💞Thanks for watching!! We are happy to have you along with us, discovering the Roads of America and learning about trucking!!🚚🚚🚚
I am so glad I don’t do over the road anymore. I deliver milk to grocery stores here in Michigan, but I do thank
the over the road truck drivers. Good job, Kevin.
Some advice, Kevin. Turn the key and let the dash screen do its thing, and the proper lights like the engine light go off before starting the truck. These new dashes are annoying, but it will help not having issues with the truck, not thinking there's actually a problem.
That’s a good tip! Thank you!!
Your very welcome Tonya, and Kevin ❤❤u2 greatest channel on earth n 🇺🇸 n you tube.. 2 wonderful people seem... very kind both... I watch all videos from beginning.. maybe run into u2 one day.. be honor.. your number 1 viewer Foster. Joy of trucking is number 1❤
Success! Congrats!! Welcome back Tanya!
Thank you!! 🤗🥰🤩
Steven from Irwin Pennsylvania I think you two are the best Drivers/copilot, Kevin you are blessed to have your wife along with you,. God bless you both and your family.
The Big Bang Theory had an episode where Sheldon was rewarding Penny with chocolates. Lol. 😂
👍😆😂🤣😁
😂😅 I know watched that episode. Its funny 😄 😊
Good episode it was
Number ❤1 channel in world 🌎.. hello Kevin n Tonya ❤never miss episode, u2 be safe.. your number 1 viewer..Glenn Foster ,
Kevin, do you do a walk through on the inside of your empty trailers? Looking for damage or possibly showing signs of water leaks? Possible chemical spills?
Not unless he sees it from the doors. If there’s a hole in the roof you can usually see the light shining in.
Nothing better than watching the pin pop 😅🎉❤
@@richardeckert6130 Lol!!! Yes! It’s a satisfying sound! Too bad trucker him/herself can’t watch it. Kevin appreciated the video. 😉😆😂🤣
Nice Video
You would have to be very careful about " Drop Off's" If you hit a drop off by any chance can cause your vehicle to tilt". And it's the same if your land gear got caught up on the railroad tracs a get hung up.
Can be a bit dangerous
I would not join a company that has all automatic trucks I like to know I have some control of what I'm driving but nice to see you two are having fun
Que faça uma boa viagem
I been there before that lady in the guard house is a tough one she made me turn around go out and reweigh
Whenever I pick up a new trailer lately, I’ve been trying to remember to do the whole pre-trip and then pull the truck up like 2 feet to make sure there’s not any ball spots on the other side of the tires. I’ve had a couple trailers recently with bald spots on them, so I’ve been double checking a lot more you know how it is though do you never know it’s always better to double check I guess
That's a very good method!!! Thanks for sharing! Do the same for tractor tires too. Kevin just had a tire replaced due to a bald spot.
Did I just pass u guys going west on 74 in Illinois around mm 73
Yes!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣🤗🤣🥰👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
@@TheJoyofTrucking well collard at on the CB. Lol where u headed?
If going to purina davenport can't use river drive it's flooded. We gotta meet up sometime.
@@12GageWL Oh. Sorry. Didn’t hear anything. 🤔
@@12GageWL Thanks for the tip! Just crossed the bridge in Davenport. Looks bad! Luckily Kevin is heading to Omaha.
You guys are like watching a training video ... where's all those long road trips 😅
@@terryharris6477 😆😆😆Well…this was just the first load out of Florida. Patience, patience. Lol!
Nice of you to show the flag of the neighbor to the north. I live in NB across the river is northern Maine. Cheers.
Good morning😊love dark chocolate ha. Was a driver years ago but my CDL is invalid. Got the fever again 😔 Will
😃👍👋👋👋
I want a liver dinner AND coffee!
Awesome clipboard dude! Where can I get one?
Hi I really enjoy your content and wanted to ask if you got your CDL through a company sponsored program or pay out of pocket?
I am planning to take the leap this year.
Thanks
@@tfergy8353 Glad you are enjoying our content! 🎉
Congratulations on your decision. Kevin went to Phoenix Truck Driving School in Phoenix and we paid for it ourselves. ($4,000 in 2021). This gave him total freedom in who he wants to drive for. And, Werner actually reimbursed him over $200 per month for it. 🥳
If you look at our playlists you’ll find interviews we did every day after school. And we talk about his start in trucking at Werner. Best of luck! Let us know how it goes! You can also check community colleges and VA (if you’re a veteran) or other programs that offer financial support. Thanks for watching our channel!
😊
Hello to you both today turtle here a question for you when you get close to your driving hours and you are looking for a place to stop but everything is full and now you have no hours left so what happens to you run a safety violation thanks
@IanDermott-yb3hv That’s a BIG problem in trucking because there’s often no parking available. That’s why some drivers get very ‘creative’ with parking solutions. In the end the DOT doesn’t care as to the why. It’s an HOS violation.
That’s why trip planning is soooooo important. Leave enough time near end of day. Have several possibilities in mind. Kevin starts early in the day to have better options, though that’s not always possible. At Crete there are also terminals to fall back on if they are en route. And some customers let you stay if you are delivering or picking up there.
Hope that helps!
Here’s a video that might also help!

Do you have a Commercial Drivers License?
@@Bigdubb270 Kevin has his CDL. I do not. I’m the paparazzi and the UA-camr. 😆😃
@@TheJoyofTrucking What year is the truck
@@Bigdubb270 2024 😃🎉🥳
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What black magic is this that you get to drop early at a Walmart?
😂😂😂🤣😂Yes! First time that’s happened!!!! They actually sent a message saying we could. It’s in a previous video. We were shocked!!!
I am so glad I don’t do over the road anymore. I deliver milk to grocery stores here in Michigan, but I do thank
the over the road truck drivers. Good job, Kevin.
