Whats up guys!?! Thanks for checking out our channel! We are a couple of old school truckers that hit the road as a husband and wife team in 2021 after spending the prior 5 years away from the steering wheel doing a desk job managing a trucking fleet at FedEx Ground. We started our journey with a million mile truck and grew our business into a small fleet despite the challenges 2022 brought the industry - join us and see how this all plays out for us and our family...

Truck Wash Mention (not shown due to time constraints of video): We spent 1.5 hours there in total. At first they wanted to spray Meguiars spray wax on the parts missed to clean them which I declined since I had just paid to get it all polished and didnt feel them spraying wax on dirt and road grine and then wiping with a microfiber was the best choice. So we waited in line nearly an hour for a...

Hopefully this freight game gets back better cause I’ve been in some real Roid Rage mess with these brokers and dispatchers 😂😂 But Ride safe and keep that Machine clean and tell hubby we want some more of them Mechanic Videos 🫡🍻🚛🚛💨💨🤘🏾
Check the front spring bushings, the pop is usually the spring sliding on the bushing that's pressed into the spring when it loosens up.
They’re new, ever since done can’t get them to quit. I think they just need grease.
I don’t think Martin is ever ever going to get tired working on these trucks.😝
There is a lot of money in hauling manure and you live in an area where there is a lot of manure to be hauled. It is not everyday work, more seasonal. Just a thought.
Martan you know what takes oil off the drive way I just found out by accident is royal oak lighter fluid for the barbecue I changed the oil in my truck Saturday and for got to take the lid off lighter fluid kicks ass on motor oil
I love watching your channel until you speed up the video and we are driving through interesting towns at 150 mph. They are a part of Americana that I really enjoy watching. I want to see the mountains, deserts, rivers and towns as you drive across America.
Is it some sort of design flaw that my 2016 579 has a loose bumper on the drivers side too?😂😂 I blame the NorCal roads, I run from Sacramento to Salinas/Santa Cruz area, or sac to San Jose area.
lol yeah probably the rough roads.
I bought an EcoFlow Wave 2 two weeks ago and I have a hard time cooling my truck since I don’t put the shades up and it takes power through the inverter which generates heat when running the ac. The battery pack is on back order so for now I hook the ac to some spare 12v batteries I also set the vent to the sleeper window so I don’t need to set the tubes up every time I use it I just slide the window and that’s it. I am planning to upgrade the battery bank to extend the run time and hope it runs cooler when the battery pack arrives too
I don’t know anything on those units but did see some reviews saying the cooling isn’t great out of them, hopefully you can get it figured out and working for you! I don’t know if they offer a money back but maybe look into that if it’s not working out.
@@TruckingTogether yea wish I knew before buying it. EcoFlow is in power station business and they have a pretty good ad campaign that’s why I got sucked into buying their product even though the heat pump is useless for us we all have bunk heaters in our trucks for cold weather. Anyways I hope when I get my lithium battery pack built and put in I can run the ac on max power for 34 hours or longer
I’m so glad, with what I do, when I go to Costco meat production, we’re allowed to roll in the Costco lane and go pump the grease interceptors and leave without dealing with anyone 😂😂
great idea using the wood blocks to keep the height without a bunch of dangerous jacks all over.
Broker Games yep..I've dealt with a bad one on this load to dallas outta Phoenix. He sent 3 trucks 🚚 at the same time to pick up this load. Urghh . I was already in the dock and loading when the other two showed up and it caused a cluster fudge
I always love it when folks try to rationalize their actions with non-facts. The fairing will save money...
I always love it when people comment thinking we care about their opinion
Great video! Thx ..
Everytime I go into the port and the lights are flashing I still be looking back like yeah they aren’t coming after me are they lol
Ran up to Dillon then cut off and went to twin Bridges
Martin I had a pyometer gauge like that and put it in a truck that I had tuned. I liked it. Seemed pretty accurate
It’s a pretty good pyro. Find it pretty accurate
You do great work on your equipment. Its not hard to see why the shippers work with you. Tally ho, as they say on another kind of carrier.
Great video Martin. Very informative and gives me an idea how to do the work on my 579 as well. Thank you and yall stay safe
Never understood the "logic" of checking in 3 hours ahead of your appointment, ESPECIALLY when it would only be 4:30 then. Nope. Not gonna do that. Imagine I just arrived just in time for the real appointment, will check in then.
they told me to check in at 4.30 when I told them my appointment was for 7. So I was doing what they wanted me to do, its their show not mine. I would of rather slept in myself
@@TruckingTogether Yes I understand your thinking. I only tried to say that I've learned that the day/evening crew will say anything to get you out of their hair. Morning crew does not know what time you got there, so (after a few of these situations) I started to check in close to actual appointment time because there is nobody gonna be able to tell you that it's wrong to 'arrive' half hour before appointment. My hubby did not like it because he always kept hoping on a miracle that a 3 hour early check in would result in a 3 hour early (off) loading. 😘
I can sooooo relate to the not teaming reasons. After having done that for 3 months (18 years ago), my hubby and I never understood how it is they still find ppl willing to do that. 2 people in 2 different trucks earn more per mile and they get to stop the truck to sleep !
