Finally someone who know how to drive a truck. No jack rabbit starts no speed shifting no rough housing. Just smooth starts and stops and shifting. Letting the weight of the load help you. Good driver...
Once I hear that kitty cat sound, My smile physically can't go back to a frown for five minutes. I grew up in a farm community and so I was used to hearing trucks hauling milk and corn. Loved every minute of Wisconsin.
Thank you very much to all farmers and truck drivers, working hard around the clock to make sure I can buy my favorite products. Also, that truck sounds so smooth.
With how clean she's running I'm sure she doesn't need the cats, that is one extremely clean combustion, basically zero smoke which is good, none of that coal rolling crap
Back in the 80/90's I had a '81 359 with a 3406A. Had the pump set so there was a wisp of black on each upshift. As I got out of trucking in 2001, this video brings back memories for sure, almost makes me miss climbing the local 8% hills here in southern BC!!
Same here, if I weren’t so old n stove up I’d drive again myself, I miss driving the ol two stick Mack I learned in. 77’ DM800, she was a beast, 350 four valve, 15 speed Tri-Plex and 65k bogies, she wasn’t fast but boy was she strong ✌️🇺🇸
I just love this video and I had to watch and listen to it over and over . You sir have a great sounding truck driver. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming so we can watch them all. May you find cheaper fuel prices soon so your travels will be more reasonable. Also may our Lord be with you wherever you go.
Obviously not shot here in Colorado. The rotten roads and bridge approaches would have jarred the truck and trailer to pieces, and the camera would have shaken off in the first 75 ft. on the road. Spending the money on interlopers. Beautiful rig and Kitty/Jake combo.
Cant beat a good ole cat, i currently am running a 03 379 with a 7cz c16 3.70 rears, and i shuffle grain from elevators to train terminals in Washington state, northern idaho, then when thats slow, i got a reitnouer conestoga flatbed, and i will run the west coast from seattle area down to bakersfield, fresno, salinas, california, and run that back and forth. Great looking truck, nice sounding truck, sounds similar to mine, but i got tall 8" stovetops on my truck, and the jakes arent as rattley, more throated, but very nice truck you got, stay safe out there, and I'll catch ya on the next video
I had my iPhone mounted to a ram suction cup mount with a cheap Amazon speaker plugged in to try and knock some wind noise down. Nothing too fancy but the speaker did knock down quite a bit of wind noise.
I'm slow, and did some non farmer/ non economic math but based on peak season sale price of 5 dollars per bushel that equals about 7500 to 8000 dollars a load as a rough estimate. not bad at all
It's crazy to think Ive sat here and watched this whole video from start to finish mainly because it reminds me so much of Kansas now idk what state ur in but when i seen the caseys gas station i got flooded with childhood memories and plus all the beautiful scenery god i miss it so much now im stuck out here in North Carolina and it's depressing because im hella homesick but i love the video man truck sounds healthy
@@507farmer7 yessir i gotta say i agree with everyone else here in the comments impressive driving skills you knew when to shift at the right rpm and didn't bang shift it or rev it up really high when using the jake im very impressed my dad was a over the road trucker for over 30+ years the man can drive a truck pretty good but you sir just blew him out the water
Yep figured it out later that you were at Joice,have kinfolks that live off of wheelerwood rd,normally get up there a couple of times a year,love being up there for bean and corn harvest,nice Pete,the fat boy kit looks great.
