I still have my license, stopped driving professionally 9 years ago after 23 years on the road, watching this video makes me kinda miss it. I guess it will always be in my blood. Thanks.
You know Tim there's a lot of drivers out there that have never experienced driving a truck like that like you said it comes with responsibilities man I've drove trucks like that my whole life up until my accident... I could never drive a truck that won't do over 70 mph and you can't get out of your own damn way.. you got an old soul my good brother that's for sure..💯🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Young man, 1st off, I have to agree with "ktheredfrog" in that you need to make yourself a "hatcam" to free your hands up while videoing. 2nd, I respect the way you're raising your son.....he will be far ahead of other kids his age as he grows. 3rd, I came here form "NUMBNUTS" channel (Bruce) and I have to say that I like your style....WHY?....Because I'm a "70 year young Kentucky Hillbilly"!!!!!! Waiting for your next video so that I can sit back with some "shine" and unwind!!!!!!
@Truckin 101 i wasn't gonna say it but Bruce is a NUMBNUTS sums it up best, best thing he did for the air force truck was sell it. the work that has been accomplished on it since it has been here is what we all needed to see and what that truck deserves.
I’m from Kentucky myself I like Gentry’s channel he works on the trucks hisself and his little boy is gonna be real successful because he knows what hard work is.
Your wheels, tanks, stacks, and chrome look fantastic. To often I see trucks that all of the "shiny" stuff is not "shiny" anymore. Your truck looks great an is a testament to you!
Keep the videos coming driver. I loved seeing your trucks rolling the coal. It felt like I in the truck with you. I'm glad I subscribed to your channel. Great videos driver.
I do those exhaust manifolds regularly. Take off the gear box and you can access it. Use torch to remove nuts, then heat the studs up a little. Use a pair of vise grips and they will come right out.
Don't have a problem smoke. In Australia can get a fine. ( so much different in Australia. Emission, wait of the rig, all has a big part in Australia. No ossie will use a old rig. For those reseson ( take care guys 👍
They will put you on a weigh bridge. Prime mover and trailer. Then your load. ( tuff rolls in Australia. Small prime mover light trailer. Make money Australia. No smoke. ( so different to there I wish
Awesome video thats a sweet Cab Over have service truck with built in tool boxes air compressor welder and cutting torches i had a 1988 and 98 Chevy Silverado Service trucks bought from a well drilling company and one was a Tool Truck Race car Hauler my uncle had Also Step Vans and Box Trucks make good service truck My Uncle Red Has a semi service company out of battle creek Michigan
Man that poor Columbia is in definite need of a cosmetic upgrade. At least get the guy some new headlights. I was going blind imagining driving that at night
Good ol Loves in Fremont IN/Angola IN area. Tim great videos so far and keep up the work. Then you have the “SMILEY” water tower in n Ashley IN. NE Indiana is an interesting flatland place.
A cabover! A rare breed on the road these days. I started out in a 1987 Freightliner single axle regular sleeper cabover. Drove that thing from NJ to Jacksonville Fla, to Harrisburg PA and home to NJ every week for six years. Pulled doubles for then Roadway Package System aka FedEx ground now. My boss back then had four trucks signed on with them. Fastest trucks he had were a 1992 Frieghtliner conventional 425 Cat and a Mack MH cabover with the E-9 500hp motor. I was the low man so I got the shytbox 310 Cat spring ride.
I worked for a company that delivered food to Wendy's, Texas Roadhouse and such at night. We finished in Alabama and turned the reefer on and headed to Forest Park, GA to load frozen chicken breast for a backhaul and got there and the trailer was 70°😂😫 compressor died. Ended swapping trailers at another one of our yards in GA
You definitely get grungy doing your own work but an extra few showers are worth the piece of mind knowing your problems are fixed right. Be proud of the work you do!
That's One BAD ASS TRUCK!!! She Sounds Sooooooo Beautiful Just Like a Pretty Woman in Bed Awesome Video keep them coming and Be Safe and Careful Driving out on the Road
I just had a Fitzgerald glider come through for ecm issues on a series 60 last week, they break down too. That’s the fuel shutoff solenoid on ur reefer bud, not high idle. I work for a Freightliner, and we are the only TK dealer in our state. Is urs an sb230?
