You’re very thorough, keep it up..... may I suggest to never say your tired 😀, just in case there would be an incident. They could place liability on you... keep your spirit and professional attitude.
Hey everyone! At 16:30 I forgot to mention that I was at Glenwood Springs Rest Area on I-70 in Colorado, West bound off of exit 121. There were only about 3 spaces for trucks so parking is limited. If you want to see more beautiful places I get to see on my travels, consider checking out this video with some pretty epic scenery in it :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J2egJ7i2QXo.html
You really can't stop watching the videos, it's really fun. Especially the professional recordings of the ride and the recordings with the drone are so beautiful. She also speaks a lot which helps me improve my English a bit. Now I've started with the oldest videos and I've already watched 8. I actually have to do something else ..., oh, it's not that bad ..., keep going.
Still enjoy watching you back into tight spaces, (like at the end. . .,) practicing "GOAL," Get Out And Look!!! Many times drivers don't want to do this. Next thing you know, they've destroyed something!! Great videos, even with all the drama of this trip!!
SAM Whitaker As somebody that used to have to deliver to family Dollar’s I won hundred percent agree it’s almost like they said what’s the worst thing I could possibly make it for a truck driver
@@ShelbyHBTM It took me 30 minutes to do a blindside dock bump in NJ last month. I scored a GOAL at least 10 times and the team that came behind me could not hit the dock. Old cities, old roads, tight spaces. Good times
I always check the latch and tug on my trailer. I’m super paranoid of losing a trailer with 63,000lbs in it. On a separate note, I love the doggie sub titles!
J Safer. I pull my fishing boat and triple check when going on long trips and I'll check wheel temps after the first 50 miles to be sure bearings are fine. Paranoid or thorough, But never had a breakdown!
5:51 - Great job being a "steward" of the road. Too many people just get impatient, and that Honda is lucky they didnt either rear-end the Mazda or have that tire get slung at them. BTW, Taco Bell is my weakness. Now I'm hungry after seeing that taco salad!
I always kept a spare key on a cross chain that I wore around my neck when I was OTR. Sure enough, I locked my keys in the truck one day and had to put the spare to use. Saved me at least one embarrassing phone call to dispatch, anyway!
Before you picked up that truck someone knew about the heater and some one knew about no microwave Not the way you take care of your employees especial your OTR drivers!!!!
I'm 47 and on hospice care. So I can't wait to see your videos they keep me going. Be safe out there. I would like to say thanks for all the thoughtful comments. And prayers. God bless
@@ShelbyHBTM I'm just glad you can show little girls all over the world if you wanna do something you can. Especially my 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters. Thanks
I will be praying for you, you are the same age as me, and its scary, I am so sorry you are going through your situation, I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
So do you have a co-driver or a videographer recording you because this is some nice footage your getting having some one film you and film while you drive.
Hi Shelby(great name!). As an Australian trucker I feel cheated every time I see the size of the sleeper cabs you have. We have archaic overall length regulations here which means we are often forced into using cab over engine trucks with tiny cramped bunks. No fun at all trying to live out of one of these vehicles for more than a day. I love to drive. Its like meditation for me. I've never wanted to do anything else. I would attach a photo of my truck if I new how !
Dude your road trains are the longest trucks in the world... please explain to this ignorant guy what length regulations you refer to, I'm always looking to learn something new.
I went on vacation to Colorado a few years back. Amazing scenery, wish I could live there. Enjoying your channel! Love the editing whoever edits it. You are amazing!
I love your videos, and I appreciate your attitude and reactions to the challenges you face. I wish I could have stopped more often when I was driving, but, I was too paranoid about something happening or being late with my load. Also, I know a few "po-po" who used to drive OTR....myself included!! Keep it between the ditches, sister!! I look forward to your videos!! Drive safe!!
The way the car cut in front of you and almost hit the lady with car trouble happens all day every day. Epic camera work and editing on your videos. props to the cameraman!
@@thetexastrucker7934 Okay but you still have to appreciate it, some are bad but this is so amazing. I'm pretty sure you have a job but someone can do it hella of better than you can. And that's for every job not you.
