- Customizing My 2021 Freightliner Cascadia Company Trucks | Bright Mountain Inc. Pt. 1
Hey everyone! In this video, I add a few missing components to my 2021 Freightliner Cascadia company trucks. I want the very best for my employees, and I know how being over the road for several weeks can be. That's why I am making these trucks a home away from home for my drivers. I hope they enjoy the amenities as much as I know you enjoyed watching this video! ☺️

I've got so much respect for any modern truck driver like yourself that isn't afraid to get their fingers dirty by doing their own maintenance and knowing how to do it and not being afraid to do it instead of making somebody else do basic things like this I got a lot of respect for you
Shelby big nose
@@specificsjsvn3350 not exactly sure what that has to do with anything
@@specificsjsvn3350 ah yes of course base somebody's work ethics and character off of a physical notation, brilliant!
@@chrisbowman8415 I am just amazed!!!😯
hey hey their guy no need to pat her on the head for basic crap...what exactly is this respect of yours like she invented hard work for truckers..lmao or is the fact that she is a girl!? oh noess..jesus thirst is a hard thing
Everybody needs a boss like you. You care about the happiness and comfort of your drivers. Love that.
This girl has a big nose
Specifics Jsvn What's the point of this 3rd grade comment? This woman has done more for trucking than most.
@@jondoe6627 I forgot grown people don't make comments on someone's appearance lol. What planet are you from lol!
She might have been commenting on the dog. And for Shelby the star thing you were talking about is a "TORX" bit. It also can be aquired in various sizes just like flathead and phillips screw driver's. It's amazing to see how well you've been doing since starting driving and now aquiring additional trucks and getting your company up and running. T's & P's.

I as a woman, solely own a business, a transportation business, that’s also within a male dominated business, I for one appreciate Shelby and BKM and adore Dakota🎀
Shelby reminds me of myself, she runs after people to help them. When she “gets” to help people, she gets so happy it makes her so HAPPY, she hops up n down.
I am brave strong female fan of a brave strong hardworking female.
Are you okay... could I call somebody for you 🤩⁉️
I love your videos, Shelby. Wanted to mention that it's not good to lay a refrigerator horizontally because the oil from the compressor will start to move out and into the coolant lines, clogging them. I found this out when I bought a mini fridge and had an issue where I had to let the fridge settle for 48 hours because I layed it down to transport.
A neat trick for sharp edges is getting a piece of hose that fits on the edge, cut it lengthwise and stick it over the edge, and you essentially get a perfect size grommet to protect your wiring
I’m driving a 2017 Freightliner Cascadia right now. I had no idea there was a little light on the bottom side of the shelf above where you put the fridge until I saw you turn it on! Thanks! You learn something new everyday!😂
love that phrase "the dude behind the camera" its catchy
I agree.. .but he needs to put the camera down and flex a little more muscle
@@bobt6820 don't be a simp. She's only doing it for the video and his letting her shine for her OWN CHANNEL. Just relax bud.
@@ronijr4918 Don't worry I'm plenty relaxed...
Sorry my opinion upset you but it's cool...You'll get over it.
@@ronijr4918 the dude has his channel.?
@@ronijr4918 How is that simping
Hey Shelby, I use mesh toiletries bags to organize my sockets, wrenches and such in my tool bag. If you get different color bags, easier to remember which one to look in given the task. Cheers, safe travels, hammer down and catch ya on the flip flop :)
Shelby, FYI for future trucks...if you have a refrigerator laying down, when you stand it back up you should give it several hours (preferably overnight) for the coolant to settle back down where it's supposed to be before you plug it in. Not doing so can damage the compressor. Awesome job though, love watching your videos!
I'm a welder and we do alot of hole drilling. You should get a file and file off the rough edges and all the burrs and sharp edges instead of the whole liquid tape thing you could so that after it was filed but if it works then leave it Haha good to see you being a handy woman! Love the videos
A rat tail file .... You can put duct tape over metal edges too .. I use Split Loom by the Case...in various dianaters.. route wires through used heater hose .. heater hose ect .. old radatior hoeses some times..
