    Dude I can’t believe you took that load. I was in Tacoma too and actually called on that load but when they told me it was containers, I was like no way! Then I wondered what sucker would take it as it was on the load board forever, lol. Good video and great job helping those people out! I was delayed getting across Snoqualmie pass too because people had spun out and they actually closed it for several hours going eastbound.

    Something I've often thought about building on my gooseneck is a platform on the neck that is hinged at the front (build it light weight, but heavy enough you can throw your tires up there). Then put a electric lift cylinder at the rear to lift the back to create a ramp/ transition to direct air up over the containers.

    • @mrnobody8540
      @mrnobody8540 Před 3 lety

      There is a better way - if containers is all your doing.
      Cost - would take a some time to pay for it.

    Good job brother! You have a lot of videos and I plan to watch them cause I'm seriously thinking of doing the hotshot. I'm 58 and looking to do it for few years to continue putting $$ in social security. Kids are grown and got one more in college. Stay safe and I hope I get a chance to ask you a few questions in the near future.

    @isaactrades Před 3 lety +1

    You should get some led lights.. I have a 14 Laramie with the same headlights and these are 1000x better than the stock bulbs. Plug and play. They don't overheat and they put off enough heat to keep the ice and snow melted off.
    Called Auxito 9005 (HB3) Headlight LED BULB CONVERSION KIT
    They will make you love your truck more at night. I've used then for 3 years.

    Glad to c I'm not the only one to stop and try to help I would have been able to pull truck out of ditch flatbed has lots of chains so as long as they are loaded and is able to be pulled out via front of truck tow hooks in bad weather I leave mine in but Alex look up video on best fuel treatment for diesel i think hot shot Is best brand but get some big road flares so u can alert traffic in those situations

  • @donaldswink6259
    @donaldswink6259 Před 3 lety

    Congratulations on your container load, talk about Long Haul Trucking. I’m surprised you can’t buy those containers any closer than the Pacific Northwest. Hope you get another good load. Love your channel keep those videos coming. Drive carefully my friend.

    • @harleyhoracio1
      @harleyhoracio1 Před 3 lety

      I think there’s a container shortage right now in the shipping industry which trickles down to everyone in the states looking to buy for their particular project. Not sure if that’s a real shortage or an artificial one.

    Once stopped to help a guy on 20a in New York and ended up in the ditch myself. at night kids cryin, waiting hrs for tow truck. some good Sam tried pulling me out and ended up breaking the front axle off the frame by hitting a culvert. I’d love to help ppl out but unless the cars upside down or burning I ain’t stopping no more, to unsafe and dangerous with snowy roads
    Merry Christmas brother

    • @BrandonLeech
      @BrandonLeech Před rokem

      realistically not much you can do for a guy in that situation anyway. Everybody has a cell phone now to call for help and you don't want to be a sitting duck on a highway like that. Bad idea to be out there in those conditions in the first place.

    2300 miles at 6mpg. +380 gallons of dsl. $2 a gallon $760 in fuel? 40 hours drive? Pay yourself $15 hr $600. $1360. All other costs. I do wonder if anyone has looked into streamlining conex boxes? I got over 6mpg at 80k in a semi. 425 Cat. Yrs back.
    My worst in a 1 ton was 8.8mpg. Oversize, over height. Limited to 50 mph
