Justin, just a suggestion. Take pictures of your trailer before getting loaded and any time you drop a trailer anywhere. 4 pictures of dropped loaded trailer and 5 before getting loaded. Picture angles ; front, sides, rear with door closed, then one of the inside of the trailer from ground level at rear. This covers all areas any damage might be done to it . It may sound like a pain, but it can save you from any further $600.00 fixes.
So I’m a barber I don’t know why you were suggested to me a few months back but I’m hooked. Your positive attitude reminds me to stay positive even in the hardest situations. Love ya and the family.
Get this Justin. This morning I'm making my Hot Shot delivery in Scottsdale AZ. Backing on to a door and wouldn't you know it. 3 Canadian Geese wandering around the docks. They were eye balling my Rig so I told them, "Ya'll in the wrong State. Justins not here!"
27:17, send me an angel! Great song!!! I think, that you caught an Angel though. You, Katie, and the boys.... are a Blessing, to us ALL! Safe travels brother
It's so good to see you guys again. I've been in the hospital with a broken back and spinal cord infection. Fighting the good fight. Back home on I.V. antibiotics and pain meds.
No point in making an insurance claim for 600 bucks in this industry. Saddly it was probably a yard jockey that did it but the company will never admit it so you got to chalk it up as a loss. Company I work for gets trailers damaged at American Standard all the time so we stopped leaving an empty down there so we make them live load it bc it isn't worth the headache of damaged trailers.
@@Philthaentrepreneur because the longer it takes to get fixed the less money he is making with his only trailer. The company wasn’t even going to do anything about it until Monday and then there’s no guarantee that they would even take responsibility.
So happy to see that you guys had a great weekend in spite of the trailer damage!!!! I’m hoping you’ll get a good load to make up for the damage and that you both get home safe!!! Missed the boys in this one but tell them I said hi and I’ll see you guys in the next video!!!!
Thank you for validating my point that constructive dialogue is way more efficient and effective in dealing with crisis, I've been calm and respectful in any situation to get the best results works everytime no need to be shouting at anyone just calm collected dialogue
I absolutely love you, your family and your channel. I am a child of a trucker, then later in life worked and dated a trucker. The company R.P Thomas my father worked for had a little truckers association. It was for kids of truckers, I loved it. Just a thought to have that. I worked for a company 4 truckers out of Morganton NC. I won't stop when traveling if I don't see truckers. I feel safe and comfortable. Family asked me what I wanted for Christmas I said a CB. They asked why. I said I feel safe and that's my second family. ( I have to travel alot)
Hey I live and work in mcdermitt NV. I have been talking and sending truckers to this channel. I have been spreading the green Apu to them. Love all your videos. Ty for posting them
Justin is a very patient man. I bet they have the damage on a security video somewhere! I plowed at many trucking companies and anytime if you chipped a curb or scratched a yellow poll, you were in trouble. There would be people from every department and sometimes the neighbors, coming out to assess the damage. I think if you hit a truck,trailer, or building, the “electric chair”! Your stuff, doesn’t matter.
Enjoyed seeing you and the wife. Sorry for the damage but it looks like the brothers and sisters of trucking helped you out. Be safe. OH..................... Tank's the Man!
I had this happen to. The yard goat did not hook up right. He pulled out not hooked up and the glad hand flew back busting the box. Tearing it from the trailer. And the recoil busted the box from the inpact.
fun fact that green semi hallahan transport from the truck show that you saw fueling up was in one of your prior videos at a gas station only reason i remember is it's from my hometown , found the video it was on december 13 2021 that you posted it
Hey man sorry to hear about your trailer, I know the pain had a reciever put holes in the roof of my trailer in the beginning and was without my trailer for a week. That was awesome you were able to get yours fixed so quick. Hope ya'll made it home safe glad I was able to meet ya'll. Thanks again for everything and I hope I get to see you again some time. Until then safe trucking.
