- Hello guys! Well this has been a LONG time in the making, but things finally lined up and I'm able to take the next step in my trucking career, mind you, it's a BIG one all at once!
2006 Peterbilt 379
CAT C15 MXS 650hp
B-Train Flatbed Trailers
Young man, and I can say that as I am a 75 year old retired driver, you are now your own man. Well, at least you and the bank, anyway. This is the only advice this old man will offer. When things get tough, and times are lean, never give up. Keep on with an occupation you can be proud of. I drove for 38 years through the states and some of Canada. I was proud of my occupation and lifestyle. Remember, Plan your work,,work your Plan. Always have patience with others, try to be understanding, and make your family proud. Good luck, work hard, and realize how fortunate you are to live in the greatest nation on Earth. Take care, be safe. retired old ron.
I know you didn't direct this at me but this was the advice I needed, thanks Ron
@@LoganC278 me too
Sábias palavras Sr. Ron, Deus te abençoe sempre!
…I’m SURE HE “Thanks you for the VERY kind words” sir…
Wise words Ron
Congrats brother, love seeing drivers going on their own. I bought a brand new truck last year and ordered another one in hopes to put a driver in it. Best of luck to you on your new adventure and looking forward to seeing you on the road. Seen you a few times between Cambridge and London
Awesome to see you making progress and those trailers sure are shiny!
I think you may need to make a gravel/hard pack route around your yard!
Oh yeah hahaha
I see it's more common to have 32 - 28 B's but I run a reversed set like yours and find it easier to scale max weights. Congrats on this milestone 👏
I was going to say the same. Out in BC I don't think I've seen a 28-32 super B, only 32-28's.
@JP Baron I'm in BC and our company has all 32 - 28s except for 2 of our China Top trailers which are 28 - 32, it can be annoying when we're hauling certain sized lumber out of the mills to get the weights right
you're a cool man, well done. Own Peterbilt in Canada, it's very bold
Congrats for the new B-trailer and customization on your truck!
I would love to see this on your truck:
- A clean chromed bumper and grill
- painted tanks with chromed fuel tank straps
But that's up to you 😅
I enjoyed watching the full video.
Have a great day 😉👍
Best thing about the Lode Kings in my opinion is the hidden lumber storage in the back panel. I can usually squeeze 8 or so 8' 4x4s in there if they're not too mangled. Rig is looking sharp Matt, congrats.
Yes! One of the biggest reasons I was looking for a LodeKing!
Congratulations driver,best of luck to you in your new adventure. Hopefully the new wagon's serve you well. Stay safe out there and keep the videos coming,catch you on the next one.
Cool that👍 gramps was there helping, AND the passerby.
Congratulations! You can see the happiness in your face and hear it in your voice. The Pete is looking Mint with the new graphics!
Good luck and looking forward to new videos with the new trailers!
As a communication technician I noticed you CB antennas are tipped forward. It is not the best angle for best transmission and receive. Although it is popular and kind of looks good the radio waves will be absorbed in the ground from the front and from the back will radiate up to the sky. The most efficient angle is 90 degrees to the road when you are driving on the highway. About 5 degrees forward would be good. Also I am a ham operator and my specialty is designing and building antennas. My brother had a Peterbilt and he loved it.
It seems to me that it is a great courage to have your own truck in Canada, I generally thought that there were no private truckers(owner operators) in Canada and this transportation market was dead.
Good grief. And here I was getting stressed out pulling my little 25' travel trailer around in "tight" spots lol. Saw the other video of you backing these things up and I don't know how you do it but you do it very well. I enjoyed your videos, you're calm and patient and polite, wishing you all the best in your future business.
rear axle locks must be enabled if available
Congratulations! Your journey reflects hard work, persistence, and obvious family support.
I've been in the cabin for 15 years, got to leave by heartattack...I will Always miss this feeling speeding up in a highway with an empty car...congarts to your new trailers....! Be carefull...
congrats man, also a little tip. foaming glass cleaner with ammonia in it is awesome for getting that glue off. use to use it all the time when I was detailing.
I discovered your channel recently. So calming and relaxing. Thanks a lot.
I'm happy to see a couple drivers still using a CB. I quite driving 12 years ago, around Chicago it seemed the only times you'd hear anything on the CB was at scales and gravel pits.
The mobilphones seams to be taking over. But here in Sweden we are trying to get people using the old cb radios again. There is some kind of charm in it.
Congratulations on the new authority, that is a huge deal. You get to cut out the middleman. I’m digging the new graphics too. She looks sharp along with those new trailers. Wishing you the best of luck sir! 😎🤙🏻
Love the new graphics. Good luck with your new authority, love your grandfather willingness to push on the pick up
Man I love those ole graphics.