I'd also screw the panel to the plywood so it is less likely to spin. Also when I drilled holes in some thick steel panels I used a steel punch and hammer to put a dimple in the panel. This made it easier to keep the pilot bit centered where I wanted it to be. Use a metal drill oil and drill at low RPM to keep from wearing down the hole saw bit too quickly.
"Remove all burrs and sharp edges" is a standard note on mechanical drawings. She is learning.
Yup, I was coming down to the comments to tell her to buy a file, and a couple clamps to hold that piece of metal to the board when she's drilling it.
a tip: watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
Small wire cutters are great for cutting zip ties. Also, you may want to have a small hand file or a some kind of grind bit that would fit on the drills to file or grind off any access metal shavings off the panels. Keeps from getting fingers or wires cut.
Magic Chef used to be made by Whirlpool, I have a microwave from late 1990s that was from family and it works great when we use it about once every 6 months.
Good to see someone that actually works on things themselves. 41 years old here, doin it for 20 years. Not for nothing but if you want a more permanent solution to that cut, just get a piece of rubber fuel hose or vacuum hose and slice it long ways and form it to the cut.
Hope your drivers appreciate the hard work you put in for them, great commitment on your part
Just shows how much you'll care for your drivers getting them the best you can I hope all your drivers take care of all the nice stuff you're giving them to make life easier on the road
You definitely go above and beyond for your drivers. Thank You.
I hope your employees respect the equipment!!
@@WhiteLineFever1999 I've got a few miles under my belt but not with Shelby's company.
@@WhiteLineFever1999 well good luck sir. Stay hydrated thru the summer and use sunscreen!!!
So awesome that you’re putting that big fridge with a real freezer in there! Not jealous at all...
Anytime you lay a fridge on its side you have to let it set upright for at least 30 mins before you plug it in ! Lol
I was thinking the same thing 👍
Much longer than 30 mins... much much longer.
way to go girl!!! no one gives it to you, you have to take it!!!
I nominate Dakota as the Quality Assurance Inspector. I don't know many Women who would be comfortable taking on these task, and even fewer who would be successful. Great Job 👍
I'd like to suggest you flip the doors to open from the other side for the fridge. It's easier to do this before you put it in the truck. Its so much easier to be sitting on the bed to see the contents of the fridge.
Thank you for all you do!
You do the work… Impressive commitment to making life better for others. Much wow!
You my dear, are a BUNDLE of energy! I always say, “if Shelby can do it, I can do it!”
Good one👍
Very nice Shelby! Hopefully you find drivers who really appreciate the blood, sweat, tears, and love you are putting into these trucks, take care, stay safe. See you soon hopefully, 😎
Very proud of your independence, you are quite the young lady. FYI search for a grommet that diameter and cut it in half, they are available for what you are doing.
Best of Wishes!
Great job as usual , when installing inverter put a circuit breaker instead of fuse , circuit breaker you just push the button to reset if you overload . Use rubber air lines to connect to trailer to have longer life
You need to build up the rest of your fleet and keep naming them after reindeer. Get ya a round file for those sharp edges
Fun fact…Santa’s reindeer are all girls…who knew?
Everyday more and more that I watch your videos, you make me want to be a truck driver... But then I remember it is not easy and I have driving anxiety and road rage :)
Lol, I hear ya on the road rage.
Donner und Blitzen is German that means "Thunder and Lightning."
HI SHELBY!!! Yeah I use a file after drilling into aluminum or metal to take off the sharp edges. I'm sure someone already message you. You are amazing with all your skills. I've self taught myself on about everything here. I love the purple lights on your introduction. That would be so cool to see on your truck. Have fun and be safe !! Thanks for sharing and I enjoy your videos !!! 👍 to BKM for awsome camera work !!
