I can say so Much but there not enough room ,but see your tarp jobs ,and over all the cleaniness of your work just puts it in for appreciation for your effort in your work and shows how much u care for how your work is presented maybe more for yourself than others or the opposite either way words can describe what this means to a person like me
Enjoy your vacation! Love going to LV! I don't gamble but love seeing shows like Journey, Richard Marx, and The Oak Ridge Boys. If you have a chance, go over to Hoover Dam and stroll around. They actually have a gift shop on the Arizona side of Hoover that's pretty cool! Have fun! 😁
Vacation time = happy time. Enjoy the sights and sounds of Sin City. With all the Diesel $$ these days, will we see you back on the road? Thank you for taking us along with you and Bailey.
Oh WoW Dan And Bailey... You two did a great job explaining your weight...I was always kinda 😕 confused.....Super Dan and Bailey should be part time instructors for a truck driving school...You make things easy....Yep The national first Super instructor Bailey and Dan teams....Congratulations....Tell "AUNT KATY" HI WITH KELLY ,TERESA, AND BRITTANY....DAN WORKS WITH A SUPER TEAMS.. DONT CHANGE.....HAVE FUN TO LAS VEGAS 😒...HOPE YOU BRING US ALL ALONG......
You took that pipe to core and main…I work for them in texas…cool to see and that pipe stacked up will surprise you on what it takes to blow over …nerve seen it done….keep on trucking
Hello Dan My ride in Ontario Canada was a 5 axle tanker with the 2 front axles of the trailer that could lift and steerable. Allowed legal gross was 137,500. Computerized suspension system distributed weight evenly on trailer axles. Trailer lift axles could be lifted using lift axle switch and 4 way flasher switch while going forward (below 20 kmh) or reversing
being over-wieght always reminds of the time i was 3000 lbs over weight carrying totes of sugar and had to spend the night at the Calif scales and for a local company driver to come and remove 1 tote, then re-scale, then get to the reciever before i was "2 days" late. after that, no matter what i was carrying, i always scaled my load.
Truck and trailer looking good Dan , Bailey was trying to get a little bit of loving from you dad 😂😂 Have a great time on your vacation if I don't see a video Prior , be safe take care yourself DAN
"A long day": If a plumber has "A long day", he makes a "butt crack" full of money! Yep, that's a pun! If a trucker has "A long day" . 99% of the time he still only gets paid by the load or by the mile! Great video Dan, have a great vacation, leave the title to the house and truck at home...LOL!
Hello Dan, I would have to say this is one of my favourite posts, the music is perfect for the visual setting. well done sir, I live in Australia, and appreciate the beauty of your country through the windshield. love your dog, she is a great companion, Robert
Dan is good but try this young man on YT. ....... LittleBigTruck..... I like his "different" way of doing 'things'. Just a small owner operator that brings youtubers along for the ride.
Glad I don’t have those problem. Here in UK I’m allowed a gross of 44 ton. My axle weights allow 8,7 and 11.5 on the tractor, and 8,8,8 on the trailer, in theory 50.5 ton so overloading a axle is almost impossible even without a sliding fifth wheel or trailer bogie
Really liked this video -- particularly the Bloomington part. Also was surprised to see you turn left off of Liberty Drive going up the hill there where my doctor practices at Indiana University clinic. I am guessing you turned onto Liberty Drive off State Road 45 just off of Highway 37. The bank I retired from in 2013 was at the intersection of State Road 45 and Liberty Drive. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting....
Tips I've lost more freight from my lite weight Being to heavy than too lite. Know what your truck weighs empty full fuel and gear. I've got a scale on my daycab. I LOVE IT. 65 is 34000 lbs on my scale. Everyone is different. I pull containers so I'm heavy most all the time. My truck weighs 17,700 or so. I'm a trainer at work. I'm always telling the newbies about axle weights Bridge Weight the 3 types of tires. The good trainees say neat glad to know it. The ones that say why do I need to know that. Surprisingly don't work out.
Thanks Dan. Bad that you had to unload and reload to get the weight right. Do you check your gage while being loaded? Looks like that might help. Hope y’all have a great vacation. Blessings
Hello Dan and Bailey that is interesting and thank you for explaining about the guage I had no idea there was such a guage. I always thought you had to drive on a certified scale to determine weight thank you. You and Bailey have a safe trip and keep the videos rolling...
Dan is good but try this young man on YT. ....... LittleBigTruck..... I like his "different" way of doing 'things'. Just a small owner operator that brings youtubers along for the ride.