You said you was putting your w900 up for sale so they are cooking your goose for ya.. lol.. love your videos!! Keep trucking and please keep the w9.. I’ve been watching your channel for a while. God bless you and your family..
My last name is Weigel no relation but you are 100 correct. Y gull. My last name doesn't follow the rule I before E expect after Y (or something like that) people who hear Weigel are always spelling it wrong. Most common misspell is Wiegel or the missspelling above Weigle
Love you guys! Live just southeast of Columbia, SC. Had a neighbor who drove OTR 40 years ago. Tried to get me hooked. Just wasn't my thing. Live the life you are given. Love watching you kids though! Hey! You did good finding a sho nuff Carolina lady. She is a doll! I have five daughters. Oldest is 50, youngest is 30. I know what it is like to be around tough girls. They grew up with Mom and Dad!
Getting loud gets you no where, i have learnt this over the years, I'm still hot headed but as i get older i know you will resolve an issue much faster and easier staying calm
Hello there Justin and T-Dubs.. This is comnent 168. Justin you really shook me with the title of this video..no good! Your videos of the show were wonderful, and I really loved seeing all those great machines.. Thank you so much. Have s great week. Blessing to the boys.
Speaking of Cattle Haulers..... I was riding my m/c across South Dakota and pulled up behind a cattle hauler. I wanted to pass but had to wait for traffic..... damn those 2 lane roads. Found out that cattle still have to go pee while in the truck..... all over me! There was a shower and laundry for me that night! From then on I always followed about 2 truck lengths behind!
I hate when companies drag their feet all the time they could so easily have that trailer unloaded in 30 mins but nope gotta be difficult because someone can't make a decision, Had a friend here in the UK wait 5 hours to be unloaded after a failed unload day before while getting there 3 hours before closing, Took a call to his big boss (owner) and he said just leave and I will cancel their contract with us and pay you double this week still there 6 years later.
Used to work there. Couple quick facts about GE in Louisville… part of the location choice was to be in the same time zone as the NY Stock exchange. Which Louisville changed which makes Louisville the furtherest west for an eastern time zone. All was built during WWII and certain accommodations were made during the time. Factory was built to be able to convert for future war efforts. With that in mind the property doubles as a airport terminal. From the center of building 1 to the center of building 5 is 1 mile. Building 6 burnt down in a freak fire 2015-2017. Road/runway extended well past building 6 plenty of space for planes to take off and land. Anyway just a little USA war effort history and mapping of time zone history. “End of the lesson” Sean Connery Highlander
Speaking of Tennessee and Chargers I was the first Traffic Officer our agency ever had in Sevier County back in 2006. They got me a 2007 new Charger back when there were very few out. Radio station started calling me Chargerman back then. Loved that car so much for my birthday in 2007 wife got me one of my own so had two in garage. Those were good times. Now have 2020 Silverado RST black. Been blessed and had lot of great vehicles in my life.
What a bad thing to happen to your trailer! So happy that you found someone to get it repaired! Such a bad deal with getting your trailer unloaded. God less you all!🙏🏻🙏🏻
After painfully watching my CDL classmates kill cones while learning 90 degree alley docks I now know why damage like this occurs. Shame on the mess! With my hotshot I can usually avoid the truckstops. Once I get a semi, I'll be sleeping with one eye open and one hand on the air horn...
@@AmyBethB I should have ordered the "Swing Wide It's A Friggin Trailer" shirt before starting the class. As the other guys in my group circle around the 90 degree alley dock area, they kill the corner cones. I tell them that's not a $28 cone, but the nose of a $250K truck they are ripping off. I keep telling them to watch Bonehead Truckers. Should be required homework for the CDL schools!
Justin, I noticed you carry a fair amount of stuff on the second level in your sleeper setup. My suggestion is to install a net in case you have a very fast stop nothing becomes a missile headed towards you. I've seen it happen when I was Jeeping and it can be a pain to pick up all the stuff afterwards. Save yourself from getting hit from behind.
