Give this guy a ton of credit what a patient man. If I where driving a 4 door sedan through there I would have said maybe 70 expletives let alone driving a rig in those tight squeezes way to be wish you luck on every adventure
Please keep the videos coming! I enjoy seeing your adventures! Your comments are pretty thoughtfull as well. Your truck is way awesome&I appriciate your efforts to keep her clean&shiney!
Justin Bush getting excited just raises your blood pressure and no one will ever notice or care anyway, for the few seconds they are in my life isn't worth messing up my day.
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. You have a great attitude and a mountain of patience. Need more like you on the road. City driving can be a chore and you make it look like a cool breeze! I used to deliver downtown L.A. a couple times a week back in the early 90's, but I'd deliver and pickup before 6am, so traffic wasn't normally an issue. The streets would crawl of homeless people, scammers, drug dealers etc. 5th Street and Alameda around the produce market, I kinda miss it though! Keep on Truckin my man, nice work!
Same here, there is no place more confused, and random than DC they just invent stuff while driving. I'm 12 miles out, takes me ten minutes to get there, 45 mins to travel a couple of miles in it!!
very good video. i worked down around there, back in the late 80's, when the coal fields dried up-in Pa. where i lived. worked for a excavating outfit-right off of beltsville. anyways-when we had a rain day-a couple of us work go out to rt 50-and park-and ride the subway into town back then. didn't cost much to ride in and back. was at lots and lots of the sites on them rain days. memories i will keep my entire life. thanks for showing me that area again. been subbed since i found u several months ago. thanks again.
Last time I was in DC. Got three parking tickets. One for leaving a truck running while unattended. Reefer unit was running. Next one was parking in a unloading zone. Third was for having a truck in Down Town DC at 7am. One Reefer unit running Two I was unloading but was inside the school with 2 wheeler full of candy. Three How else do you get a delivery down there?? Was driving for Henco Professional Fund Raisers. Delivering candy and stuff to schools. I think those three tickets were over $500. That was in 1986 and never went down town again. Also never did pay those tickets. Being it was a Gelcoat rental truck and trailer. Our company name was not on there. I think the school was on North Capital ST. Keep up the great job. Man that is one sweet ride. I have a 1997 W900L bought. But will not be pulling loads with it. Going to turn it into a toy hauler.
You’ve inspired me to go back over the road. Has its challenges but I’ve realized that I miss it. Never thought I would, but I do. Thanks for the videos.
Mr. Pink I would rather have a short Columbia or cascadia than my 389....for where I have to go....no fun backing and jackknifing retarded alleys in NYC/NJ.
I pay attention to the crosswalk signs too. I love when I time it just right and others pass me like they are going somewhere to only to sit at the light. It turns green when i get close to the intersection and pass them! lol
Have been following you for awhile. Made me a little home sick seeing all of the Washington DC area and the convention center. In 1968-1969 I was stationed with the Navy in DC. I got hooked up with a display company and spent some nights and week ends sitting up displays for companies in different hotels and convention center for conventions that were being held. Loaded and off loaded a lot of those Hugh crates that you showed in the trailer.was a lot of fun and good way to make a little extra money.
I drive DC everyday must say very nice on handling the big city brother i had to smile when i heard you talked about the crosswalk sign not alot of people know that trick.
I love hearing out-of-towner's prospective of DC... Been here my entire life and can't wait for something different. I LOVE NYC much better. But hey it is what it is. I'm thinking of driving starting next year; wanna see the country
this is my first time seeing your videos love your xplanation of every detail of the truck keep on trucking my friend besafe I've never rode in a semi since my stroke
