Used to drive a Pete COE exactly the same as yours, even same colour powered by 3406 and 15 speed. Boy this brings back many memories. Last Pete I had was. 1995 357 with an N 14 500 and 18 speed heavy haul, usually 140,000 through the Rocky Mountains.
@@fil1329 there was only one way to set them, some people have the touch, some don’t. I was fortunate, I was always able to get the max power with the factory specs. Once electronics came to be in 1989 the difference was a proper specified drive train and some drivers were just better at figuring out the best way to operate them. I worked with the Cummins engineers and listened closely to what they had to say about operating an engine. Once got caught in a snow/ice storm and climbing a hill pulled the engine down to 975 rpm, made the hill with a load of 140,000 gross, would never have done this on my own, after that I became a believer of the engineers. The N 14 was bullet proof but people always have to monkey with the driveline spec. Doesn’t usually work. Keep safe my friend.
I grew up with trucking in. My blood. My grandfather and uncles all drove dump. Logging and van trailers. I'm obsessed with big iron. Old Skool rulzzz!
People don’t realize the most important people in the United States are our Soldiers and our Truck Drivers we can’t do what we do without them!! So God bless our Soldiers and our Truck Drivers may God keep you all safe through these bad times!! Thank you for doing what you guys do!!!!
Thanks FSC Speed Shop! Back in the day hauling grain in a GMC Astro with my dad then a 1974 K100 and a 1978 K100 that I drove myself before getting a 1984 w900. Awesome! Got a new Sub Here.
Put a tank under the trailer 20 litres & some soap you can have a clean up any time if you can’t use amenities at truck stops or when picking up or dropping off Standard here in oz Lov the vids Keep the rubber side down have a good one
I watch you because you do everything right, I am a trained rigger Rigger (Hate that word) and I have only seen a couple of places where I might do things differently BUT in those cases, it was a style, not outcome.
Cabovers rule! 🤩 You came through Ohio...that’s where I live...Columbus. That was a good trip for you. Hope you made it back home ok. Is that an 84 Pete? It’s a sharp truck. I see that you have another video...New Cat Engine. Looking forward to seeing it. Keep it safe! Bless you and your family! 🥰
@@NerdyRed23 🇺🇸 Thanks friend! I’ve always felt that cabovers offered so much style & character. Hey, if nothing else, they sure give you a big canvas to paint up. Blessings!🥰🤩✌️
@@the.porter.productions totally cabovers are super duper unique trucks they have style and colors too. I have a video that shows all my toy model big rig collection you'll like it. Don't forget to hit the like and subscribe including comment
Just found your channel. Great to see that lovely cabover earning its keep, not simply being over restored and used as a toy. Now subbed and binge watching all your other good stuff. Regards from Wales UK.
Just found you'r channel i'm from LIVERPOOL UK.I am 70 first cab-over i drove was Ford Thames Trader,KM Bedford ,Volvo F88 tandem rear axles, Scania 141.Love the old cab-overs lift engine cover and warm you'r dinner up on exhaust manifold happy days.Great to see old girl still earnin a crust keep on truckin.👌😎
Steve here is homemade hand sanitizer you can make. Extra virgin olive oil and equal amount of wintergreen Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. mix together and use. simple
Hey that’s a baker Hughes truck you hauling back there wow !!!! Drove those truck back in the day pulling rhino pumps in Alice Texas during the fracking good ole days .....
After hauling trucks for miles, putting the chains between the duals is the best and only way to tie the rear of the truck or trailer down. Using the frame is not as if you lose air in the bags, you're chains are loose, otherwise good job. Drove at '96 362 Pete for 15 yrs. Loved every minute.
I always wanted to drive a 362 cabover pete. I ve sat in a few but have yet to drive one they are roomy inside and I like how they sit so high in the air and that side box on the" 110" model..hell you could stick a suitcase in there sideways
Never really understood why people don’t appreciate our truckers, everything we have around us was brought by big rigs. Even though I don’t drive nationwide, when I’m in my personal I help em every chance I can, give em room! And definitely don’t pull out in front of one because they definitely don’t stop on a dime! Love the ole cab overs man! Can’t wait to find me one soon!!
"G' 'head?" No one says that but Arnold Horshak and Uncle Tony's Garage! Thanks for keeping that beautiful truck on the road for others to admire! That is one nice Cabover Pete!
The go pro on r the side of the trailer that's an interesting view when turning left and right. Orwell is a nice looking Pete need to show him some luv with some Alcoa as on the drive axles would look sweet...
Can say I seen a few of your videos and hooked. I myself live in Lorain county and enjoy seeing you pass on through on the pike and even Cleveland as well. Safe travels and keep the world turning with you’re rig sir.
Great video mate, I’m a driver from London, England and when we first went into lockdown we where all seen as heroes, we even had home made signs hanging from bridges saying things like, “thank you and god bless all truckers” few places had food and toilets open, the roads where lovely and empty (something my forefathers always wished for) But even though where still in lockdown, the traffic is nearly back to normal and we are back to being treated like third class citizens again 😉
Nice to see an old school rig still earning its keep. New trucks are comfy and easy to drive but think we lost something over the years just not the same feeling you get driving a bad ass old truck.
