Colorado is just little california. Very sad what it has become.
Think 9/11, and DHS, thank George W. Bush, some states, follow the recommendations closer than others.
Colorado is infested with Commiefornia refugees...
Damn, you are a tough ole guy driving that cab over.
It's a crime what has happened in trucking. My dad was OTR for 40 years and retired in 1992. He did a lot of it in Mack cab overs with the dual shifter. In those days, there was a lot more freedom and respect for truckers. He rarely had to wait on a load. He was the only bread winner until my mom started working in the late 70s. Dad passed a few years later, but my 98 yo mom is still alive and doing well.
Happy you and Orwell made it to your destinations safely!
When I have my "CC" on, and every time you use your Jake Brake to slow down, it says [MUSIC] for real!😄
Jake brake music... darned kids these days ;)
Take care of Orwell. It’s a good looking old truck.
The Colorado troopers have always treated me very nicely in the scales!!!
Great video Steve that's interesting why you got pulled into the Scale for. Nice of them to do their jobs. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
Welcome to Grand Forks! I've lived here 5 years now, you came at a great time, usually snowbound at this time.
That truck sounds amazing.. safe travels out there!
why do I feel like i'm in face camo, scaling the wall !! why does Colorado not have
a giant Iron gate? the sound-track is awesome! looks like U'r in U'r truck 2 me!! ha...ha..
sorry! thanks 4 the ride-along super as always! have fun @ MATS!👍👍
Steve another good video you gave the Truckers science on how to deal DOT period
Well that answers that question. For awhile now every time I saw the side of Orwell and saw the last eight of the VIN as FN171620 I was thinking the truck was an '85 model, hence the letter "F" which designates a 1985 model year. So you're right, that "F" should be an "E" for a 1984 model year. Thanks for clearing that up and keep on truckin'!
Great video Steve.
Nice Job
You can get the body cam footage since it's public record. You can submit a freedom of information act request and ask video footage to be send to your email id. Also you yourself can record your interaction with govt officials in public/public office lobby.
Anothe solvement citzen.
what ever happened to the land of the free
@@RedRedred-ld4pbwrong it a federal right
@@guy-uo8nv so you are a solvement citzen?
200 bucks for the all that. it is not free.
G'day Steve have greatly enjoyed this latest journey thru the US of A . It has been interesting for an Aussie who has traveled all over Aus. We dont have the mountains or the snow, but do have the distances and temps in the opposite to yourself. Regularly travel thru the middle of Aus when temps are 30 -45 degrees C. Looking forward to visiting in Aug/Sept to do Route 66 on H-Ds.
If a driver got their C D L with an automatic,They can't drive a manual trans.If the driver got their C D L with a manual trans they can drive either or. It will show on their drivers license that is why the cop asked. Be safe.
Yea no. Doesn't work like that in the US. My CDL doesn't state that at all
@SpeedxJunkie did you test in a manual or your license have a restriction M ??
@@eddiemounts8484 Tested in a 2000 Freightliner Manual 13 speed with a pup trailer in 2009. Class A with Tanker and Double/Triple and HAZMAT. The only thing under Restriction is 'Corrected Lenses'. Thats it. Nothing else. The only place I have ever seen anything with transmission restrictions is in Europe
@@SpeedxJunkie ask around & find someone that tested in an automatic truck & they will have an M restriction, can only drive automatic
@SpeedxJunkie They are here in the USA too. Since you got your CDL in 2000, the majority of trucks were still manual transmissions.
Plenty of newbie drivers in my company have CDLs restricted to automatic transmissions only.
I was working about that. It held us in suspense unto the next show. Well, at least it was easy going and A. D o t guy was nice good job
Nice to have civil & pleasant cop at the scales, shame he was having to a bureauocratic and intrusive task.
30:18 "What's the two red cannisters on top there?"
Those are hydraulic accumulators - they absorb pressure spikes, protecting valves, plumbing, etc from damaging thumps. If you're familiar with water pump pressure tanks, these accumulators are built in a similar way. They have a bladder at the top that is pre-charged with (usually) nitrogen gas at a few thousand (~3000) psi, depending on the expected operating hydraulic pressures.
Great video
Love the chanel.
Pulling out that weight station, chicken coupe, I noticed your headlight were quite bit dimmer than the other trucks. Any reason? Ok, keep the Sunnyside up and the rubberside down
That V plow was reminiscent of the type of snow plow Union Pacific put on their older EMD F units that ran on the mountain branches. When they were first attempting to take the plow off the trailer it almost looks like a snapping turtle trying to grab it
I thought they would have gotten you for no muffler in Colorado! 😂
I was thinking the same.