I used to drive around the states with my grandpa and I miss it greatly I’m 21 right now working on getting my cdl to be a future trucker and maybe an owner operator.
Thank you for this particularly interesting video. I have been through the D.C. area several times but never got off of the Interstate highways because of all of the bad things I have heard about the city. Your video has convinced me it is indeed a city worth visiting.
Is the dash G.P.S. Garmin (That's what I was told) based mapping? The one up top is a Rand McNally unit, right? I like the idea of having the ability to compare.
Near the start when you turned left, the light was green but there was a car heading toward you in the left lane? I'm from New Zealand and when the light is green to turn left or right w/e you never get cars crossing your path, is it more "it's green but give way?" in America I'm confused lol
About the crosswalks. Here in Ontario Canada, when the countdown begins the pedestrians are to stop crossing and allow the traffic to continue so to not get bottle neck. The pedestrians can get a ticket if they are caught crossing during the countdown. Usually they just a warning most times though. I think it's a great idea for the traffic to have time allotted for them to get through without interruptions and it gives you the time to make it through.
I drive a red 2016 just like yours....I can't be backing in tight areas with my 5th slid all the way back though....especially now that I'm in NJ so much....idk how you back in that tight area, your truck has a 2 foot longer wheelbase than my 389. I'm still adjusting to that long nose 🤥
Aaron Albert I have all of that, 98% of the 7,400 subscribers want it where it's at, they enjoy this view the best, I sometimes try and keep my movements to a minimum
if you don't mind me asking, how much was your truck? I've been in the industry for 2 years now and been wanting to own my own truck, definitely not wanting to lease..
this is so cool! I had no idea the convention center had such an elaborate garage/loading dock type thing. makes sense though, how else would you get all that stuff in and out.
Great driving, Great Rig! It's nice to know three are people in this city doing real work, driving here is no joke even in a car. Next time could you maybe pan the camera down so we can see you shifting?
Man You have My respect driving in that town. f in awesome!. Looks like that would have been a hard backup with all that crap against the wall.Yes that's a pretty dock looks like all Owner ops in there, usully see a lot of old rusty big carrier trailers in those places.Yes Ill gladly take a week of detention time there!
DC is a strange place, the roads turn you back into it. If you don't have a straight exit, you're lost forever!!! Those round abouts or traffic circles can really jam you.
Nice maneuvering skills. What advice would you give to someone looking to get a 389? Looking to get out of a Volvo 670. Never driven a long nose before
Freddy Grimsley I traded my 2010 Volvo 780 in on this, best decision of my life, I will never go used again, my advice is go for it, you want regret it.
Give this guy a ton of credit what a patient man. If I where driving a 4 door sedan through there I would have said maybe 70 expletives let alone driving a rig in those tight squeezes way to be wish you luck on every adventure
Love that accent "Worshingtin Day Cee" 😆 Keep trucking brother 👌🏾💯
lb lewis thank you
lb lewis brings back memories off my grandmother lol
You're like the Bob Ross of trucking and I love it. Keep making videos I love your attitude wish more drivers were like you!!! Much love and be safe
Please keep the videos coming! I enjoy seeing your adventures! Your comments are pretty thoughtfull as well. Your truck is way awesome&I appriciate your efforts to keep her clean&shiney!
driver, I gotta hand it to you. that's some of the most patient and courteous driving I've seen in a long time. keep up the good work, and be safe.
Justin Bush getting excited just raises your blood pressure and no one will ever notice or care anyway, for the few seconds they are in my life isn't worth messing up my day.
Life is Good, you sir, are the man.
needs to be more people like you in the world
Because trucks are not allowed inside the beltway unless delivery or permits and not very many places receive truckload freight inside the beltway

