A GOOD AND HONEST ANSWER !!!! Q. IF A TRUCK DRIVER GETS INTO A MINOR ACCIDENT....!!!! HE IS DRIVING ALOT MORE WEIGHT THEN MOST CARS ???? THEY SHOULD CATER TO THE TRUCK DRIVERS BETTER!!????
Believe it or not this idea was toyed with for awhile, many municipalities don't like the idea cause when you think about the power draw that apparatus has the battery runs out after about six or seven hours. Most structural fires require at the minimum a five hour response and as the number of alarms rung goes up the time on scene expands per the fire itself. Then there is the issue of recharging the apparatus to extend its response time on scene, water and electricity don't mix and anyone whose ever seen a mild to moderate fire knows water gets EVERYWHERE. The consensus was this idea just wasn't a viable one and wasn't really cost affective either cause they cost a good chunk of change more than standard apparatus. From what I heard from the equipment/vehicle purchaser at the critical disaster/mutual aid response service I work for is the technology just isn't there yet to make these apparatus worth the investment, and I would have to agree. Our job is risky enough as it is, no one wants to worry about your rig being a liability as well.
@@jericho1-4 -- Well, it's actually a "Hybrid" as it has a small diesel. If there is any indication that the truck will stay in service for more than, say, an hour, they would start the diesel. Of course, everything is in the details. It's possible that the diesel is so small that if it's pumping a LOT of water, all the diesel will do is extend the run time. It might even be they the diesel isn't a part of the main drive train.
i never got a ticket but i have been woke up and few hundred time and told i had to get out. even telling them i was out of hours and tired. they said they didn't care to get out. and 99% of the time i was parked legally. i wish we had cams back then
I love the older trucks and I hate going into the city because most people in the city can't drive and make it harder for us drivers. love the video bud
"Revenue over safety" reminds me of the funny ad parody for SWIFT Transportation: "Attention drivers;are you tired of driving sub grade equipment?. Then come on down;to Swift Transportation. That's right;at Swift,we are looking for the best parking truck drivers out there. Now if you back into a spot;but only take up one space,then we don't want to talk to you. But if you can back up and take up 5,6,or 7 spots;at your local Petro,Flying J,or TA,then Swift has a shiny white Volvo with your name on it. So give Swift a call;at 1-800 See What I Fucked Up Today".
Great video Steve really enjoy all the camera angles and your commentary. Interesting haven't seen a full service fuel stop in year's. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
I see you entering at 15W heading up to Vince Lombardi Rest Area. The NJ state troopers refer to the rest area as 13S. The troopers can care less about the truckers sleeping on the shoulders of the service area ramps. It's the Turnpike Authority that will not allow it nor allow abandoned vehicles along the shoulders of the entire length of the Pike due to hazardous conditions they cause. Unfortunately, some drivers use the shoulders as open lanes, sleepy drivers drift, and tend to crash into them while on the shoulders.
Boy you sure know your way around Jersey. I remember my very first time in New Jersey, had a 20 foot container on the back and it was late at night and somehow ended up going down the 1-9. What a nightmare that was. I use to run containers into New Jersey 2 to 3 times a week out of Tabernacle Town, better know as Montreal. When I seen the signs for 1-9 in your video it brought some memories for sure. Great video FSC. Have a great and a safe day, happy trails.
The Asian Mai shoe did a video on how truck drivers are getting kicked out of there trucks, and having their trucks towed by police because they find places to park since all the trucks stops and rests areas are full, as well as not being allowed to park on the side of the road and off ramps
Good to see you have the right side exhaust stack connect again seeing the smoke come out nice view of new Jersey with all the different bridge's and streets 👍
Years ago I had to park at that rest stop but in front of the building next to 3 other trucks. When I woke up, there were cops busting the other drivers because they started on the other end instead of me first. I looked at the one of the cops and he looked at me. He gave to nod to leave, so I left in a hurry. All the other guys got tickets
I'm a first time subscriber. Finally an intelligent man on UA-cam. Diesel fuel does control the world. The farmers know it, the truckers know it, industry knows it, railways know it, airlines know it, but the current administration doesn't have a clue that the price of fuel is driving inflation off the map. Keep the great videos coming.