Love your cheerful and positive attitude, even when things get tough…keep on trucking!
congratulations, and best of luck in the future! im hoping to do the same as you one day. gravel is your best friend when it comes to your yard. I haul cow feed and go into pastures and off the beaten path everyday and a little gravel goes a long way.
Yeah that’s coming very soon, before I can drive on it again 😂
Proud of you brother been watching you a long time, huge accomplishments, lots more to come for you. Inspiring fella with an inspiring attitude.
Definitely had a good rock going on there looks like it was going to get out on its own! Whuump...whuuump says the pipes. Sounds like third or fourth gear for that low torque effect. It's always that precarious balance of rocking it more then having the steers do their thing and dive down even further lol. Great videos and keep up the good work, this is a boatload to be proud of!!
I love the front bumper with the mud flaps and lights. Looks great.
4:16 door graphics are slanted/crooked...this is why you never measure from the door windows. It seems to follow the window angle but looks funny cause the hood and sleep graphics are level.
I was searching the comments before I said the same thing.
Yeah it’s getting redone in the spring don’t worry!
Congrats on the Authority. I got mine a couple years ago, but haven't used it yet.
Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel. Getting all the experience information needed to decide what brand type of trailer before buying great planning . Family first blue-collar generational support is a key factor in living a good life .
Awesome man! I've loved watching your progress over the last year or so and I'm super happy for you to be making this step. I hope to be in a similar spot to you some day. Idk your age but you seem quite young and that gives me hope in being able to achieve my dreams. Congratulations, and stay safe out there driver
Just crazy how semi trucks work. Keep this learning experience in mind next to you are in the road and come across a bad spot wether is a loading area or down the road. I thought you had a brand new truck!!
Save travels ~ Minnesota USA
Very cool… enjoy every day out there on the road .. one day you will be like me watching instead Of driving
Congratulations on your own authority 👍👍👍
Congratulations on the new wagons. I know how excited I was a year and a half ago when my brand new special ordered 53’ Utility high spec dry van came in. Waited a year on order. Keep her loaded and say no to cheap freight. Good luck brother
exterior view of truck is awesome with trailer
Way to go, man... It opens up a whole different level of life.. More risk, but more reward.. You definitely need to bring in a few truck loads of gravel to make yourself a better driveway there... If you're getting stuck empty, you'll sink to the axles loaded...
Yeah it’s not a permanent parking area at the moment, hopefully by spring!
Mike used to be our dispatcher years ago and moved into sales. You got to see where we hide all our trucks! Im coming back today with a michigan set. Congratulations on getting your own authority.
Ah very cool!
Is this perchance the trailer your dad brought in btw?
@@callthemall its possible him or I did. It looks like its basically a stock set and we bring those back relatively often.
Now that i think about it, this set may have been on the bottom of a stack i took to quebec. I dropped them there and once the top two were craned off one of our other guys might have brought it down to Chatham
I was smiling for your joy in getting your new trailors.. Congratulations. They look soo great.!😅
For the future, u can use rubbing alcohol to take that crap off, just let it sit for 10sec. and wipe it off, that way you don't have to use a blade on your truck.
Clean truck, new graphics, brand new super B trailers - what could be better!!!
Wow amazing graphics and trailers! 👌🏻
Watching you turn around in that field put the old song line in my head “Give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this rig around”.
Congratulations dude. Happy trail(er)s!
I unload a lot of trailers and am a very good forklift driver but i always get super nervous when an independent comes in with a new set of trailers.
Very nice , third axle will pay for itself for sure . I drove for so long i only wanted to drive a truck so my getting around vehicle was my 84 Pete . Keep Trucking “least the better ones”
Love it. I only found your channel yesterday and am steadily working through your videos. Hi to you from the UK. I have family in Canada and it sounds like a wonderful country. I love your rig. 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
Drop your air, back under the trailers then air up, you don’t wipe the grease off your 5th wheel 👍🏻
Hey! you should make an info video on all the steps you had to take to start working under your own authority. Everything from Registering the name to all the taxes you had to pay. I've always been interested in doing my own thing but wouldn't know where to start.
I might give that a go!
Congratulations! Everything takes time to set up, stay safe.
Nice to see you running on your own. Great work setting up for the graphics and the help of your friend their. New Super B Doubles, new adventures on the way. Nice way to start off the year.👍
Congratulations man!! Truck looks like a dime!! Try the eraser wheel for decals if you don't want to scrape on the paint, wipe any residue with brake cleaner. Stay safe
Sharp looking rig. Safe travels
I’m from B.C. But my family lives in London and St. Thomas. Will definitely look for you when I’m out there. Not sure why but our super b decks are the opposite. 32’ in the front and a 28’ in the back
Gravel rock hard pack is your answer , after all that did use to be a pasture !
As others have said, I also think you bought B-trains. Best of luck Matt, stay safe!
