I will say this, p&d will make you a backing pro. Way back when i was in driving school, my instructor was a p&ddriver for r and yell, along with backing in every way, he also showed maneuverability. We only drove the interstate once the whole time. The rest was all narrow backroads, steep grades and the like. And a lot of downtown. Taught us all a lot. Comes in handy especially now that my job consists of a whole lot of backroad driving and with of all things, oversize loads. 80, 90, 100 ft long loads down narrow windy backroads all over the northeast. Love it. Never thought I'd learn so much from an ltl driver. Great video, keep up the great work.
Totally agree
Chuck thank you for all you do, without you truck drivers we would have nothing. Love your videos its very informative.
👊🏻
I start p&d Monday have to do it for a month before i can start line haul not looking forward to it lol.
It’s not bad at all, it will definitely keep you in n your toes and you get a good workout
When is the videos coming back I miss your videos brother
13 stops in 3 hrs you must have been flying??🤠 Maybe I’ve just been working for ABF too long lol
Why don't you chock your wheels? Many of my customers wouldn't touch your truck until they verified that you were chocked.
Those chocks do absolutely nothing. Most have bumper locks
Thanks for the ride Chuck! I can't believe that bonehead sweeping his trailer out in the parking lot! (Really I can believe it, I used to see it all the time.)
Yea, something I wouldn’t do.
Yup! Former "orange palace" employee that would then be sent out to clean that shit up the next day when supes saw it. Just do it while you're docked, we'd bring you a damn garbage can. Oh well, lol
Just was in tulsa Ok today delivering on 15th st by Utica st and 41th and Havard street not to bad only one tight right turn ! Good video chuck 👍
I know the area, we appreciate your service driver
No no those days aren't gone. If you pedal an auto you're a steering wheel holder. If you have a manual you are a truck driver.
I prefer manual transmission you have more control over the truck that way
I picked up 13 from that orange place today. Weighing a whopping 1500 pounds 😂
Their weight is always off 😂
I see why you like the run you are on. Mostly wide open industrial parks. I preferred having the same run every day myself.
Chuck thank you for all you do, without you truck drivers we would have nothing. Love your videos its very informative.
Nice video! Just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching. I am not a driver, receive several LTL deliveries a day at my job and I wish some of my drivers were as cool as you are.
Thanks for coming along on the journey. Customers are the backbone to our business, have to give them great service 👍🏻
@@TheTulsaTrucker I feel the same about giving my normal drivers excellent service. Have to be ready to go. From Western NY, up her we call it Ess-tease.
We're those permanent load locks hanging from the ceiling of the trailer
Yes, some of our trailers have them.
Chuck are you liking P&D again? Your videos are very informative I really enjoy them. Thank’s Chuck
I do miss LH and will most likely go back in 6 months once my terminal is fully staffed and trained in the city.
20TH ‼️✔️👍
👊🏻
You should get extra pay for driving manual.
I wish 😂 👊🏻
How long you been with Estes? I work at 089/combo driver. Waiting for the Arlington/F.W. to open. That will be my home terminal.
2 years, That terminal is going to be massive, I know several drivers from Irving that are going there. Stay safe driver
Freight is pickin up! been slow for about 6 weeks or so, now we are back on a 6 day schedule. Running out of trailers for all the routes we are loading up for P&D. Crazy how quickly freight volumes change!
It’s coming back in some cities but others are still lagging behind.
Hey Chuck at your fourth pick-up why did you back in from street.? I was told that was always to dangerous to do. Not knowing if a vehicle was completely by out or not or pedestrians like groundskeepers.
Some places you have to.
I worked with old timers who said manual gears were for real drivers, then the owner started getting Volvo iShifts within 6 months they were like these are the best thing since sliced bread lol, as for poor auto gear change if we weren't happy they went back to Volvo for some tweaking of the electronics.
Those Volvo Ishifts are like driving a car. They are awesome
Hey chuck. I really enjoy your videos. I was a P&D driver for a short haul company out of okla city. I drove for 32 years. My last 17 years was p&d in okla my route usually was about 350 miles round trip. And a lot of o& d in and around Oklahoma City. And your videos bring back a lot of fond memories. You have your truck backing skills down to a art. And when your deliveries are a big percentage of your day you tend to get good at it. I’ve been told a lot of times that I separate the men from the boys when it comes to backing a trailer. But I just tell them it’s not that Iam better than any other driver just maybe a little more experienced. I am retired now. I sure miss driving. And your videos make my day. Thanks.
