Nice thumbnail!

When I started driving we had trip envelopes and trip sheets. You would fill in the miles driven in each state and highways driven on . Every time you crossed a state line you would write down the mileage on a notepad. Saw a guy at a table in a truck stop playing back a little hand held voice recorder and writing down his mileages. I thought that’s a good idea and at the time you could buy them in the truck stop so I got one. I still have that somewhere. Once you filled out your trip sheet with all your receipts you sealed the envelope and dropped it in a drop box at the truck stop and once the company received it you got paid. Things are a lot faster nowadays.

Thank You

Good video !!

Dd15 changing the crank case filter will help you have better oil pressure after half million miles I’ve run them both I know the maintenance and difference between the two dd15 and the dd13 the 13 is a fuel saver for flat lands lanes and the 15 will pull the hills better but both are realistically good I’ve had a dd15 vapor lock a driver didn’t warm it up and pulled out the yard and it locked it up on the outside of yard driver just turned the key and took off didn’t even care, I’ve had a driver pump 50 gallons of gasoline into a dd15 and it shut it down after a few miles away and it was a mess blowing out all the lines and everything towed it into the yard and pumped it out and it been running great

Hey Y’all 💖💖💖

Cool vid neighbor

Eddie just got back Monday morning from wild hog hunting in Florida..3 of them go down every January and have a good ole time 😂

We have see javelina pigs in Arizona. They are not as big as the one in your video…but they can really run!

Man them Lot Lizards in Texas are real pigs. It sucks leaving out early but you definitely see it in one’s numbers. I’ll do the same leave out early if I’m loading the next morning and start my clock at the shipper after a good nights sleep and have a full 14 to work with. I find once you leave the house in a rush then it’s a snowball effect after that.

Good music selection

Last time I was down there old Slick Willy Clinton was in Office.

44 quarts for a 14.9 litre ,,,,,,A c18 cat doesn't even take that much,,

Did you know if you just tap the menu button a few times it’ll take you to the idle menu?

Saw you doing this the other day!

the threaded caps with an o-ring should have no torque spec. the o-ring does the sealing, so just thread it down till it mates and stops. Torquing it past that can just crack the plastic

Good job

Will you build a heated shop someday?

I hate putting that primary fuel filter in. Always afraid of damaging the little plastic nub at the bottom. I mark the top of the filter housing in line with hole and do the same with top of filter . I put filter in and seat it and then put plastic cover on and tighten. The crowd I log for do that with all their DD’s as they had one break and caused all types of fuel starvation issues. I like your big shed and it’s about the same size as mine except I went for more snow on the floor. Good job but according to a guy on KZbin if you work on your own truck like me then this guy reckons “ we is broke ass owner operator MF’ers” Haven’t heard from that guy in awhile.

Please do a video showing your oil sample results. You get the kind of great MPG that allows oil to go 75,000 miles.

Sweet dodge. Who are you using for parts?

I reading an article on the MP8 Mack Volvo engine injector cups low life. This mechanic recommended this as a fix. Reducing your driving max hp. So that mimics your thoughts on saving engine wear. Be safe

At the time I drove a 350Z & i drove that route for 3 months, twice daily, when I 1st started working in M'boro.... it bout killed me, but I finally got moved. It's a cool drive, if you're not in too big a hurry.... Thanks for sharing.

Lynchburg is located in Moore County. For whatever reason, probably taxation or city services, the entire county is considered as the city limits of Lynchburg. I looked at a map and the line intersects 231 for a short stretch about half way between Winchester and Shelbyville. You probably entered the city of Lynchburg at that point even though you are probably a good 10 miles out of downtown. Nashville / Davidson County is the same way though it is a much larger city.

Love them roads like that. Those bloody safety warnings are a distraction rather than a safety aid. The radar on my one throws a crash alert when going east on the Mass Pike as the sun is setting and reflects off the Exit signs. Beep beep beep and you look down to see what all the commotion is.

I've been on that road, that's where I saw Sasquatch 😮

I’ll let you know from my end that every single one of your videos has helped me in some shape or form

I used to listen to that song on a cassette until the great roads of Arkansas chewed it up one night. No amount of rewinding if with a pen could get it to line up again.

I hope you was able to deliver and get out fast!

Good morning...cool video 👍

WOW...that could be a problem 😕

Thanks for sharing your 2025 goals. Thanks to the internet, I pulled up this quote from Lao Tzu, the ancient Chinese philosopher: "Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny." Pretty good advice and sounds like the changes/goals that you have in mind for yourself and your business for this year. You will get there. I've had a goal for nearly 2 years now to lose 30 pounds. I'm down 24 so far...it's not easy when you are coming up on 67 years old. But the actions and habits add up...I track all my calories. I've increased my protein intake. No alcohol in the past 9 months (that was really very easy). Goal to get 7 hours sleep/day (I don't sleep well). Fasting...I don't eat for 15 hours, then I consume my calories in a 9 hour time span. Track my movement with my FitBit...walked over 2,000 miles in 2024 (around 5.5 miles/day). Started running again. I'm playing the "long game" and will achieve my goals... Have a safe trip!

Glad to see this video. I told Dwayne today that I wondered where you were with this crazy weather and knowing you were headed south 😮 I figured you'd gotten into it

My goal is simply to make a profit like I used to trucking. 8 months down for last year will do that to you. In the red on profit gauges. Not good grasshopper. If intermodal doesn't straighten up pretty soon I am thinking of what to do instead. Not wanting to act too fast and regret so taking time to consider which way to go.

Will be interesting when you put the lift axle on what your MPGs will go to. I have set a goal to lose 20 pounds by April 1st this year, too much jiggle when I hit the expansion joints. With the furniture could you run loaded with the axle up or would you need to do a few stops first.

Mr. JP, I've been trying to figure out this type of cargo all day. Thank you for this video!!!

Didn’t know anything about this topic. Thanks for sharing

I was completely ignorant of Factoring until I heard KR talk about it years ago and when he broke it down like you did there I was thinking most people would steer away from it if they knew the actual cost to their business. I have heard from a few lads that trying to leave a factoring company is like trying to break up with a possessive girlfriend.

I highly recommend checking the cab leveling valve. My shocks did the exact same thing and what it turned out to be was the cab leveling valve kinda got crooked, and so it would allow the shocks to travel further than they were supposed to. You will be able to tell it needs to be replaced if you can move, the arm left and right

Jesus wept Johnny but I would throw out that mattress as the driver before you was doing a lot of work on the sleeper berth line with Commercial Company judging by the shocks. I spray Fluid Film on the fifth wheel in the winter time, softens the grease in the cold.

Sorry i missed it

Belgian Malinois dog

I missed your live! I'll tune in next Sunday!

Your being home is unusual but good to see you nevertheless in bc it’s winter but as usual good trucking weather

Another form of civil forfeiture.

Yes profit gauges is the best 19 bucks a month you will ever spend. Very easy to use also. If you don’t pay 90% of your tax liability they will charge you penalty and interest you are correct to pay quarterly. Do you use fuel gauges also? 😂have been using both for many years. Fuel gauges is free also to track your mpg and cost per mile for fuel. Awesome program.

Good information on a topic most people like to ignore.
