Hey Alex, can I apply outside US? Watching from Nairobi Kenya
Alex I saw you bro and blew the horn at you welcome to the south my stomping grounds I had a paper load I was in the green Kenworth! Keep safe my friend and keep up the videos.
I really enjoy when you turn off your hazard lights/turn signal. I understand why you use them but they are wicket loud
He uses and flashers when he don't he's addicted to him lol
Alex it goes Virginia, North Carolina where I'm based out of then South Carolina and Georgia where I have my second yard. Try going from Virginia to Georgia with a 40,000 pound paper load and yes Jake is your best friend on that buddy.
Alex videos summarized
“Click click click click click”
“Where’s this guy going?”
“I don’t know if I can make this turn”
“I need to slide my tandems”
But it's so damn entertaining lol I can't stop watching
@@jimmypappas9780 too entertaining 😂
You mean slide my Trailer Tires! 😂
10:05 That does not look easy! You truckers have a special skill!!
He’s far from being skilled
that was millimeter work
@@DJExcal stick to being a “dj”🤦♂️
@@DirectorOfFUN1 ? It was a compliment, a typical Dutch saying !
So driving 55 in Atlanta is more dangerous than Merging onto any highway at 22-25mph?? U need to remember on ramps are made for people to accelerate to highway or near highway speeds!!!!
Why you got them damn flashers on are you going slower than 50 miles an hour? I think you might be addicted to your flashers hahahaha
7:37 the good thing about automatic transmissions is you don’t have to panic if you can’t down shift.
5:45 Alex that is one of the most beautiful parts of VA. Us locals call that Fancy Gap Mountain, and it’s one of my favorite drives. Be careful through there if it’s ever foggy. You might trust yourself but don’t ever trust any other drivers! Be safe and God bless!!
That click click click click is like water torture 😂
I mean… it is a trucking vlog lol
I don't know why he has the hazards on I don't see any hazard
Your not kidding about driving in Atlanta GA, no matter the time or night it's crazy.
literally, i always have to leave out extra early or else i won’t make it in time
I almost died on this grade due to being young and invincible(Reckless)
I had gotten a new car, a 5-speed, and didn't brake the entire way down this grade.
By the time I knew it, I was going 115mph+
and I saw a sign that said, "There may be stopped cars ahead." there was.
My tires smoked, and by the time I got to my destination in NC, my tires were down to the wire, and my clutch was gone.
After that day, I've been driving like you Alex, Like an old person :p
Good job Alex. I saw you backing up. Even if your angle is too shallow you can pull up from the hole and turn sharp left and pull up then back into yourself and you will have less of a shallow angle. It will be more straight. Also when you set up. You can turn at one spot instead of 2 when you have more space.
Truck is moving, Alex has the hazards on.
100% confirm that drivers in ATL don't know how to drive. I gotta deal with these fools on my commute daily.
I-285 is a living hell 😂
Stop leaving your doors open, and don't over think.
30 minuties is not a lunch break it is mandatory DOT break require
5:45 Alex if South Carolina is below Virginia, then where is North Carolina? 🤔😂
I think he hates NC 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said he think he in Virginia or he in South Carolina😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he was on I-77 in fancy gap, va!
The only thing worse than driving through Atlanta is trying to catch a connecting flight in Atlanta. It has always been thus.
Or not get into a fight with tsa. They act like thugs from the projects
@@kazithecanecorso2724They do for real😂 I'm from ATL and got the hell out as soon as I could bc I kept getting in trouble. If you enjoy your freedom stay away bc you will be fighting over dumb shit almost everywhere you go in that city. The whole city thinks they're on a prison yard
Alex, you are good at backing into the docks! 😊 Could you please do more Off-the-clock videos? Like when you first get up in the morning? 😊
Amazing? You have a weird definition of amazing
Yeah dude take forever lol. But that's what makes his channel entertaining to watch. Alex is just a likeable dude
Did your trainer ever teach you get out and look when "Blindside Backing".
Alex please dont stop what you doing, i really love your trucking videos .kudos. keep it up.
You must love the sound of signals all you videos have signal sounds or air brakes sounds
Hey Alex! I can't be 100% sure but I think your load from home depo was liquidation / returns. The orange tags on the power tools are usually put on there before they are sent out. Also the large cardboard box to the left was like filled with smaller items as well. Great video my guy! Lots of love from Toronto, Canada
LOL !! Welcome to Atlanta, GA.. On I 285 there is always a ladder, mattress, abandoned vehicle or an apartment fire everyday.. Glad you made it thru I 285.
