Dave, stop worrying about your backing. It doesn't matter how many tries it takes or how many pull ups as long as you don't hit anything, you've done good.
Exactly. Take as much time and as many pull-ups you need to back it in safely. Screw impatient drivers. Hell, even "Super Truckers" have had and I bet still have difficult moments. One of the trainers at driving school dropped this little pearl - You know when you know all you need to know? When you're six feet under, that's when.
Tell that to a shipper and receiver waiting for you to get in to a dock, and explain that to you're company when you are banned from that customer and end up getting fired from the carrier you work for becuase of it.
@@zach8969 that was highly specific and also unlikely, but if even if that did happen there are thousands of trucking jobs out there, and you would be going into your next job without an accident on your record.
I actually started watching his Motovlogs and they are as funny if not funnier than the truckingvlogs but I wish there was a way to watch him from day one and in order like a binge on decades
@@dwaynepage3158 yea dave is a funny character, glad he can record while he’s driving. Not allowed at Prime and I’m not sure why. Prime drivers got some great videos like Johnson’s logic and Eric from Drivers line up
Agreed. I sometimes take my 579 to the Rush dealer right there at the corner of Slover/Cherry when I'm home and needing anything done on it. I hate being on that street. Sometimes when I'm going from Rush to I-10/Cherry, I just resort to turning right instead and either going into Three Sisters Truck Stop or Flying J, then coming back out...or I'll just take Slover all the way down to Etiwanda and get on at Etiwanda instead.
I love it when a guy can mess up and make fun of himself and to a non trucker they missed where he really did mess up 😂😂. Does that make sense..... I love Dave’s videos! Thanks for sharing Dave. 😂😂
Put your camera on the cat walk and record the hooking of the trailer. You will see that it is better if the truck lifts the trailer some when you back under it. If it is heavy...wait for the truck to raise back up. The truck going up on air bags will take the pressure off the landing legs.
Schneider has an app that shows the empties at a given location. It's not fool-proof by any means, but it helps to limit how much time is wasted looking for one.
Fontana,ca, hell you missed our Santa ana winds dude. I kid you not, that wind will take your trailer door out of your hands with ease. I had it happen to me once. Hay right there on the 10 with all the train cars, Dick simon was there on the left.
Yes! You are in my neck of the woods! I just received my CDL permit and now the schooling begins. Fontana will most likely be my home hub when I get my CDL and find a company to get experience with. Enjoy this weather and see you on the road someday. Enjoying your videos! Very inspirational! Keep it up
You could’ve just dropped your bags to get under trailer and also just connected your emergency line to slide tandems instead of reconnecting everything again lol
I've noticed a lot of OTR guys don't know how to drop their bags in this situation. I've had to help a few out back when I ran shuttle loads. As long as the trailer will clear the tires, then drop the bags and you're good. Another tip, if you ever have a trailer drop on accident, lower the bags, put the frame under the trailer, lift the bags, then crank on the handle it will relieve a lot of the pressure, just continue to do that until the trailer is hight enough to get back under.
Dave I've been watching your videos some. Pretty good for a rook. The one thing you might want to do different is the order you use when dropping trailers.always put landing gear down before you pull the pin.. sooner or later your gonna forget. The last thing always pull the pin!! Good luck kid and be safe....
Thanks for these videos. You have help me change my mind about going OTR. Was going to wait till my son graduates in 3 yrs but he told me to go and do it.
If the trailer is empty and it’s too low. If it clears the drives. Drop those airbags and get up under there and once the trailer is on the 5th wheel fill them back up. Be cautious doing it at other locations where the trailer may be slanted in some sort of way.
Same here. I used to live in Highland and still live in Victorville. I know the entire San Bernardino Valley very well and suspected he was going to end up in that area as soon as he said it would be a 17 mile drive from Fontana to "the destination". I also knew he'd probably find that truck detour route onto California Ave the hard way.
Aww man, that brings back memories, our drop yard was just down the street from yours, I would always get a couple of local deliveries before I would go on home time. CSB, the only hours of service violations I got were trying to get out of the LA/Long Beach area, trying to get back to Fontana to a truck stop. Both on the same offramp by the TA.
That's what I always liked about Swift translation. I could take home time just about anywhere and had a secure terminal to park my truck while I went out and enjoyed the area. Big benefits to driving for mega carriers. Great video 👍
Another great video and man Dave done worry about your backing it doesn't matter how long it takes you to back and how many tried it takes you to get in there and how many times u have to pull up jist as long as you get it in the spot and don't hit nothing your golden and have a good one keep up the great work much love to you Dave take care god bless and see ys on the next one brother catch ya later alligator
Dude give yourself a break. I have been watching your videos and I am not sure what you are talking about. the backing skills are spot on. if you want to know what I know I have had my cdl since it was a class one to a class A 1991~1992 so I do have an idea of what I am talking about. Everyone has a bad day. Don't let it stop you but continue. You are right on the mark. If it means anything to you. From what i can see you are a damn good driver! Good luck brother
I drive for a grocery chain in the Midwest. They let us choose how we get paid. Can either do mile and stop pay, or hourly. Most guys choose hourly. Even the old timers. I make $30 per hour and work anywhere from 8-14 hours a day depending on what route I choose for the day. I love being paid hourly. Would never go back to mileage.
Sup Dave I just recently discovered and subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago I'm watching a video were u talk about other truckers being overly critical about your driving man forget about those hatters as long as your doing your job the way your suppose to that's all that matters keep up the good work I really appreciate truckers.
You did the right thing by sliding the tandems. I've seen some customers that will actually fine carriers/drivers for failing to slide them. Few do, but you will eventually come across an outlier customer that actually will fine you for not sliding them before dropping a trailer in their lot.
