Watch this one to the end! I'm back from Italy and excited to be back trucking again! In this episode I take the new T800 on it's maiden voyage hauling materials.
Mike, I’m glad y’all had a good time in Italy. I’ll check out that video. I haven’t had a chance to. Sorry your pinstriping got flaked out. But that’s artist they do that.😂😂😂
Love the channel. I used to run MA a lot Tewksbury, Lawrence, Shrewsburg, Woburn, Wilmington, Fitchburg out of Reading Pa. Now I’m just local & Jockeying
Ah yes, rattles, backwards airlines, and sagging trailer lines, all part of the new truck experience lol. Usually takes me 1-2 weeks to sort out a new truck, but once the details are sorted, man they're sweet!
Watched it to the end! That T800 is AWESOME! You are AWESOME too! Going to Italy would be incredible, I'm sure thanks for sharing your experiences and taking us along... Be safe can't wait for your GEARJAMMER coverage.
Hey Mike, Looking forward to seeing you and the new ride this weekend. I haven’t been following the post on the new ride for little while wanted to see this beauty and all your ideas in person. Se you at the show!!!
We took vacation in the early day's, at every truck show 🤣 many vacations during the year 👍 same here nobody drives my truck and when it's in the shop it's not out of my sight, I stand at the door and sometimes you get a good mechanic and he explains everything he's doing and what waa wrong, that's how I learned to work on it. Safe travels buddy thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇲
Great video mike enjoyed seeing the pics of Italy just keep up the great videos don't worry about nobody else what the heck with the negative comments Anthony's doing the right thing looking forward to seeing you in that new w900 yee haw!!!
I worked for years on a small tight board. 7 trucks. I was senior driver and 2 drivers who had the same experience as myself were really touchy about thier trucks being used when they were on vacation. We were all about 57 year's old and the one would schedule his truck for a pm and whatever it needed at our main shop and HQ whenever he was on vacation and the other just made the "" decree "" that nobody's driving my truck whilst I'm away. Well, you're not the owner of the trucks and if either one was needed for a driver who broke down... Yeah, as long as you topped it off and didn't leave garbage in it? I'm fine with you driving the truck. As someone once said, "" Team Work""-- Makes the dream work""! Safe travels and blessings. Shalom.
Hey Boston trucker how are you doing today my friend so how's your trip to Italy and Spain and I love watching our videos they are very educational videos and keep up the good work and hopefully we will see you in your new truck soon
Why does it matter your senior driver there. The owner respects your opinion and wants your input on the truck. He also knows that you will take care of it and not trash it. Glad to see the new trucks
I've never been on a cruise, but I've always wanted to try a cruise like that. Seems like a good way to see the mediterranean. 800 is a nice truck, even with a school bus transmission lol. They're the right mix of areo and bulk with a touch of old school. You were just working out the kinks for the new driver. would have been a bigger pain to come back after 1 month and a half and have the air lines backwards.
Good for you and your wife for paying for college. We don’t have a student loan crisis, we have a parenting crisis. My kids are 6&7 and they each have a decent chunk of money in their 529 accounts. $300 a month invested adds up very quick. It doesn’t take much. Unfortunately, most parents park their kids college fund in the driveway.
Someone else has to drive your truck you usually have binding gears and the clutch doesn't feel right (takes couple of hours to feel it back) and have to readjust your seat,,,😅 Thanks Mike,!
There's ALWAYS one...... unfortunately.....smh.....you'd really had a beast if you'd gone with a 2050tq👍🏻👍🏻,.....I heard that Eaton not gonna offer the 18spd anymore in a 1850tq....2050 only....🤷🏻♂️......love my 2050👍🏻👍🏻....lookin' forward to next vid
Do you think about the exposure that caudillo has now because of you doing those videos you've expanded his business and I'm sure they appreciated that's why they take good care of you
How many cars did you almost rearend from the Allison automatic lurch 😂 Stopped at a light, you either put it in neutral or make sure you have your foot on the brake firmly. Its the automatic that makes the truck rattle the 4700 Western Star I drove same thing. Once you get on the throttle, the rattling subsides. Yep Anthony made you the guinea pig he'd know he'd hear the complaint list on the T800 😂
Yup- I watched till the end. I usually do. With my own channel I look at stats and such and know it helps. But...how can one NOT watch till the end of one of Mikes??? Haha! Yes- we had some crybabys at the last place I worked (32 1/2 years) who whined when the MECHANICS ran their truck!! To test work that was just done! Oh well, you're very fortunate Mike to work where you do. Auto-shift??....ehhhhh.......
Hey Mike.....your commenter evidently doesn't know how small companies and some larger ones work. New truck 90% of the time will be test driven by an older, experienced and trusted driver to be checked for problems and defects. Great job and now get back to work and quit slackin. HAHAHAHA
Mike, there’s always a clown or two that has to throw out their stupid opinion based on their stupid thought. They don’t have a clue which they keep their mouth shut.👍👍👍
