Saddest part is there is usually a big ass trash can right by the door on your way inside or by the fuel pump, or behind the trucks all around the perimeter of the truck stop.

I love it when climbing an incline, they cut in front of you. You have to hit the breaks and lose your momentum. Idiots!

I ran at night whenever I could. Less traffic, fewer traffic jams, fewer low speed governed trucks clogging up the hammer lane, faster average cruise speeds, (my truck was governed at 83mph) I covered more miles, and there was no clamoring for parking, or waiting for showers at the truck stops. I didn't overheat when climbing mountains. The downside was that it seems like I was always tired.

On my first trip as a company driver the qualcomm tried taking me under a low clearance bridge. I stopped, never made the turn and kept going straight to get the hell out of there. Using common sense and being patient is a major key to success in professional driving imho. I know sometimes it’s hard to be when having a bad day but taking a breather and refocusing ourselves could very well save our lives and the lives of others.

What CB channel are truckers using usually pls ??

Pre trip inspection is the first RULE in Trucking SAFETY FIRST

Anyone who says GPS has never failed him/her has never been in a old city with small streets... I had it just few days ago directing me to a street with not enough clearance for trucks in St. Louis Missouri... if you have ever driven in a highway with a street right by it’s side it can get confused and tell you to get back in the highway while you are driving in the highway... anyone who trusts the GPS 100% at some point will end up in the wrong street or under a low clearance bridge... Every time I see someone driving 20 feet from the truck in front I literally slow down even if not in my line. Just saw a video of a accident involving about 5 trucks and 2 or 3 cars, just the aftermath. Pretty sure those trucks were driving too close to the vehicles in front, pretty sure several people dead, truck drivers and 4 wheel drivers... DO NOT TAILGATE... ANYTHING GOES WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO STOP.

Tailgating is the number one screw up for drivers! Common sense..use it!

Get out and look? Absolutely!!! Especially at the kingpin jaws even after a tug test. (Double sure) If you're doing 2,000 miles, 2 minutes checking is nothing. Whatever you aren't sure about (traffic can wait) get out and look.

I’m currently going through my CDL training I’m 50 years old. I used to run Highline car dealerships as a general manager.

I hear ya on all points that you brought up. I've been driving a big rig off and on since 98' and what really gets me is the lack of trucker etiquette. Like just the simple act of blinking your marker lights to thank someone for giving you the right of way or letting you over. That seems pretty much non existent. Tailgating is a big issue as well just as much as not having or using a radio. The radio is such a crucial tooljust as you said. But I'm just old school. I still walk around my truck every single time I get out and just before I get in. Keep on truckin man.

Dress like a professional, clean shirt, jeans or work pants, and work boots, especially in Flatbed. You are not at the beach, you are working and when you show up to job-sites looking like a bum, you make us all look bad. Related to this, clean yourself up and brush your teeth. There is no excuse not to shower, shave, trim the beard and BRUSH your teeth, again especially in Flatbed if you've been securing and tarping in the heat! Also dragon breath is never pleasant especially when everyone else can smell it from 10 feet away. Last gripe. If you need to call dispatch at the shipper or receiver, do that outside and get out of the way. First its hard for the rest of us to have a conversation with the person behind the desk while you're yelling on the blu-tooth, second it's just rude and none of us need to here your business.

Be a professional.

I've always admired how these guys can manuver these monster trucks! Especially in places like NYC!🥴

Oh I can’t stress the P.T.I enough. Just last week had a company driver who was in a rush, so he pulled into the yard started his truck and left. No walk around or anything. 120 miles down the road, his front left steer had come off completely, wheel hub leak. Only reason the company knew he hadn’t done a pti was because of the yard cameras. Could have been completely avoided

I got stuck in a 26-foot box truck on a one lane dirt road in Marble, Colorado because of GPS.

My second solo load. I did a post trip. Everything looked good. Went into Loves came back and had a tire separated from the rim. Lucky for the truck stop had a repair shop. I don’t have a cb yet. Its on my list. For me it’s been a gradual build of equipment.

Thanks, I'll remember that when I get in the seat.

Most of these drivers today are in trucking for the wrong reasons, it's about getting a paycheck, they couldn't care less about being professional. Like you, we're into trucking because we like what we do, that is why we "take pride in our ride" and be professional

One thing I would change when you talk about the GPS is that the Atlas needs to be a CURRENT TRUCK ATLAS and not a random atlas from wherever.

Love seeing your rookie driving tips. I’m a rookie and love learning. Keep them coming....

I went driving with my stepdad when I was a teen and he never baught a GPS...i had to give him directions based of atlas learned alot...never trust a GPS..truck stop pocket book a handy thing to have

Great advice! Love the saying "Take pride in your ride, and yourself".