Jason, I’ve done both. I hate running the same roads everyday especially when I lived in Dallas and now Houston. If you run regional or otr, just make sure you don’t get paid zip to zip. Hourly is the best and honest way to get paid. When I run local, I run a full clock Monday to Friday, and some on Saturday as optional, holidays off. However, I miss the open roads.
@@mumbleIntel I totally agree on the open road. It is exciting. I loved it. The pay and basically doing free work was not exciting. I do still believe good money is out there over the road. It is getting few and far between now days. Especially when you have a family at home. These companies want to slim it down as far as they can.
@@liquidman2009 it may seem like "free" work, but in a way it's not really free work. The cpm rate that OTR carriers pay usually accounts for time expected to be spent doing required On Duty stuff. Compensating drivers for On Duty work would only result in a lower basic cpm rate. In the end, the same carrier is going to pay you about the same amount anyway. And most company drivers are not going to have the option of picking loads that make the fullest use of their 70s possible anyway. I also don't know many O/O's who even want to use up their 70's. Most O/O's only care about getting the largest profit margins possible and running only as many miles as necessary to see a minimum preferred take home pay each week.
You would hav never made it through the traffic brother, u made the right call trust me and there isn’t anywhere to park once you pass hesperia ca on I-15 before u drop down Cajon pass into los Angela’s county. It’s a big pilot but better get there early
There are a whole bunch of places where you can park both in and south of the Cajon Pass. But it helps a lot to have prior experience with the area. I live in Victorville myself and do a lot of loads into and out of SoCal, so I know where a lot of good places to park are throughout the region (not that I use them more than absolutely necessary anyway). But put me in Dave's home area and it'll probably be a different can of worms.
Next time you get a low trailer like that just dump your bags. It will lower your frame and fifth wheel. Easy to back under then, and great video by the way.
I like miles cuz some times places are like 20 min away but at the same time I like hourly cuz like U said there’s still check in and live load and unload so like they both have there goods but bads
Dave i'm from SOCAL. Don't go to LA it's a shithole. Go a little more south and go down to Orange County or San Diego. Go see Huntington Beach and or Newport, Crystal Cove, Dana point. Go watch Suburban delinquent and find some good food places to eat.
Slanted parking setups are identical to perpendicular spots. The problems you're likely running into are two primary possibilities: (1) starting your right turn prematurely; and (2) picking a target on the other side of the lane that is too far to the right. If the setup lane is more narrow, go an extra spot past your desired spot before starting your setup turn. Personally, I stop steering right when there is a full trailer length of gap between the front of my tractor and whatever is in front of me, then go all the way across the lane before turning back to the left. Slanted spots are actually easier to back into than perpendicular. Just keep honing your setup skills and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Hey Dave I always wanted to be a Trucker but my Driving record from 2000 to 2003 says I can't. I Love watching your Vlogs and would love to have you on my channel sometime bud!
Great video, just subscribed!!!!! You have inspired me to work for CFI in American Truck Simulator, since that Is the closest thing I can get to being a real truck driver right now.
Dave you should be able to use personal conveyance to get to the nearest safe haven. I'm a rookie myself. Also we are taught to drop our suspension to couple a low trailer or uncouple
Hey Dave. IMHO, hourly is better because you still get paid if you're sitting waiting to make a delivery vice by the mile. Secondly, if they send you south to San Diego, let me know. Could you have dropped your air bags to get that trailer?
The slanted backing isn't too terribly bad if it's set up to where you're going in sightside. There's a conagra shipper in Dallas I think, where it's purposely done to where you have to do the slanted backing blindsided.
Everytime I see a CFI truck I look for the turning cam hoping its you. You should find a way to give live updates on where youre going so i know when to be looking for you. I just got a job in one of the distribution centers youve been to in Waco TX so hopefully I see you around haha
I wouldn't have backed under a trailer that low. Tyres are expensive. Make sure to note such things down on the papers, cause that's extra work for you. And it becomes a problem if the trailer is loaded.
Dude i just realized that up this video i forgot to subscribe to your channel. Ive been watching your vids for awhile now . The other day i saw a cfi here in cali which i think it was you but couldn’t tell . Safe travels bro
Hello , I did seven drops and my pick up on e log in California LA area , I have a dry van and sizor lifts nailed down to the floor and a bunch of display units all hand bomb stuff , any way I am mentally sick in the head , yes it happens but I did my job safe and did it well , so if I can do it , I believe anyone who puts their mind to the task can , but a lot of people say they won’t do that . Looking back I’m proud of my job and what I accomplished in California year in and year out , reefer 😊
Can't say I blame you for not wanting to get that other load in Carson. I'm from SoCal myself and know the area better, plus I've been in that area with my truck enough to know at least a few good places in the area where I can park. Regardless of how much CDL experience you have, it's never fun trying to figure out where you can possibly park when you don't already have more than a little bit of prior experience with the specific area. I can go into your area even with 5+ years of experience and not know for sure what other options are available to me outside of what shows up in Trucker Path. Tip: Try using Google Maps. Look at the reviews for not only your own customers, but any other places in the area where trucks are known to dock in at. A lot of times the other reviews will give you clues about whether overnight parking is available on or near the customer's property.
I was sho looking at ur tandems at that first delivery 😆cuz I saw the other trailers with slid tandems and I was like "ummm lemme just comment that rq" but now that u realized it 😆stoopid ass😆😆good work as always brother
I had this exact situation happen to me picking up a load in Carson I ran out of time getting loaded I just Personal Conveyance to the nearest truck stop which was like 1 hour and a half away you can PC in those situations and put "ran out of time at the shipper getting loaded I'm going to safely park at the nearest truck stop"
I like your videos, can you please attach the CB cable to the top, it keeps dangling, and it annoys me, hide the view of passenger mirror, thanks a lot Dave :)
No everybody doesn't have to do free work... EVER LOL😬 Stick together & make these people pay y'all!🤠👍 Don't cave, that's the only way it will get better for everyone in the trucking industry! God bless 🙏

