Try it out it’s not bad. Pus you’re home daily

Copy that, thanks. I'll be absorbing as much as possible from your content.

🙏🏼

Did not know that! But I will do that from now on thanks

And everything so far has been good 👌🏼👌🏼

I was at the mechanics line.. damn container was mounted on a chasis with a shredded tire

@@T.W.S.1223 How long did that set you back?

All I do is encourage him to keep up in school.. but I’m not going to hand out money like that.. nothing is given in life so he has to earn some money one way or another. In that case u can say he’s not only learning about the engine and how to do maintenance but also how to work for his money and not expect anything for free.

I sure did. But I don’t know what the benefits are to switching to single turbos other than the simplicity. A lot of mechanics have told me twins are better. I am thinking about switching to single turbo now. There’s one of the turbos that was failing already. Looking at my options at the moment.

Going aftermarket hasn’t been bad for me. And I haul pretty heavy most of the time

@@T.W.S.1223 can you tell me what the name of the kit you bought is.?

I haven’t seen any blow by since the overhaul. But before it I did. It was up to the point where I would be at a red light and I’d see all the smoke come up. It still ran pretty good just lost power on last few gears

Chicago

@T.W.S.1223 No kidding. Wow. I am shocked. What is the name of the manufacturer that made the aftermarket stuff? If you don't mind saying. I own a C-15 also. It is in a '01 Pete. I think I am getting up there on my 2nd in -frame. Probably going to need a 3rd maybe in the next year. Got a platinum rebuild last go round. The man who did the work has retired though.

@@jerrycoggin9434 He mentioned the aftermarket parts were Interstate Mcbee. I bought an oil cooler from them and various gasket kits and have been happy with the quality.

Sorry about that I will do a video on that so I can explain more with detail.

Yep, unfortunately there’s many mechanics like this. He didn’t think I was going to open the engine up soon I guess

Thanks for the support! 🙏🏼 u have really good ideas for trucks I see! And those ideas are similar to what I have cus man.. dual revolution from white to blue inside would be great. It’s a slow process but we are getting there.

@@T.W.S.1223 Does your T600 have a 72" sleeper or an 86" sleeper? I love the Kenworths (whether T600, T800 or W900) with the 86" studio sleeper.

@@evanjordan5075 mine is a 72” sleeper. Wanted the bigger sleeper with the studio sleeper but that’s what I got 😢

@@T.W.S.1223 72" still nice too. Also as they say "Gotta star somewhere"

Yeah I do wanna put it up there too.. cus it is in my way of looking out in that position so.. gotta figure out how to run the cb cable up there

Thanks 🙏🏼

Yeah with the company I’m with I have to run elogs. Even though it’s considered local there’s time when we go past the required local miles.

And thanks!!🙏🏼 I wish I can keep it a bit more cleaner but it’s hard in intermodal on these yards I go through.

@@T.W.S.1223 What got you into intermodal trucking? Also, did you ever haul anything else besides containers with the T600?

That is in plan for the future. It is gonna be quite a bit of cash so I gotta save up cus I want them to be on the side of the truck.. that’ll require moving the diesel tanks and air tanks to slide back a bit.

@@T.W.S.1223 That'll be fire the stacks on the side. Doesn't matter if the stacks are 6" 7" or 8" will look great.

@@evanjordan5075 I’m looking at some 7” right now but it would be in the future anyway.. cus yeah there will have to be work put in just installing them.. getting the y connection and yeah moving the tanks back a bit.

Welcome to Bidenomics - they are "proud" of this.

I would have loved to unload that product having my forklift certification and all but you know how they come out with their “company policy” bs. Some of these brokers are a joke. Detention after 3-4 hours free.. and up to 6 hours max paid.. some drivers don’t know that and they stay and wait more. I didn’t .. if I didn’t see the confirmation of me getting paid more I left.

Saludos!! 🙏🏼

That was about a year ago. I hope they got better. The worse place I had ever delivered to.

Good luck in this job bro! It’s not bad as soon as u get the hang of it!

U got me on a bad day! Dirty truck cus I was in Indiana with all that snow

@@T.W.S.1223 it’s all good just needs a good truck wash

It’s easy to apply at least here with Evan’s. There’s 30 contractors plus Evan’s alone that you can apply for. And well ports.. yeah… I think if you haven’t been in there it be good to go with someone for a few days to get to know them and how it works

Evans transport or E transport? I've been communicating with them out of Florida and they have work out of Virginia that could have me home each night

@@airforcebbq3P051 Evan’s transport they’re pretty good company to work with

That's good to hear. Thanks that helps me to make my decision in a couple weeks.

Thanks! 🙏🏼

Only way to shift!! Waiting to hear when u get back on brother!

Believe it or not, had a wash 2 days before that video.. can’t keep it clean here in intermodal. I need a Mobile wash so he can go and wash it at the yard I park at

It’s kind of weird seeing it like this but it’ll grow on me 😅

How you get on with bnsf?

Everyone has their style. But since I changed it to higher I feel like the shifting is a lot smoother imo.

It’s just a style lots of old school truckers have them like that and it’s way easier to shift

Thanks for the support bro. That song I use is Music: Over N Over Musician: Not The King

@@T.W.S.1223thank you big bro!! Just hit the sub button. Keep the intermodal content coming. Don’t be surprised if you run into the other Chicago intermodal UA-camr called Trucking & life, he’s an owner op too

@@nfcoley1357 gonna check his channel up to see who it is.. it be great to meet other you tubers

I move freight from customers, and return the empty to the rail yards. I did think on buying my own chassis maybe one that converts from a 20’ to a 40’ since that’s all we haul. But, the Joliet rail yards are where I’ll lose time and money because the whole set up is dropped there or picked up. Meaning I’d hav to pay for a flip to get the box from my chassis to theirs

Independent contractor bro

@T.W.S.1223 any suggestions on Intermodal companies for Independent

I’ve never experienced it but heard stories about Landers.

It’s horrible in landers, that’s one of the places I hate going to

I’ll try pulling like that cus I tried everything and that handle was the only thing that got me out of trouble

What kind of truck do you drive? That way I know if u honk at me 😅

I didn’t even think of that 🫨 but… I did use the Sta rat.. nice little device I used on older trailers to pull the pin lever for the tandems.. it’s hydraulic so it worked.. but yeah those locking pliers will work too thanks

I figured. I never had an apu but figured the truck still has to be kept running on freezing conditions.

I would do the same I just haven’t been in that situation just yet. But yes having spare lights work and the only times I have been to roadbility was for flat/shredded tires. And I hate when they try to give u a flip ticket for something that they don’t wanna do.

@@T.W.S.1223 Or somehow they don't have parts. I've ran into situations where they had no good tires to use. Mainly due to the hostlers dragging the chassis around 🤦