During my 12 yr run as a union carpenter, I was known as a fisherman. This apprentice from the city wanted to go fishing, so I invited him to my humble country home, and he and his girlfriend came down to go fishing. Knowing both of them were city folk I decided to just take them to the local reservoir where they wouldn't get into any trouble. My mistake ... A goose and gander were there with their little ones, minding their own business when my co-workers girlfriend said "Awww... look at the baby ducks!" she looked at her boyfriend and asked him if she could pet one of the babies ... He looked at me and feeling mean after tolerating him being a real ass all morning, I said "Sure! Just grab one!" He was wearing shorts, and to cut the story short, he was bleeding from several places on the backs of his legs before he could lock himself in his car, and I don't feel bad as I kept yelling at him, telling him to drop the baby goose ... I should be ashamed ... but I'm not ... lol
Looks better than before. The chaps who did the work deserve a clap. Brilliant. This is where "word of mouth" comes into its own. Name them, so they can get more work. Fantastic
Did I hear right,He said “I’m gonna help you out bro” You definitely have the patience needed for your job. I’ve seen guys loose their minds over less. Great seeing young people that get it. Showing the best sides of trucking along with worst.
Glad you got the trailer fixed. I don't like that GE facility. It's hard enough in a Freightliner Cascadia, I can't imagine working in there with the W900. I haven't been there since my company put me in a T680 the first of November.
What a way to add stress to what was to be a nice weekend with fellow truckers. I still think it was intentional (with a hammer). Glad someone stepped up with the repairs. and I seriously think you need a tracker device on the trailer. I've noticed you've had more of the drop and wait type loads, and leaving your money-maker is somewhat stressful anyway. Might as well permanently add a tracker device to it. Enjoy those boys and get some rest. Lloyd
Glad you were able to get your trailer fixed have a safe trip back South Carolina I see Geese every day where I work lol thanks for the great video love the Channel
Glad you had a great time, stinks that some donkey had to damage your trailer without owning up to it, glad your on the road again, keep on keeping on!!
Had one of my trucks back into twice in 6 months. Second time clown drove off . Each time was right around 24 grand each time in repairs . Both times truck was down for almost three months .
Hey Justin if I knew you was in Simpsonville Kentucky last week I could have drove out there I'm an hour away from that time but I'll catch you next time if you pass through but glad to see y'all had a good time out here
Sorry your trailer got damaged bro, Louisville is jacked up anyway. Oh yeah, I thought that was you at LeMoo last Thursday night. I said it to wifey, she said to go speak. Nah, that's not him. But it was, lol... Small world. Love the vids bro. Keep truckin.
Glad yall had fun at MATS wouldve loved to have meet y'all. I know you was dealing with all the trailer mishap, glad you was able to get it fixed, unloaded, and head back home. Maybe if you come back to my area we can meet up sometime and grab a steak n beer. Keep On Keepin On, God Pless... T's&P's 🙏🙏
Going to start school for my CDL next month. Really enjoy all of your videos. Your videos are always very informative, positive and very upbeat. Joining a large carrier for a few years, then maybe going your route, and becoming an owner-operator. Love the W900. Kenworth makes some really great looking and great hauling trucks. In my personal opinion of course. My best to you, T-Dubs, and your entire family. Keep the videos coming. Hope to meet up with you on the road after I get my CDL.
I had a Great Dane dry van, and the first thing I did was to have the nose package recessed into the nose. I then had the inside welded with a plate steel and cross barred. I got hit serval times over the years, in the nose of that box, but never exposed the road worth appointments damaged. Also, I had the ICC bar cut and remounted with bud bolts. Got locked into a ICC grab bar once in Albany. Idiots locked my ICC bar, then went home early, on a long weekend. Oh really? I unbolted my cross bar, slid it out of the dock hook, pulled my box out, took all the FAK to a public warehouse and sold it. That unhitchable ICC bar has come in real handy over my 18 years or so that I had that ole girl. Been thought countless DOT stops, never had a problem because of the way it was cut and reattached.
