Safe travels 🚛 💨 💨 💨💨 💨
Welcome back my friend and great to see you and Bailey again
Dan I've been missing your videos safe travels stay safe May God bless you.
Lucky Dan your not in Switzerland, 1 us gallon of Shell 10w 40 oil at gas station works out converted $91.60, or if you need 1 litre of shell 10w 60 its $42.65 there are 4lt in US gallon for a crazy $170.60, was Riding through on my way to Italy from UK.
😮
HOLY WOW !!!!!
Diesel in UK is $8.80 per us gallon
@@seagullsbtn i feel lucky diesel in Japan is around 90cent L petrol around $1.20 L
@@seagullsbtn Yes it is high, but the Americans suffer more than we do when fuel goes Up, they still have this fixation with V8 pickups that 98% are never used for what they are great at,towing , and high capacity petrol/gas cars
. 80% of our cars are high performance diesel now that will still give 500 miles to 14 US gallons. And if we need a pickup for purpose it's Amazon or hire one in a van. American V8,s pickups give single digit mpg at worse to mid teens at best.
The best thing that's happened in recent years is American is now the largest oil producer, and soon to be LNG producer as well. Which is how it should be. The world we live in,America must stay wealthy and and force of power.
Thanks for your service. And thanks for the videos too
I thought for sure you were going to say Teresa was getting goats to go with the horse! 🤣 Stay safe and thanks for letting us ride along!!!
You passed by the house. I live off Hwy 49 between Hattiesburg and Gulfport. Stay safe.
"LIKE" button torqued exactly to manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK"
You're a hard worker Dan.
THose goats looked at you and said "hey guys, a human goat... its the Greatest Of All Truckers"!!!!!
Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Missed not seeing a video from you for a couple of weeks. It must have been nice to get home for a few days and live somewhat of a regular type life. Most people do not have a clue what it’s like to be an o/o OTR driver. Boy the life we live or lived as drivers is so different than most of the people that walk this earth. Thanks Dan for another great video on what live is all about out there as a driver, always on the move. Have a great and a safe day, happy trails Dan…
Glad the goats didn’t answer you back. Thanks again for the video!
Truck looks good dan
Dan we’re all right behind you, show us the way !
I live in Shreveport and have been to the Speedco there many times. I’ve always had good service there.
I’d go to B’ham, run 280 to Columbus,Ga. And take 80 to Macon, Ga. Run I-16 to 95, then up to Beaufort, S.C. You wouldn’t have to run so far south & miss Atlanta traffic to! Just my 2 cents, happy trails Dan
WOW! One of these days I am going to see that BIG ORANGE MACHINE. I am in Beaufort SC right now. I am
guessing your delivery is to MCAS Beaufort. Hope you get out of the area BEFORE Nicole arrives. Safe travels. 👍🏻
I'm sure you enjoyed your home time. happy to see you post a video.
I bet that was a famous rock star in that motorcoach at 8:38!
My father in law has one similar, tows his vehicle behind it . Him and my mother in law go all over the place.
Glad to see u got a load near the house that always help $$$
the long pieces are called MER's (Multiple Ejection Racks) its what they use to attach the munitions to the bottom of the plane or to the wings.
Spoken like an old weapons troop. 462/2w1
@@catmanzrt 70th TFS White Nights
Yep you guys are right on the money from a former F-4 & F-16 Crewchief
Happy Tuesday night my friend November 8th Thanks for the video👍NC
Great mileage for big cab. Have Bailey check your figures. Stay safe
Haven’t heard the latest on the Nationwide Shortage of Diesel fuel. Normally was around 45 days supply and it got down as low as 20 days. Totally Ridiculous. 👎
Good to hear that the new steering box improved the steering issues. The Pensacola route on 10 sounds like a better route than going thru Atlanta!!!!
ALDOT’s trying to build a $2 Billion dollar high rise bridge that of course will be tolled.
Dan
Great videos. Great music.
