    Hello Bandit! I'm Smurfette! I had to leave the trucking industry around 2011. I am chronically ill, and suffer greatly from pain. At the height of my career, I drove an extended hood Pete just like yours, side windows, dual stacks and all. I remember the 'Streakin Beacon' as we called that truck wash you visit occasionally. You ARE very lucky! You're a very good driver, extremely professional, and if anyone has any issues with the 'occasional language' you may use, this isn't the channel for them. I love your videos! If an individual would take their son or daughter on the road with them, especially when we depended on the CB radio, they would say your language is very mild, because that CB could get real graphic! I had to sift through all the garbage to get info! We even sent messages to each other through the CB. Of course, technology has evolved. My CB was mounted overhead; there's no place but overhead in an extended hood Pete. I was mainly dry van, but I've hauled temperature controlled as well. You have a great channel, Bandit. All you seriously discuss is truth,💯. I'm very happy that I found you! I've liked, and subbed❤

      Nice to meet you Smurfette,
      Thank you very much for stopping by.
      I am sorry to hear about your health issues. Hopefully it’ll get better for you someday. Some of these blue beacons do a very bad job. But this one in Knoxville did a very good job that day I was there. Seems like only man babies are complaining about my language. This is trucking. I don’t know what they expect lol

      @@OTRBandit You're right about Knoxville. A lot of the others don't clean the trucks and they charge a lot! That's how they got that nickname because they'll mess up your truck! Those people who complain never set foot in a truck and wouldn't last anyway! Some are haters, lol. Finally, some are ignorant. It's a pleasure to meet you! I can come here and just let you do the driving 😊 You sure take pride in your ride. In the winter, it's hard to keep a clean truck, and when you pull up, people will look. The kiddos especially are awed. I haven't given up. It will get better, Thank you, Bandit. Much respect and prayers from a fellow trucker.🙏🏿❤

      @@OTRBandit I bet the line wasn't long there. I got sticker shock when you typed 85.00! And they streaked it up! Well, BB in Sioux City certainly earned the name Streakin' Beacon! Guys and Gals, now you see why Bandit's channel is so hot! You'll learn a lot! And can find out where to go, and where to stay away from down to the showers! I was watching where you even demonstrated shower pressure! Looking for a decent place to bathe was another issue when I drove. Knoxville Petro was a good place, when I ran out West, I didn't have too much of an issue. I noticed that you don't do East Coast. I hated loads there because it's crowded and dirty. If you're at home, enjoy your time! Looking forward to another great blog! As always, be safe, Bandit!😊

Those Smokey Mountains, there’s nothing like them!! It takes me about 2 hours to get to Asheville where you went South to SC and that’s when I know the absolute beauty is close. Seeing your footage going through there was priceless because I know that stretch of 40 especially going through that tunnel. I have video myself going through there. I love it! Bandit! Shifting gears once you got to Greenville, freakin awesome! I’ve always loved to see the reflection of the sky on the hood your Blue Beast but after you stopped at the truck wash and that hood was shiny it was like a mirror image of the sky! Sorry about Food Lion treating you like that and thank goodness you got out of the way of that train! And yes us Southerners or most of us are nice people! Thank you for a great video!

    I can relate to hating anything rattling in a truck. I drove a Freightliner with an ashtray missing the part which holds the ashes and it stayed open. While driving it would open and close making an obnoxious sound.....until I jammed it full of paper to keep it closed. For every problem there is a solution. Like the view looking out over the long blue hood. I have driven through that gorge many times and it is rather scenic. Stay safe.

    Brother, it would be so cool, and funny as hell, to watch you and (UA-cam) "FSC," convoy on a run or two! Hes out of the Midwest. That run may not be as you say, "Man-Boy," friendly, but like I told him, "Truckin' is truckin'," Fu#$ng, is whatever you make it!".… I love you both!