Hey, the lift draw bridge is pretty new, they been building that new road way for a good few years because of the old bridge was taking on age as well the traffic was bad and tight, so they made it bigger to handle the weight and heavy traffic that goes thru their. Like you said in couple of vids, you go thru 78 in and out. That way you taken was new so, new look and everything.
Florence warehouse and mecca trucking it's been a few minutes since I have been there. As far as Jersey goes Steve nothing will ever change you know that it's all about the $$$. All that's missing is the worldwide cb Rambo radio
I used to pull the throttle lock out a hair not enough to raise the throttle but not enough to stall the engine & could run all day with the Jake on. Don't know if that works on your rig? Love that truck by the way
Steve I was up in Ohio last week well I delivered in Wheeling Wv and picked up more stuff to be rebuilt and it was when all the high winds and rain was going on so I got soaked and only put a couple straps on the stuff but got back over on 70 pulled in rest area since it had stopped raining so was putting more straps on the stuff and this dot cop pulls in behind me well I'm up on the deck wrapping the straps around and he was on his radio guess he ran my tags or something so I got down started walking towards him he pulls out drives back to other end of lot and started same thing to another truck well I was taking my time and was back up on trailer here he comes again I walk to back of deck held my arms up and yelled what's up with you he pulls out gets back on 70 goes 100 yards stops and goes threw median almost causing a wreak and goes to the other side rest area and does the same thing except he woke that driver up got him out of truck walked him to back if his trailer and was pointing to the lines is all I could figure well guy was over like 2 inches he gave him a ticket for improper parking 2 inches over the line I got on CB and that's what driver said he done to him I didn't think they could wake you up when your on your brake but Ohio has always hated truck drivers since the 70s when I started hauling threw that state I hate it but they sure want there shit just don't stay drop it off and get the hell out of there state it took them forever to raise the speed limits but don't get caught driving over it unless you got deep pockets . well sorry for my long rant it is over but stay safe stay healthy and keep the video's coming
Before I got into trucking i worked at the Grover Cleveland plaza on the tpk & a drunk driver came flying down the ramp and ran right into the back of a truck sitting in the side.
vince lombardi gets CRAZYYY at night drivers literally park and block the whole parking lot they need some tickets i’ve been coming here for years n never had to block the parking lot just go on personal Conveyance n look for spot in other rest areas
Thanks for the memory reminders of driving in North Jersey. It looks like Christie actually spent money on the freeways, between time on the beach. Fuel prices look really ugly. How you can survive in a cabover with those prices . . . Thank You
Do you use a fuel additive when buying the less expensive fuel. Just curious. Great video! I loved all the different camera angles. Stay safe and stay blessed.
Hey fsc just had to say what the heck did we just go back in time to the 60's I've only seen full service fuel stations and drive up hamburger joints on TV man talk about old school service love it 100% oh and when cars and trucks made from real cold hard steel not this new plastic and aluminum junk.
I notice you use your phone as your mapping. I've seem other truckers using the larger tablet style Garmin Dezl OTR units that are made for OTR work and better mapping and such. Is there any reason you prefer your smaller phone to the Garmins besides cost?
I've eaten a dozen or so tickets in Cali for parking! Honestly it's a business expense in my opinion. Pay the ticket and write it off on taxes doesn't effect your license or CSA score
Besides infrastructure, like build it & walk away, they have it all figured out, like where to put you guys or where to have truck stops. Up in mass, we have one where congrats, you made it to beverly. On 128, you got like 5 or 10 miles till 128 is a dirt road or turn around. Very important in an area where trucks will have a quick turnaround & kick in the ass to leave. Can think of areas before that'd be handier🤷♂️
The problem is if your on the turnpike, you have local drivers the live in the area using the parking area as a private parking lot, they park their trucks and have someone pick them up leaving the truck there until they come back.
