Very professional, Dan. The driving, loading and securement, (although the gaps between the angle iron and flat bar would be worrysome to me), also the video production and music. You could throw out some longer and more detailed videos, I think we would mostly like that. Difficult I know, only so many hours in a day. From a disabled 60 year old driver of 20 years, who hauled flat out of western Pennsylvania most of my career. My heart is riding with you. Thank you, and know it makes my body and soul ride again with you.
Theres a headlight missing?! It's amazing how many trucks have steps, fairing, bumpers, and more torn off. Keep safe Dan. Cancelled loads equals someone did it cheaper.
It always amazes me the trucks I see that have headlights burned out or damaged parts like busted up fenders going down the highway. I'm like "do they ever go through a scale house?"
Hi Dan and Bailey, Hi!! Did the Wife [Teresa] Have a Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎉🎈🎊? Hope you and Bailey have a safe travel up northern Indiana! Sleep Well my Friend
The music starting at 10:32 was spot on for your driving. Maverick LLC does a lot of flat bed loads for Gerdau. I follow a few of their truckers. The picture you posted on Facebook of the sky was awesome.
Hi 👋 Dan & Bailey, Thanks for your Latest Video # 593 Really Appreciate you taking the time to make them!! Happy Father’s Day Dan! You looked Beat [Tired] bye for now my friend!!
Cool video thanks Dan….would like to see some more of your driving like through the mountains so we could see how your rig handles that (with a little sound if possible) …..stay safe and hydrated out there….you and Bailey….
That's an awesome sunset Daniel.!!! Great work on your videos, I love watching. Chin up Daniel your doing a professional job out there 💪👍👍 You and Bailey stay Safe. And Keep on Trucking 🚛💨🚛💨🚛💨😎😎👍
Hi Dan, 11:19 minutes into this video l notice your left headlight shines higher then your right headlight, l believe proper headlight alignment calls for the right beam to be higher then the left beam. Nice videos!
Like your videos Dan always doing something interesting or hauling something interesting. You and Bailey stay safe out there. I'll see you on the next one.
I drove truck in the mid 70s. Unbelievable how things have changed. You should change the name of your channel to cutting it close Dan ! Be safe out there !
It would have been a few more mins left if not for the scale house mix up but glad it wasn't you . You would have thought the guy would have went around the scale house knowing his headlight was missing but takes all kinds stay safe keep him straight Bailey and keep the video's coming
Seems to be getting more common to have loads cancel … happened to me a couple of times in the past 2 months also….they are not making it easy these days rates dropping, loads cancelling and fuel prices climbing. Almost like they are trying to get rid of all of us.
Another interesting video about your job showing that it not all chrome and shine well done very interesting Keep up the good work and stay safe on the highway 🌵🇬🇧👍
Love the music Dan. What a bummer your load canceled especially after dead heading to go get it. I have had days like that. Seems everything is going wrong. At least you got another load and got out of there, probably didn’t make the money you wanted but your back moving again. You sounded really beat at the end of the video. I use to remember how good it sounded to hear that motor stop turning. That in itself was a pleasing feeling as I knew I would be in the bunk real soon. Most people do not know what it’s like to do an all day shift behind the wheel, then load and unload the same day. The older I got the more it hurt. Well Dan The Man , have a great and a safe day. Another top quality video.
Truck and trailer looking good Dan, Bailey was alive yapping away 😁 for sure definitely that was a shoot down that load canceling on you, I have been through that kind of bull hawk before , Tomorrow is a new day , HAPPY late DAD'S day be safe take care yourself Dan
Hiya Dan, 0:34 orange sky "like it's on fire" .. I am in Brisbane Australia and we are witnessing the same phenomenon, at around sunset the sky turns a bright shade of yellow, nor is it confined to the actual sunset but covers the entire western quadrant of the sky .. it has been occurring intermittently now for at least a couple of yrs, I first noticed it at about the same time San Francisco's skies turned red concurrent with devastating wildfires in the hills in 2020 .. I have been wondering about it ever since .. good luck :)
Dan. Was considering O/O with Mercer. Like the business model. HOWEVER! Im going to suspend my application for now. There is not enough profit after buying a decent truck. I dont mean a new one either. Im talking below $100k. Loads have to be $4-$6/mile. Period. Unless fuel price gets below $3/gal. Thats what my calculations say. If you can address error with my calculations, let me know.
would like to know your thoughts on road courtesy, flashing headlights to let trucker know he has cleared your vehicle so he is good to change lanes. I enjoy a thank you by trucker flashing back.
when work starts getting slow you alway's see more loads cancel,they don't cancel per say,they just play one company on the other until they get the cheapest truck to haul the load!!!
I stopped hauling out of the plant a couple of years ago due to them not putting blocks in between each piece. Doesn’t make sense why they don’t put them in between.
Darn should halve blown the day off! Next county west of LaGrange county Indiana. Oh wait this old school truck driver still has a job to do our roads need fixed first! Meet Dan next time HaHa!
That’s the main reason I never slept at weight stations. Who wants to get a knock on the door from D.O.T. asking for all your paperwork. I rather sleep on an exit ramp.
How much to pick up my 34 foot school bus in flagstaff and take it to Chelsea mi? Would pay cash . Do not understand how to hire a trucker the the broker system.

