AND CDL A PERMIT-(TANKER,AIRBRAKES,COMBO, WAITING FOR HAZMAT, AND DOUBLES) BUT I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, YOU MAY NEVER MEET ME, BUT THANK YOU. I HAVE TO GO TO A SCHOOL STILL LOOKING TO SEE WHERE I WANT TO GO, BUT I AM ON MY WAY... THANKS SELBY
ty shelby i a truck driver in montreal and i still learn a lot from you .and i have 30 years experience .my teacher always said never stop learning
We keep learning everyday Dan
Hi there 👋 just waving a hand
Hope you're starting 2022 with a bang!
🥰💥
Haven't seen any videos lately so it means you're very busy with your trucks. Hope you are well.
Good luck and Stay safe! 😘
Shelby, it's been 3 months......
We all need more content from you here!!!!! Not just on Instagram, we also need your vlogs here.
You are awesome and so very helpful . I’m also an otr trucker and watching your videos helps me train myself in new situations that I wouldn’t think about. Thank you!!!!
Hi thanks for the helpline info. I will be sure to utilize it when needed. Keep your positive thinking attitude and keep putting great content out there.
Love your channel Shelby!!!!
I always enjoy your videos!! Thanks for posting.
Shelby it would awesome you do video on how purchase tractor to go on own fed ex .
Nice video
Better hope Blue Beacon doesn't see this video. They have a strict "no cameras" policy.
Hey I love to see Women do work in a mostly male dominated field... You all are unsung Heroes for real! I plan to offer Therapy Services to people on the Road via telephone; shoot... Truckers Need Therapy Too!
Just leaving a comment
You are awesome :)
I may have missed a video or two but didn't your trucks used to have the name Fed Ex on them and now its Bright Mountain? Did something change?
Bright Mountain is my company that contracts with FedEx Ground
Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Most of the truck drivers that come to my store hide away in their sleepers while we unload and load, but there was one driver who decided to jog around the perimeter of the shopping center until we were done. I thought that was pretty amazing.
Missed you !! That is so true you always have to plan for the future, and look at ways you can save your money! Their are many ways to save for your retirement and be smart with your money!!
Great vid, Shelby. I love the way it explains that being a trucker isn't just about 'driving'. Truckers today need to know way more than that.
Hey BS
Good to see you, Shelby! And Dakota❤️
I have so much respect for truckers and farmers!!! They have taken a hit lately. I pray you all stay strong! Great show as usual.
Thank you. It’s been an interesting year for sure.
@@ShelbyHBTM I love you girlfriend we get married live with you at your house and you and me will your truck and we sleep together at the truck and we are going to take our truck driver track us in front seat fix a Christmas present Santa Claus
@@ShelbyHBTM I think she finally gave up on youtube! Yay! Because a trucker, she is NOT! Go back to Instagrams with your tights and butt and dog. Its' just not like that out here. Someone shows up in tights or flip flops or sweats. INSTAFAIL in trucking. Also you pay your teams shit wages. Also you have a really hard time complete ting a sentence without being distracted by. EVERYTHING. Im sure a new video will drop soon where you try to start selling Etsy Trucker mitts for dogs and try to talk fast to cover up your lack of anything useful to say. Yes, im angry. Tooo many years doing this just to see wanna be truckers without any true useful knowledge being passed on.
@@Van-..-z._-_z.-._-._.-z. what you've been doing this for so many years and what do you have to show for it, just anger and hatred? I've been trucking for a while now and I'll tell you this, you'll get your a$$ kicked at a truck stop if you were caught talking to her or any woman like this. Grow up and become a better person I don't want you in my industry. It's a free market as well. Or are you one of those socialist, triggered snowflakes who hate to see someone create something for themselves?
One winter item I would recommend is slip on traction aides that go over your shoes/boots it will save your knees and prevent slipping.
Where would you find something like that? My ex slipped on ice last winter while unloading and had to take off for a month or so. His knee hurt so bad and he didn't even fall, he just kinda jerked to steady his self. Tore something that was hard to find on xray and mri.
@@tmo.48 any outdoor store should have them.
