    Damn! Damn! Damn! Ive been a new CDL holder and an Owner Operator at the same time.
    In a couple months it will be 7 years of my trucking business and experience.
    The majority of my knowledge started with his “how to find a good used truck” and “buying the right truck for the job” to now wanting to possibly pull a Tanker because Dave said “try it, you might like it”.
    I learned a whole lot from Dave. I still to this day look for advice that he provides on this channel.
    I make sure that I practiced what he preached. He was my online mentor.
    This is huge and sad news.
    RIP Dave and thank you for being you!
    My condolences to the family and thanks for having the respect for us subscribers to let us know that he’ll no longer be here to teach and support us.
    Even though I will miss “its story time”, ,,, I look forward to the new content that you will provide.

    This is extremely saddening, watched Dave since 2016 when I got into trucking and learned so much. Him sharing his knowledge and experiences as well as his stories are invaluable. I always say this is the best trucking channel there is and I always recommend it to the new guys coming in to trucking, so that they can learn some of the tips and tricks of a true professional truck driver because I want them to be safe on the road. Dave’s teachings absolutely helped save lives and made better truck drivers. I learned so much from him that wasn’t taught at school or by the companies I worked for. Rest In Piece Dave, you created the best trucking channel there is and thank you for creating it and leaving it for us and the future generation of professional truck drivers to learn from. Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down! And to his wife Cathy who is just as important to this channel my condolences go out to you and your family.

    So sad and a lost Comrade and Veteran of the Trucking culture and World. He should be awarded a medal of honor for the safety and well being of every trucker ! As a new driver in trucking I learned so much from him at 59 years of age learning to drive at the onslaught of Covid times, from the Rockies, from Florida to White Horse from PEI to Tacoma, I cried some tears for your loss. He sure loved his Peterbuilt !

    I’m in total shock that one of my favorite trucking platforms is gone. Dave, you will be missed and the trucking platform will never be the same with you gone. I thank you for all the wisdom and knowledge you have passed down to me over the last four years I have been a trucker. My condolences 💐 to the Macmillan family.

    I'm really sorry for your loss. Anyone who watches this channel has lost a great source of knowledge. I had a driver trainer a lot like Dave, he didn't just teach me to drive a truck, he taught me to be a truck driver. He probably saved my life because I was only 21 when I started long hauling. I think any young driver should watch every video on this channel as part of their training. I really like the content and think Dave and I would have been buudies if we met up out on the road. Catch you on the backhaul Dave...