If you are near the Mexico border and see that kind of stuff missing off a truck out of Mexico it's nothing new to see

The Music was Grooving while they were Loading the Baby Reels on your Truck. You link up Great Tunes. 👍
Awesome sunset and scenery! Great trucking videos! Wishing you and Bailey many miles of safe and Blessed travels!
Always love the ever changing view through your windshield. Thank you, Dan.
Thanks Dan for the ride. The big Cat is great when you have to push it due to time constraints. Take care.
I love the crane work, music, and as always your driving skills.

Is that really your last name? Wish it were mine! 🥲
Hello Dan and Bailey good to hear from you two you two be safe and keep the videos rolling...
You’re a true pro, Dan. You remind me of the guys who taught me how to drive a truck back in the 70s.
Thanks Dan
Hello from Brisbane Australia. Hope you are doing ok. Really like your videos Dan.
Hey, me too, Hello and good-day
I drove truck in the mid 70s. Unbelievable how things have changed. You should change the name of your channel to cutting it close Dan ! Be safe out there !

Travel safe, Dan!!!
I saw that sunset in Western North Carolina. The sky looked like it was on fire.
Give Bailey a belly rub and stay safe.
Happy Father’s Day Dan!
Hi Dan,loads cancelling seem to becoming a more common thing these days,safe travels
Seems to be getting more common to have loads cancel … happened to me a couple of times in the past 2 months also….they are not making it easy these days rates dropping, loads cancelling and fuel prices climbing. Almost like they are trying to get rid of all of us.
Sorry your load got cancelled. I have been to that Gerdau in Charlotte many times. Glad you managed to make it to Mercer.
Another interesting video about your job showing that it not all chrome and shine well done very interesting
Keep up the good work and stay safe on the highway 🌵🇬🇧👍
That is close keep up the good work
Dude on magnet overhead crane gets a 👍.
They just canceled a load, I’m in North Dakota waiting for my next adventure
Charlotte is my neck of the woods!!! Hope you enjoyed the heat/humidity!!!
Love the music Dan. What a bummer your load canceled especially after dead heading to go get it. I have had days like that. Seems everything is going wrong.

