A day in the life of a heavy haul trucker | Drove My broken truck 1000 miles to get fixed

[@heatherbeane3234]

Glad you made it glad you have a shop you can trust that is very important. Doggy needs a doggy spa day

[@jellyjust4676]

My Father was a trucker for 40 years and showed me that I needed to file a grove around the axle near the cap, reason being that when your axle breaks it will break at the file point, he told me when they were moving rigs they would break axles all the time, the worst was on the 4640 top drive diffs, he just said you only ever forgot to file the axle once cause it was a major tear down to retrieve the axle stub out of the diff, The best is the older Mack trucks cause they uses a floating drive axle,

[@hawkeye7834]

That's really good nothing else but you know how much force it takes to snap one of them axles wow glad you are getting it fixed and back on the road stay safe

[@kygambler22]

Worked on trucks for 35 years.....would never advise anyone to do what you did, That said if you pulled the axles and driveshaft I would tell you to drive it wherever if empty and don’t jerk it around as you’re running on power divider only....Good luck in the new year. Enjoy your videos

[@elijames3041]

Thanks for the all great comments and stay safe and I love your truck nice job

[@sixpapavictor]

Always good to have folks that treat you right, do good work, and are reasonable on their prices. I got some good friends who live in and around Robertsdale. I pray we all have a good 2021. Blessings to you and your family.

[@bigdawgsbusa2]

Good deal brother good shops and mechanics are hard to find that you can trust.

[@darkbeer9928]

I used to stop there in 2002 when we were moving D8's from Nola to Miami They had damn good homemade onion rings on a onion ring tower and home made coconut cream pie

[@nicholashosslogan3444]

[@andrewknotts7806]

First heavy haul truck I’ve ever saw with flex air suspension

[@beverlystarcher8522]

Good to see you got "outcast" fixed and hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Excited to see more videos

[@catherinemorris908]

Happy New Year Erik! Good to see everything is fixed and you will be back on the road!

[@demastros8438]

You inspired me to make it a goal to join heavy haul....I’m in flatbed and I am within reach...I went from doing my research in trucking, made it a mission to get my CDL, joined a trucking company that’s big on safety and reliable equipment to get my experience on routes, strapping, permits, and much more. You can do anything if you really want it and put your mind to it. I will eventually create my you tube channel but really want to THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION BROTHER.

[@HeavyHaulNation]

Hell I appreciate you looking at me for inspiration. Just keep your mind on the goal and you’ll be doing it before you know it!

[@jediesel44]

Why’s the live stream video private or am I missing something love the content

[@jaymack4758]

Happy new year...welcome back...safe journey...all the best...yes sir

[@Robert-xv2oj]

Robertsdale AL, that's where I get all my CB work done. Good to hear that you didn't grenade the rear end driving down there.

[@ronpatterson5483]

Let’s all hope for better 21!!!!!

[@vegaslimoguy2376]

Hope you had a nice holiday Erik, i had a nice 18 day break, now hitting it hard again. Take care buddy!! 🚛🚛

[@mikekeierleber2192]

Good to hear it wasn’t to bad , stay safe out there .

[@michelbrodeur6055]

I've been told that when you've dodged a bullet like that you had more luck than brains so nuff said. Awaiting more videos when they are ready and Good Luck down the road.

[@jerrysantos6484]

I am so happy that is all it was. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@taffyjones57]

Happy New Year to you Erik, I am very happy that "Outcast" is back on the road.

[@thescrambler6684]

I’ve been there, awesome people.

[@MrElfman93]

Just subbed. I’ve got the blue Coronado backed in the shop right now. Be safe out there 🤙

[@jcsully]

Love the silver metallic lube oil!!! Lol. Better than a ring and pinion failure.

[@cripticgatekeep]

I worked for a heavy haul company out of Montana that would change the pumpkins out every 100k to 150k miles whether it needed it or not

[@davidbreman2494]

Erik glad everything worked out for you, I was wondering when you were going to do another video I look forward to seeing more videos in2021. Hey also you never announced who you were going to haul for surprise us let us know how happy you are to move on.

[@matthewmccormick2417]

Glad it wasnt worse. Old Man upstairs looking out for ya

[@HeavyHaulNation]

Yes he was...

