    @JustTruckin - I noticed in a few of your videos, that you're always talking about trying to locate the address/location of your pickups or deliveries. I'll give you a helping hand, especially for public ways (street) locations.
    The USA has been numbered for the 911- Emergency system. If you take the Street number and add a 0 to the end of it. That is the approximate number in Feet from the beginning of the roadway. So, if you are looking for 528 Main St. It is 5280 feet (1 mile) from the start of Main St. 1640 Main St, is 16,400 feet from the start of Main St. (3 miles approx). This can help you find locations, especially if you need to approximate how far you need to travel on a road, to get to your destination. (This works for State, Municipal roadways. NOT all the time for Private roads). Hope that helps you a little. Keep up with the videos.
    Respectfully, One of the Boys in Blue, up here in Massachusetts. Be Safe, God Bless.

      Did you actually believe the BS you spewed here? Nothing could be further from the truth. I have never heard anything so absurd in a while. What about the houses that were numbered before phones? Did they just renumber? Houses are numbered in consecutive fashion. Nothing to do with distance. I am in Mass as well and my house number is 199. 5 miles from the center of town (same road) and 14 miles from the start of the road. I have another house in Florida which is numbered 7806 on a 1/2 mile road. Obviously you have never been out of Mass. Scary part is you claim to be a cop. Just scares me that someone so ignorant could be a cop.

    I always put something over my son's feet after he fell asleep...so he wouldn't kick it off while awake. I got the honor to deliver my son at home in the bathtub...just my wife and I. That was high stress for me! Back then I was flying Internationally in DC-10's and later MD-11's...retired now. I would normally be gone for 14-16 days a month some where in the world, like you are somewhere in the USA. I When I was home I did 100% of the diapers changes. When I was home my son would make a fuss if anyone else tried to change his diapers, because in his mind it was Dad's job. I would talk to him 100% of the time while changing his diapers. He would listen intently to me all thou he could not say one word...talking would take his mind off the diaper change process. Great memories!

      Chris McFarlane nothing. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for the State of California. They paid the $74 for the testing fee and took written and driving on the clock. I didn’t do any practice driving, 20 years of driving them around the yard and backing them into parking spaces was enough to get me a perfect driving score. The Pre Trip was long, I basically did a full BIT inspection as I have done a couple times a day when I sign off their 90 day inspections.

    Hey I'm new to your channel. I live in Greenville, SC and currently working at a hotel as a shuttle driver, before COVID I would pick up a lot of truckers at Christopher Trucks on White Horse and Piedmont Road I really liked asking them questions about trucking. I just was accepted into Greenville Community College truck driver training program. I am looking forward to getting into a new career. I'm 31 years old and my hotel job only pays $10/hr and I am lucky if I get 40 hours a week.
    I think its very cool that you are driving your truck right where I live/have drove my shuttle van. Have you had to go to a Christopher Trucks for a repair? I might of picked you up, probably not.
