    Really appreciate the fact that you're not afraid to show that you're not perfect and you don't hit your dock one shot all the time like some other drivers make it seem. You're way more real than they are. Can't wait for part 2. Come on!

    No thru-trucks means do not use the road to pass through. So you can use it get to your pick-up location but can't use as a shortcut to get across town.

    @simplespeed84 Před 3 lety +1

    When I have a tight spot like that i pull up on the left like you do did, pass it, the straddle the center line with your tractor and pull forward until you point the trailer towards the hole as close to the curb as possible. Then back you tractor straight back straddleing the center line until its time to cut the wheel. This way leaves you room to swing your tractor and not go in the ditch but still get it in the hole enough to pull forward and straighten the trailer. But, i wasnt there and know its always different in person. Beautiful truck, stay safe driver. 🤘

That was educating, not familiar with spread axle trailers. And its an interesting topic/debate, whether to slide the tandems to the rear eliminating the tail swing or forward for shorter wheelbase, easier to aim when you dont have much room in front of you (what he said 37:00). 46 mins and I wanted more, what the hell.

    Used to use the 'spray off the trailer tandems' to gage the ice. Ran a lot of Cleveland to Kenosha, and the Indiana Tollway would get a bit dicey sometimes. I'd have the CB down low with the constant jaw jacking. Whenever it got REAL quiet on the radio, you could usually bet on ice. Been retired going on eight years now, and really enjoy your channel.