My boss a few weeks ago gave me a $1000 bonus for going a year without a lost day due to mechanical issues. Not a big deal if I did lose a day as I am local but cool to be appreciated
D Smith he is the VP of the Company. The President cried when he was told my trailer had a brake job done, around $1300 parts and labor. New drums, shoes, seals etc. President said find a cheaper shop, VP said he has the cheapest one around, me and I only charged 4 hours including picking up parts. I am retired as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic driving part time for play money. Now the VP told me the brake job just jumped to $2300, President should stop crying.
My last job I had a boss like that. Would still be working for him if not for health problems! I would get $1000 bonus at Christmas and thru the year he said if I needed to get my rest stop and get a room on him. Told him I sleep better in truck unless get sick. I took care of his equipment like it was mine. Got my own loads scheduled all service on truck. Last year I worked for him my bonus was $2000. He said never had to worry about me only trouble was is I didn’t call him enough. Told him as long as wasn’t any trouble no need to talk to him. If he didn’t hear from me I was working! Loved that job and that boss!
Couple things to consider. On the carrier refer, be sure you are cleaning the inlet screen at the primer pump when you do a service. It didn't look like the fittings were wet so I don't believe it was done. That screen is the first filter point for the fuel from the tank and it will shut down when plugged up with large debris. Don't lose the copper washers on either side of it either. Pull the bolt, unscrew the screen from the bolt and clean it out. Check line for debris stuck in it. Also, watch that gearbox for leaks that the belts hook to. There isn't much gear oil in them to start with and they burn up bearings quick. They have a vent that needs to be clear. That box looked kinda wet, hard to tell. The trailer behind the Freightliner has the right mid turn signal out and there are some lower rail rivets missing the heads. When the heads break off it loads the others up and breaks them faster. Keep it up, it never ends.
Jack of all trades.. Dang right fixing the broken things before the chrome add ons. Had a good chuckle. Keep the shinny side up and the greasy side down. Keep the 18 wheels a rolling and I'll catch ya on the flip side. 10-10 on the side.
Loving the new “trucking vlog” Great to see such a varied theme. We get to see the reality of owning trucks, maintenance etc. Be nice to see a meet the fleet type video and an insight into the logistics of trucking you do. Best part is watching the good up bringing you provide for the young fella, he is a credit to you. It’s only the early stages and is already best all round trucking channel, no sensationalist bullshit you see on other channels. Your keeping it real. Thanks for sharing with us. I’m watching from Ireland.
Loving the channel man my dad shut down our trucks awhile back I miss helping with them every weekend we got a 53ft reefer if yall need one its for sell
Great Vlog man. How about an a video trailer for the intro with you shifting gears and Braxton driving a truck or tractor. Something with the Channelname handsome highlight videos. Market this channel to help it grow.
Haha the first clip of this vid where you're driving by that cabover caught me a bit off guard because I recognized the area! I drive by that exit nearly every day on my way back from work, cool to see somewhere familiar. Glad I subscribed to you, have been enjoying the videos
What's big power and torque to you? A 600 Cat? After driveline loss, 475 horse to the wheels, and that's generous. You kids don't know big power. Big power is 700+ at the drive tires. You ever run i80 between the i81 split and i99, you have probably gotten your paint peeled off by a black 389.Porosky Lumber on the doors, 917 crank horsepower, no DPF, no bullshit, just an ISX built with all the PDI goodies and tuned by Diesel Freak.
A little DOZER DUST never hurt anyone. Man I miss hearing that turbo whistle and going down the road. All I do now is shuttle from one building across the drive to another but I love being home every night. Love the channel and be safe out there.
@@banditgrizzy1955 I saw it coming, and got out in 2005. I do miss some things about it, but not the over regulations and electronic nanny stuff. I don't know how these guys make any money anymore . I started in the 70s, got out for a while and went back. Then when things started getting to where I couldn't run the way I always had, I decided it was time to get out.
You can still make good money and the elogs ain't that bad. Still have a lot of freedom out here on the road. Truckin is just like life it's all in how ya look at it.
Hey since you’re from my area you may run into the same bs as me if you go to looking for polishers and I finally found one that’s awesome. A&R Metal Polishing on fb he’s out of chatt. The white classic is mine if you check him out
Our 99 w900 has the c16 love that motor it's a monster in the mountains had to put a stiffening plate from a b model cat to keep it from tearing itself apart, 2050 tq she loves to pull.
