Thank you for following. :)
Live and Learn. No one is immune from mistakes but you manned up and did the right thing. Some lessons are cheap and some are expensive! But if we take them the right way they all make us better. Thanks for sharing your mistakes as well an your successes. And tell Andrea she is my idea of who makes a good wife because she she builds you up and doesn't beat you down, At least on video!😁😁
She is the best.
@@mikethetrucknut Yeah I was impressed with her attitude through that.
It’s water under the bridge nothing you can do to change it just keep on keeping on✝️✝️✝️👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
Hi if the rear tyres were on the first axle you may have just cleared that built in tin opener,no seriously i feel for you good luck We've all been there,regards from Scotland 🏴🇬🇧🚛🚛
I would listen to your dad. Sell that cab as a full unit telling about the wiring as to what engine was in it before. Cut the frame behind the cab, leave it mounted to what is left, take the front axle out but as for that steering box, if left as a unit together might make it more attractive to the new buyer. Price would reflect that bonus or offer to remove for a difference in price. Less work for the next person adds to its being sold as a buildable unit for someone else and they do have to come get it costing money.... make it worth a persons time. Times are dang tough and nickel and diming the other guy so you save a hundred, seems mute as you needed a good deal and so do they. There are businesses that remain in business because of a decent chance to save a dollar just like you and do you really need old nuts and bolts that you never get around to using. These are projects and for some its their only chance to survive what may come next. I might sound harsh but your dad has been there and done that more times than he probably shared with you.
No accidents no lessons learned. You manned up and accepted responsibility. That in itself makes us like your channel even more. In the end the juice is worth the squeeze, keep up the good work!! God bless
I thought the reversing buzzer on the loader was you being bleeped out 🤣, $6000 ,0uch
S*** happens Mike learn from your mistake and move on.
thats what gravels for. 😂lol
You’re an honorable man Mike! The way you stepped up & honestly took responsibility for what happened! And, for Miss Andrea keeping spirits up and not blaming you for making a mistake, my hat’s off to her too! I’m kinda anxious to see Kenny go through all his transformation, with all these parts you have gotten for him! I just know he’s going to look amazing when you & your Dad get him done! Keep your chin up brother- it’s all going to work out great! (Also, with words of experiencing these same words from other people, “ learn to forgive yourself!”)
That spill was overrated, the company that charged RB took them to the cleaners. No way in hell would it cost 6 grand to clean up a diesel spill that barely leeched into the ground. They could have taken a tiger torch and burned off the area. Scraped up the inch or two of messed up gravel and put some new roadbase down. What came out of that tank was probably 90% water. If it didn't have a strong odor of diesel. These environmental companies like to hose people make a big deal over nothing. Hate to see you got pegged with a 3 grand bill. What was your old man trying to do stand the old 580 on one wheel 😂
Ur paying for there certifications and dont forget they have to decontaminate it and anything that is contaminated has to b disposed of according to what ever the epa or who ever says so its not just clean it and done and you know no services we need are ever cheap it sux but we let our governments screw us no matter the country im in aus and wed get a decent bill aswell.
Not really. When I was doing this work. The environmental company still has to do something with the waste. They pay for an environmental landfill to take it. And expose of it per osha. And believe me. It's expensive. Doesn't matter if it barely leached. You still have to dig down a couple of feet. Per osha. They have rules they HAVE to follow or loose their license. Not worth it.
It happens. Just keep moving on .
You may have 4500 in this truck but what would all the parts you need for the other would have cost you buying them one at a time?
It's the old saying; "Do as I say, not as I do"...
The environmental crap is so ridiculous. The people that implement the rules and laws
pertaining to it are clueless idiots. Where do these people think the diesel came from in the first place ?
Kudos for coming clean with it Mike. Crap happens. Everyone of us has made at least one
mistake because we were in a hurry or just not paying attention. I know I have...
I don't know how it is in Canada, but I used to haul a lot of hazardous materials, and I drove
a fuel tanker the last 8 years that I drove. In the U.S most hazardous spills have a reportable
quantity of 50 gallons, so if it's under 50 gallons, you don't have to worry about it.
Sooooo, almost every small spill was always under 50 gallons LOL. Of course you had to use
some common sense about it depending on the chemical and location.
Personally I don't think whoever welded the end cap on that tank did a very good job.
It shouldn't have just peeled away cleanly from the seam.
