Dave you look silly walking down the side of the High way, at 3AM, talking to yourself. Everyone thinks your crazy. 🤣

I keep my triangles on the passenger side. Too many drunks, kids on cell phones, and super truckers half asleep for me to stand that close to a travel lane. Glad it worked out for you tho man.

I’m definitely limping to the exit ramp. That extra space can be a lifesaver.

Yep it’s 10 from truck, 100 from truck then 100 from triangle. Also, one dude is correct, furthest one out goes to inside of shoulder. Middle one goes middle of shoulder and closest one to truck goes on or near rumble strip. That’s to help guide people to move around you.

The Distancing on the Triangles look good, but you put all 3 down on the Rumble Strips. You're actually supposed to stagger them out to where they lead traffic away from the truck. (The farthest triangle from the truck should be closer to the end of the shoulder, the next triangle center with the truck, and the closest triangle near the rumble strip or the driver side of the truck behind the trailer).

Dude, One trucker to another, I work for ALDOT. Please, do not go searching for your tire parts on a dark strech of interstate like you did here. TNDOT has crews that come out and clear rubber from the interstate during the day with all kinds of strobes. I would rather see someones vehicle get damaged then see you get hit by a 70 to 80 mph bullet, besides thats what people pay for road hazard coverage for. Much respect, I love your content. Be safe out there brother.

I can't understand how this dude is never really angry at almost anything

Dave casually walking a fricken mile for others safety

Man Dave, be careful!!!! You are more kind than most truckers!

You should try and keep all your "emergency type" of equipment you'll feel you'll need, on the other side of the truck. To limit the time you'll spend on the traffic side.

I appreciate you takin the time to pick all the chunks up thank you be safe ✌️

YOU GOT IT Dave, I've blown a steer tire on a dump truck loaded with 20 tons of stone. Just remember, "REMAIN CALM", I had oncoming traffic on the left side, and a drop off into the lake on the other side - NO PLACE to go, and a 3 ft wide shoulder. Just let off the throttle, pump the brakes occasionally, and hang on the steering wheel. You will be fine, and will come to a SAFE stop eventually. Sure lots of smoke and noise from the tire hitting that front fender, lots of brake smoke, all ended well. Fenders are replaceable, people are not.

Glad you were ok, Dave. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe.

You are lucky Dave. From Feb of this year to date, I’ve had 5 trailer tires blowout on me.

Laying here in the hospital after open heart surgery your video saved my night! I hope you keep them coming😊

My job right now is literally to be the guy to come save the day and replace the tires on the side of the road lol. Absolutely love your vids and you are one of my favorite youtubers and one of my inspirations to keep pushing towards my goal of being a driver :)

Dave you should invest in a hi-visibility vest so that during the night when something like this happens you won't get hit by cars in case they have some sort of emergency

Man id be terrified to sleep on the side of a highway knowing how bad people are at driving. Thanks for the video Dave!

Wow this had everything drama Dave using his confidence He was so calm cool and collected Using his high note. Soo good Love you a lot angel Dave

Being on the side of a highway in the late hours can be sketchy. Stay safe out there Dave! Good placement on triangles, you had a flashlight, and hopefully a reflective vest. I drove a rollback wrecker for years. Some calls were saving people off the highways, it felt good when I got them loaded and to safety, but damn my heart was beating fast and adrenaline off the charts. I've had to jump on my truck a few times. I chewed my bosses butt after one night, he was taking his sweet time getting the hydros on the passenger side fixed. People drive like 💩

Regardless of mishaps, you make trucking look really fun! Keep up the great work!

Losing a tire is scary. Stay safe, and keep doing you, Dave.

Hey Dave just a tip from someone that works on the side of interstates. Never put your back to traffic walk around the passenger side of the truck and if you need to be on the driver side walk facing traffic so you can see what's happening

Sorry for the blown tire and thanks for sharing the experience.

My dad could tell you a decade's worth story of trailer tires being blown. Happens a lot more than you think. You were lucky this was the first time for you haha.

I can vouch for the Traffic in Nashville as you were literally right down the road from my house!!! I was thinking about a week ago, I wonder if I have ever driven by Dave since I live in his region at Online. Turns out, you came right past my house!

That was one SLICK move getting back on the highway!!!!!!!❤

The struggles of a truck driver.

5:45 "that would damage a truck or a car's vehicle." lol

The gator jumped up into the bushes!🐊🐊🐊

Most drivers won't get out to clear the debris. So, hats off to you my friend for doing that

I've watched prolly a thousand vlogs from various truckers, but yers are just about the most interesting! The go-pro angle is great. I like yer upbeat chatter, too. My son just earned his CDL and is deciding on a few options, so I watch these and think of him. Keep up the great reports! (p.s. If you never said "BOYZZ" again, I would not be sad 😀)

Smart moving as close as you could to the exit bc people taking the exit have to slow down to take it so that's even more safe good Job!

