I Love What We Do But It Sucks We Can’t Pull Into A Scale Without Worrying About Getting Put Out Of Service From A Uneducated Revenuer.. These Guys Have No Clue What There Even Looking At!!
Amen to that the dot was created as a new mean of revenue collection
Give em hell brother
Its the outcome of wilful ignorance and a population of wilfully ignorant peoppe accepting the illusion if freedom as freedom. When its actually slavery. Thank those who supoort "law enforcement". This a case of "law enforcement" doing something that bothers you. What about police who do something that bothers someone you dont know.
I have $5k for the first person to cite where in our constitution that "we the people" (which includes me) gave government the authority to police society or us as individuals. For anyone who trys, this challange has been in going since 2017 and seen by almost 300k people. If government has even a spec of authority over you. Then you are not free. The red coats were the british policing forces of the day.
Looking good!
Keep a copy of that officers brother telling you that he was going to get you, a court will love this. total BS
That DOT officer is out of line. Get a lawyer, shut him and his commander down quick!! I have done it 3 times now. 🇺🇲
Nobody knows for sure a DOT official was even on the phone, nobody actually heard the guys voice..
@@scottbamasime4338 😂😂
I’d suggest the same thing.
@@stupadaso7948 dont believe everything you watch
I should have said that running fairly local has the advantage of a driver/company having ready access to legal help to fight a bogus ticket.
Report him to his supervisor and internal affairs. Give them the evidence from his brothers comments and threats. That is intentional targeting and abuse of power. Couple complaints and he will have to explain his bias.
Same thing happened to a buddy of mine who owned a tow truck company. He had ticketed 3 of his trucks with minor infractions within a week.
It was over a tow he gave to the DOT officers sister. Needless to say, he is no longer DOT.
Someone on CZcams loves to watch someone suffer and not succeed. Love your videos and your work Tim. I'm not a trucker but I like to say to you keep on truck'n
I like how you stand up to a DOT i’ve had problems with them in the past Theydon’t do their job right
They'll just pull everyone of your trucks just to go thru them and waste time. Standing up to them is one thing, but when your wrong, shut your mouth, take the ticket and air up the tires to atleast 100psi for being loaded
I have been pulled over by the same guy close to home here a couple times. As long as we show them respect here they are really decent to deal with. The guy just likes to check the truck once in a while. I have no problem with him. He has a job to do.
Once in a while you run into an inspector with an attitude, I worked on a tanker fleet for a few years and we had some inspectors that were wound tight. A call to the state DOT office was needed once in a while to get them settled down and seeing eye to eye.
Who knows if he was really on the phone talking with a DOT official that way or just saying he was to get comments or views generated...I mean anyone can say they are when on a headset right?
The fella commented on the channel. Saying his dot brother said he was gonna shut him down. He allready did once and now again.
@@jamessaunders1926 and? That's according to Tim..some people will believe anything you tell them..
Good job standing up to DOT !
This isn't even real. Tim is a bad actor.
I’m glad that you stood up to the DOT! Love your channel keep up the good work man! Love seeing that old dump truck working too. Best channel on here 👍🏻👍🏻
Can I just say I love the sound of your old trucks!! The sound you can't get with the new ones. 👍
I had that same kind ford , Flashback to loud with the passenger window down no ac wow . But it sounds so cool
Save the DOT's brother's comments on your site. Might come in handy.
Exactly
Glad to see you’re putting the dump truck to work. Get the other two going and make some $$$$. Love your channel
Tire bounce is part of the design of the suspension.
Hey Tim! Dump trucking is what we do! Along with light excavation. I wouldn’t know what else to do. Love your channel. Ethan.
The DOT will work to find something wrong with a brand new truck that has been gone over with a fine tooth comb.I had one in Ohio give me an inspection and found nothing wrong with it and spent 45 minutes trying to figure out a way to write me a ticket over my medical card which was filled out correctly So you can't tell me anything about them
SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY DAD ITS JUST NOT RIGHT !!!!
There are dickheads in every type of job but the cops seem to be hiring people that have deflated EGO'S.
The Pontiac Michigan scales had been closed a year or so. The ground around the scale was horrible so we always chose left lane. Well I get down to the scales and the sign lights up to enter. I’m in the left lane.Nobody is gonna let a Mich. gravel train over so I didn’t even try. I weighed a 161,000 pds. As I go by scales The flashing emergency lights on squadcome on. Now I have to stop. He writes me a tickets. I’m going to court. I get there over a 100 drivers are lined up to pay the fine. It was like a $350 dollar ticket for missing scale. but they were so nice lol.If I plead guilty I’d get a $200 ticket and zero points. I paid it but it gives me gas to even think about it.
I am proud of you every day with what you do and stand for Tim!
