I-68 32 miles in WV and 80 miles in Maryland of nothing but ups and downs and hard pulling a lot of work on engines transmissions and brakes But Orwell did the job stay safe Steve
Yeah and there only two freaking trucks stops on that hole damn road
I know I ran it daliy and there was nothing butt a hole in the wall truck stop back then, now its 2 I guess
I-68 is tough!!
Orwell gets the job done once again.
The wonderful sight of Orwell rolling coal each and every time Steve shifts gears never gets old. Plus the turbo whistling his merry tune.
Recognized Morgantown and 68 east been there so many times
I68 in Maryland is a tough one. There's a sneaky 6% grade there. You climb really fast but when you get to the top it's a 6% downhill. Run away truck ramp half a mile down the hill.
400 reliable Cat horsepower purring away just fine.
What is the rear differential ratio?
Diesel burns quite well !!! LOL😄
Somewhere between 3.90-4.33
Is my guess
Orwell will never give up
Orwell is the most powerful workhorse that I have ever seen, she is a really strong truck to hauling those heavy loads and yet she pulls it with ease, I just love that cabover.
Definitely not breaking any records power wise, but trucks then were geared really low to make up for lower engine power. It's why Orwell is pretty much geared out around 70
@@devonte3062A few upgrades on the B-model Cat & can easily get 600-700hp & 3.55 heavy duty rears will be jst fine for running & pulling
@@scottycollins1829 Orwell is as stock as when she rolled off the line 40 years ago
@@devonte3062 I knw that,, but it's ALREADY HAD a few upgrades!!!!! Not Anything wrong with a few more upgrades on it. Thats what many of us do to the Old School Iron out Doin Da Deal still. Have U ever seen Rodeo Reeds Channel he has an 88
Pete 379 with B-model Cat 15spd 3.55 rears & done a
Few upgrades on the mechanical Cat also putting approximately 650 hp hauling cows,hay, farm equipment out in the West Coast. We've done the same with our 84, 93, 95, 97, 2000 model W900L with Cats also
@@scottycollins1829 never heard of em. I’ll have to check that out
Hey, Steve! I passed you and Orwell as I was going westbound on I-68. What a thrill! Coopers Rock mountain slows a lot of traffic! That whole area is my stomping grounds..
Mine as well
The Stang gave ya a wave….
Seeing you travel the mountain Hwy near Cumberland, MD., triggers memories. Lost a B-52 ( Broken Arrow ) there in a snow storm in '64 if memory serves.
Did it have nuclear weapons on board? If not, that's not is considered a broken arrow.
Never mind, I looked it up. That was a really big broken arrow- two 24 megaton H-bombs. If they both had went off, there would be a crater nearly 6 miles across.
With your driving skills and Orwell's hard working "heart" I have no doubt that you will make it over the mountains safely.
lovely view Steve Orwell doing fantastic on hill climb lovely CAT purring sweet
Please give us gauge reading. Am sure you monitor temp gauges, pyromitor, air intake, tranny temp, differntial temps, etc. Heavy loads in mountains are a big challenge for a collector classic tractor trailer. I heard you say you got most of your gauges working.
Just drove that way a couple of weeks ago, Orwell pulled those mountains like a champ.
Those cones grow into barrels as the summer goes by in this state lol be safe Steve
Awesome video. Beautiful scenery. Great camera shots.😊
I love runnin heavy in WV i grew u near Summersville
Orwell is one sexy truck , I drove one like Orwell years ago
Keep looking good fsc
Orwell is the bomb. Steve your ok too. Lol . From Saskatchewan Canada
Gotta love the snapper heads that tailgate commercial trucks, one day someone will be pickin' their teeth out of the back of the trailer.
Was going home after finishing a well in Monesson Pa remember running a 110 drag racing to get home after a week and a half being away from home lol
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Steady as Orwell goes up and down the mountains at 90,500 lbs. Thanks for sharing stay safe Steve.
68 and 70 i have to say is ass road you can take your time and be careful but then the 4 wheelers get infront of you then slow down for no reason. We you being heavy it hurts you going back up the mountain. Jen Chris and yourself are doing one heck of a job on your channel, all that hard work is paying off myfriend congrats
You should have tried it when it was US 48 and US 40 and parts were Md. 144 to hancock and in the snow, Lotsa fun !
Ahh old Orwell makes an appearance after independence day! Good to see you again my friend!
I hated taking that 79 to 68 route. I'd always avoided that when I was otr
Oh man! I stop at Mount Morris truck stop almost every day and I’ve been hoping I’d run into you just to shake your hand. The one day I didn’t work and you’re there!!!! lol knew I should’ve worked all this weekend
Fuels a good bit cheaper in WV then that mt morris truck stop.😂
hey Steve love your videos you and Orwell be safe and keep them wheels turning
Videos like this are why I love this channel!
Orwell did a great job!
The old Pete had to strain between Mt Morris and Hancock Md the mountains in WV & Md. are steep , I ran them for 40 yrs.
Steve love your videos excellent editing. 😊😊😊😊
Great video. Love those old trucks. I grew up in and around them. Nothing better than the sound of a lil ol kitty Kat purring down the road. Curious what your pyrometer was reading on those hard pulls?
