Am fighting cancer right now so I can’t do much. I look forward to seeing your video every day. So thanks Tom
Good luck man! I wish you nothing but the best! 🙏
@@CPSteveMiller thanks brother
Prayers for you tom. Keep fighting..
Thanks 🙏
You've come a long ways since if been watching, you sure ain't afraid to work, just keep doing what works for you.
Steve if you can get the cdl w/ the air brakes. If not you’ll have a restriction on your license and if you want to change it you’d have to take the test again.
Avoid the huge pain in the ass later if you can by just getting the regular cdl w brakes.
When you opened that F350 hood I saw confirmation why I won't buy new...I'll stick with my 99's that I can work on!
Agreed. I own a E99 F250 manual and a L99 F350 auto. Both sclb. I plan on dually swapping my F250
STEVE
YOU DONT HAVE TO JUSTIFY ANYTHING YOU DO OTHER THAN TO YOURSELF. I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS 📹, AND WANT YOU TO EXCEL.
IM NOT A TRUCK DRIVER BUT YOU ARE WRIGHT ABOUT JAMMING ON YOU BRAKES AND RELEASE,IT IS ON THE CDL TEST. ( KEEP ON TRUCKIN )
Florida considers you a straight truck since you have a bed on the truck. Make sure you are 68 feet in length or under, if not you need to purchase a blanket permit. They’re only about $30 and are good for 12 months.
If your over 68 feet it’s a $1000 fine.
Also if you didn’t know, don’t blow by the agriculture stations, they’ll chase you down.
I'm only 67ft so that's good to know.
Stab braking is how I was taught to brake when going down hills. As well as being in a lower gear.
Realistically you can pickup a older semi for same if not less then the 3rd gen 5500 you want
Preference. For my personal needs the 5500 makes more sense for the future plans I have is all. Nothing against a semi!
What about medium duty trucks. Bigger frame and brakes and tires
I don't want to work on big stuff. I had an fl60 and an international. I'll take a 4500/5500 all day
Always happy to see a new video up everyday!! KILLING IT!!
Money,money,money. Happy your on your way up!!
I personally will own a newer ford powerstroke but I of course will make a few parts fall off 🤣
Ur gonna make me get a Cummings brother because the Chevy/gmc , dodge, Ford… Silverado’s used more brake applications than Ford and dodge
Dude I used to live in Lancaster lmfaooo! Brooo stay away from manehiem and lebanon lol
I drive a Chevrolet dually 2021 model for hot shotting and I love the exhaust brake on it I was just in Arizona last week going down 7 and 8% grades and I would manually put the truck into like 8th gear because it's a 10-speed automatic and I never even had to touch the brakes
Hi Steve, Hope all is well.
WHEN you take your CDL tests may I suggest you take the Air Brake Endorsement Test.
It doesn't cost any more (at least it doesn't here) and you never know WHEN you might need it spur of the moment.
I had in my career a few times when something came up that let me take a one time trip or short term employment to keep money coming in because I took extended endorsement tests. Be flexible by having the endorsements that make sense. I would never have taken the triples test and its only 16 questions but at a bare minimum do the air brake endorsement test. Be prepared in case some unforeseen thing happens. Good luck, stay safe out there and prosper.
You're trailer deck is #7 grating. I use it on my hay wagon decks. Keep up the great work!
Get a 5500, and put a bed on it, and a sleeper. Booyah 👊🏽😁 Custom CP Rig.
czcams.com/video/-48eKO-s4GA/video.html
This is just an idea of a dually.
czcams.com/video/vpq9G50xwsA/video.html
This one is just silly. But a 5500 that long could fit a regular truck sleeper.
czcams.com/video/gnfcnmgPQvo/video.html
Plenty of new drivers will stab too much and loose all their air, we haul 105,500 double flatbed on Washington with some of the gnarliest grades, my pops always taught me after 2 stabs it's best to hold slight pressure all the way down the hill, I've never had a problem with them heating that way. I've heard of plenty rookies at big companies who stab too much and loose all their air and boom runaway truck ramp exit 🤣. As long as your breaks are in good order and adjusted properly you should never have a problem
Banks supposed to be best intake out their
Yea! But I was looking at the rear springs. The only difference I could see between the 2500 and the 3500 was a helper spring. All the rest of the spring packs are the same.
Yep! The 3500 just adds an overload on the top is all. I feel they're pretty useless though. I reverse leveled mine so there's no overloads at all. Just air bags. It takes a lot of weight to get it to squat
That was nice pay for the haul. Keep it up u will get there in the time that is write for u. Kiss off on all the haters. If they don't like Powell let them go hate someone place. U take the time u need to get to the place u want to be with the family and the business. Not every one has the money nor the means to get it in one second. I'll be patient and watch u. It's good to seem one like u taking ur time and putting family first and still growing as fast as u want too. Thank bro and have a good week coming up.
I love your tow truck hook chains at the end of your winch line, stay safe with summer storm, I mean tropical storm Fred this weekend in Florida
They're called bridals if you want to pick one up on Amazon. They're a life saver!