Why do you all think you're putting 600/2050 to the ground. Driveline loss... 600 becomes about 450 after parasitic driveline loss. Drivers... full of more shit than a dairy barn.
Sir this is awesome enjoy watching can't believe I get to watch the air Force rebuild and trucking I miss trucking and I used to farm also your young son is smart and a hard worker keep up the good work and stay safe
That diesel in the reefer looks awfully similar to the engine in our Miller welder/generator in our field truck....thing makes a helluva racket and heat lol
Have you ever thought about putting full painted fiberglass fender on the back of the PETERBILT. Love the new lights on the front. Keep up the awesome work and be SAFE out there. GOD BLESS 🇺🇸🙏👍😎 Nashville Towing & Recovery Inc. (NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE)
we run the thermo king sb 310 love then and i feel they are easier to work on then the carriers love the channel if your ever in murray ky and need something hit me up
I have to say, you're a great dad, and a great example of an honest, hard working man. God bless you and may He give you many more miles of success! Glad I found your channel. Much love from British Columbia Canada...
Love watching your channel feels like I'm on the road with you good ol down to earth country Boy trying to make a dollar Love the Pete keep it between the white lines and let the coal roll !!! Son 💨💨👍
Fun,fun,fun, out on the road! 😳 I’ve never been inside a reefer unit...Thanks for the insight! I just bought an old reefer trailer, now I need to pick it up. Southern Ohio! 😳 Duct tape is your friend! 🧐 What are the additional switches on your stick? Lights, O/D? I’m with ya...gotta carry enough tools to do a variety of repairs on your truck and trailer. Do you carry a long airline and impact for changing tires? 🧐 What a difference that can make on a long trip! 🤩 I do like the new lights...they make enough difference on the front of that Pete! 🤩 That hill coming up out of Cincinnati is quite a big one...better now than what it used to be. It’s a beautiful town at night, but don’t get off the wrong exit. I lived there a few years and enjoyed driving around taking in the sights! Lots of HISTORY...especially underground! 😎 You gotta know when to use that power...even RESPECT the power! 😎 Hehehe! Good stuff! But you got my attention even more when you wouldn’t share your truck weight! hmmm! 🧐
Dammit son roll that coal kinda wish I was still behind the wheel had a lot of good times and your right I had two bulldogs the one I drove was pushing 7 and change with a 15 the other 475 with a auto that was good enough for a hired hand now mine on the other hand could get the job done you just gotta know when to back out
Those headlights look badass on that pete brother... You out there saving yourself $1,000 bill that's what's up great job Tim. The Peterbilt is looking great.. got that reefer rockin and rollin.. check you out put it in the hole Daddy-O 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾💯😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Oh hell yeah I'll check out the cloud on that big Peterbilt 18 speed the cloud is loud y'all 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 I love your channel Tim you're my kind of people brother that's for damn sure if I didn't have that bad motorcycle accident put me in a wheelchair I would definitely work for you brother💯🤘🏾🤘🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Let It Humm Bigg Dawg😎👊🏾👊🏾
mine does the same thing. it'll get hot on a pull second its done it'll come right back down. it'll stay 210ish. but i'm sure as hell not running 800 hp!
That's pretty damn smart keeping a mechanic with another driver separate trucks there's too many drivers that will set at the Petro the TA it don't matter to get a damn light put in they won't do a damn thing and I guarantee you there ain't nobody like that working for you they cost you money if you can't put a turbo on the side of the road you don't need to be driving truck you do all you can to help your boss out that's how you get bonuses and shit. I worked for a guy 7 years quit went back and he pretty much runs like you do man older trucks you rock my brother keep on keeping on 💯🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Good stuff, I appreciated that. I could stand to watch more reality. Yeah, it makes me homesick for the road sometimes, but it also brings back lots of good memories. It makes me curious as to what all has changed, and what has stayed the same.
