need help here in Utah, just shout. 👊

So stinking cute! Love, love love your attitude. A warrior you are and being a Marine I don't say that lightly. Be safe and take care.

Always love watching you & Dakota doing your thing, your persistence in doing something is unaltered. Safe travels Shelby.

They make a. Stabilization deal for your camera 🎥 phones too right thanks BigAl California

Excellent backing skills,,, you rock🤟👍... Love the commentaries,,,lol... Be safe,, shiny side up💜😉...

Shelby thank you so much I really enjoy what you put into your videos. A big hello from Hamilton New Zealand p.s love the music you used.

It's amazing the amount of things we do during the day ... Totally enjoyed the video ... Love you my friend, Stay Safe AND 🍌🍌🍌 for Kota ... Nice butt!

What a great upbeat video. It shows you really like what you do so you do it well. Boy your hair really looked nice after your shower. Ya road grime can be some of the worse. I remember years back you were very lucky you had air-con. Now a days it’s everywhere. Well I must say what a great upbeat video, was a pleasure to watch, have a great and a safe day, happy trails…

Ms S. Make sure that the driver 🐕‍🦺 your 🚛 by the steering wheel doesn't panic if he sees a 🐱. Safe travels to you and 🐕‍🦺 🚛💨 💨 💨 💨

Love the tunes you added Definitely made me chuckle watching this with the pup commentary 😂 You inspired me to get my CDL last year.. now, I’ve gotta get some more experience before I can come drive for you 😬🚚

Great video Shelby

Congrats on getting the Go=Pro to work again! A Great video as always ! Safe Travels Kidz !

Drove my first shift today to Washington then turned around and to Los Angeles as a new driver

Long time Ms. Shelby, hope you are doing well. Justin- Trucking Tips Happy Holidays friend!!

The GoPro battery will likely need to be replaced. Lithium batteries should not be discharged beyond a certain point, and if it's in the camera, the camera has a small drain even when it's off (to see if you're pressing the power button). Leaving it connected for several hours may wake it up but the capacity will be significantly impacted. When you store lithium batteries (camera, flashlight, radio) long term you should charge/discharge the battery to about 80%, and remove it from the device.

@happinessbythemile, Did you pick up in Parker/Lone tree area in Denver Colorado? I recognized that location. Awesome!

Spray paint it Black attracts less attention so chances are they won't pull you over. Love all you do!

At 0:33, you talked briefly about a fourteen hour drive time. What is that? Is it regulated? Do all truckers have a drive time constraint? Who would check it? I have also asked this question on a previous video. Moreover, at 7:42, you mentioned putting yourself at "OFF DUTY." Shelby, please, please explain.

Why are you still driving? Aren't you a business owner of a trucking company now?

I did OTR for six months almost 20 years ago. Wasn’t for me. Totally respect you. I haul fuel now. Home every night. Be careful out there.

Shelby, My wife and I both enjoy your videos very much. At 62 when many of my contemporaries are either retiring or contemplating retirement, what do I do? Get a CDL, switch careers, and hit the road....sort of. I don't do the OTR stuff, but I do regional hauling for a hazmat tank company in the Chicago suburbs. I got my A around the holidays last year (I had my B for a few years and drove school buses "part time" (ended up being over 40 hours a week including charter work) and have been driving tankers since April. Many of the trailers I haul have either no hook for the gear handle, or one where no matter how I futz with it, the handle won't hook into the hanger. I didn't know I was driving around advertising a potential DOT violation. So far I luckily have never had and inspection - although perhaps it would be better if I did and then maybe it wouldn't loom so large in my mind with each passing weigh station! Many of my rookie mistakes have been things that I caught myself by watching other truckers do it right. That's how we learn out here. Keep up the good examples. Say "Hi" to Dakota . My wife loves her especially (but don't tell our pups Ramen and Noodle). My wife is currently embarrassing them with their Aldi pet Christmas sweaters and PJs. Hopefully Dakota doesn't get offended when people mistake her for a boy!

With a portable shower you can shower inside the truck

Dear Happiness By The Mile, please try to come to Denmark and drive your Trucks and Roads.-)

What happened to your trucking company? Nice seeing you back. Happy Holidays

Nice video..that time of the year, cold nights warm days. It's been a while since I've last seen your videos. You were with FedEx then. Hope you're doing well and pleased with the move? I ran local with a day cab. Making the mistake afew times of bringing a very young Irish setters puppy with me. Stay well and warm and before you know it April is just around the corner.

Hi Shelby and Dakota awesome seeing both of again love 💕 video and thanks for being a trucker and you have excellent protector in Dakota always watching out for you’re safety awesome job backing up and as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks you keep all of us alive. Thank you for driving without truck drivers we all fail. Thanks

Everytime I see a green FedEx truck... it makes me think of you...i hope i get to meet you someday... and that you'll get to come back to Washington state.