Good job bro
New to your channel. Great looking Truck!
Nice your closer to fruita lol 😂🤣🤣 I live in grand junction
Orwells house in London has security cameras 😂
You should check out Murphys Diesel when you're in Flagstaff
Morning steve
Oh my God that guy was driving with no shoes on got to be kidding me
Is that a problem to not have shoes on? Lots of people drive without shoes. Maybe not all of the time but definitely happens more than you realize.
Tons of drivers drive without them in Europe, they pull them off as soon as they get in. Make sure their truck stays clean and treat it like their house, shoes off as soon as you enter the door. Even a shop in Finland you take your shoes off when you enter the office area.
That clip will be on another trucking you tube channel.
Yep, no shoe driving! I do it all the time. I do Stepdeck, so I have steel toe Red Wings with the new wire & wheel lacing. In & out faster than flipflops!
Put them aside, in the truck. Why track oil, grease, mud, ice, snow, rain, all over the inside!
Not to mention sweaty feet in steel toes 12-14 hours a day. Out in the cold or hot, then back into the cab. No good for your feet skin.
Driving, wearing socks in the winter, barefoot in the summer. Sometimes wearing some lounge slippers. Never flipflops, dangerous to drive in flipflops. They can hang you up on the foot controls!
I also have some Red Wing slip on steel toe. Look like dinner shoes!
I always drive barefooted. always
I was able to drive an automatic truck for one trip years ago and absolutely enjoyed every mile of it. No problems whatsoever. Took it from Columbus Ohio to Raleigh N.C. and back. Would've traded my manual for one in half a heartbeat.
They have their good points and their bad points. Backing up with an automatic transmission is one of the bad points.
I'm old school, we had a automatic and it was the only truck that was on the hook, it was an electrical nightmare, we stayed clear of them after that
At least the circus music didnt come into play on this occasion...........
It was close with the driver and his slippers.
The opera you are probably not thinking of is, the nutcracker@@fsctrucking
@@fsctruckingLMFAO!
@@fsctrucking Trying too get in touch with you is eluding me, sure, I can have a chat with you but no idea on how to go about it.
i know that weigh station got pulled in there a couple of month ago for a level 3, very nice people
Ta an loves an that other one 🤣🤣🤣
Always a good time when having to chain up, definitely ups the game.
Every thing needs to be in there computer 😂
It's their ol'timer
Have you ever thought of becoming a driving instructor? I learn more from you than I did at the driving school! 😊
Manual transmissions are one of the ways to at least keep the those that can"t shift a stick out the driver seat ,just my opinion i"m old school keep on truckin
cool
Steve:
Look for a '94 to '96 Buick, Roadmaster wagon. They came with the 'Vette LT1 engine. There was an Impala SS version (Caprice) also. They got pretty good reviews.
Yup
Owned a few
Out west, I could average over 28mpg at >95mph in an all day drive
Cast iron heads, not aluminum, 265 maybe hp, not 300hp, they still run good, guy use them for a single turbo, they also made a 4.3L V8 that had an LT1 style intake, awesome fuel mileage, but again no power
Even though my favorite Pete is a 62-69 conventional Orwell is a sharp truck. Never rode or driven a cab over
Steve I just wanted to jump in and show that guy how to drive a loader. lol
Yea I always say Grand forks too my sister just moved there in November from Florida
They have scanners that collect electronic data from the truck, engine, transmission, and brake computers, before you even get on the ramp to scale house. This applies to all newer trucks of course. 👍
That station is tough. An inspector there wiped the grease from all my brake line and found one was barely chaffed and shut me down. $700 later.
Agree that is a good lookin' Pete there at 20:40 BUT it ain't near as good lookin' and Bad Ass as Orwell! Likely not as colorful a history either, but good call there none the less...
Big Brother is watching you.
And that is NO BS either !!
Automatic transmissions promote distracted driving compared to manual transmissions so yes, an automatic creates bad drivers.
Facts.
@@fsctrucking ain't got none. I was stating my opinion based on the logic of you need to pay attention to shift a manual to change speed as opposed to just stepping on the brakes with an automatic.
@@jaquigreenlees I would think just the opposite of your thought process there. For a new driver coming into the industry it’s one less thing rhey have to worry about if he’s never shifted before. He can concentrate on his driving not trying to hit gears. after being out here 32 years the last three years in my automatic and this is my eighth truck I’ve owned. I kinda enjoy it. Between Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta traffic the road I go on. Also, they have done studies of just the vibration of your hand sitting on the gearshift, which I always did when I had a stick cause carpal tunnel in your hand.
@@jaquigreenleesYou must not understand. FSC Trucking is in agreement with you. That's what he meant by his comment of "Facts."