Gotta have faith in ya drivers!!!! I run a 06 Pete 379 with a 6-1/4 CAT 18spd backed with 336 rears pushing 750HP and 3k lbs of torque and I never run hot!!! Granted I run my fan full time when it’s warm out and when I get to 195/200 going up a hill I flip the switch before it comes on automatically. And it’s a company truck. But I care I don’t want my boss laying out $25-$30k for an inframe!!! And I also would have to drive something else until mine comes back which for me is a huge no no!!! Hate jumping seats and driving something I ain’t comfortable in or someone else’s truck. Love the content though keep it up bud
WTF! I've subscribed to yr channel & I was going to watch the airforce cabover, I KNOW DAMNED GOOD & WELL IF YOUR SONS IN THESE VIDEOS IM DAMNED OLD ENUF TO VIEW THEM, SO WHATS UP W/THE AGE RESTRICTION???
Dang you pulled that hill like it was nothing .lol I've been taking the cinci bypass lately to avoid all that mess lately then drop the trailer at the 56 in niota the head on to the house !
Question for you. This wood grain cabinets you have on the back wall of the sleeper, is that aftermarket? I have the standard 379 side cabinets in the sleeper and storage space is is a problem for me. I’m looking to get something like what you got. Can you tell me if you got them somewhere or are they original
We saw the difference between 800 HP. and 600 HP. I'll show you what 400 HP. can do, just wave when you pass me. Very much enjoyed the video, New subscriber.
I've climbed that hill many times on my way from Jackson Center, Ohio to Louisville, Kentucky It's a bitch in the winter, especially come down into Kentucky!
Just saw one of your videos. I have a Fitzgerald Glider 2016. I would love to chat with you on an issue I had with my engine. Is it possible that I can talk to you and get your opinion. Looking forward to hearing from you
Hey call B&H tubes and fix those ol steel coolant tubes. Theirs are made of stainless I have 4 sets on my trucks and they're a great product and not much more than a factory. Keep on truckin brother!!!!
Not going to argue about, but oil temp needs to get above 212 degrees consistently to boil off water so the oil can do its job. New oil can handle lot higher temperatures than 20 years ago. Lots of new cars run 230 to 250 all the time.
What is up with your shifter what's with the box grey box on it I drive three trucks almost evry day one is a pete 388 18spd still.learing how to run it smoother but mine dosent hv that big grey box it .
I still have my license, stopped driving professionally 9 years ago after 23 years on the road, watching this video makes me kinda miss it. I guess it will always be in my blood. Thanks.

I do those exhaust manifolds regularly. Take off the gear box and you can access it. Use torch to remove nuts, then heat the studs up a little. Use a pair of vise grips and they will come right out.
Nice to see you like that same extra cab sleeper 379 Pete i have. Mine is a 2006.
There is no equivalent on UA-cam to the in cab parts. Those sounds! Keep up the excellent content!

Love watching your channel feels like I'm on the road with you good ol down to earth country Boy trying to make a dollar Love the Pete keep it between the white lines and let the coal roll !!! Son 💨💨👍
What's the advantage of a spread axle trailer ?
40,000 split over 2 axles versus 34k over a tandem. It's why 99% of flatbeds are spread
Man your Truck has some power 😬💪🏻💨💨💨
Do she runs on Prius blood ?😂
Fun,fun,fun, out on the road! 😳 I’ve never been inside a reefer unit...Thanks for the insight! I just bought an old reefer trailer, now I need to pick it up. Southern Ohio! 😳 Duct tape is your friend! 🧐 What are the additional switches on your stick? Lights, O/D? I’m with ya...gotta carry enough tools to do a variety of repairs on your truck and trailer. Do you carry a long airline and impact for changing tires? 🧐 What a difference that can make on a long trip! 🤩 I do like the new lights...they make enough difference on the front of that Pete! 🤩 That hill coming up out of Cincinnati is quite a big one...better now than what it used to be. It’s a beautiful town at night, but don’t get off the wrong exit. I lived there a few years and enjoyed driving around taking in the sights! Lots of HISTORY...especially underground! 😎 You gotta know when to use that power...even RESPECT the power! 😎 Hehehe! Good stuff! But you got my attention even more when you wouldn’t share your truck weight! hmmm! 🧐
Dammit son roll that coal kinda wish I was still behind the wheel had a lot of good times and your right I had two bulldogs the one I drove was pushing 7 and change with a 15 the other 475 with a auto that was good enough for a hired hand now mine on the other hand could get the job done you just gotta know when to back out
Great Channel maybe put a GoPro in the sleeper showing us shifting that 18 speed. anyway great chennel will be looking for more videos.
