Own 1 truck . Drive 1 truck . Way less headaches.
Agreed 👌 fleets are no fun at all.
Exactly one truck many trailers keep working
That’s why I love my T800 3406 glider. Never parting ways with it. I’ll just buy new trailers.
If your trailer breaks in Texas, go to Jefe's in Fairfield TX. All he does is repair and re arch heavy haul trailers.
Prices rising, thanks obiden.
The way everything is interconnected on trucks these days, one simple problem could cause a domino effect of fault codes. Few weeks back got a stop engine NOW coasted to shoulder after it shut down. Called our shop, they said you’ve got to many fault codes to even know where to start. Towed to dealership, it was a fuel line that came loose.
Sorry for all the bs you’ve been going through. Great to see some more content from you! God bless you & your family & your business this Christmas!!
Way to hang in there Gary. I’ve watched since the first couple videos an I believe you’re a no bullshit guy Mitch. Keep my eyes peeled for the rigs rolling. No expense spared it shouldn’t be treating you that way. Keep y’all’s heads up man! 💪🇺🇸🍻
Man it’s good to hear from hope the new driver can turn things around for you always enjoy your videos.
Your a bigger man then me I would have gone ballistic on the driver. I had one like him I’m solo now because I’m too dang picky
Mitch your videos are appreciated and needed.
Wow! 67 engine codes! Really makes me want to hang on to my old 6NZ.
As a diesel tech I really advise you do. I don't feel like a diesel tech working on these new trucks...more like an entry level computer engineer
man would i love to work along side someone like you. someone who's just so real and blunt. you cant beat guys like you. hard finding guys like that down here in fl. happy new year.
I really admire your patience, Mitch.
Gee ..one sentence your talking about how .. you have all this work and cant gwt equipment .. you are buying high dollar equipmet ..and tge next your complaing about how bad it is... i wish i had a situation where it where i could complain abiout plenty work making money ...but its hard .. .. .lol shit bteaks...drives screw.. up..trucks burn fuel.. women are a pain :in the "ass..its li c
Amen brother. If it weren't for DPF/DEF/Emissions issues, we'd all have very little down time.
Happy belated Thanksgiving to you and your family I'm glad to see another video and hope everything works out it hard finding a good driver one who especially takes care of there truck especially like your truck .
It always great to see your videos, sorry to hear about the truck, have a great week.
Glad to see a video post. Sucks royally that y’all are having so many issues. Both driver and vehicle issues. Wish yall the best for the future sir.
Longtime viewer, I'm sorry that this happened to you. I know it sucks because you want to find people like yourself, those who are kind and hard-working. Having said that, I can hear the frustration in your voice and your a much better person then I am
She's beautiful with all the scars.....stay healthy Good Luck 👍
Mitch good to see your brother Hope all is well with you and the wife. Sorry you’re having all those fault codes that’s way too many for one truck to have it one time unless it was driver induced which sounds like it might’ve been. Anyway thanks for the video you take care brother👍👍👍
Thanks for the vid been missing them lately stay blessed my friend
I wish you the best of luck man. 67 codes is ridiculous, so hopefully they make it right for you. I've noticed several guys around here have gone to Macks. I personally don't know if they are liking them or not but I do know I am seeing more and more of them.
biggest reason why is the quality checks at paccar. add on the parts shortage and people are gonna find something that can work
It's sad cause my dad and uncles swore by peterbuilt growing up and there saying as soon as there trucks went digital they went to shit.
Hopefully mack does better for you.
I wonder how long that bolts been loose. Christ. And to have a truck after 40000 thousand miles is bad but 10,000 miles what the fuck. Come on Peterbilt. Class needs to pay you back for down time
We took delivery in Aug 20 a 21 367 heavy haul. At 7k clutch was out of adjustment. I went to adjust it and found 4 bellhousing bolts MISSING, and all the remaining bolts loose. 1/4" gap bellhousing to motor. Peterbilt had to r&r imput shaft, bearings, clutch, and flywheel.
