Probably the worst neighborhood in New York be careful

I just want you to know I postponed playing the Sims to watch this. So, you're welcome and I want you to know the SACRIFICES I make for our relationship. 😘

All well in 2025, Janez

Happy New Year, Daniel! Glad that you made it back to Oregon for the holidays. Congratulations on getting a newer truck👍 Is it a better layout or just a newer version of the old truck? Man, that is a seriously huge amount of sour cream. Does Utah have a taco day festival or are the markets just stocking up with the base for all of the chip dip people will be making (now made) on New Year's Eve? Utah does have a lot of beautiful scenery. I've traveled through the state on the California Zephyr (Amtrak) a number of times in all seasons (but love winter travel best). Uhah 🤔now there's one for my bucket list. OK, dude, the stache is epic, but it really needs that big beard to support it - especially now that your are starting to show some gray wisdom in it. My beard transitioned to 99% gray-silver-white around my late 60s (no, not the late 60s, my late 60s 😂). Well, of course, you are important to take some pictures of - candy and potato purveyor to the world or at least the west. Best that you will not be vexed by the nasty weather that is starting to sweep across the country. Be well and stay in the righteous lane of awesome - peace ✌

Thank you kindly Skipton! I completely agree that my Texan accent needs some work. 🤣🤣🤣 luckily I missed most of the holiday drivers. But there’s still Christmas so they’ll have another chance at aggravating, I mean, providing me with a learning opportunity. 😅 Thanks as always for watching!

So instead of imposter pelicans you have the inland pelicans. Even knowing that there is the Great Salt Lake (the Pretty Good Salt Lake?), it still seems odd to see pelicans in a land locked state. I couldn't make up my mind if Jim was breaking formation or he was a featured solo flyer doing some of his tricks. Nice job on the super moon clips 👍Glad to hear that you'll have half of Christmas week off. You will have to indulge in two oversized dinners to make up for the Thanksgiving that you missed. Remember, it's traditional to have servings of dessert (or each dessert if there is more than one) after the main meal and another serving for breakfast the following morning. That's for each meal! Be well, Daniel, stay safe, and keep it awesome - peace ✌

Daniel, dude, you are laying down some miles. Nice time-lapse capture of that sunrise. I half expected your truck to go airborne and disappear into it 😉 Bravo for giving safety priority over schedule. Of course, you're going to meet the schedule whenever possible, but there are too many accidents caused by too many unsafe drivers in the name of schedule demands. OK, let's discuss that Texas accent - I think maybe that Texan may have immigrated from a holler in the Appalachian region. He hasn't picked up the slow drawl yet. I can see the wisdom of avoiding a lot of daytime driving around any of the traveling holidays - and this is the busiest time of the year for them. It's bad enough to share the road with local travelers. I suspect that you encounter some real pains in the arse in inter- and intra- state traffic. All of those holiday drivers who see 'normal' traffic as a conspiracy to keep them from getting to where they need to be. Glad the guy got the weight corrected on that 'heavy' load. If it had been accurate for just two pallets, those would have been some incredibly dense frozen pastries 😂 Be well, sir, and keep driving on the awesome side of the road - peace ✌

Are you 13'6?

Is this close to 977 e 149th st bronx ny?

I feel sick every time I have to go to the Bronx, especially since the last time I went under the train tracks and it was a scary and difficult moment, I had to move my tandems and everything, with this video I feel calm and I will not be scared to go anymore, thanks friend

Theres an easier route. Stay on 95 to sheridan then theres a ramp from sheridan right into the area ehere the market is. Go Yankees

really nice and helpful video

What back haul did you get out of there?

Thanks bro this is the help I needed 🫡 Jbs driver out

Desultory it may arguably may or may not be, but it is most assuredly full of charm, pithy observations on the human condition, and owlish on-the-road wisdom - absolutely full of it 😉 Be well, Daniel, keep it awesome - peace ✌

Rock on brother

Hey, Daniel - what a brilliant video post ❤💯 Despite the inevitable frustrations and annoyances, your VLog posts are great - filled with humor (and wisdom)👍 I feel for you, my friend. It's been heat dome hell in our area with heat indexes sending the 'feels-like' well above 100°F and we, in fact, reached 100° actual. Yeah, there are people who seems to think that running up on the butt of your vehicle will make you move faster. Bugger off is the appropriate attitude to take toward said drivers. SPAGHETTI O'S ❤❤❤ They are the best!!! - plain, with meat balls, or with franks. In my Navy years, Spaghetti O's and canned Sardines were a staple in every gedunk concession. I remember many a day in X division taking one or both with me to eat cold, out of the can (tin). I still love both (Spaghetti O's plain and with franks are my favorites). Thanks for the tutorial on trucker math. Two half half-and-half loads sounds like the whole story 😉 Be well and keep to the awesome side - peace ✌