FYI a half round file to remove the burrs from the hole saw cut will make your life so much easier. Then a little piece of edge trim to cover the edge.
Good way to represent Upstate NY. Love hearing people from not around here trying to pronounce some of our cities. Even better hearing our news struggling
Yes a star.
Just a little FYI...
I installed the same fridge/freezer in my truck and it works great.
Two things to keep in mind.Walmart sells the same one for a lot cheaper then Lowes and Home Depot. Also not sure if you transported fridges before but they should stay in the upright position but if you must lay them on their side you should allow it to stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in and running the compressor.
With that being said your doing a great job and I hope you get quality drivers that will appreciate all that your doing for them. Good Luck and Be Safe.
Hey, I am planning to buy a new truck and want ti install the same fridge but dont know what to ask for from the dealership. Is it just a platform and an electric plug or there is more to it?
Shopping with Shelby! That was fun. You enjoy life so much, and that makes it a pleasure to watch you.
Did some research.
Magic Chef was started in 1929.
Home Depot was started in 1978.
As far as HD owning MC, couldn't find anything with that regard.
Now then. You went to town on sprucin up that rig. Pls let us know how the 900w Microwave worked out. I went from a 700w to an 1100w and it was like living in the 21st century, as opposed to campfire cooking.
Tks for sharing your most Outsquisite Vids.
Stay SAFE and Protected.
Remember, the 2A Protects and Guarantees the Rest!
Shelby you are truly amazing lady..love watching you work and teach on working on your trucks.. your awesome girl!!.. can't wait to see more videos of you teaching us more.. until next one..😘❤️
By far one of the best trucking videos on UA-cam. I saved it so I can watch it several more times. Stay safe out there everyone.
The more I watch your videos, the more impressed I am by how unselfish you are!!!! And the dude behind the camera does amazing work....now where's heckin Dakota????🐕🐶
Look into getting them the galanz microwave air fryer. It's a 7 in 1 microwave it has a air fryer as well it fits perfectly in the microwave cabinet. On the box it says it's 900 watt but it's way more than that I don't know what size inverter is you're putting in your trucks but in my truck I had a 1800 watt inverter but I also had an APU so I had to make sure that it was on when I was using it otherwise it would drain the inverter. Severe trucks don't have AP use I would suggest idling the truck while using it. But it's a great thing to have ! You can get them at Walmart and they're like $150 I believe. Galanz microwave air fryer. You can also fit up to a 4.5 cubic refrigerator in the truck.
Burring tool is a life saver for smooth edges. Definitely look into investing in this tool. Machinist use unique tools. Burring tool is one of them.
She's amazing!
She's a tough little cookie.
Try using part of a gladhand seal to protect the wires. It should be about the right size or check with a hardware or auto parts store
Two videos in two days heck yah, glad to see some happiness on the time line. Rock on Shelby and Dakota looking forward to some more awesome videos
You're always an inspiration with you can do attitude. I am from Rochester, NY and watching the weather man pronounce Schenectady was too funny 🤣
lets go do stuff.. lol. You've got drive girl! Go And Get It!
i like how the sleeper berth time during the 34 is used for this video. lol
That is sad that someone stole your antenna. They obviously don’t know who you are! Stay warm! And good luck with Donner! Happy trucking!
Wow Shelby,.
You are going to have the Most Nicest Rigs on the Road. Your really Awesome and very smart, Really you are. Your are a hard worker and it shows. And it will pay off 10 fold. Congrats your gonna make it Girl. ! 🙏👍👍🇺🇸
Might use a milk crate to house fluids to keep from rolling around
I watched your videos like a year ago and found you again!!! And I’m sooo excited that I did🥰🥰😁
Thank you for representing trucking. You are doing an excellent job! I’m learning a lot of valuable information. Keep up the good work! 🤘👍
Side cutters, need them in your bag...always find a need for them. Good video. Thinking on getting a truck, being retired is boring as hell.
