Two things I love about Dave’s channel his iconic laugh and him singing Also how he shows everything about trucking most channels don’t. Dave and billi jo phenomenal job.
I've been ill with an upper respiratory infection for the last two now going on three weeks. I am unable to do anything right now. Its as if life has stopped for me. Well, your vlogs are really helping to lift my spirits and stay positive. Cheers Dave and Billie Joe...keep on git'n it!
A little help just starting out never be afraid to ask for help and even if you already know how to do something and someone offers another way of doing learn that way to and never stop learning
Hopefully you do your research before choosing a company, they are not all the same. Avoid incidents whenever possible. Going to your next company could be more difficult as safety depts and insurance companies don't care if your a new driver. An incident or accident will count against you.
Entertaining video for sure. Billie Jo has to be happy since she got her winders warshed. I miss my accent from home. Love these videos so much. Great for rainy day here at home. Stay safe Dave and Billie Jo.
Seen a CFI near Raphine, VA today. Don't see too many around me, so had to look and see if it was yall, but it wasn't. Enjoy your videos, watch every one.
Odessa is my home town. Wish I was there but I'm in CDL school about to test out on Wednesday. Hope to see you guys out on the road one of these days. I'll also be with CFI. Keep up to good work on the video. Always entertaining.
Hey Dave and bill I jo I will be joining stevens transport beginning of next month. Hope to see y’all somewhere on the road one day. I’m a big fan. Me and my wife are going to start our vids one day on our road trip experiences. Man may god keep blessing you and billi jo. Thanks so much! See y’all soon!
Psh I've ran my truck on E for 77 years. Yall done been good for another 31.7 miles considering the needle is .4 millimeters to the E. You have 35.5 miles of reserve in the tanks 5 seconds after the low fuel light turns on. Rookies
great job guys, laughed a few times this vlog and enjoy watching these vlogs when I get back home from being on the road, I was in Tennessee this past week twice :) and back up to Ontario, Canada.
As far as knowing if you can keep driving when your gauge shows empty, next time it shows empty, fuel up completely and compare how many gallons you put in vs how many can the truck hold.
Sometimes the float gets stuck. Better be safe than sorry. You do not need any sediment creeping into your fuel lines. Great seeing y'all STAY WELL STAY SAFE FRANKIE L.I.
1/4 is minimum for me. KW has funky fuel guages. The t680s read from one tank but pull from both tanks. one tank can be 1/4 full but the one with the sensor has 3/8ths or a half tank. When the second tank decides to equalize the fuel gauge will change rapidly and scare the crap outta you.
Electronics in today's trucks are made in the cheapest country or place they can find. Good to see you two on the road again after you vacation. But you got a chance to chill for a bit and got paid. It's crazy how much of a hard time companies are having getting parts for trucks. Looking forward to new content. You guys do great together. I think you two should have a backing competition and see who is best. My money is on .........
If you want In-N-Out Burger, stop in Barstow sometime. There's an In-N-Out there off the same exit that all of the well known truck stops are off of (x178 Lenwood Rd). You might be able to park in the old Factory Outlet parking lot behind In-N-Out, unless they're still doing construction back there. Otherwise, park in Del Taco's parking lot and walk over to In-N-Out.
I drove 41 years for UPS, about half of it cross country. Our Freightliner had buttons I could push to show my gpm, how many gallons I had burned, etc. So when I got low I could figure if we could make our fuel stop.
That's why I'm glad my company doesn't have us do scheduled fuel stops, we can pretty much fuel anytime we need to as long as it's at the big 6 truck stops, no mom and pop truck stops.
Two ways you can handle this. The way you did OR you can keep going to ur designated fuel stop and if you run out of fuel just call CFI for an emergency fuel del to ur truck. and they can pay for it since their fueling location determined by a computer program based on ur current fuel level sent u there.
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. I'm just wondering due you Dave drive anymore nothing wrong with Billie Joe driving she's a great driver just asking. God bless you guys and as always be safe 👍
Coincidentally, I'm at the Pilot in Robinson right now. I just delivered to the Coca Cola facility here in Waco this morning and am on a 34 now. I've seen a few of your cohorts here too.
I have driven over 100 miles with the fuel light on so it is technically possible but that wasn’t by choice and I wouldn’t try it again lol you did the right thing
Damn it Dave. I have looked at every single CFI truck around Illinois and normally get a dumb look back. Seems like you guys are ghosts man. Hahahahahahaha. See ya soon buddy
Im actually in training to get my CDL with Pam Transport lol they haul car parts and shit like that, sometimes class 8 hazmat which would just be car batteries
@@BobbyG83 I know how bad Pam is but I gotta start somewhere honestly, I plan to just stick it out a year to finish my contract and switch over to something better preferably regional solo, or local but I need that 1-2 years experience first before any good company paying good will be willing to hire me
@@joejinjal3476 I live in the Minnesota area and rolled with Roehl on a regional home weekly. At it now on my own for about two months. I pick up everyday near home then head to the delivery site for morning drop then deadhead back for another. Only thing getting to me is the current deep freeze that usually handle well but doing flatbed having to be outside extended time is taking its toll on me.
If you don't believe your fuel gauge, just stick the tank. Or eyeball if you don't keep a stick handy. Then you know for sure! Basic GOAL stuff, actually.
I've been driving for 99 years and I own 3 Kentworth T680's and I tell you right now you could have made that fuel stop.. y'all shouldn't have stopped!! You rookie, steerwheel holding, GPS reading sons of a guns!!
Watching the video and seeing the truck stuck I was telling myself some should call tow King to get Pam unstuck sure enough there was tow king. I am from Belton so it was nice to see y'all close by. If you ever need your truck washed when in this area let me know. I have a mobile power wash business and I do fleet washing.
Speaking of running out of fuel. Was doing my 30 one day at a Love's and a guy ran out of fuel right on front of me on his way to the fuel island. Apparently the only English he was able to speak that day was, "No diesel!"
I used to have that problem with my old kw, it would go from half straight to empty it was unnerving especially if you second guess what you saw earlier
Question brotha me and my lady are looking to do the same thing you and yours are , on the “ preferred area of interest” should we put OTR student or OTR teams ?
Two things I love about Dave’s channel his iconic laugh and him singing Also how he shows everything about trucking most channels don’t. Dave and billi jo phenomenal job.
I agree with you on his iconic laugh but his signing... well... there's a reason that he doesn't live in Nashville.
🤣
@@gregstruckingweatherandroa1414Dave the seat warmer. 🤣
@@gregstruckingweatherandroa1414 no. We just need to convince him to drive for a vlog. In a polite way.

