HAHAHAHA
@@HeyArnoldGotAFootballHead OH MY GOD THIS IS COMEDY GOLD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn this guy wears me out just watching he’s videos. Wish I had his energy. Somebody count how many times he get out of his truck.
Very seriously dangerous situation ,Could of been avoided?
In texas. Get in truck. Stay there triangles are out, your life is more important than triangles
🤣😂🤣
It was leg workout day 💪
@@donnaadams1765 hahaha I'm a road service technician in Texas, wish we could say that. I know all too well how people don't move over.
Lowkey sounds like he’s going crazy in that truck all alone. Lmao
Hahahaha
His mind is racing and he's thinking of an million things at one time. That's normal because truckers have to be able to pay attention to a lot of things at one time.
😂😂
I've been driving alone for almost 2 years. I take a 7 day break ever 6 months. And I work for swift. And I'm still sane. Kinda.
Shit if the right or the wrong people heard what most of us talk to ourselves out loud about you locked up in the loony bin
Put flashers on and stay in the cab. That's how drivers get killed out on the roadway.
he made sure there wasnt any cars before he left the truck
@@prod.VUKVSIN any car could come flying around and spin out and crush him
@@EazyTheRecon while that's true. He still looked even when he was out of the truck.
@@prod.VUKVSIN how fast do you think you can react to a truck/car flying down the road spinning out? Just because you are being safe doesn't mean everyone else is
@@EazyTheRecon lol OK I think he was fine
Lmao he’s losing air pressure for breaks and is out in the cold waiting for a while and all he’s worried about are his warning cones
His air pressure doesn't matter, your air pressure is only used to release the brakes. Otherwise the brakes are held on via springs.
Now that being said, on old trucks the air pressure used to actuate the brakes, and they suck ass
@@mfk12340 service brakes are operated by air, air to apply them, parking brakes uses air to release
He’s covering all his tracks like a professional should
On a modern air brake vehicle. Air pressure is required release the brakes by pushing the pads off the drum or disc whatever the case may be. When you apply the service brakes you are putting air pressure on the opposite direction which that in conjunction with the springs apply the brakes.
basically if you have no air pressure the vehicle is not moving as a fail safe or if you lose air pressure the vehicle will start to apply brakes automatically just because it won't have any pressure to keep the brakes released.

Proper safety measure
Make sure you keep your eyes on that oncoming traffic while you walking around or knocking ice off of your truck.
I dont want to

I saw a CFI down here in Florida the other day and I was like.... Dave!!!!
Only been to Florida once, to Jacksonville. We don’t usually do a whole lot of Florida running. Could have been a driver on his home time
@@RidingWithDave I drive for Werner, Jacksonville sucks ass
@@danielcryingheadkickcormie3857 Im from Jacksonville and I can agree. May port and all of the area sucks
@@danielcrawford5371 then shrimp tho lol
@@RidingWithDave I spot a CFI near Birmingham recently.
Dave i like your enthusiasm. Been out here since 1978. From a old timer to a green horn be safe and keep the shiny side up
Im not into trucking but shit man this guy is funny asf and im learning new things😂😂😂
Really enjoy your videos Dave. Fun to watch you learn and enjoy your chosen profession.
Drove for 7 yrs this job will test you I remember all my break downs
Dave you need some merch with the word “ROOKIE.” I would buy a hoodie. I feel as I get older that I’m more a rookie now than ever!
Dave, I can make those for you. Check your email. Subj:" RWD TEE SHIRTS" :-) Stay Safe.
Me as well.. I been driving 5 years and I feel like a rookie all over again
I’ve been doing this shit 25 years and feel like a rookie when it’s been a few years going to areas and they start changing the road up. Traffic circles,adding more lanes on exit ramps,and then they rebuild roads that really gets you lost.
Bro you need to precisely measure distance from "triangle" to "triangle" with a DOT approved laser measuring device that has been calibrated by Steve In Maryland from the DOT measuring device calibration CO. , and make sure he installs extra DOT high vis reflective weather strips with the extra flashing LED bulbs. No more and no less, you've been warned. Have a great day!
Can’t he just round?
@@butch5960 as long as the triangles are distance calibrated by Steve then sure
@@butch5960 Yeah.. as long as the rounded number is sent in and approved by the DOT with minimum 14 day waiting
I just use more triangles. Three triangles are not enough in my opinion to warn drivers in advance about a disabled vehicle. I think the truck should have triangles and flashing hazards visible about 1500 feet away to properly warn all motorists.
Its like just watching a mental breakdown
And the scary part is someone gave this guy a CDL.
