Trucker Reacts to Trucking Scenes from Movies 

I would like to hear more of the trucker stories of stuff that have seen

@@bonnome2 statistically speaking, someone at some point will run over an ancient Chinese wizard.

Can we get engine builders watching the videos of people from india rebuilding engines in the backyard

Hey Donut, why you didnt tell us about this channell in the main one?? :/

Farmers :3

As a guy who drives any/everything, I was also insulted. Just yesterday saw a YT of why they were phased out.

Also kinda wished they touched upon headache racks for the final destination one. Cause that can happen just as easily to send it forward as it is to fall off.

Well, if they all go electric, there's no need for the big old engine bay (nose) anymore. The batteries are in the chassis, and the motors are on the wheels. Cabovers would make perfect sense for better visibility and maneuvering.

I know right? we're gonna need them more than ever since Canada is now allowing 60ft trailers

Meanwhile in Europe XD

yeah Cabover is the common phrase I hear

I call em a COE

Came here to say exactly that. My dream is a 53 COE slammed on an 80s 1ton frame.....

​@@ryurc3033 you've just described one of my dream rides.

Yup that's the right term

In one try, no less!

9 wheels

Incorrect. It was only five wheels on the ground.

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper Saw that,inside duals were in the air.

italian stunt driver Holer Togni used to drive semis on half wheels on his shows

🫂

This is so comforting

It would be concerning to see a 10-4 on the log truck 😂😂 but I've seen a log truck spill before and yeah they don't bounce thankfully

Corridor Crew reviews the realism of this scene in one of their CGI episodes.

Came here to say this, but it would still wreck your day pretty hard if your car hit one.

yea but a 2 ton log falling off a truck at highway speed infront of your car is still going to fuck your day up hard core

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest in the 70s, and the backroads were lousy with log trucks. The biggest problem was that the loads would shift and unbalance the whole rig, causing rollovers. We were taught to give them about 100 yards on the forest roads, particularly when there were turns.

Corridor Crew feat. Donut Media!

Great idea for a livestream event.

@@leeboss6631 came here to say the same

My guess is they filmed at different times to accommodate schedules

@@leeboss6631 ew

I was gonna say, I know they make those trucks to last but not that well. Even the Harley they jumped with Arnold was toast after that drop

Yes the steer axel was broke! They either fixed it or used a different truck to continue filming

thank you. did no one notice the passenger wheel after it hit the ground

The “behind the scenes” shows this truck being destroyed, and models + practical FX were used to complete the scene. This was a “Hollywood back down”.

Also, didn't the windshield come out when it hit? Then T1000 had to push out the NES one after it went under the next bridge

Wish I read your comment, before I started bitching.

I believe the term “blower” came from those two stroke superchargers.

Not to mention that basically all vehicular scenes were done practically. With functional vehicles. They didn't just composite a dude jumping a motorcycle over a CGI semi and render it in the desert. They went to the desert and jumped a motorcycle over a semi.

I also don't think any of the cars in Mad Max world would be stock.

@@kevinmitchell766 yeah, that plow is probably aftermarket

Don’t forget the best of them all, Duel (1971)

@@Headshot51423 thanks for reminding me. I added it to the list.

Do you mean High Ballin?

@@mikeholland1031 thanks for the correction.

Yeah I feel like some better choices could have been made as far as movies go for this list.

If you pay close attention that's not even a real "Logging truck" it was what looked like an old military truck with a normal ass flatbed.