Love your videos Dave. I’m in trucking because of you 🙏

At least you set the triangles out. Most people don't even do that. It's nice to see someone very considerate and try to clean up their mess. Hope you had that reflective vest on Dave. Vehicles whizzing by may not see you without it. 😉 Stay safe and safe travels, Dave.

A little advice dave! If there is no damage to the mud flap or nothing jamed up to keep you from moving you can ease down the road st about 50 mph or so with your 4 ways on and try to get to a truck stop or possibly your delivery spot in dtead of sitting there for hours on the side pf the road Done that many times in my 43 year career and made it to my delivery then called it in.

Honestly I don't know anything about where the caution triangles are supposed to be but what you said sounds about right.. it must suck blowing a tire but it's good that it happened at like 2-3am rather than like 5-6-7am where it could of been worse from the debris from the tire. The only thing that matters is that you're ok Dave! But anyway, another entertaining video as always

Hit a piece of a tire on that same stripe of interstate in my personal truck. Ripped off the rear right air deflector, and bent my fender. Thank you for attempting to clean it up. I’m sure most people wouldn’t.

I always travel to the nearest truckstop or exit ramp so the mechanic is not put at risk the only time I never drove anywhere on a blowout was when my steer blew.

I use to live off this exit Dave. This part of the Interstate is vicious lol coming in from the Kentucky area, people speed right on through. Glad you’re safe brother !

So many trucks passing by gave me a weird sensation. Everyone going somewhere, life was rushing that night.

I had my first blowout April this year. There was a rest area close enough that I could roll in there to give the tire guy a safer place to work. Then the next day my reefer blew up spewing fluid all over the back of my truck during the DOT blitz week.

I work for a car manufacture and for some of our driver training we have to do blowout test with a pickup truck. It has a big air tank in the bed and a system that can release air from the tire to simulate a blowout, and also air it back up in motion. We're always told that if a front tire blows out, to hit the accelerator.

I’ve had a steer blowout in Bakersfield, CA going 55mph. I just gently let off the throttle and coasted it to the shoulder but I was wrestling with the wheel. It was a stressful experience with all that traffic.

Blew a drive tonight and thought of this video 🤣 Figured I'd watch again so I don't feel so alone. Happened in the middle of nowhere in Cali around 6:30 pm. Repair guy can't get to me till tomorrow morning. Loudest thing I ever heard! I blew a trailer tire before it wasn't that loud.

Hey Dave. That sucks that the tire blew. Glad it was a trailer-tire tho. Hey, ive got a question for all you truckers out there...What percentage of trucks on the road are automatics (as opposed to "standard-"/manual-transmission)?

I was about 1/8th of a mile behind a truck that had a blowout. Scared the crap out of me it was so loud. I wasn't sure what had happened until I saw the debris it left in the road.

Thank you for walking and checking for bits in the road, those things make people swerve and crash themselves lol

Most of the time when I see triangles behind a truck, they're all only like 20 feet apart

Big ups Dave ❤your content vuyo from south Africa 🇿🇦

I've seen a far worse place to break down. Just after the merge on a short ramp. We had a bit of a scary moment when the driver stepped from in front of his truck just after my son had floored the car to avoid getting hit by traffic. The driver was able to jump out of the way.

I applaud you for picking up the debris!

Your check engine light is on Dave

I appreciate you going back looking for big chunks of tire. About 20 years ago I was driving across South Dakota in a 1998 Subaru Outback station wagon about 2AM and there was an entire big circle of a retread laying right in the middle of my lane. It was so dark out that I didn't see it until it was too late and I completely straddled it. I pulled off the side expecting the whole bottom of the car to be messed up but all it ended up doing is wipe the dirt off my oil pan. That car was pretty high up and also built like a tank.

Dave did you pick up your triangles? 😂 I thought when the tire changer called he was going to tell you he had your triangles.. 😂

Sheesh, gotta love it, the Trucking Gods have a sense of humor. Glad you’re okay though. That’s good Online takes care of their equipment. Tyson Foods does so too, and has a considerably larger fleet (our trailer numbers are in the 72,000s now! Oldest units still going are in the 63s/62s). And it is a small world. I made a delivery to a place in Vermont and the receiving clerk recognized my area code. Grew up in the same county in central Florida.

Am I crazy and hearing things or did Dave say "Yeah.......blow me" at 3:56 like caught me off guard almost spit food everywhere it was so funny 🤣🤣

If you're ever going through Indiana from Louisville via I-65 North when you hit Sellersburg second exit look to your look to your right you'll see Century Industries if it's Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m - 5:00 throw me a Wave.. I used to be a driver then I went back into welding in fabricating(I'm a single dad So driving isn't the best job) at Kentucky Trailers building semi trailers. From the tandem's(we call them Bogie's) crash plates sub-base Landing gear slide rails ect ect and now I'm back at Century Industries.. I saw online trucking Trailer but with a Green Semi.. keep up the work and STAY SAFE..

I know you ride bike dave, think of a bike coming down the road flying by and hits one of them smaller pieces.. Good to see you pick some of them up out the road.