@@pamike4873 damn 😂😂
@@pamike4873 Why is that scary exactly? He’s actually pretty good for being a rookie. Stop being a bitch.
You make me nervous as hell goin around the front of your truck not looking to make sure somebody’s not on the shoulder and turning your back to the highway be safe brother always watch your back from people texting and driving!
Craking me up... Buddy use the heavy blocks of ice to hold your" Cones" down.
I was thinking the same thing.
I am learning so much on watching your videos and I have yet to even drive a truck for any company had my CDL license for quite some time and I’m now ready to use it and boy I’m just glad that I ran into your channel because I’m just learning so much
On the triangles, make a few little sandbags and when you put them out the little sandbags will help keep them where you put them.
Oh, Thats a good Idea. Just carry 3 old socks and wait until youre in Arizona and grab some sand. I use one to dial in rifle shots as a shooting sock.
The triangles should simply be made heavier than they are, like 2kg.
@@ThoughtfulAl Agreed, weird they regulate this so much for placement and regulation for construction allows a flimsy piece of blow away doo doo. On the flip side of that, whatever you build is probably DOT approved if blow away doo doo flies. Unless they paid for the DOT approval stamp..
The tow guy souds like ron pratt
True.
100% does
cant wait to start getting my experience rolling. i know mistakes will happen but videos like these will not make you feel alone. awesome videos
Accurate descriptions of how trucking is for Rookies. We all gotta start somewhere and I love these videos. I also love how you try not to cuss and then here it comes out all polite and shit lmao. Keep up the good work!
Dave:
Yeah if you ever get out on foot, on any Road or Highway put on your Safety Vest: (EVERYTIME)
Turn on your Hazards,
Put out your Triangles.
Don't be between your truck and a Gaurd-rail. Get back in Truck
DON'T GET OUT
Make sure to clean the license plate also when you clean the trailer lights. I was pulled over by DOT because he said it was not clear enough to read. He must of been bored because he did a roadside inspection also lol.
Damn yeah I’ll do that
I never realized how satisfying it is to knock ice of a truck.
I got stuck in Wyoming during a snow storm. I know the feeling of people not moving over. 60+ mph winds are a lot of fun.
The most dangerous thing you can do, is keep getting out of the vehicle. Especially with wet/slick roads...STAY IN THE TRUCK!
Dude has to have add
Why ?
There wasn’t icy roads
Until dot comes and writes you a ticket for not having your triangles/flairs/cones out.
That's not exactly true. You don't want to get rear ended by a truck that wasn't watching ahead. It's generally advised in Europe to get out and get behind the guard rail or away from the road at least. If that's smart in the cold, is a second thing, but at you are the safest against collisions.
I saw someone from CFI pull off the exit by flying J in Sullivan Missouri, it was a red kenworth and I immediately thought of you. Keep it up man👍
Dave you're crazy make videos where there's no ice and you are my favorite UA-camr of all
That hotel was literally bigger than mine and my girlfriends first apartment lmao
It’s the fisheye effect from the GoPro it’s not that big
@@dotech4128 You don't understand how small our first apartment was my friend lol We're talking a 15 x 20 room with a bathroom man lol That hotel was most certainly bigger than mine my girlfriends first apartment lmao
Canadian tip to keep your bunk heater exaust clear from freezing up in the winter is to get a teenis ball cut a x with knife in it till it fits snugly on the exaust pipe. Just remember to remove it when your ready to fire up the heater. Just need some weights for those triangles and make sure your lights are clear. Please stay safe out there. In those types of road conditions the best place to be is the cab of your truck. When its like that it only takes a split second for someone to lose it. It important for everyone to make it home safely at the end day.
Yo I just wanna say I appreciate your videos I watch a lot of tractor trailer drivers & you have like the best overall content camera angles the whole nine yards. A lot of guys spend to much time talking face to face with the camera and not enuff time actually showing us some action. So I just wanna say appreciate the content keep up the good work very inspiring!
I appreciate you!
Holy crap, that hotel is insane! Almost looks like a whole damn apartment 😂
I gather from this you are a company driver if you ever go owner or get some fittings.saves lot of money and time.next thing is always walk on passenger side of truck,people don't care about hitting a trucker
Sorry it was cold in Montana. It’s always cold here. Can confirm as a Montana resident8:07
I like your use of trucker terminology. Blinky Blink lights is so much cooler than 4 ways. LMAO. Be safe.
He said "rub one out??"
Hell naw .
