All the fire trucks he hauls and he FINALLY plays with the lights...Yay!
He should give the horns a toot lol
I liked big man Steve's little child's laugh when he turned all the fire truck flashing lights on!
Bet he wanted to hit series on ti
It
Now that's an old school truck driver there. Knows how to get things done besides being a steering wheel jockey. Always said a good truck driver need to have many occupational skills. To be a truck driver you have to be a mechanic, secretary, account, a lawyer, and a labor. Good job Steve
Nice work! Steve
I doubt a lawyer given the extreme complexity of laws from state to state. Most professionals know when it's time to hire another professional to do work they shouldn't try and do on their own. A good trucker has made friends with a lawyer and an accountant at the very least to prevent trouble or to bail them out of trouble when they least expect it.
Definitely old school when he’s done there none like him coming after him
Videographer in this case.
Nice job Steve u and Orwell stay safe
That looks like one sweet fire truck and yours doesn't look bad either. It brings back memories of driving fire trucks in 1965 at Seymour Johnson AFB. One of the trucks we had was an O-11a, now in the museum at Wright-Patterson.
Living in Jacksonville, I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for Engine 28.
You're not just a steering wheel holder , this shows being a little mechanically inclined can save your butt on the road
Every child wants to play with the lights on a fire truck. Good video. You go the extra mile unlike some steering wheel holders out there.
The battery charge indicator is for when its sitting in the fire station, it is attached to a cord called a shoreline for charging. It keeps the truck, radios and lights charged at all times. If its not plugged in, the batteries will die weather the battery switch is off or not. They draw a current at all times.
If he hauls fire vehicles often, he should install a charge cable on the trailer.
Wow what a nightmare glad you were able to get that fire truck started and offloaded. Salute to you and all the truckers out there keeping America rolling. Stay safe and God Bless. 🇺🇸👍🏼
A job well done. You hit all the bases. That's how you build and maintain a good reputation. The customer will remember, and the gate guard will, too. Quality matters.
10 -15 years ago, HIGHER ME UP! Mr. Parkenson and 7 decades...,. Ja, I probably still can out work most of these kids, today!
I did say, most! There are a few, it seems, who had parents that cared!
Those are the GEMS IN THE ROUGH!
That turned out to be a "Charlie Foxtrot" Much props to you!
They use to say when you had a wreck in a cabover you were the first one on the scene 😀 but I liked the old cabovers KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛👍🇺🇸
Gonna install a remote jump plug or lugs our your truck? seems like a good idea.
Florida humidity never goes away. That looked like a very hot and sticky delivery
Gettin it done! Can’t be scared of a little dirt and sweat, that’s what made America. Well done👊🏻
Really enjoyed the video. Glad you knew what you were doing. I'd be lost. God bless you.
Just getting these videos edited and uploaded seems like a job all on it's own. More to trucking than just driving. Have to be a mechanic and problem solver and some.
When hooking jumper cables
1) Red to dead + terminal
2) black to dead - terminal
3) red to jump + terminal
4) black to non battery ground point on jump vehicle. Don’t connect to - terminal. You can damage components on the jump vehicle.
Great work putting your head down and getting it done. No waiting to be bailed out, just grab the bull by the horns and do it. BTW: All firetrucks have a sweet smell. It is the sweet smell of "cool".
that squeaky noise after he unhooked the jumper cables was air building in the tanks cause when the trucks sit in station they have a 12v pump that keeps the tanks right around 100-115 psi and with the truck being unplugged and not charging the truck leaked down air. Also what probably killed the battery was any flashlight and radio chargers in the cab and any chargers in the compartments, most radio and flashlight chargers are wired around the battery switch so they are always charging.
Hard work pays off, nice job onloading that Pierce.
Awesome job real world trucking not so glamorous when things don't go smoothly stay safe out there and God bless you and your family in this festive season 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Another fire truck delivered to my home town yeah buddy😁😎
Well done more to truck driving than just sitting there another good video cheers from England 🇬🇧.
