As a 22 year veteran of the construction business, I can confirm this video is 100% authentic and accurate. I worked in trucks like this for many years. Now I have trucks like this my guys work out of
@@jonesfarm1836 Company vehicles are different. But still usually dirty. My company van is well organized, but if you wipe your hand on the shelf it'll be dirty as hell lol
@@1yearoldiam if you can tell a random person where something is ans they can find it in under 30 seconds ya golden! If they have to dig through shit for 20 minutes, well thata your job and send them off to do something else.
My first boss had a mid 90s crew cab f150 that was given to me for my work truck. He paid me a full day to clean it out, and i thought hell yea ill spend an hour or two cleaning and get paid to f off for the rest of the day. Nope. 8 and 1/2 hours. The back seat alone was literally garbage and crap all the way up level with the front bench seat. I did find a brand new Hitachi framing nailer he thought someone swiped from the jobsite 🤣
reminds me of buying my truck. my buddy "cleaned it out for me" and I still pulled two contractor bags of shit from it. Probably vacuumed up a whole pouch of rolling tobacco, and I found three tall boy cans jammed in the spare tire tool compartment.
The amount of things "stolen" from work trucks greatly exceeds the value of the items carried in said work trucks, namely because the same items get "stolen" theee times a week.
You can tell Miles definitely has worked in the trades. I can confirm that not only is this video accurate but all of his construction videos are 100% accurate. I even call my apprentice tacklebox. Why? Because on his first day he tripped over a tacklebox. 😂
@@MelancholyRequiem they’re notorious for that shit lmao. Found a roofing nail an inch beside my tire when I pulled in the other day….. we haven’t even had roofing repairs to my knowledge…..
Good point, I once drove a farm truck and every time I got in I thought the thing was going to crumble. A lot of bailing twine was keeping it together! Truck ran so well though and it lasted the summer and 30 years later maybe it’s still running😂😂😂. Farm trucks may give construction trucks a run for their money
I saw a large monkey wrench welded to the rear bumper of a work truck, at an angle.It looked like it was just sitting on bumper and could fall off at any time, so other drivers would not follow so closely.
As a wife of a contractor I can testify to the accuracy of this video. I'm prepared to clean out last weeks lunch and job notes just to ride front (plus all four cup holders too) how much does one guy need??, back seat has to be cleared of his tool box for kids to ride, of course floor is full so knees bent is a given. Bed has any given item/tool you might need on quick stand by which is convenient in any situation. Love the construction truck and I don't even do construction👍
Same here, I like to clean out the cans and shit every once in a while just to get some brownie points from boss man. Gotta make sure he’s watching too
I have a customer who owns a construction company. He spent about $40k in my shop having a super duty customized. The truck was gorgeous. Custom paint, custom upholstery, custom wheels. About a week later the back seat looled exactly like your ol chevy there.
After seeing your shirt I bought a "good enough"shirts for each of my 2 best workers, and a "you"ll have that" for myself. I love shirts in S.Y. like the ones sold and made by workers on big sites. Sneaking "i dont have the time or crayons" in the mix is awesome. It'll be a great addition.
We have a 2002.5 Chevy Duramax with every light going off and dead gauges that looks exactly like this. It’s pulled 6 tons almost every day of its life and bellows white smoke at an idle. 300,000 miles later and she’s still going strong getting 17 to the gallon filling up every 200 miles, which is recorded with a phone. Can’t get rid of it because it’s been too reliable to sell.
As the son of a construction worker and been working with him for 4 years and now getting into plumbing I understand and apply this vehicles traits to my every day life
Little tip for the passenger side garbage. Put a half bucket over there to catch all the garbage and then at the end of the week it's really easy to clean up.
LOL this reminds me of the Concrete Pump Truck I use to run I had my tools pretty tucked away but also always carried a 30 pack of beer in the side box for those you know 2 day jobs on the same job site.
Two stories! My Work Van is Cleaner and More Organized than my personal truck?!?! I Have a Friend of mine that pretty much Lives Out of his truck do To Work Schedule!!! When it's time to Clean Out the Passenger side?!?! He Finds a Secluded Area on a Windy Day and Opens Both Doors! 5-10 Minutes Kater?!? All the Trash Seems to Disappear!!! I Work Construction!!! Great Video
The shovel is your free ticket to extra breaks. Hold it with the working end in the ground and stare down at the ground, bought yourself an extra 5 minutes at least 10 times a day
If you get a critter under your back seat happy to live off of fallen Cheetos and french fries then its a keeper as long as its willing to bite because that's just an antitheft device for anybody somehow enticed by your crumpled truck bed, folded door, and mismatched wheels. If your ride can't feature on the Just Rolled In RU-vid channel, then you just aren't busy/productive enough.
I run my own construction business and my truck looks like that most of the time. Also reading through the comments there are extras like spare toilet paper, random tape, tire patch kit cause of course you're gonna have flats constantly. Maybe the next episode should be on the inevitable moment when you need your truck for something else and you have to dump everything out in 5 minutes panic mode.
We had a early 2000s gmc 2500 with a service bed on it, thing had the 8.1 l engine. It also had a leaking heater core and all the windows would fog up bad. Regular cab, 3 guys in it all smoking wearing winter gear . Stop and go traffic across Ottawa . Good times
Did concrete footings for 4 years and funny enough with my boss it was the exact opposite. I can't believe in a job where day in day out I am getting coated in concrete how clean he wanted those trucks. Legitimately the most clean construction trucks I've ever seen. Anytime we'd stop by the wall company we subbed for though this is exactly how their trucks were. To a tee.
I gotta laugh at the first aid cubby. My buddy and I don't work with insurance so we've upgraded that a little. Stitches 101 and back to work. All jokes aside I think a suture kit is a must in a work truck. I've been in some way out places and a stitch job can save a limb where a tourniquet could save your life but cost you that limb.
Used to drive an 87 suburban for home builder I left some muriatic acid in the truck over night with a not to secure lid. Everything was rusty the next morning and transformed an ok work truck into a great work truck