Lol
It's so crazy seeing you drive in areas I know.
Dave you are definitely one entertaining individual!
Hourly, you don't feel rushed. Working locally, I go home everyday.
Dude turning or even staying on cherry in Fontana is a nightmare, you're really lucky that you didn't catch it during rush hour.

Welcome to my area man! Happy to have you here man! If you ever take home time check out San Diego aswell!
Hey Jonathan talk to me
I liked this one. A lot of the drive and you just chillin.
Wait, "If you had a tailpipe I would put it in you. ". Shirt.
I usually drop my air bags then get under it when it’s low like that. It’s a smooth transaction. Good job though. Love your channel.

Locals will call that area "Fontucky" That is Mt. Baldy in the distance. Ontario TA is the "only" one in the area.
Fontana ta is a stay away ta

The petro is literally across the street and much better.......so there's those two and a pilot off i15 around Pomona i think i remember

No
10 and 60 both have pilots couple miles from the Ta and petro.
They’ve only opened in the last year.
@@jamesclint2338 yeah that's right i was just unsure the exact locations
Good call, you would’ve been screwed after that pick up with traffic. After 2 pm it’s always at least a 2 hour drive from Carson to Fontana
Hourly is when U don't worry as much about Ur time at the Shipper/ reciever's...
Not necessarily sometimes working hourly is better pay than getting paid by mile.
@@jdmbb2893 Already said that before.. We all were tortured as newbies with zero time left..
You could’ve just dropped your bags to get under trailer and also just connected your emergency line to slide tandems instead of reconnecting everything again lol
That's EXACTLY what I was saying to myself as Dave is cranking up that landing gear. Just stop for a second and use your noodle. Safe travels driver.
Good tip, I'm going to do that from now on. 👍
@@Hellraiser32976 Right, that would be BAD. I guess those automatics are touchy so ya gotta be careful, just do everything nice and slow.

