Really nice meeting you John, had good time with you...when I left, just down the street, I was sitting at a stop light, and here was this old man, 80's I think, dirty clothing, and a sign that said "hungry' and he looked hungry, walking with a bad limp, so I rolled down the window and gave him 10 bux..wow, he did a little dance!. Made my day...
That was really nice of you to do we help people in need of help a lot on November 3rd 2018 I walk out of the store and I see a wallet laying in the parking lot I picked it up and there had to be 750.00 800.00 I look at the id and I noticed that it's the person that was in front of me in line so I tried to stop them before they pulled out of the parking lot and he wouldn't stop so I walk in And I get the manager and I have her put it in the store Safe until the guy came back and he left a 20 dollar finders fee with the manager to give to me for returning his wallet a week later I am at work and some one gives me a back pack I look in the backpack and there's 100 dollars like really dam thank you Lord the funny thing is my wife and I looked through the whole backpack and there's nothing in it we looked in every pocket nothing in it the next morning picked up the backpack and there's 100 dollars like wow how did the 100 dollars get in the backpack when the day before there was nothing in it
It's a grand thing to share. I usually like to offer them a meal. It's better than giving cash. So many living with a bottle and no food! `Have to remember we are accountable for our acts, and when we support others in error! Giving a nice meal and even some extra food to go would be more than worth it for that day!. You never know where your money is getting used!!!
You sure are easy to get along with JBG. $50 = 2 or 4 pallets .Wow . I know your company has built in lumper rates but dang i end up paying it at check-out(grocery store) . What a great country . Owned by Walmart and Buffet !! Happy Sailing BTW !!
Don't know why your embarrassed about your backing. You done just fine!! I haul out of all of Cali and there is some pretty messed up docks. You actually had a pretty easy one. Take Care Buddy, and keep up the good work!!
I took a trip down memory lane and watched an old video I surmise a bit before I subscribed. I subscribed just after you got Baby Blue and working of ADL...
That happens to me sometimes. I get a beautiful set up, come in, and just can't get lined up without several pull ups. I send a message to dispatch to add money to my card, fill out the check , call to record it, and that's it. That's a heck of a process you have.
Hey blue 23 and a half years I've been driving and I delivered to Americold in Modesto for about the tenth time funny how they give you the doors in the mud pit every time well done.
Any way we can get more of these vids where you interact with warehouse staff or shippers? It shows another side of trucking. Thanks for the vids, JBG.
Don't worry JBG nothing to be embarrassed about, it's only on TH-cam with 39.752 views. Not like anyone will notice. lol I'm kidding you do good work and I enjoy the videos.
LOL i do the same thing on open docks!!!! There is no reference point and it sucks!!!! but super tight places with trucks and trailers everywhere i can hit first try no problem!!! LOL
It happens to everyone... I wouldn't be embarrassed. The majority of people can't back with a boat trailer lol!! Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there JBG travels! :)
4:00 on is the most helpful view of backing a trailer I have ever seen! It's true POV of the driver! Btw, is it becoming common place for trucks to be automatic or is it still rare?
JBG TRAVELS. How do you like the automatic KW? Im going to company whom has it and I'm curious to know if there any different than the international or freight liner.
So sad . You get paid while the wheels turn . Yet you worked for over 3 hours at that place. You were away from home sitting in a truck with the keys so you were legally in care of the truck which means you were doing more work then a security guard still for over 3 hours you get paid zero dollars. Things need to change. The drivers should be paid for the time they have to sit and wait and for the time away from home.
And he has to pay 50$ so they can unload THEIR load. Its their stuff but the carrier has to pay to get it unloaded off their trailer,.How does that make any scense.These Food whrs's are all a bunch of fucken crooks. And the carriers just let it happen. They get paid while the driver doesn't.
Hey JBG bro. Why dont you fix a wireless cam at the back of the trailer... so you use it when backing up ? and take it off when you are swapping trailers! ;)
Assuming you still don't know, a lumper fee is a fee that truckers pay to have freight taken off their trailer. So like I went to McLane, they will charge me x amount of dollars to have their frieght taken off my trailer. Bit of a scam. I refuse loads that go to warehouses with lumpers.
