You nailed the problem that people have with your channel when you said, “My situation is not your situation, and your situation is not my situation.” That’s a big mirror that you need to hold up to yourself as you blast everyone else and call them fake, or say that they’re lying about how trucking really is, and that YOU are the only showing what trucking is really like. Because sure, that is what trucking is really like to YOU, but that doesn’t mean that’s the truth of trucking to everyone else as well. But if people show or portray anything other than what YOU see as your reality of trucking, you call them out and try to attack their credibility. My truth of trucking and experience in the industry over the last 20+ years is nothing even remotely close to yours, and never once has been in all that time. But does that mean I think you’re a liar that needs to be called out?? No, because as you said, “My situation is not your situation.” So maybe take a step back and look at it from that angle to see why you get so much hate and push back for calling out others that don’t have the same experience in the industry that you’ve had. You summed it up perfectly at 23:13….
I'd like to know your whole story about trucking company driver. The whole time owner operator after you already had eighty thousand dollars in the bank? There's always more to the story buddy. And when I call somebody out for not telling the truth about trucking, it's because I know they're intentionally misleading people. If you've never had breakdowns on the road, then I don't think you ran for twenty years. Unless you never left your city
@@TruckingUnfiltered company driver in OTR, local, and heavy haul, then the last 14 years as owner operator (true owner operator) who has again done OTR, local, and heavy haul/heavy tow. When I bought my first truck I had $7,500 in the bank and got a loan on a $20k dollar truck. I’ve had plenty of breakdowns, plenty of hard times, but even far more good times. I didn’t say that with any hate towards what you’re doing, I’m just trying to open your eyes a little bit to the other side that may explain why you get so much push back on your videos. Whatever your intentions are with them, they come across as spiteful and jealous towards others. I’m not saying that’s what you are, but that is definitely how your videos look to a lot of people, and that delivery is likely a huge part of the reason that you get the response that you do.
@CaseyLaDelle u just said ur experience was nothing like mine but than you said you had breakdowns so what are u talking about ...u mean you never ran the loaf boards? Or never had a shop u didn't know work on your truck??
@@TruckingUnfiltered yes, obviously have had breakdowns and have had my truck worked on at unknown shops, that’s part of trucking. I’m talking about the severely negative outlook on trucking that comes across in your videos. Again, I’m not saying this is what you’re trying to portray, but the way it comes across is that you’re miserable and not making any money, and anyone who’s happy and says their making money is a dirty liar. And in that regard, no, that is NOT even close to my reality in the trucking industry. But as far as the load board/owner operator thing…. No, I have never gotten a load off a load board. I have also never hauled a single load for a broker. From the day I bought my first truck I’ve always had my own authority, my own insurance, and hauled direct for customers that I went out and got on my own. My reality in the trucking industry has been very good overall, including the 6 year OTR as an owner operator. And maybe the guys that you try to call out in your videos are saying the things they’re saying and doing the things they’re doing because that is THEIR reality in trucking. Just because it’s not yours, doesn’t mean it’s not theirs.
@CaseyLaDelle i've never insinuated that everybody.That's making good money is a liar. I have no idea what you're talking about.If you spend ten to twenty years in trucking and you make good relationships with people, you can make a fortune. I've always said that before.You obviously haven't watched very many videos. The only people that I call liars are the people that run on the spot market. And take fifteen days a month off.And then try to portray, that's how they support their whole family. If it's one thing I know very well, it's spot market o t r trucking. And again, i've always said, if you spend years building relationships, you can make a fortune. So again, to clarify what I talk about in my videos is o t r spot, market freight, and everything that goes with it
1969 Autocar Semi-Truck 8V71 Detroit Engine it a split stick i had a garage change it over to a 10 speed i was the 4 owner it's started to cost me some money but i never gave up i drove the truck for 34 years' i bought it back in 1984. They have to walk in your shoes to understand what's going on. Good luck in your future.
Get another 500k. The difference is the Volvo drives down the road like a dream and has a great turning radius. So if you don’t fall asleep driving because your Volvo it too comfortable as a 20 yr old truck then you’re doin alright.
I’m a Volvo D13 guy… I see a lot of 1st generation Volvo running hard mine is 2012 second gen 950k original miles love it saving to get 3rd gen next year CASH
Absolutely do not sell the truck. You just spent over 20k, You won't even get that if you sell. The key is being preventative. Many of my trucker friends say your ocd why you change parts thats still work. Answer because I go based on miles. It keeps your equipment reliable. You are correct 1.9 million mi thats about right when those components go out actually thats dam good miles. It's easy for people to comment do this do that. Shit cost money it's not that simple. Your compressor bro isn't bad it's your dryer cartridge. Now if you can change it then change it cause of miles it's good preventative maintenance. Now I do all my own repairs but in your case where u broke down i wouldn't have had a choice but to do what u did. You will make that money back bro. I rather have a old reliable truck then these new garbage automatic trucks.Thank God you didn't have automatic trans those are about 15 to 17k for just trans. Just my 2 cents 😂.
