Ride along as we head up to Montana in our straight piped Peterbilt 389 with a wagon full of corn!!! Make sure to like, comment, subscribe and stay tuned for more content c'mon!
I never am amazed by peoples power of thinking that if they know how to drive a car . It could be same with a truck . Acoustics of a car is for domestic short trips , therefore a truck especially is a custom machine designed for the comfort and its quality that it provides. Normal person drives for commuting to work or some place . A trucker drives it for posibly every waking second of his professional carrier. Driving a car is not same as driving a truck , hence driving a volvo or cascadia is nothing a like as a peterbilt .
Another amazing video for me a man can you please see if you can do more like this one oh my ASMR style and without the cuts because I love hearing the buzzer as well and see if you can do some really hard acceleration and lots of Jake Burton because that’s my favorite stay safe man and have a blessed one
@@High_Roller_2.0 that’s a big 10 four I’ve got a copy Tony keep the Sunnyside up Riverside down and also keep the hammer down and watch out for them. Smokey bears 10 four
Ah, this brings back memories driving up from golden, Co to Kalispell with a beer loads in the winter. I would stop at Common Cents for my DOT 30 and get the breakfast burritos. Two things I miss, a manual transmission truck and driving in Montana.
That peterbilt 389 semi truck is singing like music to your ears when the turbo whistles sounds awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
my dad is a company driver and he tells me that being a truck driver isn't something he thinks I should be wanting to do, can I ask you? does being a truck driver come with a lot more bullshit, or is it as cool as it looks
It aint for everyone, that's for sure. It's more of a lifestyle than a job once you get out here. If i could give one piece of advice if you do it find a good mom and pop operation dont let these mega carriers continue to ruin the industry and if you do get in a truck,, just keep the old school ways alive and be a truck driver, not a steering wheel holder 🤘
I have a question because I know nothing about the trucking business. Why do all the big trucks like this all seem to have a seat that sits lower than the top of the steering wheel? Is it just me or is that mostly true?
Turning on neutral is something they tell me NEVER to do in my courses, that is call an 'out of control turn' here in Canada. such a dumb thing in my opinion as to me there is no lost of control, but what do I know I'm just an apprentice.
Do whatever your instructors tell you to get your license. But once you’re on your own you’ll see this isn’t that dangerous. This is a low speed Manuever, he’s not going so fast that the brakes can’t stop him if he needs to stop. Making low speed turns from stop such as merging into the freeway can be safely done in neutral and once you’re away from testing officials and instructors this is what you will wind up doing. Yes I am both a professional driver and was once a Washington state certified CDL instructor. If I was training you I want you to never take the turn on neutral because my job is to get you to pass the test to get your license and the state says don’t do that. When I’m hauling loads as a driver with a stick shift truck I always take these turns on neutral because it’s easier and smoother
I use Google maps mostly for just the eta arrival time amd it's nice to zoom in and look at the lot if it's some place new to see what your dealing with 🤘
@@High_Roller_2.0 Plastic? It seems you are confused and reversing the factual state of affairs. I’ve been to the states, crossed it several times and believe me when I say US trucks are weak, has bad handling, bad breaks, poorly designed tractor/trailer interaction, and are all in all, antiquated. You guys are in many ways experiencing what the Soviet Union went through regarding their technology in the last decades of their life. An inability to learn from others in the misguided belief that it would somehow would be unpatriotic.
@Uhmm485 🤣 has nothing to do with the inability to learn from others by anymeans yall have some good tech in your trucks yes the difference is we like the old trucks not out here because the money's good not out here to drive a computer on wheels, out here because it's what our fathers and grandfather's did. This is why we all love our old pete hoods and W9's if I wanted comfort, I wouldn't be driving truck.
@@High_Roller_2.0 Ain’t nothing wrong with that. It’s just the US truckers I saw in Alaska just seemed a bit cold and watching those big long nosed rigs struggling across, over, and down, Colorado, California and Washington on my travels, well, it just seemed a bit too hard. Don’t get me wrong, we like our vintage trucks too, but everyday work doesn’t have to be a struggle. That said, I’m looking forward to ride down from border to border, Canada to Mexico yet another time. Cheers
C15’s don’t have any emissions on them. Caterpillar quit making diesel engines for heavy duty trucks back in 2013 because they weren’t interested in making engines designed to fail every other day of the week. So really they pulled outta the game before emissions became heavy.
Bonjour, j’ai adoré cette petite virée, mais dit moi mon ami tu n’attache pas ta ceinture de sécurité ? Ce n’ai pas obligatoire ?en Amérique ?😊😊 allé je te laisse bye
Hi there, don‘t get me wrong, but it seems to be very dangerous behavior not having Both hands at your steering Wheel. If a tire will blow up, you won‘t have a Chance to keep Control of you Truck , this I put in your comments because I already had this experience. I wish you all the best and always a Safe Trip. Kind regards from Germany
I’ve had a steer tire blowout before while shifting and so only one hand on the wheel, and it was on the freeway at… I’ll estimate 90km/h since you’re European, and it wasn’t a big deal. I’ll admit I’ve never driven a European cab over tractor, maybe steer blowouts are worse because there’s more weight on the axle, versus a conventional tractor in the US with its longer nose and different weight configuration, but for the most part a steer blowout isn’t going to lead to a dramatic loss of control unless the driver panics and applies brake. If you lose a steer and maintain the same speed you’ll usually overcome it then pull over
How about 2 hands on the wheel and only touch the gear lever when you need to change gears? If you were being tested for your CDL and you drove like that, you would fail!!
Like the seatbelt is gonna keep you from magically dying when crashing a 80,000lbs+ truck at 75mph. At that point it’s up to God whether you live or die. Ain’t no seatbelts gonna save ur life
