Years ago my late brother was driving a load of lumber & got pulled over. NYS Trooper was positive the load was over weight & called in the portable scale unit. Truck was way under in the weight department & trooper asked why my brother was going slow. Like you, my brother was owner/operator & the company that hired him paid by the hour. My brother responded “It’s simple, I get paid by the hour, so I don’t push it.” Trooper just shook his head! This was back in late ‘70’s, but I still chuckle about it. Lost my brother 10 month ago, he owned his business 40 years, sole employee & did very well with it. He lived his dream & accepted the Lord before he passed. I look forward to seeing him when the good Lord calls me home. God bless you and your beautiful family & may God grant you traveling mercy’s as you live your dream!
I knew when I saw the load info in yesterday’s video. I asked if it was Toshes Rd. That project you delivered to, the one in Chatham (*Chat-am), I supervise the on site Medic. The General Contractor is Wood Group, PLC and the project name is Maplewood Solar Project. It is an 1100 acre solar power generation farm. The pipes that you mentioned are called torque tubes. The panels mount to the torque tube which mount to steel piles and designed to rotate 180 degrees to track the sun 12 hours a day.
@@JustTruckin no problem. When I saw it in yesterday’s video, I was bummed that I wouldn’t be there to meet you. I will be leaving Virginia Beach in the morning, driving out and doing a site visit there tomorrow so I will have missed you by 24 hours.
@@sachadee.6104 the site safety program requires anyone, outside of the marked POV parking area, have a hi-vis vest, steel toed footwear, foam lined glasses, gloves and hard hats. Even though it is “open air” there is a ton of work being done above head heights
Justin I love the fact that you and your wife have such a positive attitude about life and everything around you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy your new boat 🙏
Grew up with my dad into boats. We had mid-size sleeper w/ 2 engines through my early teens. It was fun doing a family camp out for a week along a river, but I swear my dad spent more time repairing the engines than anything else. Glad it had two engines, because one was always busted.
I'm sure you've heard it before, but at certain times you bear quite the resemblance to Paul Jr. from American Chopper (at least at a quick glance). Congrats on the boat, I'm sure there will be many wonderful memories made with the family.
I live off 29 north of where you dropped the panels. I know the exact spot you got pulled over. They camp out there a ton. Also can confirm the people at that Circle K are awesome.
A bimini top was one of the best things I bought for my sailboat. Sailed south from Sanibel and didn't think we needed suntan lotion. Nope! reflections off the waves turned us into lobsters! Just a heads up before the boys get burned.
Hello sir Thanks for all the info you share I passed you early morning Tuesday on i85 going into North Carolina going north from South Carolina I was gonna honk but I noticed last minute and didn’t wanna scare you on the road. I said to myself oh snap on that’s him with the C on the Volvo lol Stay safe
Justin looks like a nice boat brother and you bought it from somebody that knows what they’re doing that is a big big plus when it comes to a boat👍👍👍And I guess the most important part is Tdubbs Likes it
Your birthday and Father’s Day has been good to you this year!!!!! Congrats on the new boat can’t wait to see the memories made with the boat and new car awesomeness!!!!!
Thanks for making positive videos, in every way. i have been thinking that your it's and p's comment is you saying that you are going to check your tires and padlocks, to know that they are safe and sound; then i realized that you have been saying, thoughts and prayers, my goof.
You will have a good time with you boat. I’ve got to tell you that as one of three brothers our family had some awesome experiences out on the boat with our family. The kids will learn responsibility as well.
You’re absolutely right about it being a hole in the water money is dumped into. Having spent a few years building and repairing boats for people 80% of the problems go away by keeping the fuel system cleaned and doing a couple hours maintenance every few months.
that's why I think most people should just rent a boat and try it out for a season before considering how often they will use it. If is something you do frequently and can afford the maintenance then it would be worth it.
Two best days of a boat owners life... the day he gets it and the day he gets rid of it lol... just. Kidding. Have lots of fun. Go places with it. Don't get locked into one area and make lots of memories.