@Trugginglife thanks for the great comment. We think it actually was the compressor we took off the main feed line and ran the engine, and it was blowing quite a bit of oil out of the back of the compressor. Sorry, I couldn't get that on video. My phone was on the charger.
You really think this guy really spent 20k on the truck? Lmfao you believe anything that comes out this clowns mouth? 😂😂😂😂😂 dude. Trucks not his. He's a driver that makes 55 cents a mile. He can't sell the truck thats not even his. Dont be fooled man. If it was his truck he would pull the transmission out himself. I'm sure he has hillbilly friends that would help him.
Guys what he's not saying is the truck was prob is ONLY option lol not like he was going around with a bag of cash or bank financing to pick any used truck he wanted. He's basically lease purchasing the truck lol
Wish I had a dollar for all the times I saw someone dump a bunch of money in a truck and then turn around and sell it. And buy another and it breaks down. Once it's fixed
im convinced all tha guys who comment on any trucc video and tell somebody whats best and how to do it.....all just guys who drive for AMERICAN TRUCC SIMULATOR
@ i mean its the only explanatiom. because the honest to god truth and fact of the matter is...what i eat dont make you shit....just because your 12.7 60 series works for u...whos to say its gon work for me and what i got going. and anybody that actually knows anything out here understands there way more than one way to skin a cat in this industry!
It's idiotic to even suggest selling after spending that much on fixing it. And like you said, what are you going to do? Trade up 1 used truck for another that will ultimately have issues too? That's the dumbest thing anyone could have said to you.
Plenty of new trucks break down. Even with a warranty, the down time is costly. You just happened to have multiple breakdowns in a short time period. Like you said, now you’re not likely to have any major component failures for a while.
have not even seen 2 mins of video and the answer is no ....stay with this truck and get rid of the debt ...the world is to unstable ,when southgeorgia went and bought another truck i thought he was crazy ...clear your debt run what you own ....
Every truck needs maintenance and repairs. It’s really that simple. The fact you bought the Volvo at the mileage you did, and then those parts went out isn’t a “junk truck” issue, it’s a timing issue. As you said, you’re gambling. I’m sure you were well aware with those original components at that mileage, it was essentially a ticking time bomb on those parts. Doesn’t make it a junk truck one bit. My last truck had the 04 model Acert. GREAT engine but damn was she thirsty. I had so many negative comments about the reliability of that truck in my videos lol. No major issues over my ownership. I decided I wanted to get a better fuel mileage truck. So I went out and bought this current truck, 2020 579 with a paccar. LOTS of negative comments there 🤣. I had one major breakdown, camshaft went bad and that’s an engine out job. Full warranty work. Basically had the engine rebuilt (no new liners though) completely under warranty. Other than that I’ve replaced a couple sensors, all the tires, shocks, and that’s it in 230k miles of my owning it. Point is a trucks a truck. They all have problems but not all are as problematic as the fan boys of other brands want you to believe.
Honestly, I know u just put a new trans but I’d consider getting a newer truck in a future when you’re done paying off that one, why not a cascadia with a dd15 ?
a truck with 2m on it is like a car with 200k,a Volvo is like having an International,have you looked into why your steer tires are wearing or are you just going to keep putting on tires
I have four cars in my household, and they all have over 200k on them also I don't know what you're talking about. This truck does not wear steer tires. You must be talking about my old company truck from four months ago. And that was kingpins
Now that's funny! With all due respect to you, I'm sure you know the reference. Back to the topic I see most telling you that you should keep the truck. Like your content!
These videos are truly sad. Uploader is on the edge of tears, talking about massive debts and massive repairs. At the end of the day, you’re slaving away from money that’s being wasted to pay off debts and pay off repairs on your vehicle. You’re using to make money very toxic work environment. You need a change of speed you should just work somewhere in Florida or Texas… all this money you’re making is a mirage it’s a fantasy. It’s not real because at the end of the day it’s all getting blown away on expensive food at truck stops and thousands of dollars in repairs. Trucking is extremely toxic. You’ll never come out ahead. It’s a constant rat race. You’re in a sinking dingey facing a tsunami struggling to stay afloat. Sad people are still doing that job after the government control making electronic logs and removing paper logs.
There is no preventative maintenance on a transmission other than changing oil and driving it nice. Same for turbo the only preventative maintenance you can do is when done driving idle truck at least 5min to prevent bearings from getting carbon on it.