Awesome 👍👍👍
Next time you need to remove graphics, 3M makes an "eraser wheel" that attaches to your cordless drill and makes graphics removal very easy in one step, no heating, no scraping, no damage.
Ur truck is looking sharper every video, keep it up. Also u could paint the top of the cab and sleeper black. Idk if it would look good tho
A little gravel in that area and you'll be fine. Safe travels 🚛💨💨💨💨
I like the logo and the stripe on the truck.
It was predictable that you get stuck on that field!
congrads on the new trailers, you said when bob tailng you would get a vibration in the truck. watched a video with the same problem, if you have air ride on your drives. he adjusted the levelling rod & that got rid of it. the video was South Georgia
hot shot. Hope this helps, stay safe
Congratulations! I remember you told me good luck on my owner op adventure about six months ago so i can return the favor. Good luck!
Congrats mate, enjoy the job & the life I know I did oh & good luck, at times you will need it but stick with the hard times & the easy ones will follow 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Get yourself a 1" kinetic recovery rope from Matt's Off Road Recovery in Hurricane Utah. Keep it in the cab for next time. With the kinetic rope, the pickup truck could have easily freed you. Seriously.
You've made me fall in love with B-Train trailers even tho o don't drive in real life as yet
I love that your grandma is pushing the dodge😂. Awesome
Well done mate, congratulations and good luck
Congrats man, may the odds be ever in your favor!
First off, congrats brother. Second, I believe all B Trains are 32' and 28'. Both decks are 28' but the addition 4' on the lead is the axles/5th wheel that sticks out. Some have 3 axles that slide in (Tim Hortons) but most flatbed's don't. Also, I believe the 5 axle set up makes them a super b as I've pulled 2 and 2, which is a regular B Train.
My previous set was a 28’ 28’ deck configuration which is the longest allowed in Michigan. So this one is 28’ 32’ so I can fit an extra skid of stuff on but it makes the combination slightly longer, and a true super-b!
Correct; the length doesn't make them Super-B, it's the extra (5th) axle.
Hell yeah man happy for you. Got your own authority and own set a b-trains. Big moves and you worked hard and deserve it.
Congrats on your new authority and new super B’s graphics looks fantastic MATT
Congratulations man!! Sweet! Wish I could drive for you lol
Maybe one day!
Mmm , such delicious sound ! Soon I'll move to Canada and get 1st Class licence !
Congratulations on your own authority! Truck and trailer look awesome!
Congratulations!! New graphics look great and trailers are awesome i love your truck its perfect looking! Keep up the great job your doing
Hey man I have just started b train. Watching you inspire me to keep going. I have to say it ain't easy but 1full trip was enough to make me learn a lot. God bless your videos and I hope to learn much more from you
Nice truck! Hope to one day run in something nice like that. Congratulations!
Congrats! Looking forward to watching you branch out on your own now.
Nice video content take care of your truck and trailers you seem to be a very passionate young man keep on trucking stay safe Halifax England 🇬🇧
Truck and new wagons look great! Congratulations best of luck.
That was nice of him good luck with your new adventure stay safe out there
She’s a beaut Clark!
Seriously, living the dream🙌
Love the sound of that motor!!!! keep it going enjoying your vids and riding along
Peice of advice for doin turn arounds like that keep the speed up and the gears low with the lockers on you'll make it through anything.
looking good. Everything all at once. I wish you good fortune in your new adventures..🍻
For next time if you have adhesive to remove grab a 3m eraser wheel works really good
Man isn't that f**ked you can drive up icy hills loaded , mountain blizzards ect but it's always empty on a flat yard that we get royally stuck. One drive tire hits a puddle in my brothers yard and that was it we needed a front end loader in the end
That’s a huge step, congratulations and best of luck.
So sad I was waiting for Callthemall Trucking Hehe and I saw the getting stuck in the yard problem coming,, time for tons and tons of stone can you borrow a small dozer and a bottom dump I can see your Dad very happy on a dozer
Wishing you all the best Matt. Hope it all works out well for you, Cheers, Norm.
Welcome to the other side! I didn't start making good money until I went out on my own. There are busy times and slow times. Cash flow is king. A lot of companies love to stretch out not paying bills when they are due. 30 days is a long time to wait for income and then you have them stretch it out to 45. All of my customers are on 15-day payment terms now. If they don't like it they can take a hike.
Yes love having that kinda power! Haha
Congratulations on your authority, nuttin like having your own
Congratulations I would love nothing more than so start hauling for my self I deliver Heavy equipment daily but want to strike out on my own, Good job the truck is beautiful and love those trailers.
Maybe the gate needs to be wider?
Belated congratulations! Enjoying your stories by video. Keep it up.
Veeery beautiful truck !. Especially for the small bumper with mud flaps and fog lights 👍 Very old school. ( there's enough Texas bumper!🤮😁)
