Shelby, even us Veterans love your channel and especially your positive attitude. It is very refreshing. We know it’s tough parking doubles but thank you so much for not parking in the fuel lanes when you are not fueling. There are to many lazy drivers that cannot walk a little further even when they need to.

On Tuesday there was a funeral for a fallen Police Woman in my area. Going between the place where the funeral was held and the cemetery there was a several miles long possession of vehicles. When the possession entered the interstate immediately trucks on the other side began pulling off the roadway with many actually getting out and standing facing the possession. What was really nice was when the trucks decided to block all 3 lanes to force the rude people continuing to pass by at 70 mph to stop and show respect to the fallen hero. A big shoutout to the truckers for their show of respect!!!
I'm sure you meant procession. Some people have no class at all when it comes to respecting others, especially a fallen police officer. Shame on all of them and good on the truckers blocking the way for the rudeness. Cheers

Love your videos. On your videos you often say “for new drivers” or if you’re looking to get into trucking. I think you should do a driving video for 9 hours to give people what it’s like to drive 10+ hours a day and see what OTR trucking is all about. I think some people don’t realize the daily grind of driving for all those hours.

The biggest grind for me and many others are not the miles, but being away from home. Being away from family and friends for 3-4 weeks at a time is hard and is not for everyone. I’ve never been one to get homesick before trucking but it hits you different out here.
Driving for 10-15 hours a day for 11 1/2 months and being homesick was tough , back in 2003 . Actually two of my Grandfathers died while I was OTR . Also big city traffic was nerve racking .
I was in Colombian armed forces for 6 years and for security reasons I had to move to America, now build cranes and do schooling on the side but Shelby you've inspired me to look into trucking.

What you went through is the part I hated in my truck driving career. But it was part of it and you grin and bare it and muscle through the BS and learn from it. I am so glad you didn't get too discouraged and you made it through the day. I am enjoying the videos. Keep up the good work !

See that's problem with big companies the right hand don't know what left hand is doing and if u can't call someone about an issue then u need to stop working their ASAP
Hey Shelby - the wind is ALWAYS blowing in Wyoming! In fact, I once heard of a driver who, after going from Wyoming into Montana, stepped out of his truck and fell down because he was leaning into a wind that wasn't there! Be careful out there and stay safe. Love you much! 💖💖💖

@@bmacd2112 I was the 48th driver to enter Iraq in 2003 hauling JP8, Never hauled fuel before. I was told the day before to go outside the base to fill up my tank at the fuel farm. I broke down right outside the gate. So recovery came told me they will take care of everything and go get some sleep. Next morning came, I looked at my fuel gauge and it was full. So we rolled into Iraq and low behold, I hook my static line, I hook up my fuel hose, climb up on top of the tank and it was empty. So therefore my handle was Emptywagon. They told me I am lucky, because just the previous week a guy hauled water to a fuel farm. His handle was made then. haha!!!

Texting back and forth with line haul is very frustrating. We're starting to use a new app for dispatching today in California. I also had my dolly removed from behind my truck. Love the Fed Ex videos.
Looks like a very enjoyable couple of days to me. Just resting at a nice truck stop, eating good road food, and reading books on my phone... I could be happy with that.

If you have room for it, get yourself a mini electric RV 12 volt fridge like an ARB or dometic, then you can keep things cool easily. They're pricey but work amazing. Coleman even makes a 12 volt cooler that is on the cheaper side but not as good.
Around minute 27:00 I love that you brought up the miscommunication because you were probably being really logical as you executed your actions! I find it really helpful how you did communicate (I often don't) and how that happened. Also, I like it when people hold themselves accountable... only because people that hold themselves accountable ( I hope!!
The company that I have been with for the last 21yrs, I didn't communicate with them much, got my loads across the Qcomm, rarely called them for much, had an alternator crap out in the middle of nowhere ID in the wee hours of the morning, limped it a few hundred miles into the TA in Toolee UT, got it taken care of under warranty and continued on. Another time headed east across WY,Sherman hill was closed, so, once again, didn't contact dispatch, rerouted thru Casper to the TA in Ogallala NE to hook back up with I-80, when dispatch came in they wanted to know how I had gotten past the 20 other company trucks that were shutdown in Laramie........told her and her response was 'you can do that'?????...... DISPATCHERS.........
One thing I have learnt from driving for over a year is, if something seems off, it's probably off lol. I always message my boss or whoever's in charge. Just to give them an update, also as a double check in case I made a mistake. Keeping messages is also a good way to keep a record. Never know when you gonna need it. Love your videos! Drive safe!
Very true, but the other thing I've learned in this business is that if something is not off a bit, you spend a lot of time waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop.
Within my first few months of driving I did something similar. I was in Texas and was told to get an empty about 80 miles out, turn around and backtrack to load because the place I was at didn’t have any empty’s. I did the 160 mile round trip with the trailer I was told to get, and when I made it back the guard doing the trl inspection asked me why I had four pallets of tiles in the nose. Long story short I had to do the 160 mile round trip AGAIN to get an ACTUAL empty, and had to wait out the weekend since I missed my original Friday appointment. They tried to take the excess miles out of my pay but I fought it considering the company told me the load was a drop hook when it wasn’t, and had me pick up a trailer with stuff already on it by accident..

