A handy tip, on the back of your truck, say in the tank mounts, carry a house broom, good for light trailer floor scrubbage. Handy for cleaning windscreen as well, especially if theres swarming insects. Two things I always carried, broom and dishwashing detergent.

Atlanta rush hours are from 12:01am to 11:59pm seven days a week. Thank goodness for retirement!

Yo your funny but it's true lol

Happy Anniversary ! You both are blessed with each other many many more.

If you get a load that leaves any kind of peculiar smell in your trailer ( some shippers won't load you if there is a smell they don't like) you can get ground coffee and spread it across the floor and close the trailer doors for at least two hours. The coffee negates the smell.

food grade, this trick worked with coors, they refused the trailer, I went to the truckstop, , bought 2 gallons of water, tossed it around in the trailer, guess what? then it passed.....Truth

When you clean your trailer out, back it up over the lawn. 👌

Yep, I was a refrigerated driver for Prime a while, and Swift, and Florilli out of Davenport,IA so most of the time we needed a trailer washout, because it was required. NO Washout receipt, no loadee.lol

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY you two, have a safe and amazing time-blessings to you and your whole family!!!!!

I learned many years ago to clean out/sweep out trailer before I go to the customer. Especially in food grade. Nothing worse than having to leave shipper to get a washout if needed.

There is a guy driving a bulk trailer for food (flour, sugar, ...) and he needs to get it washed in a dedicated station every time before he loads again. Very time consuming and expensive, probably impracticable for a box trailer. But I'm not an expert, I only delivered mixed concrete long ago, and there you take washing the drum very seriously before the concrete hardens.

Happy anniversary! Enjoy your time together ❤

Good morning Justin. Hope all is well with you and your plus your load . BLESSED LOVE BROTHER 💘

It like 2 AM on the New Jersey Turnpike. From Philly to NYC. you only see a hand full of cars the entire length. Now 6 am on is a night mare.

Yep back when I was OO had to have many trailer wash outs done for food grade especially. Love your videos.

Hope you two have a safe trip and a great Anniversary weekend.

You can never hit Atlanta at the right time. It’s 24/7 crazy drivers and idiots. Safe travels

There's my old stomping grounds, I lived in Acworth Georgia Cherokee County on Forest road, I moved away to Washington state in 2012. Don't miss Georgia at all.

I was at a place in Great Falls Montana that made me, sweep out my trailer 3 times, then they spilled flour all over my nice clean floors from torn bags on the pallets.

Happy anniversary you guys travel safe

ANY type of consumable requires a "food grade" trailer. You needed to sweep it out and then hose out the remaining dust. Lesson learned. ;-)

Know that whatever amount of pressure you think drivers are under is not nearly really what the level is. Now add that on top of the inhuman effort required to stay cool with all the permanently offended you have to deal with to get the truck loaded and unloaded every day. Does anyone wonder why there is a driver shortage? I could also mention having to do every thing through shitty cell phone connections too which make me talk loud which then of course is considered being rude and yelling at some over sensitive permanently offended type. I really don't know how in the hell I have put up with it since 1998.

The shop probably saw your video when you dropped off the W900 and heard that you mentioned that you didn’t want the fenders put back on.

You can also charge the clean-out to the shipper responsible for the dirt
