Becca , one of your best videos to date. If I was a fleet owner you could drive any tractor you wanted hooked up to a step deck. Your attitude is like none other. You rise above it all. Your a great team player, and you can be counted on to get the job done. So glad you switched jobs. I know after you got a few loads under your belt, or should I say panties this new place, ART, will be very impressed with you. Way to go girl. Have a great and a beautiful safe day. Happy motoring and happy trails. Your a star in my book Becca.
Look Big Rig Becca, your always be the sunshine ☀ in my life! Without you I'm nothing, but with you I'm the whole thing. If I had a business, you'll run the show and you need to know that. But in the mean time, I'm incarcerated and have a journey ahead of me, and that journey is to get out to get next to you.
Until may God bless you continously for your future events.
Peace out.
@@mitchellmarbury8383 that’s pretty creepy dude
@@mitchellmarbury8383 very very creepy
WOW ! This needs to watched carefully , BECCA. Stay Safe
I give yall win. Sorry for appearing to be creepy. Just like enjoying praising, where I feel praising is worth the praises. She's my motivation, strength, and uplifting to my spirit
Just found this channel by chance, and I'm so impressed. Here we have a REAL young woman living her dream, with more determination and passion than most. Becca earns respect every day and a big thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Safe travels !
I notice in this particular trucking industry, drivers are always willing to help other drivers, helping with trap or strapping etc. Really good brother and sisterhood! A lot like bikers, that comradery of riding a motorcycle, fellow riders are always helpful and its sort of thing if you see a bike pulled over solo you should pull over and check if they are okay. Great content, congrats on the new company!
In my experience, most of the aluminum/steel coil shippers don’t allow metal edge protection. My company uses felt strips. I feel those work best because usually your felt strip will be long and wide enough to cover all of your chains. You end up using only two felt pieces rather than using 10-14 separate edge protectors. Good job on the coils, just wait until you have to tarp coils loaded eyes to the sky.
It's wonderful to see you and the pups on the road again!
Looked like you secured everything right for your first coil. One thing you gotta remember tho about unsecuring is it’s best to undo all the outside chains first and the center one last bc the coils can literally jump off the racks when you release the binders.
Good info! Was wondering if anyone was going to warn about this.
I would recommend getting more coil racks, for a coil like that you will need at least 4 coil racks
22:33 perfect timing, my good man. 👍 thank you! You have no reason to doubt yourself, Becca. You’ve got more grit & guts than most people can dream of.
Good to see you back out there I didn't expect you to still be pulling flatbed but your good at it and it obviously pays well or you wouldn't be working your butt off. Happy travels with the new company stay safe 🙏
Damn girl, you wrapped that coil like a boss! Nice job!
A little tip for the tarps if you’re going to stow it on the deck is to do your folding on the ground and before you roll it up, take an end and pull it on the trailer. So much easier that way. Used to work with a 5’4’ 95lb girl and she managed tarps that would fit over 28’ sea cans. A lot of the time it’s not about how strong you are but how well you use the strength you have.
Love how you bounced right back and so quick..dont take any crap!.you go girl!
Good job Becca! Great attitude and work ethic. Stay safe out here and keep up the great job you're doing.
Oh boy!! Let me just hurry up and send you a message on an international texting app so I can send money to some scammer in Africa... 😏
I have my own trucking company, and although I should have already got my CDL - I’m finally going to take the leap of faith. I have a flatbed company and I’ve been putting it off because I’m intimidated by it. BUT YOU! LITERALLY JUST PUT A FIRE UNDER MY TAIL! I feel much more confident that I can do it. Girl power! I knew I would pass because I’m a smart and determined person, but I’m going to work that flatbed. Okay! Shouts to you girl!
Hi becca really pleased to see ur back ur probably feeling better cause ur not stressed off ur other job I love ur dogs zeke is mint and benji is a sheep good luck xx
Be very careful about on-ramps and off-ramps. A coil load like that has a very high center of gravity. It will flip you upside-down in the ditch real easy if your to fast through the turns/bends.
Looks good!.. ❤good job❤ congratulations
What a great episode I’m a really big fan of your channel blessings and and prayers to you big rig Becca can’t wait to see your next episode
You did a great job securing and tarping the coil. Great video.
Glad to see BIG BECCA BACK. Bt best to see Zeke and Ben Ben!!!
Always been interested to see the ins and outs of the truck driving profession. Your videos provide great insight into the realities of life on the road as a company driver. Thank you and I wish you and your dogs the best!
Enjoyed the video and your energy! Definitely purchase the wipes found in the area for adults at Walmart. They work miracles when you can’t shower.
Good job young lady 👏 keep it up.
Beautiful Truck ! and nice job you did with that roll.
Hi Becca. Love your new truck. I'm glad you got a better job. Stay safe. Talk to you later.❤
I love this channel and ur vibes. ❤ Greetings from Norway.
2 coil racks for the first 10k lbs and 1 rack for each 10k lbs after. Coils get easier and 35k is a pretty good first one to haul. Good job!