@@wilE6764 yeah, just imagine if it was someone who didn't have the funds to get that fixed, especially with the way things are currently. They won't unload it costing money. So what do they do if yoy can't move it? Take it? I'm afraid I would have gotten a bit testy about it. They don't even know what's going on in their own yard yet they have cameras? Mmhmm they knew what happened! Makes me wonder if it's a regular thing. They should expand their lot or space it better to prevent such things or be responsible to fix the damages that occur on the spot. Let alone they put him off to begin with like they didn't wanna deal with him. 😏😒 would make me not wanna go back there.
@@wilE6764 after hours, holidays and weekend repairs are expensive. Many shops have a minimum charge for mobile service calls. After hours weekends and holidays always increase costs. He was charged $75.00 just for a parts center to come in and pull parts and deliver to his site. I really doubt his parts costs were $20 or $30 dollars. Probably more in the one hundred dollar or more range. Got to also figure the potential loss of income. Lots to think on. No one likes to spend that much, but in the end it was probably worth the cost. Security cameras on site may be able to pick up on what happened. But that doesn’t fix the problem when the company looks at it the next week. Most he can eventually hope for is reimbursement. Sadly, what can you do when a person doesn’t care how much damage or inconvenience they cause you.
Love the channel but come on!!... "MAJOR DAMAGE to The W900 !!"..... kind of click bait a little bit, don't you think??? BTW.... I didn't see any MAJOR DAMAGE to ANYTHING in this video. And by the title, I guess we were supposed to think the damage was to your truck and not some random guy at a truck stop????? Come on Justin!!!... don't make me unsubscribe... lol... j/k I wouldn't do that... keep up the good content
Love the content brother glad to see a man with a heart and bringing back old school trucking getting out meeting people in the trucking world but like evwry were and every thing we do in life it has there idiot's so keep on trucking brother.thanks for letting us ride along with yall God bless yall have a great day
Thats a Factory OEM step. You DO NOT want to buy one of them. Last I knew they where almost $2-K. They use that box on the passenger side as a step. Look at the East Manufacturering (Randolph, Ohio) at there step boxes. They come in different widths, And have a TON more storage space in them than the OEM step boxes do. And over time, those OEM boxes wear and RATTLE LIKE a snake. I HATE RATTLES..... MAC and Trail Star also make boxes that are frame mount. I had 2 (one on each side) 30" on my heavy haul truck. One had all my OD Signs and flags and portable lights in it. And the other (Passenger side) had straps and edge protection equipment in it. They definitely helped clear out room in my 3 door enclosed headache rack. I kept my 3/8" chains up in that rack. And all the 1/2" G-100 chains and binders stayed on the goose neck of the RGN, all locked in my custom built chain rack.
@@JustTruckin Merritt makes a smooth finish 36" step box thats under $700.00. There multiple options out there. Id try and stay with American or Canadian made. And away from the Tractor Supply stuff. Today there's multiple type of tread designs or smooth polished available to match your existing style for that custom look on your truck. Being a former Heavy Haul O/Op I had multiple boxes and enclosed racks to carry and SECURE everything from load securement to machinery tarps that had to me moved with a 2 wheel dolly or a fork lift. At one point in the early 2000's (Iraq war era) I was hauling replace turant bearings for the M1 Abrams tanks down to Anniston, Alabama to Defense Research where they where rebuilding them for the US Army. They where in creates that where 12'8" wide and 40" tall. One inner and one outer per created box. They would take the new one out and put the old worn one in and ship the created box back to NE Ohio to have the manufacturer repair them and send them back. Paid great both ways with no weight on the deck. Only rub was, they had to be 100% Covered/Tarped. And they would only allow them to be stacked 4 high. So I had a set (2) custom tarps made just to haul those bearings. It only took two round trips to pay for those tarps. And ill bet we made 30 or 40 trips to Alabama in the 3 yrs that they worked on those parts. Back when I had arm that looked like South Florida Pythons. And now I know where there herniated disc's in my back came from nearly 20 yrs later. LoL. Love the channel, I'm glad to see someone is still doing it the right way.