The other thing I can suggest is a pac brake or some other form of exust brakes Service brakes are only good till thay boil. Just as a safety net it’s good to have one even light loads it makes a huge difference even with an 2000pound load in the bed I can tell a huge difference in control when I run the pac brake vs not running it
One step at time it will come together b safe safe travels
Aww you left out all the good stuff. You dealing with problems and finding solutions
Jake's have been out since maybe the 60's? I'd love to see the 12v with Jake's 💪
Yes that’s on your CDL test. It will be 1 gear lower to descend the hill on the test.
you use the same gear going down as you go up...that's actually on the permit test for general knowledge. You set your safe speed...say 45mph. You use your breaks until you hit 40mph then let off...5mph less than your safe speed. Now, obviously we have OWN ways of doing but thats the answer to the test question. I just took it 2 weeks ago.
Steve your videos are amazing thanks. God bless you
👍🏽👍🏽 keep up the great work. It’ll all come together
Could you make a video on how to know where to place vehicles on the trailer for weight distribution? Thanks man!
Steve that's correct but it's called stab Breaking. Truck drivers used that method
I have a 36 ft enclosed Trailer, I would like to do hot shot dropping on the side. I have a 1 ton first Gen. Dodge with the Commons.I have my c.D.L B Is that do you have any advice for me
Get the CDL A or just keep your gcwr under 26,001
The cluster should be the same from 02-04. The old style the newer style 04.5-06 then i believe 07-09 have a different plug set up
That CDL test is easy just go on line and take the practice test before taking the real one . Once you see how easy it is takes away all the stress 😉👍👍🇺🇸
Pre trip is the hardest part. Was for me anyway
You don’t need to (really you need to not) put your mc# on the truck...
The marking rules no longer allow federally regulated for-hire carriers to continue displaying their Motor Carrier (MC) number instead of the USDOT number for identification. The regulations do not require removing the MC number, but carriers are encouraged not to display it on new or repainted CMVs.
You have to have the dot and company name at a minimal. The mc and any other info is optional. I think the city is also required. My New labels have all that plus vin and gcwr
Being as you filled the 43ft wagon with 2 trucks...dont know if a wedge would haul 3 would it? If not a cdl would just mean extra taxes an more paperwork for not much more return in my eyes. But you wouldnt worry about weight. But i say it you thin some of the tools out you could probably gross more. The bumper an fuel tank alone probably eats 1k. But i can see the benefit for them both. Chains an binders I would probably leave them, especially with the tire straps. But if you can scale that load now legally with your set up then I'd say wind me up an watch me go cause I wouldnt change nothing.
The chains are for things with missing wheels. But I've mentioned I'm going cdl soon. With a 5500 and this trailer that's 40,500 gcwr. Never worry about weight again
Love Coudersport. Did you pick that up from kightlinger? Usto have property and a camp there. Those trucks up there get hammered extra hard from salt for some reason. I see new ones rusted out up there. Doesn't help most of the roads are dirt and no maintenance.
That's where I picked up. They were quick and to the point. No complaints here
@@CPSteveMiller thats right across from the motels and market a family friend usto own. Literally everyone ive met up there is super nice. It's nothing like around where I live in pa or any other parts of pa I've been in.
LOL length laws are the least of your worries. Yet again on today's load of another overweight load! Also you have other illegal stuff. Like the welded in 5th/gooseneck the wheel spacers making you wider than the legal 102in
Now you're just making up stuff. I don't have wheel spacers on my truck. Nice try though 🤣 Not that it matters. You're opinion doesn't pay my bills. The dot officers that pass me through every inspection say otherwise. Don't like what you see, there's a way not to watch😂
@@CPSteveMiller Yes because you broke one lol. Also you and i both know that you are running illegal. That trailer and load is 2 much for a 3/4 truck. Like i said you havent ran across the right dot officer yet is all
Ran across many dot officers. They don't give a care if you're registered for it. That's all they care about. Funny I've driven from PA and I'm in Florida now and not one issue so far. Y'all keep talking and I still keep providing for my family while y'all watch🤷♂️ Why not go be a dot officer then? I've been to every state but Maine many times. Over 200,000 miles in this truck since I bought it.
If you come down 75 thru Gainesville Florida I got a winch remote from an old Kaufman I'll give ya let me know I'll send ya pic of plug. Trailers long gone but got the remote on a shelf.
Send me a message. I'm headed to Tampa after I drop in Miami tomorrow. Contacts are in the description!
fyi on some pickup trucks especially hd type they are too heavy over 10,001 requires a cdl to drive the new owners were so mad after finding out too late after purchase as dealers didnt tell them and loading those may tip weight to over 26k total
10,001 never requires a cdl unless you live in Cali. If you don't live in Cali it's 26,001 or above to need a cdl
@@CPSteveMiller i know im talking about those newer hd pickup trucks weight rating
Was the pay great for a 43ft Kauffman trailer ? I have CDL’s I should had went with a 53ft smh 🤦🏽♂️
It was okay. Nothing crazy. With these fuel prices now I sold it. Back then I could net 2500 to 3k weekly + youtube so add another 800 a week. Now it would be lucky to break even
@@CPSteveMiller yeahhh I might swap out trailers . You ran local only ? Fuel is ridiculous though
I ran east cost initially and then moved to local. That was back when it was somewhat affordable. $6.50 is the price in pa
Awesome! Keep up the good work buddy 💪🏻👍🏻
Yep, that new trailer looks like it’s going to pay off for you big time.