You are my biggest inspiration, you may or may not see this comment but back in 2019 I started to watch your videos. Because of you peeking my interest in truck driving; I am now in truck driving school! I’m going to continue to watch your videos and learn from you. Thank you for making these videos!
Hey how much you paid for the school? I live in Germany but my Dream is to emigrate to Canada and work as a truck Driver. Sorry for my Bad english😅
I'm not a truckie, but I always loved big rigs. I'm sure your tips and suggestions are much appreciated by the driver community. It's obvious you know what you are talking about. Rookie, inexperienced drivers can learn a lot from your videos. And your enthusiasm is remarkable. You love your job and you are pretty good in it. Keep up the great job. I'm a huge fan of your channel and I always enjoy your videos. You're the best Shelby!
Простите, ребята, напишу по-русски. Надеюсь вы сможете это перевести с помощью Google. Уже не первый год смотрю этот канал. Я сам далек от перевозок. У меня даже нет лицензии на вождение. Я не вожу автомобили вообще. Никогда не было интереса. Но я вижу увлеченного человека, двигающегося вперед и вперед. Это очень здорово! Keep on going! Жду следующее видео!!!
Google translate connects people around the world ❤️
Where are you young lady ? ? ? ? ?
Love what you’re doing Shelby. You’re a real inspiration
Binge-worthy content… I never tire of watching this channel. And I don’t even drive truck. Wish I did! Thank you Shelby!!
Here's a thought for docoka ,Super Dog .(She can drive,,,,,Shelby made a fun video of her ,)(This is why Paccar made trucks automatic...so all gorgeous 4 paws can thrive all females and male dogs yes no discrimination here on Happiness by the memories......Happiness by a gorgeous German Shepherd women. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyes.......ok...sorry Shelby Happiness by the mile .........)...Shelby you thick Automatic Rotation truck Chains will be used.?????...(2).........We saw a neat trick for trucks when installing tire chains perhaps lay out chains......(b)....in middle of lay out chain temporary set a piece of 2x4 wood set loosely around chain square (Set chains out just ahead of drive ale and trailers tire ,)( so need 4 pieces of 2x4x6 " long..)drive up on wood pice finish tighten chains fasten chain drive off wood 2x4 x 6 " long save for next reuse .....Be fun hopefully for Shelby to install tire chains when she rides WSF FERRIES IN SNN JUANS ISLAND ANACORTES TO FRIDAY HARBOR....SHELBY AND DECOKA CAN CALL THIS "The FRIDAY HARBOR INSTALLING TIRE CHAINS METHODS' IT JUST SEEMS TO US ALL THAT SHELBY TRIP ON A WSF FERRIES SHE REALLY ENJOYED.....SHE WAS SMILING 😃 SO MUCH.......
If you own the Truck you can take very good care of it, but most companies don't fix anything unfortunately. Good to see you Shelby looking rested and healthy.
That’s excatly it, companies seem to cheap out on maintence and then new trucks break down
omg... where ya go ?? Cmon back back plzzz
Good vid Shelbygirl... luv see Dakota too and yur bigfloppyears bunnny..so cool
Truck looks so clean shiny..goodluck..careful this winter.
I drove truck for 2 years. It’s been some time since I’ve been out there. Im looking at getting back out there. Partially because I miss it.
IF you need more information on trucking and how to begin with your dispatching truck .

Hi, Lady Shelby! Long-time no see and
I’m also staying in your channel of social media
because your talking is very comfortable for me
by the way, my church members of brother and sister have a married couple they are Native-American but live in Tokyo, Japan they gotta be
pregnant recently anyway wife is English teacher and husband has a pastor grade but weather announcer of the TV of English they are fine
but I wanna say your cool than them for me
and your talk is comfortable for me that it
Your very American is it! That's I respect you and guys! I’m living right here, and my pleasure!

Carrying things. Since it's winter, know that leggings are warm, but have you considered wearing military BDU pants that have the cargo style pockets? Maybe wear them over the leggings? You can carry a TON of stuff in them, great for phones, etc. They're made to fight in so bending, stretching and climbing isn't a problem, as well they're design to be easy to clean, just wash. Ripstop is the lightweight summer type that breathes. The heavier weight is winter gear. They even have ECW (Extreme Cold Weather) over pants that have removable insulated lining for wading in the snow. They squash down to normal pant size for storage but your legs won't get cold unless you're in Alaska. LOL. Those BDU are similar to FedEx cargo pants but built tough and long wear so get your money's worth. Comfortable as heck too.
