It's not a "impact drill" ? It's a Impact wrench, also that's not an "o-ring"on the axle, it's a flange gasket. O-rings are internal and round in cross section. You are also wrongly calling the flange axle washers, "o-rings" Other than the ignorance in identifying tools and parts, it's an excellent vid.

Definitely need to learn the names of things you're using. Those "bolts" on the axle are "nuts". Those gaskets aren't O-rings and the bras washers aren't O-rings. That isn't a brake chamber, it's a caging bolt to release the brakes when no air is supplied. Yes, knowing names of things is extremely important...otherwise, good video

@Veganwill....if you want just "delivered and go", that you better stick to single-unit drive-away, but that pays a whole lot less (or, is it a whole less lot...lol). That said, if my drivers don't at least do a proper "don't shoot the messenger" inspection (the inspection to prove that any damages to the unit upon delivery, where already pre-existing)...and treat the unit as if it was their baby, I guarantee it will not be just delivered & go, it will more likely be "don't let the door hit you in the back". The cost of damage claims are in many cases far exceeding the revenue a drive-away company makes on delivering trucks from the OEM to the dealers. It can be done without causing damage (both outside and inside), but you must treat the vehicle as if you just put a U$125.0K check on the factory counter when you picked it up.

Is it better to put the 1 1/2 size saddle bolts back or forward..i always thought the solid side of the saddle was to the back so the truck axle would rest on it not in the bolts. Just asking wich is the proper way becauze im not sure.thanks for the video bro.keep it up.
@andrep8287
@andrep8287 8 ай бұрын
@babloacosta717....the J-bolts (1 1/2 " size) must always face back-wards, i.e. the nuts are in the front. The reason for the "must" word, is that saddle-mounts are subject to the cargo-securement regulations, which - among other rules - state that a load must be secured to withhold 80% of the weight towards the front; 50% of the load-weight towards either side and towards the back, and 20% of the weight upwards. Thus, during a hard-brake application, your saddle-mount attachment must withhold approx 8,000 lbs of forward pressure on a 2-way, about 16,000 lbs of forward pressure on a 3-way and about 24,000 lbs of forward pressure on a 4-way. That's why you want the - as you call it - solid side of the saddle to face forward. That said, the only time where you have no other choice but to turn the saddle around is when your decked truck has a deep oil-pan, where having the saddle turned the proper way, won't give you the required clearance of 6" between the bottom of the oil-pan and the saddle. In such cases you will be obliged to turn the saddle backwards, but in these cases, you'll make damn sure to avoid hard-brake applications (anything stronger than 15 psi of brake application is considered a :"hard-brake" application. Normal braking should usually be <5 psi of pedal pressure.

Hey I know nothing about the driveaway business and need to get more information on what to expect for pricing. I'm with an OTR van carrier in CA and we just bought 20 sleeper tractors in SC so they need to be moved to our terminal in CA. We did receive one quote from the dealer we made the purchase from and it sounds extremely high so I need to find out what the industry standard/norm is. Also is it slow like OTR is right now or completely different? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you

I have a crazy thought process so I know I could do this job once I learned the base part. Do you train? I make Great money , and there isn't all that much room to advance any further financially, but I believe there is potential going this route.

Then I became that driver, at crst me and my co driver would run 8500 a week, we ran 3.5 weeks strait on recap pulling over 8000 miles a week. I made sure my truck was ranked #1 under my dispatcher. I did not sit. I wanted to run and I showed i could do it. I'm a high mileage killer.

Explain to me why it's your job to undeck? Appreciate the video for sure. But just another way companies get out of doing crap. Companies always find a way to offload work and save money. If you're like everyone else you get paid by the mile. Guess you could look at it as part of the job if you are getting paid by the load. You clearly enjoy your job and that's awesome, I'm not afraid of work, but that seems pretty insane. I truly don't have facts, but I'm guessing employers don't really pass on any of the extra profits pulling more trucks. Now i don't expect you to tell me the pay as much as I really want to know, I bet they don't even add .10 cpm for every extra rig. So you can make .90 cpm for 1 truck, but what, make 1.05 delivering 4 trucks? And company takes all that juicy extra money while you do all the work and deal with all that down time. They definitely need to make it lucrative for a driver. Why drive 4 at 1.10 when I can do one for .90 and don't have to undeck? I'm making up numbers, iirc a long time ago I talked to a company who pulled 2 at a time and it was really a joke in pay. I can't remember what they said about piggy back but company I talked to it wasn't worth doing. I would say the whole reason anyone is interested in this is for more money, when I started out I thought it would be cool but that's it. I mean shoot if it was like a 1.30 a mile fuel paid, now we are talking. 1.40 I'm switching jobs right now. But we all know there's no way. If any company can pay .90 for a single, discount the others to who knows at least .6 .7 would be available in driver profit, of course that would never happen and I wouldn't expect that, but even .2 every truck .3 would be nuts. Can't imagine a buck 80 a mile. I would run my ass off. Just like those rip off trailer companies, 1.60 a mile but if you get a 3rd one on trailer they only pay .30 cpm. Scam artist rip offs. Whole reason getting a big enough trailer is to be able to make that extra profit and actually make it worth being out here. So tired of everyone out here ripping everyone off.