When you fold your top hook one side to the trailer with bungees as tight as you can and then just go to the other side and pull it straight out. Saves you a lot of walking in circles
Been a minute good to see you again 💯 keep grinding girl.
As others have said, FMCSA requirement is one rack per 10k, racks need to be placed within the width of the coil, so that the weight is right on top. Tell the company to get you a 3 or even 4 piece lumber tarp with 8ft drops. That one is a 2 piece tarp, too big of pain in the ass. On coils always go extra on the chains. It's a cheap insurance policy on your butt. Overall great job, Beks! 👍🏻 see you on the road
Excellent information for you BECCA!
Extra on the chains always good advice. Just like the old adage"Better to have it and not need it than the other way around!
Hi 👋 Becca, it looks like to me that everything is working out well between you and ART. Hope to see more videos from you, I enjoyed this one here. Peace ☮️ over and out.
Thank u for showing what trucking is u really show your driving and all really nicely thank
U
Great to see you running. I’m actually excited to start my business next week mowing lawns.
hell yea
Great to see you up and running, and the puppers two!! nice new truck!! wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!!
Hi Becca and puppies what beautiful truck you just got lots work out glad you’re happy and as always you and puppies be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great job on the cool tarping , been flatbedding 37 years myself and couldn't have done any better , Safe Travels young Lady 👍👍👍👍
Wow. 37 years flat bed that must be millions of miles & you seem like a humble person , not a know it all
Great video Becca
Very good job looking good as you keep videos coming love watching your videos
So enjoy your can do attitude. I enjoy your just being real. I have some trucker friends and can't say they would haul some of what you have. And things don't always go well. Your new ride looks pretty good. And driving seems to have a proper amount of caution. Seems the pups enjoy there part time home. I hate to say it but "giter done Becca"
You are so cool girl! You definitely have spunk. I used to run me some flat bed loads. Its a lot of work but you got it under control! Good luck hun!!
A trucker from the UK here. I mainly haul steel coils on slidaflex trailer or euroliner curtainsided trailer which sit into a well. I hate carrying coils on a flatbed trailer as I've seen what it can do when it goes wrong. Only thing is, we strap coils with straps, not chains 😅. But the way we strap them, they go nowhere. Anyway, stay safe out there 😀
A great video, I really enjoyed it!
Good to see you up an running again Becca congratulations on your new company an beautiful rig love the color
Nice K W,be carefull.great content
Safe travels trucking Becca
I love your sweats, never saw pockets like that other than duty geAr
Big rig Becca is BACK!!!! Luv that new truck. Bring on the tacos babeee!
Good old Illinois road construction replacing a bridge in Dix, Illinois and replacing the northbound side of I-57. You are in my area. Safe travels.
Congratulations on the new job .
Hello my friend. I hope your having a great day.
Thanks the great vids. I used to drive long haul until the 2000s. Know all about the work strapping heavy hauls in all weathers. You gots to love the new trucks ! My gosh, even AC was a crazy luxury we dreamed about.
More power to you for looking how other driver secure thier steel. I have over 25 years hauling steel it takes skill and patience...Good job
Great video Becca. I'm a driver lic examiner for a state DOT. I'm seeing many Women coming in to earn CDL operator licenses. Some of the companies are ferventley recruiting Women. This is great!
Hi Becca love watching your videos one because you always have a smile on your face . I am like you i get nervous when i have new things to do in my work i came over it by just not bothering what other people think i was told just do your best . Please don’t let people put you down . Keep up the amazing work . Watching from the U.K.
That tarp job looks awesome 👏
Awesome first load!! You did a fantastic job on that load !!♥️
Another nice video! 👌
You may have never secured 35k steel coil, but you just secured another watch on this here video driver 💪💯. 10/10 would watch again 🎉🎉
Good job on your securement just a piece of advice would be to help you rolling your tarp is fold it in half before you roll it up to make it easier on you. Keep up the great work
anytime I hook up to these, i’m the dude driving up the freeway like a whole damn baby .. 55/60 all the way to its destination 🤣 things get named for a reason!
Thanks! Hey Becca this chris from Bakersfield ca . Good luck with all your endeavors I enjoy your videos and all that kick ass experience your getting . I'm a public works worker in kern county again stay safe out there old guys rule 10-4 .
Omg thanks so much Chris! I appreciate the donation it means a lot! Old guys do rock 10/4!! 😂 stay safe out here 🫶🏼
Good job on your first coil you where in the cool part of the plant l retired from there seven years ago stay safe
Thats actually a beautiful tarp job for someone whos never tarped one ive seen guys with years of exp do worse jobs so ill give it 8/10 job an awesome video an Hi Puppys 🐕
It’s awesome how you pronounce cities 😁🤘🏼. Yer laugh is the best 😎🤘🏼☀️
I loved doing stepdeck running suicide coils and tarped it and ran two strips over the tarp and the coil.. safety 1st..
Feel better & hope the new company you are working for is great for you .
