@@jacob5014 Well since I have retired from driving for Schneider National, I have no reason to prove anything. Especially, the long trips to Laredo through Houston and San Antonio, and to West Memphis, where their other terminal is located.
Dave, you sparked a fire for me! I started at Tennessee Truck Driving School 3 weeks ago and got my CDL last week Saturday! I hope we get to meet on the road! Every CFI truck I see I look to see if it’s you and Billie Joe!!!
Man I wait every week to see your new vids! You guys make a great team. I’m otr myself so I can def relate to your experiences. Stay safe and keep up the good work guys!!
What a difference from that other Morton salt warehouse. Every day is a new adventure. Great seeing y'all AS USUAL STAY WELL STAY SAFE & TAKE CARE !!!! FRANKIE LONG ISLAND
The three places I used to see tons of lizards was OKC west, south Dallas, and west Memphis. Don't know if they are still there or not, don't stop in those locations anymore. I'll stop before or after. 👍🏼
Years ago my dad had a hilarious story about a midget lot lizard😂😂😂 cops were chasing her and she was just ducking her head under trailers untill my dads load since it was a lowboy
Hey I know where you’re at. Close to my neck of the woods. Med-I-na, Ohio not the nicest area... I don’t really like that TA but at least they have some food options.
Billie Jo does have some amazing backing skills and she should take the camera in hand and do some filming of Dave . Is it just me or has anybody gotten a response to comments or questions on this channel ? I've seen a number of people ask if Dave actually drives but I've never seen a response to the question ......

