Great video Dan! I drove out to Colorado for vacation a month ago. I stopped at North Platte to visit the worlds largest railroad staging/service yard. Union Pacific's "Bailey" Yard. It was quite a operation with a tall visitor tower/visitor center. I enjoy the driving segments you put in too!
I live 30 miles west of Sioux Falls SD. I’ve been watching step deck and flatbed videos since I owned my own 4 years ago. Your videos are kinda interesting
about the wallet, these days it be cheaper to figure out where one is going to be near a UPS store or FedEx/Kinkos and pay have them overnight it and pick it up there!
i always stopped at Grand Island, Neb. use to be semi-small then it got bigger. it was a great place to stop, lots of space, never seemed to get full. even spent weekends there, if i got loaded early, and delivery was on a Monday. enjoyed my time there and the staff was very friendly.
It was nice to see the rain on your windshield. Here in south central Florida we can’t seem to get rain. Thank You for all the positive travel stories. Be safe and God Bless !! H.
Mrs T had a good point. Seems like Katy keeping a little busy. ⛽ Mileage is pretty good. We all have made mistakes. WON'T be the first and for sure won't be the last. SAFE TRAVELS 🚛💨💨💨💨
There's something soothing to the soul in spending your days constantly looking towards the next horizon ... anticipating what might be over the next hill
Never used to use truck stops or motorway services to park here in the UK, they’re horrendously expensive and next to zero facilities. We always parked (when possible) at customers premises.
Glad to see you and Bailey are doing well and you got to spend a few days with Teresa. Happy fourth of July to you and the family. Safe travels and I'll see you on the next video!
North Platte nebraska I hauled mods outta Aurora Nebraska and stayed at Petro in york got that big ol steak and taters everytime best place to stay very well kept truck stop unlike most places
My boss did a swap in 80s between me and his son to see who got better fuel mileage in the same truck and I won and still got my load there on time only different from me and his son was I had three years more experience driving I learned my lesson earlier faster you go more fuel you burn
That little kubota should be about 1/3 of a gallon an hour just humming along not kicking up. If it's a 4 cylinder it would be more like a half gallon an hour.
Truck is looking good. I did the same thing back in 92 and had to go back only 190 miles. I'm guessing about everyone has had to go back at one time or another if they've been trucking for several years. Stay safe and take good care of the little one.
I drove a flatbed for about 15 years. About 12 years ago I picked up a load in Knoxville, TN going to Big Spring Texas. I arrive in Big Spring Texas and my customers address is wrong. There isn't a business by that name in Big Spring. I contacted our load planner and they had screwed up. My load was supposed to go to Big Spring,Nebraska, needless to say it had to be rescheduled. Be safe out there.
Hey Dan. Love your videos. Of all the yrs i had my CDL I loved hauling equipment the most. You are correct on what you call those machines but even closer they are crack sealers. When I worked for Kansas DOT we had one that looked almost identical to the orange ones to seal the cracks in the highway and then we would put a little sand on the tar. I really like your current truck. That sleeper is to die for. You and baily have a safe trip buddy.
I left mine in the backseat of a KY dot car didn't know until I was in TN the trip just kept getting crazier as my friend and I continued to LA . We still get a laugh about that situation and the week that followed. YOU HAD TO BE THEIR JR. IF YOU READ THIS LOVE YA BROTHER
Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘 I believe that is a M60 tank I drove one in Germany in 1970 and 1971 be safe and keep it between the ditches 👍
Another great video ST Dan. Very familiar with your last stop there in Grand Island-stayed at Motel 6 there on a couple of occasions next to Bosselman Travel Center.
Only yesterday I needed to make A change on my debit card, so I drove over to the bank to do that, and when I arrived, I reached for my wallet and realized that I had left it at home. I ended up making the Bat turn and going back after it. Luckily It was only about A 4-mile trip back, for me. Enjoyed your video.
My wife left her purse in a rest room in North Carolina, we drove about 75 miles before she noticed it was gone. Back we went, a nice lady had turned it in so everything was OK.
Dan, tell Katie you need a partial when the Denver drop comes off. As long as it's going in the general direction, it's extra revenue. Also, never be happy about your fuel mileage. Always be trying to improve. You've slowed down and you're holding 1400 and you've gone from 5 to 6.4. Now, run 1250, keep the turbo boast at 12 lbs, and watch the mileage go to 7. Not impossible for a 550 6NZ, and calculate the savings compared to 5 mpg. It will make you smile. Keep the deck loaded. Nice looking step that passed you, but what's his revenue per mile?
Good video Dan glad you were able to spend time at home also do you anti siphon device on your gas tanks I hear there’s a lot of truckers getting ripped off
I thought your story was going to be about leaving Theresa in at the truck stop like my dad did. he stopped to buy fuel mom got out to go inside dad paid assumed mom was in the bunk and left! Luckily he only went 20 miles down the road before he realized she wasn't with him
Always enjoy your content!! Question, do you do all of the maintenance on the truck. Like oil and filter as well as fuel filter changes? How about tuning the engine? Thanks for posting and safe travels.
Awe heck ya came through Raton Pass? or did ya come through Boise City Ok? Either way you were in Pueblo/COL Springs….That truckstop Commerce City always busy I-25/70 meet. I live about 25 miles from I-25 west of Pueblo. Nice step deck/truck passes ya at 12:40 of video. Safe travels….Would have liked to scene ya go by in Colorado… Be safe great fuel economy my friend……JB

