Living in Ohio I could tell you, take 76 till you get to 80. Then take 80. 80 is our toll road but once 76 crosses it, 76 becomes the toll road and 80 then becomes a regular road. Don't worry, plenty O' country to look at on that route too. 💪🙃👌💜

Alex is quite interesting to watch once in a while. He seems to be a good decent young man. He definitely struggles a lot in his backing skills and quite often he drives through and on non-truck routes, but other than that he is learning fairly well for someone that hasn't been driving very long. Way to go Alex !

Alex, when an air compresser makes air, the humidity gets compacted with it. So unless you have a dehydrator in the line, water builds up in the lines. So you opened the drain valve to get it out, so the air mechanism that actuates the tandems has more air to work. I recommend draining the line when you shut down for the night. Or at least every 3 days, depending on usage.

Most got air driers on them now days. But when I drove I always try drain my tanks every few days depending on amount of build-up. Just part of regular maintenance.

Another great video Alex, it is always so interesting to watch the life of an over the road driver. I am a purchasing manager for an agricultural equipment manufacturing company. Watching your video's gives me a lot of insight on how all the parts I buy actually get to our company and to our production line. Trucks come and go all day long at our loading dock but that is all I see from my office, it is really interest to see all the rest of the logistics the drivers go through to get to us. I would love to see more of your workout routine, I often wonder what drivers do to keep fit after sitting all those hours on the road. We are lucky, out facility is in the country and we have a large park like setting with trees and paths we can get out of the office and walk or jog on. I get to bring my dog to work every day and I take him out for a walk once or twice per day so I can get up and move around and stretch my legs and just get out of the office for a while, I agree with you, just seeing highway and trucks all day must get dull, I know staring at a computer screen all day sure does.

Shakers have an airdryer after the compressor and before the tanks. If you have moisture in your tanks, more than a few drops, your air dryer needs to be serviced. There is another tank on the trailer, that is the one you want to drain, you have no idea if the previous users had air dryers, or if theirs are working. If the pins don't retract, look up underneath, you will see a bolt and a nut that connects the pin to the release. If the bot is missing,at least one will not retract. Should ask the trailer shop for a few spares and have them show you where they are.

If the pin does not go in two things, if all the other pins go in there is a pin that holds the air valve arm to the pin, or if both pins do not go in it’s the air valve for those pins. When I worked for them had same problem with trailer had a screw and nuts so was able to fix quick.