Really love seeing those L-series still at work. Last year of manufacture was 1997. I worked on those thing as a Ford tech for 10 years. Replaced frame rails on a truck just like that when the driver put the full 14yd dump body up with the right side wheels off the ground. Was a pretty hilarious scene with the frame twisted so bad. Lots of holes to drill. Was a 3 week job.
Good on you for helping out a friend.
Another great video, of a friend helping a friend hauling the dirt . Looks like that new driveway is going to look great . I will see you all later, so take care .
🤗👍💖💫
That dump truck sounds the BEST of anything you have put on here.really awesome
Man I been watching this channel from when Bruce said to check y’all out…maybe 500 subs? It’s so cool to see you guys grow! Hard work pays off and you guys are living proof.
You need to contact his barracks commander and file a complaint.. print the comments from his brother .. show the commander and tell him it stops or you'll take legal action.. he can't determine out of service for low air on visual inspection.. its a % not a guess ... usually below 60psi
That old beast reminds me of an old 2 stick 20 gas pot that I used to drive. Had to get out and smack the split every so often to be able to use high range, and then smack it again to get it into low.
Good job Tim keep up the good work can't wait for the next video
I enjoy all the ball busting that goes on on this channel 👍👍
Excellent work Tim! Keep it up my brother!
Tim: For the low tire thing, I would have a monthly certification done by at least 3 shops on air pressure. Get a notarized and signed record, if you don't already have one. When DOT tries to shut you down, you would then have the paperwork associated with that truck, and would be able to show it and cut that kind of crap off at the pass. And, at the least, you'd be able to show any inspector, cop, judge, prosecutor, etc., that your trucks are in good, safe, working order.
And, like most people, I think this DOT cop is screwing with you just to screw with you. And you're absolutely right: It isn't just to shut someone down, who is trying to earn an honest living, an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. I'd go after the DOT for harrassment, since that sounds like what this DOT cop is doing.
I love the way that old L-9000 sounds under load.
How are you an your family are doing great good to see you again buddy
I used to drive a dump truck for a friend years ago. Was a '73 Ford L9000 with a 10 speed, 6v71 Detroit. Top speed 50 mph. You heard that thing before you saw it!
One of my top favorite trucker CZcamsrs been watching you guys since you started fixing the airforce truck ! Keep up the great content man.
This guy doesn't fix anything what are you even talking about
@@mikeg4678 do you know how hard it is getting parts for those trucks? Especially the older trucks? Not easy!
Every time I hear the sound of this truck, it reminds me of my 5ton dump truck I drove in the Army
Funny, thought the same thing, M818 5ton. Wasn't in the Army but have an 818 tractor and a couple of M35A2s.
@@wrenchingwithrob6001
Those are tough rigs ya got there. I drove the M929A, I miss that truck so much. It was the first rig I ever drove an fell in love with it.. I miss drivin rigs
Likely because a bunch of 5 tons had Cummins in them…
The ol L9000 sounds ok. Some dot can be a pain in the but to say it nice and theres good ones. If that guy shuts you done for that tire put himout there and the scale house shut the bad dot down. You got this brother. Keep us updated.
176k subs and climbing. I remember when y'all had 30k subs. Y'all keep up the good work
Thanks brother your a great supporter!!
Like the way your dump truck talks to you 🙂
The pressure stamped on a tire is the maximum not the minimum as long as the tire is wearing correctly there's no problem running 85 psi
Wrong.....tire must have, at minimum, the correct pressure for the weight it is carrying. Tire manufacturer publishes that info on their web page, for each size and model of their tire.
@@ronaldfulton1175 wrong....... it's only a recommendation and most are 85 psi
@@tooljunkie1937 no, go look at any tire and you will see a maximum pressure and a weight next to it. If you are too heavy with not enough air your tire sidewalls will flex so much that they build up heat and cause a blowout. You have to at least have the manufacturers recommended pressure for the weight you are hauling.
@@63jeepj20 wtf are you talking about did you not watch the video he clearly says he has no problems running 85 psi
@@tooljunkie1937 look at your reply above where you said Ronald was wrong. Did you forget you replied?
Tire manufacturers have charts that show the load capacities of tires vs. air pressure, you can find them online to argue your case. Tires do not need to be aired to maximum pressure if you are running less than maximum load. I do the same on my rigs especially if running on rough roads.
Always back a machine up the ramps if you can help it.. certainly helps when you've got no attachment on
One time the DOT shut our trailer down because of a rust spot. We weld some patches on it until it got to our shop. They never check our work and let the truck go with that trailer.
I miss seeing your little sidekick with ya! Must be back in school I reckin’, my kids go back on the 29th this month, anyways much love fellas and lady’s from central Massachusetts!