Kightlinger motors, Coudersport pa
how long is trailer
43ft deck with 3ft extensions
46 overall
Hey man I know you’re a good mechanic …I have a 1996 Chevy k1500 that was burping coolant and might’ve put the wrong coolant after a head gasket really dunno the full story since it’s my sons truck but wanna make a stack and help me pull a motor ??
I could give u my email
I don't have the time to work on vehicles anymore. I have an engine that needs done on one of my vehicles and there isn't enough time in the day. Sorry, man! Between that and 3 kids I wish the days were longer
@@CPSteveMiller ah I geddit! My man stay busy ! I’ll just keep hitting like and say what’s up every now and then
Since the other truck ran I would have backed it up got the Ford up to the front of the ramps and I would have just pulled it up on the trailer with it LOL but I understand you didn't want to strap in a strap but yeah at least you did have one running vehicle so nothing else could have pulled it up one with it
I wanted it setup the way I had it because the 350 drops first and it's too much tongue weight in my opinion. The 150 was the perfect tongue weight for a good ride
And the front Axl
I cant believe anyone uses stab breaking but to each their own. Luckily we dont all drive the same. also the jakes on the new trucks absolutely suck compared to the old trucks. I own both, understand Im not being critical of anyone here just a different driving technic. I learned on the west coast and alaska so there arent any mountains east of oklahoma compared to the west coast you use stab bracking on the west coast dropping of snoqualmie , cabbage, 4th of july you are wrecked if not dead or kill somone else of course montana is an exception they got mountains lol keep up the good fight
An exhaust brake or jake is of help I just don't have one😬
correct but you can buy jakes for your pickup
Yes sir pure heat 🙌🙌🙌😎🔥 🔥
How about a fire extinguisher and 2 of every fuse that you use?
What about them?
@@CPSteveMiller Just to have them as spares.
That's a requirement anyway. I even keep bulbs but they aren't a requirement. Weird
Going thats called 5 on 5 off not burn brakes up
Good video be careful out on the road
We are here even if you stay in the dodge till the end of time
I'm never getting rid of it but I do plan on a 3rd gen 5500
Family first man I❤️ Haters!!
you sure got your money from the drive shaft, OEM is best.
The 04 driveshaft from the factory was garbage. The 06 shaft had a before carrier and I'm loving it
Don't have to answer this but how much do you think you needed to get into hotshotting power only, looking to start at power only and work my way into freight like you did. Say I got the truck and trailer how much would I need to go get the paperwork side handled
I want to answer this question in better detail than I could type out. I'll feature this question in tomorrow's video because it's a really good one!

Get the truck wrapped
I asked you a question about copar over here do you haft to have an appointment to pick a car from viper now
No appointment needed but they have a whole thing you have to go through when you get there
@@CPSteveMiller I know of another CZcamsr he bought a Durango 2020 at one of them coparts over in the Northeast and they're telling him that his guys that haul the suv they haft to make an appointment and their are no appointment for weeks and the guy has also made appointment to have depart haul it and the management of footage told him that all the coparts are starting to make it to where you have to make an appointment now
Yeah I've never dealt with that but everyone hates copart
@@CPSteveMiller yes thanks keep up the great video work
why would someone pay good money to ship 2 very rusty probally what 10 year old ford trucks to florida? parts?
Idk. Ain't going to hear my complaining😂
😎👌👍👌👍Michael U.K.
Why would your logo say Cokato MN and not PA?
I'm leased under a company in Minnesota. You have to put the business state and city
Hey what’s up Great content and Do you still have the 32 foot trailer
That was just a lease. I don't have it anymore. I gave it back
OK cool where do they lease trailers
My company owner leased it to me. He wants it for his personal stuff
Deuce 👍👍👍👍
ill learn u a thing or 2 ... it wont be right but it may work ... just saying
Hasn’t rained all day except for 3 times...right?🙄
Yeah we have severe thunderstorms as I left pa. I swear it always rains when I pickup and then it's bright and sunny when I'm driving🤦♂️
Mine tells me I have 3-400 miles left to e when I'm on e lol also try to tell me I get 90mpg lol makes a guy wonder
Mine says 99mpg 🤣
@@CPSteveMiller hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 nice
Actually you up shift one gear then you climbed the hill
Dude please change the title of this video. :(
I wanna see an exhaust brake on this truck
Me too😂
Keep the exhaust...put a set of jakes on it
@@kalebrivers5260 Not sure of the availability of engine brake for 5.9 12v but they do make some for the 6.7 Cummins so he could have both
@@CPSteveMiller I really like mine on my third gen
@@elijahcavin2408 they make actual engine brake for the 5.9. Figured they offered one for the 12 but they dont. So you would be correct. Guess a man could add a butterfly valve in exhaust an make a exhaust brake that way.
What company are u with?