It's the new thing now set your brakes and that's all she wrote. Just think of it knowing you might end up getting a ticket is getting a room you never stayed in LOL that's how I look at it. I did that in Illinois on the toll road last month I pulled in to the service plaza The Oasis it was full I parked on the ramp with a bunch of other trucks woke up to $100 parking ticket. Nice thing is Illinois will let you sleep so just put the ticket right on your window lol
Question???? Why is it that you close your door from the center of the outer panel? Love Orwell he is a good looking truck and even better rolling coal out of both stacks pre-APU. 😅
I live in a town just west and north of East Rutherford so very familiar NJ 17, NJ 120/Paterson Plank Rd. where you got fuel. Weird to see my 'home area' on a video.
Funny you mention your 'home area,' lol. Where I'm located is near where the Michigan Southern Railroad is, in Clinton, Michigan. When Steve was here for the "Trucks, Trains, and More" event held here recently, I knew right where he was when he left Clinton, Michigan, and traveled through Tecumseh, Michigan. As a side note, Tecumseh Products used to be located in Tecumseh, and they used to make everything from compressors and motors to lawn mowers.
The issue is all the sub systems that will draw the battery down on the apparatus, the heavy equipment your talking about can carry a lot more battery cells than a standard fire fighting apparatus can, so its either sacrifice critical systems like external lighting pumping power or water tank size and equipment to accommodate more batteries or stick with what works for now till the tech advances a little more. Bare in mind fire apparatus are on average on scene of a fire for a minimum of five hours for a moderate structural fire, for a wildfire it can be weeks so recharging becomes an issue as well.
@@jericho1-4 They use a massive diesel engine too turn a turbine, and produce electricity for the high torque electric motors. Trains are often referred too, as diesel electric.
@@TMarkLenthall As a specialist in the critical disaster/mutual aid response services I still don't see this idea working. even with a small diesel engine as a redundant operations system. I had this argument with a proponent of the all EV mandate, they literally said if a city bus can do it so to can a fire engine. What they fail to realize is they are two different vehicles doing two entirely different tasks. EV's have their uses just not in first responder services or the vast majority of commercial Transport in my opinion until the tech goes aways farther to meet the needs of the industries.
That emblem on the trunk of that white car looked like a Lincoln emblem because Rolls-Royce has 2 R's overlapping each other & they would be gold color
I’m curious because of the paint scheme on the truck. Did Orwell start life at Leavitt’s Freight Service in Springfield, Or? Their trucks used to be painted that way and they were still using a similar paint scheme the last time I saw one.
Fyi- if you take 139 (Depressed Highway) and transition to 1&9 north before the Whitpenn Bridge you can take 1&9 North NJTP and then into the Vince....
I'm not a trucker. The politicians, police, and DOTs better get their acts together. The news is full of stories about the supply chain being strained or broken. Trains move a lot of freight, but so do trucks, and it's trucks that deliver it. The Fed bureaucrats made the rules about hours and e-logs without consideration of availabilty of parking. The police and DOTs to often rigorously enforce the rules and behave as if truckers are their sworn enemy. It's consumers who end up paying for all the tickets and fines, and prices are getting out of hand. Truckers are caught between rocks and hard places - drive in the hours given to them even if tired - or try and find a place to park and lose income - or stop in a convenient place when hours are up and get ticketed. Those trucks being ticketed in NJ were in nobody's way and that was pure chickenshit. Also got to wonder how much time truckers lose (and consumers pay for) looking for parking or being subjected to DOT inspections.
That strip club is called "Satin Dolls" on Route 17 south, Lodi, N.J. It's the same club in the HBO series Soprano's. They called it "Bada Bing" in the show. James Gandolfini (RIP) played Tony Soprano and actually grew up in Park Ridge, N.J. not far from the strip club. The town of Park Ridge, N.J. named a street after him.
I got a $10 parking ticket at a turnpike service area once for parking in a similar spot. Cop waited for me to walk back to the rest area to pee. Ticket was on the truck when I came back. Dick move if you ask me. But, I just considered it to be the cost of parking in that space. Paid it and moved on lol.
