Driving for the Dough

Ride along with a load of sugar used for baking cookies, picked up in Montana and makes its way all the way to South Carolina in the back of a semi truck. Some of the sights you will see are Truck Stops in North Dakota, The Wisconsin Dells, a Service Plaza in Chicago and much more. Trucking is an Adventure!

    I watched this video on 6/23/2018 - I can really see the difference 5 years has made on Old Red looks wise........ You know I believe since they started making drivers keep a log book, then did away with paper logs because paper logs could easily be “fudged”, the E-Log has created more demand for truck drivers. You figure every truck on the road has to stop for 30 minutes, then 10 hours, etc. that is a lot of time that drivers are sitting (down-time). I know in the old days as a kid of about 17 years old, I’d load flat beds with steel bars of all sizes and configerations (25 ton bridge crane). Not only did they over load and know how to avoid the scales, they'd sleep six hours and drive the rest. To me, that is fairly dangerous, so the E-Log does two things, makes trucking a bit safer for everyone and provides more work for the same trucks and work for new truckers that are new and still learning especially OTR drivers. Of course that is just my opinion I could be wrong. Currently flat beds can't work hard enough which is a combination of the E-Log’s and our economy in my opinion. ............ I always enjoy riding along with you Jack...

    Hello Jack. I very much enjoy your videos and have been following you on your channel for some time. You need to check the ground on your turn signals. The right turn signal is okay, with the interrupter module being normal. However, your left turn signal is suffering from a poor ground, as the interrupter is operating at a rapid pace. A sign of a poor ground. Safe motoring, cheers.

    In my limited experience, if a turn signal flashes rapidly and the other flashes normally, its usually caused by a burned out bulb. Could be dual bulbs in the front with one burned out or a single element burned out on the bulb on the rear of the tractor. Just a thought cause little things like that bug me until I find out what it is.

This is not a commercial for Folgers, but the dark roast fine grind Black Silk is my go to coffee. I suspect that has saved me a huge bundle over the years. And if I happen to be caught out and without my coffee maker the "new" McDonalds coffee floats my boat. Strong isn't the right word and bold sounds wrong, but I like coffee that tastes like coffee. It needs to be hot, black and address you with authority. Each to his own.