Good for you standing up to the dot . Some are lazy won't even put a air gage on a tire
Been a huge fan since the beginning love the channel ! Saying hey from Ringgold Georgia
That dump truck exhaust sounds damn good with that jake. Can’t beat the sound of a Cummins
My uncle had a Ford 1973 custom 8000 tri axle dump truck that was one tough dump truck
Check the the regs in that area because here where I am we only have to have 50% of the pressure specified on the tire so if it says 110 PSI your good as long as it has over 55 PSI.
The best thing you did was stick up for your driver against those bullies from our fearless government. You have every right to be pissed off at their behavior and kudos to you for telling them the truth!
Yeah man love you videos Born and Raised South Georgia West Florida Creek Indians I watch the videos all the time ever since you run that old the army truck in the lake yeah I thought that was kind of stupid though it cost a bunch of money but it is what it is Country Boys know how to have fun keep your good videos are coming and tell them children to watch out there now
Great wee change today loved it
Love your videos that man wish I could get up that way in the hills and hang out yeah
Tim your friend is a beast in that bobcat
On that drama I'd say just be the better man and just keep going in there with good equipment.
I run 17.5 tires on my step deck. At 85 psi cold they’ll have around 100 psi hot.
Glad to see ANOTHER deceptive title! Do you not realize your FMCSA data is public! BTW I like the video, I drive quint axle dump and the the 1st truck I drove was an l9000
Dude first time I watched your video in a long time and first one in a long time and you always getting in trouble haha 😄 with dot
That's a shame Tim I hate that for you buddy you run a excellent company they should not be bothering you guys .Thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Keep up the good work can't wait for the next vedio
Wow 😳😳 that's awesome exhaust sounds can you make more videos of that truck driving it around with the exhaust sounds. This video blew my mind away, LoL
Good luck with that D.O.T I had a problem with one officer when hauling anhydrous ammonia He quickly had a change of attitude when he smelled that stuff I don't know what you think about this but what about putting cat eyes air pressure gauges on your trailer tires it's just an idea good luck
look up and bring to court the "engineering data" on that tire, it will give a range of pressures based on the weight it is carrying...all the best
8:51 the engine sounds great 🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍!!!
Man that cummins sounds 🔥love it
I couldn't remember your e mail address, that's why I'm sending this here. I ran a trucking Co. For 16 years and it was located on the port of Charleston. They introduced me to a cleaner called Simple green. It's non toxic &, bio degradable. If your like me you hear all that and think there's no way this stuff will cut grease. It surprised me. I've even used it on the interior of my car, carpets are spotless now. Only reason I'm telling you about it I saw ya'll using purple power, I promise you'll never buy Any more purple power after trying this. You can get it Any where Lowes, wal mart etc. Keep up the great contend. Thanks for what you do. Mike
My cousin worked for a farmer that had a tri axle and air operated gate
Maaan that old ford sounds gooooood buddy!
Great content thanks for sharing
yuins are doin a good job haulin that dirt.
Extra video content with all these projects etc might get you some extra $ to get more toys or more cabovers to fix up
Just seeing this now 😢
And see you had the Gringe coming sooner that usual. Doesn’t he usually come around for Christmas??
Dang, that attitude and his aggressive (violent) behaviour is way out of line and NOT in line with operations and their guideline!
Did you lawyer up and see this through?
Amazing channel Tim and Braxton! You two are just badass!!
Thanks for letting me watch on and have a blast the same time!!
Best wishes,
Dennis (F/ Denmark)
I could listen to that soundtrack all day long
Ask the tire's manufacturer to give you pressure versus load , and pressure versus speed charts,that would answer the safety question.
I think I seen a video on that. The guy that put that fence up is on Social media. He said he bought the house and he found out that the neighbors driveway was on his property. So he fenced off the driveway access. I think it was tictok.
Contact scale supervisor. Document it all.
I have gotten into it because I run lower air pressure in my super singles to keep from tearing tire up. Michelin has recommended air pressure chart for tires all sizes based on weight moving.
Have tire man come out sign off all tires equal pressure.
Gday from Australia mate...lobe ya work
They're job is to be a complete pain in the a** to any one that is finding other ways of keeping their company going by any means necessary like you do Tim, you follow all the guidelines tire pressure everything, but they just got to find some way to slow you down, but you don't let them stop you no matter what, by the way I got there was two other trucks I forgot to add to my list, the gmc can over & that damn Ford 9000, both of them trucks got that angry sound to em, reminds me of this old school mack truck with a Cummings engine in it, the whole neighborhood would hear when this man would do a cold start on that thing this was back in 1980, I was 10 years old then damn how the hell do I remember that, I love them loud as hell dump trucks that's a lot of muscle power & torque pushing through that engine, just keep doing what Cha do bro they just mad cause they can't stop you. 💪💯✌️
tim 2 straight dump trucks 87 freightliner blue and 72 diamond reo blue in egg harbor township nj on craigslist south jersey alittle rough but decent
go get them tim you are in the right hang in there
excellent timing!
