I love that the last coffee I bought for ya overflowed a little bit - got every last drop out of 'em! 😂😂😂 Had to hop on the coffee buying train on this video! And for the people who are crying over curse words - FUCK 'EM! Bring it on, love the unfiltered real world content. 😂
Thank you so much my friend. You guys are freaking awesome. But really you guys don’t have to do this. Save your money. People watching my videos is good enough for me, my friend. I will be calling out everybody’s name in the future video who sent the coffee funds. There’s a few people on this list, so just be patient my friend 😂😂 people are always crying about something. Wanting me to change this, wanting me to change that. I don’t think I can change to be honest with you. I’m too old to change.
I very much enjoy your “rants”. I learn things. I feel for you truck drivers. Watching your channel has made me more aware of the hardships of truck drivers, the dangers, and the frustrations caused by ignorant or inconsiderate daily drivers on the roads. Thank you Bandit.
Thank you very much for your support and understanding. I know that my kind of language is not used by most people but it is used by most truck drivers out here. It’s frustrating and that’s how we talk. It’s not pleasant to some people but I personally can’t help it.
Bro you gotta keep it moving and forget the people who come here asking to cut back on the way you talk. They can go elsewhere as you said. I’m here for the entertainment/informative aspect of this channel. I’ve been driving since I was 21, I’ll be 50 this year. You make a lot of good points and informative. A video I seen this morning where you talk about how this new breed of drivers will merge from the shoulder onto the highway now days from a dead stop. That’s something that isn’t mentioned nearly enough on most of these other trucking channels. Stay true to the game Bro! You and the Blue Beast are my new favorite RU-vid channel! Love the content, camera angles, editing, and your originality. Cheers Buddy Prrrrrrri
I just subscribed a few days ago. I've heard this cussing subject more than once and it reminded me of this young cat who told me he was 'offended' concerning my language. Bandit, you don't know me that well, and you have a full channel because you're a good person. Well getting back to this guy: He was supposedly a physical therapist. I was kinda upset that day. (Not at him) but at how my so-called 'family' treats me, so a few 'words' slipped and OMG, he kept talking about my 'language,' and was in my HOME with this 💩 then, on top of it all, he wasn't doing what I expected so I threw him out! I will say this again to you in now a different way: #1, Do you think during recess these kids don't curse? #2, How many kids may overhear a heated argument between parents, uncles, aunts or cousins? It hasn't been that long ago where the CB was used so much that EVERYTHING was said on it, and even today it's likely that a cussin' match could break out on a CB! It depends on where one may be though! Since you've talked about these 'man babies' and trolls comment on your language, I've listened to you closer. Bandit, the only time you swear a lot is when someone does something really stupid like damn near cause a wreck, 💩 in a plastic bag and throw it on the ground, almost hit you, like the time you hopped out barefoot and in your underwear, and even then you backed the guy's truck in and offered your phone number to the guy in case he needed help! I am so sorry about how long that this comment is, but it's not a bunch of swearing here. If so, why haven't RU-vid have bothered you, or why haven't more people said anything? I've been on RU-vid and other social media for awhile. If you keep posting like you are, this channel will continue to grow because you have great content. Thank you for great content and for your part in moving this country.😊
I remember a driver told me when I first started that the only thing we don't deliver are babies. But, sometimes that does happen I've heard. People tend to Forget that almost EVERYTHING is moved by truck. Great ride again buddy!
Good to hear you finished up some maintenance on the 389, and hope you found time to have the alignment checked. Glad you’re ignoring the complainers, they can go elsewhere. Thanks also for your note and hope will get out here to see your cousin sometime. 🇦🇺
Got everything done maintenance wise so far. Than you very much brother. And yes I would love to visit Australia but I’m afraid of flying so I just don’t go anywhere that I can’t drive.