Im debating going to you guys (CFI) I love the kenworth trucks in the fleet! also I am forced to move from Schneider so im looking around and only have a year dedicated 40 miles south of boston in massachusetts so yea..... been watching ya since you started as well!
Omg twice now I’ve come close to seeing you two on the highway I past you by in New York on 219 and I wasn’t to far away from the salt plant in rittman definitely an interesting place to pick up from. I’ve had to spend the night in the empty trailer lot a couple times. Stay safe out there drivers!
Billie Joe and Dave, let me know if yall are in and around the I-20 corridor. I normally run through West Memphis up I-55 and down to Laredo. Sometimes I run through Hotlanta. Keep on truckin'!
Many customers require us to slide our tandems all the way to the rear when loading or unloading because it gives the forklifts a solid base to drive on. If the tandems are slid forward, the rear of the trailer can dip down several feet when the forklift enters or exits then rapidly spring back up causing the forklift to tip forward and possibly drop the load it's carrying. In some cases, your trailer won't be at the right height to fit into the dock with the tandems slid forward.
They’re usually close by but the truck stops are so down on them they don’t come on the premises any more. Hollar at them on the communications device lol!
@@tmo.48 It wasn’t always that way. Back in the day they were thick as flies in truck stops. You couldn’t sleep for them climbing up on your truck knocking on your window.
Yea man I've been down some wild roads, sometimes I wonder if they are really legit? Gps says yea but a couple I've had to stop and let on coming cars go by so I can take the corners
Hey guys I'm joining CFI on the 25th will be in Joplin for orientation if around would like to meet you both been watching ur videos for a while I enjoy the ty
Looked like a Hogg path going in that place .Bj had all under control thow she does a great job great channel you all have really enjoy your videos 👍👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember that video of you driving in the industrial city where it was trucks only and it reminded me of American truck simulator multiplayer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I pulled up to a location to pick up a trailer, No trucks were at the location, I was happy, I see a tractor drop off a fresh trailer for me, I go to pull up to it and out of nowhere a dude in another truck cuts me off and backs into it. I am like, what the hell dude! He says, my trailer. I get all pissed and ask what the hell makes him think he is ahead of me, In my mind I was there first, He points across the filed a half mile away where 5 trucks are in a line, he says, the line starts over their buddy. Oh Shit! My bad.
Hey Dave. I have a question for you. You may or may not know but I'll give it a go. I'm in Florida and don't see a ton of CFI here. Now if I come on board with CFI how can I get home time if there is not alot of CFI here. Thanks for your time
They would send you a load delivering as close as possible to your house and then deadhead you home after you deliver it. There’s some cfi customers in Florida, but not too many. Probably a non issue but a recruiter could tell ya for sure.
That is the part of trucking I dislike the most. Getting to a new location and not having a clue where to go or how things work there or who to talk to etc.
Just curious how long it took you to get to the "front" of the line?? 😂 At least you have each other to keep entertaining us. 😁. 🐝 watching for the next ride. Stay safe Billie Jo n Dave.
Been watching your channel Sence September, I start CDL school in linden NJ at the driving academy on May 2. Any pointers ya can give me. Also, I’m interested in CFI. Road test is May 28th.
Maverick is getting the mirror technology installed on their trucks. Makes it much safer driving at night and in inclement weather. Some of their drivers were concerned if it failed on the road. System has 6 backup systems, I believe. The only complaint I have seen from their drivers is positioning of sun visors at time can be problematic. But the majority of their drivers like them.
Y’all got some balls going down some of these roads, ngl I wouldn’t go down that 😂 I don’t like going down 2 line highways, definitely ain’t going down there 😂
AT ONE TIME WHEN THIS WAS A 76 TRUCK STOP..... BEFORE TA AND FLYING PILOT J TOOK OVER ALL THE TRUCK STOPS IN OHIO THIS WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST WERE STATE ROTE 224 AND INTERSTATE 71 CAME TOGETHER
Billie Joe, I am amazed at your ability to back up a truck. Like watching your videos.
I think she needs to film dave driving for once
Its not really that hard to back one up.
@@tadamolan4698 Let's see you back one then. It' NoT ThAt HaRd
@@jacob5014 Well since I have retired from driving for Schneider National, I have no reason to prove anything. Especially, the long trips to Laredo through Houston and San Antonio, and to West Memphis, where their other terminal is located.
@@tadamolan4698 Stop making you a fake life kid. and Automatic are easy to back and drive. Try a 389 with a 18 speed.
Dave singing and humming is awesome. So relaxing to hear
We need to get you a waterproof turn cam so we can watch you back up while its raining. Thanks for the video Dave!
hey yo Dave its me the guy with the scooter. it was super great to meet you and Billy joe today. hope to see you all out there again.
Dave, you sparked a fire for me! I started at Tennessee Truck Driving School 3 weeks ago and got my CDL last week Saturday! I hope we get to meet on the road! Every CFI truck I see I look to see if it’s you and Billie Joe!!!
Congrats. Enjoy seeing the country.
Congratulations and good luck to you!!
Man I wait every week to see your new vids! You guys make a great team.
I’m otr myself so I can def relate to your experiences.
Stay safe and keep up the good work guys!!
I love Dave's "It's Raining Men" rendition!
I didn't know there was handicap parking in trucking...that's awesome!
What a difference from that other Morton salt warehouse. Every day is a new adventure. Great seeing y'all AS USUAL STAY WELL STAY SAFE & TAKE CARE !!!! FRANKIE LONG ISLAND
Wasn't Dave going to do a Q&A at one point?
I remember him saying that. Would be cool to see.
We ain't got time for all day BOI
Are you going to do a q&a Eric K.. Give this man a break…
Those roads were horrible. I'm glad you two found your way there. Fun adventure. Stay safe:)
Remember what mortons salt says when it rains it pours! Great video keep up the good work, that's truckin!!
The three places I used to see tons of lizards was OKC west, south Dallas, and west Memphis. Don't know if they are still there or not, don't stop in those locations anymore. I'll stop before or after. 👍🏼
I have had knocks on my door at the Go Mart, Charleston WV and the Love’s just north of Dothan AL.
Years ago my dad had a hilarious story about a midget lot lizard😂😂😂 cops were chasing her and she was just ducking her head under trailers untill my dads load since it was a lowboy
I took loads out of there for 4 years and it is always packed with trucks 47444 was the load wight!
Vanco truck stop in Stockton CA is lot lizard central. I had to get emergency fuel there once. Only place ive seen it.
Great job backing guys especially in the rain hats off to you billy joe
Must be a fun toad in the Winter.
Hey I know where you’re at. Close to my neck of the woods. Med-I-na, Ohio not the nicest area... I don’t really like that TA but at least they have some food options.
Morton Salt, when it rains it pours. Stay safe my friends.
God bless you both🙏.
Happy Easter to you guys. Dave could you let me know if you had to go out the same way. Stay Safe and God Bless you both. PEACE...

