Trucker Dave and Red
Приєднався 16 кві 2012
A channel dedicated to doing it yourself and saving money doing it. Due to the fact that I'm an over-the-road truck driver there's going to be a little of that mixed in also. Hopefully I can provide a healthy balance and we can have some fun along the way

😁👍🐗🥀🍌🍒🍒🥧 haul for + pluses, not for - minuses! totally understandable! had to stand on my head though!
Just got to Columbus GA with a relay from Dalton, 33 year company driver. Have fun at home, maybe make some sauce 😁
Tk dave
Have you ever watched the why files on u tube? I think you would like it.
Sapp Brothers truckstop is the best. Clean restroom, showers, and the food is good in the restaurant ( if they have one)
WHAT!! Ta didnt but out rhe 76 truck stops, 76 could keep yp with the change in the trucking industry, and filed for Chapter 11, and closed, and razed all the buildings, you may find one or two around still but that's it. TA in Willcox AZ has a restaurant that serves good food. We as truckers need to SPEAK THE F*** UP. If the bathroom is dirty, quite bitching on someone's channel and ket the front desk know, the person cleaning is trying to keep the trashcan empty out in the parking lot. I cant believe the change in the guys who drive today. If you want to do is bitch about something the truckstop has done or not done, call customer service and I can tell you right now, they will take care of it. Quite being a bunch of pussies and say something. TTT Tucson Arizona, worse truckstop
Could only pop in for a few last night buddy, good seeing you.
It was nice to see you were still around.
Get the VW! Hard to find now, especially that old. I have a ‘67 squareback.
It's definitely a bucket list car. I love classic Volkswagens
sup Boi !! Trucker Dave lay'n it on thick! yea! drone pilot! sounds toasty down Mississippi way! award! good luck!
Working on my pete
I'm here
I live here
Hood?? Oh, you mean bonnet.
Dave! bruh? lay the yellow flex seal 2 it!! I heard glue! there ''we' go! woowee! some real money! dang! gona half 2 give some blood to!! I imagined this was just a 1/2 gal of industrial rubber cement!! yup! good vid Dave! nailing it down!
Im glad to see the truck in it OG attire. Im glad you did this summary on the overall repair. I also figure you were having a series of "wardrobe malfunctions" lol. I can imagine the seat was another 2000-2500 at a uneducates guess. Niw about those chrome strait 8" stacks... Thank you for all that you do keeping everyone supplied. Also thank you for your service... I know it never stated genuinely enough. Please always be as safe as possible in all of your travels and adventures.🙏💜
So true I hauled cars for 35 yrs never had a accident, just glad I'm retired now safe travels
Dave why didn’t you put a sweet chrome bumper on it,just busting your balls.😂I figured someone would ask you about that.
I actually seriously considered that because it was actually cheaper than fixing the one that was on here but I'd already spent that much money on the inner structure so I just decided to have it fixed. Hindsight, I should have done that
@@truckerdaveandred6731 yeah my buddy had the same thing happened to him and he went to four states in Joplin and just bought him a Chrome when Lincoln chrome one and he said it was about the same for what they wanted to paint the whole bumper and redo part of it so he thought you know I’m not gonna go through this again with this road rash
If it gets damaged again, I'm going with a chrome one @@Cinchy2017
Glad to see that you have your hood back on. Hope you don't have another incident for awhile. But, it could always be worse. I made a comment earlier on your first video about this, back in the early 90's i was at the TA in Dexter Mi. and saw a rookie driver backing in next to a brand new Pete 379, the owner was walking back to his truck saw what was happening and started screaming at the driver to stop, well he didn't and took out the entire driver side of the Pete. The owner said that he just put the truck on the road that week, guess It doesn't pay to put a new truck on the road anymore unless it's a day cab and you don't have to park in truck stops.
It's just one of those weird things that's going to happen. I wish I had gotten the guy that did this but chances are he probably didn't have insurance. I used to stay at Dexter quite a bit when I was running out of Wolverine packing in detroit. I deliver there and then run up to River Rouge and pick up USG and head back to Iowa with it.