I will definitely look into it 🙂 unfortunately for me I have to have a lot of my clothing altered to fit me
@@ShelbyHBTM BDU will fit. They even got them down to XS size and you can do side kicks, yoga or be a ballerina in those things. No need for belt (has loops if like one) cause has side adjust tabs and cinch strings at bottom of legs in case you run into army ants. Even the military don't like ants in the 👖 pants, make you dance. If you wear boots, tuck them in. Double stitched at seams, extra reinforced in seat & knees for sliding, kneeling, etc. LOL. They last about 5-10yr with normal wear. Come in black, tan, green, all kinds of camo patterns. Urban camo with the grey black & white is cool. Any military surplus store would have. The issue toboggan or watch cap is lot better than some the normal ones as it breathes, no hot or cold head. Duffle bags last for YEARS. Heavy duty. EWACS gear like thermals and jackets designed to survive it all. Be handy for Dakota's, Montana and cold areas. Don't wear out with constant washing for long time. Seriously though the gear holds up better than most all civilian stuff, except maybe Columbia. 511 Tactile has some cool ladies wear stuff too but doesn't last as long.
So there seems to be a certain sadness in your last video, you are trying hard not to show it but I can see it, making a WILL, and all that, are you o.k.? or do I just don't know what I am talking about I see you are handling the camera alone, but I don't think that's it, anyway I hope I am wrong and I hope things work out when you say " I have a lot of things to do" your hart seems to be heavy IDK, KEEP GOING, Dave
I strongly recommend drivers start watching 1st Amendment audits.
Drivers have Constitutional rights like
5th Amendment to remain silent?
4th Amendment Not exposing your ID unless you committed a crime?
1st Amendment to record all government agents.
You never need to assist government agents investigate yourself for extortion fines and fees.
Time to stand up and use these laws in citizens favour.
What happened to the Videos? Did she quit?
🤭🥰 so true ! Keep your truck looking good it’s not pride in your Ride well alil if it’s your own equipment but it’s respect & your office 😏
Missed you so much! Im working on my truckdrivers licance now and living the dream! And I really love your videos!
Aww thank you so much ❤️
@@ShelbyHBTM I can’t wait to Get on the road like you. Really wanna start making videos about truckdriving and info around it in Norway♥️
@@somij1785 please do trucking videos in Norway . That'll be awesome
Oil is Oil. Period. What make every oil different is the ADDITIVES they put in it to make it their own. Some hold patents on specific oil. If you ever look at the bottom of a white 5 gallon pail of oil, you will see sediment collected. That is the secret additives that fell out of the oil by setting to long on the shelf. This you want in your motor. So when you used half of your pail, shake the shit out of the pail to mix that up, then pour it into your motor. Once a year all oil is gone through rigorous inspection, Shell did not pass on the first or second time. Mobil make a very good comparison oil.
Trucker final mile will help when yiu die to get you home , st Christopher fund helps drivers when they can’t drive . Put disability insurance in yiur plans and retirement planing
This was awesome, I appreciate your explanation about self-improvement: I’m still trying to get where I want to be in life, although I may stumble at times.
I have other hobbies besides driving: I would love to one day start a gaming channel for UA-cam, I enjoy working out, walking through parks when it’s warm, reading novels, as well as drawing animated characters.
I also love how you’ve added the bit pieces from your previous videos on here, I almost thought that this may be your last one.
I’ve contemplated on being an owner operator, and I would be the first member in my family to do so (something that the other truckers in my family haven’t done).
You need to have your own product. Shellby Rotella.
Nice video..keep on trucking keep up the good psychology..drive slowly its winter time take it easy..
What happened to all the trucker videos? Did UA-cam demonetize all of them?
Be interested on your thoughts about the CONVOY?
