As a fellow CFI driver your videos has saved me a lot of time at several locations. Matter fact I am heading from Indianapolis to this particular FedEx location right now.. So glad I seen this video.

I drove OTR for 23 years. Here is some things to consider next time. First you figured out you had to take a 10 hour break. You knew there was overnight parking where you were picking up. This is what I would have done. I would have gone there got the load and stayed at the shipper for my 10. Might have been easier to get all info when more people are around. Just something to think about for next time. Be safe out there.

Not only the camera, the window's glass makes it seem like it's not that bad, it was a whole new world outside when you rolled the window down.

Hey Dave next time this happens it might help to read the google maps reviews to the shipper/receiver a lot of times drivers wil tell you where you need to check in at and it will save you a lot of walking.

Just something so relaxing about a big diesel purring through the snow

I will never forget the time on I-68 near sliding hill MD, snowing at the time which was nearing midnight. As I start climbing one of the larger inclines on the route and see a bright orange light at the peek of the hill. As I approach it comes into view that there's a semi on the side of the road, cabin on fire with hood popped off and no one around to been seen. Dont have a clue what happened but I regret to this day for not stopping...

WOW!! Thank you Billie Joe and Dave (and all OTR truckers) for your dedication and service. You are appreciated!!! 🤗

Hey Dave! I have watched everyone of your trucking videos and all of the trucking videos with you and Billy Joe. Watching your videos and a few others have gotten me the bug to drive! I’ve had my class A’s for about 2 months and am loving the trucking! Thank you for your inspiration.

I'm on my way to trucking school at CFI, my this is so humbling...to watch. I'll be by myself, I can appreciate that two is WAY BETTER THAN ONE. I FEEL SO Nervous NOW. YOU TWO ARE A AWESOME TEAM.

Nice to see working folks. I retired after 44 yrs of driving. Four years all weather 48 states to start with, Then regional West coast Seattle - Salt Lake. Then Washington / Oregon last twelve years. Like the old song says There ain't no easy run....

Dave, I fell in love with your videos before I started CDL school. Your humor and positive attitude is infectious. I'm in my Motel about to study before my exam. This is the 1st time watching you in months. I had never seen your face, now see your now a team! Wow make that money buddy. 💰

Hey dave, words from a northern new yorker, i live way north past Syracuse, just wanted to let you know that this is everyday almost during winter is like this, be very very careful, especially on i-81 if your up here during December January and February, fort drum soldiers crash 24-7 beacuse they get too cocky when its blizzard conditions. Best of luck to you and yours. Ps: if you somehow end up near where i live near Watertown NY, theres a dinner and truck stop called longways, best Little dinner in the area!

It's like having the Magic 8 Ball as a dispatcher. 🎱😬 What are we supposed to do? "Ask again later" "Better not tell you now" "My sources say no" 😂😂

Driving in the snow can be scary but driving with an empty trailer in snow has to be terrifying at times. Thanks for the video Dave stay safe!

Ugh. Playing detective at unfamiliar shippers and receivers is one of the worst things about trucking. I think the only thing that I find more stressful and annoying is trying to find overnight parking. Good job working it all out, Dave and Billie Jo! That's trucking!

( retired OTR driver) back in my day ( before cells & GPS) you called the shipper to verify their location as well as trailer location 🤔 This situation was fubar for sure😂 I once got an load going to "Kansas City Missouri ..hunted for this place 1/2 the day..called them several times turned out it was Kansas City Kansas .dispatch screwed up on the bill of lading.( imagine that😂😂) Welcome to the real world of trucking 😂😂😂

Billy Jo is just a happy person. God bless her.

Hi Dave ,fellow trucker here, love seeing your videos. When I see CFI trucks I wonder if that is Dave lol stay safe and happy thanksgiving.

This reminds me of driving out of Bangor Maine during an ice storm. Had a 7am live unload at a tractor supply. 7ft snow banks and the landscape looked like a warzone. Love the different scenery and perspective that comes with this life

I envy how well you carry yourself in these situations. I get so angry and worked up when I have to screw around at stops like that

Really enjoyed this video which shows real-life trucking with all the good and the bad. You both have a lot of patience under duress.

That is definitely trucking for those who are considering getting into trucking. Have to go out at 7am from your home, dispatch sends you out at 7am knowing that you are going to leave home, drive 80 miles, and have to take a 10 hour break…And then after you’ve spent all day away from home (with no pay), then you get there, and nobody is around. So leave home, and spend a day and a half away from home (for free), and then finally get going. Trucking is the big time waster. Sad but true.

