Struggling To Find The Shipper: Common Trucking Woes 

Get yourself a gas station type window squeegee; the all plastic kind. That, and a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of regular dawn dish soap mixed in. No paper towels needed and spotless glass with very little effort. Works like a charm even with heavy salt buildup. Store the spray bottle inside with your other cleaning stuff and keep the squeegee in your side box. 👍😎👍

Hello Shelby for a dying man everytime I watch your videos a always puts a smile on my face thank you.

You are one hard working lady. Amazes me that you can video so much while trying to get job done.

Be safe and never panic as you know. Find safe place to park and either Google place you're looking for, if GPS doesn't get you there, or if number and can actually get somebody that can help you get directions is another option. You've been driving long enough you know this. Hope helped some! 😉

Glad to see you back sure missed you and Dakota. Hope to see more of your travels.

Now I'm retired but it's nice to remember when I traveled for two or three weeks I prepared all the things just like you.

First, please be safe on your travels. Try using newspaper instead of paper towels. Like I always tell my friends, Shelby, I am proud of you. Happy New Year, and I am looking forward to seeing how 2023 treats you! Give Dakota some love for me.

You have to love going in the Freeport Center. I work out of a yard in Freeport West. I avoid the main Freeport like the plague. With all the trailers sticking out in the roadway and the railroad tracks crushing your spine, that place is a nightmare.😩

Is one of the most aggravating parts of this job, loosing time looking around for the correct building around the right address. cold and rainy, then road conditions slowed you down, I could see it, not fun. Glad you made it safe and a drop and hook 👍 You need a squeegee, I'm short too, 5'0" 😁 I need all the help I can get cleaning those windows efficiently, before freezing Well, take care, looking forward to your next post while you're keeping the 2023 countdown going!! 🥰

Yes I have backed into buildings before in Chicago and St. Louis picking up meat in the box , and it’s some times hard to do thanks happy new year 🎆🎈🎊 good job thanks BigAl California

Use vinegar, it helps cut through the road salt, I use 50-50 water vinegar, the windex with vinegar also works kinda

There's nothing I hate more in life than being lost/not knowing where I'm going so props to you and all truckers that have to deal with looking for the place you're going to! Also, I still dream of the day where we can buy Bright Mountain merch, love both the hat and the hoodie ☺Oh and for the glass, glass cleaner is the best but never tried any of that canned stuff so I can't say but the regular cleaner does a pretty good job!

I used a few different things while driving, I hate not being able to see well.. But I found what I think is the best EVER.. I bought the tool set for window tinting and the little squeegee that comes with it, it’s the best yet, but you gotta make sure that you get the one that looks like the bigger squeegees at the gas stations… The best part is for my mirrors, it fits perfectly for them, one swipe down and clean as can be.. I even do my driver side mirror while driving, it’s that quick and easy.. Stay safe and love your videos..

I believe your doggy is anxious because you are anxious. They can pick up on your emotions very well

I'm driving truck vicariously through you while my license is suspended. I hope you don't mind lol. OMG I can't wait four more years to apply for reinstatement.

Dakota anxious and in your seat? She knows that you are not feeling good and she is protecting you. Glass cleaner, find an Amway dealer, or maybe on the internet, look for See Spray. Their version of glass cleaner. It's amazing and your glass will not fog up afterwards even in the shower if you had a mirror nearby it doesn't fog. Big hug for Dakota. Looking great, those dang warehouses look confusing because they all look the same. They need to put numbers on them. LOL

"All my socks I have left... Halloween socks... need to buy more" reminded me of.... 😄 One way I know I need to buy more clothes (like socks & underwear) is: I can pick up and hold the ENTIRE load of dirty laundry with ONE hand, and the only other thing I have left is the ones I'm wearing. 😛

Keep on trucking sweetness❤

If you have overnight headaches. It might actually be a migraine, ive found the pedialyte does wonders, i always keep one in the fridge for those kind of days

I love your videos thank you for all the hard work you put into them I also Drive a big rig so this is great be safe much love to you and your puppy

Great editing , tunes and content. Thanks

You give off strong Sandra Bullock vibes. Good luck on the road. I’m glad I don’t have to drive all over the place to find deliveries anymore

You and Dakota are the Coolest of cool in trucking (Shelby we feel for your troubles in finding addresses)...my beautiful best friends ,MY German Shepherd Alisey...and Black labs MARY USE TO ALWAYS LIKE SITTING BETWEEN MY BACK AND MY TRUCK SEAT TOO....I liked it when Mary and Alisey did it too.....fun memories 😀❤😊Shelby you are sooooo lucky to have a good loyal best friend "**Dakota ""***

On convention and music tour loads❤

Thanks for sharing dear, please be careful and stay safe out there

I’m in the process of working towards my CDL and it’s really inspiring to watch you and Niesha K do your thing on the road. It’s really awesome to witness. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with your viewers. You’re so cool! 😊

Just watching her videos makes wanna do OTR

❄️🎉 Happy New Year 2023🌻 🎊🎈Young Beautiful Lady 🌹🎼🪅🎇 Best Wishes and Be Safe 🕊️🍀 from Susie 🌺 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA 🇺🇲🎼☮️⛄

Thanks for not telling us to " like & subscribe-blah blah blah." Such a mindless thing to say these days. I like the show. Good music, shot and edited well. You show what it is like to be you, staying connected to the world (via the internet) through your solitary moments, creating these videos, making art of your life. I like the show, it's simple and tasteful. 😎 You seem real, earnest, and capable. It's inspiring to see.