I appreciate the comment Roy, thanks for all your years of service and you can come ride shotgun with it’s me anytime 👊🏻
Wth boy 13 deliveries 830-1100 wth Man U making ltl look bad that should of lasted till 1300 don’t work that hard brother
I can only go so slow driver 😂
Mad backing skills there.
Chuck did you ever have a situation where you didn't have room for all your pickups. Or do the dispatchers know how much you can take
If we run out of room they send another driver by for the pickup
Love the pallet cam 🤣 was getting used to LH now enjoy seeing P&D again 😁
Thanks for following the adventures 👊🏻
Your lucky you have a roll up door it's easier then getting out of the truck and open the door it makes it easier to back up
Agreed
I wish my trailer had a roll up door but It don't
What happened to the new extra board videos much love from NC
Will be putting out a video discussing this very question. Thanks for the comment
You will like the store you can visit us
Hey there chuck, somehow I think that they hooked you up with me because of my name. Imagine that lol 😝
Somehow they are related way back down that ancestor trail.
Do you guys at Estes ever do 90 degree alley backs? When I jockeyed that’s all we were allowed to do
Depends on the situation must we pretty much do about every back possible.
Do you ask any of the people at the places you're delivering/picking up if they mind you filming, or do you wait until someone says anything?
Every single one of them. Many I go to on a daily bases
@@TheTulsaTrucker was just wondering as I know some people get funny about it. Love the videos btw
Are you using your line haul truck for today video?
No sir, city truck.
Why am I watching this on my day off?😂
I appreciate the support Driver 😂
Good to see your still doing videos I got to catch up stay blessed!
Yes sir, always enjoy sharing
Crystal
How do i apply at eates
Link in my videos description
Do some forklift drivers load the freight for you?
Yes
That face you made at the camera 9:25, priceless 😂😂😂😂
😎😂👊🏻
Hi chuck
✌🏻
What is the terminal number for Indianapolis?
Volvo I-Shift is like butter! There is a learning curve for backing in an automatic. My first time I hit that dock so hard it knocked my hat off! And in any kind of city traffic, please give me an automatic! Clutch knee is real. Another fine video!
Good customer service
Always try my best. 👍🏻
Hey Chuck, how many times have you forgot to put your pallet jack back in your trailer?
Once and that was enough 😂
@@TheTulsaTrucker It seems to be a common thing with Estes. It seems to be a common trend with Estes and T-Force. Always funny when pallet jacks get left behind.
Seems like a great job. thanks for sharing. Keep the hammer down, catch a on the flip side.
I had a boss that was so particular I would just get back and watch him load it himself. I have scene him reload a truck because he did like the way it looked, crazy guy, but a good boss. 🤣
Chuck
You got me hooked!
🎣 😂. Thanks for the support 👊🏻
hi
👊🏻
Thank you for what you do. I am trying to back to driving again want to go back to over the road.
I think I've told you this before, but I love watching your channel. I recognize most of the roads that you're driving on. Keep up the good work!
great video sir
Thanks Brandon 👊🏻
im new watcher be safe on ur teavels
I appreciate you following along welcome to the channel
thank you sir glad to ride along
And I play a game with tractor trailers do that count lol
I hate to sound like an idiot. But what's p&d?
Pick up & delivery
Thanks.
drive by your hamburg, ny terminal every day
13 deliveries by 12 o’clock good Lord
Nice video man
👊🏻
Hi Chuck me is wondering how ye secure your pickups? I’m liking your content a lot and safe travels and watching from the cross the puddle in the UK 🇬🇧 🚛💨💨😎
Some will ride just as they are others I use a strap.
Another awesome video Chuck. I been watching for a while and I just subbed to you. You're good at backing, almost as good as me. Lol. I'm gonna send you a couple pictures of my truck, hopefully you'll put it on your video. I work for Red Rock Transportation in so cal. We do food service deliveries to Trader Joe's stores. Be safe.
