I run 60,000lbs out of Longview several times a week. It’s not that big a deal. It helps to know the road and where to slow down for the rough spots. Running it regularly, you learn where the deer and elk hang out. Traffic wise, it’s not bad in the early morning hours. Camper season takes some of the fun out of it, but it’s a living. The views are spectacular!
HES ALIVE!! On another notei ran over chinook pass (which im pretty sure is illegal for a cmv) on a sunday with my pete and hit the jakes for about 10 miles straight on the other side headed to seattle. Running with my logger off on a tight deadline. Always makes for a fun ride when youre pushing the limit. Those pipes sound great btw. Glad you moved your hookup date up.
20:31 I am always listening to music when im driving. But just last week I started listening to podcast while I was driving and damn what a game changer. Neat to see you listening to PBD as well. Longggg hours in the log truck, 1:30 AM to 4 PM most days so i have A LOT of listening time. Keep up the good work man, always fun seeing you out there.
I have hogebuilt half fenders with their mounts and they have been nothing but trouble! I wish I would've went with the blind mounts on the front like you did. Both front mounts have broke, which dicked up my fenders. I have those same rear brackets and I'm sure they're next. Looking forward to seeing the mounts you have coming.
Bro, sometimes it's hard to watch your vids because it makes me turn on my ats rig, and then I'm tired for work because hours pass in no time at all.😂 But I appreciate the grind, my guy 💯
I almost forgot you got dummy stacks lol It sounds so badass bro! That pass gave me PTSD from when I was on hwy 191 from helper, UT to duchesne, UT 48k tote hazmat 😂 It was snowing and we were stuck uphill on an 8% grade 😂
Awesome video 📹 👏 glad your posting 📫 again it's been a while 😂, I'd do that route just for the scenery it's beautiful,it's nothing for a professional 🚚🚚🚚🚚 driver like yourself, great camera 📷 angle on Highway 12, it keeps you sharp, all that effort for that tiny little piece at first drop 😅it must take a while when they u load you with overhead cranes, when you strapped the wood down did I catch you giving it half a twist to help prevent flapping,
Walmart runs a lot of trucks through there, but those guys are hauling relatively light with automatics. Heavy with a stick I wouldn't bother, especially if it's my truck and fuel bill. Mostly log trucks otherwise, and no cell reception for long stretches either. Wintertime don't even think about it.
Nice truck bro. Been seeing you on I5 finally found your channel. You should try those i29 custom bracket for fenders I have them on my w9 past 6 months they're pretty sturdy.
Hwy 12 wouldn’t be my first choice. Especially over White Pass. Back in the 80’s I hauled lumber from the Champion mill in Morton to a Tacoma mill via Hwy 7. I got my driver side mirror taken off by a log truck on a narrow bridge on Hwy 7.
Love the videos and the rig! Just wondering if there's a reason you loop the chains around the stake pocket, as opposed to looping it thru and hooking on the stake pocket itself? Always looking to improve my chain techniques
@@ayjizzel congratulations! Just keep running to get hired on to a flatbed company that will give you a shot. Don’t focus on the money just focus on the experience! 🫡
Hey @trucking4racecars where did you get the block off plate that hides the bottom of your dummy stacks so people don’t know that you have dummy stacks? I want to get a set. It’s that plate that goes around the exhaust and hides the underneath area so people can’t see if you have a dummy stack or not.. appreciate it if you have time to respond.
I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, but grinding and welding in flip flops is defiantly crazy work. I mean at least protect your eyes bud.
