For more information about Dorsey Trailer click here www.dorseytrail... I got to install my new ToolBox today. I also talk about what Flatbed Equipment I have and use
Hey Dan, you could almost put Tarps on top of your tool boxes? Or would ya get to much road grime on em? Love the new trailer. Beautiful set up!! Be safe out there !!
@Brantley Grey i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Looks so much better when tarps are not on catwalk or steps or equipment strap down on top of trailer Its good to have storage boxes to keep stuff out of sight and locked up much cleaner look
Hey, just a bit of info for someone putting on a box like that. Be careful the first time coming across a railroad crossing. It's possible for the box to drag across the high point of the road, where the tracks cross. The box will go over the tracks BEFORE the trailer axle will begin to lift the trailer. The best way to this is the bottom of box is above or the same as the bottom of trailer frame. I really can't tell from the video if it high enough. Just saying, cause we have seen those trailers with mangled boxes or bracket- no box. Safe trip drivers
A suggestion for your tarps . You can do one more fold before rolling it and it would make both tarps fit better. I used to have one toolbox on my trailer and i was able to fit 2 8ft drop tarps , 60 bungee cords , 16 4 inch straps and 20 1ft edge protectors.
The preternatural genius of Super Trucker Dan. It is actually art, God love you. Stay safe. Blessings to all your followers, too. Here up in Seattle, worst air in the thirty years I have mostly lived here. Last two or three summers were far worse, but this particular episode is quite intense, and epic in its concentration (intensity not duration). Most walking outside now, are wearing masks. Trust me on this. It is not covid, real as it is, but intense haze. Really bad. Now wearing mask in car, not just goen into store.
Nice to see some body that takes the time to organize their boxes on their trailer. I know guys that have 4 boxes that size and when you open the door half the stuff falls on the ground or they have to empty half the box to find something. The one thing you should look at getting is a rack for your dunnage to get it out of the landing gear braces, and yes a 4th tool box would balance it out nice, gets all your gear stored away nice. Keep up the good work.
Wow Dan your carry 1 Ton of necessities so you’re always ready ! Incredible video love the new box, great installation job, what a fantastic trailer setup, no Mickey Mouse anything !
Looks like you could slide and store that big tarp on top of the new box. You could easily add a couple of plates to the hangers to give the tarp some protection and a place to secure the tarp
A trick from a machinist of 35 years, squirt a bit of WD-40 on the drill bit and aluminum when drilling and it will NEVER stick to the tool. Also works on a belt sander/disk sander and sawing. WD-40 is just the wonder lube..... Thanks for the great videos!! Keep them coming!!
Your DeWalt cordless drill with the bit you purchased will remove a boot from your tire. Drill out the lock pop open the cover and use a large screwdriver to release it.
Lookin' good, ever thought of getting a dunnage tray like they have on a step deck. They really come in handy like for wood and tarps, any who , y'all be safe out there, ya hear!
Can never have to many tools as a truck driver,was looking at how your chassis rails run on your truck ,and I wonder why heaps of people don’t have tool box’s that roll along on the bottom side of the C Channell ,I think it would help if you needed to shift weight but couldn’t shift the load at all ,once it was loaded with what ever ,I know here in Australia sometimes would be handy ,especially if you had all your chains in a tool box like I do ,not on a headache rack.tool box full of chains is a 300 lbs +.maybe ask Dorsey if they wanted to set up a prototype.i have never seen one done but would be keen to see it in action if some one has one.may be a bit harder to set up for I drop deck like I have though.
Now you need a timber box to go across under your main beams totidy up those landing legs like we use here in Australia. A hinged door either side and big enough to fit a dozen or so bearers 👌👌. Very simple to make and the safest way to carry them.
my storage space was mainly for my liquids, steering fluid, windshield fluid, radiator, and the fluid additive for winter. also grease, as i used a paint brush to keep the 5th wheel slick. oh and my 5th wheel lock, one heavy sucker, kept my fueling gloves in there too. on other side were my rags. use to keep my gloves below my seat, but after awhile the fuel fumes tend to get to you. i use to have a fuel tank cover, that i made, that prevented fuel from splashing on the fuel tank, when fueling.
Dan just a suggestion, There is space between the bottom of your flatbed and the top of those boxes for your extra tarps. you could easily fit them in between that space. The stock aluminum supports would keep them moving forward or backwards ,and all you would need is a couple of bungie cords hooked to between two supports closest to the doors to keep the tarps from falling off the sides.
There is always never enough storage. I see another Dorsey Aluminum Box under your Christmas Tree this year. You have a great sponsor there Dan. Safe Travels and Happy Trails.
Dan what you should do is label that so would know what is in each box then put it on top of the boxs just to make it easier and having three boxes makes it that much easier
Morning super trucker Dan. Love the fixing things on your channel as that's what makes it so interesting 👍🏻 Great sponsor in Dorsey trailers 😄 Keep safe God bless cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧
Hi from a neighbor Dan. I've got acreage about half way from Benson to Bisbee. I haven't been there lately, but sure like seeing your place, as it is much the same as ours. Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing the brackets for the toolbox. I will install one on my aluminum trailer and needed an idea. Good thing you consider your winches. I have seen many flatbeds with toolboxes mounted so high that you can’t slide the winches anymore.
The only comment I have is you mounted that box and not once did I see you check for level or square. I'm glad your doors have some play in them and close tightly. 1 more box, a small one and you'll never loose a tarp. Peace.
I am sure someone else has suggested that you put a mud flap between the tire and the box or it will get torn up by gravel and rocks are thrown up by the tire
your older tarps you can put on top of your boxes and strap them down so if they were stolen there old tarps anyways that's what we did not as clean but if you don't have 4 boxes every bit of room counts lol!
You could probably put that other tarp on top of the new tool box. Just put a shield between the top of the box up to the C channel on the front to keep dirt away.
Dan I think you should do some brainstorming and make a Special Aluminum bracket for your plastic corner protectors in the same area as your boxes to give you more room in your new box for your other 8 ft tarp there’s got to be a better way Dan I’m always building things with steel or wood just a thought Drive safe
seems like your pretty well set up for what you haul probably run into some oddball things every once in a while but thats to be expected good job on the box bet youll get another for the drivers side! lol
Now some orange and green colored flatbed/construction safety t-shirts (long and short sleeve) from Dorsey ..on the back "SuperTruckerDan sponsored by Dorsey Trailer" with the youtube symbol 👍
Hi Dan, luv your channel, its Digby here from Perth western Australia, i,ve retired after 45 years on the road,,clocked up over 8 million kms. Just watched episode of the toolbox mounting, and have a suggestion, if you reroll your other 8ft tarp so it's the same length as the toolbox l reckon it would fit on top of the toolbox on the drivers side.
Francisco Sandiego No, maybe 100 once in a while, usually in the 85-95° with 80-100% humidity here in Florida’s panhandle. You in El Centro? Wife is from Brawley.
I really like how you go into detail when you do things in the video.. You should add box #4 on the other side now.. very nice trailer... Question would a tarp not fit on top of the box? Between the trailer and the box..
Saw your daughter's short clip about Purple Rain. GO RAVENS! I'm originally from Baltimore, and was blessed to listen to their game vs. Cleveland on the Sirius XM radio in the vehicle while coming back to my home in Ocala FL from my church job (pastor) in Kissimmee FL. Great game, 38-6 big win. NICE VIDEO today from Louisville KY (where the Raven's starting quarterback went to school at the University of Louisville. God bless you and Teresa, and your daughter, too! Pastor Dean, Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL

@Brantley Grey It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
You are just working smarter so you are prepared for winter weather and what you need is available to you rather than going under the trailer.
Dan one can hear the excitement in your voice over working with Dorsey. Congratulations! Good to see you getting ahead.

I’ll work on that

So glad about your Dorsey sponsorship! It's nice when good things happen to good people.
Outfitting the New Dorsey Trailer for your Needs has to be Fun with this Good looking Trailer. 👍
Good job installing boxes make your job better ez to find what you need stay safe please
Good job Dan on that side box you installed. Your brother in the Military and TMC. Shannon I gave my own Authority now live in Charlotte NC now
I would add a mud flap between the box and the tires to keep rocks and moisture from wet roads off the box
You need one more box on the driver side, get all your tarps inside before winter!

Well, if you get tired of driving, you could work for Dorsey and install metal boxes
Looks like you could slide and store that big tarp on top of the new box. You could easily add a couple of plates to the hangers to give the tarp some protection and a place to secure the tarp
I’ve thought about that
Thanks for watching
And probably do the same with the other step ladder on a different tool box and get it off the deck.
You need to add a box on the driver's side. Job well done.
Thanks for watching
@Ryan Armstrong You don't no anything about me so keep your comments to yourself. It was only a suggestion.
how about a rubber mud flap under the coil racks so they don't chew the aluminum box up
A trick from a machinist of 35 years, squirt a bit of WD-40 on the drill bit and aluminum when drilling and it will NEVER stick to the tool. Also works on a belt sander/disk sander and sawing. WD-40 is just the wonder lube..... Thanks for the great videos!! Keep them coming!!
Your DeWalt cordless drill with the bit you purchased will remove a boot from your tire. Drill out the lock pop open the cover and use a large screwdriver to release it.
Nice tip on the coil racks to keep the handles clear, never thought about that I'll be doing that today... Thanks

If you put alot in there. Get some angle iron an bolt to your brace an put 2 acrossed the bottom for support.
Now you need a timber box to go across under your main beams totidy up those landing legs like we use here in Australia. A hinged door either side and big enough to fit a dozen or so bearers 👌👌. Very simple to make and the safest way to carry them.
Adding air lines to the back of truck underneath is safer to access the cat walk to and from the trailer.