Mike, mistakes are part of life and we all learn from these mishaps. You got up from your fall and continued with the plan. Continue with your projects! I appreciate your time and effort into these restorations. Be safe and thank you for videos.
Even though it's crazy, now it's not your fault. Friend you're doing the best that you can keep off the good work alright
Whats wrong with an eight bag? I'd take that long before a leaf over air off road. Petes in our fleet get stuck more often than I do in my 2000 W-900B. Running belly dumps. I have more ground clearance. One KW in a fleet of 5 the rest Petes.
I drove our 1999 W900 with it and didn't like as much as my 2000 T800 with Neway is all.
The only man that doesn't mess up is the one not doing anything. Don't get discouraged.
$3000 is still a lot of money for a guy to pay, but two years before I retired (2018) I was driving fuel tanker
from Central Oregon to Portland Oregon every day, hauling gas and diesel back to the Central Oregon area.
I had a new 2016 8 axle KW T-800 that hauled 12,000 gallons of gas. I was running with one of my friends that
drove for the same company. He also had a brand new KW T-800 that only had 1300 miles on it...
We were on our way back from Portland, and I was following him. We were just east of Mt. Hood and he yelled on the cb ELK !!!!
and his brake lights came on, but the truck started going left really hard, and he went off the road and rolled the truck several times...
He amazingly walked away from it, but he was hurt pretty good. The amazing thing was that when the truck rolled,
it destroyed the cargo tank on the truck and there was gas and diesel everywhere. The trailer broke away from
the truck and also rolled but somehow it didn't leak a drop.Even the inside of the cab had fuel everywhere.
Why that thing didn't explode, we will never know...
Come to find out, when he hit the big bull elk, it somehow snapped the steering arm and he lost control.
Anyway, the cleanup on that was over 3 million dollars. It was a big job. A stretch of the highway had to be torn out
and rebuilt too, but part of the reason it was so expensive was because it happened on one of the Indian Reservations.
Had it happened somewhere else, it would have been less expensive but still expensive...
Several years ago one of the drivers from the same company crashed on a different highway, unfortunately his truck
exploded and he lost his life. The cleanup for that one was 1.5 million if I remember correctly, but it happened right
along a river and some of the fuel got into the water...
Oh wow, fuel truck drivers don't get near the respect they deserve. Dad and my brother Steve have both hauled alot of fuel. 1/4 inch of aluminum doesn't offer much protection
@@mikethetrucknut You're right. 1/4" of aluminum isn't much. I remember when I first started hauling fuel
and saw how thin the tanks are LOL...
Great story.
Mike I thought you would have a beautiful fleet by now,when I left you had Smokey and two others and you had swapped houses with your dad and you are still under training,happy truck buying.
You are right lesson learned Richie Brothers helped you out for sure when I. Seen it happened I thought 20K for the clean up 👍👋🇨🇦
Strip and repaint Low n Slows deck frame so it looks great like his red wheels. Maybe replace the wood too. I wouldn't replace the deck, just improve it.
The incident at the auction was just an accident, things happen so we learn from them.
Parts truck will be useful for Kenny so all good.
So lesson learned if a stripped down To frame truck still has a fuel tank on it check for fuel .
Mind you I wouldn't be surprised if it was mostly drained by the owner and most of it was water inside that tank .
Mike, glad to see you finally got it home.
Thanks for sharing Mike live and learn it's all part of life. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Mike and Dad and Andrea.
Don't worry about it Mike forget it move on it's all okay.
Hey accident happen just keep on going and learn from your mistakes keep up the good work brother and keep on trucking
S#$t happens to the best of us
Mike, you’re only human, and mistakes happen. Take the positives from it though, you won’t make that mistake again. At least nobody was hurt in the incident, and you were able to work with RB to save a bit of the cost. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll get there. The vids are entertaining and informative so keep your chin up and carry on. 👍🏻👍🏻
Fair play by the auction company going halves, cost is reasonable from here in the UK.
Definitely a skill in moving equipment.
Hope parts sales redeem part or all of your outlay.
Thanks for sharing
Back in your dads day nobody charged money for a diesel spill. We were all born at the wrong time
Hey we all make mistakes but live and learn thanks for all you do your great work
These things happen, at least the cost was split half and half.
Every day is a school day you never stop learning
Hey Mike! If you don't do anything, nothing can happen. It annoying for a while, but soon it gets easier 👍👍
Mike, replace the wood on the deck of Low&Slow. Repaint the frame and rebuild the ramps. She'll be as good as new.