Happy to see you and your epic living!

Caffeine is great for headaches! Coffee is good and so is a pop and lots of water. Hope it helps the next time you have one! Also, use newspaper when cleaning your windows. Regular windex and wipe them clean with newspaper!

Great video Shelby and Dakota

Happy New Year Shelby and Dakota ❤️

Water and a small squeegee is all I use on windows and mirrors. You're a hard worker Ms. Shelby, take care of yourself girl. God Bless

Great video! Safe travels Shelby and Dakota 😀👋🐾💕

Good to see you, Shelby. And my sweetie Kota. She has such a big personality. Be safe.

The beauty of Utah's open spaces, the pleasant speeds, the low number of cars on the road, it's worth it before it turns into some kind of Jersey City .

Hope all is going well. Glad you made it and are safe. Take care!

Safe travels trucking Shelby and Dakota

Watching Shelby 🥰 Nice to see you .. get some rest!!

I am sitting at a consignee in north carolina..been in the dock now 6 hours and counting..thankfully I live in my truck so I'm prepared..I hope you feel better soon

Another great video thank you for taking time out of your already busy day to take us on all of the wonderful trips be safe love the pup Kota she is so fun to watch

Been enjoying your daily videos.

Safe travels , your very smart, very gorgeous woman. Seeing your videos is always a joy.

Yes some parts of Utah it's very difficult, especially with those weird # streets etc. I feel the pain. I admire you making a positive impact in a potentially very negative and rough environment great job Shelby.

First! Loving these daily uploads.. i hope things are on the up and up

Wonderful landscape!

it can't all be rainbows n teddybears well done getting a video out under this pressure Shelby 🤗🥰

the truck must be happy to explore again

You are an American treasure! Trouble free safe travels for you and Dakota.

I used to hate getting lost looking for the shipper or receiver. For me it was the worse feeling I could have. GPS now makes it so much more easier. A lot of the pressure is off of you. Never fails it’s raining when you have to get out of the truck and you can’t get close enough so you get drenched, being 40 degrees doesn’t help either. I would imagine it really helps having your puppy with you. Thanks for the video, have a great and a safe day, happy trails and happy motoring, Happy New Year

Them mountains with the snow caps♥️

I it's philip hope you are well and enjoying life to the full.brilliant vlog. Decoata is looking well. My German shepherd used to like tennis balls with a racket you just hit the ball and he would fetch it. brilliant for the summer. as well as winter.roll on summer I hate the roads with ice and snow on them. Take care and happy new year to you good luck for 2023 🍀philip. 👍

Good video, GPS can be aggravating at times. Last few days I've had same issue trying to keep windows clean on my truck. Stay safe out there

Nice video, your choice of music is great👍

If my windows are that dirty I spray it down with window cleaner and use a squeegee and than a dry paper towel . Keep up the great work be safe Happy New Year and may 2023 be even better

What I did was purchase an expandable wands like at the truck stops to wash my windows and squeegie them. I use rubber gloves, neoprene big enough to to put my winter gloves into, and wet down the sponge part with windshield washer fluid. Then I wash the windows, even the front ones from the ground. I have to tilt the hood forward. When I am done, I squeeze out the remaining windshield washer and place expandable wand in my lower side box. It will not freeze because I used windshield washer to ckean the windows. I do not get streams either. I hope this helps! Happy New Year

It could be worse, I once walked a bunch of Marines 7 miles the wrong way because I can't read a map. Nope they were not happy.

That is a fresh cut potato rubied on the glass you want to stay clear

Your good attitude seems to carry you through the hard deliveries, alone times, and pounding headache. Dakota being at your side helps you cope. Thanks for sharing the tough delivery and wasted time because your paperwork lacked a phone number to call. Yikes! One little phone number wudda' saved you hours of searching. You handled the glitch well.

Hi Shelby and Heckin Dakota!!!!!

what i use is a wet magic eraser followed by a microfiber towel to dry then use invisible glass cleaner (get it at advance auto) with a microfiber towel, safe travels

Hey Shelby do you ever get scared driving a truck up mountains? Yesterdday was going up a moutain range here in jamaica,behind a truck and the more narrow the roads got i thought maaaaan this is sketchy, we overtook the truck and hauled ass 😂

Hope you are doing ok.

Hello Shelby and Dakota !

Use what works for you always .