Just in LA yesterday and in flight to Dallas, TX
Next time you get a low trailer like that just dump your bags. It will lower your frame and fifth wheel. Easy to back under then, and great video by the way.
la is a drive from fontana
Dave look into Oakley trucking in north Little Rock Arkansas when you want to be owner operator they make great money
Hey Dave. Missed the premiere. Your the best. Love your videos and you. Keep up the good work man
I like miles cuz some times places are like 20 min away but at the same time I like hourly cuz like U said there’s still check in and live load and unload so like they both have there goods but bads
Hello 👋
Good morning ❤❤❤
Looking good, Dave. It got up to 60° here in mid Michigan. So nice. Stay safe:)
Dave i'm from SOCAL. Don't go to LA it's a shithole. Go a little more south and go down to Orange County or San Diego. Go see Huntington Beach and or Newport, Crystal Cove, Dana point. Go watch Suburban delinquent and find some good food places to eat.
Leaving LA County south to Orange, or north to Ventura is like the heavens opening up.

Hey Dave. IMHO, hourly is better because you still get paid if you're sitting waiting to make a delivery vice by the mile.
Secondly, if they send you south to San Diego, let me know. Could you have dropped your air bags to get that trailer?
Agreed. Never wait for free.
Would of been faster to drop his air bags for sure...that's what the last trucker did

After watching Supertrucker Dan I see why Dave always says I’m new lol
Don't worry about what people say man what you lack in skill you make up for with caution. At the end of the day an upright truck pays the bills
Hello 👋
Good morning
I wouldn't have backed under a trailer that low. Tyres are expensive.
Make sure to note such things down on the papers, cause that's extra work for you. And it becomes a problem if the trailer is loaded.
Love you bro 😎 keep on trucking be safe 👋
Dude i just realized that up this video i forgot to subscribe to your channel. Ive been watching your vids for awhile now . The other day i saw a cfi here in cali which i think it was you but couldn’t tell . Safe travels bro
I feel ur pain with the traffic there. One of the major reasons I'll never move to a major city.
Love your vlogs Dave ❤️
Hello , I did seven drops and my pick up on e log in California LA area , I have a dry van and sizor lifts nailed down to the floor and a bunch of display units all hand bomb stuff , any way I am mentally sick in the head , yes it happens but I did my job safe and did it well , so if I can do it , I believe anyone who puts their mind to the task can , but a lot of people say they won’t do that . Looking back I’m proud of my job and what I accomplished in California year in and year out , reefer 😊
Dang!! You were right next to me! In Ontario, I work for UPS So Cal Feeder 😎😎
Are you following me, I’m in Fontana today, seems like we are going to the same damn cities all the time
We need more videos man lowkey I wanna be trucker much love bro carefu on the roads
Can't say I blame you for not wanting to get that other load in Carson. I'm from SoCal myself and know the area better, plus I've been in that area with my truck enough to know at least a few good places in the area where I can park. Regardless of how much CDL experience you have, it's never fun trying to figure out where you can possibly park when you don't already have more than a little bit of prior experience with the specific area. I can go into your area even with 5+ years of experience and not know for sure what other options are available to me outside of what shows up in Trucker Path. Tip: Try using Google Maps. Look at the reviews for not only your own customers, but any other places in the area where trucks are known to dock in at. A lot of times the other reviews will give you clues about whether overnight parking is available on or near the customer's property.
I was sho looking at ur tandems at that first delivery 😆cuz I saw the other trailers with slid tandems and I was like "ummm lemme just comment that rq" but now that u realized it 😆stoopid ass😆😆good work as always brother
Slam it , as long as the fifth wheel plate lowers at an angle and not straight into the trailer you good.
hmmm. you good driving
I had this exact situation happen to me picking up a load in Carson I ran out of time getting loaded I just Personal Conveyance to the nearest truck stop which was like 1 hour and a half away you can PC in those situations and put "ran out of time at the shipper getting loaded I'm going to safely park at the nearest truck stop"
Hey Dave I saw now the news one loves was on fire 🔥
Just saw a CFI driver heading West on the 52 heading out of Santee...was that you? (12:50 Monday)
You da man Dave!
You passed my homestead Fontucky LOL.
If you go back to Fontana, go eat some Fried Alligator from the Bass Pro Shop in Fontana, it tastes amazing.
I like your videos, can you please attach the CB cable to the top, it keeps dangling, and it annoys me, hide the view of passenger mirror, thanks a lot Dave :)
No everybody doesn't have to do free work... EVER LOL😬 Stick together & make these people pay y'all!🤠👍 Don't cave, that's the only way it will get better for everyone in the trucking industry! God bless 🙏
