As a retired trucker, I remember critics telling me it don't take much to drive a truck, and my response was always, between calculating hours, miles, and weight distribution, you better be an A+ at math otherwise you won't have a CDL for long.

Thanks for the information,love y'all,be safe Heather and Jason. Keep on trucking. 💛💜💚💙

I got my only ticket 15 years ago in a mixer truck. He was sitting by a small bridge. Only time I’ve ever been stopped or inspected. Thank you for the info. I learned something today

Nice job explaining. Be safe and have a nice weekend.

Nice you give out great information for other truckers stay safe out there👍🏻💛👍🏻💛👍🏻💛

Certainly a lot of factors you have to figure...you guys do,a great job... Thanks for sharing the info...

Thanks guys great info! Still learning so much from ya'll, hope you have a great weekend. Peace-Love-Expiditing!

Hi Heather & Jason! This is a good subject! Jason you cover that right on the head!! Bridge Law is the number one rule they always go for here in kalifornia. I work with lots of CHP on just this subject it was like they got brownie points every time the caught someone breaking it! Thank you for the video Peace, Love, & Expediting!

Very Informative guys. I knew what you were talking being a truck driver myself though I only drive a Tri-Axle dump truck and sometimes Quad-Axles. My Wife and I look forward to your next Vlog showing your travels around our nation. Continued Traveling Mercies to you both.

Great video again. Good work. Stay safe. Be safe.

Thank you what a great video because I didn't understand the formula for bridge laws. Now I want to say thank you now I understand it clearly now.

Hi kiddos. I totally understand about the weight thing. I bought a camper back in 2007 it match it up to a new F-150. Oh yeah that truck will pull it with no problems. But what you don't think about is when you load up the refrigerator and the freezer and all the crap you carry with you couple of coolers full of beer and sodas bicycles blah blah blah xcetera suddenly you should have bought an F250 Diesel. I totally get it😂👍

You guys are a amazing team

Good info 👍 stay safe out there

Awesome video. Really Good. Thank you for sharing, two thumbs up👍👍

Excellent video. You explained it very well. We didn't have heavy enough ply steer tires that we purchased from our local Good Year dealer. Was having poor steer tire total mileage and wear. Went to Sioux Falls, S.D dealer and he told us we weren't using a heavy enough ply steer tire. End of problem. Thank you for the video Heather and Jason. I watched it twice.

Excellent video! Great explanation of bridge law, so many drivers don't know this material. And often overlooked tire ratings. Wow, y'all should teach! If you ever decide you want off the road, you know what career to change to. Good instructors are hard to find! This is why I'll always consider you the best team running! Say hi to the babies for me, stay safe out there, keep up the great job! Love you guys.....

That little dog in the middle is awesome.

Good info guys😁🤗

Another great video . Very informative . Stay safe

Bridge Law is explained further and by each state in a Rand McNally Truck atlas. I have the 2018 version. It has all the info a trucker could need. Literally everything. Maps, mileage, truck stops with and without restrooms. I use it for route planning

Thank you for the info! Helped a lot with my search for a truck.

Great info, explained well. I knew it but had long ago forgotten. THANKS for the lesson. Where's the new one ? 😁

Great video as always guys. Love the t shirt Heather LOL :)

I think the big weight Factor with y'all too is them two babies!🤣🤣🤣🤣 y'all be safe.

Good info! Bridge Law? Who knew? (love the dogs.)

That was very interesting and right-on information. I've been watching trucking videos for the last 4 years and I've come to know a good bit about them them, they are all semi and heavy haul. You are the only straight truck video I watch, so I learned somethings I didn't know from you guys. I know too, each state has laws about the amount of weight allowed on their roads. Not you so much for you guys, but the Heavy Haul guys have to really concern themselves with each state weight requirements and also axle requirements as some recognize pusher axles and flip axles while other states don't, and some states want the truck to have a stinger, etc. It all boils down to your truck handling the load safely and the weight per axle allowed by the bridge law and the states you are going thru. That is why heavy haulers also need permits and get routed, even when its out of their way. I think Ohio has the highest most stringent laws for all trucks. You also have to be concerned about height when driving heavy haul as some states bridges are lower than others. Usually the requirement I believe is 13 feet 7 inches high for most states from the ground to the highest point of the load you carry. .........