The speed limit down fancy is 65
judt hit a bong rip..tacô bell otw
You were in my neck of the woods. I live in GA an hour west of downtown Atlanta and I do my best to always avoid driving in Atlanta. Crazy drivers everywhere in the ATL.
Living in ATL the last decade, drivers are TERRIBLE and I’m originally from NYC.
Hi Alex! Love your videos man. Thanks for sharing. North Carolina is past the southern border of Virginia. And I've driven what looks like that exact road and I know what you mean about the beauty overlooking the mountains. Looking down into the Southern Virgina valley on a sun-shiny morning was one of the most beautiful sights I have still ever seen. I lived out in central NC for awhile really nice nature there.
I know EXACTLY where you are and it's absolutely GORGEOUS there. I drive there often heading down to MC, SC, GA and beyond.
The 'yellow post' is called a bollard. Happy trucking!
Love watching these vids
TooooooMuch blinker clicking!!
Dipstick, the temp gauge you are looking at has nothing to do with brake temps, it’s the temperature of the oil in your drive axles.🤦♂️
Why does he have the hazards on while on the highway? I literally see no reason for it
For the simple reason that he is driving less than the posted speed. It’s to keep himself as well as other aware. Once he gets to speed, they come off.
Nice baking Alex! It did not look easy at all!!!
“We’re very light” and still merging to the freeway at 30 mph. 🙄🙄🙄
Alex. Hammer down what ever that Auto has.Merging is a major thing. Never slow down to look at traffic. Ride the shoulder if you need. Entering a highway at 40mph causes major accidents.
It a major problem I’ve mentioned it a few times on other videos
That’s Fancy Gap on 77. North Carolina, Virginia border.
That’s one fantastic route! Beautiful. I’ve driven around there myself quite a bit, but in a regular car lol, not in a semi truck (i’m European).
Keep up the work
We love your videos in GA! My son watches all the time.
I liked it when also included your meals in your videos. Please do include them
I live in Atlanta. We slowed down so much in construction zones because the cops don’t play and will give you a ticket for going five miles over. Lol
Love the real life videos Alex
Fancy Gap homie. Easy mountain to go down and beautiful the whole way.
I love the freight-liner cascadia!
It's the color, marlin blue. Looks great.
You have never driven a Peterbuilt.🤣🤣🤣
@@miltonmoore1690 I have in American Truck Simulator!
Take your time bro, holy cow, I would lose my mind if I ever got stuck behind you somewhere
i just sit here and shake my head as i watch these videos lol im like geez dude would you hurry up a little! :))
Watch or don't watch, simple as that
@@silverhawk24 really? Hmm yeah guess your right...I'd rather just watch and talk shit in comments cause everyone knows I'm right
@@nickbeckham14😂😅
@@nickbeckham14 ight then
Cruise control going downhill works awesome set the speed at 5 miles below your desired speed
25:15 Garmin has a mind of its own.
I don't know about your automatic... But usually if you bump that cruise control down like 5mph below your target speed down a hill with the Jake's on, it will kick on the Jake's for you and gear down accordingly. Keeping you at your target speed.
In a manual however fast I came up the hill is how fast I need to go down the hill if I don't want to smoke my brakes when fully loaded. 😂
It has to be set up that way. But when it is it works very well.
When I used cruise control, it would never kick on the Jake automatically, I had to flip in on myself. That said, the Jake in my Cascadia was a beast.
@@Commy01 you have to have the switch flipped for it to work but it won't just come on unless you get about five miles over your set speed. It's part of the adaptive cruise. When it's set right you don't have to tap your brakes to get the Jake's to engage going down hill. It just knows your going over your set speed and does it. Then you can just adjust between the high, medium, an low settings. Usually all on the steering wheel or part of the shift selector on the column.
You can also use manual mode to achieve a similar process.
Both save the hell out of your brakes.
I started out on and currently drive a manual 10 speed... So I found out how to do it by accident when I was driving the automatic because I was driving it in manual mode in the hills most of the time. Then a driver who was more proficient with them told me how to catch the RPMS and maintain torque with the cruise on by setting it below your desired highway speed which would cause it to shift sooner when you got the bottom or when you were coming down and that's when I found out the Jake's worked like that in cruise mode coming down.
Talk about maximum easy mode. 😂
@@Commy01 the only time the Jake's will work when their not turned on is if the radar goes off with a collision warning. Don't even get me started on that damn thing.
Love your work Alex! Keep going man, at one point I was honestly considering getting into trucking, but I decided to look into something else. Ignore the haters, keep doing your thing
😂🤦
@@jacobravenwood7968 what's up?