A dirty rig is a magnet for the DOT. Given a choice DOT will pull in a dirty rig for an inspection before a clean one. Plus a clean machine is less likely to have breakdowns and problems. It’s easy to spend a few minutes while waiting to get loaded/unloaded to pick a spot to clean. Your truck will start looking better before you know it. Even though I have a company truck I treat it like it belongs to me. That way if / when I do get my own truck, I’ll be in the habit of keeping it clean. The icing on the cake is that I have gained a reputation with the other drivers and out of respect to me and the efforts I’ve put forth no one will use my truck. Keep up the good work and stay driven!

I am a newbie and everything u said is truth. collecting loves points for a good cb.

Rookie drivers *points at self* NEVER pull forward into a parking space that you have to back out of. When you are leaving, you can't see to the sides around the other trucks, and people and vehicles WILL be moving across your backout path.

Glad to be back on the road, already been driving a month and getting back into the groove of things. Thanks for the reminders as I watched this video again. Always do a inspection at start and end of the day, it is worth it, found wiper fluid low, put in a bottle. Always keep spare wipers and fluids on the truck. I use all the room I have, most of the time you have to especially in road work zones. Getting better with backups but defiantly take practice which I do when I can. Luckily on a regional account so go to a lot of DC centers where I can practice. Stay safe out there in the road and look forward to your videos.

I wish everyone would hear your message. You provide a lot of wisdom. Thank you.

To touch on pre trips that can save you hours is to do your pre trips off duty and post trips on duty. DOT requires one or the other to be on duty, but not both. My reasoning is if you start your clock during your pre trip and find a problem that needs immediately attention you can't stop that 14 hour clock anymore. You can go over a few mins during post trip as long as your tires aren't moving and you're parked for the night. I hope this helps someone and it would be cool to hear you go over this again while giving me a shout out. Shaun Sopczak ( soap check).

@admsinclair6663

Жыл бұрын

Taking that one step further... Assuming you do a THOROUGH post trip; doing a simple walk around in the AM is still a smart and reasonable option. Someone could have broke a light or mirror out backing into you, someone could have pulled your 5th wheel as has already been noted. A leak may have developed overnight (especially if idling overnight). There is absolutely no good reason or excuse, other than just simply being lazy, to not do, at minimum, a cursory walk around in the AM prior to departing. Anything less and I ain't hearing you.

One thing you forgot to mention about doing PTI's everyday before setting out is check the temperature of your load make sure it is set where you left it (very handy when pulling reefer trailers), also lower your landing gear and do a tug test to make sure you are still connected to the trailer. Assclowns may have pulled the fifth wheel while you were asleep, or if you drive for certain companies (cough Swift) you might have been targeted just so you end up on Facebook for doing a "premature trailer drop" at the TA

Anything less than that is no guarantee. if some evil, nasty or vindictive person pulls your 5th wheel, simply putting the truck in reverse and forcing it backwards will not re-lock it. You have to drop the landing gear, pull forward a bit then back back into it. It take a specific amount of pressure to re-lock the jaws. If your already backed under it and had it locked, you cannot get enough pressure to re-lock by simply putting back pressure on the 5th wheel.

Every vehicle that gets driven fast wears out fast, especially ones that aren't built for it. Someone else here said slow is smooth, smooth is fast, and it's more true in endurance racing and high mileage driving than anywhere else. Top speed does way less to boost your average speed than the downtime it costs due to extra fuel stops, tickets, accidents, and maintenance. 10 miles an hour over the limit is nothing compared to 65 miles an hour under it while stopped! Average speed is the most important factor next to total miles when it comes to our checks, and the only way to really improve that is to minimize your avoidable downtime. Relax, exercise, eat right, stay fresh, and drive smooth.

All good tips man. I'm sure more experienced drivers could writes a book on all the scary stuff new drivers do. I've got only 6 months experience and have made mistakes I'm not proud of but I've also seen a lot of unbelievable stuff that is beyond comprehension so I will add this advice for new drivers. Always remember that you are new and ignorant with no experience, which is the best teacher by the way, and to be successful you must take it upon yourself to learn the skills you need to be safe and efficient. Don't think that just because you were able to get through trucking school and pass a CDL test at the DMV by the seat of your pant or shear luck that you're a professional driver. I don't care how smart you think you are either because life is always gonna throw you curve balls, especially in trucking. Number one. You have to be safe out there and that's on you.

All boils down to being a professional. Any true professional cares about how they present themselves or their employer to the public through equipment appearance, their personal appearance, courtesy to each other and the public, and the performance of their duties to include driving and securement.

Now throttle off and steer it to the shoulder. When you get stopped then you can relax all the way. When backing in... can you see it in your mind?

You're right about GPS, I'm just now getting started. Helping my son out so he can have a small hot shot job. And I follow the GPS, I wound up on a hairpin turn straining to get up a hill on construction on a cliff side. Old-fashioned-looking is the 100% way of finding out where and how to go

Thank for video

I’ve had my copilot system fail me so many times. Since day one I’ve written my routing on a notebook for quick look at where my turns and when.

Lookn to get n trucking. Got my permit for now. Loven the advice and lookn forward to a new career

Just very common sense stuff. Well said. Direct and to the point 👊