Positivity perfect. Watch out fur any fur kids running down the streets, they don't know why but are having to deal with what happens to fur kids if no one woves them. You and your family have really nice positive attitudes. We need more of this especially now, stay safe, family first always
My family doesn’t live that far from you. We’re about an hours drive from Charlotte up in the Hickory/Taylorsville area so it was kinda cool to randomly find you on UA-cam and then see you driving around in areas I’ve been through. My uncle is a trucker, too. He started out hauling for Guardian Freight before Shull Transport bought them out. Him and my Aunt eventually took a chance, took out a loan and then bought their own truck. My Aunt became my Uncle’s dispatcher and 10 years later they have 4 more trucks, my Aunt is still dispatching and their business is booming. My Aunt and Uncle made the best decision of their lives by taking the risk of going into business for themselves. My uncle doesn’t get to see his family as much as he would like, but he has become so financially secure that he could retire anytime he would like and be set for life.
Just passed your truck in macon Georgia... I saw it and was like is that it!? And it totally was with the paint job going into the headlights. It dwarfs every truck in the parking lot lol. Love it
Well how cool is that... I delivered at the same solar farm last Friday morning before Father’s Day. Lots of friendly guys there unloading. The one bearded guy is my neighbor from down in Louisiana. Nice boat also.
Grew up with a bass/ski boat and it was a great youth. Get to the lake before sun up and do some fishing for a couple of hours. Then before everybody else got there and while the water is still glass, ski.
Don't know how I got on your channel, but thought it was cool that you live in my stomping grounds, I am in Pelzer now looking for a new home in Mauldin or Simpsonville here soon...take care enjoy the boat on Hartwell.
Hey Man, I just found your channel and I really like it, I live in Gaffney,SC myself and I did drive a gas truck in 3 neighboring states. I'm familiar with some of the roads you drive and it brings back memories of watching you. Be very careful up in the Gaffney area on I85, road construction and many fatalities in this area. Also crawling with Bears Good luck my friend.
Solar panels and wind Mills ended my 20 yrs boilermaking local 169 Michigan! Cole fired powerhouses not needed and more! Drove trucks in the marines, sons just about 18, wanted to have him come and boilermake with me! Thinking of sending him to cdmi truck driving school!!! Got a VA lone can use yet for a truck!! Son is on latest year of school!
I just ran across your channel today and the 1st video I watch you are going thru my old hometown of Chatham Va 😂 GPS is still 40 years behind schedule in that area. Once you turn off of Highway 29 you better have an old school map handy!!
Love your videos. I am currently in trucking school in California and I am looking to buy a truck. So I’ve been bungle watching your videos and wanted to thank you for all the information you share. By any chance do you have videos about what to do about insurance? Maybe what we are looking for as new drivers and suggestions on who to go through or what you did. Again thank you!
That is a good starter boat. The Bravo I outdrive is nice and simple. If you ever move up to a non pure ski boat, consider the dual prop Bravo as it will get you out of the hole faster and handle better docking and rafting up. The cabin is great for naps for the little one. Raised my kids on a 24ft Rinker deck boat. Never forget those memories.
I worked for Bayliner and we built the maxum boats too. Be built a 32' open now before the one you bought. Very well built and you will have lots of years of good boating a head of you.
That’s another reason that I stop driving trucks over the road the different laws in different states especially Ohio are really bad and then when you have road closures or detours in mistake they are pretty much unforgiving but you seem to be doing a great job of yourself keep up the good work I’ll keep watching your videos have a nice day God bless Meagan
Have to agree with you man manners make the man and life a lot easier you guys have a lot better roads than we do here in ireland and in Europe love the way you do it god bless keep her on the black and out of the green from me here in Ireland 👍👍👍👍🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
How do you keep such a positive attitude no matter what’s going on, actually watching your videos has help me calm myself down, it’s just not worth the tension it puts on yourself and others
Justin all the piping is for running all the cables that go to the solar panels. Then to the collectors and battery storage buildings or trailers. Or even to the power lines.
Can't believe the weather you are having. I live in Manchester, UK, called the rainiest city. Not seen any rain for a month, and lovely and warm, although I've known June to be hot, for me anyway :) :). The rainy clouds you've got is what it usually looks like over this side of the pond :)
Hey Justin. I was driving the Mobile Demo Lab this morning. No Idea you pulled in behind me. I live in Greenville and have been following you since last October. We are friends on Justtrucking Family on Face Book.