Sad to say how many bad drivers are out there these days
I think it's a lot of these young rookies getting talent and skill mixed up. I also think there's a general attitude problem of people who just don't care anymore. A lot of these guys will screw up and then blame you for being in their way despite the fact you had nothing to do with it. I've dealt with that a couple of times
Great video brother! Stay safe and God bless!
Two weeks and I’ll be in orientation. 4 weeks otr with Co trainer. I’ve driven class C for years with P endorsement. The pivot is still very unfamiliar, I’m thinking a pallet Jack would be a good devise to help rookies back up. Just a hint. I like your belief there is no shortage of drivers problem. It’s a retention problem. I believe you are right. Trust can be a problem now. Risking makes them nervous. I think it’s because the younger ones are in a society with no shame, no honor. Or at least these aspects of humanity are minimized instead of emphasized. Why listen to experience, if you don’t trust? Good talk!
The split is my best friend! I use it quite often
Me too
That dude is a nut lmao 😅
I think you need power for the coin mechanism to work properly
That’s the difference between good and experienced. A good driver doesn’t waste money on crap. You can’t teach a guy to drive a Pete or Kenworth because they know it all already. Just wish they could keep it their lane.
Are those 4 or 5 ft antennas on your truck? Did you have to run ground straps from the antenna mounting plate on the mirror to where the mirror arm bolts to the truck?
That's a complete factory setup. It's awful. I usually run a single coax and a 4 foot antenna but the Kenworth makes it very difficult to run anything other than factory. Traditionally on my old trucks that had West Coast mirrors, I would run the antenna how to passenger side and reroute the driver's side antenna to be used as the radio for the AM FM. I had the best luck with 4 foot antennas
@@truckerdaveandred6731 Thanks for the reply. I’m driving a company truck and I’m debating using the mirror mounts, or using the little bars on the cab above the doors, but I don’t like having the coax getting pinched running out through the door seals. I watched a video that got good results with the factory mirror mounts as long as you add the ground straps.
On a company truck, I would do it the least intrusive way possible that way when you can take it out they don't try to get you for damaging things. I don't like running the coax through the door seal either but on a company truck you might not have a choice. If you have to do that, make sure you take it down below the dash and loop it back up that way if water drips in it doesn't go down your dash it follows the loop to the floor. I learned that the hard way @MichaelShipley-u7t
@@truckerdaveandred6731 I’ve been with the company 20 years, they don’t have a problem with it. No damage anyway, just a little more work to put them on the mirrors. I’m local p&d and having them up high on the sides of the cab is more susceptible to damage from trees. Thanks again for the replies.
incoherence vs coherence! it's how U keep this between the lines! oh! & not on my side of the road! yup! it's great to see all the scenery! nice place! trucking industry cpr! yup! makes U wonder what the future may hold! back-up N try it again. 4 real.. Talent, skill. Experience! damn U'r a knowledgeable gear grinding iron pusher! just tell'em 2 giddy-up! I did. making better futures for folks, just placing booger lights every where. put them boots on, & give it a good kick! U've got to wrap all that up into a ''book''! kids still need honest guidance & words love. + experience & skill. not mater the complexity! glad to hear all this discussion... I wander what kind of gap will be left, SDT/SDS. self driving trucks want be here for another 20yrs. 4 sure something to ponder Dave. 😁🤩😎👍💪🎼🕺💃🤸🤹🦍🔧🍐🍌🍔🍟🥧🍦🍺⏰⚾🏈👟
☝️💯👍 yup, and Amen!
Did you park behind the Waffle House in Cartersville
I wanted to but I didn't have time. Delivered and had the Boogie back up to Tennessee to get a load and then make it back through Chattanooga before rush hour. It was a crazy day that ended with me parking right next to the spot I spent the night in
Better tighten up🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
nothing taught or learned from this at all to much talk and not enough action !