Like the hands on
views. Beautiful truck.
Hey Dan. Its nice to see a video again. Hope all is well with you and your family, and also the little girl. Stay well, bid pat for Bailey.
WE are a rare breed, most driver's don't know how to improvise when doing anything on there trucks. Making a drain pan, etc. Happy veterans day, thank you for your service Dan. Hi bailey!
Thanks for your routing information, Dan. Travel safe!!!
Thanks for the video. Glad to see you are okay. Thanks for what you do. Best wishes to you
Another great video.
You always keep us involved an informed. Truck safe sir!!!
Thanks Dan. The Jake and the Cat sounded great. Enjoyed another video. How is the child doing? Blessings
nothing better than a new STD video to sip a cup of coffee to.
Just came from Sams Club, the same rottella oil was $95.00 a case of gallon jugs.
Mers multiple ejection racks. Loaded quite a few of them myself. When I was on the Navy
Those long things in the front are bomb racks that mount on jet under wing pylons. They look like they hold three 500 pound bombs in the front and three in the back. The tall Jack's are under wing or fuselage jack and the small one is a tail jack for a jack point under the rear of a jet between the engines. The big grey box on wheels is an auxiliary power unit that provides power to the aircraft and bleed air to start the first jet engine.
Nice to see you're back
Working 👍
Truck and trailer looking good Dan ,
Old school Dan , that is how I do my drain pans and I take a Pepsi bottle and cut the bottom out and make my funnel 😂😂 Baileys looking happy , some of these guys say you can't get that kind of fuel mileage out of a cat I knew you could , Looking at the exhaust and Turbo that engine is really running and firing on all 6 holes really nice 😎
be safe take care yourselve Dan
Yep those are aircraft jacks. Doesn’t help the wheels purposely keep it supported until you’ve added enough weight to the jack to compress the springs. Makes it easier to get lined up under the jack points. I’m guessing the big cart is a “huffer” cart. Provides crazy air flow at 50psi(?) to spin up jet engine starters.
That "HUFFER CART" in the Air Force is part of the AGE (Aerospace Ground Equipment ) Equipment. Those long items are mounted to "Hard Points" on the wings and items, such as missiles, bombs or other items that the military uses for their missions are mounted.
In civil aviation they're called an "air start cart".
Another good video Dan KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛👍🇺🇸🐘
DAN BE BLESSED BROTHER STAY SAFE OUT THERE YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME & INTERESTING 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
The white racks are MER’s(multiple ejector racks) AKA bomb racks.
Thanks for the window time 👌
love the music, be safe and keep trucking Dan-O!!!
Use of good products are always a great practice..
Welcome back Mr.Dan ! Glad to see you back at it, hope the gearbox works good, thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it 👍
Thank You Sir
Thanks for the video Dan and Bailey take care of yourself.
Leaking jacks !!!
GROOVY❤🐘🇺🇸
You were right, those are aircraft jacks and yes they are hard to transport.
I have found that the quality of diesel fuel varies and it affects the performance and mileage. It doesn’t seem to matter the brand or source.
Your right on both pieces of freight
Dan I enjoy your videos and the scenery is fantastic as well. Safe travels!!!!!
Thanks Dan another professional video and professional owner operator showing previous is more cost efficient in the long run
Stay safe on your travels 🌵🇬🇧👍
May Trucking was the last company i drove for
Enjoyed ur video. Be safe!! 😊
I haul frozen out of Delhi and always stay at that truck stop. That’s one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve had in my life. Also they make a killer red beans and rice
Hey Dan, I think that was you I saw today near the Ga/Sc state line I95. If so man your truck looks amazing in person. Keep safe driver 💯
You must get CB chatter on that nice setup you have there!
Cool video Dan 👍
I just spend 2 weeks down in Sierra Vista. Thought about you and Teresa when I passed through Benson on my way down from Tucson. Love the area down that way. Do y'all ever get down to Bisbee? Loved that little town. :D
I instinctively answered "goat stuff" when you asked the goats what they were doing. I have some screws loose.
