1984 Ford LTL9000 Finds Mud In NYC! (Part 1) 

I HATED city driving, been there done that you did a hell of a job backing in.👍👍

Watching you hauling that flatbed load of steel in the city with that Ford 9000 and the way you drive brings back memories for me when I did it in Chicago back in the 1990s

Nice job driving it using RPM's and listening to the motor! I have 38 years experience. Not bragging or trying to stir the pot. 62, started at 24. Taught that way by the old dog's who taught me how to drive. As far as city driving?I grew up in northern NJ just outside of NYC. It's where I first started driving trucks. Safe travels and God bless

Love watching these videos. Truck sounds amazing.

Little History about Joe ,He is my Cousin and we all knew when we we're Kids Joe was going to be a Truck driver!!! KID LIVES AND BREATHES TRUCKS!! One of the BEST Driver's on the East Coast.. Super Proud of his guy 💪 KEepOnTRucKin

Love the Nathan Airchime whistle on the truck. I appreciate it as a railfan, perfect fit for the truck, and tasteful for the city. You turned that child into a future trucker!

Delivered pool water with one of those for years awesome truck

This guy has the coolest videos, not only that he goes into the most nightmare downtown nyc areas but he does it in his old ford, I really am curious can you make money with a truck like that? I have only been a company driver but this is very interesting to me

Great footage of driving through those tight streets. Looks as if she's gonna rub both sides at times.

I've got 2 ltl9000s both with Cummins. Haven't used them in years, stopped trucking awhile ago. But hopefully be trucking in a year. Trucks need some tlc. Like seeing ltls out working. Thanks for the videos.

Blue collar truckin love it!

Sweet LTL

Second camera is awesome, thanks!

Love your channel bro keep making good videos Man I can't wait to get my Class A CDL back and take loads of the filling in New York and all that like I used to

What's up driver another great video my friend, that old ford is sweet. Those are the truck's we can fix and repair with knowledge, no computer needed. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.

I love hear the sound of this truck. Greetings from Italy

Yeah that backing scenario I had those a bunch of times on those job sites in the city and when I was with my Dad on a job site when I was 10 I remember he had this very difficult backing situation so they wrapped a very long thick cable around the tandems on the trailer and swung the back of trailer over Two foot to where they wanted it to be those were the days

The opening scene answered my question...you float your gears!

Becoming a lost art fast! Shifting. Manual transmission. 10,13,15,and 18 speeds. Forget about the "" deep reduction ""! Can ya put your head liner back? I know, i know. It's a work in progress!

i don't mind getting around in the big apple when you are driving and i am at home watching you on you tube good job brother be careful or you will blow the motor in that o ford 10-4👍

Like a boss !!! God I love sound of that ole 9000

Great video keep them coming. BQE still like driving on the moon crazy. Be safe.

Man I just found this channel and can’t get enough of it!! Love the ford and you can have that NYC 💩!!! Great driver though

Best channel to watch right now

I'll be looking out for this LTL in NYC!

Awesome video👍👍👍👍

Very cool video

Just found your channel brilliant proper trucks how they should be. Watching from Scotland

Well 🤷🏼‍♂️ I had enough truck driving , traffic & stupid for today watching the video .. think I’ll get something to drink out of the fridge then go parallel park my a$$ on the couch 🛋 with the tv remote 😂 all be safe …

Hoping to get my Class A permit next week. Long way to get full license but at lest I would be able to drive with someone else.

Ryobi and Milwaukee both make nice cordless soldering irons and heat guns for electrical repairs on the go 👍🏻

I feel for you on the west coast it’s the same thing I deal with San Francisco all the time. I’ve done rollbacks and goosenecks and my service truck. Dealing with people in the city especially is the worst I’ve been at a stop light before and had people walk over my gooseneck trailer lol. The struggle

One cool thing about New York is everyone still runs spokes on the rears in heavy applications

Beautiful truck. Love the foot cam 👍

I had an 89 LTL 3406b with a 15 speed. Boy do I miss that truck.

We should start a GoFundMe so we can get you some new windshield wipers and a shirt mic for when you're in the truck. I couldn't hear anything you said when you were moving.

Get a jake on her 😂😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👌

That take so much practices using the left foot as brake because how much pressure you need to put on the brake pedal. But you do pretty awesome on the shifting up and down. On top of that, depends how responsive your gas pedal is, some truck sometimes take a little longer to kick in then some. But I like responsive gasp pedal. You press on it you know you going to get the rev and get it truck moving in a hurry.

Just recently found your channel, enjoying the content. Great to a 9000 still working. What engine is in the big jigger ? Safe travels mate 👍🏼

She sounded like a screamin jimmy lol..

Would these trips be any easier with a COE truck? Just cause the shorter wheel base ?

Gud day sir, sorry but im a new b. Lol.. just want to ask if how you do shifting without touching a clutch? I enjoyed watching your video sir im just asking.. keep safe

Come on now. Just be a Magician, and move the trailer over a few inches that way! lol! Those LTL 9000's were the shit, for owner operators back in the day. So I gotta ask. Where's that rebar coming from. Is that Port Richmond, down off of Allegany? I had a buddy, Steve who used to drive for the steel hailing company up off of the Blvd, back in on Byberry Rd. All their trucks were bright yellow. His Dad had worked there, but got laid off when US Steel closed up by Fairless Hills, Pa.

Rebar in Essington?...I had made a comment on your brooklyn delivery...I said delivering rebar, made me quit being a driver...In the early 90's our tech was terrible. We'd get a copy machine copy of a street map from dispatch... I can laugh now but; the fury of being in sent to a place that is NOT made for tractor trailers is an anger rarely felt...

I noticed your mudflap is torn I put custom letters anything you want on a mudflap as far as letting words pictures just something I do in my spare time it's all hand painted. Let me know if you're interested thanks.

Don´t you see yours steering colum joint is 80 % broken , near gas pedal ?

They dont know bro! Your exactly right! These guys think you can just put a truck anywhere they don’t know shit because they’ve never done it.

Sweet gear jamming. And, are you considering making merch?

That baby needs a drop visor and some under glow nice truck tho did it come with Jake's or not

I know this is about Trucking but the guy on the trailer loaded with no hard hat no vest don't think that's OSHA approved LOL.

You couldn't pay me enough money to drive in the Northeast

About how much weight is that trailer loaded with rebar?

Yo

What Cummins is that? N series? And what transmission?

That jobsite is a shitshow, like you said they do take advantage

FYI. If you get a mic. No more whistling. Just like whistling into a headset.

Why can't he move the machine

Hate job sites like that. Everyone is running around without any sense of direction. Nothing you do is ever good enough, despite them taking shortcuts left and right.

I don’t get why you double pump the fuel pedal between shifts when it’s not necessary

I dont care how long youve been drivin semi your gona miss a gear every now and then🙂

Those 731 guys or local 40 guys on the ground? That’s clown shit they were pulling. They should of had all that worked out before you came there. They look like first day guys

truck

Blip and pin it foot action!🦿 The way you drive, a Detroit two stroker would be very happy