That is such a cool place to visit. And I like trains so I was so happy to get there.
Guaranteed to see a train 🚂 there!
Just been there today. Brilliant!
THANKS DAN, TERESA, BAILEY AND KATIE
BE SAFE OUT THERE
Great story 'bout your wallet . I hope everything was still in it. Safe travels Dan and Bailey .
W we
Safe travels. Seeing Bailey always brings a smile to my face, I have two of my own. Give Bailey a hug, a smooch, & a scratch behind both ears.
Telling a story, shifting up through the 13, rain spattering on the window, scenery moving by, very enjoyable to watch. Thanks. Come to Canada.
Made the run from southern Minnesota to mesquite Nevada thru big springs from the late 90’s to 2013. Middle of nowhere.
Brilliant as ever you are ambassador to the trucking industry and the great scenery of your country
Keep them coming and stay safe out there 🌵🇬🇧👍
Been watching for years and still learning little trick from you...great vid, thanks for taking the time.
Great camera shots Dan that's a beautiful country
I always loved the deeper blue of the New Mexico sky. Must be that thinner atmosphere.
I live 30 miles west of Sioux Falls SD. I’ve been watching step deck and flatbed videos since I owned my own 4 years ago. Your videos are kinda interesting
Cool you where in Grand Island at the Bosslmans truck stop. Nice big truck stop.
Safe travels Driver Dan.
about the wallet, these days it be cheaper to figure out where one is going to be near a UPS store or FedEx/Kinkos
and pay have them overnight it and pick it up there!
Beautiful scenery Dan I like your attitude you are always calm and very professional
You were in Grand Island not North Platte. Safe travels!

You must be at Bosselmans Grand Island Ne. Any time I run west out of home in Wisconsin always stop there. Nice truck stop and always good service.
Nice shades, Hollywood! LoL. Hello Bailey

Grand Island NE, I recognized it by the tank, not a bad place really.
Stay safe.
Beautiful scenery out that way

Hello from Brisbane Australia. How are you Dan. I really enjoy watching your videos. Stay safe.
Hi from hamilton nz
Thanks Dan /Bailey for the Video.
Truck is looking good. I did the same thing back in 92 and had to go back only 190 miles. I'm guessing about everyone has had to go back at one time or another if they've been trucking for several years. Stay safe and take good care of the little one.
I love driving my semi 🚛 through Nebraska I am a o/o but I pul) a refrigerated trailer with a 2020 peterbilt
Scenery is beautiful and that sky is so big!! Stay safe Dan!
Thanks for the ride Dan.
Stay Safe
Glad you’re taking care of yourself. Ever little bit helps.
What a nice view looking out over that long hood !
I drove a flatbed for about 15 years. About 12 years ago I picked up a load in Knoxville, TN going to Big Spring Texas. I arrive in Big Spring Texas and my customers address is wrong.

