You're welcome for the $25 I sent you, last video Alex. Dude even I had to notice that those seals do crack and rot, you seem to have a hard time with your trailer? Sometimes I have issues with my tandems and being a rookie sometimes setting them. I have 24 new ones on order, but I keep getting older ones that my uncle bought used years ago.

Alex at 7:14 you got back in your truck without hand sanitizer. Probably wanna do a level 3 decontamination and steam clean.

@@OceanLoverLibra I don’t know how he gets away with it. I worked for GP for over a year and I never got to shut down at 3. You drove your clock out pretty much everyday. But he is a RU-vidr and they have been known to treat them special due to them promoting the company. Was a good company too btw. I do miss it

You are really good safe driver willing to go all over the country and live in that truck. I recently got my cdl and tried melton flatbed. They flew me to Tulsa OK and I only made it through 2 days of orientation. It is in the 100s here and flatbed is all manual labor heavy lifting. Not for me gonna try dry van local or regional home at least 2 days a week out of Central florida.
