#57 A stupid mistake leads to damage ~ I should've paid attention ~ Plate Update! ~ Map Update!

Episode 57 Dec 5, 2025 I'm an independent owner/operator, hauling flatbed freight in and around the Western United States. A very crappy start to the holiday week leads to confusion and fears of no work at all. I made the mistake of not paying attention to how close someone is parked behind me and end up damaging my trailer. We haul wire for underground mining support then update the license plate board and world map! Hanging on to old school traditions and methods in a 21st century trucking world that's tracked and monitored. I own a truck, and I make a living with it. This is how I make a buck with a truck. On this channel, I'll share stories of loads hauled, places delivered to and some of the people I meet, while doing what needs to be done to earn a living as an independent owner/operator. 00:00 Opening 00:12 Mornin' Driver! 00:59 Intro 01:22 Double brokered load? 03:03 Galvanizing 05:19 I hit him 05:36 That's enough for today 06:58 Tuesday Truckin' 07:20 You don't hear that in other states 08:16 These are bolts 09:59 Done for the day 11:08 License plate update 19:58 Map update 26:43 Ending
