Thank you for speaking on the suicide….. means a lot to hear someone like you speak on it…. It’s a real privilege to watch your travels and hear what you have to say…. Since my back surgery I no longer have the opportunity to drive anymore….. Ty again my friend!
I’m sorry to hear that you can’t drive anymore brother. Life is precious, no matter what we have going on. We just have to remember that there are people who have it allot worse than we do and they are still here and living happy lives. Happy Friday and have a great weekend buddy 🙏🏼
Hope you enjoyed Alabama. I live near Huntsville. The greatest joy I had was riding I a 1995 or 96 Freightliner from Birmingham to Atlanta as well as Huntsville to Atlanta. Had a buddy that drove for a company that ran airfreight to Airbone terminal. He wanted to teach me to drive his personal 1963 Emeryville cabover but didn't get a chance.
I never really realized how beautiful Alabama is. I’ve been down there a few times in a truck and many times in a personal car driving down to Panama City Beach. But it seems like every time that I am down there I drive at night and I was never really able to see anything. Only thing I didn’t like about Alabama for those portable scales they have. But it is what it is.
That hill is very steep. I’m just glad it wasn’t wet or even worse snowing outside. I would’ve never made it up there. Thank you very much for my friend. I really appreciate you. 🙏🏼
I appreciate that buddy 🙏🏼It drives me crazy to but I don’t want to fix it just yet. I need to save money because time are hard right now. So everything that doesn’t affect performance or safety is being put off until further notice.
Yes sir, mr. revenue collector bear, I got lots of peterbilt parts, don't bother me. Yea I am sorry that you saw the dead jumpers body. Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Sad that the person did that.. But like I said yesterday, life is cruel, and we have to stay strong in this current day and age.. Not to far east of the chicken place you delivered to, lives a girlfriend of mine in Ft. Payne.. Thanx for the ride and thanx for the time you spend editing your videos for us to watch. Stay safe out there, the 389 as always lookin good .
I appreciate that buddy. Thank you very much. This part of Alabama is very beautiful. Even with that chicken processing plan right there. It still looks good..
Last time I stopped there was back in 2007 I believe. And I would never stop there again. Especially to spend the night. Thank you so much for watching brother. I really appreciate it.🙏🏼
Man that one sexxy Blue truck ...i hope this yr will be the yr i can get my Glider...brother and Dad r talking about it I drive in spring and fall for farm running corn to grain co-ops and i run clear over to Nebraska and Illinois
I’m so sorry to hear that. Hopefully everything works out for the best at the end. And if it’s meant to be you guys will be back together in no time. 🙏🏼
I always go around all of them scales going east or west on I-40 west side of Arkansas and also I go around the scale going into Oklahoma from Arkansas. The east side scale on I-40 in Arkansas has all of the latest gadgets. They have sendors on the ground that detects a low tire as you drive past the cameras and other gadgets. I-40 between little Rock and Memphis is usually a really busy road way. Life is good..!!..
Every chance I get to go around those guys, I do. Even if it takes me an hour or more away from my route. Better safe than sorry. Life is good my friend. 🙏🏼
You will not regret buying the reefer trailer I hauled one for years in Canada pretty good gig and it's a cool job lol keep the rubber on the road and keep the great videos coming
Looks like I did. Looks like Ozark, Arkansas is right there off of 40. I thought you said Ozark Missouri because there is Ozark in Missouri just south of Springfield about 10 to 15 miles.
I witness a suicide similar in Fresno California on 4 lane highway 99 on each side. I seen a car stopped on over pass as I was approaching he stopped in the middle of the bridge and I was about 1/8 mile away just the before getting to the over pass. He had a white t-shirt and light blue jeans. And he jumped on the opposite side so the bridge would cover up him jumping. He was aiming for me and another truck in the center 2 lanes. As a Ford Tarsus station wagon just ahead of the other truck to right of me hit him and jumped up like 4 feet in the air and I saw him rolling out towards my lane. And I wasn't sure if was a human as rolling and then saw the arm flop and reconized the shoes on his feet, as he rolled towards my lane. I immediately laid on the air horns and was pushing a Mercedes in the sand media with my blinkers going. As the other trucker was going to the right as we split the center lanes over. And then I pulled over to the right lane down the road. A poor family in the Ford Tarsus station wagon front end was caved and smashed in. Oh the poor family and kids as they where heading to Disney land. Now was talking to the police of Fresno CA and getting a tow truck. The police officer was cool as we looked over my truck to make sure I didn't hit the jumper. Was one of the worse days of my life trucking too. Watch out for flip flop boy falling on his can in the truck stop..lol. Seen that many times, put some shoes on DA. (DA short for dumb a$$) Those are shower shoes DA. Take care and keep the rubber on the road.
WOW I’m sorry you got to see that stuff buddy. It really sucks and I really feel bad for people who do this. They have some demons inside that nobody knows about. Smiling and happy one day and next day they decide to end it all. Very unfortunate for those people in Ford Taurus and for the jumper.
I am new to your channel. I enjoyed every one of your videos. Enjoy watching you work on your Peterbilt 389. I watched the last video yesterday and tonight I'm watching leave Oklahoma to Alabama video. Did you ever pick up your new refer trailer yet. Have fun doing what you love to do. I will continue to watch.
Thank you very much brother. I’m very happy to have you here. I have actually picked up my first reefer load just today. I am very excited. Feels like the first day when I started driving.