3 hr dead head …… man big respect to the
AMERICAN HARDWORKING PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVERS. SALUTE
Hey big rig beca, congrats on your first load, super job proud of you hope this company works out good for you! Watchig from down by anthony tx nm. Stay safe!
New job, new truck that she hasn’t sorted, never hauled coils, keeping dogs safe and looking after what they need , recovering from strep throat, having antibiotic induced #2’s, in the hot weather, all without complaining and raging at other drivers as a bonus……you have to rest dirty because the shower is broken, BRB makes flatbed look easy….it is not a easy job at all
I think one coil rack is 10k Ib. And it’s good to round up. So you will need 4 racks.
Darn, good tarp job for the first 35k coil!😊
Great video and the 23:09 is awesome too!
Your truck looks amazing, lo e the blue.
Come on Becca! You gotta say the town names 😂😂😂.
Big rig becca hello frm New Zealand 🇳🇿 love watching your show .😊
BRB keep smiling girl. ❤
This brought back a memory. I unsecured a binder once while unloading a coil and I wasn't paying attention.. of course.. and it slammed open with the handle flipping out and hitting my knee lol. For whatever reason had to get up close to lever it open and bam lol. That pain was prob worst I've ever experienced. Just sat there for a few but had to finish and thankfully was going home just an hour away so had to just do it. My knee is hurting now thinking about it lol. Pay attention to where your limbs are!!!😂
You a bad ass driver😎👍🏻
Hey Becca this is probably too late. But you need to set your 4 by 4 and your coil racks before you go in that building. That way You are set up and ready to drop the coil in the coil. Rex. Also put. Your coil racks in the middle of your trailer. Your term syndrome is on the side of your trailer. They are usually the middle mark of your trailer
The looks Zeke give at times tho 😂😂 he cracks me up
You where so close to saying it right lol. Terre haute is my home city. Glad I moved from there. But. I love the videos keep them. O Ming.
Hi Becca . I'm Skippy from NJ. Thank you for doing what you do keeping our goods running. Glad you like the new rig. Those antibiotics are rough. My Dr has me on Cipro bc my white counts are high. I have crohns disease. How do you like the yellow red bull? I usually get the watermelon. I tried the new juneberry flavor it's pretty good. 😊 my stepfather was a trucker. Sorry for babling lol . Best of luck with the new company.
If you were my daughter I’d be proud as hell of you. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Nice truck your doin a great job proud of you woman
Be safe girl God bless you journey.🙏🙏
Becca Always put your coil racks in your four by fours in place b4 you go into loading area
I haul coils on B-trains I invested in coil tarps… best invention since the wheel. Definitely worth the money. Be safe out there young lady. By the way nice job tarping
Happy to see you running!
Omg!! Im so glad to see another video from you.I was just catching up on 3 older videos I hadn’t seen wondering how things were going for you and boom the notification went off (whoop whoop) lol!! Glad to hear you’re getting better from the strep and doing well. Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there.
Lol, I run on dunkins too. FYI, there was one not far from you at the loves in sikeston. Much respect to you for throwin chains. I'll stick to my hopper.
So you went to the truck stop on 59 and 70. I used to drive for a company out of Brazil and that used to be a nice truck stop but it really gone downhill same for Cloverdale truck stop if you are over there again go to the restaurant that is catty-corner right next to the gas station you can park there and it has really good food.
Been trucking OTR almost 32 years. Pulling 53' reefers just over 26 years. A few years into reefers, the company needed to expand faster than they could buy trailers. So the rented some. At the time, they could only rent 48s. Man, I had so much trouble backing the 48s. Never pulled flats or spread axles. Hats off to you.
Intresting. I've been thinking about going towards flatbed. I started out dry then doing reefers now for about a year. I love it. However, I dont know jack shit about load securement or flatbedding.
I heard about the split axle being harder to turn blah blah...dont know till you know.
@@rogerg0834 I do know, you can't make sharp turns. You risk popping a tire off its bead.
@Edward Antrobus Jr See, now that is what I heard. That is so weird. Cant you raise up one of the axles? Making it easier to turn? Otherwise how the hell do you park in a truck stop? Most of those place are freakn 90 degree backs.
Some trailers have a lift axle, some have sliding tandems like a dry van. Middle and back axle slide together equals "closed" pivot like a dry van at that point
Good job Lot better than my 1st try My tarp was all over the place lol
gota show off ur new truck…..if you haven’t already . iM catching up wit the vids !!! LOVE’EM!!!🤙🏾
When I can't get that shower, I carry plenty of wipes.
I love this flatbed side of the business. I've only been doing this a little over six months now.
I love your videos ❤
This is all I used to haul and loved it. You did great on tarping that coil 💯
Thank you! 🫶🏼
@@bigrigbecca Your welcome cutie 😁
Say the City! 😂I like the Country slang talk. 😊
Congratulations on 1dt delivery
Yay! Big rig back on the road!
Best regards from Indiana.
That KW looks awesome ! Nice rig Becca .
Simple logic and overdue securement your fine if you got that love the attitude