I was moved by your very moving video, Daniel 🥹I was wondering if you were going to trek back to the west coast. The route you'd described with your new company didn't look likely to take you back east. Congratulations on finding a neat home. It looks like you were forced to tell your insistent floofy hunbun to "MOVE IT! I have to get a move on." Looking forward to seeing future on-the-move video posts. Be well and keep on the road to awesome - peace ✌

That button hook turn at 8:50 👍🏾

You’re welcome! ❤❤❤

Dude this good video is awesome thabk you fir the thorough no bs talk talk talk im starting an outfit that runs there i feel alot more confident i can read signs ans hope i will do just fine ! I will memorize these exact and writr them down cheers man! Thank you for true and accurate directions 👏 i cant wait to see what trucking is truly about sir keep trucking man !

Edited, unedited ... they're all very enjoyable ... keep on truckin' ;-)

Keep doing them unedited as long as needed. It's nice to see and hear from you like a real conversation. LOVE that meer!

Well, Daniel, count me in the group that is glad that you can't easily edit. Your stream-of-consciousness videos are cracking, mate. Linguistic pratfalls and oopsies (see, I know all of that technical jargon) are just fine. The time-lapse video is definitely a keeper format. TH-cam live - an interesting concept. Seeing what you see with a running commentary could be both interesting (and revealing?) That's a fine looking Meerschaum. I remember reading someone's guide on how to 'properly' handle and smoke a Meerschaum. Rule 1 was to never handle the pipe without wearing chamois gloves. Even white cotton gloves would not protect the waxed coating from the oils on your hands, I recall another 'guide' that suggested that the bowl should be kept inside of something like a large glass jar to maximize the bowl's exposure to the tobacco smoke. That always sounded like a recipe for an impending disaster. If the idea is to let the meerschaum color naturally and uniquely, I'd take your approach. Smoke the pipe when you can and however you enjoy smoking it. So it doesn't color 'perfectly', great honk! My man, you're looking good - be well and keep movin' on down the righteous path of awesome - peace ✌

Beautiful big meerschaum you’ve got there.

from where to where

Nice territory, Daniel - nice variety of landscape and views. Best that your new company has lived up to your initial impressions 👍Be well and keep it on the awesome side - peace ✌

Hey, Daniel, great to see you and to hear that your new company is a big step up. Best that it just keeps getting better. OK, you who can thread the needle in NYC and elsewhere undoubtedly inserted your big trailer into that teeny tiny slot without breaking a sweat, right? When you were talking about doors, I imagined you being asked - "Do you want door number one, door number two, or door number three. Tell him what he might win, Don." Ah, the insistence of signs - Sign, sign, Everywhere a sign, Blockin' out the scenery, Breakin' my mind, Do this, don't do that, Can't you read the sign?"" - try not thinking of that the next time you see a cautionary or advisory sign 😉 Your great circle route sounds good. Oh the places you'll go and the people you'll meet when you frequent industrial areas. There you will meet unique personalities doing uniquely unconventional things and asking uniquely unanticipated questions. You need not worry about eating a torusly formed foodstuff with sprinkles. Obviously a nought shaped food would have a calorie count of nought. Be well, sir, and keep on cruising the highways of awesome - peace ✌

Thank you for saving the booty views for me. Much appreciate. ❤❤❤

Much congratulations, Daniel 🥳👍 It sounds like you need a custom booty cushion to shift you leftwards, but not much ... The interior seems to be a bit of an upgrade although that semi-lack of privacy will need to be addressed - much ... Your guided tour and narrative are just too much 😂Most of all, best that you will find that you are much appreciated (and compensated) by Pride Transport. Be well and keep it on the awesome side - peace ✌

Good luck with the new company. Take care, Janez

Is there now a direct path from Sheridan blvd to Edgewater rd that takes you straight in and out of Hunts Point?

Man, Daniel, your pay hassle sucks big time. There's no excuse for putting a load on hold "because". The fact that no one can give you a 'why' is more than suspicious. All the best in finding more reliable employment with a company that respects its employees - all of its employees - and Congratulations!!! on getting your HazMat qualification. Your hairdo transformation from Dali to DaVinci to GQ was amazing. You will be an astounding perpetual 39, my man 👍 I've got 3 more birthdays before I am twice your now 'age which must not be mentioned' 🚫 but birthdays and age are overrated. If you don't tell, I won't either 😂 Be well and keep it awesome - peace ✌

Man, sorry to hear you're having to deal with all that! And I feel you - I turn 4-0 later this year!