Make more sense if Dave drove too--cover miles quicker and get more miles/bigger pay checks

@@martinshelley2332 well there was a video where he said he was quit cfi so I believe his gf took over because of that
I’ve been out here for awhile, and I’ve seen lot lizards in north Memphis and I think it was tar heel nc
I always saw them back in the 70's and 80's
Hell I had one approach me in my 4 Wheeler one time at a truck stop in Whittier California. Hahaha
Dave haven't u been there at that salt place b4? It was a while ago. Way b4 u met Billy joe
I know that TA. Used to drive in and out of the Seville Schneider Pumpkin Patch near there 20 years ago
Im debating going to you guys (CFI)
I love the kenworth trucks in the fleet! also I am forced to move from Schneider so im looking around and only have a year dedicated 40 miles south of boston in massachusetts so yea.....

Thought of you guys this morning when I left a trailer at the Walmart DC in Plainfield IN. That was a big fire...
The Morton salt in Arizona was decent. Even though someone else from cfi took the load that I was supposed to get, lol
Billie Joe and Dave, let me know if yall are in and around the I-20 corridor. I normally run through West Memphis up I-55 and down to Laredo. Sometimes I run through Hotlanta. Keep on truckin'!
For us non-truckers, why do you slide the tandems? Part if I think might be maneuvering..,.but when backing into a dock? Better weight distribution?
Many customers require us to slide our tandems all the way to the rear when loading or unloading because it gives the forklifts a solid base to drive on. If the tandems are slid forward, the rear of the trailer can dip down several feet when the forklift enters or exits then rapidly spring back up causing the forklift to tip forward and possibly drop the load it's carrying. In some cases, your trailer won't be at the right height to fit into the dock with the tandems slid forward.
Thank you for not taking the handicap spot. I am handicap and have a hard to me finding a spot

Looks like you'd know that, no offense

You're a lucky man Dave.
I saw a CFI truck in Auburn Maine last month going to walmart
When it rains I always turn on my mirror heaters to clear them up..
Never heard of ya man, but I can assure you, youre my new favorite youtuber.
I work at the Blue Beacon there
I’m seeing a lot of CFI trucks in ct always looking to see if it’s you and Billy joe
that orange semi that passed you when leaving truck stop that was kokosing
Yeah Dave.BillyJo is showing you up.You need to start driving!What ever happened to your Q&A with her?Been waiting for it.
Be careful god bless you both
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember that video of you driving in the industrial city where it was trucks only and it reminded me of American truck simulator multiplayer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You and Billy Joe need to get you a squeegee like I carry in my truck to wipe your mirrors, it helps especially when backing.

Handicap, We can't park there on video 😅🤣😂
Great videos
Another great video
Dude just saw you while in diberville
Dave, that looks like a flatbed steel hauler road.
Y’all got some balls going down some of these roads, ngl I wouldn’t go down that 😂 I don’t like going down 2 line highways, definitely ain’t going down there 😂
Whats with all the fire hydrants on the road to Morton salt with nothing around them
YOU GOT IT RIGHT THE SECOND TIME
dave do you drive the truck?
GPS took you one weird way that’s for sure. Theirs a much easier way into that place. Used to haul in an out of there
wish we could see and talk to billy jo more as it would be nice to see what she thinks of dave's driving
Hey Dave I wanted to ask you why did you stop driving ?