I know something that might help you get you a box of latex gloves for working on the truck or the trailer
Awesome Large Car . I've been trucking 25 years . I like your channel , keep the content coming.✌🏼😎👍🏼
15k subs...way to be...keep trucking on the A.F. coe and more will follow...thx

Never never change or alter your content. UK viewer hoping to take class 1/2 soon. Top channel .
mine does the same thing. it'll get hot on a pull second its done it'll come right back down. it'll stay 210ish. but i'm sure as hell not running 800 hp!
Most guys aren't running 800, their mouths are running... as in bullshit
That's pretty damn smart keeping a mechanic with another driver separate trucks there's too many drivers that will set at the Petro the TA it don't matter to get a damn light put in they won't do a damn thing and I guarantee you there ain't nobody like that working for you they cost you money if you can't put a turbo on the side of the road you don't need to be driving truck you do all you can to help your boss out that's how you get bonuses and shit. I worked for a guy 7 years quit went back and he pretty much runs like you do man older trucks you rock my brother keep on keeping on 💯🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Good stuff, I appreciated that. I could stand to watch more reality. Yeah, it makes me homesick for the road sometimes, but it also brings back lots of good memories.
It makes me curious as to what all has changed, and what has stayed the same.
Gotta have faith in ya drivers!!!! I run a 06 Pete 379 with a 6-1/4 CAT 18spd backed with 336 rears pushing 750HP and 3k lbs of torque and I never run hot!!! Granted I run my fan full time when it’s warm out and when I get to 195/200 going up a hill I flip the switch before it comes on automatically. And it’s a company truck. But I care I don’t want my boss laying out $25-$30k for an inframe!!! And I also would have to drive something else until mine comes back which for me is a huge no no!!! Hate jumping seats and driving something I ain’t comfortable in or someone else’s truck. Love the content though keep it up bud
WTF! I've subscribed to yr channel & I was going to watch the airforce cabover, I KNOW DAMNED GOOD & WELL IF YOUR SONS IN THESE VIDEOS IM DAMNED OLD ENUF TO VIEW THEM, SO WHATS UP W/THE AGE RESTRICTION???
Love the channel and content!!
Dang you pulled that hill like it was nothing .lol I've been taking the cinci bypass lately to avoid all that mess lately then drop the trailer at the 56 in niota the head on to the house !
Question for you. This wood grain cabinets you have on the back wall of the sleeper, is that aftermarket? I have the standard 379 side cabinets in the sleeper and storage space is is a problem for me. I’m looking to get something like what you got. Can you tell me if you got them somewhere or are they original
We saw the difference between 800 HP. and 600 HP. I'll show you what 400 HP. can do, just wave when you pass me. Very much enjoyed the video, New subscriber.
Like them lights , that's one sweet pete , i love your video's keep up the great work be safe out there
I've climbed that hill many times on my way from Jackson Center, Ohio to Louisville, Kentucky
It's a bitch in the winter, especially come down into Kentucky!
You might have a couple of fuses blown 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Just saw one of your videos. I have a Fitzgerald Glider 2016. I would love to chat with you on an issue I had with my engine. Is it possible that I can talk to you and get your opinion. Looking forward to hearing from you
Those Headlights are Boss. I had to give a moment of silence to the Prius drivers they will survive a little smoke lol. Stay Safe ✌🏽
Great video man I been to that loves up there in Indiana a ton of times when i was hauling campers drive safe
Where’s your son?
Wasn’t that him in the vlog when you left?
Hey call B&H tubes and fix those ol steel coolant tubes. Theirs are made of stainless I have 4 sets on my trucks and they're a great product and not much more than a factory. Keep on truckin brother!!!!
Out here trucking almost 20yrs. Its not for everyone but we keep the country rollin. Wouldn't wanna do anything else.
Awesome Chanel. You should invest in some Milwaukee battery ratchets and impacts. 👍
Not going to argue about, but oil temp needs to get above 212 degrees consistently to boil off water so the oil can do its job. New oil can handle lot higher temperatures than 20 years ago. Lots of new cars run 230 to 250 all the time.
What is up with your shifter what's with the box grey box on it I drive three trucks almost evry day one is a pete 388 18spd still.learing how to run it smoother but mine dosent hv that big grey box it .
