You came up in my algorithm because I subscribe to anything about TRUCKS! I'm from Jacksons Gap, AL. Tallapoosa county. Shout out to BAMA! ROLL TIDE!!!!
What part of bamma ? my dad was from southeast bamma. And that reminds me of when I did the log deal but here in central Florida we had to deal with sand had to get drugged in and dragged out lol. And a lot of other drivers and even the truck owner thought I was crazy bc while I was waiting I had my polish and rags keeping my rims and tanks it was an old 85 flc freightliner small bunk bc 400 just a 9 spd idr the gears but it would top out at 90 loaded or empty
@@251boys I also did the dump truck deal and same thing I kept it looking like a regular otr truck inside and out and it was a 97 378 Pete s60 det 18 spd and an aluminum body but I had other drivers at the clay pit actually stop me just to say how good it looked that made me proud and the owner really liked it him and I was the only one that drove it bc it wasn't too bad to start and if wasn't careful it would get away from ya
Hats off to you'll man. We loggers here in upstate SOUTH CAROLINA. When we have mud. I hate it. But I'll get the caterpillar. Blade and scrape the road.
You must be taking those load over to GP. JUST NORTH OFF OF 84 .ON THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER ON THE GA SIDE OF THE TRI STATE AREA DOWN THERE. I've hauled in bye product and hauled out completed product from there be for. Or partly completed product to another GP IN NORTH EAST GA.
You guys haul to any Canfor sawmills? I’m up in northern British Columbia, all tri drives and mountains up here haha so crazy seeing the logging on flat land, mud can be brutal though. You guys don’t know about chains either… God bless
@@251boys ah just curious how big Canfor is down there right now, they’re moving everything south right now because we have a terrible leftist government. Might have to escape across the border if it keeps getting worse, maybe you fellas need some experienced mountain men illegals to haul them logs! ;)
They also have a paper mill in Selma Alabama last time I was down there in 209 pine tree s could smell them trees even before I was the truck hauling it
I haven’t gotten my cdl yet I just got my permit cause they said I would skip half of the class and just start driving and he said if I proved that I can drive within 2 weeks I would have my cdl
@@brandonfrolik7821 man I have so many questions I start in august on the 19th is it hard? What’s the process like I don’t want to learn automatic I want to learn manual. How do they teach the pre trip inspection?
@@dooley251 so it’s going to be a little different of a timeline for the two of us because my job sent me for a 3 week class instead of an 8 week class. The way they did our pre trips were they sat us down in their class room and showed us a video on it, after that we went outside and our teacher laid hands on everything so we could see them. It’s not hard at all, for us atleast they tested us on portions of the truck and trailer that they randomly chose before our tests. Study and get to know that whole truck, may be easy or it could be the hardest part, you won’t know till you do it. The in cab portion of it is super simple, you name your gauges and what they do. This part stressed me out because it was a do or die kinda thing, your air brake tests are an automatic fail if you mess them up, although if your instructor sees you’re on the right track and not skipping steps all over the place then they’ll have leniency on you, everyone gets a little stressed about tests and they understand that. The whole class isn’t hard, if you listen and pay attention you’ll do just fine. I didn’t know how to drive a manual till I got there. Learned on a Tuesday and drove to Montgomery on that Thursday. They’ll take you to the commercial park and you’ll do lap after lap after lap until you get the shifting.
@@dooley251 Another thing is, I had already tested out by time the 8 week class was doing their backing practice. We sat around and watched them and some of them back those trucks up completely opposite of what the instructor said to do. If you’ve backed any sort or size of trailer up, cool, if you haven’t, people will try and teach you that left is right and right is left. DONT LISTEN TO THAT, it will only confuse you when you’re trying to do it. Turn towards the problem. If your trailer is to far to the left and it needs to go to the right, your problem is on the left, turn towards it and same with the other way around.

@@251boys I’m in Prince George BC we have 4 huge pulp mills in town and now we’re down to 2 operational unfortunately.
I know the struggle to keep your ride clean. I run a concrete boom pump and seems like soon as you wash them it rains and you end up in a mud pit 😂
Always gotta rain after you get it clean😅