My experience says that someone made a u turn in front of trailer and hit it with the trailer as it was a tight spot as you experienced while you were backing up. The trailer that hit it was back tracking as it was turning. That is what it looks like. Part of trucking. Such is life.
@11:41 Chili's, I have a love/hate relationship with that place. I used to work at one as a line cook many,many blue moons ago(when my age started with a 2-) and almost got into a fist fight with a dishwasher. Gotta admit though their "Cajun Chicken Pasta" is a pretty decent dish
Backed into the staging area at an americold location last week. I walked in to get my bills, was inside for 5 minutes. Walk outside to see some dude back right into my front fender, get out and look, pushed my mirror back out and tried to take off. Got his company and trailer number and called them to report him. Told them if they didn’t get him to come back and give me his info I was calling the cops for a hit and run.
Justin, just a suggestion. Take pictures of your trailer before getting loaded and any time you drop a trailer anywhere. 4 pictures of dropped loaded trailer and 5 before getting loaded. Picture angles ; front, sides, rear with door closed, then one of the inside of the trailer from ground level at rear. This covers all areas any damage might be done to it . It may sound like a pain, but it can save you from any further $600.00 fixes.
That’s what came to my mind as well.
And make sure it has a time stamp on each picture!
I did that the one time I did a drop trailer. Literally walked around snapping photos followed by another round around this time video
I'm so happy that everything worked out in spite of the trailer kick - up
Keep those big wheels turning! 🚛
Always do this. It’s annoying at times but worth the few mins it takes
So I’m a barber I don’t know why you were suggested to me a few months back but I’m hooked. Your positive attitude reminds me to stay positive even in the hardest situations. Love ya and the family.
Thank You JEN 😎🙏🏽
Your new name is king of the deadhead miles haha,keep the dirty side down

I love how positive and kind you are Justin in when things are looking so bad ! God bless you!
Maybe all those yard Jockies were called in for a impromptu training class on how not to rip out trailer connections.
27:17, send me an angel! Great song!!! I think, that you caught an Angel though. You, Katie, and the boys.... are a Blessing, to us ALL! Safe travels brother
It's so good to see you guys again. I've been in the hospital with a broken back and spinal cord infection. Fighting the good fight. Back home on I.V. antibiotics and pain meds.
Hi Barry! Ts &Ps get well SOON I know its hard but watch those pain meds
Thank you and God Bless my friend.
Hopefully a quick recovery
Y da He
Hey y'all keep the wheels a spinning & the girls a grinin keep that big one between the ditchs-& don't take home to Mama 10-4
Might want have the repair guy document exactly what he did to repair and what typically causes this damage (for insurance claims).
No point in making an insurance claim for 600 bucks in this industry. Saddly it was probably a yard jockey that did it but the company will never admit it so you got to chalk it up as a loss. Company I work for gets trailers damaged at American Standard all the time so we stopped leaving an empty down there so we make them live load it bc it isn't worth the headache of damaged trailers.
Shippers and receivers should be liable for the damages to your trailer. It’s messed up they would hold your trailer for excessively long hours.
Right like why was you paying for damages done by them?????

If you were wondering, the "water reservoir" you pointed out is called Wood Creek Lake. I live in the area. Love your channel.

Knowing both of them were city folk I decided to just take them to the local reservoir where they wouldn't get into any trouble. My mistake ... A goose and gander were there with their little ones, minding their own business when my co-workers girlfriend said "Awww... look at the baby ducks!" she looked at her boyfriend and asked him if she could pet one of the babies ... He looked at me and feeling mean after tolerating him being a real ass all morning, I said "Sure! Just grab one!"
