200,000 LBS VS THIS HILL

[@Steves_3D]

Your boss isn't paying you enough man !!! I'm a mechanic and I wish I had ten of you most guys would have blown something up lol

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

it happens. i still break stuff but not often

[@MarkSpalding-qc7ym]

Love those 4 speed auxiliary trans. Handy piece of kit

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

really makes a c5 winch truck

[@Jdigger4130]

Keeping that "Isspro" gauge right where she's supposed to be Spot. Tickled em w finesse drivvah. The heavy stuff n grades. KWs are MADE for grade and guys like ya! Being a Californian and knowing yer pyro was made in Sacramento brings me joy.

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

nice, yeah it stays put no matter what. i dont have to watch it at all

[@Jdigger4130]

@@TimelapseTruckerRTOT Keep er safe and coming Spot! So glad I've watched channel grow! Great soundtracks! Cheers

[@devonte3062]

That split from high to low range had me sweatin

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

the big one...... yeah i think about it every time. still drop to third once or twice during a trip cause i miss.

[@leejarabek5510]

Yep, same here. 5th-3rd. I hate 4th when climbing heavy.

[@pathorsman2992]

Nother great vid, I’m thankful for the ol truckers who taught me and the advice I gained. Best one was how to drop two gears when heavy hill pulls. Thanks for all you do. Be safe

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

thanks, i took me awhile to break that habit too, was half shifting the gear just to drop another immediately

[@stevenmacintyre5912]

That's how it's done son!

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

thanks

[@paulw3714]

Quick and smooth shifts!

[@davekostyniuk429]

Nice smooth climb I was wondering how much boost you were making then you magically showed us

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

usually 38-39 psi. cool days i get over 40 just.

[@brandonman2020]

900s the magic number 👌 Makes me miss running 10 axles out here in BC with my cranked up pete

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

its awesome that way, never gets over 925 ish, needle just at the edge of 900. no matter what im doing, shes good at pulling for sure, would love more power but it never breaks so this is good here

[@heatherfraserdaley460]

I was down that road in June, man is it rank. It has to be one of the worst highways right now in Alberta. Hopefully the province gets that fixed up in the next few years. That route sure saves a bunch of time headed to GP.

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

it nice on both ends.... but that middle holy shit does it suck, the c5 front end is firm and really smashes me around in there even at 90 kph. with a coil we always have to go down there. i do like 70kph

[@DanielKazlauskas]

I know that highway like the back of my hand. Ran it with a truck and quad wagon for 8 years hauling aggregate from a gravel pit by Entwistle to a concrete plant in Mayerthorpe. 6 trips a day. Knew where every bump was lol. Nice driving for that road

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

worst section i have to deal with multiple times a week. i couldnt imagine 6 trips a day

[@scruffy6151]

Morning.

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

morning.....

[@pistol05142000]

Like a Boss! Nice!

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

Thanks!

[@ctibpo991]

Last video I'm wondering why we never see any wildlife. Today 2 moose. Some smooth driving there.

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

ive cut way back on driving footage, there's always deer and the odd mouse, coyotes , fox, skunks, porcupine, that's about the norm, besides deer i don't see much usually

[@terencechevalier5756]

they ever repave from matheythorpe towards entwhistle yet lol that rd sooo bad last summer coming back from rocky i ended up taking 16 to niton junction to whitecourt lol😅

[@Unknown_Trucker78]

It's still crappy

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

no its been shit as long as ive been driving, it needs it so badly. i go out of my way 25 minutes some times to avoid it

[@davecollins6113]

There was a time when Hwy 22 wasn't paved, even more fun back then.

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

dam. that would be a journey, im sure there was some grades too

[@leejarabek5510]

Your steering is nice and centered like mine! hahaha

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

i likes crooked so my hand rest just right and my pointy elbow sits just right on the arm rest. its a whole thing i know

[@leejarabek5510]

@@TimelapseTruckerRTOT ahhh, ok.

[@andrewburridge2955]

Like u said....NICE

[@BDOutdoorsCanada]

The Alberta highways are in the worst state of repair that I've ever seen them in, glad I'm not running 44,000 lb rubber block suspension!

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

rubber block and walking beam most bed trucks here, but you have the length, and usually only going 80kph, but theres lots of trucks i drove both spring and rubber over the years, tires off the ground when empty a lot of times thru the day, the roads are horrible. especially the ones we drive every day

[@BDOutdoorsCanada]

@ back when I was running rubber blocks, I often pulled a 16 wheel double drop fruehauf with no suspension at all! It wasn’t too bad loaded but empty that thing would just about throw you out of you seat with every little bump!

[@ShannonJanzen]

Sounds awesome

[@kentallard589]

YEWWWW!!!🖖🏽

[@colinkulasik1128]

What's that green indicator light on your tach that kept coming on and off?

[@davekostyniuk429]

Engine fan kicking on

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

yes fan, pulling inclines, theres a lot of fan

[@FlapjackFly]

I had a 535 that would bark when I punished it.

Gotta let er eat like an Ethiopian at the buffet🤙🏻 #cumminslife

[@keaton0707]

👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@BuckingHorse-Bull]

why does it sound so violent in between shifts.. sounds like it has a blow off valve..you can hear almost everything

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

so much boost it shoots back thru the air cleaners. high boost tune. truck gets 10 more psi over factory, but any truck will do that loaded up full boost lower or higher rpm, we cummins and cat anyways

[@scottmagruder9157]

Cat, Cummins, Detroit?

[@ROAMinstuie420]

Its a weight reduced x15 I believe

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

cummins

[@TimelapseTruckerRTOT]

no just 550 / 2250