@@erika_itsumi5141 Its not even a normal flatbed either! I drive regional flatbed and if you look closely, you'll see it has a reefer fuel tank underneath. Looks like they got an old reefer trailer, cut the top off, and threw some fake ass logs on top lol

I was going to say that there were supercharged detroits. Love the sound of a detroit

Supercharged cummins engines aswell

Most roots style blowers are classified by the size Detroit Diesel they would have come on Ex. 671 blower would have come on a 6v71 Detroit Diesel (V6 with 71 cubic inches per cylinder)

@@juliovaldez6310 from 1 to 24 cylinders most older detroits made before the series 60 minus a select few were 2 strokes with blowers

I used to drive a DD5. Awesome little engine. :)

If you say some shit like that, you've got to elaborate a bit more about _which_ explanations were "dangerous", my guy. Otherwise you just look like a dick.

technically, 5 wheels, but whatever. still funny

​@@DavidLinngood point. Only the outside tires actually touched the ground

@@DavidLinn That's why it took him half a second to say 9.

its also a very great movie. watch it if you havent.

​@Chuggaacola I'm actually surprised they didn't add that movie on the list. Alot Of real and fake moments in that movie to choose from.

Black Dog is also a beer

@@justayoutuber1906 I thought the beer brand was Red Dog. My uncle drank the stuff and gave me a logo poster when I was 10.

Black dog isnt just a legend being overly tired does some crap to your head space. And yes You will see it. Laugh all you want about it.

😂

If you are a trucker than you know none of them are experts. Piss jugs are DOT regulated... bullshit, not one knew the Terminator truck is a cabover, these "experts" are just steering wheel holders

Came here looking for a comment about those old detroits

Yeah that's what I thought, that the force of the impact of the truck landing from that height would basically destroy the whole front end - the entire steering and front suspension collapsed, the chassis bent upwards like a banana, the engine and even cab itself ripped from their mounts. Another thing that's often bugged me about that scene is the windshield that pops out from the bridge jump, then later on when the truck's roof is sheared clean off after passing under the low bridge, it magically reappears and the T1000 pushes out the driver's side to get a clear view

@@seanwebb995 when the truck is approaching the low bridge before it hits it, you can see the pre cuts at the roofline from the interior shot. You can see daylight through the cuts to make it shear off easier. They just used 2 trucks, one wrecked for the jump and the other prepped for chop top

This definitely needs to happen!

Some need to pin this comment to the top, this is golden idea, would be a banger of video

@@agentholmes369 I can see Justin wrenching on the engine while Adam is trying to persuade him that they should totally go to this sketchy circus that happens to be visiting the same where-the-hell-are-we town in Nebraska.

Trust me, Trucking is boring - like a road trip with your folks, but you don't get to go to a park in the end.

He was the absolute KING of movie stunts in those days :) And all 100% real, no CGI back then!

Rémy Julienne's stunt team made the best driving stunts back in the day, they were in very high demand in the movie industry. Absolute masters with their craft, driving skills and scene designing. They worked on multiple 007-movies, French Taxi-movies + countless other French movies, original The Italian Job, The Da Vinci Code. His sons also work on the company, it being family run business of stunt drivers for movies, and they have worked on modern stuff.

You can thank Kenworth for the wheelie truck, my uncle who used to work as an engineer for KW at that time told me about the wheelie truck. The rear tire sets had separate brakes so that the truck could be "steered" for the shot.

@@waynegibbons352 And, you could tell the frame was cut and had a hydraulic lift. When the cab came down, the rear drives were up in the air. I laughed my butt off.

The fact that the truck actually existed as well lends credibility. All the vehicles were actual built vehicles that ran

Normal semi trucks today don't, but older trucks that used the older 2 Stroke Detroit Diesels and some of the older Cummins were supercharged.

@@Corky3D But they didn't have throttle plates. Diesels don't need throttle plates. Now, if it was a ram air bypass for the air cleaner and the plates just close it off to avoid sucking dirt....

@@mfree80286 Right, it's probably for looks or like you said to close it off to keep it from sucking dirt. Blastolene's Piss'd Off Pete has the blower hats, but he has the throttle plates open. You can see it here on RU-vid on Jay Leno's Garage. It has a 12V71 in it.

I think they used one LS with a supercharger and the other is a dummy engine. Some behind the scenes mentioned that they had issues where the war rig got stuck constantly.

Indeed!