He was wearing shorts, and to cut the story short, he was bleeding from several places on the backs of his legs before he could lock himself in his car, and I don't feel bad as I kept yelling at him, telling him to drop the baby goose ... I should be ashamed ... but I'm not ... lol
OMG, Justin. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Definitely the life of a trucker. WHY?
Good old fresh country air.
Cool..place
20:28. Told you. Thee most dangerous place to park and take a 10 break is at any truckstop. Credentials, trucker since 030595.
Its Sad 😔
@@JustTruckin all three of my non preventable accidents have happened at truckstops. I love brother 👍👍👍👍
You are lucky to have such nice receiver. I’ve been to quite a few rude ones
Looks better than before. The chaps who did the work deserve a clap. Brilliant. This is where "word of mouth" comes into its own. Name them, so they can get more work. Fantastic
Did I hear right,He said “I’m gonna help you out bro” You definitely have the patience needed for your job. I’ve seen guys loose their minds over less. Great seeing young people that get it. Showing the best sides of trucking along with worst.
Glad you got the trailer fixed. I don't like that GE facility. It's hard enough in a Freightliner Cascadia, I can't imagine working in there with the W900. I haven't been there since my company put me in a T680 the first of November.
What a way to add stress to what was to be a nice weekend with fellow truckers. I still think it was intentional (with a hammer). Glad someone stepped up with the repairs. and I seriously think you need a tracker device on the trailer. I've noticed you've had more of the drop and wait type loads, and leaving your money-maker is somewhat stressful anyway. Might as well permanently add a tracker device to it. Enjoy those boys and get some rest. Lloyd
Yeah our weather in Kentucky fluctuates so much I don’t doubt that it was cold hopefully the weather would warm up a little sometime this week
Thank everybody who help w justin just truck family fix his trailer peace n love thank all trucker amercican open
I’m happy your Trailer got fixed and you’re on your way home
Glad you were able to get your trailer fixed have a safe trip back South Carolina I see Geese every day where I work lol thanks for the great video love the Channel
Glad you had a great time, stinks that some donkey had to damage your trailer without owning up to it, glad your on the road again, keep on keeping on!!
Someone turning around tight in front of your trailer and trailer swing hit your trailer. Damage is all going one way
Justin you took care of Momma. A queen with a smile is a happy man. Safe travels to the both of you 🚛🙏
Had one of my trucks back into twice in 6 months. Second time clown drove off . Each time was right around 24 grand each time in repairs . Both times truck was down for almost three months .
Wow 😯
Hope your able to get a refund from them. The things we go through in Trucking to make a living. Stay safe on the way back to the babies ✌🏽
OMFG THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE THE TRUCK SHOW TRIP FROM HELL
Cool to see a UA-camr from my town! Great video!
Thanks for showing us the truck show because we didn't get to go this year also Sorry for your mishap
Hey Justin if I knew you was in Simpsonville Kentucky last week I could have drove out there I'm an hour away from that time but I'll catch you next time if you pass through but glad to see y'all had a good time out here
Sorry your trailer got damaged bro, Louisville is jacked up anyway. Oh yeah, I thought that was you at LeMoo last Thursday night. I said it to wifey, she said to go speak. Nah, that's not him. But it was, lol... Small world. Love the vids bro. Keep truckin.
That’s awesome man that we cross paths
Glad yall had fun at MATS wouldve loved to have meet y'all. I know you was dealing with all the trailer mishap, glad you was able to get it fixed, unloaded, and head back home. Maybe if you come back to my area we can meet up sometime and grab a steak n beer. Keep On Keepin On, God Pless... T's&P's 🙏🙏
Both of you should try to make it to the gear jammer truck show up in NH. Would love to me ya both.