Sending you positive thoughts and hope you get better soon.
Take some Bromelain and zinc picolinate to eat up that infection and set you to right
@@tmo.48 where can I get those 2 items in US 🇺🇸 are they Vitamins ?
Getting stuck right by an entrance would be the worst place. Thanks for the video Dave!
I’m all giggles and smiles. You young folks are just precious. Great teamwork.
Like the comment around 4:00 where she jokes about him never running out of gas himself...😂
@@JohnHallgren lol 😂 I watched that three times
@@robervin9107 and then the singing about ‘blowing my whistle’...yeah, where’s that whistle at? 😳
@@JohnHallgren exactly lol 😂 I was waiting for him to
I would have lmao if Billie Jo had stopped and got out of the truck with a tire iron while you were singing. Run Dave RUNNN 🤣🤣
Years ago I used to drive a Tractor Trailer rig from Carrollton, Texas to Austin, Texas at night, watching this one brings back memories
I have called Loves sooooo many times for drivers out of fuel...T-680 life :))
Thank you for shouting out my hometown in Texas
Haha, Dave. The humor you two share makes me snort. BillieJo is the best. Stay safe:)
Glad we can entertain you Crystal:)
You are the captain of the ship you guys do what is right for u.
This danish truckdriver loves your videos giving a positive view on the trucking life.
Just got my CDL permit today, I'm excited to start trucking soon!
Gratulation on you getting your CDL Today
A little help just starting out never be afraid to ask for help and even if you already know how to do something and someone offers another way of doing learn that way to and never stop learning
So what company are you going to?

@@thetexastrucker7934 Think I'm going with Schneider since they're a bit closer to home. Prime is my second choice

Good job backing Billie Jo. An artist at work when you back.
I love this channel. Laugh all the time. He shows lots of things about the truck.
I wanna see you drive one day my friend.
Odessa is my home town. Wish I was there but I'm in CDL school about to test out on Wednesday. Hope to see you guys out on the road one of these days. I'll also be with CFI. Keep up to good work on the video. Always entertaining.
If you have friends that have 1 year experience, I need a driver for Amarillo dedicated position

14:00, Dave you need to make sure you got a lock on your trailer, loaded or not
Love watching your video Dave. Do you ever Drive??? Lol. Keep making it Great. God Bless you too
Posted for my birthday! HAhaha thank you guys for you vids, I'm looking at CFI just b/c of y'all. Would love to meet you guys at a terminal one day!
Love you guys, have fun, safe travels

Man I've been gone from this channel for a long time, because now he's got a new driver!
She's a damn good driver, best backer so far
I never let my truck drop below half a tank after it did that to me 🤣. My heart dropped!

Just applied to CFI, no cdl experience. Just got dumped and I’m 21 might as well go out and make some money and get experience
Great video brother!
Must be nice to share the bunk with someone, well if you see a truck rocking its probably Dave and billie jo 😉😜😀😄🤣 you guys are awesome
always hyped when you post dave 🐐
Some of the fuel stops I get are just absurd. Most of the time they keep the truck full but every once in awhile they make me really really nervous.

Dave, that windshield needs a good coat of rainx to be able to see better.