7k miles! Peterbilt use to be the benchmark, but it's now conglomerate junk like all the rest. Sad end of an era.
I sure do miss your videos Mitch keep your head up everything will be ok and God will get you through anything
I know exactly how you feel we have the same issues with our European trucks here in the uk 90% of the fault codes come from emit ion and ad blue systems, these problems are expensive to repair let alone the time the vehicle spends at the dealership, I would estimate nearly every truck in the Uk spends two to three days more in the workshop each month than trucks from 10 years ago, frustrating!! Keep at it Gary your doing great👍
Dang old man, good to see youre still kick8n. I call you old, i was born in 67 lol
Yeah it sucks to see a new truck get done that way I painfully aware of that stuff first hand, getting equipment is the easy part finding quality people is the mount everest of task.
Beautiful truck, though. I would love to drive one. Good luck to you, and enjoy that breakfast
Great to see another video brother, Good help is very very hard to find
Be cool to see a video on the Mac build process. How you spec them out and what your looking for. Even a factory tour as your trucks are being build would be wicked.
Sorry to hear the news you look after your rig well best wishes for the future 👍👍 best wishes from Ireland hope all goes well 👍👍🙏🙏
With your challenges no such thing as luck making money. You all made it work.. Sorry for your challenges but thanks for the video. God bless
Sorry to see the boo-boos on the Petercar.....Glad to see you again. All the best to you and the staff....and of course your family...Merry Christmas. LOve the vids!!! Be safe Mitch...
Glad to see you posting again, I just wish things were going better for you but I am sure you will work thru it if you can't competent drivers. We finally got tired of the Problems of Peterbuilt and have purchased 2 Western Star 49 X and I have say I have been VERY impressed with them and plan on buying more Star Car heavy wreckers in the future. I was also curious if you have looked into the new Eaton Endurant XD automated Trans? I believe it's the one Dratchev did a test session of several months ago.
Haven't heard from u in a bit SIR. KEEP PUSHIN FORWARD BEST OF LUCK.
Good to see you behind the wheel
22 has been a hard year for us as well. Keep the shinny side up
Nice to see you posting again and still chasing the dollar even if your not driving
Great video
Hey, Mitch, good to hear from you, wish your circumstances were better!
Good luck with Mack been down this road before!!
What why get mad over him leaving the trailer breaks released? I only ever pull the yellow when I park
Shit I’ve been heavy hauling almost my entire career and do it. Stupid reason to be mad
I think some drivers just get into the habit of pushing in trailer brakes to prevent brakes freezing on in the winter and continue all year-long. I'm the opposite and forget to do it in the winter when I should. Lol.
Mitch isn't a meanie Mitch has to sigh the check's nice to see you put up a video take care Merry Christmas 👍👍
Dude, I told you to buy the Mack!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i got my def heater changed in early october while on vacation to south florida,everything seems to running fine except the fault code didn't get erased after it was fixed.dang im loving south florida for vacation been 2x in 2 months.Hopefully the macks will work out for you, my company truck is 2018 pinnacle 521k
Good seeing you, Mitch. I’m hoping 2023 will be a better year for you. Would absolutely LOVE to hear your commentary about Elon Musk!
I gotta say man them are some sweet lookin rigs
Hi Mitch
Haven’t been seeing your videos? Thinking I wasn’t getting them because of me doing things wrong!
I just retired at 72 working in the trades (plumbing) 58 years! Most younger have zero work ethic’s no pride !
Hopefully see you soon. Cape cod John
I usually leave my red knob pushed in. Came in handy a few weeks ago when it was -12 here in Minnesota. Only brakes that tried to freeze were my drives but they broke loose 🤷🏾♂️
ECM failure if more than 8 codes generally.circuit power . Think I saw truck mud boggin. . Glad to see u are still around. Kickin ass n takin names . Damn shame on truck , reliable isn’t to the cards any more !
