I commend u for sticking up for Lita. If they would have required her to stay outside of gate I would of turned down load. Them people are crazy just having those kind of rules. Great job Robert!!
Yeah, those assisted living homes are no joke! They can cost anywhere from $4 to $10 thousand a month to live in! My grandmother was in one that cost up on the higher end for almost 8 years, thank God that she had the funds to live there! Miss seeing and talking to her every day! She also loved living in the one that she was at, she would always say "that it was like being on vacation every day!"
The KW employees might have been told not to discuss known problems and might try to deflect the conversation to avoid admitting a possible recall violation or required disclosure.
As a dog person I love seeing your dogs. I am not a truck person but have become hooked on watching you. I look at all the trucks I go by now to see if it is you. I am in Minneapolis area. You sure have a lot of truck problems. So sorry about that. Take care to you both.
Couple of observations.. you might have "fixed" it by cleaning up your grounds. Low or noisy voltage on those comm links can mess them up. A bad or flaky ground can do weird things. If that broker was bidding the job, which board was he bidding on? Maybe you could go there and just bypass the brokers?
How about servicing the transmission, new fluid and filters and examining the old fluid to see if there is any metallic debris and what metals are present, burnt smell etc. Similar to what you would do in the automotive world.
Love the show and how you interact with each just like and old married couple. Keep the dogs thay are [art of your life. One wish i have is maybe just just Maybe one day Robert you will paint that dam Trailer a different colour as it always make me feel it is going to fall apart.
That steel company is the biggest pita in the world. They sit there and watch how you secure the load and they will not let you off property if not done correctly!! Will not let you off property if not tarped as well. I hated picking up there when I drove truck.
In my opinion the doggies are part of the family so I enjoy seeing them I think it is screwed up when places think they can tell you what you can and can't have in your truck. They can't control what you have in your truck. I agree that having down time you guys are losing money. I would rather have down time then waste time on a low ball load that isn't worth the time or hassle. Stay safe out there
On your shifter stalk problems, there is a couple up in Wisconsin that have a UA-cam channel called TruckingTogether and they have two Peterbilts with ISX s in them with autos and were discussing a place out in Texas(Near Dallas, I think) that rebuilds or reconditions those stalks at a reasonable price and they are very knowledgable on the problem. You might want to get in touch with them and get their input. His name is Martin and hers is Alice. Hope this helps, Bill t
You need to look up the code setting criteria and see if you can get freeze frames of when the code actually sets. If the lights not on you could still have a pending code.
I understand and appreciate your stress over the truck / shift issues I could not note your comments about the FB page about the t80 kw but when you were shopping around for a newer truck is that not part of your research on the truck not being sarcastic and I understand you can't know every gremlin issues and have to manage as the issue comes up Thanks
You should get a hold of Martin from trucking together and ask him what his issue was with his when he changed his shifter switch. It is in one of their videos from a year ago when they were in California. I’m sure Martin would help you, he is a great dude. Alice is awesome too. Good luck. I’m sure it’s something in the switch or harness😂😂😂.
Cheapest thing to try is clean the battery cables and connections. These trucks require so much power with all the electronics. From the automatic transmission class I took at kenworth the instructor said that’s step #1. Worth a shot your not out anything
got one at work,163k and is used once a week and every month something goes wrong....its a 17. with a paccar piece of s#%t 13 motor. And its governed at 65mph.
I get EVER job i call on when its a English speaking person...sooooooo many brokers just say "Yep"...and drops are sick of translations through text and getting fed up telling brokers to use English ONLY speaking drivers...U..S..A...lets go
You should buy a Rand McNally GPS it goes by the ZIP code I used to drive Kenworth t680 I think there's a sensor on the transmission you should check it out
Check the wiring harness that runs over the top of your transmission I had the same problem and it was a bare wire on the transmission harness that runs over the top of the transmission
Video went to the dogs lol, hope you know Im kidding my wife an I got 5 dogs lol. Any way great video and your comment about we're truckers we do what we want Amen. You know your job and too many try to tell you what to do and how to do it . Thats your truck and who rides in it should have nothing nada zip to do with them. Stuck to your guns BIG RESPECT, yall have a great one.
That coil was 2 different widths, it didn’t slide over. All coils are welded together so they can run them continuously through the mill. Then they are separated into different sizes that the order specifies by the purchaser. This leaves some coils that have different widths in them and at least one weld.
@@willydavid I worked at I/N Tek for 19 years. They take hot band coils and run them through the cold mill. They make some of the best automotive steel sheet in America. But a certain amount is scrap or secondary due to defects and is sold as such.
You are. Not gonna believe some of the loads here in Las Vegas for a flat bed and step deck. I saw one going from California to New Mexico for $300 with 2 stops that is ridiculous.
It’s all over the place with brokers only giving half, partial,or no info……..just went thru this Saturday to pick up a load of corn in Florida, that came out of Georgia….
Hello Lita and Robert. These folks you call for loads found a way to be a broker. Why can't Lita be your broker? Those extendable paint poles, at least for mine, is 74.5 inches long. Its length is 6' - 12'. I think you forgot to put the sticker on the trailer tag, they will not fall off. The next time you put a sticker on, press it like you would a postage stamp and then try pulling it off. I bet you can't. Have good days!
Robert I was running a dd15 I got all kinds of random bullshit codes every now and then I was fortunate that my daughters softball coach was a master technician. Cummins Id call him and hed tell me don't spend the money $$$ send it 99% of the time!! the code would disappear!! Don't do shit till your on the side of the road Please Save for It !!!!!!!!! You would still be ahead !
You can’t read your faults with the key . A lot of companies have disabled that feature because they don’t want the drivers playing mechanic. You should have the computer reset to factory.
Yay more Dogs. You guys are a hoot, you could do 20 mins of Lita cooking her magic, we'd watch.
If a person doesn't like dogs, you really don't want to know that person. Another great video, thanks.
Trump doesn’t like dogs
I commend u for sticking up for Lita. If they would have required her to stay outside of gate I would of turned down load. Them people are crazy just having those kind of rules. Great job Robert!!
Excellent work Robert.
Remember, thanks for putting up with me on the next vid.
Cheers and ONYA Mate.
Lita is such a trooper, you are so lucky