That’s awesome man I drive by that caterpillar in Waco all the time
Yall be careful heading out this way today real slick out here in midland Odessa area
Why didn't you fuel at the CFI terminal?🤔
Hello Dave and Billy Joe and I enjoy your channel and stay safe from Rensselaer Indiana
Having too much fun with the CB 😂😂
Stay safe stay trucking

When it gets to empty, sails deploy to get you to the gas station
I swear the Seagoville Wash baby is always closed when we go through 😂
I love them FMA roads in Texas
The more I watch your videos, the more I think about becoming a long haul trucker
Coincidentally, I'm at the Pilot in Robinson right now. I just delivered to the Coca Cola facility here in Waco this morning and am on a 34 now. I've seen a few of your cohorts here too.

Not trying to talk crap, but I'd get your cdl and find a better company man, my brother did it and made horrible money at Pam

@@pugmalley gotta make that money though, trucking is a great industry to be in in my opinion, very respectable not anyone has what it takes
thanks for keeping America moving y'all
I literally ran out of fuel at the top of the exit ramp to the loves once it was embarrassing as hell lol
Dave, when are we going to see you drive
Don’t wanna run out, I’ve never ran out but have had to help someone bleed their pump. Better safe than sorry
Dave motivated me into trucking I've been trying to run into him
LOVE Y'ALL'S VIDEO GUYS
If you don't believe your fuel gauge, just stick the tank. Or eyeball if you don't keep a stick handy. Then you know for sure! Basic GOAL stuff, actually.
A stick from a tree works fine.
What was the gray thing under the trailer that could be seen when Billiejo was backing it in?
I've been driving for 99 years and I own 3 Kentworth T680's and I tell you right now you could have made that fuel stop.. y'all shouldn't have stopped!! You rookie, steerwheel holding, GPS reading sons of a guns!!
Ahh now this comment makes sense :)
Watching the video and seeing the truck stuck I was telling myself some should call tow King to get Pam unstuck sure enough there was tow king. I am from Belton so it was nice to see y'all close by.

When will these hayseed farm boys realize that a semi truck ain’t for muddin!
Speaking of running out of fuel. Was doing my 30 one day at a Love's and a guy ran out of fuel right on front of me on his way to the fuel island. Apparently the only English he was able to speak that day was, "No diesel!"
We passed right by you guys. We're headed to ohio. Safe travels to y'all. 💛
That was the Hartland Express Yard! That you people are going out of!!!! When did CFI get that Yard??
😄lots of Pam in this one, I could’ve been in this video 👀
I used to have that problem with my old kw, it would go from half straight to empty it was unnerving especially if you second guess what you saw earlier
havent watched a vid in a hot minute but we back boi
I’m just curious why you didn’t fill up with fuel at the CFI Dallas yard before leaving?
Thanks!
always pay attention to your gas hand when you're driving
Hey guys your terminal there in Seagoville that used to be Heartland Express terminal
Don't take a chance on that fuil like that
Imagine how more salty she would've been if the truck did get washed and then here comes the rain😆
Should be called riding with Bobijoe or Billyjoe lol 😂 whatever her name is cuz she’s always driving 😂
Did Dave stop driving? I don't see him driving any more!
I have my CDL test today wish me luck Does CFI have any Illinois hubs?
Every time I drop to E, the fuel filter needs replaced after I refill :( dirty fuel on the bottom of the tanks
What brand is your high-vis jacket?
I love your vlogs
Love the content keep it up.
When will we see you driving and Billy Jo filming?
I just tried In-n-Out yesterday in CA. I got the Double Double animal style, and it was awesome. I also got some fries and i was not a fan.
I agree with you- Double Double with grilled onions and a Chocolate Shake. Skip the fries.
Dave, do you ever drive or do you just do the videos?
Lucky y'all go into the rain wished I could my truck also has a ton of salt on it thanks Chicago area 🙄🙄
I've been off the road for about six years so did CFI buy out transport America or is it the other way around
Question brotha me and my lady are looking to do the same thing you and yours are , on the “ preferred area of interest” should we put OTR student or OTR teams ?
Wondered who bought Heartland Express yard, now I know.
Down to a 1/4 tank. Start looking for file to fill. Everytime. That's a unritghten rule.
Fuel. Not file.
Hey Dave, could you do some videos of you driving?
Hey dave and billy joe how are you i say hi from palm spring california let me know went you are in the palm spring truck stop
I hate the newer trucks.. they got them choked down with all the emissions crap.. they sound like lawnmowers on steroids at a light. Good video guys.
Do them mega carrier's say when u can get fuel jw ppl
Hi, I’m a new sub and digging your channel. What are those long flaps on some of the trailers? Why do some have them and some not? God Bless
The side skirts? Those are for aerodynamics for better fuel mileage
@@RidingWithDave I see, that’s cool. It makes some sense. Y’all are funny to ride along with. Stay safe and God Bless.