I love that you care about the function and comfort of your drivers. :) People usually put comfort of employees last, it shows you care...the outtakes. lmao
Looking forward great 👍 drivers trucks great 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Had a great time going shopping with you! Great video! 👍 Everyday I say to myself ....I wonder if Shelby posted a video today? And when I see you have I get a smile on my face! Keep up the good work Shelby!🇺🇸
"Sometimes you gotta be rough with it to get em to go in"
This video was full of innuendo!
Interesting video. Stay safe my friend. God bless you 🙏.
Free tip. Instead of using a drill bit, once the pilot hole is done, use a 1/4 inch bolt(no head on bolt). Stops te hole saw wondering around.
Hey Shelby, your videos are informative and you’re doing a great job. I would love a video on how you decide between truck brands and I think it would really help someone like me going to buy their first one
The bug remover washer fluid is definitely a May-September fill. I had that stuff freeze up in late fall and it was a real bear to get out of the tank.
Use a diagonal cutters to cut tywraps. Cut towards your pal not your gal. Apparently Donnor likes it rough and I did not need to know that. You should look at the 12 volt refrigerators it will use a lot less battery power and runs on 12 volt only, they work great.
Instead of using liquid tape. Go to Fastenal and get some grommets. That are the size of your hole saw bit.You could even use glad hand seals. Cut them in half, and a couple dabs of super glue.... you're good to go in 45 seconds.
OMG I was just about to show my friend what I wanna buy and here we are!
Not reading all your comments,but if you take a glad hand rubber cut it in half. That may be a better protection for wiring through or around metal...just a thought works for me...
Hey Shelby, I remember you purchased some Cascadias recently (including this one) and I was curious what year those were. I'm not sure if you're aware, but there is a pretty serious recall on Cascadias (2019-2021) that were made in Mexico. There's an issue where the steering becomes loose and there have already been a number of high-speed accidents due to loss of control at high speeds.
If you haven't heard about it yet, I suggest you look into it if your trucks fall into that category. Wouldn't want someone to get hurt.
Each video I see the life being sucked from your soul by this affliction called the open road
Lol you need cutting pliers it makes cutting cable ties so easy and you can use split wire looming or a piece of split 1/4 rubber hose glue around the sharp edge in that plate as liquid tape will not protect those ELD wires enough from getting cut on the sharp edges. Can’t wait to see the lights. Yep there nothing worse than over ripe bananas so I would have got another one smoothie to.
Wow! Absolutely awesome of you to do all of it yourself, Shelby! Not a lot of people do that anymore. Awesome use of the drill too! 😁 Wish I could join your team.
I guess that Walmart mile long link got flagged but you need to check out the Galanz 0.9 Cu Ft Air Fry Microwave, 900 Watts. I have it in my 2021 Cascadia and it fits and looks good too. I cook all my meals on the road in it. Bakes/Broils/microwaves/Air frys/ convection cooks, works awesome and comes with all the air fry baskets and baking trays plus utensils! I do everything from microwaving a bowl of soup to roasting fresh veggies and cooking pork tenderloin in it no problem. It really is the best purchase I’ve made other than a good mattress.
I just want you to know that I would have loved to run for you and your company, I have my class A with all endorsements. But, life some how takes us different directions than you plan, I currently drive a mobile intensive care unit for a local hospital and being a former firefighter and still a emergency medical technician that’s where I will be when I retire. God Bless you for doing great things for people are treated like dirt most of the time and they don’t deserve it.
Great job Shelby. One quick tip, You should never ever ever ever try to cut zip ties / tie wraps with a razor or knife. You WILL get hurt. Seriously. I have scars. In a bind try scissors, or you can grab the tie wrap where both sides meet and twist it with pliers etc . It will pop right off. Diagonal wire cutters are the correct tool for the job though. Be safe!