@@ronijr4918 I agree with you and I also think his videos are amazing. I'm not trying to discredit him at all. I'm a trucker as well so yes anyone can sit in my seat and drive the rig down the hwy too until they have to get off the hwy and deal with all the traffic and the lights make all the turns,tight or not, and find the customer w/o making a wrong turn or hitting someone or something no excuses, then backing the trailer to the dock regardless of how small the place is or how badly it is set up with cars parked everywhere. At that point it becomes a specialty that only the people who do it all day every day make it look good and excel at it. The camera guy does his thing all day every day hence his title and his equipment. I couldn't do it w/o his experience.
@@billupstateny9151 this msg is just for you. Use common sense. When I say anyone can get in the driver's seat and drive the rig down the hwy I'm referring to someone with a regular driver license with some experience in a car or truck on the hwy on a normal sunny day and no rain. Not I70 during winter with snow and ice. Under those conditions it's not hard at all just staying on the hwy. Getting off the hwy and everything else not a chance. I've been OTR for 8 years, been thru all the major cities and winter storms many times, ain't too big for me. I know the camera man is a licensed driver. Anyone with the ability to think for themselves can realize he is there to make videos and edit for her and the company.
I carry a bike with me on the truck. One of my favorite stops is the Katy Trail in Missouri. You can part at the Pilot in Boonville at exit 101 on I 70.
Progress report , the guy suffered a broken femur /right leg . Lawsuit is pending so I can't speak further in this matter. Hoping to settle out of court for an undisclosed amount of money...
I'm from Ireland and is a dream of mine to travel America watching your videos and the beautiful scenery makes me want to fulfil this dream even more, I watch alot of American trucker videos on here but your attention to detail especially showing all the scenery is amazing keep up the good work👍
Love your videos. Thank you for being aware and concerned for other drivers out there. People are dangerously disconnected from driving, so many cars and truck are driving themselves. Not Good. Someone needs to be in control of that vehicle. Also, you are right about stopping at the different sights and points of interest. Gives your body and mind a chance to rest and rejuvenate. Love the camera work and views. Keep up a good attitude, don't let the negatives out there get you down.
I have no interest in becoming a trucker but your content is very entertaining none the less. It's great to get a sneak peek into someone else's life, especially when their life is so different from your own! The quality of your content is absolutely stunning. I have a ton of respect for what you did and what you do. Keep going girl!
Your videos have truly inspired me to drive truck so guess who got a CDL and trucking job yesterday...that's right...MEEE!!! If you are ever in Santa Rosa, CA let me know. Coffee and lunch on me.
14:37 isn't that the runaway truck ramp that was featured on the news a couple weeks ago in which a trucker with no brakes took this ramp and almost climbed the whole mountain out of momentum?
As an eternal pessimist who is trying to improve, I love your optimism and positive outlook on everything!! You always see the good in a situation and that's admirable Shelby!! Another fantastic video, I love all your videos, the awesome scenery, great music, super cool shots, and of course, you too!! 😁😁
I liked your video so much that I decided to watch it again. It was great as usual. For eating out, I prefer Cracker Barrel over Denny’s. But when I do eat at Denny’s I like to get their Grand Slam Breakfast. It’s always good. I saw your post on Instagram that said you don’t make many friends while truck driving. I don’t get it, you have over 62,000 friends that are subscribers! That’s crazy since you have only posted eight videos over four weeks. Your doing something right. Stay safe. I’m glad you made it home safely.
Hey, I find yr vlogs very entertaining and you have such a beautiful personality and attitude. I really enjoy watching ur vlogs. U also have an awesome cameraman. He is creating great pictures and is able to make me feel the atmosphere around you. 😊
Car GPS has points of Interest I think Paper maps have them too .. Vail would be a nice place to spend your 72 Hour Rest.. I lived in Dillion for two Winters and worked at Copper MT and I lived at Alta UT one Winter..
Keep on being amazing! Really loving this little mini series and have been watching you since day 1 and loving the daily Insta updates. Happy Truckin from New Zealand
A pretty girl trucker is standing on the roadway playing with a drone and you actually ask, "why is that guy honking?". Are you for real? Loved the vid. Thanx for sharin.
Hey Shelby - you didn't have to tell me about that rest stop-I recognized Glenwood Canyon. 😃 I just wanted to say I enjoyed the video. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it right! Love ya! 💖💖💖
That car with a flat was in Wichita Kansas on I-135 n lol people here like to drive on low tires till they blow out so I'm not surprised there. But welcome to Wichita, My Hometown
@@redmesa2975 They still have a speed trap in Rifle? One of the only tickets of my life was there. Would have been 1970. I know I was going slow because I was looking for food or fuel. Anyway. The policeman wrote me for 20 over and made me pay the ticket at a dropbox before he would let me leave.
