sorry to freak you out, I forgot to put a note with the shipment. You said you were going to work on your trailer so I thought the tape would be helpful. Really enjoy watching your videos. thanks Dan!
Thank You You read my mind because I really did order some that morning. I channeled the order. When I received your from amazon. Again thank You and Thanks for Watching
What you're doing to improve your trailer will pay back in pride and value both. You are saving a TON of money by doing it all yourself! Not many folks can or will do what you are doing, Dan. We all admire what you can do - and all of us wish we could do the same! My best!
My husband and I drove team van several years ago and then he did some gas field hauling in the north east. We plan to retire back into a truck & have enjoyed watching many of your videos. Curious if you are aware that reptile metabolism is much slower than mammals and they do not die for quite some time after decapitation. The most humane thing to do is to crush their skull and kill them quickly, if they absolutely must be killed. I know a lot of people are not aware of this and I'm sure no one wants a living being to suffer unnecessarily.
Never seen a Rattlesnake in person but have tracked down a Copperhead and killed it. It definitely gets the heart rate going dealing with it. Stay Safe and Thanks!
Like your channel. No sugar coating. I pull a flat in NC. Sixteen years. This video is before you purchased your new trailer. I had a 2000 model flat that I worked on almost as much as my truck. I purchased a new one last year so now I just have to deal with the truck. It pulls better because the top of the trailer is firmly secured. The old one was not. The extra rigidity makes a big difference. The guy that welded the old one for me many times told me it was worn out so I finally listened. On the battery. You probably know this but if you smell sulfur or "rotten eggs ", you have a bad battery and you just need to touch them to know which one. It will be hot. Replace asap. But I have overtightened the nuts on them and pulled it loose of the battery. Those nuts are always backing off so I have to tighten them at least once a week. out
Super trucker Dan the snake 🐍 killer 🤣 Not nice those rattlers 🙁 The tape is called conspicuous tape 👍🏻 Yes you've just given yourself a mammoth job with your trailer 🙄 But at least it'll keep you busy instead of just sitting about and you'll entertain us all on TH-cam 👍🏻 Keep safe buddy cheer Stevie 😎🇬🇧
Holy Crap!!!!! Been watching your "down time posts over the past week and I've been doing a lot of wish full thinking, seeing how nice your weather is and dry/warm your yard is, as I try to get some things done up here in eastern Ontario Canada. I just came in from outside, cussing at the snow squall and 34 degree temperature that forced me to stop what I was working on until it passed. Then I saw this post with the freaking rattler!!!!! Damn son.......I'll take the freaking snow over a venomous snake!!!! I've found the motivation to "suck it up" and I'm going back out to finish what I started. The biting cold isn't that much of an issue, compared to a biting snake. Stay safe brother. Oh, a few posts ago, the one where you sharpened your snake shovel. I thought to myself, "I wonder if or how often you actually need a SNAKE KILLEN SHOVEL!" Asked & answered.
This is when I’m glad I live in Minnesota. We have a few rattlers here in Minnesota but mostly along the river. The cold here in winter keeps most of the nasty bugs and reptiles away. (Except mosquitoes) stay safe, enjoy the videos .
I forgot to leave a comment when I watched it yesterday. Between the melting batteries and the snake it was _NOT_ a boring day. Can't wait for the next installment, this quarantine stuff is exciting! Keep safe and keep that shovel closer to you than it was!
I highly recommend a S&W "Governor". This is a very lightweight .45 revolver which should loads, for snakes, with a .410 shotshell. I would not live/walk around on property like yours with one ... I'm not a "gun nut", I don't even like gins much, but frequent snake encounters demand something more than just a shovel. In Arizona, I am sure you can "open carry" without much in the way of permits and another legal mumbo jumbo... The best snake is a dead snake, IMO.
This is what all owner drivers worth their salt should be doing with their trailers and trucks to keep them as fresh as possible in current times. 👍👍👍. Top man
You should carry a 22 with snake shot... Also, a long stick with a y at the end it is great to pin them down and dispatch them… I have rattlesnakes and cotton mouths along with copper heads... My Jack Russel was fearless and saved me one day and attacked a copper head as it would have gotten me, He went to the vet and is okay but now has nerve damage and effects him more now that he is old... I have never been scared of snakes caught them when I was a kid used a long stick with a y at the end to pin them down behind the head and just chop the head right off... I have a fear of spiders and do not like messing with them but snakes let me at them LOL! Thanks for your shows keep them coming, WWG1WGA!