Reminds me of the days of the old Roman Empire. Soldiers marauding through the community harassing and taxing citizens just trying to make a living. Serving their masters unapologetically and with glee. This is how people that have never had a real job behave.
@@MGower4465 No I wasn’t there. But they have these things called “books” that record history. I can see where you’re probably lost on this, because todays academia doesn’t use them. They just “tell” you what to believe. So you don’t have to think for yourself, or make an attempt to find any data elsewhere. You should study the Roman Empire. Reading is fun.
Do you mean Port Jervis, NJ, actually a truck stop, a BP, Citgo station in Montigue, NJ just off I-84 (literaly on the border of NYS) ? Port Jervis is about 65 miles from Jersey City.
Don't know how you and all of your trucker brother and sister's do this from day to day wish law enforcement and truckers could figure out a way to get along but worry about all the other crap that is going on in our once great nation truckers are the back bone of this country
It used to say on the side of a police car “ To Serve and Protect” now it says “ To Cite and Collect”
A GOOD AND HONEST ANSWER !!!!

When did you watch the first blues brothers movie?

What a novel idea.... an electric fire truck! Now they developed an EV that can put itself out when it catches on fire!
Believe it or not this idea was toyed with for awhile, many municipalities don't like the idea cause when you think about the power draw that apparatus has the battery runs out after about six or seven hours.

@@GilmerJohnin a well designed hybrid, starting the ICE is automatic when the battery reaches a certain level.
Road pirates to the rescue, no need to bust real criminals or drug dealers, child trafficking. It's no wonder those problems never go away.

Yep happened to me right there. I came all the way from Canada and parked there. Next morning woke up with ticket on the window.
I used to fill up in NJ until Christie raised the fuel tax now it doesn’t pay to do so anymore. That was a pretty good price.
I love the older trucks and I hate going into the city because most people in the city can't drive and make it harder for us drivers. love the video bud

Its not full service, it a union thing in jersey where you cant pump your own fuel, have hollow points, or a gun.....
Another great video. I don't know why, but the highways/turnpike in NJ somehow feel claustrophobic.
Ya know, Steve, every time I watch a video of yours, I still can’t get over how good Orwell sounds.

A true professional in the fire truck, didn't cut hard right or left, & still ended up upright after leaving the trailer & the extra ramps🤣
Vince Lombardi rest area is a real shit hole, a lot of illegal happenings going on.
And yet instead of going after the worse criminals, they magically seem to have all the time to issue tickets and make that quota as revenuers. 🤦🏻♂️
Love watching you haul those beautiful Pierce trucks. Drove Pierce my whole career.
The CabOvers are the best looking trucks out there. Love it! I'm in Alberta and we pay $1.74 a liter now. Which is $6.43 CND per US Gallon $4.69 USD
My old 1971 MGB also had three windshield wipers. LoL
He's blocking the traffic lane, the double yellow lines are crossing under the rear of his trailer.
This is why I quit trucking enjoy your high prices at the supermarket in New Jersey.
Loving these long videos man, fantastic. It’s like hanging out, riding in a cool ol’ cabover as the engine thrums.
I used to pull the throttle lock out a hair not enough to raise the throttle but not enough to stall the engine & could run all day with the Jake on. Don't know if that works on your rig? Love that truck by the way

@@jericho1-4 They use a massive diesel engine too turn a turbine, and produce electricity for the high torque electric motors. Trains are often referred too, as diesel electric.
@@TMarkLenthall As a specialist in the critical disaster/mutual aid response services I still don't see this idea working. even with a small diesel engine as a redundant operations system. I had this argument with a proponent of the all EV mandate, they literally said if a city bus can do it so to can a fire engine. What they fail to realize is they are two different vehicles doing two entirely different tasks. EV's have their uses just not in first responder services or the vast majority of commercial Transport in my opinion until the tech goes aways farther to meet the needs of the industries.
Great video.
Driver get an EZPASS!!
Considering the routes he takes I’m surprised he doesn’t have one.