Lmao
Your company must love you . Good stuff your videos are hilarious
10' 50' 100' and last rendition of gradually going in is the correct way to place your triangles
It’s 10. 100. 200
Dave:I'm stuck on the side of the road
Therustycracker:First time?
I knew the voice sounded familiar! I remember the cycle videos
Gunna start trucking school! Came across your channel love your positive attitude! Hope to be as good as you haha very nerve wrecking truck driving. Stay safe Dave!
Recommend get your self a good coffee maker and take your time just ..... Relax..... Breath... Bro.... All you ....have too do is send a messg... To dispatch ... Call tow truck ..... And sit back and relax .... Watch a ....movie and wait chill ... Out ... Keep.. number of other driver call them up .... Stop getting in and out of your truck man ..... ReeeeeLaaaaaaxxxxxxeeeeeeeee man also carry a bucket with you just case you got too go
I like your energy
...... ...... ...... ......
That's right that's part of truckers life deal with breakdowns.
Placement of your triangles are on the lid of the box they come in. 10' then 90' behind that (witch would be 100' behind the truck) then 100' behind that. I've been out hear 22 years, we have ALL had our mishaps and had to learn things at sometime
Thank you for your video. Buy 3 10lb weights. You can use them to do curls while you’re driving and you can use them to anchor down your triangles when you’re broke down
An extroverted truck driver, man that's rare
Keeping my eye out for a RED KW with a CFI trailer for now on.
Sometimes this dude sounds like Patrick mahomes a little bit
He does lol
this was on my birthday when this video came out lmao im planning on being a trucker in my 20s but becoming a firefighter when i hit 18
You got some condensation in the tank, got cold in Texas, and when the excess air was dispatched, it froze the exit valve. They are automatic now days; In my day, one had to release it by hand by pulling a cable attached to it.
Sounded like Dave was talking to himself when he was talking to the mechanic, lol.
Everytime you stepped out of the truck you gave me anxiety. Jeez Dave
That’s truckin for ya, there’s those days but least the company takes care of ya out there.
I've been doing this shit 35 years I work local now I'm old and tired my hats off to you new drivers
Was it worth it ?
Hell no
@@beckybartos5597 what made it not worth it ? Was it the company or just trucking in general ?
im not a trucker but heres a tip for when you break down if you want to hold down your cones or whatever in the winter burry the feet in snow and it will hold them from sliding around
I literally came to this channel yesterday and now its all over my UA-cam
Get some floor mats/rugs at Walmart (kitchen and bath section). One for in front of the seats, and some for in front of the bunk. It will help keep all the slush from your feet under control. And they are super easy to clean.
I find watching you Dave really fun and I never get bored of you 😄
Popping off your air tanks when it's cold helps. Blows any water out that might freeze up.
Your "cone" / triangle game is on point FYI is they don't see the damn truck on the side of the road they have no business driving lol 🤣
I love how you treat your You Tube subscribers like we are right there with you, looking over your shoulder keeping you company. :-)
Dave: I'm bored
Also Dave: Beats the hell out of his truck with a rubber mallet
Good job Dave, you should win the best driver award.
Hey Dave, you should carry a small torch to thaw out things like your bunk exhausts. Just a thought. Stay Safe.
I think that is one of the great things CFI does for when your truck is in the shop they get you a hotel and pay you for breakdown. Had someone from orientation when I had worked there that became friends with, helped him get going on his own after he left his trainers truck, got put into breakdown situation (his trucks transmission was... toasted, one of the freightliners).. He got more a day then I did waiting 28hours for a load to become ready lol
The second arrangement of your “cones” look good. First 10 feet, second another 100 feet, third another 100 feet. Nice!
Sorry to hear of the air line break down here in TX. You must be up northern portion cause there's no snow down here in Hill Country. Hope you got your truck back on the road since this blog. Keep on Truckn Dow the road safely. ;))
There better be some “This is a bunch of Doo Doo” Merch soon. lol
That hotel room is so nice
Nice job with the Triangles Dave. Most truckers don't even bother to set them up. Huey Lewis said it's Hip to be Square but you proved it's Hip to be Triangle. CFI hooked you up with a nice crib. Don't take any spoons brother. Peace!
Keep a mini torch with you 🔥
What a bummer, Dave. I'm glad everything turned out ok. Stay safe:)
OG still here
lol voice crack came out of no where and like completely cracked me up for some reason. also I watched one of your old motovlogs on the counter steering and that was interesting. Love the vids man, you really brighten my day!
TIP: If you are ever close to gross and driving in the ice and snow the buildup of ice and snow adds weight to your tractor/trailer and could put you over on your axles as well.I would knock it off whenever i stopped.