I am watching this while is 90° in Florida
Should've grabbed the Galanz 3 in 1 microwave, air fryer, and oven from Walmart
Take couple screws and attach the plate to your plywood then notch it,will hold it down better.
Or a Cclamp or two.
Another awesome video keep up the great work Shelby thank you for everything you do as delivery truck driver I appreciate you💪🏾💯😎
I see your getting it done and having a little fun, thank you once again for step by step assurance. Remember Shelby, always with you. 05/03/2021 Mon 12:19 pm. Est. . Blessed 1
Thank you for another great video Shelby, BKM and Dakota!!! ❤👍🏻
Thanks
Awesome video. So cool. The hole in the plate. A piece of black hose like wiper hose, split longways will slip right over it for protection. Kind of like those black door edge protectors for car doors. Hey to BKM and Dakota. Fridge wrangling video. LOL.
I love your videos!!!! Your fleet is AMAZING!
Of course, I enjoy watching your videos
When you move the fridge around, the freon in the new fridge needs to settle down. Small fridge about 30 min. Before you connect to electricity. Because the compressor behind the fridge can make a lot of noise. Great videos Shelby.
We were always told 24 hours before you plug it in but she didn't have it on its side for very long so it might not take as much time.
Buying and installing things r always fun 👍👍😁
Waooooo! Putting in a lot of stuff
You are truly amazing Shelby!!!!🎉 and just subscribed, I love trucks
Shelby love your enthusiasm on working on your rig - do yourself a favor and lose the power driver - I drive a Coronado and EVERY TIME a "technician" has attacked the insides with a power driver they destroy the fastening points. Freightliners archilles heal is they're NOT designed to be taken apart.
You're amazing ..I love your drive ...energy ..smarts and beauty !!! Keep on truckin Shelly
Just my 2¢. I anyways drill a pilot hole with an 1/8 drill bit first. The bit in the hole saw can creep otherwise. Also look into getting a bottle of tap magic. It keeps the drill bit from heating up too much. I always cut clean holes in metal doing it this way. Slow and steady. Anyway, great job!
You’re amazing Shelby but do yourself a favor and get a pair of side diagonal wire cutters. There will be less chance of cutting yourself or the cable when cutting zip ties. Also, in case you didn’t know, it’s best not to lay a refrigerator on its side if you can avoid it. If you do, I believe you are supposed to wait at least 30 minutes before turning it on if it was on its side for more than 30 minutes. If it was on its side for more than a day, it is recommended to wait 24 hours before turning it on. Thanks for another informative and enjoyable video.
I love the lights on the F150. The look really useful in this situations
Lowes/Home Depot sells black hose you could slice down the length then slide it over the metal too stop it from cutting your wires like a rubber grommet. Could also buy rubber grommets and slice the section out you don't need.
Shelby, just an FYI, you shouldn’t lay a refrigerator on its side. I noticed you laid it over on the cart at Lowe’s, and to cut the strapping. Oil can flow from the compressor into the coolant lines, and I bet that would not be covered in the warranty.
They were laying down at the store.
For the panel, use a 1" rubber grommet and cut it in half.
I thought a peaceful Sunday morning wasupon us! The trips thru the stores and unboxing of the items has worn me out! Thanks for taking us along!
Use a 1" rubber grommet cut in half for that half circle and use adhesive in the groove to keep it in place.....
nice when you say ... OH BOY !
Shelby, your talents seem to know no bounds..
I was in your neighborhood again, for the 3rd week in a row. Delivered a meat load from Greeley Colorado, to the Albertsons DC in Portland I-84 exit 13.
Was able to go about 1 mile south, and get a Starbucks in my truck after. Parked behind US Bank. Not many places to park a truck for coffee.
Back at the yard in Denver now. Probably won’t get back that way for a while now. Happy Trails 😉
Awesome job on do it yourself when doing things to the trucks!!👍🏼