Shelby, you don't seem as happy as you used to be. Are you okay? I know that trucking can wear a person down. It did me. My last year of driving OTR was 2004 and I think showers at Petro was $7 then. I think TA was $6 and Flying J was $5. The company I drove for would reimburse us up to $5 for as many showers as we needed, but usually I showered when I fueled and so showers were free anyway. Trucking is a hard life. Glad I retired.

Wow…. So expensive shower. In France are free. But maybe there are big salary.

Great song at the end Shelby!!! I noticed your sunglasses dropped down over your eyes a couple times while backing your trailer in...I hate when that happens!! lol. I really hate when I leave my glasses up like that and when I go to use them I'll flip them down and they'll be greasy from my hair being dirty...time for a napkin!! Take care and stay safe young lady!!

Love's as you know has free parking, and if you can buy fuel at Love's use the credit's for free love's coffee , showers. God Bless Thank You for being only like 2% of women do your job.

Cool 😎

Sweetie, Gramps from Ft. Worth here! I will say that this was one of your more pleasurable videos, but it did seem a tad short, but still you were the perfect hostess! So stay safe, both of you, and stay warm!... 🤗 💖 🥰 🚛

Everyone deserves a break occasionally. If you don't take a sabith, you will burn out. Woman, the Caribbean is really nice this time of year, or Hawaii.

Shelby, sometimes watching these videos I worry your trying to keep up with too much. Wish I could just come get you and take a train trip with you. 😉.

ELD is such a stupid thing ….sure glad I’m retired after 30 successful years of incident free driving

Thank you for another video Shelby!! You are awesome!!😊

Hi Driver I would think you should get a custom sleeper with a shower for convenience and your safety really

Good to see you again. Is this still your truck or are you driving for someone? My shepherd is turning 11 next week I left him home this trip. Seeing Dakota makes me miss him more.. I just watched the memphis tx video and I think I found the answer to my truck question when you mentioned the demon light lol

Hey I've triggered my ELD unintentionally now that causes a sting when it's a hot load but just so you know it happens to all long haul drivers.

Shelby, This is why you need more rest. At the start of the video you were all confuzzled. Forgetting you already had a charged caner, etc. Dakota seems extra needy in this video. She wants attention and wants it now. lol Get some rest when you can. 😊

Hey try planet fitness black member ship gets you a workout a shower black member ship allow s you to all planet fitness location s

Hi, I fallow your adventures for long time, I get inspired by your endurance and strength against problems that life throws at you…you are nice gal….also if you had a noise job you ll be more beautiful

ELD’s don’t make sense. Personal Conv (however it’s spelled)

Good grief!! up to $20 for a shower. I can remember paying the most $7 for a shower. Most of the time free with fuel.

I love this video Shelby, it's just so real. I'm so glad to be with you as you take us along with you on your daily deliveries. 12/02/2022 Fri 12:19 am EST. . Blessed. 1

Guess i'm not the only one that strongly dislikes cold weather with a burning passion.

Dot won't hit you for not having a cradle for your landing gear handle I was just inspected the other day and I never use the cradle because I don't like snow building up on the handle when I drive

Have fun, some excitement and ignore the “be safe” cut & paste people.

think about what it cost to put in a shower, now think about the person that "cleans" them. Now with that said most of the big boys if you fuel up there think its like 50 gallons then you earn a free shower if you use their rewards card. Really you should never pay for a shower. Hope this helped you.

Safe travels Shelby and Dakota! I love that ur putting out more videos! 😍👍🐾❤🚛

I always find myself smiling watching your videos! Thank you Shelby.

Enjoyed your video!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

glad ur doing good. miss seeing videos... but take care of u and do ur thing... just hope things r good for u

You have very gorgeous bright shining angel eyes... Be safe out there...

Ha I’ve picked up trucks that had strong wiring to tie the landing gear handle with and works like a charm

Hi ! What can I say but Great video! Actually I really like all the interactions between you and your trouble shooting and repairing! Dakota is aa true wonder dog, wonders when he is going to get his next treat! Be safe!!

Hell, I forgot you didn't work for Fedex anymore..

I'm surprised you're not utilizing fuel points for free showers

hey Shelby stay safe out there ok and ur such a amazing person and just be safe out there i know u probably wont respond to me but anyways and u r so beautiful

YEAH WHIPLASH FROM AN AUTOMATIC TRUCK!!!!!!!

where you in Denver Colorado? I kind of remembered where you where park

Very nice 👌 👍

Stay away from Starbucks. They are not your friend.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a crew, solo seems kinda empty.

Do you know you are allowed to go get something to eat and drink if you are not at a facility that has this on personal conveyance

Two videos close together how wonderful! It is good to see Dekota taking care of you and the two of you on the road. Keep making content, please!

Love your content. You're so beautiful. ❤️

It's true there are so urgent need and its really cost i think truck union should seek to this matter because it's takes away all profit

New video required as glass of coffee to get positive energy , we waiting for you 🙂

Love the video and stay safe out on the road and keep on Truckin .

You’re awesome kid Keep on Truckin❤