Bandit, man that really looks like a fun truck to drive! I would come out of Retirement in a heartbeat 💓 to drive a truck like that, I wouldn’t have anything to do with freight or bumping docks though, I just can’t do it anymore. I would drive for ROARK pulling Propane tankers or BEELMAN dump trailers hauling LIME, they can operate 24hrs/ 365 days a year, those Lime Plants never close. I’d really be cautious with the Reefer business also because of STRICT APPOINTMENTS, LUMPER FEES, BUYING PALLETS, AND REJECTED LOADS, EXPENSIVE TRAILER WASH-OUTS-LONG LINES, ETC. I believe JCT/JOHN CHRISTNER got out of it for a reason. You know where all the good paying Reefer Freight goes 😂, HUNT’S POINT NYC, BOSTON MA, CHICAGO IL, NEW ORLEANS, LA, DALLAS & HOUSTON, TX, LOS ANGELES, CA and St. Cloud Minnesota. IMO 😊
It really is fun to drive until you go down underground and caves and get stuck like I did 😂😂 I think reefer will be a lot tougher than what I am doing right now, but I will just have to man and get the job done.
100%. Use to be if you had a close call the driver was doing something wrong. Now if you don’t have a dozen close calls it’s a good day. I quit showing mother the dash cam videos. She was actually shocked by all the cut offs, close calls, brake checks etc. I told her stories through the years, but when she saw the stories on the dash cam, it was hard for her to watch. The main reason she wants me off the road. No fear out there. Keep safe Bandit and we’ll check on you and your trailer tomorrow.
you beat me to it, I was going to say...do you want to watch a channel were it's all hunky doory or a Real day in the life of a trucker. Personally I don't know a truck driver that doesn't curse daily 😁👍
It’s hard not to buddy because this coffee is delicious. If you ever get a chance to stop by loves truckstop, I highly suggest you try this coffee.. it is dark roast coffee.
Lincoln from Minneapolis here….Don’t change a thing man. I’ve been watching you for about a month now and thoroughly enjoy your channel. You’re a nice change from the other trucking channels. Keep up the great work and watch out for those damn revenue collectors!
Your an awesome truck driver and what I like the best about you. I'm very proud of you and you speak your mind. I've been black balled by a company, because of an accident that wasn't even my fault. I'm very happy to be watching your channel. Your routes that you take reminds me of some of the routes that I used to take in a freight shaker Cascadia. I hated that truck, because it had all the irritating bells and whistles to it.
I'm new to trucking came across you vids. And hands down one of the funniest truckers I've come across. Fuk the sensors 😂 that's the problem with are country now everyone tryna be PG or on some soft shit. Let Men be Men. Keep up the content brotha you got a lifetime subscriber 💪🏽💯
Howdie there bandit !! Got that Pete looking large and in charge cmon kick er back !!! Lol !!! When you guna showcase that new reefer you purchased ??? Safe travels buddy ;))👍👍
Thank you very much my friend. I try to keep it clean as much as I can. That video is coming up real soon buddy. I’m already hooked on reefer, trying to find me a load. It was supposed to be ready for me yesterday, but unfortunately, nothing was ready.
Well Bandit I need to clarify that my wife, I call her mother. Sorry for any confusion on that but all good. Keep being you Bandit. The way you talk is how I talk on the road. The wife laughs when you go off a little bit cause she says he sounds just like you. LOL I think it’s just our way of life on the road. It’s not for the faint of heart. I love the grown up babies quote…you’re killing me bro
Oh, sorry about the mistake there buddy. I think every truck driver talks like this. Because we have to deal with so much crap out here that has just turned us into angry people.
I also gotta say how frigging jealous I am of that pneumatic sliding tandems!!! 😳😳 I never had those and some of my worst memories are from having to crawl under with my small sledge and pound the damn pins in !! 🤬🤬
I know exactly what are you talking about my friend. I used to have those as well. Especially on the older trailers, sometimes it was impossible to get those spins to go inside, so you can slide the tandems.
im here again along for the ride. say what you need to say and dont worry about the rest. man you crack me up sometimes. my ex husband was a truck driver and he had his moments to where he would curse. it was fun riding with him sometimes.
I have actually never been inside of casino. Well I’ll take that back. One time very long time ago when I just started driving semi trucks, I stopped at the casino in New Mexico, I believe. I stepped 1 foot inside, turned my ass around and left. I only stopped there because I wanted to get something to eat but I am glad I turned around and left. I don’t like places that steal peoples money.