I don't miss the bunk heater. I like my APU. In the winter I will set the temp 65. After my home time the truck will be warm when I get back to it.
Exactly ...and for those who don't know it an APU on most can be put in the econo. mode when on hometime which keeps a fridge, warmth as your saying and trickle charge to batteries if they get below voltage point. But they will never do this..lol
When you said doo doo all I can think of is donut operator
The first time he throws iron in a blizzard at 10° in a white out he'll really think he's got a DooDoo load. 🤣
Already had to before this video. Chain laws in Montana. And it was the worst blizzard since the summer of ‘86
Watch out for those swift drivers they don't have any common sense lol
My brother drives for swift he has common sense but it's swift itself that sucks everytime my brother gets back he tells me about how swift nearly kills him
I drove for Swift for 6 years. Was averaging $1,700 a week working 5 day weeks and did it sleeping in my own bed. I was on a dedicated Quaker Oats account, took my truck home every night, hauled bottled water so I knew exactly what I weighed, and made $20 drop/hook pay on a 100% drop and hook route. You can talk shit about Swift all you want, but remember one thing- every driver out there was new at one point. Common sense would tell you the company is doing something right, considering they're the biggest in the US and they can self-insure. If it was as bad as the pretend super truckers make it out to be, it would've gone out of business a long, long time ago. It's the largest privately owned transportation company in the world. There are no investors to buy stock to offset operating costs. You can find shitty drivers anywhere.
@@legion4076 Don't listen to the wanna be super truckers who love to talk shit and tell you "derp, my company is better because...reasons!". Even the super truckers who were born with a gearshift stuck up their ass were sitting in that seat with zero miles under their belt. 9 times out of 10 when a super trucker is bragging about himself and bashing other drivers or companies, they're nothing more than steering wheel holders or have never even sat in a truck.
11:53 Dave thats so satisfying
WD-40 works good for clearing snow out of your tail lights
“Get on the hub” 🤣😂🤣😭
15:04 That is the nicest hotel I have ever seen, holy shit. That kitchen is gorgeous!
14:24 when you paused after saying “with the truck”, and started panning.. I half thought you we’re going to say with the truck.. parked by the fridge
Just FYI, it does matter how far do you set the triangles, yo need to make sure they are DOT distance approved, if somebody crashes in the back of your truck and the triangles were not placed at the right distance is on you!
ice road truckers put alcohol in the lines i think it as, , keeps a valve from freezing or something in the lines, 50 is cold to me
It keeps the moisture from freezing up in your Airlines if you have any moisture in your air system.
Alcohol eats the lines don't not but it in anywhere
The struggles of being a truck driver
Dave quit lyin that ain't a hotel, thats a safe house! What did you do this time?! 😂😂
Nice hotel man, sucks having parts break. the hotel made it a bit better i hope. thanks for the entertainment!
You also have found an excellent tire thumper. Been using the same one for years.
Watching your truck get towed reminded me of when my 26 foot U-Haul wouldn't start so they got a semi wrecker out to take it, good times. Beautiful Peterbilt wrecker though so win-lose
Pull on your lanyard for your wet tank to release your water... replace the grommets on your glad hands... low air pressure can make your trailer brakes come on!
Its like solitary confinement but you get paid 🤣🤣🤣 and as for your voice cracking around 8 minutes lol u gotta thaw out them nuts too for them to drop🤣🤣🤣 and @13:38 you said get on the hub 🤣🤣🤣 im dead
You Need to Watch Ice Road Truckers and That's SUCH a Easy Fix You Have So Much to Learn Good Luck That is Such a Common thing that happens and So Easy to Fix
DO DO!!!! great video Dave I almost split my sides, you should go into comedy if this trucking thing doesn't work out.
You need to put some spikes or nails and a hammer in you kit to nail those triangles down then stay protected inside your cab before you get run over, stay safe Dave and always be awesome 😎
It’s just trucking Dave 🤣. Just hammer one out while you wait for service 🥳🤣. LOL
Damn Dave this is a 💩 disaster at least u can rest in a nice hotel love ur trucking videos it motivates me wanting be a great trucker myself
Here's an idea, get yaself acouple flood bags to help weigh down the triangles. G'day from Australia by the way. 🇦🇺
Messed up by getting in that slow ass truck😂🤣
If you have a decent inverter in your rig it's a good idea to keep an electric tea kettle in your truck to warm up water and use it to thaw out frozen stuff like that exhaust pipe for your diesel fired bunk heater
