I'm not American nor am I a truck driver, but I just can't help myself watching you're videos. It's fascinating just watching someone else work, driving and doing normal world stuff...half way around the world. Great commentary and always a relaxing, entertaining watch. Keep em up!

4:52 that jeep sent the hell outta that red light. Stay safe out there dude all it takes is a guy like that at the wrong time to make a day go bad.

Dave! I passed my road/skills test today! Thank you to you and the other viewers for all the helpful hints and tricks! Also thank you for talking about MTS, it helped a lot. Off to 6 weeks of training I go! Hope to catch you on the road sometime!

😆😆 listening to you get the load was hilarious. It always happens that way. Sometimes you do get enough time to still squeeze your shower or lunch or whatever in. Still pisses me off when I'm wasted my drive clock to go somewhere and then have to go somewhere else

4:53 that dude blasting straight through the red with his jeep

Hello everyone hope you all have a great day 👍🏼

I live in NW Pa against the NY border and 3 of 4 of my neighbors are Amish and I can tell you they're the most honest humble hardworking people you'll ever meet.

Good video Dave. FYI on blind side backing. Since you have a window on the passenger side of the sleeper, you can look out that sleeper window and for the most part see the back of the trailer. Stay safe out there driver.

Blind side, ok. Move 5ft back, set brakes, GOAL. Repeat. Be safe, have fun.

You just reminded me how in school they say "never blindside" or "never back if possible" it's like "dude, I have to do all of these things!! More often than not 🤨🤣

Be safe on he road Dave!

If I ever have to blindside in, I’m parking my drone above and watching the feed to back me in

When I know I’m blindsiding, I was taught a trick of looking through the passenger sleeper window. Try it in a parking lot but it’s another view besides the mirrors. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

"That's truck'n Dave, that's truck'n" lol I love the way you practice "G.O.A.L." (get out and look). Remember girls & boys, the secret is baby wipes ! In the truck always have : a bucket w/ garbage bags (& cat litter), toilet paper ... and baby wipes (emergency shower)... AND A DASH CAM... God bless folks... Oh yeah ! ... We saw it ! Boom ! lol

Colt 45 “woah good morning ladies”

There was this blind man right he walked by the fish market and goes woooooooo good morning ladies hahaha

Lancaster Pennsylvania you were right

I came across a moto madness video from 4 years ago and it's little ol Dave on I believe a 300 and he's looking and clucking at some chickens and running through the forest like a horror movie. That riding with Dave dynamic is the same. Really wish I found you from motovlogging days. It looked funny as all hell, but still loving the trucking content. Keep up the great work

I live in Northeast Indiana and I see Amish people all the time. My first job was Burger King and they came in almost everyday and they would stink up the whole lobby. Nice people but I wish they wore deodorant.

Haha! 😅 definitely, I don’t get bored with your vlogs, bro!

nice video & there is a county in pennsylvania wich is amish country

That trailer door creak, like a haunted house door... you need to use that sound effect in a vid somewhere. Maybe, late at night, when you're in a dark lonely location, unknown place, & you go to open the cab door and ... creeeeeeek and Booom ! scary mask hanging in the cab ( there's a halloween idea for ya). God bless.

4:51 that Jeep didnt give a F about the red light, lmao

Colt 45 and 2 zig zags baby that's all we need

Thanks for the trucker voice love that for me lol again Dave but the greatest moment was 4:47. And the laughter with it magnificent

I live in Wisconsin! It’s kind of boring here Wish I new you were coming to Wisconsin Dave. We Welcome you with open arms. Drive safe brother. God Bless

Looks like you’ll be heartland Express. Their trucks are governed at 64

That 15'6 scared me again because I'm currently in training and yesterday I drove my trainers truck for the first time and with all the intake of numbers I've been doing I saw a 16' sign and freaked out and tried to get off the highway but remembered right after and laughed and said at least I'm paying attention to the signs!