Stay safe out there Dave and keep on trucking!!

I’ll never forget the time I was passing a semi and one of his steers exploded while I was passing him. It sounded like a dang bomb went off it was so loud.

Whenever i had a blew tire. I always go to the exit ramp then get on the on ramp. Its still on shoulder but its not directly on the major highway. Just a thought. Love the videos dave!

The far left lane at the 65/24 jct is the best in that situation you can still get to 65/40 just loop around the front of downtown Nashville and not the backside. Safe trucking

Thanks Dave! Even a video of you waiting for a repair is rad.

Hey dave. Love your videos. I used to do business with weems brothers seafood out of biloxi.

Thanks for the steertire info! Exactly the procedure for gettin' outta shape. NO brakes/pull out with throttle; unless you're already at the LIMIT. And NEVER do that, for obvious reasons; besides, then you're a 'sleeper,' lol. 😅

Had no idea you were from Mississippi lol. Been watching your videos enjoying them. I’m from the Jackson area.

I live around Lawrenceburg. I’ve been all over the country in a truck and always find my way back to TN. 😂

90% of drivers would just keep going. Good job !!

I was with my trainer on the school bus today, She pulled right out in front of a semi scared the shit outta me! He flashed her with his lights. 55 miles an hour that road was.

That’s Trucking 😎

Get the yard stick 😂😂😂

Good video Dave 👍👍👍👍👍

A seasoned driver limps it on its way. Perhaps out of Nashville. Tires already effed up. What happened to the Volunteer State?

I miss approaching the Nashville skyline.

I miss you!!!

In my first week out solo a tire on my trailer blew. Then a couple weeks later when I was doing a pretrip I found another trailer tire (a different trailer) with a third of the tread just missing.

Dave if traffic gets bad. Take the Briley parkway. YOULL THANK ME LATER.

i hope you got your triangles before you left the scene

The amount of feet of the orange caution triangles is 50 to 75 feet from the truck to till the traffic to move to the left Lane

Had a recap blow on me today! Sounded like a gun went off busted the plastic mid flap on the freightliner cascadia. It made my butt pucker

I can’t be the only one that watches these when I’m going to sleep right?

Get yourself the Guardian Angels. They work so much better then the triangles. Hop in on the passenger side.

Should get ya a couple small weighted bags to put on the feet of those triangles

What coincidence I had a steer tyre blowout aswell on the side of the highway at 3am yesterday

Tennessee law, all vehicles must mover over for ANY vehicle on the shoulder.

Better get that check engine light fixed lol,good video Bro!

Triangles must be spaced 3000 ft apart !! 😂

Had a blowout on a set of pups one day, sat for 4 hrs. Got going again and had another blowout and sat for 3 more hours. So I feel your pain driver!

Dave, did you forget to pickup your reflectors when you moved forward and/or after he changed the tire?

Drinking my soda and at that same moment you said blow me , You are the funnest guy around .

I would guess it get a bit bumpy for a bit :) I do follow Ron Pratt and he drives a tow truck and people have little respect and blow past him with very little margins doing 50+ We had a gravel truck blow a steer tire on the highway here in Sweden and he did go from the right lane into the left and hit the center barrier and flipped, i passed a few hours later and the truck was standing there and the cab was a mess, newspaper said no injuries but i doubt that is correct, but hope for the best.

Doubt you’ll see this but you should do another q & a video if you have the time. update on your life it’s been 2 years since you did it and obviously stuff has changed (just watched that video 😂)

When I messaged you showing you my wreck I thought man I hope he don't have to go through this shit like I have been but I guess your luck was running on empty too lol. I broke my fucking ankle today tarping a load so I think I'm winning on bad luck so far

I had a tire blow out on my buick century yes I know its not a cmv or trailer tire but when the tire blew out torn up the inside cowl plastic covering I was on the side of the road and I believe an off duty sherriff was driving buy and he was amazed I maintained control not flipped it but he was nice of enough to help clean the area up mostly puting the cowel from the inside of my wheel well.. but I was able to but the spare on and got everything fixed this happened a couple years ago.

Wow going to Moorseburg that is close to me at Bean Station. Hopefully no more flat tires.

If I say thank you Dave.. I think you will understand.. it’s is dangerous out there 🙏

We blew a trailer tire near Darlington, WI, on my first day of training and caught a drive tire issue during inspection.

I think what you call cap, we call retreads in australia

I only had one blow on me while doing OTR with CFI... now that I'm local... I don't know what it is... but I've blown three tires...all are mostly because cruddy retreads suck... then our shop does unsafe practices where they'll take the nail/object out and call it good 'nough... which clearly is unsafe and now I'm pushing back at my yard for them to replace tires (if I find someone in the tire during pre/post trip, I tell them, replace the tire, not fix the tire; replace it) My first ever blowout while at CFI - I didn't hear anything - just saw smoke, sparks.. ever tire since - those I've heard - sucks double when you suck in the mudflap and mudflap hanger..