I subscribed to help ya out, man. Kool videos. My cousin drives OTR, My uncle drove his entire life, my cousin followed in his footsteps. I thought about it, but I don't wanna drive a big rig, too much responsibility for me. I guess its like anything ya do in life the more ya do it the better ya get. Only way I do that job is if I drive a straight truck or cargo van...... I been guttering homes for 30 years of my life, I guess the pay is some what the same, we get paid by the ft, where a lot of drivers get paid by the mile. We hang 800-1000 ft a day, n make bank, I work with my brother, he taught me everything I know. Hard to find another crew that can hang with us, A lot of times we are at home by noon or 1 and made more than people working 10-12 hour days. Don't get me wrong, we work our ass off, it doesn't come easy by any means, we just been doing it forever and know whats up.
I just watched one of your other videos about the hard breathing in the mucus check your trucks AC you live in there a lot if there is mold in the condenser you’re going to feel it
That's funny, I must have hearing problems, I thought you said $2.89, Here in Seattle it's $3.89. Glad you're doing well, T's and P's for you and your Awesome family!
Bayliner? I'm sure you sold it as soon as you realized what a poor job BRP did when building it. Yes, the same company that makes SeaDoo, SkiDoo and Brunswick bowling balls. And Can-Am overpriced 3 wheel "motorcycles".

Keep your engine block just as clean as you can. A dirty engine traps heat, and runs hotter.

You made the Danville Va. bypass DOT famous. They’re good guys, I run through there regularly.
Thats a nice boat!! Thanks for another great post. Thanks for sharing a part of yalls lives with all of us UA-cam folks! much love and respect!
Great video Justin, congrats 👏 on the boat.
Hope it serves the family well for many years
I live off 29 north of where you dropped the panels. I know the exact spot you got pulled over. They camp out there a ton. Also can confirm the people at that Circle K are awesome.
Nice boat, beautiful family, excellent work ethic, congratulations young man
Love your videos. Keep living the dream my trucking brother.
I lived and trucked in NJ & nyc. 4 most of 40 years. now retired and watching you young guys on tv and not my windshield.keep on trucking
Hey thanks for takin me along. I trucked for 35+ years and it’s still in my blood. That’s a nice boat you bought. Take care and have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️
A bimini top was one of the best things I bought for my sailboat. Sailed south from Sanibel and didn't think we needed suntan lotion. Nope! reflections off the waves turned us into lobsters! Just a heads up before the boys get burned.
your videos and commentary is really great i enjoy the windshield time. very interesting. beautiful family. keep it up.
Hello sir Thanks for all the info you share
I passed you early morning Tuesday on i85 going into North Carolina going north from South Carolina
I was gonna honk but I noticed last minute and didn’t wanna scare you on the road. I said to myself oh snap on that’s him with the C on the Volvo lol
Stay safe
You are incredible at making videos about trucking entertaining. I know I am not the only one binge watching your videos.
Beautiful family sir. God bless you.
Congrats on the new boat!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
You are amazing what you do driving all the miles keeping your positive attitude ✨

Remember what BOAT means; Bust Out Another Thousand. A Boat is a hole in the water you throw money into.

Sweet boat. $$$ Congrats
Be safe
Chatham,Va. is just up the road from where I live...alot of tobacco farmers are giving up land to solar projects like that around here.
That's funny, I must have hearing problems, I thought you said $2.89, Here in Seattle it's $3.89. Glad you're doing well, T's and P's for you and your Awesome family!
QT in my town here in central TX has diesel at $2.67 5 cts more than low grade gas. Been like that for 2 weeks now.
Small boats with new Engines are the best b/c you have time and money to take them out. The smaller boat allows for fast loading and unloading.
The lockout is probably to stop bots from spamming bids on loads, like scalpers use bots to scoop up concert tickets.
Man I have some great memories of my Bayliner at the lake with family and friends. Enjoy
Bayliner? I'm sure you sold it as soon as you realized what a poor job BRP did when building it. Yes, the same company that makes SeaDoo, SkiDoo and Brunswick bowling balls. And Can-Am overpriced 3 wheel "motorcycles".
@@bluerider7922 No but it did fine for me when we had it, better than any bass boat I had.
Katie necklace looks great CONGRATS on the boat 🚢
Thank You
Wow nice looks beautiful CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BOAT
That’s a good looking boat!
Great clean engine. I am sure there are not many that keep them that way.
Awesome video!
I have a 2001 maxum 2300sr and it has been a great boat!
Im diggin it bro!🤣🤣
Thank you for the video.