That's why I find that manual trucks are so much better better to rely on mechanics then electronics just another thing to fail
Just signed up here in Sweden to get my Truck license and the CDL i guess it is, need another addition to drive with a big trailer but it is a start.
She’s Back! Yay!!!!! I am starting to think you love your winter driving! We Miss you Shelby I know you got your hands full with all your doing but you put out good content for new drivers even divers with years on the road talking about everything even how to stay mentally strong, even how to eat health! I hope you are well and know you have been dealing with the loss of close family member and things are getting better for ya! Stay safe see ya down the road….
I appreciate the understanding of my situations. It has been difficult but I have a wonderful support group around me through family and friends. I couldn't do it without them.
So I hear a air leak on my trucks up the conpresser keeps up but company won't fix. I get transmission air etc advive?
Sometimes you have to fight to prove the air leak. Do an air brake test and film the guage and show the drop in pressure is significant. The compressor may sit too close to the drivers side under the cab (depending on your truck) and it's a hard place to find an air leak. I once had my entire air hose blow off the compressor and that was a fun time lol. :)
Glad to see another video, Shelby, and I think you touch on some super important points!! I'm just about to take my CDL test and my dad has been a long hauler for many years ... the part about meal planning is something I think about a lot, for one thing! I'm just getting my own channel started, where I plan to document my experience as a new trucker and emphasize how I will maintain my physical and mental health, despite the many obstacles that face truckers. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me -- you have absolutely been a positive influence in me deciding to go for the CDL after many years of just thinking about it!! And PS -- I felt like that note on winter preparation was just for me because WHO starts a trucking career in the winter?! THIS chick lol ;-)
Lol starting in the winter will be a challenge but you'll be a sponge and soak up every bit of info you can. Not everyone has the right answer, but you can learn something from everyone ;)
@@ShelbyHBTM Thank you, Shelby!!
If one actually understands and embraces the multigenerational approach to sustainable business and family, planning for the day you are no longer here is one of the greatest gifts you can give those that follow. The number of businesses (and unfortunately families) that collapse following the unexpected demise of the one person is truly tragic and most often totally unnecessary. One must assume the worst, hope for the best and equip those that follow with the knowledge and tools to deal with whatever.
hej Mile god video keep trucking from Denmark
Just got my cdl yesterday I’m very exited to start driving
May I ask who you are going with? I'm new also...and a bit confused
@@tmo.48 I went with crst the hq is in my local town
Where's Shelby ?
So funny story I was a pizza delivery driver until I saw one of you videos. Here's the story I use to work for prime but my trailer lights died and u told the company they said relays don't break.. so I went to a dealership and charged the company extra for not replacing a 40 dollar part lol
You are amazing and I respect how you drive this big truck like it’s nothing. Also I admire that you are very beautiful and not afraid to show your femininity, and that inspires me even more
Maintenance is important for all vehicles. You want a safe ride and not an accident.
It's nice to see a young lady driving truck. Have fun and success always.
Not sure what state you are from but I know of a great job you will be home every day. 8-12 hour days five days a week or more days if you would like the OT. Its an hourly pay job and you can make close to what you make now and be home every day! It truly is a great job and very easy. Much easier that what you are doing now and much less stress. We have taken many drivers out of the over the road scene.
I dont need it but I appreciate at. Someone else might though :)
Where are you
A lot of broke down semis look like trash. I respect the truckers/companies who do ALL that’s needed to stay on top of the repairs and upkeep! Thanks for doing your job, appreciate you putting out the info.
Love your videos and content, Shelby! I'm not a trucker, but I appreciate those who are, and what you are doing to improve the industry, one video at a time.
The world needs more positive, helpful people like you! Keep up the great work.
Great to see you!
This is so true, funny how many people do their jobs and have their unforeseeable affairs in order. So far as a floridian there aren't that many choices on great companies companies with good jobs. Is a strange thing how the road calls, is what we love and we pay a high price for it,, I know I could do something else but is not the same, many don't prepare for our final departure, we always think we are returning in one piece.
Time passes by quickly and we deteriorate as trucks do and we're at a daily higher risk than someone behind a desk, so your content is right on the spot, most don't think about it, you are a very smart young lady giving great advice to the old and experienced drivers who never prepared themselves.