Hey bandit, I love your truck. Did you notice you got a small dent on your driver side front bumper? I’m a retired aircraft mechanic, so I always inspect shit not just look at it. Also one of your vents on your grill looks a little tweaked, but with that being said, you still got a bad ass truckstay safe out there man from a subscriber in Southern California which I know you’ll never come this way because they probably wouldn’t allow a nice rig like that in this fucked up place
Yes sir. Bumper is damaged. I did it myself but it works properly. And grill is little messed up but it was like that when I bought it. And I’m not mad at all they I can’t come to California with this truck. California is beautiful but it’s not very trucker friendly.
Your very welcome bandit I enjoy your videos next time I get paid and after rent power and paying 4 our phone bills or and my fines that I owe the Josephine county courts in grants pass Oregon I'll send u some coffee money because because I'm your friend and I support u truck drivers including u my friend have a good day bandit

Coffee and a sandwich on me Sir! . As North Canada I swear also, sometimes in French. :-) R.
I really appreciate that brother. Thank you very much. I would love to learn how to cuss in French because to me French is one of the coolest languages in the world..
I'm sorry that happened 2 u bandit when u were young seeing dead people and that's sad what happened 2 the other guy who jumped off the overpasses prayers and thoughts 4 there families that lost their families
Your very welcome my friend and hell yeah no one should have 2 go as far as jumping off an overpass or anything else in that matter I'm just so glad I got help when I did god bless u bandit my friend have a good day

Been to that Pilgrims Pride dozen of times. That smell….WOW. Middle of no where. I’ll be thinking of you bro. Safe travels Bandit P.S. Don’t run over grandma….well go ahead, another bad driver Rooster
I appreciate that buddy. Thank you very much. 🙏🏼 I don’t know if you’ve seen some of my videos of my floor inside. I think you would like that as well.
@@quality_steppa_ I appreciate that buddy🙏🏼 whenever you get out here on the road do not be afraid to ask for help. Drivers are always willing to help other drivers. Do you have job lined up after school?
I have been in Pennsylvania at least once a week for many years. But it’s been a while since I have been there. Now that I got this reefer trailer. I am very sure that I will be coming there soon..
Man that’s crazy I follow another driver from RU-vid that constantly picks up from that delivery location. He hauls chicken loads up to Costco in Jersey.
@@OTRBandit Hit or miss on load times as it depends on how much product they have ready. recent video he got loaded a day earlier so the warehouse can make room for weekend pick ups. He doesnt mention how much the load is paying but his dad, friend, and himself are constantly running that route (chicken plant up to the costco in Jersey).
@@tnine3Some of those places take 2 days to load from what I’ve heard. They don’t have product ready sometimes and you have to wait for a long time unfortunately.
I've seen a couple of dead people in my life it's not good. It stays with you forever, unfortunately. Sorry you had to see that. Your right, life is beautiful 😎
How's it going Buddy. Keep that Diesel Burning. Love the video's. GREER SOUTH CAROLINA. Oh yea. Memphis Tennessee. Is rough as Hell. Why did the king live there. 😁
Thank you very much buddy from watching all the way from South Carolina. I don’t know why the king lived there. Maybe because he had a lot of security.
I appreciate you buddy. Looks like most of the grown-up babies are not watching me anymore thank God. Because nobody has complained about anything lately. But I’m sure some of the grown-up babies will find me again pretty soon. Stay safe out there brother. 🙏🏼
I know I hauled produce from out west to Buffalo ny sometimes we had really long wait times I was company driver you being owner operator mite be different good luck
Thank you very much buddy. I think it should be OK. I wanna try it and see how it is. If I don’t like it, I can always go back to what I was doing before.
Is it still snowing? My brother-in-law sent me video from New York and it’s really bad up that way around Utica area. I would just stay put if I were you my friend if it is still snowing. I freaking hate snow and I really thought that winter was over.
@@OTRBandit The temps here go up and down and feels like it could snow on some days. We just got a little bit of it the other day but only a light covering.
When you get a refer make sure it works and keep it clean and cold your going to haling thousand of dollars food that feeds feeds a lot of people so keep it clean so it won't cause fod poseing
Yes sir it is very clean. I did the washout on it actually today. Paid $45 for them to wash it out. I will have video about my reefer purchase coming up very soon.
I’m so sorry about that mistake Teresa. I know there is Ozark in Missouri as well about 10 to 15 miles south of Springfield Missouri. I will correct that mistake in one of my future videos.
@@OTRBandit it's ok I try to watch your videos cause I like them and I like to travel so thank you for that. Be safe out there. Can't wait for the next video. Your welcome for the coffee. Your are a kind person and you do your job well.
@@teresaterrill I just picked up my first reaper load here in Sioux City. Iowa and I am on my way to Dwight Illinois with it. I am so freaking excited. I feel like a little kid at candy store for some reason. Feels kinda like the first day when I started driving.
@@OTRBandit Great!! I'm so happy for you. Now you can haul refrigator things. I'm excited too. God is good all the time. Be safe and again I'm happy for you. Send a pic ok.
They aren't stealing from you, you are from them. They priced that amount of coffee in that size cup so it doesn't spill. I'm sure you would want to "collect some revenue" if you hurt yourself with the coffee.
Medium cup of coffee is supposed to be filled up all the way. Not 1 inch, not half inch from the top but all the way. If it’s like that what you are saying right now, then why are some locations filling up all the way and some are leaving it half inch or even 1 inch from the top?