Enjoyed the video, "Island Boy" :-) LOL Sorry, JBG I just had to say it ! Thanks for wearing the hat cam. I have never heard of electronic chocks before.
I notice you steer before you move? As a rookie I was always told that’s how you end up oversteering when your backing. Always looking for more pointers. I still avoid truck stops with few parking spots.
I guess, with a reefer load, you need to make sure your trailer forms a tight seal against the cushions. Who cares how many pull-ups you do. You are safe without damaging anything
I delivered this place in Modesto before. Delivered to the door that Marten was backed into in the dirt lot. Took them forever to check me in and even then they admitted that they did not have resources to correctly audit the drop. I was a hot crappy day in Modesto.
Why do we pay the reciever to unload their own freight? Good Question. Well In America We get paid to haul freight. Then we pay someone to unload it. The shipper covers the cost of the unloading. The shipper adds the cost of unloading to the cost of the product to the reciever. Therefore the product costs more and the extra cost is passed on to the consumer. This is what we call corporate responsibility. Making sure everyone makes money except the one who does the work.
Durango Dave I'm not seeing any lines painted in which to guide the driver in his setting up. Also, even though this isn't a tight space, it is less than desirable.
I have driven a Million Miles proably more.I am a Traveling salesman raised on a farm driving tractors and trucks since I was 7.. I still cannot back back up for snot.My brother is a Truck Driver and my father was one.They said you are not a real truck driver until you park in NYC.
I back to a dock that was different angle than the building I had to pull up about the same. that's p.a. for you. I had to be escorted in because of residential area, bad directions. pick up a load insulation. I see houses I'm not just going in. Here's a free one if you go with in 50 mile of Canada in Montana to pick up Amish furniture by GPS stay on the pavement. best load I ever did had three stops one in Los Vegas and two in Texas by way of the Rio Grande river Texas border.
man just to get a $50 com check is a lot of work itself...lol. Where i drive for all we had to do is just send a freeform message asking for lumper fee amount and they put it in our comdata card which we get the com check registered.
wow, I never knew you had to deal with computers/electronics/lumpers! I just thought you jump into a truck and drive on...! life is complicated sometimes, huh?! this "lumper" business sounds pretty shady to me.
With the ELD's there is no reason why a driver can't get paid by the hour . Now they know exactly when you start and finish your day just like a local driver.
According to the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (Section 15), it's a federal offence to coerce delivery drivers to use a lumper service. Seemingly, it's supposed to be optional. The guy basically assessed the bill of lading, the load, and told him the cost.
Because the drivers and trucking companies are sheep since the deregulation era flood and it got even worse with the flood of the school indoctrination drivers of the CDL era.
It's the lumper fee. It's an interesting racket where a third party comes in and makes the delivery company pay for labour cost of unloading the truck.
Comdata is located in Nashville, which is my hometown. I have friends that work there. Now I understand what they do. Who decides how much you pay? And what are you paying for?
That guy based on rates their boss gives them. And the delivery company is paying the lumper service to unload the load at the delivery location. The lumper gets paid a small wage based on that.
Marian Western the companies have a chart of cases vs pricing as well as per case to unload.most companies pay cause if a driver gets hurt it costs whole lot of money,
Its funny how a guy can have millions of miles under him and still have trouble backing in on occasion. Did you ever get it backed in then the shipper tells you to pull out and open your doors?
There would be plenty of room if the stupid company would take away the concrete barricades and the metal fence that's just rediculous how these places know truckers need the room to menuever and they make it hard and tight for an 85 ft vehicle to menuever
Really nice meeting you John, had good time with you...when I left, just down the street, I was sitting at a stop light, and here was this old man, 80's I think, dirty clothing, and a sign that said "hungry' and he looked hungry, walking with a bad limp, so I rolled down the window and gave him 10 bux..wow, he did a little dance!.

