The way that manufacturer has dealt with you is outstanding, big thumbs up to Kaufman. The whole outfit looks very smart and professional Sergei and the additional items and alternations will be most helpful.
Now that looks professional - love the color over the old orange, yellow. You are going to get noticed - you have a great rig that you should be very proud.
Great looking outfit now. Was never a fan of the orange. The color goes great with your truck. The changes you made will come in handy and make a big difference, good job.
Now that's a great looking trailer! Kaufman really stepped up with the new hoses, fittings, & other details. I'll bet you're going to be very happy with it.
Sergei nice rig color! matches pretty good with the Mack. Those fenders on the tractor fender are the ones I want for my truck. Man it really looks cool!
Love the new trailer, especially the flip ramps in the front and the full fenders in the back. I am sure those full fenders in the back will help to keep hauled equipment much cleaner especially in the winter months! Drive safe!
I have been following you for a few weeks now, I was never much of a Mack person. But Sergei with this new gray 55 ton Kaufman trailer spec the way it is combined with this Mack looks really nice and a rig to really be proud of... I really like the extra d-rings and workmanship. As a trucker myself I really respect the way this company has treated you, thumbs up Kaufman... Ride proud driver.....
What a trailer! What a company Kaufman is to allow you a new trailer like that because of a problem with the steel they used. I am sure some steel company is paying for it. Looks so good on the rear of your gray tractor!
Congratulations on your new trailer. That's a toy and a half. Enough D rings to tie down a pool of mercury. I assume you'll be coming through Reno and over Donner Summit on I-80 on your way to NorCal? I used to drive Metro route buses around Tahoe and cutaway ski buses over old Donner Summit, sometimes in the height of winter storms. During blizzard whiteouts, if I could have seen anything, I would have been freaked out.... You'll get a beautiful view pulling your new trailer on black pavement. What could be better? Hope you enjoy the Sierras.
Nice looking rig Uncle Sergei. All the options you got with the new trailer make it so much better than the old one. Kaufman went above and beyond to make things right.
Much better looking trailer. So if we go to Kaufman and order a trailer we can just ask for the "Sergei Special". The color looks good with your truck. Battleship gray or perhaps a little darker. Congrats. You got me wanting one now.
Just a quick thought, all my d-rings are at the top of my trailer but sometimes when i have to tie down some place else and my chains are going over the sharp edge of the trailer i use metal edge protectors under chains to help protect not only the chains but my paint and trailer edge as well. Good luck, safe journey.
Very nice looking trailer Sergei. Kaufman response to your problem has been outstanding, and they have delivered an excellent outcome way beyond what most people would expect. What a great company to deal with. Have a safe trip back.
That is one sharp looking trailer. Looks like a quality built trailer, the welds look very good and the hose routing is very neat. The fenders will help keep the load clean and will make it easier when you haul longer loads but they look like they will be very slippery when wet or snow covered. I wonder if adding rubber belting like you did on your flatbed would be good idea? One last comment, are you adding a permanent "oversize load" sign? You could mount it on the flip axle mounting points, lay flat when not needed and stand up when needed.
Hi Sergei, It was my birthday an you got the present! The world isnt fair.... Congrats to the new one and stay safe and healthy! Greetings from Germany!
Hi Sergei ( Really like your videos very informative ) I'd be happy as a pig in a mud puddle if I was driving this unit GREAT UNIT & NICE COLOR !! you have to finish off your fenders on the tractor to make it complete.!! Just a suggestion you should get a cover for your switches for protection from road salt maybe a little steel box on a hinge that lifts up. Also I sure like all those D rings you just can't have too many with the kind of products you carry and the ones on the top is a nice touch - for forward and back movement of machines . Once again NICE UNIT I'm looking forward to seeing some machines on there.
Congrats on the beautiful new trailer. You will really enjoy the new options that they threw in for your inconvenience. Can't wait for your trip back to California. I love your videos and your sense of humor . Keep up the good work and make a lot of money.
That's one beautiful trailer. Much success with your trailer, i know the video is couple years old however had to wish you best of luck to your heavyweight transport business. Bye
I like the color of your trailer a lot better than the old one. It makes the truck and trailer look fabulous. I did not see where you would store the outrigger boards that you had bought. I see boards on the deck of your trailer. Is that new?
Very nice rig now! This new trailers color matches your truck very well! Are there any videos or photos of how it look with the 4th axle on the trailer?
man that looks nice, just 2 more fenders on drop axle and your done.when you get the time that is. I mean who do you know that has 2 loads waiting and the paints not dry on the trailer yet!!!
xs9887 Well, it's because Dispatch had a week with nothing to do - while i was deadheading 2500 miles with the old trailer from Cali to the Kaufman plant in South Carolina.
As I said before , Its only getting better. Look at your beginning when you barely knew how to throw a strap to were you are now. As a Carrier/Owner Op I'm so proud and have referred you to several people as an example of how to make the business work.. So many "truckers" with all their bullshit insight, and negative comments who either drive for someone else at 40c or are oblivious to quarterly hst, ifta etc. and how to run the admin end of the business Great looking float brother, looking out for ya on the rd. congrats and keep up the good work.....Fuck the nay sayers.... You're doing this better than half the people that were probably born here !!!
Yes it is a beautiful trailer Sergei Kaufman takes care of its customers , it matches your truck very well , have great day and you have two loads lined up which is excellent have a good one till next time !
you think I don't know that? my empty weight is 47000 lb. 60+40+20+12 = 132. deduct 47k and you get 85k maximum payload. in order to go up to 90k payload I need 4th axle flip on the trailer.
Being a Mack fan, I think the truck and the trailer look totally awesome now. I gray "is the new orange." LOL! I see where the flashing lights are on the trailer, but where are they on the tractor? Have a safe trip back to Canada and I'm looking forward to your next video. God Bless, Jeff :-) John 3:16
Hey Sergei...... The new trailer is beautiful. The truck and trailer together have a techno-theme, looks like something out of a Robocop movie. The color of the trailer is called, I believe, "Graphite Grey". So from now on, I guess you've got a "Fifty shades of Grey" going on. Awesome. BTW, in the video, you said something about $10K while walking around the pugs for an extra axle, what was that all about.?? I mean did you have to spend for a replacement??
Красавец!Поздравляю Сергей Михалыч,так сказать с новой опцией,вашего трака.Вместе смотрятся, просто зашибись,супер,крутэбол.Поздравляю.Счастья,здоровья,успехов на необъятных просторах американщины и канадчины .(((((((.
Hello Sergei, I've been watching your videos and ir's really inspiring. I'm in my early 20's I want to have my own Business, you know but I just don't know how to go about it, but the Freight Business really interests me, PLEASE could you give some advice on the way forward Many Thanks.
Love your videos Sergei good job. I think I will do heavy hauling too once I get my license back... Seems like a lot of fun exercise and responsibility. Tell them to give you a Pet 379 :)))