Cha ching! Another one bites the dust. That feeling you get after you unload (PAYDAY)
Need to get a quick connect for your cables, like a wrecker set up. That way you don't have to jack the cab to connect. I have them on all my stuff.
To make it easier next time put some jumper post like the fire truck has on the back of your truck so all you got to do is just hook to them
As a new unit, there will always have a gremlin hiding in there. You know the statement,, if it has tires or t ts, there will be problems. Had a coworker tilt a cab, broke a windshield, broke the shifting unit on top of the 13 speed. The hydraulics on a fire unit will not release the locks unless all the way open/ tilted.
He said probably rebuilt, not new. Even more gremlins.
Professional driver, great seeing someone take pride in there job. B
My landlord just turned a fire truck pumper truck into his new septic truck all the light where converted to yellow
Welcome to Jax! Wish I could have known you were coming… would have met to say hello and bring a plate of supper. Best wishes.
That is why I loved pullin a reefer a source for jumpin
When you were pulling into gate the fire truck emergency flashers looked like they were already on but dying out from having been left on. For a new fire truck the batteries should have well lasted the trip from the Midwest. It’s only when commissioned radios 24 hour standby minutes modes are activated that fire engines need to shore-lined for 24 hour maximum battery charge. Though there’s a master battery shut off switch, there’s still computer multiplex modules trickle depletes the battery over time for critical diagnostic memory function purposes.
Just had to turn on all the lights, didn't ya? LOL! Well, growing old in inevitable, growing up is optional.
I’ll bet he was tempted to turn on the siren as well. ;-)
@@dhblan8591 Oh, I know I'd be tempted. I'd likely give in to temptation too!
I am new to your videos. In think it's cool you are still using a cab over tractor to make your runs. Not too many cab overs still doing such work on a regular basis. You definitely were busting ass to drop this fire apparatus. She's a good looking unit. Drive safe out there among all the crazies.
Had to tilt the cab and now your Yoohoo is spilled!!!!!
What's the most physical job you can get in long haul trucking? Flatbedding specialty loads where you have to know how to jumpstart a battery by yourself if need be. But I like what you said at the end, bust our ass to make good money! Isn't it the truth!
Awesome as hell my dude. Love seeing trucks lit up like a Christmas tree. Good stuff.
Great video Steve it's interesting to see what you have to do to unload the fire truck. But you got It done stay safe.
Usually the ramps hook over a bar on the trailer so that they can't slide when you drive on them. Odd to see that these just sit there unattached.
I see you keep moving that Popeye box lol
You could retrofit that Peterbilt with the same kind of jumper system as that fire truck head
I'll drive for ya if it's another cabover.
Glad you solved the problem. Wonder if there is a circuit that stayed hot when the master was "off?" We'll never know. Safe travels.
That might be, one of the fire trucks I drove had an aux. gen. that would start when the battery got low, which was all the time.
You need quick conect for your jumper cables
I’d hate to ever reach a point in my life where I didn’t think fire trucks weren’t cool as hell.
I'm 50 and still do LOL!!!!
Damn you gotta train for everything you're not just a driver Great job
Steve I like how u use Orwell's horn bleep curse words😋👍
need to get an old cordless tool case to keep your booster cables in ,works great ,helps organize your jockey box
FSC Trucking, Loved here in England !
I didn't know that Jacksonville used Pierce Engines.
That's the difference..between I cant do it...and getting it done..great job..you get a work out..climbing in and out of the Truck...
Thats a pretty solid looking old fire truck. Its a shame it gonna need 1500.00 bucks worth of batteries right off the bat
Typical of you....outstanding job.
I'll tell ya what those 2021 Pierce Enforcers Are Some Beautiful Trucks
Our tanker fire truck has gel batteries. That engine may have them too. They are very expensive
I can only imagine what they paid to have that truck refurbished and they don’t replace the batteries
Awesome video brother! Steve is the Man!!👊🏻
Yep. That engine is pissed at ya. Beeping because it wants some water in the tank! Always hated that annoying sound! lol
the maintainer is when it’s in the station and it’s plugged in to power to keep the batteries charged up
Never had one, always used an APU.