It seems like you thought he was asking for facts. 😂
@@davebeckner1298 The benefit you have is you know how to drive a stick, you learned to pay attention. The younger drivers rarely know how to drive stick and usually pay more attention to their phone than what is around them. They are caught up in the social media accounts instead of what is in front of them on the road.
Looks like the first guy at the JD Dealer didn't get the loader quick-attach properly lined up with the plow brackets.
It was a completely different attachment.
Those are accumulators
Prolly saw the rollin coal in Utah. Fugitive now.
If your talking about rounddbouts Pennsylvania on that trip now,and most arent truck friendly
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.❤️
it's obvious.
a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance, it's better to take risks and make sacrifices than to stay poor
I agree but finding a professional for guidance ain't as easy as it sounds. cause I've been searching for one
Well I must say people are scared because there are so many unprofessional brokers out there.
I think I'm blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Marie wood
YES! that's exactly her name (Marie Wood ) | watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about her
she is an expert and I'm just starting with her from Ontario Canada🇨🇦.
Steve sorry you had to go through that with damn state police I’m sure it was a little inconvenient for you, but I am glad nothing happened to you
A friend of mine is a huge bee keeper. They move their bees between California and South Dakota. He stays away from the scale inspections for the most part because they move the bees at night. They are in the hives with a mesh tarp over them. Do you know what a truck load of bees looks like when it goes into a brightly lit inspection shed? Not good! If the guys in the scale house are not getting along with the inspectors, they will send the trucks in for inspection, just to be mean to the inspectors.
Been haulin bees for many years from north Dakota to California never had that happen
Most times they want me out as soon as possible
i call it the eld creep!!
Yes, that is how they keep track of the Ton/mile tax you pay in Colorado. Also that is why most trucks have the last 8 of the VIN number on the right side of the vehicle, so they can enter it as you go through the scales, except for large fleets like LTL carriers etc.
They did away with the tonmile tax years ago
That vin thing is just an excuse to pull you in. We ran through Colorado for years with vin on sides of truck. They still pulled us in every time until we got prepass.
What app is it use, love the speed on corner
My personal opinion on automatics, great in stop and go traffic, pretty good in snow and ice, has breed anyone who thinks they can drive to come out and mess up an already screwed up freeways.
Should be mandatory that anyone going through truck school MUST learn on a manual.
If you have company GPS they are tracking you as well, so you gave that right up when you accepted the job.
What did you do orwell ,you didn't spot there pavement did you ,a Harley would of marked it's spot.😮😅❤
Ha ha dam u had the same thing happen to you. I swear each time i go through Colorado the weigh stations was always closed. Or the side of the highway i am on that weigh station would be closed. And the other side ( Incoming highway side) that side would be open) And i was coming through Colorado to pick up a load. I was hauling a flatbed trailer with split axles. And everybody was going through and getting the green light a few of them was wide load. And it came to my turn and they flashed turn and come in with your CDL Documents and Log Book. I was like nope called the State Highway Patrol and they came and went with me and they seen my dash cam of all the semi's going. And the State Highway Patrol Officer was like why did u flag him to park and come in while u had a trailer that looked like he was passed his legal limit to gain access to go through. That worker ended up getting fired. And the State Highwa Patrol caught up with the driver's who should have been stopped and fined. The one with the wide load lost the load due to documents being incorrect. They had to shut down that weigh station until they could get help training new people. I never went that way again.
A few COE's hitting the advertisements in CA now that they only be registered as an RV.
Yeah you would have taken a right when you got off the 70 it's the acorn aka ta
Steve your GoPro is kinda dark cause your headlights look kinda dim ,just asking !!!!
Any chance you can update your camera which gives better cover at night...Is a new GoPro available....gives you 100% better coverage in low light...just a thought fella...good luck..cheers
I've never met a "nice guy" in a chicken house. I've met plenty of nice guy diesel bears though
Commies!
🍭SWEET🍭God Bless🙏🏼💖👍🏻🌞
Pilot thats new to me
DOT/FMcsa say Company name (can be abbreviated) DOT number, license plate and two ifta stickers are all you need. Thats al ive ever put on any of my 6 trucks.
Its nationwide. Those cameras on the side of the interstate track all movements.
I know, hes an owner operator, hes going to call dispatch and see if they have a load for him, the money he looses by doing that is amazing, im on the other hand on my own, looking for my own loads, i do my own paperwork, im just not willing to give up that extra money, if they have good paying load it may offset it, stay strong guys
Are snowchains for getting you into trouble or out of trouble?