Both pipes blowin coal today , fixed it !
There is no doubt that it looks better with the two exhaust pipes Steve!!, Every time you see these videos better! 👏💪💙🤍🖤
Didn't you see the "THIS WAS FILMED BEFORE MY GREEN APU WAS INSTALLED" AT THE BEGINNING? GOD 🤣 YOU PEOPLE ARE JUST ASSSS BLLIINDD
That emblem on the trunk of that white car looked like a Lincoln emblem because Rolls-Royce has 2 R's overlapping each other & they would be gold color
It was a Bentley
It's called "Dirty side" for a reason!
I’m curious because of the paint scheme on the truck. Did Orwell start life at Leavitt’s Freight Service in Springfield, Or? Their trucks used to be painted that way and they were still using a similar paint scheme the last time I saw one.
Fyi- if you take 139 (Depressed Highway) and transition to 1&9 north before the Whitpenn Bridge you can take 1&9 North NJTP and then into the Vince....
I'm not a trucker. The politicians, police, and DOTs better get their acts together. The news is full of stories about the supply chain being strained or broken. Trains move a lot of freight, but so do trucks, and it's trucks that deliver it. The Fed bureaucrats made the rules about hours and e-logs without consideration of availabilty of parking. The police and DOTs to often rigorously enforce the rules and behave as if truckers are their sworn enemy. It's consumers who end up paying for all the tickets and fines, and prices are getting out of hand. Truckers are caught between rocks and hard places - drive in the hours given to them even if tired - or try and find a place to park and lose income - or stop in a convenient place when hours are up and get ticketed. Those trucks being ticketed in NJ were in nobody's way and that was pure chickenshit. Also got to wonder how much time truckers lose (and consumers pay for) looking for parking or being subjected to DOT inspections.
That strip club is called "Satin Dolls" on Route 17 south, Lodi, N.J. It's the same club in the HBO series Soprano's. They called it "Bada Bing" in the show. James Gandolfini (RIP) played Tony Soprano and actually grew up in Park Ridge, N.J. not far from the strip club. The town of Park Ridge, N.J. named a street after him.
Parked on a ramp or not in a spot is not allowed.
Cheap fuel isn't good and Good fuel isn't cheap!
I got a $10 parking ticket at a turnpike service area once for parking in a similar spot. Cop waited for me to walk back to the rest area to pee. Ticket was on the truck when I came back. Dick move if you ask me.
But, I just considered it to be the cost of parking in that space. Paid it and moved on lol.
Reminds me of the days of the old Roman Empire. Soldiers marauding through the community harassing and taxing citizens just trying to make a living. Serving their masters unapologetically and with glee. This is how people that have never had a real job behave.
Reminds you? So, you were there yourself? That's so cool!
@@MGower4465 No I wasn’t there. But they have these things called “books” that record history. I can see where you’re probably lost on this, because todays academia doesn’t use them. They just “tell” you what to believe. So you don’t have to think for yourself, or make an attempt to find any data elsewhere. You should study the Roman Empire. Reading is fun.
I used to go to port Jarvis to get fuel when I drove truck
Do you mean Port Jervis, NJ, actually a truck stop, a BP, Citgo station in Montigue, NJ just off I-84 (literaly on the border of NYS) ? Port Jervis is about 65 miles from Jersey City.
@@leonb2637 yes that one. Been over 20 years since I drove. Getting old.lol
The video you made carrying the fire truck what about rail dust from the smokestacks
Some Trucking Companies put their drivers up in hotels every night.
4.85 for diesel same in Hardeeville SC at I 95 .. great video
hey i have semi truck bobtail parking at my house here in Tampa Florida
Is this an older video that you just uploaded? I see both stacks working and I don't think I missed a re-install of the 2nd stack.
Yes, this was before the Green APU was installed.
My old stomping grounds Jersey City. Local 696!
Don't know how you and all of your trucker brother and sister's do this from day to day wish law enforcement and truckers could figure out a way to get along but worry about all the other crap that is going on in our once great nation truckers are the back bone of this country