I wasn’t like this before I started driving the truck. I guess it comes with the job. I just had some Man Baby tell me that he has never heard dirtier mouth in the 40 years he has been driving 😂😂😂 he thinks I’m gonna get offended because he said that but I wear that as a badge of honor my friend😂😂
@@OTRBandit I was making a tight right hand turn and a woman pulled up past the line into the cross walk and didn't want to back up she was telling me out her window that I needed to back up. I just set the brakes and shut it off and said listen Karen you bitch you saw me turning and you ran right up to block me it's dumbass I'm think I'm a special bitch that everyone has to move for me. I told her I had all day started the truck back up crossed my arms and just sat there about that time city cop rolled up and made her move because my trailer had the main rt thru town all backed up it was great I waved as I drove past her
I’m truly sorry Bandit. Hopefully they come through tomorrow. Not a good way to do business. Too many companies do that. Mother says prayers for you. We’ll check on you tomorrow. Rooster
Fifty two cents below the pump price is pretty good. On changing door latches. I changed the right side door latches on my peterbilt 387 back in 2016. It was a pretty involved process. When I bought the latches at peterbilt over by Ft. Smith I was asking the client advisor at peterbilt questions about changing the latches? He didn't know so he let me talk to his long time employee and he didn't know either? I thought that was interesting that no one at peterbilt at that shop didn't know how to replace the right side door latches. At that time the truck was five years old and apparently no one knew how to change that latches? Or perhaps they didn't want to give away any information. After I started removing the inside panel everything went pretty straight forward.
Yes, sir. It seems a little hard and intimidating at first. I am working on a video right now on changing both door locks, both locks on the bunk door and also ignition. I think my video should be able to help some people because in it, I show everything. How to take the door panels off and all the stuff. They probably did you a big favor by not knowing how to do it because you saved bunch of money by doing it yourself.
Hey buddy, enjoyed being with you in your run. I agree with you one hundred percent and It's your channel. You shouldn't have to watch anything but what doing there driving your truck awesome entertainment as always my friend.
I appreciate that brother. Thank you very much. 🙏🏼 I’ve had a lot of people ask me to stop saying this or that but if I was to listen to everybody, I would have to stay quiet the entire time. Which I am not willing to do.
Thank you so much. Very soon I will be making a detailed video about my truck and I will be showing interior and all the tools I carry with me as an independent operator who likes to work on his own equipment.
I usually do around 65-67 miles an hour but there are some states over here that have speed limits up to 85 miles an hour. Which is way too fast for semi trucks if you’re asking me.
It's another one from my favorite Cardi B victim!!!😂 Hey man so as I continue to binge through your catalog I've suddenly realize what it is I like so much about your channel. It's your camera view. Most trucker youtubers keep the camera on their "pretty" mugs while they talk to us. You keep yours pointed outside so we just see your truck nose and the sights you see. Your great commentary cursing an all is just added bonus!....(I mean who goes to a truckers channel and is surprised to hear they have a potty mouth anyways???? 😂) Military members and truckers are two groups you're pretty much guranteed to learn some interesting new phrases from 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lastly, my goodness your upload speed is crazy. Eveverytime i think Im getting closer you upload a new banger! Keep up the good work. Your true fans appreciate it! SN Thank you for minimizing your Cardi "tick" I've immediately noticed its absence in your recent uploads....
Thank you very much my friend. I really appreciate that. I am still working on getting rid of that Cardi B sound as you call it but honestly, I think I just may have Tourette’s syndrome and it’s one of the ticks that comes out every now and then without me even realizing it. I like to wait that I make these videos as well because I don’t like showing my face that much. Plus nobody wants to see my ugly mug, everybody’s here for the truck not me lol
Mr Bandit, please keep on talking the way want,tuff shit what others might say being honest is the biggest reason why I listen to you.keep up the good work!!
Hi Bandit, thank you so much for adding the GPS Maps.. it’s very easy for us foreigners to see where your going👍keep up the awesome videos and stay safe😉 W&D
I appreciate you watching buddy. I am trying to include the map in all of my videos, but sometimes I am unable to do it because I don’t have Internet while I’m on the road..
