@@TopFlightGarage thanks for watching buddy yeah we have worked hard to keep the overhead low with buying a old truck and trailer and building it into what I wanted myself and I’m blessed with mechanical skills that keeps me out of the shops I mean I go as far as changing my own tires on the side of the road to save the extra 60$ dismount and mount so thanks for the vote of confidence I do really try
I saw you on the bypass around Cedartown a while back. You had just jumped back in the truck starting off. Glad to see you full time! I wish i had the guts to quit my regular job to go truckin'.
Great video Don glad to see you and Purple doing trucking full-time with your beautiful trailer. Looking forward to your next video safe travels and Happy holidays to you and your family.
December is a tough month regardless of the extra stuff with 2 holidays cutting in the regular trucking, and I feel your pain because I just did the same thing paying to get Frankenstein going!
Hey Don! Good to see you start trucking full time. Have you checked out 10-4 Insurance? Grind n Gears has that & he pays a low amount. I’m sure you have been busy glad to see you back 😀
Great to see you before the holidays Don. Man purple is looking absolutely amazing and sounds even better.. happy holidays to you and your family Don, well be praying for you to be bringing in the cash asap..
Great to see you looking good and getting out there. I hope it all works out even better than you expected!! Hope you and your family have an enjoyable Christmas together.

@donmccord I've been driving 40 years and just got off the road now working for a company shuttling trailers to and from the Peterbilt plant here in Denton Texas
I’m sure it’s only 350 or something at the moment but it’s air to air inter cooled so it has a good chance it could be a 425hp or with a set of injectors and turbo upgrade it can definitely be made into a 425hp motor
It will be a while planning on going to get the truck after the first of the year gotta do a full check up on it’s condition then plan the down time to do the swap
@@shahielharilal6710 Im working on that I want to put a 525hp n14 Cummins in just for the fact it would be plug and play going from the m11 as all the connections and ecm harnesses are the same but I have a line on a free parts truck I’ve just gotta go get it it comes with a b-block CAT so more than likely purple will end up with a CAT unless I can trade the CAT for a good N14
Been watching your channel for a while. You’re in a GREAT position to succeed . Paid for equipment and low over head is the key

Ahh nice yeah 10 years at the company doing the same thing I was bored to death lol time for a change
@donmccord that's where I'm at. 10 years in, ready for a change and put my cdl to work. Worried about the money, though.
Just subscribed. Love the truck. Keep up the great videos. God Bless 🙏 ❤️ 😊 🙌
Oh thanks buddy more to come Merry Christmas and a happy new year
The truck and trailer looks and sounds great. Good luck in the coming year.

Saw you heading to Atlanta Bonded the other day. I was doing my paperwork, couldn't get a picture. Sharp combo for sure!
Hell yeah I was picking up a load of chocolate thanks bro
Nice! You're right around the corner from me. My son sees your cabover from his school bus. He remembers the white Pete too.
December is a tough month regardless of the extra stuff with 2 holidays cutting in the regular trucking, and I feel your pain because I just did the same thing paying to get Frankenstein going!
Yeah if it weren’t for all the expenses I would have done really well this month
Nice looking setup!!

CLASSY TRUCK SIR
Thanks buddy
Looking good! Safre travels
One of the Sharpest cabover on the Highway
Life of a truck driver.
Nice rig setup
Thanks I appreciate it
The CAT when opened up to 425HP, will pull like a train
Yep
I need to put a section of tint on my windows like that 🌞
@@1ChadKeegan it really helps
Nice rig
Thanks buddy
I think you will do great
@@nelsonmattoon150 thanks Nelson
@donmccord I've been driving 40 years and just got off the road now working for a company shuttling trailers to and from the Peterbilt plant here in Denton Texas
Thats awesome!! How many HP is on the CAT? 3406B?
I’m sure it’s only 350 or something at the moment but it’s air to air inter cooled so it has a good chance it could be a 425hp or with a set of injectors and turbo upgrade it can definitely be made into a 425hp motor
Im from South Africa 🇿🇦. There are very few k100s here. Its a legendary truck.
Do you feel 370HP is a bit underpowered on long hauls?
@@shahielharilal6710 only on long hills on mountains it does well in short burst but a long 2 mile slight uphill grade kills the momentum
Just found you on u tube. You have a nice truck and trailer. Maybe you will show me something. I'm just getting started.
Nice thanks for subscribing any questions feel free to ask I read every comment
I think I asked you before but is that big radio and 88 or a 44? Keep on cluckin and chicken trucking...and I'm back quiet.
88
When would you have purple pulling with the CAT?
It will be a while planning on going to get the truck after the first of the year gotta do a full check up on it’s condition then plan the down time to do the swap
Would you ever put a more powerful engine on purple?
@@shahielharilal6710 Im working on that I want to put a 525hp n14 Cummins in just for the fact it would be plug and play going from the m11 as all the connections and ecm harnesses are the same but I have a line on a free parts truck I’ve just gotta go get it it comes with a b-block CAT so more than likely purple will end up with a CAT unless I can trade the CAT for a good N14
Whats in that k100
Cummins m11 running a 430hp n14 ecm
What's yor average mpg? What is you're empty wt just on truck.
Average 5.8 to 6.2 empty weight is 34k
Empty weight on truck is 16,700
@donmccord good deal. Hauling 48 thousand should be no problem with flatbed thin.
I think once Trumps back in the White House he'll make everything right for truckers. Merry Christmas bro👍😎
I hope your right Marlin Merry Christmas brother