Much appreciated sir, I will definitely put the pic in a future vlog 👊🏻
Hey Man great video! I know Estes doesn’t pay overtime till 52 hours. What does a P&D driver get for hours typically where you work?
After 50 and depends on seniority typically 47-50
My local Estes is Hiring for a OTR position. I’m considering it but would love to know What’s the home time like?
Thank You
Gone for 4 days 5 nights home for 2 1/2 days. It’s a great position and they make the most money.
Gotta love electric pallet jacks.
I have trouble backing my snowmobiler trailer ! Thanks for letting us se how freight gets moved , much appreciate you guys !
Thanks for coming along Michael 😂
Awesome vlog as always chuck. Man if you look real close at the grass at the spot you backed in at off the street you'll see my tire tracks...lol. Awesome job backing. I'm just getting caught up with you. I'm finishing up my last couple of days of training. This mphs terminal is so busy I've been able to put my name on 4 bid runs coming up. Thanks for your channel and thoughts on Estes. You've helped a lot. Although I'm going back to being a company guy again I'm still going to send you the pics of the trucks I got. Keep up the good work stay safe. 💪🏾
Been to that terminal several times, it is non stop there. Stay safe driver
Nice video to see. Thankful for ya! Columbia, SC is my neck of the woods... wonder what it could be. 🤔
I appreciate that Jacob, what ever it was it’s on its way 😁
I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Had never seen that style of ramp.
That was great, we got to see the star of the show/Vlog.
I have always wanted to operate a big rig but it's not in my cards. Watching vlogs like yours I feel like I'm there doing it too. I did send some pics of my "rig" but it's what I can do to help.
Glad you could come ride shotgun with me, stop by anytime
Chuck I'm impressed with your backing into the inside dock. I have only had a few opportunity's to try but I struggle to see inside the building.
L. E. D lights inside that area makes a big difference. We put L. E. D. S up in our whse. I can see now.
Thats a nice clean trailer
I'm in western North Carolina! Thank you Chuck for hauling our freight!
That’s Awesome, it’s on its way.. 😁👊🏻
I could watch 10 hours of this. Just started orientation at Prime on Monday, looking forward to going out with a trainer next week :)
It’s going to be ruff but just know it’s temporary and may you get a good trainer 👊🏻
Looking like you have backed up once or twice in your trucking career or as my late pop used to say you and him have backed up more than most guys drove forward sorry hope you see the humour in it lol
Your pops was spot on 😂
I was just thinking last video, "I hope Chuck shows some pick ups", and here we are! good to see you doing well, have a blessed week!
I try and mix it up thanks for stopping by the channel as always!!
Thanks for the video Chuck! Stay safe!!
👊🏻
Thanks for the videos. Fellow employee here from the home office
Thanks Christopher, it’s always great to hear from my Estes Teammates!! Have a blessed weekend.
Great video. I like your fast pace and energy.
Thank you sir, I appreciate you coming along 👍🏻
What made you switch from line haul to p&d?
Helping the terminal they are short P&D Drivers
Hey Chuck that pallet that head to Columbia South Carolina that's where I'm from
That’s always cool to see someone’s comment from a city I picked up something for. Thanks for the comment!!
@@TheTulsaTrucker yea and anytime my friend keep up with the good vlogs
P & D is a younger persons job for sure.
We have 60 year old guys who put the younger drivers to shame.
Good way to wind down my Tuesday with my brother in Christ Chuck and his Estes Express truck 🛻. I’m a automatic guy only. Hopefully when I get my CDL I’ll say only a automatic for me or bust lol 😂
I appreciate that Travis 👊🏻
@@TheTulsaTrucker I love watching your trucking videos on your UA-cam channel keep up the great work I see. That you are Dropping a delivery off at Home Depot I just got a job at our local Home Depot
enjoy your video
I appreciate that Gary 👊🏻
Hi! I love your channel. I’m not I trucking but am seriously considering moving from my desk job. Please keep posting and explaining everything in details for us that are not in the business. Love your enthusiasm.
I appreciate the kind words, I use to have one of those desk jobs glad I made the change to something else!!
I have a questions why doesn’t any of the 53’ trailers have lift gates?
We have 48’s for that
Alright thanks