@@docputer on I -70, yes. Back in 1970, that was the old 2 lane LOL ! If you watch the classic movie Vanishing Point, there a short scene when the car zooms thru Rifle. There's a station wagon with 3 or 4 kids sitting on the hood. The toddler is my sister in law.
When you said recovery I immediately connected that there was a tractor addicted to dope and alcohol. I was waiting to see what happened when it went through withdrawal systems. Would it be moody and combative like law enforcement? Would it need the 12 or 13 step follow up program ? Would it need jet airplane fuel treatments?
Your shepherd is so sweet ❤️. My parents had one when I was born he was over 100 pounds and he was named fritz from the sound of music (baron fritz vontrap)
A few years back I was going through a small town and stopped at the stop light. There was officers that approached me and asked me if I would move the truck out of the roadway ahead because that driver was pulled over for a DUI. They escorted me to a parking lot and brought me back to my truck. There was an officer there protecting my truck the entire time. It was a pretty interesting experience.
My wife and I used to frequently stop at the Echo Canyon rest stop on I-80. That was fun to stop and feed the ground squirrels there. Sometimes you could even get them to eat out of your hand.
I have my fishing rods with me at all times. Usually take note of some rivers and streams on certain routes. Will stop and fish for a while, take a small hike with fishing gear. A little different but gets me out of the truck. Hidden key is a must at all times.
Shelby is a influencer, she'll make $0.40 per subscriber. The Ad pays $4.00, if we watch it for 11sec. Companies will send her free stuff to try out. She'll be making good💰
Aaron Davis exactly how I said must be nice to have everything from the jump And must be nice to have a person to edit videos for you some of us don’t have that pleasure
Seriously if that is your bad luck I will take it all day every day. You kept the rubber side down and got the truck and load from point a to point b. At the end of the day anything else is part of the adventure. Keep up the good work and hammer down.
My two favorite spots are in Utah. The devil's slide and the reef region. I'd also have to say the top of cabbage looking down on the valley in Oregon.
@@thetexastrucker7934 it's on I70 and it's a bunch of rock formations jutting up. They are pointy, like triangles or a stegosaurus plates, reef looking. On a MUCH grander scale though. I70 winds it's way along the reef for and then cuts through and up a pass to come out. It's absolutely beautiful!!
@@TuxieTude I lived in Boulder and served our Country and was medically discharged after the Gulf War. I didn't realize I needed to ask your permission to move back home. Please let me know when it's okay for me to reside in a place that serves all my medical conditions.
@@TuxieTude by jove, ya got some "issues" there, love. ( it's called seething capitalism, btw). they do'nt give a "monkeys" about you, unless ya'v got a fat wallet. Orwell saw this shite coming in 1945.
Great vid, pretty lady, rockin music, cute doggo, amazing scenery. Keep doing what you know is best for your driving style and let the naysayers keep on blowing wind.
I drove OTR for 10 years so glad not to be doing this for a living nowadays. Love you're enthusiasm i remember being this way when i started out, but like many say this job is really is bad for you're health. I loved seeing the countryside but once i had pretty much been to all the states I was done with the lifestyle of truck stops and being away from the house you worked for and paid for but rarely see.
I wish my dog would be like that with me whenever I come home after being gone for several days. He's so mad at me for leaving him and won't make eye contact with me. This goes on for at least an hour before he realizes that he can't stay mad at me forever.
Yep. Absent minded hopper placement right there. She did great tho. Practice makes perfect. I also bet most drivers of scratched up and damaged trailers wished they had gotten out to check. Most excellent drone work too.
Shelby Thank you. It reminds me of the good ole’ days being an over the road driver. I wish I still owned my own business with my own trucks. I would hire you in a minute. Thank you.
I used to just do I tug for the longest time until I almost dropped my trailer once. ALWAYS check, takes 3 seconds and can save you hours waiting for a wrecker and hundreds of dollars in there fees
You have such a childlike wonderment about Flying the drone, I think that’s beautiful about you, so young, so many miles ahead of you, stay safe driver...!
Your'e very well equipped as an accomplished trucker and dynamic person all around. The way you handle every circumstance like a champion is superb. I can't wait to get in the drivers seat soon. Thank you a million !!
