Most of the truck drivers that come to my store hide away in their sleepers while we unload and load, but there was one driver who decided to jog around the perimeter of the shopping center until we were done. I thought that was pretty amazing.

One winter item I would recommend is slip on traction aides that go over your shoes/boots it will save your knees and prevent slipping.

@tmo.48 2 года назад

Where would you find something like that? My ex slipped on ice last winter while unloading and had to take off for a month or so. His knee hurt so bad and he didn't even fall, he just kinda jerked to steady his self. Tore something that was hard to find on xray and mri.

@Connie1Fan 2 года назад

Great to see you! This is so true, funny how many people do their jobs and have their unforeseeable affairs in order. So far as a floridian there aren't that many choices on great companies companies with good jobs. Is a strange thing how the road calls, is what we love and we pay a high price for it,, I know I could do something else but is not the same, many don't prepare for our final departure, we always think we are returning in one piece. Time passes by quickly and we deteriorate as trucks do and we're at a daily higher risk than someone behind a desk, so your content is right on the spot, most don't think about it, you are a very smart young lady giving great advice to the old and experienced drivers who never prepared themselves. GREAT CONTENT!! 😊

@excavator22 2 года назад

Very nice video Shelby! Opening the tough conversations that I know I don't like talking about. You would be a great boss to work for but operating equipment is my thing!

@BM-if9zn 2 года назад

Another great video. Drivers represent yourself and your company with pride leading by example. Cleanliness is definitely one along with your dress code. Also to the teams out there be mindful of your teammate's sleeping time and don't slam the doors when they are sleeping like they will never be opened. Be safe and keep on truckin👍

I would also insert here that anyone who still have there loved ones with them, tell them you love them and visit them as much as you can!! You can never show it enough. OK......... As a former heavy equipment hauler (that still carries my class A) I really enjoy your videos and mindset. You appear to be very skilled in your profession and very knowledgeable!

This was awesome, I appreciate your explanation about self-improvement: I’m still trying to get where I want to be in life, although I may stumble at times. I have other hobbies besides driving: I would love to one day start a gaming channel for RU-vid, I enjoy working out, walking through parks when it’s warm, reading novels, as well as drawing animated characters. I also love how you’ve added the bit pieces from your previous videos on here, I almost thought that this may be your last one. I’ve contemplated on being an owner operator, and I would be the first member in my family to do so (something that the other truckers in my family haven’t done).