Bruh this is my first time seeing your video and I have to say I applaud you. Especially the having to deal with sanitizing yourself. I drive as well but mostly locally and I understand not being able to even go inside to see my trailer get loaded. They could be putting ANYTHING in there or taking anything out. Stay strong Bruh. Do your thang!!!! Salute!!!!!
lol jeesh 2 wash up jus grap a couple gals water, use dish detergent, u could still get that, or hand cleaner at any auto parts store, walmart back in 5/20. been doin that since 1980's
Well damn you got me wanting to get a cabover, I don’t mean just to have I wanna run that thing down the highway as I do this new junk. Want it to BE my truck, I’m old school and live old school. So future project made now, think it’ll be ready by the time my kids are grown so I can go out and go Orr make the big money so I can make that cabover one sweet ride.
That looks like a Baker Hughes truck. Oilfied company in Texas. Going back they were Schulmber J and B.J. oil field before. All of Texas and rest of country. They were \ are a well production company. Fracking and well service. Really like the cabover Pete in your shop!!!
Old school dog and chains. They been outlawed here in Australia. Our roadworthy certification mob over here made ratchet dogs compulsory. Good to see some people are still using the old ones. The CAT sounds TUFF you done a good job bloke.
Only thing is no wires on the ends of the bear traps. That is a big fine in the areas around me. Happy he is paying. Speed binders, ratchet binders, no problem. Best wishes, stay safe
Man, you sure have an amazing looking (and sounding) rig! I'd like to make a suggestion. I'd love it if you could do an ASMR driving this truck (no talking, no music, just that 3406 singing). Make sure the exhaust is extremely loud, I thought I heard there was a muffler on it when watching a previous video, sounded quieter. Make sure to include engine start, shifting, cruising, and jaking. Please make it as long as possible. Please let me know ASAP.
Great video Man. I'm from Brazil and I'm a trucker, a virtual simulator trucker, rsrsr. On my computer it' easier than in real life. I love the Americans Cabover because I always saw them in the 70's or 80's movies and wanted to know more about it and why in the USA, the drivers and companies prefers other trucks instead cabover. It's fantastic to see the old and classic trucks running yet. I'm interested in the model of your truck, the windshield is not divided? Is it original? Tell me about your truck, ok?
They were a literal pain in the ass , but they did have their good points- easier to maneuver in tight places, and no hood to obstruct your view in heavy traffic. I kinda miss them.
Love the cabover, and love the rumble of the big Cat more. Can you wind your music down so we can hear the beast please? Nice to see that old girl earning an honest living!
Rewatching your videos of the truck I seen on dying breed that you hit a deer in pa. That sucks! I live in Central pa now but I'm from Erie and canfield radiator was our go to they can fix about anything.
She was towed to Peterbilt in Youngstown and radiator repair will be done in Hubbard Ohio. Not sure if ill get a good enough video out of this but I will try. But next video will be a Dodge Ram V10...
Good Vid, Love the Truck, Are First lock down hear in the UK us, Truck Drivers whernt allowed access to the Tiolets / Facilatys at alot of big customers and some services. witch did change when it was found that they where bracking UK law.
Great vlog, gave your channel a sub. Here inn the UK, we can get loyalty points on he fuel f from the gas station, if that's something that is done in the US, i bet you would have loads of points hehehe.
Sweet cabover, and ahhh yes, the brake check at 7 mountains. Btw, you can get away with 28mph before mr dot bends you over. 😂😂😂 And i cant wait til they're done with that 4 lanes section and the rt 15 to i 99 bypass around Selinsgrove pa. What a waste of time.
This was a good video to give me an idea of the life of a trucker. I liked the views from the trailer mounted cameras. How many gears did you use to get the Peterbuilt up to speed? It was a great sound.
orwell style cabover is still the only "Kings of the road" Come on independants cabover drivers. bring your cabovers back to the streets.America misses them. & as you can see this driver benefits from working his cabover.
3:04 Looks too new. Not joking. 11:12 Theeeeere's the mental hospital! 14:14 Rationing? We never had anything like that. Strange concept. No masks, either. Tourists did come through wearing them though.
I love watching old metal make its living and keep the wheels moving. Always wondered what happens to all the old trucks. I mean, look at Hunt, Swift, Allied and hundreds of others who have at least a thousand trucks out there and an easy fifty thousand in the scrap piles or parked up. I have seen some real tired rigs and then I have seen the ones that just had a out of frame and new trans, and rear gears just to be parked... trust me if I had my way nothing would be out there on the road as a fuel squeezer that barely can get out of its own way. I just don't understand the insurance scams and how they can force us to buy new when old is just as good when maintained. Yeah I have got into trucks that the steering wheel almost made a revolution before it found metal to move but that is not the end of the world. Frame rails are a dime a dozen or the better stuff bolts on. I got into a old off highway hays truck up in alaska where I have lived for most of my life, last half anyway and had the cab break in half.... think about that... over a hundred thousand for a pay load and the cab broke in half. Bad day for me. Those were drove hard and put to bed wet. Those trucks lived their whole life on the Prince of Wales island and have over five million miles on some and the tattle tail speedo was still working if you wound the key. Rain was their only bath and grease was on everything including the seat!! I had to make a living and that was it for me hauling logs and dirt
I know all about inventing parking spaces..lol. i do it or I ll pick a nice spot away from the other trucks..and sooner or later someone comes and parks next to me...sometimes nobody takes up the empty space next to me other times im completely surrounded by trucks..i wake up and I know me and mabe 2 other trucks were there when I parked earlier..lol
We only wear masks when we go into stores. We have been traveling in our motorhome for 3 years. One thing with all the trucks on the road where are the goods they are hauling, not talking heavy talking normal!