We absolutely appreciate everything you manage to do buddy👍 after watching a few other Trucker videos we can see your recordings are crisper and clearer and the colours are sharp😉can you please tell us what make and model camera you are using in the Cab? Cheers and thanks again Bub
Awesome, we did wonder because our Grandson just bought one and his videos are great as well. Thank you so much Buddy.... keep the shiney side up and stay safe@@OTRBandit
Hey mate I’m a new subscriber enjoy your content being a truck driver in Australia 🇦🇺 your roads look like runways compared to the crap roads over here keep on truckin👍
I appreciate you watching all the way from Australia, my friend. I watched some Trucking shows from Australia and it is a lot tougher to be a trucker over there than it will ever be over here. Especially if you guys have to go in the outback.
@@OTRBandit yes those guys are a special breed for sure but other truckin is similar in a lot of ways to over there keep up the great work also what’s the sponsored coffee thing?
@@glennbryant9642 I am honestly not sure buddy how people send money. I just started seeing that recently. Seems like people can send money in the comment. It is much appreciated, but people should save their money and spend it on themselves. I am very happy with people just watching my videos. I do not need anything else.
We love your videos, you are the perfect example of what an otr drivers life is like day after day, if people dont like the way you talk there are other channels to watch!
Thanx for this ride out to Chenks, Ok. Did u get your truck alignment, which you had mentioned in your last video ? In the comments of this video, from a glennbryant about how good will you sleep once you start running your reefer, and your reply..Well I don't sleep too good either, as being retired as a firefighter/paramedic. Seen too much carnage that happens ! But it is what it was, keep on keepin on brah... Stay safe out there, keep that 389 between the mayonnaise and the mustard... C ya on the next one.
Thank you for coming for a ride buddy I really appreciate it. And yes, I did get an alignment done. Truck rides a lot better now. I totally understand how it is to see bad stuff buddy. I’m sorry you had to see all that stuff working as firefighter and paramedic. Some people will never understand.
Wish everyone was like you my friend. That’s why I said, not all brokers are bad. Because there are guys out there like you. I’ve worked with few brokers that are excellent people and very honest. But allot of them are no good.
Triple trailers over here are only allowed in some states on some interstates. We don’t see those out here every day. They have to stay on the interstate, they cannot come into the cities.
Very cool road to be on. I could have went straight down on 65 but I figured this route would be more pleasant and enjoyable for people to see. Thanks for watching buddy 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it.
I love using Google GPS because it tells me if there is an accident up ahead and I can go around it. I also like it because I can use Google Street view to see how the company where I’m picking up or delivering looks like from the street. I can see what color that building is and I can exactly see where the entrance is. I can also see what’s the bridge up ahead if there is a bridge somewhere. But you can never follow with blindly because it is not made for semi trucks. that’s why a lot of times you just gotta use common sense and make sure you don’t make a big mistake.
Na Man, don’t you change for nothing or nobody, you got this far being you and have done just fine, you keep being yourself, and you’re going to do even better. Especially with this outfit that’s riding shotgun with you, and you can’t even see us, which might be a damn good thing. Take care, don’t worry about what snails think about you or what you say or how you say it and Keep On Trucking!!
These people that run the government all of them don know a damn thing about trucking,pitting stuff on paper work .won’t work.they need to get their butt out there and ride with you all
Another great one Bro 👍. U know I thought u truckers talk to each other and ask if the truck stop is full or not !!! , and if ur driving hours ended what do u do if there's no where to park ?
There are apps that we check parking availability. Also, you can reserve yourself a parking spot at truckstop for a fee. But if you show up and there’s no parking spots available, you are kind of screwed honestly. And nowadays, it is impossible to find the parking spot after six or 7 PM. I’m not sure what most guys do when they show up and there’s no parking availability. Me personally, I keep going until I find a safe spot. But I don’t spend a lot of time at truckstop. I usually sleep in front of my delivery place.