Thank-you for making videos. Especially after such a long grueling day.
Take good care Dan. Be well!!
Glad to have you in Pageland SC. Hopefully your travels will bring you back though here again.
Truck and trailer looking good Dan,
Bailey was alive yapping away 😁
for sure definitely that was a shoot down that load canceling on you,
I have been through that kind of bull hawk before , Tomorrow is a new day ,
HAPPY late DAD'S day
be safe take care yourself Dan
Thanks for your latest video, I look forward to them. Stay safe out there.
I know that Love’s! I’ve not stayed there but I delivered to the Walmart DC across the street as they were finishing the Love’s
Gerdau Charlotte is always a good place to get loaded for me. Kinda confusing the first time you go but I’m always in and out. Have a safe trip.
Thanks for another great video. Too bad about the load to Reno. We thought we might spot big orange there yesterday. Stay safe!
hi i follow you from massachusett you never pass bye over here
Welcome back my friend and you guys be safe out there
nice meeting you that day when you loaded the reels. ill keep an eye out for when your back in town for another round!
Loving the music. Well done as usual.
I bet It feels good to get a load when one was canceled. Safe travels to you and your copilot.
Hope you get another long run. I used to love the long runs instead of short hops.
Happy Father’s Day…Another nice ride along…Out a little late ⏰ when ya pulled into HQ.
Those are some strong magnets. Cool
The sky did that to me to in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Great Job and Video. Enjoyed !! H.
Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 👍 🇺🇲 🚛 🐘 👌
What happens if you got there and you ran over your time clock Dan? Is there a penalty, fine, jail time?? Great videos!

Sorry about the cancel, I was looking forward to Reno. It's always a gamble.
Take care out there Dan, remember the 1980's for the coming troubles ahead!
hey dan, 3 minutes are as good as an hour.
I’ve picked up there once before. Still the same.
When the steel was loaded, the trailer sure lowered.
Gerdau is a Brazilian company 😀. Greetings from Brazil
I was wondering about that. I was thinking it was German company.
Cool video Dan 🤙
Dan.
Was considering O/O with Mercer. Like the business model.
HOWEVER!

Katie must really be earning her corn these days.
Or losing her mind 🙃
@@katiesmith4536 I understand. "got the t-shirt".
My hometown Dan Elkhart Indiana
Load cancelled,nice way of telling you they found someone else to haul it cheaper.
10:33 🎶 Arizona vibe 💃🎵
Just to prove to us you are Super Trucker
Orange Sky at night, light of shorter wavelengths is being dissipated by water vapour and atmospheric dust.
Orange Sky in the morning ... Same.
Peace be upon you
Good 🙋🏽♂️ morning.
In the care of God and his preservation, God willing.
when work starts getting slow you alway's see more loads cancel,they don't cancel per say,they just play one company on the other until they get the cheapest truck to haul the load!!!
At least your load of coils matched your tractor
When that steel is spaced like that does it try to move when you strap it down?
Wow what a haul and cutting it close, another great STD video
I stopped hauling out of the plant a couple of years ago due to them not putting blocks in between each piece. Doesn’t make sense why they don’t put them in between.
What eld are you using thanks
I have been there load has been canceled. It can be frustrated.
The trooper couldn't move to let you pull out
Yes, load canceling is common since April it seems
At least my brokers are courteous enough to make up a story on why the load is now unavailable rather than just canceling it!
Darn should halve blown the day off! Next county west of LaGrange county Indiana. Oh wait this old school truck driver still has a job to do our roads need fixed first! Meet Dan next time HaHa!
What happened to your Trucker Path link? Are you not in that program anymore or did it get forgotten the last 3-4 videos?
Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More
That’s the main reason I never slept at weight stations. Who wants to get a knock on the door from D.O.T. asking for all your paperwork. I rather sleep on an exit ramp.
I watched your lights, and all I could se was return to I-75?
Have you ever delivered to Canada
I wish gerdau put blocks in between bundles
I'm sure if you asked the cop to move, he would have!
Do you get any compensation when a load cancels last minute?
ha ha ha ha
@@johngreydanus2033 it's a nice thought isn't it? 🙂
You look tired Dan 😒 and you just came off vacation 🤔
I could tell you were beat sleep good say hi to bailey
Steel loading done correctly.
The truckers path you stop using it?
Is Mercer like a motel, and does Bailey get to stay with you?
How much to pick up my 34 foot school bus in flagstaff and take it to Chelsea mi? Would pay cash . Do not understand how to hire a trucker the the broker system.
what would the height be?
12’ 9” 34 ft long