Lol last Pete I own died everytime every time. You made a right turn Rush ain’t got much of a place there
Mitch it’s been awhile and glad to see a video from you and hope life is going will
Insurance guys said my rates were high because my average employee age was too high...told them I learned my lesson with younger employees.....
🙌 We need more videos been missing you....
Man I hate emissions and all the headaches they cause. Not to mention the fuel economy loss and power you sir are a good man great looking trucks.
A lot of times when your wheel seal goes out at least in the rear your breather vent is plugged it can’t dissipate the pressure in the hub and it blows your seal out.
Next year has to be better, Thumbs up
The give a shit factor: no body gives a shit any more. Been down that road with driver’s (wheel holders) I wish u the best. Nearly impossible to find operators treat shit like it was there’s. Bad enough that the trucks won’t stay together. We always run are trucks threw the shop after a month an tighten cross member’s an frame rails bolts up an same time tighten the damn drivers up as well. I no the turmoil that ur going threw. I drink enough for both of us. Lol good luck. Glad to see you still ticking
On a Heavy Haul/Vocational Heavy Duty Truck I am a Firm Believer in Huck Bolted Frames.
Nice to see you behind the wheel again.
You could always hire the northern captain for a driver.
Complains about peterbilt... then says he's looking at getting a Mack! Hahaha! You're in for it now!
I will say if I'd found out sooner than you was able to I would of kicked that driver to the curb at a truck stop an wouldn't of sent him home on a plane I'd made him try an catch another driver to get him on his way that's the problem with this new generation today they want knew equipment but don't want the responsibility of properly taking care of it I could only imagine if that driver owned equipment like you had him in it would be trashed out in a year us old timers had to start out on old Autocars semi's and Diamond Reo's that didn't even have air ride seats or air ride suspensions let alone I started out on a 2 stick 5×4 drivers today have it made trucks got cold A/C and automatic transmissions with the luxuries of life but no responsibilities or appreciation for the equipment that's given to him to drive. Good luck on finding a good and responsible driver Mitch
Sounds like the quality control at Peterbilt has gone downhill.
def has we have like 5 pre def cat peterbilts and they are on the road more then the new trucks
Quality control of all makes have gone down hill
Pete's & KW's are built by Paccar, yes this DEF - DPF is a joke, it derates the horse power & cause problems.
When International came out with their new motor for the ProStar, they got the block for the 3406 , made some design look changes to the head but kept the block it self the same.I was a driver for a company who got them ( ProStars ) with the DPF system & mine had a bad injector in it, it injected fuel into the DPF filter big time & she smoked big time. Also derated , of course I was under a load.
I heard that A West Coast Southern state that buts up to mE-xi/co they are getting rid of the DeF garbage.
Everything did during covid.
It isn't quality control, it's management, engineering and manufacturing.
New equipment and trucks seem to be junk lately all the new equipment has problems that I’ve purchased my older equipment still going strong 😓
That pickup truck driver not know how to get a tire fixed ? 👣👣 Be walkin' soon ! This year has been a challenge for everyone...afraid we ain't seen nothin' yet !!! Sounds like a pinched wire with the DEF. No way did I ever want but one truck and trailer in all the years I trucked. Had enough trouble with the driver I had on it...and that was me.
Hired Dratchev ??? Merry Christmas and Best wishes for a awesome New Year.
Good to hear from you again Mitch sorry to hear about your bad luck they don’t build them like they used to and that goes for truck and driver and trailer’s but anyway I want to let you know that the 349 excavator you brought up to Canada last year for D&S bulldozing is doing good on the Amazon job it’s on the oil leak was from the oil controlled engine fan ,you keep us updated on how everything goes with that business going forward looking forward to seeing more of your content thanks
I seen that truck in wyoming while loaded he looked scared to drive wish you would come back miss seeing videos from you
Got a 23 model 389 end of August, its getting deleted now! Just can't afford the downtime, epa rules are fine and dandy but they don't pay my bills.
