My First Semi Truck Load! Got One Week of Training With The Semi Truck! 

Every one needs a brother in-law like yours very nice of him 👏👏👏

Every video of you, it surprises me you never get hassled by DOT for hooking chains and straps to the rub rail, very illegal way of securing a load. I suggest attending a load securement course just once, it will gain you a ton of knowledge on legal ways of securing loads. Anyway happy trucking! you're on the right track.

*That 1st "Two Wheeler Brake Check" gonna have you wishin' you had a "headache rack, bud.....Newton's Law...An object in motion shall remain in motion unless stopped by a outside force"...*

If I’m not mistaken when you’re using chain binders you can’t hook the binder to the rub rail. You have to have a different direct tie down source. Meaning you can wrap the chain through the rub rail and around it but you can’t use the binder on the rub rail.

Be careful with the air lines going to your trailer. They shouldn’t be touching the deck plate because they can rub through. Also its just an excuse for DOT to ticket you. You also may want to invest in a headache rack if your going to be hauling pipes or steel.

Congrats yousiff. You have a good attitude, and lot of good pointers from fellow viewers.

Second comment haha Awesome bro! Can’t wait to see the journey with the new semi :))

Hey boss, a suggestion for you, buy a cdl book that explains load securement and follow it to the letter! the rub rails are not working load rated and most states will ticket you for it, and all steel loads - ALWAYS use edge protectors, chains will dig into steel and some receivers will reject the load because of it and straps fray quickly so---( the CDL load securement book will also explain the working load limit of chains by size, as well as straps.) A hand ratchet strap has less load limit than a strap that is secured by a ratchet binder that is attached to the trailer

Congrats! Little advise from a flatbeder that haul structural steel. Invest in more chains and binders if your going to haul this type of steel. Your straps will hold but in an accident they will rip like paper. Good luck!

Great video Yousiff. Some good advise from some of your followers. Have been keenly following your journey from Australia and we are excited to follow you on your new endeavor. GREAT family connection there. Keep the videos coming.

Great job Yusuf, All the best man!

My boy is making some money lol. I can tell he looks like he has been eating good. Looking good brother.

if you twist the strap a half turn they will not fray! when they are flat like that its like a wing

You need more experience with flatbed my suggestion is try dryvan or refeer first your can hurt people in the road my friend

Yousiff Good morning Great to see you already un the Big truck making your dreams. Have a nice trip , Drive carefully. Regards Carlos Aguirre 18 February 2021 11:23 hours

Get used to using chains.... steal/metals will cut your straps regardless of the protectors being there or not. We like to say metal on metal securement (use chains for metal securement)

Job well done . I can see the huge difference between the hotshot and the truck lol. Lots of room and space and nice sleeping area.

If u can afford it I recommend headache rack inclosed instead of tool box it's not in all the road grime and if u get a good one it's all u need I recommend one with roll up door and good lock so no one steals stuff they are not cheap but when u get it u will understand why

Glad to see you working,chains with steel always keep up with the videos.

Might want to invest in getting swivel POGO STICK PIPE hose and cable holder tht hook up from tractor to trailer all tht rubbing will wear them out fast

I like the black truck over the blue your tarpaulins need to be rolled up tighter i would leave the tire rack and put tool box in front of the first axle least if you have a blow out it isn't going to rip the box off and/or damage it

Awesome brother in law !! Can’t wait to follow your semi journey !! I want to move over to semi one day I think. But for now it’s RV transport to get my feet wet. I just came through Flagstaff a few days ago. I outrun the snow storm and spent the night in Jamestown NM the on to California but came back through the storm in Texas. Be safe my friend !

If you don't have a cb please get one. It can help keep you out of trouble in more than one way.

I’m not a truck driver, but I do know that a headache rack is an absolute must for flatbeds.

Trailer Boxes 👍👍 and spare tyres 👍KEEP ON TRUCKINGGOOD

I notice air hoses dragging on deck plate. DOT man says thats a no no. Be safe. Thanks for the videos.

Get u at 6 by 6 20.00 piece off carpet, cut it up and use as edge protectors!!

A tip for the chains, never hook up the end of the chains to the rub rail on the trailer. I try to hook them around the pockets

Good job on securement, fold your tarps correctly so they aren't taking up space

Good luck brother with your new life jurney, stay safe out there.

You are a good team with your brother in law,he should come on video 👍

The steel can fray your straps. Good luck in your step up.

Good luck Yousiff, I hauled a lot of loads out Bernallilo, NM back in the day.. Peace

More trucking vlogs please!! And longer ones

Hello yusuf please put a headache rack on tractor... for safety....

Any heavy load like steel and esp plant machinery should be chained not strapped If that load shifts it will snap the straps like twigs

YOU have it chaineddown wrong NEVER CHAIN TO THE RUB RAIL always chain around the stake pockets your lucky you did not get pulled into a scale

Rolling with the big boys congrats

Yousiff check-out SuperTruckerDan on YT. He is a walking, talking, driving encyclopedia on running flatbed! Check his tool box set-up. Eventually you could use 4 tool boxes! Is your trailer 48’ or 53’? It’s hard to get out of California or find parking in California! 😆

Dot is going to give you a ticket for not haveng a headachee rack on your truck or trailer. Good luck brother im hopeing to get to your level soon. Love your positive attitude

Bcareful out there I'v almost have a accident in Chicago with black ice

You have to put softeners on sharp steel edges or your going to be buying a lo of straps

Where did u learn how to secure flatbed load ?