Truck looks great,Handy Man Dan,
Always nice seeing you Dan... Nice work installing the extra box, just like the factory one... Take care & safe trucking.
Thanks for watching

I'd cut some rubber mud flaps and lay them at the bottom of the box and lay the coil racks on them. . The steel coil racks will chafe the aluminum.
😂 If you don't have it you don't need it.
I haven't done flats since 91. they thought I over done it. your a super trucker for real😎
I give you 6 months and you'll have the 4th box on the trailer, nice T-shirt. Thanks for the video.
Morning super trucker Dan. Love the fixing things on your channel as that's what makes it so interesting 👍🏻 Great sponsor in Dorsey trailers 😄 Keep safe God bless cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧
Hey Dan, I am thinking of installing a couple of those tool boxes on my van trailer, just to clear up room from the truck storage.
Great content!

Just watched the video on the Dorsey drop deck rear axle slide. that is a nice piece of equipment . Luv your videos Dan. Keep on keeping on✌✌
You do pretty good work for a skateboarder.
lol
Thanks for watching
I am sure someone else has suggested that you put a mud flap between the tire and the box or it will get torn up by gravel and rocks are thrown up by the tire
I'm sure one day we'll see a second box on the driver side, nice job thanks for the video👍
Great job Dan. Looks like you need another box on the drivers side. Even everything up and give extra storage.
your older tarps you can put on top of your boxes and strap them down so if they were stolen there old tarps anyways that's what we did not as clean but if you don't have 4 boxes every bit of room counts lol!
A man of many talents, thanks for the great teachings once again Dan! =)
Another matching box on the driver side would let you put that tarp away. Symmetry. Great video.
Thanks for sharing part of your day and the job you enjoy.
You could probably put that other tarp on top of the new tool box. Just put a shield between the top of the box up to the C channel on the front to keep dirt away.
trailer looking good.
it's good that you can do your own work.
Dan I think you should do some brainstorming and make a Special Aluminum bracket for your plastic corner protectors in the same area as your boxes to give you more room in your new box for your other 8 ft tarp there’s got to be a better way Dan I’m always building things with steel or wood just a thought Drive safe
nice work Dan. glad things are doing well for you
You did a great job Dan it looks like a factory install.
you can get a app for your phone, turn it into a level. Looks good Dan.
I’ll check it out
Thanks for watching
My iPhone has one built in. It's in the Utilities app, which is the one that has the calculator.
Lt. Dan thinking ahead,good job!!
When I was a Maverick, to get the two 8 ft tarps in the same box, you have to fold them one more time.
An old rubber pick up truck bedliner cut up would line the bottom of those boxes!
Very organized and neat. Great looking rig....
Good job.....nice set up.......👍👍
On working days an owner/operator work with his truck, on holidays he work on his rig !
After your family, is that GENERATOR in your will?? 😉🤣
I raised 2 daughters, and they demanded less attention than your generator.....
That's Funny
Thanks for watching
I have that same impact and love it hasnt given me any issues
You need a mud flap to protect the new side box.
Check E-bay for DeWalt reconditioned. Great prices and work well. Nice work stay safe out there.
All you need now are chicken lights on that shiny trailer. I know it's not your style but they sure would look pretty.
Nicely done safe travels Dan 👍
I would put mud flaps in front of those wheels to protect those boxes! And a piece of matting or carpet on the floors of the boxes .👍
, hallo Dan. You have don a good job , room for tarpes and all the other stuf you have always need off , and it look nice , gretings Gods Blessing
Thanks Dan. Nice job. Stay safe.
Very informative. Thanks so much!!

Love the setup Dan! Keep up the great work and be safe out there, also I second the night shot of the trailer 🐓 💡
I would still put some rubber behind those boxes cuz they still might rub a little bit
Fit a Dorsey mud flap between the tyre and the box to stop all the shit flying up off the road and marking
/wearing the back of the box 👍
Put some quarter inch rubber mating on the floor of the boxes and drain holes mate
I really like how you go into detail when you do things in the video.. You should add box #4 on the other side now.. very nice trailer... Question would a tarp not fit on top of the box? Between the trailer and the box..

One more box for the tarps
Very professional keep up the good work and stay safe 🌵🇬🇧
Interesting mounting situation, level with ground or parallel with the trailer frame. Take care.
straps the tarp on top of the box
You can never have to many tools Dan 👍😂
Talk to your sponsor about a 4th box to mount on the drivers side and balance it all out. Looking good!
Thanks for watching
The biggest problem will be 'when you have a blow out' the tire could possibly rip the box right out as that had happened to me once
👍😎👍 looks really good
Thanks for watching
Let's go Dewalt, next sponsorship
Need some quarter guards top job as usual breathing a little heavy need to work on that
Be careful Dan. Stuff = 110% of space. :-)
Please consider some quarter or half fenders!
You might want to put another mud flap behind that new box to protect it.