Would like to see a Frontier Bulldog Cap’n.🤘🏻
Careful drivers are sometimes hard to find. You are in the business, where extra care is very important to the load & the truck! Peterbilt is pushing trucks out of the factory way too fast. Keep the Faith!!! 👍🏻
Very nice set up ,
I am not taken sides for nobody , A shame that happened to the truck ,
Definitely got damaged up it could have been way worse , the old saying Knock on wood ,
67 fault codes , Whoever the driver was he did not know what the hades hes doing, I think I would have flew him far away too , They just do not manufacture trucks like they used to,
Myself I've been at it for a long time , 9 months ago I sold out , I just give up , regulations the state I live in aB5 struck us , Absolutely got tired ,
I set a firm price on what I had , this guy came up and he had the cash Told him good luck , There is a lot of bucks involved in what you are doing and have all the problems just not good ,
good luck with your trucking ,
be safe take care yourselves
That sux. Such a beautiful rig.
man its been a while, hope life is treating yall well
Nice truck 👌👌👌👌👌
would like to see your entire rig give us a perspective of the scope of your operation. thanks
New subscriber from central coast Australia, ur my type of guy, kinda reminds me of me when i was younger, 78y/o now, drove for 51 years, said what i thought, did a lot of over dimension, stuff back in the bad[good] ol days TLINE INTERNATIONAL,350 cummings 15 road ranger with dual range eatons, that thing would climb the habour bridge arch ,one load 4 days to go from sydney to newcastle 104 miles 20 foot wide drum filter to high for expressway overpasses the route the permit was over 450 miles 2coppers and 2 company escorts and elect company power pole wagon fun load????.
Man, that driver was rough on that truck. Shame since you have one of the nicest company rigs out there.
I heard there were talks about getting the DPF or DEF junk gone in 2024 models. Cant quote me on that, but its a hell of a dream. Cant stand the crap.
I run a one truck operation, sad to hear that steer wheel holder didn't take care of that nice truck.
Oh man that sucks , 67 faulty codes dang , I’m glad I’m way pre emissions 1979 Kenworth LW 924 double frame ,protruding rad,butterfly hoods,pacar bush cab,18 Eaton fuller , 46000 rockwells , best part a3408 cat , old reliable solid , I haul a lot of logs and heavy equipment up mountains,my hot rod is a 74 Pete 359 it also has a 3408 cat 10-4 trans double frame flat big flat top sleeper , my Pete don’t work no more. But my old kwhopper works every day
Doesn't matter what truck you buy they're all junk nowadays so just pick what you want and live what life throws at you. I myself run older trucks 1996-1999 and can completely go through everything on it, engine, transmission, differentials, suspension, electrical for half the cost of a new truck and don't have to waste time and money in the shop. Just have to stay out of California which doesn't hurt my feelings one bit.
That last driver was definitely just a steering wheel holder. Lol
Mitch good to hear from you miss your video's so did you have any damages from the hurricane that went thru few months back you was the second one I though about have a cousin on down where it hit hard still haven't heard from him but you was next on list I thought about but glad you and the wive are doing ok how about your son how is he doing ? well you stay safe and healthy and try and put some more video's out
You gonna go from Peterbilt to Mack !!?? That seems backwards
I know zilch about heavy-haul. I DO know that I've been driving commercial trucks for >30 years (I even had a 1st generation TriPac, installed by the Thermo-King dealer that designed and built them, on MY tractor).
The first trucks I drove were cab-overs with: mechanical engines - where a rod connected the accelerator pedal to the fuel pump, 9-spd Road Ranger manual trannys, manual steering, and when I was lucky, the A/C worked! Today, I work for a company that owns Freightliner junk. Do we REALLY need a tractor that can tell us that the Windshield Wiper reservoir is empty, but can't tell us WHY the yellow 'check' light came on? Do we REALLY need a tractor that SLAMS on the brakes because the 'crash avoidance' system thought that we were going to hit a 16' high overpass?!?