Thank you for explaining why you left your truck at the 7-Eleven fuel island while you went to get food. I was thinking that was really inconsiderate and I know you are not an inconsiderate person so I was a little confused. Thanks for clearing that up! And thanks for another great video!
I still love seeing your VLOGS even when you don't think you have anything to say. By the way it is really cute to see your feet barely reaching the pedals. Hopefully someday we will cross paths at the fuels pumps. We tow an RV and I know some truckers don't like RVers, but being a trucker was a bucket list item that never got done. The best I can do now is RV (with a tag along) and admire and respect our American Hero Truckers.

Im a contractor for FedEx Ground out of 644 kcmo. I had that happened to me as well with driving from Orlando Florida to Atl Georgia. But it wasn’t my fault. It was on dispatch
Your a strong hard working woman. You will have good land and are working to be very profitable i appreciate you and sure alot of men and women alike respect your endurance 👏
Look on the bright side, another opportunity to perfect coupling and uncoupling techniques, dealing with windy conditions running empty maybe too, doubt you can ever be annoying or boring either Shelby. Vids are always good, nice to learn something new, and to check in and see what you are up to, and how your doing, and that all is well with you all. That sunrise was cool too, thanks for sharing it. Have a great one, stay safe out there!
Know how you feel. I took a load from the ups regional hub in Salt lake to the old ups building that is off of the 201 and redwood, just to find out they had me take the completely wrong trailer. The trailer I took was a new jersey load. So had to go back and get the right one. Thankfully it was a 10 min drive back to the hub. Classic UPS.

The biggest grind for me and many others are not the miles, but being away from home. Being away from family and friends for 3-4 weeks at a time is hard and is not for everyone. I’ve never been one to get homesick before trucking but it hits you different out here.
Driving for 10-15 hours a day for 11 1/2 months and being homesick was tough , back in 2003 . Actually two of my Grandfathers died while I was OTR . Also big city traffic was nerve racking .
Love the video. It was a stream of trucking consciousness. Even the hair wasn't that bad. Thanks for all your hard work. BTW. Dakota is the cutest!.
You're never boring Shelby. Always fun to watch your videos :)
I was in Colombian armed forces for 6 years and for security reasons I had to move to America, now build cranes and do schooling on the side but Shelby you've inspired me to look into trucking.

Everyday we learn what we want to learn and on the flipside, we learn what we don't want to learn! Life is always going to give you problems, then when you figure them out or not, you will create more problems. Love what you do, so that you enjoy the problems you have. I always admire and enjoy your video's of your daily trucking life! You are a bright shinny light. 👍😃

This video isn't boring, it just feels so sad with that music! But kinda peaceful. Still, it's good to show the Real "a day in the job" sometimes.

What you went through is the part I hated in my truck driving career. But it was part of it and you grin and bare it and muscle through the BS and learn from it. I am so glad you didn't get too discouraged and you made it through the day. I am enjoying the videos. Keep up the good work !

Hey Shelby - the wind is ALWAYS blowing in Wyoming! In fact, I once heard of a driver who, after going from Wyoming into Montana, stepped out of his truck and fell down because he was leaning into a wind that wasn't there! Be careful out there and stay safe. Love you much! 💖💖💖
This is the reason, I received my handle ( Emptywagon) in 2003
So were you hauling Dispatcher Brains or Sailboat Fuel?

@@bmacd2112 I was the 48th driver to enter Iraq in 2003 hauling JP8, Never hauled fuel before. I was told the day before to go outside the base to fill up my tank at the fuel farm. I broke down right outside the gate. So recovery came told me they will take care of everything and go get some sleep. Next morning came, I looked at my fuel gauge and it was full. So we rolled into Iraq and low behold, I hook my static line, I hook up my fuel hose, climb up on top of the tank and it was empty. So therefore my handle was Emptywagon. They told me I am lucky, because just the previous week a guy hauled water to a fuel farm. His handle was made then. haha!!!
@@talismankreationen6678 NICE!!! Yep, the military is good for nicknames. I was on Navy Submarines and my nickname was Yosemite Sam. It may or may not have had something to do with my temper. LOL

That’s what I miss most about being on the road. Those sun rises that peak over the mountains or the sun sunrises across the Great Lakes. I’m a bit jealous.