Going to start school for my CDL next month. Really enjoy all of your videos. Your videos are always very informative, positive and very upbeat. Joining a large carrier for a few years, then maybe going your route, and becoming an owner-operator. Love the W900. Kenworth makes some really great looking and great hauling trucks. In my personal opinion of course. My best to you, T-Dubs, and your entire family. Keep the videos coming. Hope to meet up with you on the road after I get my CDL.
GOAL, GOAL, GOAL... Everybody driving trucks knows it but some just ignore it. I never hit anything when I drove. Just common sense.
I had a Great Dane dry van, and the first thing I did was to have the nose package recessed into the nose. I then had the inside welded with a plate steel and cross barred. I got hit serval times over the years, in the nose of that box, but never exposed the road worth appointments damaged. Also, I had the ICC bar cut and remounted with bud bolts. Got locked into a ICC
grab bar once in Albany. Idiots locked my ICC bar, then went home early, on a long weekend.
Oh really? I unbolted my cross bar, slid it out of the dock hook, pulled my box out, took all the
FAK to a public warehouse and sold it. That unhitchable ICC bar has come in real handy over my 18 years or so that I had that ole girl. Been thought countless DOT stops, never had a problem because of the way it was cut and reattached.
Looks like "Demo-Derby for Semi's" in Louisville, KY.
😳😳😳 oh my gosh!! 600 bucks to fix that!! 😱😱😱 that's a steep mistake for someone to make! I hope you get refunded!
Ikr..that was probably $20-$30 in parts ...wow!
@@wilE6764 yeah, just imagine if it was someone who didn't have the funds to get that fixed, especially with the way things are currently. They won't unload it costing money. So what do they do if yoy can't move it? Take it?
I'm afraid I would have gotten a bit testy about it. They don't even know what's going on in their own yard yet they have cameras? Mmhmm they knew what happened!
Makes me wonder if it's a regular thing. They should expand their lot or space it better to prevent such things or be responsible to fix the damages that occur on the spot.
Let alone they put him off to begin with like they didn't wanna deal with him. 😏😒 would make me not wanna go back there.
@@wilE6764 after hours, holidays and weekend repairs are expensive. Many shops have a minimum charge for mobile service calls. After hours weekends and holidays always increase costs. He was charged $75.00 just for a parts center to come in and pull parts and deliver to his site. I really doubt his parts costs were $20 or $30 dollars. Probably more in the one hundred dollar or more range. Got to also figure the potential loss of income. Lots to think on. No one likes to spend that much, but in the end it was probably worth the cost. Security cameras on site may be able to pick up on what happened. But that doesn’t fix the problem when the company looks at it the next week. Most he can eventually hope for is reimbursement. Sadly, what can you do when a person doesn’t care how much damage or inconvenience they cause you.
@@lloyd1344 Nm..I thought it got fixed during the week ( after he dropped it Wednesday) and i forgot about the electrical box
Love the channel but come on!!... "MAJOR DAMAGE to The W900 !!"..... kind of click bait a little bit, don't you think??? BTW.... I didn't see any MAJOR DAMAGE to ANYTHING in this video. And by the title, I guess we were supposed to think the damage was to your truck and not some random guy at a truck stop????? Come on Justin!!!... don't make me unsubscribe... lol... j/k I wouldn't do that... keep up the good content
Gotta keep it catchy 😂 just ironic I see that right after my trailer gets hit
Justin i really wish i could have gone to Mats as it was about 12 mins from where i live. Maybe next time when you come
Love the content brother glad to see a man with a heart and bringing back old school trucking getting out meeting people in the trucking world but like evwry were and every thing we do in life it has there idiot's so keep on trucking brother.thanks for letting us ride along with yall God bless yall have a great day
Your trailer looks like the yard dog didn’t get latched and drove off. The clamp is air activated and when it’s latched the air button pops up.
They are the worst but glad the trailer is fixed and you and Tws enjoyed the truck show
Loved your mats coverage and interviews
I promise somebody is on a mission to give you hell this year 😂
The geese have your number. They all have internet .