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

holy shit

Alvin Alvin Aaaallviiiiiin!

Sounds like Alvin and the chipmunks

Responsibly?!? That sounds like mature adult talk, sir. 🤣 luckily the trip went smoothly and am currently frolicking through the prized state of Wisconsin. Perhaps I’ll gain a whole new level of cheesy while here. Thanks for watching!

What can I say? Where do I start? Let's begin with 'my normal self'. 🤔Well, Daniel, since you are the one doing it, when is whatever you do not being your normal self. I suppose those times when you have an out-of body-experience might qualify as paranormal rather than normal 😉Moving on to your meal - an excellent choice! Honeyed sausage oatmeal topped with trail mix - maybe a little chopped apple might be a nice addition. So, your driving expertise comes from your hair - fair enough, but keep it long enough to avoid the Samson effect. OK, the X Wing fighter is fully two levels above sweet. Well done, sir! The overview and demonstrations were superb 👍💯 Use the armaments and lasers responsibly. All the best on your 2200 mile trek. Be well and keep walking (or driving) on the awesome side - peace ✌

Well, damn, Daniel - you landed for a pick-up in my hometown. Porterville (originally known as Portersville) was home for over 20 years until I joined the Navy (not long after the era of tall sails and wooden ships 😉) It is in the heart of the citrus area of the San Joaquin Valley. Great review, my friend, done in your own (cliche alert) inimitable style. I do believe that you have added a new word to the vocabulary of pipe smoking, "to doddlize, past tense doddilized". Think of how much richer you have made the language of pipe smoking, "doddilize, doddilization, doddilify, doddilocity, doddilism". I haven't had that particular tobacco, but it checks all the boxes of the type of blend that I like. That pipe, sir, is just the ticket for a long, long smoke. A big bowled pipe really lets a tobacco develop while you are smoking it. Yeah, I hear you on reserving pipes for specific tobaccos - a nice idea, but financially impractical. Being a student on a tight budget when I took up the pipe, I only had a couple of pipes. They got packed with whatever tobacco I was exploring at the moment. Thanks for fine tobacco review 👍💯 Be well and stay on the road of awesome - peace ✌

The fruitiness at the end of the could also be the tobacco itself. Many of the Rattrays tobaccos have that raisin or fig aroma. Nice video! Greetings from Germany 😊

And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep. Sweet mashup of visuals and music, Daniel 👍 You cover it all - nearly deserted two-lane road and dense urban freeway, sunrise to sunset, daylight to tail light. Still waiting for the next epic air fryer entrée. Be well and keep it awesome - peace ✌✌

Time to pursue cinéma vérité - complete POV. Just include a few quick takes of your own commentary, Daniel. That would be missed. You had one particularly gorgeous sunrise in this post. Surprisingly, for February - nothing looked to wintry. That's been the story here are our one and, so far only snowfall (of which all traces disappeared exactly one week later). Any new on-the-road meal creations. Be well, my friend, and stay on the righteous road of awesome - peace ✌

You are a tough man. Take care, Janez

They finally made bridges so trucks can drive through. U otr?

I see the roads are new

So a weather shutdown kept you stationary 'weather' you wanted to be or not. High winds and ice certainly are not a healthy combination no matter what size vehicle you have. In my younger days, sonny, I drove a VW Bug - not very high sided, but no weight either 😬Cold, canned spaghetti with meat sauce - yum although my preference runs to sauce with no meat. Spaghetti-Os are always a treat - ditto cold pork and beans. Whoa, that is some heavy sugar load. That must present a few safe driving challenges. Glad that you are staying safe. Be well and keep it awesome

Greetings, Daniel - you've been doing some snow storm chasing, I see. Anywhere through the latitudinal middle of the country and up and down the east coast from North Carolina north has the potential for snow and bitter cold right now. Glad to see that you're staying safe. Too many drivers of all types of vehicles get overconfident and underestimate driving conditions. "The speed limit is 65 MPH so who cares if there is a quarter of an inch of ice in spots. I'm an experienced driver." They are always surprised when they have and-or cause an accident. Man, your patient, wry sense of humor impresses and amazes me, much admiration and respect my friend. You, also, happen to be a great example of one of the big benefits of smoking a pipe. There's nothing like the pipe smoking ritual to break the hold of whatever stress and frustration has on you and slow down and regroup. It can be a big boost to your mental health, and who among us doesn't need and appreciate that. Regarding the pipe shape - put me in the full bent column. The angle of the bend is not as acute as an Oom Paul which can be fully vertical. Be well, Brother Daniel, and stay totally awesome - ✌

Have a safe drive, Janez