No vid of Raton Pass? Beautiful drive. I love the Trinidad area.
Hey Dan. Love your videos. Of all the yrs i had my CDL I loved hauling equipment the most. You are correct on what you call those machines but even closer they are crack sealers. When I worked for Kansas DOT we had one that looked almost identical to the orange ones to seal the cracks in the highway and then we would put a little sand on the tar. I really like your current truck. That sleeper is to die for. You and baily have a safe trip buddy.
Hope you enjoyed my neck of the woods
I believe that was a Bosselman years ago and we had a sleeper team got killed just east of the Bosselman
Always enjoy coming along for the ride. Happy 4th of July!
Thanks for the video Dan, safe travels.
I left mine in the backseat of a KY dot car didn't know until I was in TN the trip just kept getting crazier as my friend and I continued to LA . We still get a laugh about that situation and the week that followed. YOU HAD TO BE THEIR JR. IF YOU READ THIS LOVE YA BROTHER
Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘 I believe that is a M60 tank I drove one in Germany in 1970 and 1971 be safe and keep it between the ditches 👍
You spent the night in Grand Island, NE.
I was there day after you guys. Great place,food, like old times. Love the videos.
You should consider lithium battery APU and charge them off the alternator on the truck while you drive.
dan its safe to park between the stockyards and pepsi in denver if you want to aviod that cluster
Dan, Thanks for your positive videos. D W
Dan that north Platt river I've passed that river at least 15 to 20 in Nebraska and it whines around on that interstate almost the entire state
I was in Big Springs on Sunday! Love that restaurant inside there! It's incredible! Thanks for the great content, sir 🙃
Dan, the truck is looking good. Keep up the good work.
Safe travels! Love the videos, and Bailey is as cute as ever.
Great video Dan...As Always, stay safe. and have a great day
Cool video Dan 🤙
Very Allie Knight effects in Colorado. Nice video.
Dan your not the only one who forgets things an has to go back to get what it was you left behind. Lol 😂
You should see if you can make to SiouthEasten Michigan to see the Selfridge Air Commander Strives and Missions over our entire area of Sky,!!!!!!!
Truck and trailer look great Dan. Happy Independence Day.
The steel fab shop I worked at in IA, before truck driving, fabed the steel for the roundtable at rr yard in North Platt, over 1 mil lbs of steel
Another great video ST Dan. Very familiar with your last stop there in Grand Island-stayed at Motel 6 there on a couple of occasions next to Bosselman Travel Center.
Well, if no one else will say it I will "Dan, what's in your wallet?"😁
You do a great job editing your videos

Saw you driving thru Sioux Falls yesterday.
Using the term "cluster" for that truckstop is being nice.
A rest area with an army tank? Well, yeah !!! What part of that does my wife not understand?
Alrighty then 👏👍🤛
My wife left her purse in a rest room in North Carolina, we drove about 75 miles before she noticed it was gone. Back we went, a nice lady had turned it in so everything was OK.
Grand Island Nebraska. Hwy 281 Tom Osborne Expressway.
GROOVY❤🇺🇸🐘
Dan. Dan...Where You Been Man..... :) :)
AND no tarpin this one😎
That's not bad, would equate to 8.8 UK gallons.
You're in trucking with Schmidts neighborhood.
Thanks Dan. Great fuel mileage for a 550 Cat. As you know, much of fuel mileage is in the driver’s foot 👍.I
Dan, tell Katie you need a partial when the Denver drop comes off. As long as it's going in the general direction, it's extra revenue. Also, never be happy about your fuel mileage.

Good video Dan glad you were able to spend time at home also do you anti siphon device on your gas tanks I hear there’s a lot of truckers getting ripped off
I always hated that TA in Denver. I would not pay them to stay there.
Yeah, i never stay around downtown Denver. place is a dump! stay outside of town and cruise in
Fuel cards are worth every mile lol even if you have too make more miles when you forget them :-)
I thought your story was going to be about leaving Theresa in at the truck stop like my dad did. he stopped to buy fuel mom got out to go inside dad paid assumed mom was in the bunk and left! Luckily he only went 20 miles down the road before he realized she wasn't with him
time to get back skateboarding when ur at the rest areas
You stopped in North Platte and you didn't stop at the Bailey railroad yards? How dare you? :-)

Didn't realize the dubbing was off as bad as it was.
👍
👍😉
Hey Dan I was wondering about how long you stay out at a time
And where do you get those high-dollar loads that pays for that fuel guzzling truck....lol
We're all in some place known as 'Earth'. 😏
Dan what do you use on your windshield the water not staying on it at all