What the heck man. You’ve had the worse luck as of late. Geezz brother hope everything turns around for you.
Hey there guys I’m a very person that watch you all the time Cincinnati Ohio here
Thank you Albert 🙏🏽
Ayy that’s my part of ky.
Louisville to shelbyville to Lexington all the way to Pikeville
Be safe brother and god bless
It smells like money is what I always use to tell my kids.
Thats a Factory OEM step. You DO NOT want to buy one of them. Last I knew they where almost $2-K. They use that box on the passenger side as a step. Look at the East Manufacturering (Randolph, Ohio) at there step boxes. They come in different widths, And have a TON more storage space in them than the OEM step boxes do. And over time, those OEM boxes wear and RATTLE LIKE a snake. I HATE RATTLES.....
MAC and Trail Star also make boxes that are frame mount. I had 2 (one on each side) 30" on my heavy haul truck. One had all my OD Signs and flags and portable lights in it. And the other (Passenger side) had straps and edge protection equipment in it. They definitely helped clear out room in my 3 door enclosed headache rack. I kept my 3/8" chains up in that rack. And all the 1/2" G-100 chains and binders stayed on the goose neck of the RGN, all locked in my custom built chain rack.
Thank You Pyle
@@JustTruckin Merritt makes a smooth finish 36" step box thats under $700.00. There multiple options out there. Id try and stay with American or Canadian made. And away from the Tractor Supply stuff. Today there's multiple type of tread designs or smooth polished available to match your existing style for that custom look on your truck. Being a former Heavy Haul O/Op I had multiple boxes and enclosed racks to carry and SECURE everything from load securement to machinery tarps that had to me moved with a 2 wheel dolly or a fork lift. At one point in the early 2000's (Iraq war era) I was hauling replace turant bearings for the M1 Abrams tanks down to Anniston, Alabama to Defense Research where they where rebuilding them for the US Army. They where in creates that where 12'8" wide and 40" tall. One inner and one outer per created box. They would take the new one out and put the old worn one in and ship the created box back to NE Ohio to have the manufacturer repair them and send them back. Paid great both ways with no weight on the deck. Only rub was, they had to be 100% Covered/Tarped. And they would only allow them to be stacked 4 high. So I had a set (2) custom tarps made just to haul those bearings. It only took two round trips to pay for those tarps. And ill bet we made 30 or 40 trips to Alabama in the 3 yrs that they worked on those parts. Back when I had arm that looked like South Florida Pythons. And now I know where there herniated disc's in my back came from nearly 20 yrs later. LoL. Love the channel, I'm glad to see someone is still doing it the right way.
Hodgebuilt makes some nice steps like that. Us cattle pots use Hodgebuilt a lot
My experience says that someone made a u turn in front of trailer and hit it with the trailer as it was a tight spot as you experienced while you were backing up. The trailer that hit it was back tracking as it was turning. That is what it looks like.
Part of trucking. Such is life.
@11:41 Chili's, I have a love/hate relationship with that place. I used to work at one as a line cook many,many blue moons ago(when my age started with a 2-) and almost got into a fist fight with a dishwasher. Gotta admit though their "Cajun Chicken Pasta" is a pretty decent dish
I’m glad they got your trailer fixed.
No he paid somebody to fix his trailer after they went and f’ed it up for him.
@@kplvnejp I’m just glad he is able to keep rolling. That’s kinda a crappy deal.
You Got a good sounding engine on that W900 there bud.
Glad to see everything going good... I was waiting for Rick Astley to pop out at the end! 😂
Backed into the staging area at an americold location last week. I walked in to get my bills, was inside for 5 minutes. Walk outside to see some dude back right into my front fender, get out and look, pushed my mirror back out and tried to take off. Got his company and trailer number and called them to report him. Told them if they didn’t get him to come back and give me his info I was calling the cops for a hit and run.
Justin get a silver horse shoe and fix it to the front of your trailer for good luck your truck is covered by the crucifixion stay safe.