Next time your in the Indy area start riding doordash I’m a dasher in the area And would die to meet you You don’t even have to tip Meeting you would be enough❤️🤘

I don't think blindsiding into that dock was even necessary, but I'm not going to question your own decision to do it that way. Sometimes blindside backings really are necessary, and you can't get good at blindsiding if you don't practice them - including occasional situations that don't require them. This place looks like a good place to practice blindsiding at. Alternatively (for any of your viewers who might go there and not want to blindside back), you can also nose into the dock area, then sightside back into that same lane that you nosed into, then pull back out facing the street, then you'll have a straight or offset backing into the dock. When I looked at the satellite view of this place before getting to the part of the video where you arrived there, the 3-point turn-around was exactly what I had in mind as soon as I figured out where the dock was and when I saw that lane there. I'm pretty sure that lane was put there specifically for that purpose too

"YOU'RE NOT 15'6 DAVE YOU'RE 13'6!!!" 😂😂

That's trucking Dave that's trucking It happens to me all the time

Top three amish populations by state: 1. Pennsylvania has 56 amish settlements; 514 church districts; 76,620 Amish. A large part of the population is in Lancaster and Indiana Counties. 2. Ohio has 62 settlements; 574 church districts; 75,830 Amish Ohio has both the most individual communities and church districts and a nearly identical tally of Amish residents as Pennsylvania. Holmes and Geauga Counties have the largest population. 3. Indiana had 24 settlements; 392 churches; 54,825 Amish. This state’s largest populations are in Lagrange & Elkhart Counties

I love how you did the beginning of Colt 45

I love when Dave forgets that he left his blinker on when he is backing into the spot at the loves truck stop lol.

The last mega carrier I worked for Roehl based out of Wisconsin most of the time I was communicating with my dispatcher. If I'm close to delivery I'm asking if I have a preplan on deck so I'm not waiting. Always kept me moving but occasionally I had to wait but it wasn't often. Driving to a truck stop that far away after a delivery isn't good either because it might be in the total opposite direction of your upcoming preplan. Fuel is a huge cost out there.

Dave ; I was in a Amish store during a hunting trip in Northwest WI. It stunk so bad. To the point I was afraid anything I purchased would be tainted

Good job on the blindside but since there was very little traffic, you could have just passed the driveway and backed in off the industrial road to avoid it. Otherwise you could have pulled straight in toward the dock and back into the side road that you turned in on then pulled out toward the street to straighten up like you did at the end. Both methods would have avoided a blind side back..

Man I live in Gulfport, originally from Lucedale. There's an old settlement in the backwoods down here, but they aren't Amish. It's a Mennonite colony.

Hi Dave

@riding with Dave. You inspired me to get my CDL and now I’m working for a trucking company who helped pay for my schooling

Wooooohh!!! goodmorning ladies 🤣

I live in Indiana and when you pickup in a lot northern Indiana cities you see a lot of farms and a lot of amish stores as well. I done a video on American truck sim with your truck and trailer out of respect for you and for the service you provide. I was forced out of the truck do health reasons so I live vicariously through the Sim.

Guess CFI sold to heartland

I finally got it 1st yes I been watch since biker Dave never till now 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Yo

crazy how im 13 and watching u

I deliver dollar general and I blind side all the time, what I do is I keep the bunk window uncovered on that side, you look out the window going sight side so why not blind side, just something to think about keep the shiny side up and stay safe driver

Been watching you for about 5 months now. CFI is sending me to school in Joplin on August 29th. Thanks Dave for exposing me to something I might actually enjoy doing.

Deodorant is too worldly 🤣

Speaking of Amish, you'll sometimes see FLDS people in Utah. I think some FLDS people are in NY too, so it wouldn't surprise me if you can mix up Amish women with FLDS women in certain areas. They dress very similar in both groups

Them ants seen it they was impressed they said look at this man he thinks he can back a trailer smooth

I just bought they same truck in american truck simulator

I found out if you park in the way.... someone will tell you are in the wrong place. They will find you. You don't have to go looking for someone to ask.

I love your super trucker voice always makes me laugh because it sounds like them in real life. I've been driving for 10+ years and I still get called a steering wheel holder because I'd rather work smarter and not harder.

Looks like you could’ve pulled straight in backed up to the left and turned around to do a straight back to avoid blindside. Hope you followed that lol.

