Better tighten up🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻

nothing taught or learned from this at all to much talk and not enough action !

The giy that owns the wrecker service behind pilot was supposed to build the Petro. Bjt it neen on hold for awhile. I live about 30 minutes from there.

Good video brings back some old memories. My wife's cousin worked at the ole truck plaza for years. The Chinese place used to be Pops. It could be the people that have homes there close to the Petro land got it stopped not wanting all those trucks close to their homes. And you can't blame them for that if it is with all the trashy truckers out there today. Not saying all are but there is a lot of scumbags on the road today. It's a hell of a lot different than when I was on the road for over 50+ years.

Jerry Reid sang about monteagle in the smokey and the bandit theme song. I remember that truck stop. It had a really good greasy spoon

I have not thought of WilcoHess in a long time.

It’s sad that the minority of drivers has given all drivers a bad reputation

That Wilco was a nice place, I hope the Petro will win against the NIMBYS.

PILOT/FLYINGJ Was bought by Waren Buffet.

looks like a heavy traffic location for Monteagle?.. nice to see theres plenty of room from the maps view! organization/zoning is probably key. meaning: locations being well organized. govermnent's aint tought this anymore! ha..ha.. yup! that's a real nice breakdown! truck stops are usually less than <2miles off the hyway. crazy huh! yup! commerce comes first! right! it would be hell on earth to attempt to live that close to a main hyway! OMGosh! this just boils my blood! ha..ha.. yup! **waffle hut rules the roost**! go Vik's go Bill's..

I did not run through there often, but the only reason I ever stopped up there was for Larry's. I could get the flat-front plain military khakis in my size for like 6 bucks a pair. I forget what year that surplus store closed.

When I was a driver for Yellow I would stop here to get a Hess Christmas toy truck. I was sad when I got there one day and it turned into a pilot.

Those pics of the inside brought back memories I remember the wood grain and eating in the restaurant when I had my 1st truck I'd stop there back in 86 the local craft items in the truck store etc gave the place it's charm

It's so weird to think about the fact that you should take pictures and save them of everything you see. I've been wishing that I had taken pictures of my home town years ago but why would you take them?

The 1st Garmin I bought 15 y ago already had all these features. "Points of interest". You did live in a remote location, I can tell :-)

I've bought a Hyundai with "integrated" GPS - it was garbage. I couldn't upgrade it but it didn't matter because the whole "infortainment" block fried twice, the second time out of warranty. So it's sitting dead right there. I love my Garmin GPS, it's much easier to use too (obviously), and it's in the line of sight.

Hey Dave, I drive out of Dalton Ga

This video shows the importance of trip planning when under the gun. If you started in 2001, you were doing it like I was. Pouring over my laminated carrier's atlas, calculating miles while looking at city grid maps to find my way into the place, writing down the directions and clipping it to my FLD's dash. Under the old rules. With today's technology there is no excuse for poor trip planning. (You mentioned US 36. I used it a LOT and never had a bad trip across it. I actually live just off US 36 in eastern Ohio.)

Thanks for Every Mile🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You are the the reason i got my first truck after being slave to the shady companies for years Its tought but i am making it work Never give up. Thanks for your honest opinions about our industry Keep up the good work

howdy!👍👍💪💪

Plan B always sucks, is a motto I've lived by.

Sheesh

Hey brother I missed your live. That sucks I was pretty excited then I realized I had missed it. sorry brother I will watching it.

hold the camera still.........damn this video sucks

The 24/7 on west Crawford street is really small but clean. It is worth shoehorning yourself into there only because of Russell’s restaurant next door. They serve a fantastic breakfast that is so large it requires a lot of hunger to conquer. I have yet to leave there without having to get a to go container for the leftovers.

Your spot on with what you're saying, I'm a retired old school driver that drove at least a couple of years before Deregulation, I started in 1978, I believe Deregulation is what is causing all the issues today, back in the day the industry did police itself to an extent and watched out for each other why? because companies realized the pie was only so big and they knew what percentage of the pie they had. Professionalism has left the industry, that's why there are dirt bags or subhumans as I call them taking over the industry, not sure if you will stop it. You talk about drivers basically working for free, well it's quite possible that the peanuts they are getting is more than what they had back in Europe and yes that's destroying the country, And how corrupt the brokers have gotten of course they will take the peanut gallery to haul their freight. You're also correct about getting your own authority, I'm a Life member of the OOIDA and they are telling drivers to lease on with a good company before going out on your own. I'm glad to see Loves won with the NIMBY crowd in your area. Happy to see that you carry, same here. Be safe and I enjoy your videos.

Play the lucky 7 😂

Thanks, bud. Hmmm.... a brand new scanner on New Years Eve, I know what I'd be doing, listening to that thing all night seeing how many people get busted by the man.

WOW! Look at all those diesel pumps that the flip floppers can take their 30 minute break beside.

🤩🏁yup! heck yea! park my 5th hand singlewide! I'm just so impressed get'n to see the OTR & community experience! I just don't get it though? companies plant, companies leave! I realize everything changes, but. & a place that looks ''run-down'' is just not happy looking! the song remains the same dude! 🍦🍦🍦🍦yup! 4real🍉🍌

Full moon

Yeah this was and still is a mess in Mississippi bc of the United furniture closing down the way it did and furniture factory are just about the life blood of Mississippi and there not much of jobs in Mississippi either

Whoops!🙏💜

Crazy

Yeah you should a similar thing happened to me I said the same thing but I didn't and that night it was the daily number

I would drive from Wisconsin to my first stop in commerce city Colorado, drive straight through nonstop, I had loose leaf log sheets so I would rip out that log back everything up one day, the next morning I would get fuel, I could carry 300 gallons, 150 on each side, I would get that stop off in the morning and drive straight through to Vegas, get fuel and back everything up tight. Then I would drive to LA and unload the rest at a UPS terminal, then I’d head up towards Napa valley and start making my pickups of wine and start heading back to the Midwest. I’d leave sat about 10am and I’d be back in Wisconsin Friday night, 4,800 miles in 6 days😊

You could house illegals there and in the old Holidome. They want to tare it down and the old hospital.

Good one! Enjoy your time off

Thank you for your service!🇺🇸💪🇺🇸

No truer words have been spoken... it applies to each industry out there and every walk of life. I have never been OTR... obviously, but I truly and thoroughly enjoy your content and the knowledge you dispense. Thank you for all that you do each and everyday, please always be as safe as possible in all of your travels and adventures.🙏💜

Yea a good face for it

This man’s NRA shirt and handlebar mustache make me a believer he can fix anything

What a mess, at least you got paid well. How’s the new seat?

Considering how expensive cats are, especially in a state like California, it's worth a try! I am curious, would using a cheap pump to flush the liquid through help make the process more effective by more or less flowing liquid through, therefore helping to dislodge more crap that's inside there potentially blocking the honeycomb and reducing the efficiency of the cat? It's also nice you touched on the fact that yes some states don't do testing but it's still Federally required and unless you have an exemption, you can get into SERIOUS trouble running without a cat in your car. Let's say more than what it would cost to replace the one you had.

I'm a local there and them guys who park there and go home are paying the manager under the table cash. FYI

You keep coming to my part of the woods. I'm leased to ACE DORAN 7:22 . I live at exit 78 on I 55 terry MS. I've been trucking since 1980 O/O since 1987. Maybe we could meet up some time in person.

I can't believe truck stops closing at night it's a joke

Not sure about the elog you're using, but with Isaac if something goes sideways during pretrip you can just hit the back button before you sign it and it won't start the clock