Hello Dan, good vid. my queston is this, I always used Rand McNally road atlas, Trucker Edition for traveling. They have far better mapping than garmen. How come drivers will use Garmen gps and not Rand McNally's gps. I have been using R.M. gps's for over 4 yrs now and never been given a route that was bad. I traveled out to De, then down to the keys and back up to I-10 , across the country and back up to Wa. Not one problem, mind you this is car v gps. My brother uses garmen, he drives rock and sand in Ga, and he has problems with wrong directions. I wanted to up date my gps and was told that they don't make new for cars and rv's any more but they just went to trucking. Have you ever used this one ?
Hey Dan. I too well know the extra frustration of re-balancing loads on flatbeds. I had a midway point marked on my trailer, too, but had an idea while watching your video. Do you think it would help to mark the "center of weight" placement on your Dorsey, to achieve your desired axle loads? (Love those weight gauges)
Hmmm, I have seen plenty 3 axle trailers…. I have seen plenty 3 axle drive, 3 axle trailers, but they are not that common here in the US. Reason is, - most loads you haul is less than 43,000 lbs. - there are a few dedicated freight that are heavy, but most loads don’t pay you by the pounds you haul. General rule of thumb is, heavier they are, cheaper the freight rate. For example, for the same distance to haul, a truck load of empty beer cans hauled to the brewery pays way better than a truck load of beer from the brewery. They pay you almost nothing to haul a truck load of beer. - the true heavy haul trucks like gooseneck RGN, they have more than 3 axles and they pay good but they are not that common. And I don’t think you were referring to those - to haul heavy and have your truck over 80,000 lbs, you have to pay for the permit. Who’d wanna do that when most freight you haul don’t pay by the pound.
12,500 - steer 34,000 - drive 40,000 - trailer 86,500 - total (how do you get away with the weight over 80,000 lbs without overweight permit) Can you really be over 80,000lbs (while axles within limits) and be legal without your weight permit ?
If the trailer didn’t have spread axels he would have to have 34000 lbs exactly on the drive axels and 34000 lbs exactly on the trailer axels 12000 exactly on steers to gross 80000 lbs ….. the spread axels 40000 lbs gives you some wiggle room … so he don’t hafts be exact
Dan, why have you chosen flatbed over dry van ? Are you making that much more money doing so ? Seems like an awful lot of extra work folding and throwing those tarps.
Dan, im a former flatbedder. How do you stay motivated? Is the pay that much better as an OO that its bearable? I was a company driver for three years and hated every minute of it. Thanks
I was a company driver with two different carriers, then leased on to a carrier that had their own load board, and now I run with my own authority. As far as pay goes for doing the same, lease operator would make between 3 to 5 times more than a company driver. And if you run with your own authority, you should make about 5 to 12 time more than a company driver. A guy with his own authority should pull in about 3 to 5 times more than a lease operator. These numbers are all based on my own experience, not what I heard from someone else.
Very new here, so just kind of wondering. You had to move the load further back so you werent over weight on your drives . But you could technically get a overweight permit to be that much over right? Obviously you wouldnt do that for a load you can just move but if you had to? If i worded that well enough.
Dan’s weight limit based on his set up, 12,500 steer 34,000 drive 40,000 trailer 86,500 = permit-able total If Dan wants to be over 80,000 while meeting those axle weight requirements, an overweight permit would be purchased. If he wants to violate the axle limit to get a weight permit… not sure how that would work out. I would think that is a safety thing.
@@jaeinnmoon3279 Perfect, that makes sense! Thank you. Now do you always have to have a permit to go over 80k in every state? I am in Washington and we can haul 105,500 axle permitting of course. Now If I have the required axles, 8 I believe. Could I haul upto 105,500 with out getting a permit?
I just lost a gig for trying to hold my dispatch and owner off convincing me my suspension gauge was probably wrong and to drive to a scale with the load as is which proved the overweight of 4000 lbs on my rear axels and drives maxed and subsequently left me unemployed for not continuing to be a useful idiot. If it was farther than 6 km I wouldn't have done even that.
Oh Bailey have you two ever looked into a Railway to truck Transloads Facilities in MERCER TRUCKING COMPANIES FACILITIES IN KENTUCKY....SINCE DIESAL FUEL IS SO HIGH AND BAILEY AND DAN LOVES THE SHORT HUALS. AND YOU LOADING TIMES BE HARDLY NOTHING...SINCE EACH BOX CARS CALL HAUL 4 .1/2 TRUCK LOADS
Another Great Video. Enjoyed, have a Great Vacation. Thank You !! H.
as a new flatbed driver in Canada I really enjoy your channel its helped me so much