Must be the year of snakes! I've encountered 2 in my business already. I've seen several in the roads around here! I hate snakes period! Even a dead snake bothers me! I used rust- o- leum with a hardner for shine and Japan dryer! Dries in about a hour. And a nice slick shinny finish that dirt won't stick.
Hi Dan love your videos. I'm from New Zealand and we don't have any snakes at all thank goodness . This video put me off visiting America but I will get over it. Our neighbours the Aussies have a good lot of poisonous snakes and a lot of Kiwis get teased a fair bit when visiting Australia.
Sounded like that little fella gave you a good fight....lots banging and stabbing sounds from the other side of the truck. Lol If you fired up the grill and had some cold beer we could make short work of the trailer project while maintaining our social distancing of course. 👍👍
A good old coon tailed rattling worm, they are about as common as fleas on a dog where Dan and Teresa live. Most of the time they let you know when you're too close or they just move away from you. Humans are not a preferred food source for them. Dan handled it very well, he has obviously had plenty of practice.
Oh hell no!!!! Made the blood start pumping😂😂😂😂 Can’t stand a damn rattle snake!! We have those big timber rattle snacks here in the mountains of western NC. We also have copperheads and they make no noise, just strike without warning. Made the hair stand up on my arm!😂😂😂 y’all stay safe!! 👍✌️
Woooooo ....... snake ........ lets hope its big mum and dad aren't waiting until you're lying under the trailer !!! ....... think yourself lucky .... our hedgehogs don't give any warning !!!!! ....... best wishes from the UK.
i have an older Reitnouer with the big steel brackets that hold axle took them off last summer clean and painted but before i painted i sprayed with rubber undercoating have held up well this winter live in the north east
Congratulations on Reaching the 30,000+ Subscribers Milestone on TH-cam. You’re deserving of Tens of Thousands of additional Subscribers. Keep up the Strong Effort with your Channel. 👍
Hi Dan, great footage as always. Was hoping you were ok, as the daily video stopped. Remember cleaning up my own trailer just pride I guess... looking forward to your next upload!
Morning dan. Say hi to teresa me and my wife watched you kill that snake. Good job. Made us nervous watching. Not moving to az. Your going to have trailer looking good. Your a hard working man. Done same as you on my trailers a few times. Be safe you two
I used to carry a 22 revolver loaded with 22 magnum bird shot. Does a real good job and you don’t have to get with in shovel handle distance to do the job.
Dan this old x truck driver doesn't like snakes either. We have copperheads here a they don't warn you. And we have cottonmouth both will bite you with no warning. I got in trouble one time when I was a boy I was mowing the guy next doors lawn and kill a grass snake with the lawnmower he said that snake will not hurt you I said a snake is a snake. But he still didn't like it. Stay safe and God bless.
Great video, Dan. Ya know, I got tired of the rattlers getting too close with the shovel method, so I got some bird shot for my 9mm, and problem solved. Mind you, I was on the ranch, and not in town. :-)
The best thing is, have several snake wires placed around the place. Two pieces of 6-8 foot fencing wires twitched together. They break their backs, and are flexible. I've used shovels and it's not a good idea .
Then just a little suggestion here check your brake lining on your trailer if your brake shoes along good time to change them with the wheels being off. Thanks a lot enjoy your video
If you have vehicles that sit more then a few days, even every day drivers, I'd seriously think about putting battery tenders on the battery. A tender will not under or over-charge the battery and will extend a battery's life two fold or longer. I have five from Tractor Supply. I have mine wired up so I can just plug in what ever vehicle or law equipment I used via ' pig tails' that comes with the units. They will pay you back in battery life and battery security in no time at all. I know I kid a lot about Tractor Supply, however I'm very serious. Take care Dan, guess you are having oven baked snake tonight for dinner LOL.....
sorry to freak you out, I forgot to put a note with the shipment. You said you were going to work on your trailer so I thought the tape would be helpful. Really enjoy watching your videos. thanks Dan!
that's super awesome of you!
Thank You
You read my mind because I really did order some that morning. I channeled the order. When I received your from amazon. Again thank You and Thanks for Watching
That was very nice of you!
No humans were harmed in the making of this video
My earbud cord was tickling my arm when SuperTruckerDan took those first stabs at the snake. I nearly flung my phone across the room.
Crazy.