Beautiful scenery shots!! Thank you kids for your work and stay safe!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃 TO YOU BOTH and all other drivers.

This is why I went to a dedicated account. When I first started trucking 7 years ago I had a lot of this type of bullshit. Don't miss that at all.

I am so glad y’all stayed safe in the snow and that is crazy about the load but that is trucking and load information but glad that you got it figured out

I teach backing. Couple things that will help. 1. stop whipping the steering wheel left and right ..left and right. small, gentle inputs. LIke landing a 747. 2. Turn the wheel the most when you are STOPPED. Once you let off the brake and begin moving bakwrds you loose ground. Does that make sense? You eat up way too much ground/distance before the trailer can react. So TURN THE WHEEL while you are stopped. Do it for each trun when backing. Otherwise looks good.

Dave: I hated this last winter Me: Thats Trucking Dave, Thats Trucking!

Loved the video, Dave and Billie Jo. Safe journey:)

Yeaaaaahhh buddy!!! Safe travels to y’all both, and always be safe! Happy thanksgiving and thank you for what you do!! AND THANK YOU TO EVERY DRIVER OUT THERE WORKING THIS HOLIDAYS, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND PLEASE STAY SAFE!! 🙏🏼 ❤️

Thankful for all you truckers out there! Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe! God bless!

From a UK Trucker. I Just love your shows. Keep up the good work.

As a FedEx driver the same shit happens to us too. I'm always complaining to dispatch about the lack of proper signage

Oh the stories I could tell of the dispatch screwups over my 16 year long haul driving career and most of it as a solo. If I could give one piece of advice to every driver out there, it would be, take care of your back/spine and find a good chiropractor and go regularly. I am disabled because trucking messed my back up bad and when I started driving in 1997, I didn’t know any better. Now I’m homeless because nobody can live on Social Security Disability. I will always be a trucker in my heart. Be safe out there.

Hey bro good to see you're doing good I wish I could've met you when I was cfi but im werner now your videos inspired me to go for it and I love it 7 months in I wish u the best buddy b safe out here drivers

That poor woman....patience of a saint AND deaf as a post !!

Can’t wait to see this one my man! Stay safe out there 💪

Y'all have the patience of saint hood. I am glad you found the place after all that. Have a safe run. STAY WELL FRANKIE L.I.

I like watching you guys's videos Ben and Cummins engines plant many times living Erie PA just retired after 57 years of truck driving

A lot of times you can't rely on dispatch for sh*t! You have to figure out things on your own, and you're absolutely right about being a detective, you gotta figure things out and resolve issues on your own without any help from dispatch. Been there,done that plenty of times.

I've done the Indianapolis to Buffalo run. Friendly tip for anyone coming here, turn left at the post office. Thanks for the upload.

Thanks for posting all that. Its good to see the frustrations truckers go through, too. I'm considering getting into the business.

happy thanksgiving dave, and everyone!

That's truckin Dave thats truckin with good ol Billy Joe. 👌 Hope everything is awesome for you guys. Keep them videos coming bro.

Yess!!! it's that time of the year 😁🎄❄🌨

I miss Buffalo, NY. I used to live in Elmwood village now I am 6600 miles away back home Saudia Arabia. Happy holidays Dave & Belly joe

Love yalls vids, stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving

Glad your back buddy missed watching your videos

happy holidays! keep on trucking! God bless you and Billy Joe's! Stay Safe!

@Dave and Billie Jo just stopping by to see the beautiful snowy weather, Ya'll stay safe and warm out there too Brotha!!! Damn it Dave now you make me wanna go hop in the CFI truck and play ATS NOW!!! Thanks 😊

I like your vids bro. I’m actually about to start school next week. Hopefully I see y’all on the road. Be safe and never forget that Pre-trip. 😂

When you were at Cummins picking up the empty you were five minutes from my house. Sucks for the mess in Buffalo. Stay safe out there

Finally in a truck with Melton. Glad to see you are still trucking.

Snow!!! I'm kinda excited to drive in snow again 🙂🤣

Newbie here, just subscribed! I am binge watching in the comforts of my home. Drive safe guys, love your videos.

Awesome video thank you for sharing Dave

Ahh the crazy world of truck driving. It ll drive you nuts dealing with people and pickups .

