Always pays to get things done during the night for the delivery in the morning. I do it all the time so I’m not having to deal with unstrapping/unchaining, rolling up tarps, etc the day of when everyone else is delivering and traffic etc. good job.
I like how your fork lift is set up on your front trailer. That’s probably pretty handy to have there to do deliveries whenever no one is there. Nice video sir!
As my father used to say. 'I love work........I could watch someone do it all day'😂😂😂. Great video again Matt! You need to get the night heater sorted tho👍
Yep…..did one yesterday….”loads of room….a truck like yours just delivered here” The truck like mine was a day cab with a 40’ trailer….now I a have to back b trains down a narrow road onto a busy road with a w990…..good times
Just found you my man and you do a good job explaining things on your videos teaching people how to shift 18 talking about how you need need to go through all the gears is the truth I only use maybe ten tops. 2:47 I also don’t have to follow any of the rules you do because we have farm plates run three 35 foot flatbeds with 80,000lbs give or take a ton.
Glad to see another video from ya! Hope everything is going well. Hopefully the bunk heater can get fixed soon. I had the opposite issue a couple years ago in an apartment where the A/C was out during the summer. The hottest it got in my room while trying to sleep was 92 degrees. Good temperatures are definitely conducive to good sleep. I wish you luck with your future deliveries and may they be lucrative ones my friend. Take care.
I got a wonky intersection like that in my city. I like to jump out of my truck, run and hit the crosswalk button, then jump back into the truck to go when the traffic lights turn red.
Dear Matt, once again I saw the Rolls Royce like beauty of your truck, compairing it to our European Cabover trucks. When you walked beside the trailers I saw the inmense size. Can you tell me the total length of the rig, Probably you told it before, but I couldnẗ find it in your videos. Is there a speedlimit in Canada? Our trucks are max 16,5 M, and the speed limit is 80 kmh. In Europe we make the most of the length by using cabocver tractors an nearly no space between the tractor and trailer
Man, your good with those trailers, I don't understand how you back them up, being 2 pivot points, I used to drive dry van, we were always told in truck driving school that you can't back up a set of doubles. I've never seen it done before, but you can get R done. And with a long nose Pete. What Is you're total length ?😊
I always hated using a Moffat. It always felt far too heavy for just the forks to support. I always thought I would end up falling backwards and down, although I never did.
Yeah I had a load of skidded armour stone where the skids were between 7000-10’000lbs, and the moffett is only rated for 5500lbs… I tilted forward a couple times dropping them down it was pretty intense! It was too much for the lift cylinder to bring them up, so it was pop off the trailer and they were coming down and where it sits it sits haha. Had to break the bands on a couple skids and take the stones off one by one to lessen the weight. Man what a day that was!
@blauer2551 I really have no use for one for what I do but at the same time, it'd be nice for specific reasons. I got to a delivery the other day at 10:30 am, backed into the dock, as I was the only truck there, and went inside. After almost 30 minutes, the receiver asked me I'd I wanted to sit in my truck as he wouldn't get to me until atleast 1 pm as he had paperwork to do and then his 1 hour lunch break. I deliver to grocery stores and we have priority as warehouse trucks. I told him no and that I couldn't wait that long as I have other deliveries to make. He eventually called another guy down to receive it but with a Moffat, I could have just unloaded in the driveway and left, lol. The down side would be spending time taking it down and putting it back up at every store. I do 4-8 deliveries a day. Too much work for nothing. I'd just take his stuff back.
I use Google maps for the most part but never trust the route it gives me, always plan my way using satellite view and street view, checking every intersection to make sure my truck can actually go there before setting out
My name is Call The Mall. Little 2007 me created it on a whim way back when I started this channel, thinking “you can’t call the mall, you can call the stores within the mall, but you can’t actually call the mall itself.” (Turns out you totally can)... Haha.