There is just something about the silhouetted buildings and landscapes 😍 during a sunrise or sunset.
Now that's funny. Your feet are not even on the floor, but one foot floating on the gas. 🤣🤣 🌞
I laughed when I saw that.
I'm 5 2 myself so my one foot isn't on the floor either. Lol
Exactly how I drive mine too. Short people issues.
Lol 5'0 and tippy toe on the floor and barely getting that throttle pressed. If I lower the seat, I can't see out. 😂
Texting back and forth with line haul is very frustrating. We're starting to use a new app for dispatching today in California. I also had my dolly removed from behind my truck. Love the Fed Ex videos.
3:37 Guy driving by with the dolly he stole from you, lol
Lmaooo the comedic timing couldn’t have been any better
Looks like a very enjoyable couple of days to me. Just resting at a nice truck stop, eating good road food, and reading books on my phone... I could be happy with that.
Love these vlogs Shelby. Didn’t even feel like 28 minutes.

If you have room for it, get yourself a mini electric RV 12 volt fridge like an ARB or dometic, then you can keep things cool easily. They're pricey but work amazing. Coleman even makes a 12 volt cooler that is on the cheaper side but not as good.
That is awesome you were in Firestone! Im from Colorado kinda cool so see some vlogs to show off how beautiful it is here!
Around minute 27:00 I love that you brought up the miscommunication because you were probably being really logical as you executed your actions! I find it really helpful how you did communicate (I often don't) and how that happened.
Also, I like it when people hold themselves accountable... only because people that hold themselves accountable ( I hope!!
The company that I have been with for the last 21yrs, I didn't communicate with them much, got my loads across the Qcomm, rarely called them for much, had an alternator crap out in the middle of nowhere ID in the wee hours of the morning, limped it a few hundred miles into the TA in Toolee UT, got it taken care of under warranty and continued on.
Another time headed east across WY,Sherman hill was closed, so, once again, didn't contact dispatch, rerouted thru Casper to the TA in Ogallala NE to hook back up with I-80, when dispatch came in they wanted to know how I had gotten past the 20 other company trucks that were shutdown in Laramie........told her and her response was 'you can do that'?????......
DISPATCHERS.........
I watch to learn more about trucking. My husband is a truck driver. He started right before the pandemic started
One thing I have learnt from driving for over a year is, if something seems off, it's probably off lol. I always message my boss or whoever's in charge. Just to give them an update, also as a double check in case I made a mistake. Keeping messages is also a good way to keep a record. Never know when you gonna need it.
Love your videos! Drive safe!
Very true, but the other thing I've learned in this business is that if something is not off a bit, you spend a lot of time waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop.
Love the vlog girl, keep it up. I hate those super early mornings too. Keep strong and think of the good stuff
Within my first few months of driving I did something similar. I was in Texas and was told to get an empty about 80 miles out, turn around and backtrack to load because the place I was at didn’t have any empty’s. I did the 160 mile round trip with the trailer I was told to get, and when I made it back the guard doing the trl inspection asked me why I had four pallets of tiles in the nose. Long story short I had to do the 160 mile round trip AGAIN to get an ACTUAL empty, and had to wait out the weekend since I missed my original Friday appointment. They tried to take the excess miles out of my pay but I fought it considering the company told me the load was a drop hook when it wasn’t, and had me pick up a trailer with stuff already on it by accident..
Good vlog Shelby😊 keep up the wonderful content drive safely thank you for everything you do as a truck driver
Your vlogs always put me in a good mood. You have a talent and an attitude that is needed in these times. Keep it up and best wishes.

That's one of my favorite routes.
Shel, anyone can be sent to a wrong destination by an incomplete message, don't blame yourself,if in doubt spend a few minutes and make a phone call and check, Oregon looks great in the rain! Much love ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Don't feel too bad Shelby, I've bobtailed 1100 miles before, intentionally mind you but still.
At least you got some great fuel mileage.

Thank you for explaining why you left your truck at the 7-Eleven fuel island while you went to get food. I was thinking that was really inconsiderate and I know you are not an inconsiderate person so I was a little confused. Thanks for clearing that up! And thanks for another great video!
I still love seeing your VLOGS even when you don't think you have anything to say. By the way it is really cute to see your feet barely reaching the pedals. Hopefully someday we will cross paths at the fuels pumps. We tow an RV and I know some truckers don't like RVers, but being a trucker was a bucket list item that never got done. The best I can do now is RV (with a tag along) and admire and respect our American Hero Truckers.

Look on the bright side, another opportunity to perfect coupling and uncoupling techniques, dealing with windy conditions running empty maybe too, doubt you can ever be annoying or boring either Shelby. Vids are always good, nice to learn something new, and to check in and see what you are up to, and how your doing, and that all is well with you all. That sunrise was cool too, thanks for sharing it.

20:00 you look *shockingly* pretty :) Your hair all over the place :)
JBF look?
Agreed!
Know how you feel. I took a load from the ups regional hub in Salt lake to the old ups building that is off of the 201 and redwood, just to find out they had me take the completely wrong trailer. The trailer I took was a new jersey load. So had to go back and get the right one. Thankfully it was a 10 min drive back to the hub. Classic UPS.