Good information guys good video take care

Thanks for the detail

I usually carry 6600 pounds for my 26" box truck anything more yeah its possible but theres just no needs gets more sketchy lol im in Carolina and driving down hill with the freightliner. But the happy medium is that for me haha my air breaks agree also lol

Great content!!

Good info,Thank you

Good information

tractors wit 22" trailers haul a lil more also. that bridge law can get confusing. great vid

I am use to putting on 20 pallets and hauling 49,000lbs. I just can't fathom 5000lbs. that's like 2 pallets you could essentially buy a big camper and have an area for 2 pallets and you wouldn't have to stop at scales or dot inspections, you could expedite in a camper and nobody would know your hauling anything, people in campers get away with murder overloaded no CDL no medical card its my criminal mind working the system. LOL!!! Damn Jason you did your homework, info out the wazooo!! I never understood the bridge law, length of the vehicle has something to do with it if you have a 53' trailer you really don't have to worry it when you have a short trailer like a container of a dump trailer, then what happens your over all length comes down and your 80,000 lbs that's why tri axle can only gross 73280 because they have heavier axles and are shorter its complicated and ever body has a different opinion even the cops. Strait trucks don't really have to worry about it, their wheel base is set where a tractor and trailer varies day to day.

Good video, thanks much..

good video

When talking about weight you forgot to mention your two attack dogs!

I love you guys videos... Thank you for explaining bridge law. What size is the box???

Good info

Ya know ya stuff , expensive if u don’t as you said 👍👍🇬🇧

hey guys kind of getting late on my comment here had a stomach virus for a couple of days but I'm back to myself again. Jason great job on explaining the axle weights the bridge laws and stuff you do a great job on that and your drone videos are out of this world Heather I do have a question for you I noticed you guys got several appliances that you guys like to use when you cook on the truck do you go by certain wattages are does it matter what it is that you use our and do you have a favorite piece that you use to cook with a lot on there I have been curious about that. I seen the baby's back there a little bit look like they might have been having a great time looks like one of them was doing some editing of Their Own haha. Anyway and I know you guys got an anniversary coming up soon and I would like to send something to you so I'm going to ask you is it cool for me to send it to the PO box if not if you mind just sending me a good address I can send it to you guys it's going to be from me and Hope anyways you guys continue to keep up the great work that you're doing out there we love you guys very much we love the babies as always be safe continue to love one another can't wait to see your next vlog 💚🍀🚚

thank you

I have been driving since 1969. Heard a lot of explanations about Bridge Laws. My tractor is 280 wheel base. Pull 53' reefer with 48" spread axel. And I still avoid Missouri and Illinois. I am legally able but cannot stand idiots who want to push the Bridge Laws. Most of my experience is in reefer

i'd love to be able to use 14 ply tires on my truck ,, i have 18 ply tires on my truck front and rear ,, 16K powered front axle and 3x 24K drivers ,,my truck having been built as an oilfield transport truck built in 1976 is not only 8 wheel drive but also capable of transporting 120,000 pounds ,, my licensed gross is 80K however because i don't transport oversize/overweight loads in fact rarely over 16-20 tons on a 32ft 4 axle drop deck

I drove a triaxle dump truck first 3 years of my career. We could haul 82,500. 80,000 plus 2,500 for the third axle But we could only do that on state and local roads. Interstates were 52,500.

Dead on point

you guys should be instructors. so much info. thank you

Good info! Bottom line, you better know your truck! Don't just jump in and drive..

Do u guys still use the boosted boards? Keep up the great vids👍👍

In your opinion should I go to a company and get my experience that way and then come out there or should I go to a school and then try to learn On My Own by buying a truck or getting a truck or getting with a company I mean I've never driven a truck before so can you let me know I enjoy your videos you guys are so informative and I love your relationship.

Do you need a CDL for that kind of truck it is showing on the beginning of video?

Lol I was thinking the same thing. Then I wanted to know going down a grade how do you select the proper gear going if you a carrying a lite load or have load. Do you do the same procedures as a semi. I know it's alot but I am wondering and interested in finding out. Be safe out there and enjoy expediting.