I enjoy your content, great sense of humor and great attitude and pride toward your profession, I'm a professional chef believe me my language is very colorful, so good luck continue success.... also if no one enjoys your channel they can go watch another channel...
Je suis chauffeur routier français. J'adore vos vidéos continue comme ça. Je dis beaucoup de gros mots moi aussi en conduisant mais bon c'est comme ça. Bonne continuation et surtout comme on dit chez nous soyez prudent.😊
Question: what is the term truckers give themselves, “truck driver”, “big rig truck driver” or other? Just curious because there are a number of different size trucks being driven. I don’t even know if the term “truckers” is a term that’s ok or offensive.
Hello and greetings from Germany, I discovered and subscribed to your channel by accident. Can you say a little bit about your Pride & Classic? What color is that and a few specs?
I really appreciate you watching all the way from Germany. Thank you so much.. I will be making video and complete tour of my truck very soon. But the truck is 2016 Peterbilt 389 pride and class. it is a glider truck and he has 1998 Detroit at 60 engine in it. 13 speed manual transmission.. this color is called Viper blue.
Hello brother from Sunny Florida. Hope this ride along is as good as yesterday. Man I loved your color commentary on your last vid. Man never apologize when someone does you wrong or anything like that. You have to stand up to people every once in awhile to stand your ground. So you cuss when you get upset, so what. I do the exact same thing so I am in agreement with you about people that sometimes need to be put in there place. Be it being rude for no reason or whatever. Like you say. It is what it is. Anyway your vids are awesome and I enjoy seeing different places and just enjoy the issues at hand. So Be safe and just keep doing what you’re doing. Yea Buddy. Prrrrtttt !!!!!!!
Thank you very much my friend 🙏🏼 I really appreciate that. I’m up here in Iowa right now and it’s freezing here. Wish I was down in Florida right now honestly.
@@OTRBandit well hopefully you will get you a load that will bring you this way. It was so hot this last weekend. A/C was running most of the day. Need to hit the beach 🏖️ this weekend hopefully. It’ll be a nice day to do that. Iowa can get pretty cold at times. Just stay warm till you get this way. Until then, Be Safe and show that Blue beast you drive off in Iowa. Best truck there !!!!!!! Prrrrrttt
I thought I cursed like a longshoreman😂. But I'm with you, IF ppl are butthurt by your language? Then DONT WATCH! LITERALLY FFS! & **I** Knew Fck in 1983 in the 3rd grade among lots of other verbiage. Grew up in an Extreme Neoconservative Southern Baptist home. Like went to church 5 days a week! Boy Scouts was Too Liberal 😂, so I was a Royal Ranger(pentecostal small town lol). Went to "Christian schools" & let me tell ya those kids are WORSE THEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS!! Which I only went to 3 yrs - MY big point is, I knew cuss words in the 80s as a kid in an extreme right wing Christian home, like my adopted parents were Missionaries! Lol - why everyone pretends to be "Offended" by FCK it's just a word! It's an expression so? Chocolate cake is a word too. So train yourself to hear Chocolate 🎂 when he or anyone says FCK! 😂
I’m still here waiting for them to fix everything. They said it was ready but it isn’t ready. Unfortunately I’ll be here until tomorrow I think. Hopefully they fix everything otherwise I won’t be getting it. I’m very sad and disappointed at the same time.
You say that Brokers are Fucking Crooks, You're just now figuring that one out Bandit ?? I've been in this game for a while now and I figured that one out that Brokers are Liars and Crooks a long time ago and I don't trust ANY OF THEM and I never will
I think I’ve figured that out the day I started driving my friend. I’ve had handful over the years that I could say are excellent people and are very honest. But majority of them are crooks and liars.
Hey Bro I gotta Q. Do I have to start off driving a stick shift truck? Or can I go into an automatic semi? I ask because I have an issue with my left leg... ankle doesn't flex downward like my right one does. I'm a little worried bout this...keeps me up at night smfh fml
You can drive automatic. You would have automatic restriction on your license but that’s not a big deal because most trucks now days are automatic. I’m sorry to hear about your leg problem buddy. But yeah, you should be just fine with that automatic restriction on there.