You are a good man, Bill Mathies.
Thanks you guys, I should have given him 20 bux...after I left I wish would have...
That was really nice of you to do we help people in need of help a lot on November 3rd 2018 I walk out of the store and I see a wallet laying in the parking lot I picked it up and there had to be 750.00 800.00 I look at the id and I noticed that it's the person that was in front of me in line so I tried to stop them before they pulled out of the parking lot and he wouldn't stop so I walk in And I get the manager and I have her put it in the store Safe until the guy came back and he left a 20 dollar finders fee with the manager to give to me for returning his wallet a week later I am at work and some one gives me a back pack I look in the backpack and there's 100 dollars like really dam thank you Lord the funny thing is my wife and I looked through the whole backpack and there's nothing in it we looked in every pocket nothing in it the next morning picked up the backpack and there's 100 dollars like wow how did the 100 dollars get in the backpack when the day before there was nothing in it

Wow, the trucks are really nice now a days. Trucking has sure changed since I was driving. There are some days you just can't hit the dock.
Don't know why your embarrassed about your backing. You done just fine!! I haul out of all of Cali and there is some pretty messed up docks. You actually had a pretty easy one. Take Care Buddy, and keep up the good work!!
I took a trip down memory lane and watched an old video I surmise a bit before I subscribed. I subscribed just after you got Baby Blue and working of ADL...
That there's a perfessional truck driver right there! Yup! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't be embarrassed JBG. You're amongst friends.
Thank you for making videos of you backing into dock doors I love those videos
That happens to me sometimes. I get a beautiful set up, come in, and just can't get lined up without several pull ups. I send a message to dispatch to add money to my card, fill out the check , call to record it, and that's it. That's a heck of a process you have.
Hey blue 23 and a half years I've been driving and I delivered to Americold in Modesto for about the tenth time funny how they give you the doors in the mud pit every time well done.
that is cool. I did not know you could make a comcheck. I always had to be at a truck stop and wait for one.
Any way we can get more of these vids where you interact with warehouse staff or shippers? It shows another side of trucking. Thanks for the vids, JBG.
Your labor is appreciated, man.
E aprendido muchas cosas de este señor me gusta su manera de conducir y lo precavido que es buen trabajo
Hi,
Nice video !
One question: Why must you pay 50.00 $ ?
Best regards...
Don't worry JBG nothing to be embarrassed about, it's only on TH-cam with 39.752 views. Not like anyone will notice. lol I'm kidding you do good work and I enjoy the videos.
His driving skills make JB & Swift drivers look like geniuses . lol
LOL i do the same thing on open docks!!!! There is no reference point and it sucks!!!! but super tight places with trucks and trailers everywhere i can hit first try no problem!!! LOL
It happens to everyone... I wouldn't be embarrassed. The majority of people can't back with a boat trailer lol!! Keep the videos coming and stay safe out there JBG travels! :)
4:00 on is the most helpful view of backing a trailer I have ever seen! It's true POV of the driver! Btw, is it becoming common place for trucks to be automatic or is it still rare?
Most companies are going to automatics because it is cheaper on there insurance. They still train you on a manual but automatic is the way now.
Appreciate the inside look at how you get a com-check.
Gord,
Vancouver
JBG TRAVELS. How do you like the automatic KW? Im going to company whom has it and I'm curious to know if there any different than the international or freight liner.

Kind of like the Miliatry.Hurry Up and Wait.
Oh man you work in the wrong country. At my work i get payed when i start in the morning until finish in the evening
Hey JBG bro. Why dont you fix a wireless cam at the back of the trailer... so you use it when backing up ? and take it off when you are swapping trailers! ;)
saludos cordiales desde España eres un crack un abrazo
You got it in there, thats all that matters!
JBG, can you please explain to us what this lumper crazy fee is all about? Much appreciated. Love these vids!
Assuming you still don't know, a lumper fee is a fee that truckers pay to have freight taken off their trailer. So like I went to McLane, they will charge me x amount of dollars to have their frieght taken off my trailer. Bit of a scam. I refuse loads that go to warehouses with lumpers.