Lol it was one of the guys not all of them, relax

Lol those are drivers of trucks. Not truck drivers. Haha

Nobody said they're experts, they're truck DRIVERS. How can one be an expert in truck driving?

No modern cab over trucks in the US, its more of a European thing due to length regulations

Don't know what the date of License to Kill has to do with CGI. First big movie to use CGI was in 1973. Original Star Wars used CGI in the late 70s. CGI was first used in a music video in 1985. Not even counting for CGI(which WAS around well before 1988), there could be things used to prop/hold the tractor and trailer that way, and hid by camera position and angle.

​@@billybob4274 Starwars was all minitures, just add some lasers, explosions and the lightsabres, only cgi was the targeting screens and the hologram of the 2nd deathstar, rest most of it could of been overlayed in post

​@@billybob4274 I believe the stunt team made a pivot and used hydraulics to raise the cab.

@@NemesisRTCW you can see the ramp he drove up to tilt the vehicle.

@@billybob4274 i mean, if you just think how computer where back then, you will have your answer about this stuff being made for real.

Is Jobe that cute in person

@@ethanmatthews7725 absolutely

Your two’s energy was great! Need you back on again right away!

​@@darrylransier7231 don't be thirsty bud.

Danae you are so truckin’ cool, can I get your autograph?

What happens next in the clip is dale shoots his way out of the trailer and him, boomhauer, and bill spill out in nothing but their underwear 😂

That episode is one of my favorites!

Keeping Producer Tony’s dream alive!! Lol :)

the Detroit diesels, but it wasn't for low rpm, it was because the thing was a 2 stroke and needed the supercharger to have a positive pressure in the air inlet ports so when they opened up the fresh air would push out the old exhaust gas. they had 4 valves per cylinder but they were all exhaust only. fun fact :)

The mad max war rig actually used an air cooled engine and started life as a Czech Tatra 6x6. The truck is powered by this engine but is dressed to look like it has 2 supercharged engines, they are fiberglass covers. One covers the air-cooled engine and the other is an empty shell.

​@@MilesPrower69420that's really interesting, I just assumed all 2-strokes worked like a weed whacker and shoved intake air in from underneath the piston. Lol

yeah but it wrecked his wheel alignment that trucks going to need a wheel alignment now🤣

I knew I could not have been the only one thinking it was not on nine wheels, but five lmao

I was about to say the same thing. I've never had a piss jug regulation from a state trooper.

Its not regulated specifically for truckers as in DOT regs, but some states have passed laws that you get additional fines for littering if its a pee bottle.

Yeah, there's no regulation on peeing in bottles. There are some states with punishments for leaving them on the side of the road though, as in policies that specifically target trucking and pee jugs, in addition to the fine for littering. I think I questioned whether or not these people were actually truckers several times in the video...

@@eugenePerryMB Ditto. They may be steering wheel holders, not real drivers.

it's probably California rules

i would totally truck with Jeremiah

More like 9/10. Didn’t discuss Smokey and the Bandit.

I was hoping for smokey and the bandit too!! 😭 maybe next time

Black Dog as well hopefully

As far as driving underneath a trailer, car would have to be extremely short. Like Lamborghini Huracan short. And even then, probably not. There are air lines running under there plus all the cross members. Not as much space as people think. You'd need a HELLA short car to actually fit underneath a van trailer without touching.

@@jamesstemmler7620 thanks for the insight!

Something like a logging trailer tends to have more clearance in the middle. The regular van or box trailers are usually pretty open in the middle, but also not high enough. For the movies they add a big spacer that lifts the trailer quite a bit higher than normal.

you can, American Truck on the Speed Channel did it with stops and a breakdown

Well it’s ten and a half hours by car, according to Google Maps. Definitely slower by truck but not by much. Assuming you get loaded and have a full Hours of Service clock, you could make it roughly 90% of the way there before running out of time on your first shift, then a ten hour break, then finish the trip in the morning after. So a ten hour run on day one, ten hours of mandatory rest, then maybe 2-3 hours to finish the run. Definitely doable in under 28 hours barring major setbacks. Plus, you got the choice of two routes, either go south to Shreveport first and then run straight over I-20, or go up to Memphis and then come back down from there, they’re both approximately equal time frames.