Get a headache rack brother. If u are going to be doing flatbed primarily out of a truck it makes the most sense

Get your self a headache rack for that truck for your safety.

Congratulations on moving up to big truck. We also are fixing to buy semi. So question to you and other truck drivers. How do those automatics handle the heavy weights? I’m asking cause I’ve only ever driven manuals.. thanks for the vids stay safe..!!

Did you hear of FORKS , SPOONS and KNIVES (you know , the kind of you eat with)?

I haul 25tons x 3 or 4 every day Did 4 loads today 24tons each!

Steel on steel especially steel beams also dont go past rear of trl on a 53

My friend you need be very carful with steel.run achain over the front pulling back to stop the load sliding thru your head !!

you dont use straps on steel.

so the new truck will make a lot more money? do you think you can gross $11,000 a week, and profit $6500 a week? for 50 weeks that could be 325,000 dollars for the truck and trailer for a year. that's great money right?

We are sitting in Ontario waiting on oversize permits California is 4 days behind on permits im 10'5" wide and 100k gross on six axles

الحديد من خلفكم واليمرطه 🍳 من أمامكم..🤪🤪🤪 عافيت اولصن ياورم

Sleeping in jeans is hard man

Did you sell the Ford?

You need to get you a headache rack buddy

Where are you from Yusuf?

Hello, how much does a load like this pays ?

i graduate this month from trucking school at my college are you hiring?

I love Middle Eastern food

I am alittle confused!!! Didn't you do Hot shotting before. If so good luck with the K.W. Stay Safe Frankie Long Island.

I was looking at getting a Conestoga trailer, how well do these flat bed loads pay? Currently learning the trade in a reefer.

Iraqi bread is the best ❤️

Spread axles with that much weight in CA?? Didnt think that was allowed. Bridge laws and stuff

Trucking for a long time. Your fail in my eye's. Is securement on passenger side. Tuck all straps and chains behind the rail. In a accident. They can be all sheared off being exposed.

Man, to be honest thats really cheap pay. Say no to cheap freight. I would haul for $2600 and not be very happy.

Can I ask you why you move from F350 to 18 wheeler trucking?

I live in San Jose CA I would like to do the same thing you’re doing how can I reach you

Where are you from Palestine or Jordan

Low paying load bro... And get a headache rack ASAP!!!

You should introduce your brother in law to us if he's going to be co-starring from now on 😉

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I’m working to be good brother-in-law for you 😎 👍

You need to get a flatbed driver to show you how to chain up that's completely wrong

headache rack please

Good morning Yousiff, I would like to work with you and your family. I have a truck & trailer and a CDL. I do not have a MC # or a Company name yet. I would like to learn the ropes from you guys. Contact me if your interested. Thank you, Mike

You need to buy a headache rack. I wouldn’t be doing that without it lol you have the money quit being cheap

Woa.... to many eggs you looking for a heart attack

👍👍👍👍

More worried about a dirty truck instead of securing a load properly. No headache rack??? No thanks!

Be careful with flatbeds and using straps.

Bro the load is wrong besafe

Need more straps and chains ⛓ plus a headache rack is a must

Did you sell the Ford?

I have been flatbed for over 20 years, it will keep your belly flat😁, you may consider strap protectors, I just came over deadmans pass on I-84 northeast Oregon oh man whiteout and chains required, you can never be over securement, remember 2 securement in the front 10' be safe!

One week of training and you’re on the road with my family carrying that type a load with you strapped down wrong dear God help us what has happened to the trucking industry

Get those air lines and pig tails off that cat walk asap. Dot sees that you can find yourself in a full fledge inspection right off the bat. Best of luck and be safe!

Need more chains headache rack a must on flat bed .A sudden stop that steel will cut through those straps like butter .

Check out: "Super Trucker Dan" for some expert tips on FLATBED & Tool Boxes, as he has a NEW Dorsey trailer with 4 Toolboxes (Mostly for TARPS and Straps, chains are hauled in Headache & Chain rack on the back of his Peterbilt.) .

You need a headache rack on the back of the truck or on front of trailer.

You did pretty good securement. I liked that you did a mixture of chains and straps, and also layered your securement. However, all your securement is pulling to one side. I would suggest doing alternative-pull; it's much more safe and prevents the load from sliding to one side; however, it is a bit more time consuming (I ain't gonna lie) going back and forth between each side of the trailer. You should also add a makeshift bulkhead with some dunnage at the front of the trailer like a couple inches away from the steel beams. I would have also recommend using more chains instead of straps. And when you are using straps, make sure to add a twist and each end (each side of trailer) and use edge protection to prevent unnecessary wear on the strap from rubbing against the steel beam and potentially ripping. The twist is to prevent the strap from vibrating from all the wind when driving down the road. Also, I don't you're supposed to hook the chain to the trailer. I was taught to use the chain's hook to hook to itself (it's kinda hard to explain, lol). This is just unsolicited friendly advice from a former flatbedder :) Keep up the good work! I enjoy your videos. Edit: I just saw more of the video, and good job replacing more of the straps with chains! And good job with the occasional Load Check / Tire Check! You're definitely a safe driver trying to do all the right things to stay safe.

Use chains not straps

1050 miles for $2350 is that what I hear??? Why would you accept that so cheap???
