You said you're going to Flying J? I deliver food to some Flying J stores for US Foods. The food they serve is among the most unhealthiest a man could ever eat. Most of it is all processed and pre cooked before it even gets delivered to the store.
The Mack’s and Freightliners both have a pretty good turning radius. The old Kenworths did not. The twin screw Mack’s are slightly worse but they are still okay.
@@thearmyvettrucker5410 I appreciate all your insight and knowledge in your videos.. keep up the good work.. what's your current Mos and did you have others on active duty 🤔
It’s an option from the factory but the company chooses not to equip any of our tractors with radios. Not many of us really care, we all use headsets or Bluetooth speakers for the most part.
You’ve mentioned on several videos that ABF doesn’t have radios in the trucks. Are you able to listen to music another way or is there a company policy against it? Do you typically have to drive all day in silence?
I’m using an off-brand suction cup mount that I have had for years and never used. I got it with a mounting kit when I originally got my old GoPro years ago.
All depends brotha, I’ve had weeks where all I do is turns and I’m home every night. Generally, when you get a laydown run, you’ll lay down in a hotel after that run and then come back home the next day. Sometimes you can get extended, but it’s uncommon unless you request it. Longest I’ve been away from home consecutively is 4 nights and that only happened twice over the last year.
I know! I’ve been having troubles with video editors, I’ve had to switch software a couple times. I botched the last video I had recorded because I accidentally deleted the intro clip 😅
My first truck was a freightliner

Why doesn't ABF have dedicated trucks for drivers?
You said you're going to Flying J? I deliver food to some Flying J stores for US Foods. The food they serve is among the most unhealthiest a man could ever eat. Most of it is all processed and pre cooked before it even gets delivered to the store.
Appreciate the heads up, I’ll keep that in mind.
Question, doea ABF have an on board facing Camera, watching the driver all the time?
No, only outward facing.
Hey TAVT imma young trucker 20 years old from Michigan I drive for Sygma I love my job
If you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life
As far as the turning radius goes on a Mac what is your opinion on that? I've heard that the turning radius on a Mac is tight is is this correct?
The Mack’s and Freightliners both have a pretty good turning radius. The old Kenworths did not. The twin screw Mack’s are slightly worse but they are still okay.

@@michaelcullipher38 my MOS while active duty was 19K. Now it’s 88M with the National Guard.
@@thearmyvettrucker5410 I just knew you were going to say 88M... and I figured you got reclassified.. thanks fyi
Awesome, Could U do a video on all the gear You bring with you
I went over all the stuff I typically bring with me in one of my previous videos.
Which video
Milwaukee does make a "half packout" cooler - has a white lid....Definitely takes some more space than your bag cooler but may perform better.
If you have an air leak like that, just use a little grease from your fifth wheel and that will fix it
Your shop will hate you.
No radio in a brand new tractor? Good content, keep it up.
It’s an option from the factory but the company chooses not to equip any of our tractors with radios. Not many of us really care, we all use headsets or Bluetooth speakers for the most part.
If your on extraboard and they put you on a 24/7 call block. How are u able to schedule dentist appointment and things like that
They will excuse you from the call block if you have an appointment. Some terminals require a doctors note, just depends on the supervisor.
Nice trip. Enjoy the ride.

You’re able to listen to music! You can use a Bluetooth speaker or a headset.
what's the dash cam mount you use for the dji camera?
I’m using an off-brand suction cup mount that I have had for years and never used. I got it with a mounting kit when I originally got my old GoPro years ago.
@@thearmyvettrucker5410 OK. Enjoy your videos man! Thanks for getting back with me.
How many over nights do you do a week.