Brian Reagan is hilarious. A flock of moosen!

As someone from rural Oregon, I cant tell you how accurate that joke is, lol.

My grand father told me about the black dog They had a saying its the devil of the road riding with u 😂 idk how true it is

That had a reinforced front bumper and a very skilled stunt driver. All the crashes were real.

Hear fuckin hear

Yeah it actually opens up questions you wouldn't think about otherwise. Like women needing to pee in the truck, that must really suck lmao I'm sure they use some sort of device tho

​@@GlorifiedGremlin haha bring a funnel. The original Vacation movie mentions this. Lol

yeah me too

"European truck" would also have been been okay since they're the norm over here (I only see an American-style truck maybe once or twice a year...) due to the narrower streets and such.

because they are not experts, just young steering wheel holders

I used to haul coils. If the shipper says 5 chains, I'd put 6...sometimes 7. My mantra is, "I've never lost a load. I'm not starting today." Same with pipe. Now I haul dry bulk. You don't have to tarp a tank.

Yea, whoever said that’s realistic is high. As they said in the video there are metal bars which are a part of the trailer; basically impossble to bend one of them, let alone all of them and even more difficult to straight up break one. And secondly; as you said, they wouldn’t bounce. Got into a discussion about this a while ago and someone said “well yea, but they can slide off” and I told him to go out and find two longs that he can pick up and try to slide them on top of each other then multiply the force you needed to move those by about 10,000 and that’s the force you would need to slide those big ass logs. And it’s correct that chains can break or come loose and you need one for every 10’ of cargo with a minimum of 2… which means if one does break or come loose then you’ve got another one holding everything back. So there’s like 5 full steps of “not gonna happen” lol

It wouldn't have even done that. The truck is carrying 20 logs plus the weight of the truck and not sinking into the asphalt. It would have fallen off and kept sliding down the road at the same speed it was going before falling off. It's more of a hazard to oncoming traffic than the people behind the truck. I had a extention ladder fly off the truck in front of me doing 60mph. It flipped straight up and over and landed right in front of me. I immediately hit the brakes and then let off as I watched watched it slide down the highway for probably an eighth of a mile before slowly coming to a stop in the median. That was like a 30 pound ladder. A 2-ton+ tree would carry much more momentum and slide much farther down the road.

@@travispoulin252 you’re forgetting about weight distribution and friction. The same reason a fully loaded truck stops faster than an empty one, this log would 100% not slide anywhere close to an 1/8th mile… it wouldn’t slide very far, if at all, just because of how much friction there is with the road’s surface. And since logs are round it’s contact patch with the road would be like an inch or two wide and depending on how it falls it may only be a few inches/feet long as well, combine it with the speed it’s going and that’s it’s relatively hard (compared to wheel’s rubber) it’ll certainly tear tf out of the asphalt, I don’t think it would go in like a spear and embed itself but it would certainly do some damage.

also that movie is in Australia, "Road Trains" are F***ing nuts lol

Also, Mad Max is all about customizing vehicles with whatever parts you can find. Love how the throttle plate closes while sand is covering the engine, then opens back up when they raise the plow and hit the gas.

All the 2 stroke detroits had blowers. They weren’t for adding power, it was to provide positive pressure to evacuate the cylinder so the engine could run right. The blowers were sized to match the engine. So, something like a 6-71 blower was for a 6 cylinder with 71 cubic inches per cylinder.

@@NBSV1 I was really hoping someone would come along with more knowledge than me! Correct away! While maybe not meant to do what a traditional supercharger would do for an engine Id still say that counts as a supercharged engine.

Detroit series 2 stroke did use roots superchargers and turbos