Bailey Loves the Attention and Loves driving around all day with her Papa. Love our Furry Friends. 🙏👍
Sometimes, I think I miss driving, then I watch you roll tarps and I remember the pain…..lol
I can say so
Much but there not enough room ,but see your tarp jobs ,and over all the cleaniness of your work just puts it in for appreciation for your effort in your work and shows how much u care for how your work is presented maybe more for yourself than others or the opposite either way words can describe what this means to a person like me
Nice call on overload pipe
Bloomington, Indiana that is where is live!!
Safe travels. Enjoy Las Vegas on vacation. Give Bailey hugs & kisses & a scratch behind both ears.

The editing at 8:30 with the music was spectacular. So is your methodical procedures for your career. Total professional.
I paased you with that pipe load on tuesday in Illinois. Inthonknon 155, i was heading out to morton there.
Staying at the Pyramid??? lol Have a good vacation!
I hope you do a video from Vegas. That will be epic.
I loaded rack/shelving this morning in Cali headed to VA!! Hahaha. Safe travels..

"A long day":
If a plumber has "A long day", he makes a "butt crack" full of money! Yep, that's a pun!
If a trucker has "A long day" . 99% of the time he still only gets paid by the load or by the mile!
Great video Dan, have a great vacation, leave the title to the house and truck at home...LOL!
You got lucky not needing to tarp the racks and shelving! I’ve done that, I didn’t want the T-shirt!
Thanks for the ride Bud.
Stay Safe
Have a good location Dan.
Thanks for the video Dan. Have fun on your time off in Vegas!
Have a wonderful vacation, you deserve it!
4 g's over, Oh crap!!!😯
Hello Dan, I would have to say this is one of my favourite posts, the music is perfect for the visual setting. well done sir, I live in Australia, and appreciate the beauty of your country through the windshield. love your dog, she is a great companion, Robert

Thanks Dan
Nice holiday 🎉👍🏻🍻
Dan have you thought about motorized mirrors on your truck? I had them on my mack vision loved them on the blind side for backing.
Good thing you caught the overweight issue before you left.
Enjoy your vacation in Vegas, you've earned it...say hello to Nick Papagiorgio...lol
Welcome back my friend and be safe out there
Have fun in Las Vegas Dan.
Safe travels Dan
Great video Dan. Safe travels you two.
I met you on i65 yesterday in ky Thursday safe travels enjoy the vacation
U should do mercer highwide and heavy division they do pay very good and lots of exercise from what there drivers tell me
i hate being front heavy on split axles being heavy on drives sucks

Another good video Dan 👍 KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛 🇺🇲 👍
No gambling in LV Dan !!
Always great content!!

As a person who also has to deal with badly distributed weight; I feel ya.

Man i did not realize how much fuel you carry
what did you use to move all the pipe back?
Appreciate ya Dan. Thanks for the videos.
June 9th 2022 I'm guessing you're not doing any more videos anymore
hey two months ago you told us fuel is going down , how is that going ?
Who else thought he was eating too much? LOL
Dan
Hi 👋! How is Bailey doing Today and how is your New Floor a Coming in the Semi Truck?
AlWays killer music while looking out that Pete Long hood. Best trucking video on the Tube
How long do you stay out on the road 🤔.
Often you talk about fuel price. Some time could you explain the “fuel surcharge:?
Does one of the straps needs to be replaced? There seems to be the beginning of a tear.

@@jaeinnmoon3279 not true at all. Maybe in Jae Moons experiences but I run great with my set up

You need some those knee pads like Kamali uses
Made my knees hurt seeing you roll that tarp. Take it from an old guy, get some knee pads. (Or teach Bailey to roll it for you. 🦊😁)
Dan, why have you chosen flatbed over dry van ? Are you making that much more money doing so ? Seems like an awful lot of extra work folding and throwing those tarps.
I would have never guessed that pipe was that heavy, it is high pressure pipe thick wall but still that heavy?
Truckers steak pins will save your life. You will find out it someday. Some choked wood and some real nails with a hatchet hammer. Just for a backup.
IN TRUCKING NEVER LOOK FOR TROUBLE. you will love a good hatchet hammer.
Have fun in Lost Wages...
well Dan, like my grandpa used to say, some days you get the bear ,and other days the bear gets you.
Katie has a pretty voice what does she look like
What's the dial next to the drive weight gage?
Engine shut down timer.
Hi Dan, I reckon you need some knee pads while rolling the tarps or you may suffer later.
Just another reason to hate plastic pipe