GREAT CONTENT!!
😊
Great to see ya back hear on the channel!! Yes, estate planning is very important as I have recently had to manage my Dads estate and It wasn't completed at the time of his death. I would also insert here that anyone who still have there loved ones with them, tell them you love them and visit them as much as you can!! You can never show it enough. OK......... As a former heavy equipment hauler (that still carries my class A) I really enjoy your videos and mindset. You appear to be very skilled in your profession and very knowledgeable! Maybe as I near early retirement, I could come over and drive for you? (Trying to figure out my own future huh?) Take care out there and be safe my friend.
Shell Rotella ....it's all I use in my trucks AND Equipment. Have used it for 20 plus years. Great product. Never had an issue. And I always say.....Take care of your Truck and it will take care of you. And yes.... little problems become big problems if you don't take care of them ....that goes for Life as well 😆
I was so excited to log in and see you had a new video up. They really help brighten the day up.
Hi Shelby, haven’t seen you in a while.
I realize your wearing many hats in your company, so down time are far in between.
I am close to retirement (38 years), my health, family, financial and well being in general are key.
Good advise to plan for the future, because it does come fast.
Stay safe and all the best.
Just got my Cdl in November, started with a company, training is okay could be better, rt 80 west was icy couple days ago. Ended up jackknifing the truck.
(No other vehicle was involved)
What should I do now as I sit here on suspension?
I am sorry to hear about that. Are you able at some point to come off of suspension, and then get back to work with the same company? It is an awful thing to be doing your best and then have ice mess up things. We're you alone in truck when it jackknifed? You are very blessed to be ok.
@@tmo.48 still in training when it happened and I’m still waiting for the response.
A SHELBY video is never late, they are ALWAYS WORTH WAITING FOR.
Thank you. That’s so kind of you to say
@@ShelbyHBTM I have 39 years in the trucking industry and You are one of the Most positive influences in this business. You are a very BRIGHT SPOT in what can sometimes be a dark business. Keep up the great work, YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING.
Shelby, I knew why your truck didn't start before I seen the paperwork. The right stark switch error. I've had the same code come up on a company 19, 21 and now my 22 Freightliner. It's going to come up again. To get your truck started, if you have a battery cut off switch turn that off for five minutes or disconnect your negative posts on your batteries for five minutes eliminating power to your truck and it will start. No need for a tow. Have a wonderful day!
Appreciate the suggestion
Dude, you are excellent!!!!!!!
After 10 years of driving i have learned take care of yourself and fellow drivers life is too short you cant take anything for granted make each day out here the best for you and never be too proud to ask for help
I am also driver and this is best motivational video. And more specifically best sentence of this video is “HELP YOUR LOVED ONES”
I'm from Florida too.
I start CDL training on Monday and videos like yours have been really helping to give me an idea of what to expect. I appreciate everything you and others like you do, thanks Shelby!!
@Jim Eagle. good luck and best wishes on your trucking career, please choose wisely on your choice of carriers that you plan to drive for.
Me personally am not a fan of the larger carriers, I got my start at the Crash and Roll Academy in S.L.C., I only lasted four months there, fortunately I had paid for my training up front so I didn't have a black mark on my record for leaving early.
I put in 22yrs pulling OTR refrigerated, 21yrs of it for the same company.
A small stroke that affected my eyesight has taken me off of the road.
Take care and best wishes.
Dude this channel is all glamour it is absolutely not what to expect, I am OTR with a mentor right now and be prepared to shower looking at someone else’s pubic hair, getting screwed on hours and sleeping on a noisy dirt pull out, and working 70 hours a week and much much more . I’m local ASAP
@@zachz699 Yup, from one small sliver of the industry, I'm done after 22yrs of dragging around a '53 reefer.
It can be a nightmare out there.
That's so kewl I am from Oviedo

Always great videos Shelby. Regarding Shell Rotella Syntethic, I have been using it in my 2002 Saturn SL2 with 255,000 miles and my 99 Chevy Tahoe with 184,000 miles. never any internal engine failure.