@silverhawk23 Nothing important, just Chuckling and Shaking my head so to speak at the predicdability And never changing Comments section here on UA-cam on every channel, it's always the same. LOL
@jacobravenwood7968 well you're not wrong! Just trying to show some love for this dude because there are some assholes here who just fucking talk shit about this dude for doing his job
@silverhawk23 lol Agree completely, my comment wasn't specifically focused at you. It was just a generalization of the entire comments section Here on UA-cam. I've often tried to figure out why some UA-cam channels seem to have more assholes than others. And every once in a while, there's the rare channel where there is no assholes But I guess it's something we're not meant to know.
When Alex pulled up in that truck saw two of his old companies variant and cfi
Good morning my brother great to see you and a new video be safe much love
That tick-tock from the emergency blinker would drive me nuts. Why do you ride with it on ? The other trucks didn’t
Hello Alex, I’m a new listener and subscriber from Wyoming. Love the ride alongs and the awesome vibes in your streams.Pleasure to meet you!❤️
"Keep the wheel straight, Alex."
*Turns the wheel while saying it*
I was in Georgia just last week
Yep. Welcome to Atlanta 😅
He has the best trucking videos
Him and Riding with Dave .. My Faves 👊✌️
Check out Super Trucker Dan he’s been at it 27+ years. Drives a Pete as an O/O skate board
Riding with Jay, riding with Dave and the joy of trucking are really good too
Uhm no. You don’t watch much UA-cam clearly.
@@DirectorOfFUN1 30 minutes of blinker sounds, backing up and grumbling 🤣
Great content
I’ve done a route like this before it was from Georgia to Wisconsin it was about 12hours
I enjoy every dull moment and you make it very entertaining. grtz From The Netherlands.
I bet that hill country is very beautiful
Wow, almost a million subs!!
you have a switch for the lane sensor
Nice Video
Welcome to my hometown Alex 😁
No way, I think I saw your truck @ that loves in Blacksburg, SC!!
I say good morning just like yiu do in these videos 😂
I would rather sleep by a reefer than someone with a useless forklift beeper going off everytime ya back up
Doing 56mph down highway with hazards on?
😂
He read all of the comments about his use of hazards and has chosen violence
@@Commy01 it can be confusing for others on the road and cause an accident
@@jimmyjohnson1452did you know you're supposed to put hazards on when below the speed limit especially going downhill?? Maybe pay attention
@truckercowboyed2638 yea,that's minimum speed (not limit)which is 45mph.
Good job at the truck stop backing in against the grain I wouldn’t have done it with that tail swing 👍
Truck next to you beside driver window Buddy Moore Trucking based here in Birmingham Al.
fancy gap
Nobody needs yo pay your showers!
And stop parking 10 minutes, when it can be finished for 3 minutes.
7 trucks waiting for your experiments, which are not adequate.
❤
you're hauling beer and an elephant
Takes a few seconds to get the Titanic to start turning away from the iceberg 😊😊😊
Can you please tell us what truck navigation do you use? Thnx
W
If you drive through Omaha, Nebraska, please be extra careful because there are drivers that will cut off or street race other vehicles. My family and I almost got sideswiped on the highway by five vehicles that were street racing each other well over 100mph. This happened a couple days ago when my family and I were on vacation in Omaha. Drive safe out there Alex! I also noticed that you were hauling some Milwaukee brand power tools. I'm from Wisconsin, and those are the best power tools you will find on the market. Keep up the great work on the videos! Lots of love from Wisconsin! God bless you!
When I first start driving it will take me a hour to back up as well.
ditch the garmin bro
Your truck and trailer has disbreaks, not drums. They won't fade going down the mountain.
Set up a 360 camera on passenger seat so we also could experience trucking just like you :)
Truckers drive a bit slower than the regular flow and they use hazards to indicate that they are there so everyone could see them from far away
I believe i passed you yesterday 9/16 on I80 Eastbound in the Stroudsburg area
❤🧡
The worst drivers I have dealt with is about hour from Atlanta in all directions
Good job bro that is my dream job. I am from Africa, kenya 🇰🇪
I think it's different in Kenya. There's a video called "Deadliest Road in Kenya." I'm sure it's just that one road though.
turn on your truck jake brake going down steep mountain
G.O.A.L
Garmin is trying to tell you how to backup.
Why have hazards on when jake breaking down hill? Is this the usual in usa?
No lol
I have lived in Georgia all my life so at this point I’m practically immune to the local people’s sh*tty driving.
Kermit the Frog is and you sound like him
How tf do you drive without knowing what you’re hauling? 😂