Remove the three screws in the outer cover and lift up the outer door panel.. Remove the plastic sheeting over the hole in the door and disconnect the electrical connector going to the motor. Remove the three screws that hold the motor to the regulator. Assembly with the new motor is opposite of disassembly. That's really quite all there is to it. If you have your replacement motor up ready, it is quite literally an 8 minute job if you take 3 minutes for a cigarette and a Coke
The giy that owns the wrecker service behind pilot was supposed to build the Petro. Bjt it neen on hold for awhile. I live about 30 minutes from there.
Good video brings back some old memories. My wife's cousin worked at the ole truck plaza for years. The Chinese place used to be Pops. It could be the people that have homes there close to the Petro land got it stopped not wanting all those trucks close to their homes. And you can't blame them for that if it is with all the trashy truckers out there today. Not saying all are but there is a lot of scumbags on the road today. It's a hell of a lot different than when I was on the road for over 50+ years.
It's way different for sure.
Jerry Reid sang about monteagle in the smokey and the bandit theme song. I remember that truck stop. It had a really good greasy spoon
“I run alongside it and drug my feet”
I have not thought of WilcoHess in a long time.
I was so disappointed when it became a pilot
It’s sad that the minority of drivers has given all drivers a bad reputation
That Wilco was a nice place, I hope the Petro will win against the NIMBYS.
PILOT/FLYINGJ Was bought by Waren Buffet.
looks like a heavy traffic location for Monteagle?.. nice to see theres plenty of room from the maps view! organization/zoning is probably key. meaning: locations being well organized. govermnent's aint tought this anymore! ha..ha.. yup! that's a real nice breakdown! truck stops are usually less than <2miles off the hyway. crazy huh! yup! commerce comes first! right! it would be hell on earth to attempt to live that close to a main hyway! OMGosh! this just boils my blood! ha..ha.. yup! **waffle hut rules the roost**! go Vik's go Bill's..
I did not run through there often, but the only reason I ever stopped up there was for Larry's. I could get the flat-front plain military khakis in my size for like 6 bucks a pair. I forget what year that surplus store closed.
When I was a driver for Yellow I would stop here to get a Hess Christmas toy truck. I was sad when I got there one day and it turned into a pilot.
Those pics of the inside brought back memories I remember the wood grain and eating in the restaurant when I had my 1st truck I'd stop there back in 86 the local craft items in the truck store etc gave the place it's charm
It's so weird to think about the fact that you should take pictures and save them of everything you see. I've been wishing that I had taken pictures of my home town years ago but why would you take them?
I get that. I have trouble remembering now what my home town looked like when I was a kid. I wish we had photos of our family cars. But in those days we didn't carry around a camera with film in it at all times.
Hey Dave, I drive out of Dalton Ga
This video shows the importance of trip planning when under the gun. If you started in 2001, you were doing it like I was. Pouring over my laminated carrier's atlas, calculating miles while looking at city grid maps to find my way into the place, writing down the directions and clipping it to my FLD's dash. Under the old rules. With today's technology there is no excuse for poor trip planning. (You mentioned US 36. I used it a LOT and never had a bad trip across it. I actually live just off US 36 in eastern Ohio.)
US 36 is a pretty good highway. I used to run across it in Ohio quite a bit myself. I love Eastern ohio. I know back when I started driving you didn't have a choice but to figure it out. Half of these guys I run into can't even make it from their front door to the end of their driveway without gps.
@@truckerdaveandred6731 But sometimes you have those runs where you need to keep that left door closed, even if you plan it well.
@@truckerdaveandred6731 (I live about 2 miles off US 36 and SR 93 in Ohio. The PUCO, OSP and County Mounties do a LOT of roadside inspections between there and Coshocton, about 10 miles. They work that hard.)
@@David_Richard_241 that's a fact
Oh yeah. Don't forget the Chicago underpass map. Never left home without it.
Thanks for Every Mile🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are the the reason i got my first truck after being slave to the shady companies for years Its tought but i am making it work Never give up. Thanks for your honest opinions about our industry Keep up the good work
howdy!👍👍💪💪