I work in DC everyday and you are the absolute first person I've ever heard with anything good to say about the place. Vacation there? Lmfao.
Same here, there is no place more confused, and random than DC they just invent stuff while driving. I'm 12 miles out, takes me ten minutes to get there, 45 mins to travel a couple of miles in it!!
Vacation.....hell no!
Wow life is good!!! what different is your video from others . I have the sensation of driving your truck.Congratulations and excellent video!!
Came for the truck, stayed for the commentary :)
Nice truck. Nice video. I joined the service in Celina TN back in 80. Never went back. Probably a completely different town now.
That underground place looks like an absolute nightmare to deal with
Chris Hanley it's really not bad at all.
very good video. i worked down around there, back in the late 80's, when the coal fields dried up-in Pa. where i lived. worked for a excavating outfit-right off of beltsville. anyways-when we had a rain day-a couple of us work go out to rt 50-and park-and ride the subway into town back then. didn't cost much to ride in and back. was at lots and lots of the sites on them rain days. memories i will keep my entire life. thanks for showing me that area again. been subbed since i found u several months ago. thanks again.

Another great video, been enjoying them. I love the look across that hood and that beautiful dash too
You’ve inspired me to go back over the road. Has its challenges but I’ve realized that I miss it. Never thought I would, but I do. Thanks for the videos.
My dream is to own an ext. hood Pete, even if I find a 379!!!! The 379/389 my dream truck!!! Like you said THE CADILLAC of trucks
Mr. Pink I would rather have a short Columbia or cascadia than my 389....for where I have to go....no fun backing and jackknifing retarded alleys in NYC/NJ.
I pay attention to the crosswalk signs too. I love when I time it just right and others pass me like they are going somewhere to only to sit at the light. It turns green when i get close to the intersection and pass them! lol

Every time I watch these videos I miss driving more and more.
I drive DC everyday must say very nice on handling the big city brother i had to smile when i heard you talked about the crosswalk sign not alot of people know that trick.
That´s pretty nice piece of art your truck.
You have a badass rig sir
I love hearing out-of-towner's prospective of DC... Been here my entire life and can't wait for something different. I LOVE NYC much better. But hey it is what it is. I'm thinking of driving starting next year; wanna see the country

Conch Republic it really is a nice place to spend at least a week on vacation, lots to see and do
That loadin dock... Wow!
Never seen one like that b4....tight sqquueeezze.
Mandy L. Fun backing in when the curb is full of equipment and pallets, no where for the long hood to maneuver.
Is the dash G.P.S. Garmin (That's what I was told) based mapping? The one up top is a Rand McNally unit, right? I like the idea of having the ability to compare.
Sam O in dash is powered by Co-pilot I believe and the one on the windshield is a Garmin 560t I think, it's old and in need of an update
Near the start when you turned left, the light was green but there was a car heading toward you in the left lane? I'm from New Zealand and when the light is green to turn left or right w/e you never get cars crossing your path, is it more "it's green but give way?" in America I'm confused lol
hey I've been there before! lol they couldn't believe I could get a old long truck like this in there
I deleverd a load of carpet to.there , that's is a hell of a ride you coming back out ,
Nice 379 for sure. But give me my ol 97 W900...
She's comfy....

Great video tour of Washington D.C. You have great skill as a driver

Beautiful rig. I love the 379 and 389!!
Good video, driving through the city in that Tractor, hard enough driving through downtown in morning rush hour in a car.
Love that Pete, keep on trucking!
Greetings from down under on the very bottom of mainland Australia. Great vid.

I'm new here. Nice video. How much did you pay for your Pete? Or is it from a company that you work for?..
Zane Hope FZ6 Hundred it’s mine and these run in the 160s
I'll remember that. If I ever get the chance to visit the US I will go to Washington D.C
this needs to be in American Truck Simulator😂
Great truck!! But, you are in DC...probably alien bodies, and a disassembled secret space craft!
New subscriber... man you have yourself a beautiful truck....
that's a hella nice rig you have, enjoyed the ride along.
I live in Md and every time we try to go south for vacation there is always so much traffic around DC
I went to dc after this video was published it was great Tim loved. It was pretty and cool all the history blows your mind
That's A Beautiful Peterbuilt
I got this in my recommend videos and I really thought this was American Truck Simulator😂
Might I recommend the chest mount for the gopro or the dash mount? About triggered my vertigo watching this with all the head movement.

Great driving, Great Rig!
It's nice to know three are people in this city doing real work, driving here is no joke even in a car.