Glad you got the truck to start up Steve,that looks like where you put your jumper cables at on the fire truck is a pain in the ass to get to
Actually it was the other way round, his truck was harder.
Puttin in the hrs Fez, nutha great vid thanks man 👌🏼
Nice trucks love them.
Recently started watching your life story via your videos Young Steve, I`m most Impressed with your work ethic.. Can I say "Good Job" LOL- thanks for the videos - Ian -- From way across the pond In the UK... Without truckers from any Nation or continent, stuff just would not get to destination..BE PROUD feller..
Only thing I have to say is get a boost box and keep it in Orwell all the cab jacking made me tired
Need to run some jump studs to the frame from the batteries. No more jacking the cab up.. truck from an ole skool COE driver..
Awesome job sir and this industry you must be a mechanic at the same time and be safe be blessed
Every young boy dreams of riding in a fire truck . You got a kick out of riding in that didn't you Steve? That's great.
My uncle Rudy was a fire chief in East Orange, NJ. It was fun when I was a kid in 1949.
I've never heard so many honks from you. You must of been tired that night lol
Great video That was a job but you got it done💪
Good job don👍👍👍😀😀
I hope Wiedmeyer knows and appreciates the extra value Steve, the trucking mechanic, provides them with in comparison to the steering-wheel-holders you can see on Ron Pratt's channel.
When jump starting another vehicle, you should raise the RPM of the “running” vehicle to increase the alternator output. Alternator output is usually dialed down at idle.
How would he do that with his cab tilted up?
@@thomasfogerty3515 Actually, Orwell was in high idle the entire time, Steve has a switch for that next to the starter button. Check out a vid where he starts in the morning, you will see it.
I never let Orwell sit at a low idle. It was raised up at the time. I have a cable driven high idle under the ignition key.
@@fsctrucking - thanks! I’m not that familiar with diesels. Now I know.
You like all those flashing lights!
Having fun in firetruck
1:35 _I'm gonna stand back in case it blows..._
thats some real jumper cables
Every little boy wants to run the lights once..
Good Job
Orwell & persistence did not let you down yes
Are you going to put some jumper studs on Orwell?
The unfortunate thing is for the battery maintainer to work it needs to be plugged into an extension cord.
Some have 8D batteries in them👍✌️
👍🙂 nice job.
Needs some "Remote Lugs" on Orwell...😳😳😳!!!
STEVE, Hello, Relatively new here, so been catching up on your vids, say that CAT, must be a 4 stroke engine ,,as it’s SO QUIET, NEED A 2 STROKE DETROIT, not sure what year CAT stopped TRUCK ENGINES, probably emissions , &EPA shitheads So glad to see a great COE, THATS ALL THEY MAKE IN EUROPE ! Stay well, God Bless you ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy 2022.
Well you got to drive a fire truck , and run it's lights.
A little boy and his FIRETRUCK!
Im sorry but trying to keep starting it when the battery is dead as it was kind of dumb. Thats a good way to screw up a starter or a relay. Better off letting it sitting a waiting like you ended up doing.
Firetruck safely "smuggled " into FlawReeDuh...😂😂😂!!!
have you thought about mounting a pair of Anderson style 175 connectors on each side of Orwell so you can put plug the jumper cables in without jacking the cab?
I'm surprised that nobody came to help or find out what was taking you so long to unload
Depending on the reciver policy. Some will not touch the load, for liability reasons.
Only the driver can only load and unload the freight.
Why did you keep blowing the horn when you were reconnecting the trailer? You could wake the neighbors. Hee hee.
You were over on commonwealth
I didn’t see you put the caps back on the jump posts on the fire truck
The fire truck was in Wisconson. If they froze they would be dead.
I would add a couple of work lights to the back of your truck. You looked pretty uncomfortable does your A/C not work?
Orwell does not have working A/C
@@maxracingteam23 thanks for the reply. That's rough in Florida.
@@randyogburn2498 yes!!!
Wonder if the shipper knew about the electrical issue?
Would you have taken the load?
Probably didn't start out that way. It was driven onto the lowboy.
i hope it worth all the trouble
