A Day In The Life Of A Truck Driver | Trucking At Night
Hey guys! I'm sorry my uploads have been less often lately, but my schedule has been pretty crazy with my new position as a solo over the road truck driver with my new company. I have had to switch up my sleep schedule three times in the last month which is taking a toll on my body, so please forgive any mistakes in this video by me or BKM (he's also had to switch his sleep schedule to accommodate me). Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video about my latest night run. Stay safe everyone!

Hey guys, I realize that the audio while Shelby was driving wasn't the best... I had it figured out in the last truck she drove, but I guess her current truck is a little louder in the cab so my mic picked up more background noise. I'm working towards a fix on this issue. Whether it be purchasing a LAV mic or something else, I will get it figured out. Thank you for the support, and thank you for your patience with my screw ups.

I'm not a truck driver but I've worked overnights for over 20 years. On of the reasons for the difficulties in sleeping during the day is your body is fighting against you. The other problem is if you have any deficiencies in vitamins in your diet that will also cause the sleep restlessness. Struggle to balance it is insane. Good health to you and Dakota and the rest of your family. Take care and be safe and thank you for doing your job, your keeping the country going!

I had been watching and still am IB Trucking Girl videos. Iwona has been a heavy haul trucker for around 9 years for TAG in Europe. She hauls the giant windmill blades and rotors and some other outsized stuff. She has subtitles and occasionally speaks English. She is Polish, has driven the Ice Road and Oilfields of Canada for a year because she says she always wanted to do that. She repairs her truck and trailer, cooks in the truck, drives in the convoy, has a trailer that she steers with a remote control (Goldhofer), was a high school teacher, a Miss Poland contestant but loves the freedom of the road. She's also very good with videos and has many of them. She may be the most popular driver in the world right now BUT, the personality of Shelby is over the top. Skilled with common sense and very attractive. Soothing and enjoyable to watch with a GREAT camera man. As far as I'm concerned, her personality wins the day and combined with the camera man and her dog, I feel she is the new "force" in trucking videos.

Getting older "night vision" ain't what it used to be.

Love everything about your channel Shelby please keep up the good work and tell us your opinion of the comfort of the Western Star 5700XE especially compared to the P4 Cascadia. They have the same engine, transmission, axles and wheels but as so different inside they must have some differences in comfort.

A quick comment on sleep. In the airline world we often fly what we call “rockets.” Out at say 7-8pm, fly 8-10 hours to somewhere in South America, layover 12-14 hours, and fly back. Sleep strategy for me is get in, eat a light meal, then take a sliver of melatonin. Then turn the room reefer to 68 degrees, use the pants hanger to seal the drapes, and once the earplugs are in, and white noise going, it’s off to sleep. Daytime is never really restorative sleep, but enough to mentally and physically be ready to go back the same night. The two elements that help me the most are cool environment, and no light. Sweet dreams, safe travels !

Couple of extra pro’s for driving at night, (in hot weather) pavement is cooler, tires stay cooler, less chance of a blow out, engine runs cooler. One other con, if you have a breakdown, might be awhile before help shows up. Great video, I also have loved since I was a kid seeing all the trucks lit up at night, I’m 50 now and still think it’s so cool. One day you’ll have your own rig and can deck it out in all the lights you want! Keep the videos coming. 👍😀

It’s been years since I spent time on the truck. Rest stops are scary especially at night. So glad that you have Dakota! Prayers are with you for safe travels! If that day ever comes to where I’d go on the road with my CDL I’ve learned so much by you. Thank you Shelby!

Aw, I love that I finally found a quality content YT channel for female truck drivers. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and haven't driven since. So seeing you makes me so happy. Thank you! And yes the night sky is the best. And the chicken lights are super extra especially in Texas! Loved them!

I’m glad your understanding the struggles so well, poor sleep cycles, weird eating schedules, it is extremely difficult.

When Idrove OTR back in the 90's I drove nights whenever I could. I've always been naturally nocturnal, and the traffic, especially going through the big cities, was always lighter and lot less stressful. Plus, the chicken coups were closed most of the time. I would usually try to shut it down right before sun up.

Get a memory foam eye mask. Brookstone has great ones. I need total dark to sleep. My former boyfriend was a rock and roll truck driver so he only drove at night. When I went with him on the road, the eye mask made it easy to sleep during the day. It's super comfortable. I actually got addicted to wearing it and now 15 years later, I still sleep with it every night.