It would be so much fun to ride along with you! I enjoy these videos.

Sorry you had issues finding that shipper and had a bad headache. What a confusing place. I'm no longer with FedEx Ground either. Got an amazing job with ESPN (in Nashville right now). I remember seeing you once at 432 when fueling but wanted to respect your privacy. Your videos are real...and that's why I like you and your channel. Hope you have an amazing New Year Shelby! Stay safe.

Hope your doing well, miss seeing you.

Hey love your videos

Like the socks, & the 🐝 on your shirt 😊

try microfiber towels to clean your windows.

Hi Shelby and Dakota. My shep ate my turkey hero today.

Spray way makes the best glass cleaner!

Not cool of them to keep you waiting around for 4 hours, but it all worked out. And girl, you can move! lol just kidding. I know you sped up the footage to save time. You might want to buy a squeegee and keep it in your truck for when you have to clean the windows. I don't know if it will help prevent streaks but it will be easier. Anyway, Happy New Year and be safe out there.

It would be a lot more enjoyable trucking with you..without a doubt❤

Use waffle weaved microfiber towels. Use one to clean the window cleaner off and then use a second waffle weaved towel to buff off the rest no streaks. Because them streaks at night time bother the crap out of me 😂

I get nasty headaches sometimes too, and I've found that a great remedy is extra strength Goody powders. Basically just powdered aspirin, but it works great for me. Maybe keep some in your truck?

Google maps aren't always right !

I know it's got to be tough to do more of a vloging video. I'm sure it's alot of extra work and hard cause we're human and life's not always dealing is rose's but I like these type of videos.

Got to love Freeport center or places like it that were once a military depot! 😉

It has been said Potatoes rubied on the glass will keep it clear of water and maybe ice

Just regular old Windex (not the ammonia free) is the best window cleaner I've used. I hate the stuff they sell in the cans at every auto place. Leaves too many streaks, impossible to get squeaky clean. I also keep a bottle of bug and tar remover, and occasionally will spray the windshield with it, and it gets all of the bugs and other little specs off the window. It basically works to "super clean" it, and as a bonus, leaves a residue film that works as Rain-X.

I have always wondered how you navigate those really big shippers complexes and now I know it can be a nightmare by the looks of it. Really hope your headache when away and the coffee helped. Glad your autofocus is working again. The rain makes such a mess your of truck. Is that salt spray on the windows? The scenery on the road looks absolutely amazing.

90% Alcohol will clean your windows just great’. ❤ GET SOME GOOD REST SHELBY 💐.

I dropped hazmat upon renewal of license this year

The base had storage at Freeport center I use to have to bring loads from base there. They said get in that truck go here not asked if I was licensed or not to drive the truck lol but this was back in 92 we just done our job

Looking forward great 👍 driving truck 👍👍👍❤️🇦🇺

Get those streaks off your window just take a dry paper tile and rub it like if you We're polishing

Great video and some deliveries were info is bad for the location can give you a head ache, especially on the first run in a while lol

Makes you miss paper maps. 🙃Oh oddly enough newspaper works great for cleaning your windows with the window cleaner.

Your headache may have been from some stress, anxiety of not being able to find the dock, a bit of panic (adrenaline) and fatigue. I know I get a wicked headache from a sudden panic ("omg where's my wallet!!?" type panic) and that's the adrenaline being pumped. It sucks but the best thing to do is take something for it and try to relax, even if it's just mentally. Dakota senses your not feeling well and is trying to comfort you and protect you. You have a lot going on in your life right now...take it day by day. You're going to be ok!

Streaks on the window are cause the sun was on this window so dried it up before you would wipe it down

HECKIN READY, HECKIN READY! - DAKOTA

Shelby, another great video be safe . I know it is to late but good Llc name could have been “Rainbow Rabbit llc”. 😊 Happy New Year 🎉. Wishing you the best that 2023 has to offer, all good things.🙏🌹🌺🌸💐🤗

Hey! I've delivered in McCarran! Only once though

Try just plain ole vinegar and newspaper to clean your windows. It usually works very well

I cringe every time I get a pickup at Freeport. That place is a nightmare.

You look lovely in the video

Cold rain is about as miserable as it gets. Not the worst driving or most dangerous, but when you get out into the weather, it just sucks. I don't envy you that. Trying to find an address that is ... all screwed up is the pits; combine that with cold rain as you go from door to door trying to do your job is really awful. I love it when people give directions that work for a pickup, but there is no way to get a semi in there on that route. Been there. Had to take street signs out of the ground to get in and out of a delivery. Ugh. And although google and other map programs are usually helpful, but when they are wrong, they are really wrong. Working things out in your mind while driving? Been there too. You can have a lot of time to think as you go. How far do you get to go from Reno? As long as it is east a bunch, you should do ok. I never cared for those shorter runs - too much time wasted loading and unloading. I found them more stressful and tiring. Damn. Sometimes I miss the road.