E-log crawl I call it
The plow unloading was painful to watch. The larger loaders quick attachment is about 3" wider than the 544 . Could have still been able to unload it but they looked like office boys. 😊
Sometimes the best thing is sit and watch.
Most thing regarding Orwellian things depends on the telecom functioning, and the leading supplier of telecom. See DOJ case "Ericsson Agrees to Pay Over $1 Billion to Resolve FCPA Case"
Lol grand forks lol wow 😂😂😂 grand junction colorado lol
Never see a truckin dog ....
The unload crew works hourly.
What's the squeaking noise in the truck when you're stopped when you're turning
You'll appreciate a diverging diamond when you have to make a left turn out of one. You don't have to stop and wait for oncoming traffic. There are no extra traffic lights/stops to get through if you're going straight through. Did you notice how easy it was to make that left turn onto the highway in the middle of the diverging diamond? You didn't have to wait for traffic coming from your left. You didn't have to stop at a red light when there was no traffic coming from your left.
It's not my first. I'm not a fan of driving on the wrong side of the road.
@@fsctrucking Which is worse? Diamonds or Roundabouts?
Divergent diamonds are a horrible idea. To change which side of the road to drive on, if only for a hundred yards or so is absolutely insane.
Driving takes a little patience. Those that don't like waiting for traffic are the problems. Synchronized traffic signals can move traffic efficiently and at a substantial cost savings.
It's the reduction in conflict points,ctye reduction of accidents by 33% and the reduction in fatalities by 60%. It's data that has been collected.
@@johnmcleodvii -- A lot of the "savings" might be from the lower speeds and driver confusion causing every lower speeds. I grew up in a city (DC) with a LOT of traffic circles. These modern circles are like children's toys in comparison. I have no problem zooming through a circle. Vehicles that were right behind me when I enter are hard to find in my mirror once I settle down after exiting the circles. When folks get more used to circle and "divergents" the accident rates will go up as folks take turns at max speeds.
stupid question. is orwell power steering or Armstrong steering?
Every state tracks every Semi. Cameras on all freeways. Troopers can track you from the first camera to your current or last camera check.
Any you think that's OK?
MHC Kenworth is on that road
Been through here multiple times. No issues. Why you?
how it going STEVE ,
a driver was trying to tell me you do not need that vin number, I say you do NOT know anything about trucking , you just a steering wheel holder , I test drove a automatics in a Peterbilt and you girly boys can have them , the way they shif they junk to me , Now in the 80s these guys had the 9 speed Allison automatic they were pretty bad ass , Well that was the longest 4 minutes I ever rode with you Steve 😂😂 I see you use your tractor brakes when you park all the time, I don't I use my trailer but a lot of guys use the tractor , ever place I upload Supervisor never has a pen I always got to give him a pen 😂😂
be safe take care yourselve out there STEVE
I won’t come to that state in my rig
I thought you were no longer required to have the VIN on the side of the truck?
What navigation app are you using?
Not first time I've seen this. Connection, not what machine is.
A few vids on here.
They have tracked for years if you have vin on the side your usually fine
I don't have them on my truck
@@kelvintorrence5994then you’ll get pulled into the scale every time
I never had or would I put my vin number on the side of my truck. I heard about a guy in Florida that had a big custom built truck Vin number on the side and somebody used that Vin number to get a loan for $80,000 on the truck. They didn’t even own a
You only put the last 8 digits. It takes more than that to pull the fraud you describe.
Shit if Steve would start including bathroom breaks in the vids he could have milked this trip’s conte lbt out till at least 1st of March… lol…!
Colorado is corrupt from the floor up, my nephew couldn't even buy a muffler online because he lived there.
What do you expect it is a racist republican dictator state.
So much for the land of the free .If you want to live in a free country then move to canada. 😂
you need to get brighter headlights on that thing i can barely see the road
Steve why do you flip jake break off every time you down shift ??? John Taylor
He wont get the micro switch fixed for the accelerator.
No dash lights?
Get a weigh station transponder. Do the dot inspection to get approved. Get a green light to pass on most weigh stations. If they pull you in, if your weight is good off you go.
With a transponder. I got one red light in 12 months of driving, majority of lower 48. Almost made it out of utah into nevada. Rinky dink had nothing better to do. Probably seen that I had not had a dot inspection other than the qualification one.
Did them no good, passed. At first was worried, because I had a 1 - 1.5 hour buffer to get to Wendover for a 34 reset. Fortunately only delayed my arrival at Wendover Rainbow Truckers Lounge & Casino. Steak & Bourbon was just as good an hour later.
Did not want to do a 34 reset in Utah. To many rules!
Yea, the transponder costs. In the heavy presence weigh station states. Pays for it self. Not having to wait in line, & hope for no red light!