Wel trucking co. are based from WI right? what kind of recording device do you used for this video? looks great.
Enjoyed the video, "Island Boy" :-) LOL Sorry, JBG I just had to say it ! Thanks for wearing the hat cam. I have never heard of electronic chocks before.
Damn, give me a pallet Jack, I’ll do it for free.
And then you will be waiting 3 hours for them to count it and sign BOL because you didn't pay.
GOD THAT LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S MY TURN! But i know that it's not all fun and games.lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣jbg is having a blonde moment..🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛
Good video interesting job a trucker in the States.There is more to it that meets the eye.
I notice you steer before you move? As a rookie I was always told that’s how you end up oversteering when your backing. Always looking for more pointers. I still avoid truck stops with few parking spots.
Miss Ginny Bell not always the case.its a good way to stop from hitting anything or another truck
I guess, with a reefer load, you need to make sure your trailer forms a tight seal against the cushions. Who cares how many pull-ups you do. You are safe without damaging anything
If people stopped paying these lumpers their wouldn't be any and the receiver would have to do it I stopped paying them 20 years ago
Don't be embarrassed, you did better then that guy in the truck with all the chrome. You know some days things just don't go right!!!
I like your video, and I like your baby blue rig. 😄
Thanks Frederick
I delivered this place in Modesto before. Delivered to the door that Marten was backed into in the dirt lot. Took them forever to check me in and even then they admitted that they did not have resources to correctly audit the drop. I was a hot crappy day in Modesto.
Ah the long ago memories that never goes away haha
Truth... Whether you like it or not :)
I would love to see a video of what happens after you pull into a dock
I'm really excited and enjoy your videos thanks a lot bro
Why do we pay the reciever to unload their own freight? Good Question. Well In America We get paid to haul freight. Then we pay someone to unload it. The shipper covers the cost of the unloading.

$50,- for? Unloading? You Guys are crazy? But good to see this! Informatif! Hard time for you guys!
Hi my friend, what kinda GPS are you using and can you rate it?
Rand McNally overdrive 8 pro and it works great
That car pulling through the gate threw the rhythm off.
How many extra miles did you get trying to dock that trailer??? Some guys will do anything for a few extra bucks!!!! Ha Ha...
Hahaha
Durango Dave I'm not seeing any lines painted in which to guide the driver in his setting up. Also, even though this isn't a tight space, it is less than desirable.
I could'nt see ,but don't they have any parking lines on the pavement?
Look like you're having trouble backing up in there❤
At least you had the courage to record that backup, but I've been there done that😁😉,fifty bucks to load you right.
10:40 Very nice inside the Forbidden Lair more of these plz thx
Are you having fun backing into that dock John? Lol
Not so much lol 😝
no money in trucking my son gave it up.he said workers at wall mart makes more money.
I have driven a Million Miles proably more.I am a Traveling salesman raised on a farm driving tractors and trucks since I was 7.. I still cannot back back up for snot.My brother is a Truck Driver and my father was one.They said you are not a real truck driver until you park in NYC.
Hamakua Coast Ookala to Waipio, was even there when the mills were still going....Shoots Den
Kudos to you for posting this video.
all those pull ups I kept thinking when are you gonna get out and open the doorslol
I back to a dock that was different angle than the building I had to pull up about the same. that's p.a. for you. I had to be escorted in because of residential area, bad directions. pick up a load insulation. I see houses I'm not just going in. Here's a free one if you go with in 50 mile of Canada in Montana to pick up Amish furniture by GPS stay on the pavement. best load I ever did had three stops one in Los Vegas and two in Texas by way of the Rio Grande river Texas border.
man just to get a $50 com check is a lot of work itself...lol. Where i drive for all we had to do is just send a freeform message asking for lumper fee amount and they put it in our comdata card which we get the com check registered.