Washing your rig yourself forces you to look at some things you may not otherwise notice. Keeping it clean helps expose problems that otherwise might not be visible. Winters coming, be prepared.
I enjoy watching these videos. You share a positive message to the trucking industry where so many drivers have nothing good to say. Thank you!
My dad was a top indy 500 and NYPD mechanic. He liked shell products. We use shell gas when possible.
To all truckers, be safe.
Your next video better be Oscar nominated, with the amount of time you put into editing :)
She doesn't do any of the editing if you didn't know
Miss your videos shelby!
Very nice video Shelby! Opening the tough conversations that I know I don't like talking about. You would be a great boss to work for but operating equipment is my thing! I have my CDL and I keep it active just in case, but I wish more employers were like you and how you care for your employees and people in general! Keep up the good work and videos!
Guess this channel is toast
Awesome video ... You make my driving day much easier. Truck driving is a great job, but you have to have a LOT of patience and the ability sometimes to see things that MAY happen ahead. I totally agree Pre & Post Trips are essential to keep you moving and on time and more importantly getting you back HOME after the day is done. Take care, and stay safe, Love ya ... AND nanners for Dakota
You stay safe I got my kidney on Halloween I'm doing good though
Rest easy and good luck
pls post and where are u
I watch till the video goes off. I have my own channel so I know the importance of that. Can’t wait to see more videos ! You inspire so many people !
Boa noite linda 💋💋💋💋
I’m happy as a homicide detective but I wish videos like this existed about life in law enforcement. Tips what to expect etc.
I think I know just the guy to make one of those! I will pass it on because I also agree with you, I think more people should consider these things we really don't like to think about.
That would be my dream job, I am entrenched in the murder mysteries wherever I find them. You have to be a master puzzler, putting all the pieces together. May you be exceedingly successful.
Your excitement is fun to watch, nice to hear from you in the u.s about trucking ❤️👍🇬🇧 much love shel
WOW amazing,I like all your vedio ma'am thank you for sharing this, watching from Manila Pier 16, Philippines
Great channel, I always watch the whole length of your videos, because i like truck driving, the transport industry, but also because you are a nice person. 👍😀
I sincerely appreciate it! You are the real MVP :)
I'm a logger not a trucker but got to drive a 13speed log truck and an 8speed log truck (I'm in PA). Today I got to drive again with the trailer empty (5th wheel type) on the 8 speed.
I told the owner I took a blind woman in traffic let her drive between 70-80mph. For some odd reason he thinks I'm nuts.What's your opinion?
I can see how something like youtube can make your days better. Back when I drove it was a lonely job on the road and just having something like even a camera to talk to would make you feel connected. If it would have been okay I would have had a dog with me as that would make any day better, even the really bad days. Enjoy your videos and glad to see you are still truckin and enjoying life.
I love you so much
Feel like I saw you in Hardin MT when I stopped for fuel....wouldn't matter anyways, cause I never bother Ytubers on the road.
Cheers 🥃🥃😊👊🏻
Stumbled on your channel . Slc based , Many years of car hauling & I am looking forward to making time to watch more videos past and future .
Stay safe 👊🏻
Good to see you back, very informative. Been driving 11 years, learn new things every day, maintenance and keeping trucks clean is definitely key. Be safe out there and Merry Christmas
Hey!! I’m in Salt Lake City for a reset. I wish I would be able to meet with you!! Looking forward to seeing another video!!!
Sad note, in the morning I will leave out in the morning to drive to Reno, NV, Tuesday I will be delivering 2 Silverado pickup trucks to two different dealers in southern Sacramento area and one to Seaside, CA. Then drive halfway to Oregon. Wednesday I will deliver in Oregon and then start dead heading to Houston, Tx. Don’t worry, they are paying me $35 an hour loaded or empty so still making good money. Hope all is weal with you!!
We love u Shelby
Hey Shelby, read your website about company uniforms. The word THEM is used back to back. The first THEM should be THEN. Dont you think ?
Hate my 2022 Freightliner, nothing but problems…. Miss my 2020 Pete, way more reliable and comfortable!!
God Bless, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You have a great companion in Dakota. Just like my 2 dogs, under my feet 27/7.