[@truckdriver6227]

I do all my own repair work for our trucks, including engine overhauls. They treated you very well. More than can be said for most shops on the road. Btw I would have driven it to a shop I trusted. If it didn't grenade in 10 miles it will go 1000 on a break like that. Usually anyway.😉👍

[@carlosaguirre1313]

My Friend Good afternoon Happy New year for you and your family. You were Lucky on this issue , I dont see nothing wrong travel to the shop

[@imtimrich]

Not a bad price 🇺🇸 for a big repair

[@oscarzhang9474]

Heeeeeey you back .😅😅 💪💪

[@frklein1]

Good for you, brother!

[@kevinschafer6791]

I spent the whole video wandering if you’d been there and were heading home this past Wednesday the 6th. Could have sworn I saw your truck and trailer rolling eastbound where I was going west towards my next pickup

[@HeavyHaulNation]

Naw. I made it home for Christmas and New Years! I didn’t leave the house until the 6th and now I’m back in Robertsdale at the shop waiting to get my load this week!

[@catdaddy3728]

Just curious, what was going on when the axle broke? Wet boot on clutch pedal? Haha!, kidding but were you in a high torque situation, or wheel spinning? Very cool content, looks like very interesting work. I have 30+ yrs gas tanker work... R G N work looks like more fun... still out in the weather, but...

[@carlosaguirre1313]

Because the Road assist or the wrecker nock your head. Be safe Regards Carlos Aguirre

[@snoopdogie187]

Broken axle isn't bad. On my daily driver, I went for at least a month before I got around to fixing it. Worst part was I think I had the part for awhile, and I just didn't want to waste the time to fix it then. The worst part was that with one axle able to free spin, I couldn't park on an incline without it rolling. Minor details, I drove for over a year with reverse, which is a little more challenging.

[@HeavyHaulNation]

😂😂

[@firemedicseven]

You' re in my area. We go to Styx River shooting range weekly. Its down that road across the street from the Oasis.

[@HeavyHaulNation]

Everytime I’m there me and my buddy AJ (my mechanic) and my other buddy Brent from the shop go over there and shoot on their days off! In fact I left one of my 12 gauges with my buddy so I always have a gun to go shooting when I’m in town!

[@firemedicseven]

@@HeavyHaulNation We shoot a few rounds of skeet a week there. Good times. Hard to find cheap 12 g right now though.

[@TheDesertdawg1]

Scary thought, when the repair shop gives you a personal parking spot they are expecting you to come back often.... I thought the goal was to stay away from repair shops ... haha haha....

[@gavinnutting1003]

Impressive.

[@davehillier4827]

Beautiful rig

[@frklein1]

Happy New Year!

[@81fajr]

Santa came early and gave you a broke axle instead of a differential 😂

[@airdad5383]

That was an easy fix. I thought it would be something worse.

[@truckingwithjr]

Love the videos, what kind of camera do you use in the truck

[@HeavyHaulNation]

You are very very lucky

[@albertjefferson2488]

Yeah them trucks are a lot of money if I owned one I just wouldn't let anybody work on them a good diesel mechanic is hard to find

[@johndeere700h9]

Eric where are you come on man where’s the videos? Missing your videos are you back out trucking?

[@johnhoffman8203]

Were we a little heavy on the clutch to snap an axle like that?

[@HeavyHaulNation]

Wasn’t on the clutch backed into a building and the trailer high centered the top of the ramp

[@Train-Sim-Drives-UK]

Can I be the first to comment.... HELLO EVERYONE!!!

[@comebackonthis247]

Which idea did you use to make it to the shop?

[@HeavyHaulNation]

Locked in the diff lock and rolled on!

[@comebackonthis247]

Lol. I was wondering. Like I said last video. I've chained up the rear axle and removed the rear driveshaft before. Gotta do what ya gotta do. Good job

[@1999beetle1]

Love your videos but would rather hear the engine than the music in the background

[@jeffsutton950]

Who are you leased to now?

[@kenprevatt1267]

Yup I was correct ..Lol

[@9983sp]

Robertsdale, you're way down in LA.