When you’re in Tennessee go by SH tube ;rob is a wiring wizard.
Good for you Lita. It’s about time you got some time off. Sorry Robert you have to work now. 😂😅😳😆😃
😂😂
love seeing the dogs
The dogs are fine, I enjoy them.

Yup, looking to subscribe to that new FatButt and Mackey most excellent dog adventure trucking channel.

Not letting Lita in is unamerican!
We’ll boycott them!

When I worked for ups the trucks would say that if you shifted fast before you stopped or didn’t completely stop with brakes

What are those underground enclosures used for?
Here in Australia we had issues with our 908 kenworth like that and we changed the transmission harness and that fixed the issue.
I think Fat Butts entered the dog park into the Garmin when you weren’t looking…
And Macky set it too avoid I-75
Dog are Allways welcome here lol not much on people

That’s what there told to say ! Oh this is the first time we herd of this ! Alllll stealerships service department says that !
Brokers aren’t needed in this industry. Give em the boot.
LOL, 'cause everyone is so good at getting their own loads huh?
Just tell them your a TEAM Truck.
They wanted a copy of both drivers license
@@SouthGeorgiahotshotlets go Lita...cdl Girl...
You can't tell her what to do@@dustinhuffman574
Show them the footage of Lita driving the Mac Daycab in the intro!
@RaoulThomas007 she forgot to latch the hood down.😂

Lita is always yawning, leave that woman alone at night so she can get some sleep bro. 😂
Hey Bob … if you are having an issue on rough roads i would think you have a loose connector or broken wire in the harness ..
Be safe out there
How many crying towels do you go through per video?

Look at those mountains 😂😂😂😂😂
@@willydavid haven’t heard Robert say look at those mountains in a while…..
Robert, update your GPS, Even knowing it is brand new they need updating. That was from tech support at Garmin.
The price of these trucks, they shouldn’t have any stupid issues. Recall em, fix it once in for all
Ha Ha that's funny . You must not be a trucker
got one at work,163k and is used once a week and every month something goes wrong....its a 17. with a paccar piece of s#%t 13 motor. And its governed at 65mph.
Recalls are usually forced by the government to repair safety items not a bumper to bumper warranty.
@@jjjustin17favs if everything was ultra reliable, many companies would be out of business, and china would be still struggling....
I like to know how they get their CDLs
What phone case do you use
Decentralization gets rid of Brokers! Let’s go!😊
Yupper'Z more dogs and great coil job Robert by yourself
I would have had Lita help chain and tarp once you were loaded. What are they going to do?
I get EVER job i call on when its a English speaking person...sooooooo many brokers just say "Yep"...and drops are sick of translations through text and getting fed up telling brokers to use English ONLY speaking drivers...U..S..A...lets go
Fact
Create a channel featuring your dogs. I'll subscribe!
You should buy a Rand McNally GPS it goes by the ZIP code I used to drive Kenworth t680 I think there's a sensor on the transmission you should check it out
My mechanic said after market transaction filter can cause the light
Your dogs are the star of your videos...I love seeing your Fur Babies
Check the wiring harness that runs over the top of your transmission I had the same problem and it was a bare wire on the transmission harness that runs over the top of the transmission
You ain't lying. American drivers are the minority
We should go over to their country's lets do it !!!
I would not take the odometer reading off the truck as accurate. Take miles between fill-ups and divide by gallons for accurate reading.
Video went to the dogs lol, hope you know Im kidding my wife an I got 5 dogs lol. Any way great video and your comment about we're truckers we do what we want Amen.

Knoxville Petro use to be the spot. Had Bue Beacon in back did great job, great restaurant its just went down hill.
In my state we don't get registration stickers anymore just the paperwork
Lita probably doing her nails & hair while you sheet load 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thats a first for you😂😂😂
75 south out of Kentucky is a freakin dirt rode !!!!!
Robert complaining about his pole issues. Lita just standing there smiling 😂😂 Dude if Lita ain't complaining you don't got a issue 😂😂
Crazy that they wouldn't want to assume the liability. Almost as if that's how you become a multi million dollar company.
Second first from Indiana watching Kong skull island 🫣

If you a panther park and that parking lot must be the cleanest parking lot and no potholes in the lot.
Robert, I say show us the DOGS!!
Check all the trans wiring and plugs might have a green pin or a wire rubbing something it shouldn't
Maybe you cleaning the. Connections helped
Oh that second pickup is a pita. They require so many chains and they’re eagle eye bastages there.!!
Middletown Ohio. I load there all the time.
Looks like whiskey barrel strapping

I looked at it again and it may be what is called a bad wind. This happens when the coil doesn’t track properly.

It's your shifter knob I just had my done
Viewers are worthless...as one watches...you can hit the thumbs up...free...its free...but value to this team...come on
Since your clutch problem is sporadic, isn't that strong evidence that it is electrical based rather than mechanical?
Who let the dogs out. Nice to see the dogs so many haters on You Tube nowdays