Buying all of these trucks with electronic gee-gaws and doo-dads makes fleets THINK that they are safer. Whilst all of us, that have been around for a minute, KNOW that the responsible party is behind the wheel. If I EVER have to buy another tractor (to feed my family) it will be a late '70s, early '80s tractor that doesn't play well with electronics!
Oh btw I take my 359 on vacation road trips, absolutely love old truck , I almost want to make my lw a twin stick truck , cause an 18 sped sure can get boring to drive
Been driving a 2023 Pete with about 35k on it and the cruise doesn’t function at temps below 45 and of course DEF sensor issues. It’s below 45 degrees in Michigan a lot so that sucks. The door guide between the hinges is breaking on many in the fleet as well and makes a nasty crack/squeak noise when the drivers door is used.
I run a '16 Cascadia with an ISX Cummins. The DPF was rebuilt/replaced at 427,000 miles. Now at 460,000 the EGR is acting up. The company I work for has our own shop. The EGR feeds the DPF there 3 sensors on the EGR that put up 200+ codes our mechanic replaced all 3. not sure if this will help
Hey not tryin to tell a man his business, but just take it from personal experience, if u think u have a lot of problems with a Peterbilt and Cummins, then go ahead and times it by 10 once u get a mack. Mack motor mp8 or mp10 have a lot more problem, mack almost made us go broke plus a couple other guys I know. I use to run a fleet of 80 of them now only have one on the road. Personally I like Westerstar with Detroit. Also if u have any trailer issues new or old then u need to take them to jefe welding in Fairfield Tx they r the best guys for lowboy trailer repairs. Doesn’t matter how bad of a break it is. Best of luck.
No headache rack where do you store all the equipment needed for pulling an RGN?
Hey I'm new to your UA-cam channel , am a truck driver here, if you don't mind, it we be a pleasure for me to work with you over there,
I'm Abiola by name from west Africa Nigeria , I'm 32 years old I have 3years experience in truck driving, and I love being a trucker that's my life, hope to hear from you soon ❤️💕
Maybe that pepto was needed from all those 💩 drinks he was ingesting 😂😂
The HYDI on truck hydrogen electrolysis units is supposed to reduce diesel particulates.(and might make the dpfs do a bit better)HYDI are based in Thebarton, Adelaide, Australia (but do international sales) and have been working on vehicle-mounted hydrogen electrolysis units for over 10 years. Some guys had a thing for the magnetic diesel fuel filters that could pick up flecks of steel.
Are you guys hiring right now? Good to see you back man
They need to take the DDF treatment out of the trucks cuz it's hurting a lot of people it's hurting a lot of them trucks and then Motors and them trucks can't do what they want all them fault codes show up and they need to take that emissions and that DDF fluid and throw it right down the throw it out in the throw it out in the landfilled I agree with you on that I'm not a 389 fan I'm more of a 379 Peterbilt fan because I like the 379 because I can rebuild them either in a can of 389s Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years hope you get feeling better glad to see you back on your
DEF has ruined the trucking industry period!!
Do lemon laws apply to those rigs? Laws in Texas allow for some response by dealers. Good luck u need it.
Trucks can lead to quite a bit of headaches.
So can truck drivers. It would be a honour to operate a truck like yours.
If you cross into Canada and need a driver I would be honoured to pull for you.
Hey Mitch !!! ""MERRY CHRISTMAS "" early as been a while since the viewers have seen your videos !!! 🤔🤔 Hope ALL worked out with ""Cummins "" & ""Pete"" ??? 😡😡🤬🤬 Nice to see the unloading as is that 1 of your trailers as NOT Orange ?? 😙😮👍👍👍👍👍
You need a big bull bar on front for big deer 🦌
Welcome back...