Good one yall take care be safe 🙏
Back had to make this a two-part video lol
Martin quit breaking stuff and you won't have to fix stuff😂😂😂
Popping pins. Its the shackles getting worn. Ez fix it to pull & flip them inside out. The bump is the spring moving side to side. You can buy washers to shim and new shackles too. Not too expensive or hard to do. You want them very snug
It was all just done, all of it.
try again, that fix was for the old trucks, he will find it someday.
That looks good without the side fairings. Mine looks like crap my fuel tank has so much dirt I am hoping to replace it and put a stainless side steps too
Oh yeah, this had a bunch of crap on it too, the driver side tank originally had a crack in it so it was layers of fuel and dirt caked onto it.
I just want to remove my roof cap just to install the solar panels without needing to climb up there and then put it back on
Each to their own. I like the tape better. We have had the teflon paste dry out and leak before. Why did you take the heard bumpers off ? I would like to have them on our trucks but they cost more than we want to pay right now. Keep safe and keep making them videos. And hope you 2 have a great 4th of July. Hey did Alice's mom get moved back to?
Man I find that with the tape, the paste shouldn’t dry out between threads. Herd is ugly and cost me a full mpg in fuel, I’d have to hit a deer everyday for that to pay for itself. Plus a buddy wanted it soooo worked out. Yes Alice’s mom is down the road from us.
Happy 4th to my favorite streaming Americans
2:38 minutes into this video, did that cabover twinkle their marker lights thank you when you flashed them over??
Why is there a coffee can coming out the side?
It’s a fresh bean grinder. It’s a 579 thing, you wouldn’t understand.
Didn’t you cut it for your Bluetooth weigh thing a ma gig
Yeah probably lol
Great content for basic mtce
Hopefully Tiny sells soon for ya…..l
Man though you couldn’t hold it ,lol 😂 I give it to Martin you do nice work it’s only way to keep your business going especially doing most are all maintenance on your Trucks and your spread axle pretty sharp looking
Super trucker Just Trucking would have replaced them all.That dude throws alot of money away.
He sucks.
Wow big difference in videos, the last one to this one. I actually liked that one showed how terribly wrong things can go when your out there and things go south to this video where everything was very relaxed. It can happen one maybe two times a week. Then you go 3 weeks and everything is running like a well tuned pocket watch. Then bang it happens again. It’s so frustrating because so many times the trucking company gets no money or no where near enough money, Varey rare the trucking company is happy with the compensation money it deserves. Enough ranting. Martin man your one heck of a man that can fix or find and fix what ever has gone south on your equipment. I used to hate rattles. Buy a tractor, shake rattle and roll as they say. I like the idea of each tractor has its own trailer. Less ware and tear on just one unit plus gives you flexibility. All these things add up to the bottom line and less pressure on everyone . If one trailer breaks down you still got the other one. No trailer no wheels go round and round and then the $ sign falls out on the scheme of things. Great video guys. Hope things are going better out there for Alice. Home in a few days..Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D…
I've used that Hewitt Industries pyrometer and boost gauges for years. My pyrometer sits @ 50 degrees when dead cold. Always has. So i just do math. 50 cooler than reading. Doesn't bother me too bad. Be safe brother and sister!
I figure it’s just reading ambient, seems to be pretty accurate.
@@TruckingTogether good deal. Maybe that's it. I like them though for the money.
Your right the roads out in PA are bad but the roads out in Indiana are really bad on 70 east and west bound my fender broke the inner shell in behind the driver side steer tire so I had to pull it off and put some fiber glass on the inside of it let it sit for a while before I put it back on thank you for what you put on your channel keep up the great work both of you
I agree, their roads are bad
Amber lights can’t be any worse than the guys running down the road with purple or blue lights all down the truck and trailer lol.
Yup those are super gay 😂😂
I am always amazed watching Martin work on these trucks. So many different pieces and ways they all fit together.. assemblies and subassemblies everywhere. He just knows so much and seems to put things together just the way they were meant to be... AWESOME !
Great video
Kid’s bubble making solution works well locating air leaks . Heavily apply weatherproof caulking on the top plate of the air spring at the frame rail . Original Peterbilt air springs are top quality ! Rub down the new air springs with a quality rubber preservative . Good Job !
couldn't U apply armorall or Gunk engine protector shine on the airbag's! Gunk seems to stand up to/endure grime & dirt'e so much better! sorry! just say'n! so it's the Mrs. fishtailing around those Pen gravel roads @ 60mph! U need 2 hands, as U mash your fingers!!
Good job Martin👍👍👍
Get back get back to trucking and make that money!!!
What money?? lol
Enjoyed the video. Martin does excellent maintenance work . Have a great 4th and be safe.
Always use liquid sealant instead of teflon tape to seal threaded coolant fittings. Teflon tape will destroy a coolant pump
Awe great job Mr Martin! You do a great job with your shop talk videos. Sure missed them. Have a wonderful 4th trucking together!
Thanks Matthew!
Great video, you show the real life experience of a owner operator. There is always something that needs to be addressed. Stay safe