Is that some cowbell? My fever, it's cured! 😁
OLD PETIE WORKED HARD BUT GOT IT DONE
Let's hit the 👍 button, great job.
nice load
Good evening, brother 🙏
Used to go to Versa Paper in Luke, MD out there off the Frostburg exit. All the way south to the bridge crossing into WV. Make a right plant's on your left. East branch of the Potomac river runs alongside the property. Probably 8-10 feet wide and couple feet deep. Few would think of mountains and countryside like that when you mention MD. Safe travels and God bless
Hey our's does also struggle climbing mountains. Doing that during the winter is better cause engine doesn't get hot that much.
68 is got to be the longest 114 miles east of the Mississippi but I’d rather be going east bound on coopers rock than than west especially in the snow 😉
the old kitty cat will get it not to worry
You know what I think is pretty Steve (that black coal roaring out of them beautiful shiny stacks).
Kenworth and CAT, you can’t beat that. Could listen to that all day. Cheers for the video mate 🍻
Hey Steve how are you doing today my friend so I love watching your UA-cam videos they are very educational videos and keep up the good work and how is Orwell l love that truck so were can get a shirt form you
Steve i run those roads every day. Ive have always wondered how Orwell would pull coopers rock. But it did great as expected. I hope to run into you some day. Stay safe man 👍 here
Hi. Steve. I. Like. That big. Cat. Talking. Ya
Cool
U can't beat them old truck there back bone of america
--some comments below about upping your horsepower ... but you mentioned in another video about Gentry's truck "Rooster"; said you'd rather have the durability tradeoff. BSafe.
There is an old saying far is a long way !!! LOL😄
Run that rte with a 13 axle setup. Takes forever lol. Winter time is even more fun on I68..
need to bring home that 12v41 and get it running for that pete in the shop
Screaming Jimmy.....vs cat I'll take the cat
What is a 12v41 and will it power my log splitter?
Why don't they promote these diesel electric units like the ones that destroyed steam in the 50s and Early 60s a diesel engine has to provide power to an electrical generator that makes this junk move
Dude! You’re talking about trains!
Merhaba çok çok çok güzel bir video olmuş
you drove past my house on I68, Frostburg, MD
Nice job!!!
Something I got told 20+ years ago when I started driving truck you can go uphill slow as many times as you want but you can only go downhill too fast a limited amount of times
orwell may not like those hills for what he's hauling orwells a hard worker
That's the reason why I hate cable driven shifters.
You should have been there on the Old Road, US 40.
US-40 runs parallel to i68...that's why 68 is a roller-coaster similar to 40..
Run a shop close to 68/79 interchange if you ever need anything
Nice video
Hey Steve just a little advice whether you take it or not try to take it easy on the monster drinks and or any kind of pop like Mountain Dew the wife used to be an owner operator and she got hooked on that monster and now she's fighting diabetes which having the monster and the Mountain Dew to give her energy and keep her awake driving out there didn't help matters later on in life just my advice thanks
GP Transco at the beginning. Was Alex there spending four hours figuring out how to move his tandems?
Hey Steve. What's the bungies for on your headache rack handles? I learned alot in 362 Pete. Same engine n Trans. Are you getting matching rims for the front of Orwell? Love the channel!
304!
Would changing to a smaller set of tires make much difference for quicker pulling power while hauling heavier loads?
You haven't driven Orwell to Baltimore in months!
The port shutdown due to the ship taking the bridge down at the main harbor entrance. Nothing new until a few weeks ago.
Hi FSC
How often do you tarp? Been watching a long time and haven’t ever seen you use them.
Electric fire truck really 😂
Seems like the jokes write themselves
Yeah Pig Pens got a Rubber Duck 19 with Bears in the air
i love the video, greetings from indonesia👆
Truck trailer power engine caterpillar
Nothing like a cat engine
What does Orwell and the trailer weight empty?
Hey Steve, I have a question. Whats your opinion on Hot Shots? Don't you think theyre takiing jobs away from Car Haulers?
There is a place for everyone.
Doesn't matter if you run shipping or Hot shots, you can't beat the price to get a load.There aren't such large margins on the shipping price that you can always afford to be the cheapest.Refuse shipping that you can't get the money you need to drive.
didn't you pull that mack superliner wrecker over I 68 an 70 also and that thing was about 90,000 also
No. Was I-64 across West Virginia
Ain’t a driver in this country likes running across 68

Yes she is getting her neck in collar again and u want to get rid of her I wood not get rid of Orwell not with that cat in her no way osay
I’m on that route right now actually can’t stand the idiot car drivers out here
If you want to be competitive in todays world you will need to rip the guts out of Orwell and replace it with a big 600 hp engine with the appropriate high speed drivetrain that can handle all that extra power.
If not all you are doing is spinning your wheels.
Orwell is 50 plus year old technology and has no place on today’s highways as a daily dollar generator.
I remember back in the day downshifting and crawling up some of those dam hills while everything passed you.
Steve is a smart business man who thinks your opinion is like opening the window to exhaust the manure smell of your opinion.
🍭SWEET🍭🙏🏼💖👍🏻🇺🇸🌞
Straight trailer is no load add a 28 ft pup then you’ll know what a real load feels like

Should upgrade that engine, get some more power out of it. You're a safety hazard with how hard it is for that truck to keep up or merge at speed.