Dude, thanks for the video. I am looking into trucking. My concern is your breathing heavily. Please consider cardio exercises.
no need to be embarassed. sometimes i can thread the neddle and then theres days like this. all good JBG
wow that parking Lot is unreal welcome to CA lol
Happens to the people who are among the best too!
JBG and BLUE need to have a quick talk asto which way to go!
@6:43... We ALL got dem dayz, Driver !
Welcome back to Cali, Modesto is not to far from where I live. San Jose. lol
Like the Kenworth Truck.
12:37 where can I find a file folder, or what is it called correctly?
Some days we are rockstars somedays we cant find our bottoms with both hand and someone guideing us
6:40 This is always happened to me in Euro Truck Simulator 2
Turning the wheel to much John, little increments!
That was my thought, but I guess nearly everyone has their bad backs occasionally, eh?
Pre-positioning is critical.
To misquote the late Steve Irwin: "One bad set-up could. prove. fatal!" :P
wow, I never knew you had to deal with computers/electronics/lumpers!
I just thought you jump into a truck and drive on...!
life is complicated sometimes, huh?!
this "lumper" business sounds pretty shady to me.
that was pretty kool riding along side of you bro
John why doesn't the receiver of the shipment employ there own employees to unload there own receivable good's ?
Why are they making you pay to unload their s*** that is ridiculous
With the ELD's there is no reason why a driver can't get paid by the hour . Now they know exactly when you start and finish your day just like a local driver.
i do that sometime when there are no other trailers around, when other trailers around i hit it one time
happens to the best of us John
Never an easy thing.
That looks like a odd spot for a door, like it was a last min add on.
You're still better than me....until I get my CDL....hehheehehee LOL :)
why do you have to pay them to get thier own load?
According to the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (Section 15), it's a federal offence to coerce delivery drivers to use a lumper service. Seemingly, it's supposed to be optional.
The guy basically assessed the bill of lading, the load, and told him the cost.
Because the drivers and trucking companies are sheep since the deregulation era flood and it got even worse with the flood of the school indoctrination drivers of the CDL era.
what kind of phone mount is that?
hey JBG do you known blue has a chipped windshield on the driver side.
very cool video. $50.00 to pay them why?
It's the lumper fee. It's an interesting racket where a third party comes in and makes the delivery company pay for labour cost of unloading the truck.
Andrew Haverson ok I am wondering about that. thank you sir
No problem. :)
I think it was the driver that embarrest Ol´blue! Not the other way around.. hehe!!
This is americold . i am here as i type this. In dock e10. What a pain in the ass. Don't even get me started on the lumper fee.
That's me brother....work as a Robot but I do few things for more bucks...
Comdata is located in Nashville, which is my hometown. I have friends that work there. Now I understand what they do. Who decides how much you pay? And what are you paying for?
That guy based on rates their boss gives them. And the delivery company is paying the lumper service to unload the load at the delivery location. The lumper gets paid a small wage based on that.
So the $50 goes toward paying the guys that unload the truck? Why does the company not pay that? What is a LUMPER, exactly?
Usually a Mexican immigrant who will work for next to nothing to unload the palettes.
Marian Western the companies have a chart of cases vs pricing as well as per case to unload.most companies pay cause if a driver gets hurt it costs whole lot of money,
did you ever wonder what the term LUMPER came about? pass it on if you know JBG I always wanted to know that for some reason
just like backing a boat at the dock
Hey Blue.. has to have a little fun pokin fun at ya Johnny B Good
Its funny how a guy can have millions of miles under him and still have trouble backing in on occasion. Did you ever get it backed in then the shipper tells you to pull out and open your doors?
Hello there John from Westminster MD
We will see what happens when ELD's are finally here.
There would be plenty of room if the stupid company would take away the concrete barricades and the metal fence that's just rediculous how these places know truckers need the room to menuever and they make it hard and tight for an 85 ft vehicle to menuever
good job driver
so parking on the ramp? dust "professional driver!
I don't know if you were screwing around with that dock or what. I sincerely hope so.
only 4 pallets. should of done it yourself?
Good to meet u