Just because it's a bad idea, it doesn't mean it won't be fun
Best comment!!
@@Gentryandsons I'm pretty bad about egging stuff on & instagating stuff
As long as you’re running the recommended amount of air pressure on those tires there’s nothing they should be able to do
That old ford sure loves singing
working it out 85 p.s.i./110p.s.i. is roughly 75%, and with the load being carried taken into account, then I wouldn't think twice on running a load like that, as long as well as the equipement and load wasn't more than 75% of the vehicles m.a.m. weight. it is totally different if the total weight m.a.m was exceeded then the tires got to work harder which creates heat that in turn increases the tire pressure to the point of a potential blow out situation, then lives are at risk, but 75% on a trailer which doesn't do massive amounts of work apart from braking, which more tire grip is prooven to provide better braking in an emergency situation. then 75% inflation wouldn't make me think too much about it, be different if it was on the tractor unit, as both the front wheels and rear wheels work hard with steering and drive.
When are we going to fix the head liner Boss? It looks cheap like an Oakland Ca. Dock Truck.
The Iowa DOT -- IHP shut my 1998 Pete down for two broken studs in the Manifold and that cost me two weeks in the Council Bluff's Kenworth because they could not get on it that long and believe me, They work with the DOT and IHP. They care nothing about the Driver's. And I had to get a ride to St. Joseph, Missouri and then back to get my Truck and had to wait three hours after I got back.
I worked for Schneider for many yrs driving a tanker. Dot always waved me through. It sucks that big carriers catch a brake but the little guys who have to hustle to find there way don't ever catch anything but a hard time. Hell I even always had a load and that by itself isnt so right.
That's because the big carriers pay...they bribe. DOT is some criminal shit
I am a single truck independent operator and haven't set foot in a scale house for over a decade.
It helps if you keep your equipment clean and don't operate like this jackass
It's really no mystery.......
I’m not a fan of DOT myself, I recently had surgery that put me out for a month, it was on my rear end so I couldn’t sit down, my first day back a trooper pulls me over for an inspection and I explained to him I couldn’t sit for very long (running 30 min at a time to each load) he proceeded to take an hour and a half on a level 2 and wrote me a violation for a spring that goes to the back of my glad hand (serves no mechanical purpose) that slid down the air line. I slid it back into place and still got the violation. If this surgery wound does heal properly I’m suing the hell out of them!
1:17 now that's a motto to live by I live for shady things 👌
That ford sounds good!
On tyer in UK it has the min max pressure on the tyer it self hope it help
love the channel and i don’t like dealing with dot either
At times it almost seems like I’m watching Duck Dynasty. It sure feels like a wild ride in that cab
When I was wrenching for D.G. Coleman, it was 110 steer axle, 100 tractor drive axles, 85-90 on the trailer tires depending on whether they were in town or OTR. tl;dr =The FUUUUUuuuuuu*****?!?!??? Sounds pretty sketch to me, and you should look into going up the DOT COC.
Very good Video 👍👍
Damn you got a lot of arm chair qtr backs on here....Keep it up brother you got this....Love your channel !.....As for all of them their probably in their moms basement
I'll 👋 when I go through Memphis tonight brother
I would stop before the weigh station and air them up. Stop after leaving and put them back to whatever.
Tire inflation/load charts available online with your smartphone to show the Data 👍
Hey bud , maybe look at Meritor Tire Inflation System by P.S.I. takes 3 to 4 hours to install that way when your driver is pulling into this idiots inspection/Scale station, fill tires up to max as you pull out dump back to 85 ! Hahahaha But be warned he could look for a drip of oil somewhere /anywhere, shut you down again ...Goodluck Tim , enjoy the channel very much especially while laying in this damn hospital.
TIM, I ran 40 Trucks before I retired in 2001, 85 is all I ever ran in my tires, I don't think your DOT Fuss knows what the heck he is talking about!
Get some coverhauls for your mecks.
In Illinois at the 220 pickle park on 57 had a bear who had a gold creeper.they called him pickle park pete.i don't know if he's still alive or if he's a bear anymore.he would wake drivers up wanting to inspect log books back then.of course these drivers would be intimidated and give em what he wanted.all they had to do was not answer the door.
simple a tire is not considered flat until it is at 50% of the sidewall pressure, so 85 psi on a 110 psi tire is fine, Besides if he has no air gauge how does he prove what pressure its at. The ticket would be tossed in court.
Yes, you are absolutely right. The swamp rats are going after the little guy. Keep on truckin and fightin!!!!!!