You ain"t the only one with that answer. HA!HA!
Another good vid dan!!!!miss your vids when you are away!!!!
Liquid gold. You got that right. Great video and information as always. You're headed to The Great Santini movie area.
Sounds like he's heading for Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort SC. Also home of Parris Island, Marine Corps Recruit Depot.
Don’t drink the water
Nose and wing jacks, wing weapons racks and the other looked like a hyd cart. I work with that SE daily… Dan, you and Bailey stay safe out there and thank you for what you do…
Awesome fuel milleage considering the size of your rig!👋🤠👍
This talk of Diesel shortage really has me concerned Dan. As always, safe travels to you and Bailey 🙂
Great thumbnail BTW :D . 6.9 is not bad for flatbed.
Think you mean hwy 45 not 49 outta meridian lol but it's all good, keep up the grwat videos, I live off 45 and i22 in tupelo...thanks for all you do buddy 😉
Man wish I woulda known I coulda looked for you lol I live in fort Walton beach but my parents live in Crestview off I10 right where you went through
fun going through ft worth dallas on 20 isn’t lol
It's not bad 6.9 for that kind of truck
Rails the missiles attach too.
In fact, the value of one liter of diesel in Saudi Arabia does not exceed 0.60
👍
6.9 dang must be nice even if I'm completely empty just pulling my trailers I get 5.1 mpg if I'm loaded ugh I'm down around that 3-4 sometimes 2.5 and that's driving it nicely I have no idea what it would be if I drove it with a heavy foot my guess is I could get down around 1-2 pretty easy
Just wondering if you had any generator hours on that milage check...you might actually be at or just over 7 mpg
Stay safe brother
Another great video brother from the imperial co California ⛟⛟⛟⛟⛟
Do think your new clutch is helping the fuel mileage? The substandard clutch you had may have been slipping
Hi Dan, I'm getting ready to go to work for Tmc in a couple weeks. Just wondering if you had any advice for a new hand at flatbeds. Love the videos
don't do it 😂
@@TheDriller100 I think he was asking Dan mind your business
Take your time. I believe TMC has a really good flatbed training program. It’s not very often I see a TMC doing something wrong.
Thanks for watching
I started out in flatbeds in the seventies and one thing has not changed through all of these years. Do as Dan does, take your time to secure your load. It is never unsafe to over secure. If you wonder if you should, you probably should. Until you are absolutely sure that what you are hauling has settled down and your chains and straps are staying tight, keep stopping to check it.
I wonder if rubber mud flaps under the airplane jacks would help?
I like older trucks
Hey Dan, I have a question for you, Since you run the Midwest like you do. I think most people know you live in benson, AZ. But if you had to live in the Midwest, closer to the freight you run so much, where would you prefer to call home?
Great video Dan i have a question when you said about your wheels being up because your carrying around 7.000 lbs at what weight would you have to put it down thanks buddy just wondering
Was that oil change done on duty time ?
Go visit duck commander in town.
If you were looking for fuel mileage you shouldnt have got a hood! I remember you buying that last truck for better mileage, youre all over the place mentally.
Cash is king trucking thinks all hood trucks get 5mpg. He said in a video we spend $40,000 more a year on diesel fuel. But. He can’t afford his own trailer. And his APU is a portable generator on the catwalk with an extension cord going to floor space AC.
He is mad he drives a shit cascadia.
Safe travels
Hey mr. Super trucker Dan🤣 nice you see you back
I avoid running through Atlanta whenever possible. It might be shorter distance but it will take longer
a pela pump 6.5 litre cap would have saved all the hassle dan it sucks it out and no mess you just pour it across. google it
I had a 2,000 freightliner classic flattop with a 2WS 500 cat and if I kept it at 1,350 rpm I would average 7.1 ish pulling a van calculating over my quarterly IFTA
