“Love’s Country Store” is a regular convenience store / gas station. “Love’s Travel Stop” is a truckstop.

33:44 Alex. Always check your maps. If you doubt a truck stop, try to find their number and call and ask. Because some times truck stops don’t show up on the map, but the pin is there.

Hi how are you doing today …

Hey Alex that amusement park is called Frontier City Amusement Park. Been there a long time. Used to take my kids there during summer vacations. Love you videos. Stay safe.

Loving the unique places you've been picking up at lately, first next to a Hospital, then next to a Amusement Park? Maybe next time you'll deliver near a haunted mansion or something.

I love how he complains about having to wait to be unloaded/ loaded but has no problem being super late to deliveries

Something I used to do when my doors would come unhooked, was I’d grab the chain on the door, give it a twist or two, then hook again. Doors never came unhooked when I went to back into a dock again

Alex way to go, you're adding one to two thousand subscribers per day, That's outstanding

never seen a car wash for semis before. they really should make those everywhere! also - don’t cut out the parts where you cook! i love your cooking videos 😂😂

Love’s Country Store vs Love’s Travel Stop. Oklahoma has a lot of Love’s Country Stores… Live and learn haha.

Great job Alex...great to hear from you and roll safe out there! Have a blessed 4th of July!

Great videos, keep up the great work, have a great and safe 4th Alex. God bless

Crazy. I live 1.5 miles from this location in Oklahoma. Its considered Edmond, OK. The water/amusement park was Frontier City. Just left there yesterday! haha. awesome. Also, watched fireworks from this exact truck stop on July 4th. Great view

Glad I came across your channel! Great vids!

I just stopped at that Love's in Guthrie, OK last week! My go-to pit stop in OK. Great place

I drive a truck too, and I have don’t use my signals or flashers even close to as much lol

Jackwagon! Definitely going to use that one! Full send Alex!

Grain elevators have scales out in rural areas that I think you could call and see if they would weigh you.

“Only 2 things from Oklahoma……steers….”😉

Good Ol’ Frontier City!!!! At one time you could get a summer pass for $39.99 and go everyday all day. It was awesome.

I love these longer videos..

To shorten the door chain just slide the first link back and use the second one

for those thinking how the hell theres no room in a warehouse for product, its not there isn't enough room its just that they unload faster than they can put away those pallets into the racks, because before they do that depending on place product and pallets need to be inspected and scanned into the system. so sometimes one truck load can sit on the dock for couple days before they get to it and trucks just keep coming

Your videos are so awesome and I want to be a truck driver whenever I get older so this is awesome to watch thank you

That amusement park is right down the road from my house! I wish i could've met you!

6:03 that’s what I do, I pretend the trucks are like 10 feet further forward and I like my trailer to be parallel with those trailers. Here is the trick. Nice and easy in reverse and turn your wheel before you start moving.

I wish car washes were like the truck wash you used, Alex.

Twist the door chain to tighten up.

I found when backing my truck, to put it in manual Reverse gear 1, so it doesn't shift to a higher reverse gear, making backing very bad.

Nice trailer today !

When he made it to the 2nd spot I was like I’ve been here it’s in Okeene, Oklahoma.

Yeeeiiiii Alex Sending you lots of light love strength abs blessings Stay safe

That blinker tho😂😂😂

47:09 they still sell the little grey ratchet ones Alex. I see them everywhere.

Nice friendly video. I hope you enjoy the fourth of July. Stay safe.

I’m a grown adult and i still love going through auto car washes lol. It’s like a low rent amusement park ride but relaxing.

Twist the chain on the door to tighten it up maybe… thanks for the video

Nobody mentioned scotty truck stop in wilton, NY. Great food, and showder are big.

Bungee cords for the doors my guy they will never come loose

your videos are awesome

Great video my guy!

Bro I was just there every single time I see a go truck I swear it be you and I think the last time I was just in Oklahoma which was a like 2-3 days ago now I think I did see your truck but I was going north bound I forgot where too 😭 I do flatbed though for melton truck lines

Loves country store is different from loves truck stop man haha

First truck. I. Learned to drive was a Freightliner. Vehicle Orientation was Freightliner. was a COE Second. Conventional.

Use your door handle and position it over the chain that will solve your problem

Hey cowboy dude sounds like you’re his good buddy!

That amusement park was Frontier City in OKC

May e you can use the long link on chain as handle to attach first short link without pinching finger just a thought

If it says Loves Country Store it’s the small gas station, you want the travel stop.

Sounds like Garmin isn't properly classifying Truck Stops from Gas Stations...maybe you can send in a Support ticket to Garmin about that. Thought that was the point of a fancy OTR Garmin device?

i see you had a decker truck just down from you one of my company drivers i drive for decker its an awesome company

Could you maybe twist the door chain one time to make it shorter.

Use a cable tie to shorten chain

I use truckers app...knock on wood, I haven't had the problem with finding scales or truck stop.

Hammer is also great. Shows you truckstops/parking along your rout if you want. I love that feature

GP Transco has some sort of facility in Bolingbrook, IL as well, right? I used to pass by it on my way to my 'Yellow/YRC' terminal. I drove LTL line-haul (regional 'relay') for them.

God bless you alex ❤

I enjoy long vlogs

Hey kiddo look at your suspension guage see what it says look where your tandems are and where your load sits in the trailer and if everything looks good you don’t need a scale. Fyi your fifth wheel should always be one notch forward of dead center of your drives

Next time, my friend searched for a cat scale and is gonna show you all the cat scales even if it isn't a regular truckstops, you know, like pilot or love's

Oh, I thought you drove for CFI,they have truck washers in most of the terminals. Did you forget?

Thank you, very good alex,( João Bosco Goiânia, Goiás,Brasil)

Good Morning Alex But Its Evening In Sweden;)

“Jack wagon” is solid. 😂

Freightliner s. we're called " The Freight Shakers " because they shske

“My adventure from Oklahoma to Illinois…” shows nothing between OKC and Joliet.. LOL!😂

You know they have all kinds of apps to find truck stops,weigh stations,just about anything you want, even I know that and l’m very very low tech

Kllm has them at the terminals also

Yard Jokey with a very short single axle yard tractor. Also with a steering that turns on a dime.. Once in a while when id come in the terminal during the daytime. I was asked to park the trailer I had at door such and such.. During the day there was always lots of activity going on in the yard. Sometimes it would take a little bit of an effort kind of like it took the kid on this vidéo (Alex) Yard guys always liked to rib a highway guy over stuff like that. Id remind them that I had a 240 inch tractor. no back window to cheat with. AND i still got it in the spot in two try's!!!

Do you ever look behind you and say "Oh yeah, I got that big thing behind me".?

Get yourself a half gallon juice bottle (plastic) with a big mouth and a bottle of bleach carry That in your truck and you’ll never get jammed up with having to pee,of course the bottle has to be empty and when it gets about half full dump it down a storm drain or in the grass then rinse it out with some bleach 😉

You went to the wash and of corse it rains.

so i am a trucker in Canada and a six hour stop like you had at the beginning of the video is usually unpaid and seeing as your next load was the next day is that essentially a un paid day for you?

times like that google cat scale ner me.

Oh my god a wash job ….about time Alex ….now keep it clean !!!!!!!…..how bout washing your filthy floor mat ….it’s supposed to be black not brown 🤣🤣🤣

Did you get out of your truck while in the truck wash? Or did you wash....and it started to rain! ARGH! Safe travels!