Happy Holidays Dave and Billie Jo. Welcome back to the big rig Dave. Had an idea for a video for you. When you left trucking for camping, you were a solo driver. Then you came back to trucking and CFI with a girlfriend/co-driver. I think the question on most of our minds are how did you get to this point? As a vlogger, you basically put your trucking life out there for all of us to see. Maybe you can do a video on: (1) how you came to the decision to come back to OTR trucking; (2) how you and Billie Jo met; (3) are you driving anymore, or are you just along for the ride since you seem to be in the passenger seat all the time. Anyway, glad to see you back in the Big rig. Be safe out there.

It’s always cool seeing places I know so well lol.

I was excited to see you were in my hometown of Buffalo, im a local driver in the Buffalo area, i knew you were from Mississippi which is were i use to live and my brother still does so im guessing Billy Joe is from the NY area. I will say that from all the trucking videos out there i love your style the best. Keep up the great work.

Love the videos, and the commentary. You're probably my second favorite KZfaq trucker, the first being Trucking With Schmidt. Any of you other guys watch Trucking With Schmidt? He also drives a Kenworth (but it's a W900) and does commentary like Dave.

Two pairs of eyes, very bright flashlight with a strong beam make finding your destination easier.

Awesome David, I enjoy watching your videos! Oh yeah hi there BillyJoe!

Hi dave i love your videos and be safe out there 💙

Back in the early 90's i drove from minnesota to new jersy and never seen the ground or pavement the whole trip. It was a bad winter that year.i was driving for Knudsen trucking out of hager city wisconsin.

Hello Dave . Be safe out there on the road. God bless you all out there. Amen. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

Love your videos bro 👍🏼📹

I love weather like this. 👍

Hey Dave & Billie Jo Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe out there.

Saw your jeep today at CFI! Damn that thing makes a statement! Should be out with my trainer by the end of the week!

Ok I'm following you all. I would love to learn to drive but I have bad Migraines that put me out of the day and back problems, I seriously have wanted to drive a truck for along time. I really enjoy watching you guys. You guys are awesome.

I love trucking in New York winters. It aint easy, but somones gotta do it.

I love yalll vids sooooo much

Enjoy your videos Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 be safe.

Welcome to Western NY! Typical lake effect for this area. I live 2 hours away and we had nothing. But I had to bobtail last year from Niagara Falls to Hamburg and it sucked!!

damn lovely place got to lovethe ones that make u walk around and arong everywhere, safe travels stay safe on the wide open roads

Another Awesome video

this is why i stopped pulling a box trailer. i drove for over 22 years and pulled 2 boxes. first one was ok. the 2nd one i had to drop and hook in Joplin Mo at 7 am and go to Austin tx. by 10 am the next day. NO TROUBLE right. well the load wasn't there so i was told to wait and at 1 am it showed up. and they still wanted me to be in Austin by 10 am. 550 miles. after being up all day and night waiting on it i drove like hell and made it. then they told me i had to help unload. i told them nope i have been awake 28 hours they can unload it . i had to unhook and wait. but about the time i laid down they would come make me move it to another door. i would no more than get parked then they would come make me move to another door. the 3rd time i saw that it was one large open bay they was just fucking with me. when i hooked on to it i pulled out closed the doors and my next stop was at our Houston yard. and i went back to pulling tankers

Thanks, Billie Joe, and Dave,,yes got frustrating. Sometimes, Dude's ya'll handled ya'lls frustration very well. Thanks alot,,,oh ya Happy Thanksgiving,,,,

Farmers almanac of 2021 says this winter will be horrible. I wish you both much luck :)

Experience is the best teacher

You guys were right where I live lol would’ve been nice to meet both of you!

in my last snow storm in Calif. my dispatcher said "oh you won't run into snow, clear all the way." yeah right, by the time i got to Reno, Nv. on a Friday, Donner's Pass was closed. by the time i got to my delivery point, Stockton, Ca., it was Mon. night, i was late, so had to deliver the following day. a trip tha usually takes 2 days ended up taking 4.

Aye your who dat family!!! Makes me like your channel that much more.

Always good to a sat recon of your customer area...

I’ve stopped at Jim’s truck stop, when I worked at my first trucking job that I was regional at

Hi, love the vids!!

Winter driving is exciting

I live in Westfield, Ny......about a half hour from Lakewood, NY......all the snow is gone now. Been to that Cummins engine plant a few times when I drove for Werner

Nice driving partner does really good in snow

No sweat. Just tell Dispatch, because of the horse shxt, the load will be gotdam late to Indianapolis

That weather was loooooots of fun, I live just south of there, 332 can be a nice mess

I've been gone a couple of years, and nothing has changed. Same stuff, different day

Wanted to drive CFI because of you and kenworth trucks. However, werner wagon met my needs after research.

aye dave was in my neck of woods! glad you liked the snow!