It looked like there was all the room in the world to back in off the street

Loved the video haha but you could have sight sided from the street made everything a whole lot easier

Dave "He was feeling his way down the street with a Stick" 😜😜🙃

Hey Dave so I live in Pennsylvania and Amish people are usually located in Lancaster, PA. You definitely caught my attention when you were talking about the Amish and as a Christian they are very interesting and cool. If I could live a day as a Amish person I would.

It’s a circle for drivers that mess up like you did. Lol!! Safe travels

Alittle trick, use your sleeper window so you can see where your trailer is. I do this shit multiple times a day for dg. Hugely important tip

Have fun working for Heartland😅🤣😂

Dave The quicker picker uper ..... Oh wait thats bounty

"What's my truck..about 15-6" lolol umm NO, try like 13-6 goodness!

"Oooo" Clair

I know that exit 45! My grandma lives about 5 miles down B there.

Yup always when your busy never when your not, god job driver 👍🏻. Btw I applied to CFI today, doing an email and am switching companies soon likely be running dedicated Midwest.

I'm gonna go with 15 foot 6 inches. 👍 you got plenty of room lol

Dang man I just heard heartland brought cfi smh

Whoow….good morning ladies! Afro man 😂

nice video dave, havent tuned in to the channel much lately but thats truckin

There's actually Amish people in Oklahoma also,in certain parts.

You didn’t have to blindsided that back

Lancaster, PA is where a ton of Amish are. I live in Philly so not super super far and I've been seeing them Amish my whole life. They make a great pie though

I’m pretty sure it’s Lancaster Pa if I’m not mistaken, I drive Pa a ton and you have to be on your toes especially at night up there. Those are the “old order” Mennonite, it’s pretty wild the way they are dedicated to life.

I think I probably would've ended up trying to pull straight up facing the dock as far as I could and then back driverside into that little alleyway thing then pull out towards the road - I always hated having to blindside lol

Definitely thought the thumbnail was the turn cam on the hood mirror. 😂😂 That might be a good idea for next video! Love from Florida!!

good morning ladies🤣🤣

A blind man passes a fish market . . .

Dave its time to get a local driving job. You have your experience.

WWSD: I would’ve just backed in from the street…

Eau is pronounced as a long “O”, so it would sound like “O Clare”... same as mens cologne “eau de toilette”.

11:55 the armpit fertilizer had me rolling man, And there are many amish around here in Kentucky, I Understand what you mean when you say they are deo free, they are 100% natural for sure.

Right back in the same direction you started from 🤣🤣🤣... No worries the Amish groups ain't watching🤔 .. wait our trucks our 15.6😱🤯

Why didn't you back in sight side in from the street. Now you're going to wait for the live load and then put the empty that is dropped there into the dock.

Whenever someone walks by with some really bad body odor i always hate it. Thanks for the video Dave!

You blind sided but didn't have to. If you pass that extra drive that you pulled into you can sight side into it then pull back out and straight back in

80% of the population in Lancaster Pa is Amish. Them people usually stick to themselves. They also always look pissed off too.

It's crazy that the first time I saw Amish people it was in Ohio too at a TA and not one of them made eye contact with me even the people that were older

Nope. Personal hygiene is more important than rushing last minute to pickup loads with no pickup windows. Gotta take care of yourself while on the road. My first dispatcher years ago would obviously track where I'm at and getting me loads which is nice but would always wanna schedule me JIT loads and it got to the point where I couldn't stop to take care of myself. I didn't mind switching loads to get things covered but there comes a time where I need a stop where I can stretch my legs and shower.

Kwik Trip in the area has nice showers for your next time in the area and a good food selection.

You should get a semi truck toy

Colt 45 😂

Good videos dude like your stuff. You didn’t really need to do a blindside tho? Could have done a nice easy reverse off the main road and straight back? Keep up the good work

you could have just pull all the way and back into the slot on the left side and pull back out to set up for a straight back...lol

Looks like scary movie in 24:37 listen to sound when back door opening

11 minutes in I paused the video and jumped in the shower 🚿 🤪 😅 🤣

I've got a dare for you : In the middle of a video, pause for a second, let everything go quiet, the loudly say : " Hey Garmin, Main street " lol ... Sorry my bad, be funny as hell though ! ... lol