Imagine that snake slithering up into your truck cab and finding a nice warm spot in your sleeping blankets>>>>>YIKES!!!!
👍😉. Glad see you ok. Lots work. Dan do the rattlesnake step 😂. 👍😉

Rattle snakes juggling tires there is no end to your talents thanks for sharing pull toy here
I am a retired truck driver, did flatbed and tanker, I really enjoy you video.
Lot needs to be done so be careful out there and make sure that snake shovel is sharp 👍
DOT likes a clean shiny truck, on the note they like a quick and easy inspection
No rattlesnakes were harmed during the filming of this Vlog. Nice work Super trucker!
The cowboys always manage to get the rattler in one shot, you need to improve your shovel action Dan. lol
Dang, I live in Edmonton Canada, worst thing is mosquitoes!

It's a good thing you got the shovel when you did, I almost ran away screaming like a little girl :)
LLS guydhaamm to funny, right
Man, those snakes could be hiding anywhere......I'd be moving🤗🤗.....those stall mats make great mudflaps👍👍

Sir Dan !! Have FUN with your projects & SNAKES as you must have a den close by ??? ""KEEP IT SAFE "" !!!
Great video, thanks Dan! Looking forward to see the finished product for the trailer.
I love truck/trailer projects. Thanks for sharing.
Dan, good 'snake ears'. You definitely earned both beers tonight!!
Sounded like that little fella gave you a good fight....lots banging and stabbing sounds from the other side of the truck. Lol If you fired up the grill and had some cold beer we could make short work of the trailer project while maintaining our social distancing of course. 👍👍

Hi Dan, great footage as always. Was hoping you were ok, as the daily video stopped. Remember cleaning up my own trailer just pride I guess... looking forward to your next upload!
Yeah I agree fontaines seem rustier. I pull an East. It looks good but man have I had electrical issues over the last year whenever it got wet.
Cool stuff Dan 👍😎
Great video Dan. Stay safe out there in the yard.
Morning dan. Say hi to teresa me and my wife watched you kill that snake. Good job. Made us nervous watching. Not moving to az. Your going to have trailer looking good. Your a hard working man. Done same as you on my trailers a few times. Be safe you two
Dude, you’re a good dancer. I guarantee your head will be on a swivel for the next month!
Paint the chain hooks...1/2 black with trailer 1/2 white with wheel.
Thanks Dan. This was a thriller! Probably using big rubber boots rest of the quarantain, with that much equipment work.
another nice thing about Alaska, no snakes!!
I used to carry a 22 revolver loaded with 22 magnum bird shot. Does a real good job and you don’t have to get with in shovel handle distance to do the job.
Spade+ SuperTruckerDan = SuperManTruckerDan! 👍
Looking forward to the paint job.
Thanks for watching
Dan this old x truck driver doesn't like snakes either. We have copperheads here a they don't warn you. And we have cottonmouth both will bite you with no warning.

But he still didn't like it.
Stay safe and God bless.
Good job Dan!
Thanks for watching
Wooooo that was a close one Dan.
With the wheels off now is a good time to check the trailers brake shoes
Great video, Dan. Ya know, I got tired of the rattlers getting too close with the shovel method, so I got some bird shot for my 9mm, and problem solved. Mind you, I was on the ranch, and not in town. :-)
Oh yea......9mm is better than my 22 magnum bird shot.
Dan u need 2 install battery tenders on the old Pete will keep batteries fresh use them on my boats.
Its amazing how almost everything we do in life has to be as difficult as it can possibly be
Great progress Dan, I can relate to these rattlers as I lived in N.Mexico for a while I killed hundreds. Stay safe. Cheers mate.
Thanks for watching
good job done on the snake
Thanks for watching
great video. watch out for them rattlers.
Would put the tarps and gear up on top of the trailer keep the snakes out of it
Looks like you have gotten your money out of it. Good luck.
Hi Dan, I'm glad that the rattlesnake didn't bite you. I'm enjoying watching the videos. Please say hi to your wife Teresa from my wife and I.
Thanks for watching
Wow watch them rattlesnakes Dan 👍
Thanks for watching
The best thing is, have several snake wires placed around the place. Two pieces of 6-8 foot fencing wires twitched together. They break their backs, and are flexible. I've used shovels and it's not a good idea .
I picked up one of those judge revolvers just for this very problem.
Wow! Too many places for snakes to hide around there, they love pallets!
Dan, don't forget to check your gear for snakes before reloading your stuff and putting the tires back on. snakes love shade.
Every time he shows a pallet on the ground I think what you said lol
Ten step Dan that seems to be the case with me also ten or more steps to get most things done Lol
I'm sure there are rattle snakes in Tekonsha too so be careful everywhere you go!
Then just a little suggestion here check your brake lining on your trailer if your brake shoes along good time to change them with the wheels being off. Thanks a lot enjoy your video
Might be time to get rattle snake prof boots, Bass pro shops, Cablaes and Academy sell them for about $120-$200 .
If you have vehicles that sit more then a few days, even every day drivers, I'd seriously think about putting battery tenders on the battery. A tender will not under or over-charge the battery and will extend a battery's life two fold or longer. I have five from Tractor Supply.

They will pay you back in battery life and battery security in no time at all. I know I kid a lot about Tractor Supply, however I'm very serious. Take care Dan, guess you are having oven baked snake tonight for dinner LOL.....
Good snake hunt, trailer will look nice after it is done.
Darn snakes, Be safe great video
Yummy Rattlesnake Chili !!
Boyyyyy you got after that snake 😂😂😂💪🏼😎
30k. Congratulations
Dan, if I had the money I'd buy you a brand new Petercar & a lit up spread axle Conestoga!
I half expected you to have that snake latched onto your ankle!!! I freaking hate snakes
Good job Dan maybe a new channel " The Rattle Snake Hunter" ( LOL ) Stay safe
man when you yelled snake I was scared for you from herre in Florida. I hate snakes. Got a pygmy rattle here a few years ago.
Wow that was close!
Dan, how about fitting spray reducing mud-flaps ?, makes all the difference to vehicles behind, and when overtaking.
Safari Dan! How many colored shirts you have?? You're home now!! Lol
be nice if you has a sand blaster to prep those frame rails
Try fluid film coating on the inside of the frame
That snake will get your heart pumping early in the morning! WLBS
He saw the sharpened shovel and knew he was toast
lol
Thanks for watching
Brave Man ,I saw people running from snake a mile away
Hi Dan, How about an up date on freight volumes. I run spot market and I'm curious to see how contract freight doing during this Pandemic.
Some fancy dancing with that snake!!!
Like your real life stuff on here