I think low n slow needs more bling and tlc. She is the mule of the channel and deserves love
We learn and move on, thanks for your transparency.
Andrea your priceless you never lost your mind but kept Kool and support Mike all the way
My apologies I think I spelled your name wrong but I’m dyslexic too 😂
You spelt it correctly 🙂
Crap happens, and you go on. It's expensive, but maybe you'll find some hidden gem in the truck. I mean, you know how strong that winch is now. Ha
Mike on your flatbed, you need to extend the bed and get some aluminum ramps longer so you don’t have that issue of dragging a fuel tank across them again and for God sakes fix the brakes on the back. Good luck my friend.😅
Do not give up, Good luck.
Well, ouch. I think if there were wheels on that front dif it would have given you clearance and that wouldn't have happened. Dang it man.
Yes for sure,
Sounds like you already have some plans for that parts rig...
That sucks but still glad you got it 😊
It happens Mike . Nothing you can do about it
Ohhhhhhhh, that was a lot of something out of that fuel tank. It had a bit of a tint to it, but yeah, probably mostly water. Too bad it cost you $3000 in clean up cost.
Ouch :(...
some days your the windshield some days your the bug
Shit happens
You have got a great wife Mike!
Lesson learned! Mistakes are there to be made!
Everyone makes mistakes you did a good for owning up to the mistakes, you just have to ask for help and the deck on low and slow put a new deck boards on it and a bigger winch on low and slow and sand blast the deck that is on slow and slow then paint it and revamp the ramps and the slopped back deck so it’s not that step of an angle
I can relate with my model cars too lol😅!!
Oh.wow
Even after having to pay for the mistake could you get all the parts you need to do Kenny the way you want for the same or less just based on what I see where I live I still think it was a great deal
6k amazing 😢😢😢
We call that weed control in the south without the cancer that comes with a store bought weed killer.
Maybe someone should have told you there was fuel in it!
Mike was that tank full of water ?
Jeez you really lost out on that one mike it's definitely a good lesson
OOOOOppppssssss.
it happens....learn and move on! I was working at a wreckers in the late 90's clearing a site cause the boss was getting out of that site) and we had to spike all the fuel tanks before the car bodies got squished by the D6....anyway my co worker spiked a 1976 Ford and it had leaded fuel from the 80s in it still! So he sticks his hand over the hole and is yelling at me to grab buckets! We ended up with about 40 litres of leaded fuel......which we put in our own cars.......it was awesome for little bit to have the power back!
💯
You have White Line Fever Mike, sadly its incurable. 😊😊😊😊
U could've blocked the rear to lift up the rear silly one
Brilliant video
I might have Dunn that a time or two shit happens 😮
Could you repair the frame and swap the parts from Kenny on this frame?
Change cabs on the frame.
New viewer here them RED rims look absolutely sick on the cabover!!!!
Thanks they are @wstarusa.com wheels
Just keep moving on Mike
You should talk to Dieselcreek about spills
I think I would have not made this video 😮
Mike,,,😊would Kennys cab and motor fit on the new donner chassis ,if so that would be great 😅😂😂❤
It would just be alot of work to make cab fit but @debosegarage did it with their K100
lol i just bought a 2011 santafe fully loaded for the same amount, wanna trade me love big trucks go vroom vroom lol
That was dumbest ever mike
in brazil nobody would "see" nothing and go ahead. even if it was diesel, so what? and what the hell are the "permits" to use YOUR truck? endtimes! where have to pay for everything.
Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦
Mike Shit happens
Why did you have to buy a permit to drive the truck to Ritchie bros?
Because it's not insured right now
What a bummer. . . Where was your dad? Can you pull start a vehicle like your dad's suv
HEY MIKE !!!!! Are you holding out on us, or did I totally miss something ?
It looks to me like I see the back of a brand new Peterbilt in the shop.
Am I seein things ?
Dagwood Bumpster strikes again. Thanks for the amazing show- you are entertaining for sure
So, what are you going to do with that?
How is your Dad doing since he lost his wife? He seems pretty sad, and rightfully so.
It's been getting tougher as time goes on but, he has a friend he started doing things with that's making it easier.
Mike why didn't u just asked them for help.
Mike, this was a BIG, BIG mistake!!
ugh don't put that on Kenny.
Why?
@@kevinmoran2423 because it’s haggard. It’ll cost as much to make it work then to buy something modern
The old 359 day cab with cat is my favorite
