    Please understand the freight they are carrying before you leave ignorant comments. They haul jet engines basically airport to airport they will never be backing into tight spots. This truck is perfect for what they are using it for. If you listened to them they said they are out for 8 to 9 months then take the winter off. This type of hauling is not for everyone but perfect for the ones that like it. This is a perfect job for husband & wife teams.

    I worked at a Kenworth dealership/repair shop years ago. We occasionally had some extended sleepers come through. The longest one had three rear axles and a tag axle that was under the sleeper. It had slide outs, full-size washer/dryer, shower, bathroom, kitchen (with stove, fridge, freezer), and a master bedroom.
    The back deck plate was a patio with a grill and smoker. The couple said they spent close to $2 million for the custom tractor and matching trailer. They hauled exotic cars and could fit up to 9 in the trailer. 4 down and 4 up using the lift, plus their personal subcompact that was loaded at the back of the trailer.

    I occasionally see extended tractors of this sort on the road, for some reason nearly always pulling trailers for moving companies (Mayflower is one I definitely remember), and it amazes me how the drivers can maneuver these monsters.

    • @casey6556
      @casey6556 2 роки тому +73

      From what I’ve read, the reason that they’re usually moving company trucks is that these trucks are limited as to their total weight as well as the trailer size, so the only time you have the spare weight to put into a giant cab like this is when your cargo isn’t very dense (as is the case with moving personal possessions or parcels).

    Thank you for this video... great interview. I've reading many of the comments and replies below, 85% of it is ignorant BS. I'm a retired owner operator with 51 yrs of trucking behind me.... so I do know a little about trucking. This couple is leased to Southern Pride, which is primarily a Very Specialized carrier in the transporting of Military and commercial jet aircraft engines... which generally only weigh between 3,000 to 8,000 lbs (depending on type and application) and they rarely haul more than One engine per trip... though, occasionally will have Two or Three depending on engine size, so weight is NOT a big concern as far as the truck is concerned.
    Also, they generally haul engines that are scheduled for overhaul on the eastbound run... usually to either General Electric's Jet Engine division or to Pratt & Whitney, and return westbound with a "fresh" engine(s) and the time factor from point "A" to point "B" in either direction is Very "tight" and there is NO time for sitting around truck stops or anywhere else en-route... which is why ALL of Southern Prides Owner/Operators have "Large Cars", Not "just" the Smiths here in this video... though some are Not as long in the wheelbase as this one.
    Southern Pride also does GSE moves (Ground Support Equipment) which also includes Over-dimensional as well as aircraft parts, not only in the contiguous lower 48, but also internationally.... I think that in the now 40+ years in business.... they probably have things figured out a bit better than some of the "expert" nay sayers on here.
    Southern Pride Only accepts the Very Best of the Best for Owner/Operators with Years of proven experience behind them and with impeccable credentials, both as previous long term Owner/Operators and in personal character.... which would exclude At Least 85% of the "wanna be" (re: Phony) truck drivers I see climbing out of trucks these days, with nose rings, spandex, tattoo's from head to toe, pajamas, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum... and no real integrity to speak of.
    Over 90% of Southern Prides Owner/Operator teams are Husband & Wife (as in Male & Female), and most of them have been married for Many years with no prior marriages..... they are "Solid" people. The Owner/Operators who have what it takes to "make the grade" and are excepted to run for Southern Pride... make a Very Nice living, close to $300,000 per year... Minimum.
    As Chris Smith stated... they spend most of the year, on the road... straight out with very time sensitive, High Value loads, the rigs that SP's O/O's have... are built for what they do (though there are some that have bought "2nd hand", but are very suitable for the running and loading conditions with SP, so all this garbage I'm reading on here about "they're too heavy" - "too long" - "can't back up a trailer" - "very impractical", etc, etc, etc, ad-nauseam.... is pure BS, written by a bunch of faceless "keyboard cowboy experts" who are completely ignorant of the subject at hand.

I'm not playing that game with you, nor anyone else.... nor do I need to give a detailed report to you on my years of experience.... which is now approaching 51 years, over 30 years as an O/O... and just so you know... my longest load was 287' 9" long... a refinery vessel hauled to the refinery way up in Yellow Knife, NWT. You don't need 53 nor 48' trailers to haul jet engines... SP is legal in All 48 states.

      It's not always practical. Try getting a set of chains on that truck when winter closes in and mountain passes require them. Of course that's not what this truck is for, they take winters off. But not every truck can have tight fitting rear wheel fenders like that. Mine has quarter fenders and mud flaps, which leave plenty of room when I need to stop and chain up.

      When I started out it was in a Rmodel mack, no power steering no air conditioning no stereo and barely had heat and drove oversized loads of precast concrete, some loads were 16 foot wide. Sometimes hard to handle in such trucks like that. But we always got our product to the job safe. It's just sad to think what trucking use to be and what it is today. I work for a company that's probably the biggest in the world if not the biggest. I have watched the industry change so much throughout the years and the people being hired today do not care anything, no pretrip no post trip, just making money. These people on the road today n there electronic devices, every night looking out for people swerving into my lane and truck driver watching videos going down the road. It just insanity. It bothers me that there isn't much professionalism in the trade anymore. I stopped training drivers because some want to learn but most don't. But it nice when a guy with 25 years experience says that they learned something new training with me. It's just you got through your career always in a professional manner, always. I tell alot of these new drivers that there is no more professionalism in the trucking business or very few show it. I say, if your not going to do it in a professional manner then don't do it. Sorry you the wrong impression of me. You know when you spend your whole life in a truck you either do it right or you become a shortcut driver. That's the reason why I stopped training drivers. To many shortcut driver's today
