ACS - Moving Forward!

One week after the T800 caught fire, ACS is moving forward and busier than ever!

Tony was all smiles running the old auto car. Rose your a natural when it comes to this kind of work.

Kudos to that driver that had the camera, safe following distance and did a great job reacting.

Absolutely

When you load your trailer and do that finishing pat down...it looks like you're frosting a cake. Awesome, it shows you care about everything you do. That ol Autocar out working that's Fantastic! No barn princess there.

Mike Rosy did an AWESOME JOB well done

[@EdmondBouchard-sy3ml]

Back in the 90s I drove a payloader at a junk yard. On Saturdays Customers would have their kids with them the kids would see me from the parking lot, and I would be crushing cars with the loader and stacking the cars on top of each other and putting them in a pile the kids loved it.

[@ronthompson3525]

Another outstanding video Mike, the trip to Kenworth should be fun. Yep your right lowbed work no matter how good you are is dirty work. Special shout out to Rose nice work. Stay safe out there ✌️and grease.

Rose is awesome, we have a gal at my LTL company named Rianne, she is a solo Regional driver, used to be an AG hauler! They could be sisters. Love the videos Mike, I wish companies like Cardillo existed where I am (Alberta Canada) but here there is no pride in dump or construction at all.

[@jasonbabila6006]

I used to live not far from the Kenworth plant in Renton, WA and it's right by the Boeing 737 plant at the south end of Lake Washington, PACCAR used to build rail cars and cabooses there before trucks. It would be great to have Dominique on your video and you on her video when you come over to WA.

[@andrewwheeler5283]

Shove that clutch in when you shut the truck off! Lol. Just teasing ya, great video.

[@nolanwilliams8940]

Hey Mike! I’m a local truck driver in Seattle! We work right next to that plant! All of that construction up and down 405. I look forward to that video!

[@flyingpaddy7525]

I’ve shown a few lads the ropes with lowboy work and like yourself kind of thought myself and when KZbin came along learned a lot more. I always tell lads to bring overalls as they will get destroyed. Like me they got them and never wore them.

Wow. That was a crazy accident. Just shows you how fast something can happen out there. Stay safe out there Mike. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy watching them. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@kennethvalerio1294]

Great video as always mike .

[@Twister-10228]

Good Video, While in Seattle you can take the fairy from pier 57 to Alaska and now the time to see the killer whales migrating by the fairy. Also go to Whidbey Island just across the bay where US Naval base is for nuclear submarine base. Close by is the Boeing air and space museum at SeaTac airport. And Boeing manufacturing at Pain Field out north to Everett, WA on HWY 99 or I-5 where they still make the B777, B767, B737 aircraft production lines. I used to live and work out there for a while as I was part of aircraft overhaul facility for Goodrich Aerospace and now merged with Aviation Tek and then closed down then Boeing took over the 5 large hangers where I used to work on C and D overhauling, inspections, repairing, and upgrading the following aircraft B747, B777, B767, B737, MD80, Airbus 319, and A300 aircrafts for various different airlines and cargo companies. I was on Northwest, Southwest, American and Midwest Express airlines repair, inspection and overhaul lines at the time. There a small heritage museum out there too close by Boeing. Just find Boeing Avenue and Pain Field is Boeing runways and aircraft parking lot for new planes made and old ones being upgraded. Cheers and enjoy Kenworth too.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks for the information! Won't be that long but we'll see what we can fit in.

[@MattyDardani]

Wow that wreck was crazy! I watched it a couple times. Crazy seeing the driver run out of the windshield.

[@wakeupamericaandresist2413]

Happy Thanksgiving,have a great week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@shawnwood7691]

The reason is because some model excavators require you to check hydraulic fluid level with it extended and some requires it with the stick folded in

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thank you

[@thepostagestampranch9227]

Hi Mike! The reason you stretch your stick out at the end of the night is to shorten up/close the cylinders and keep the weather from getting to them.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks for the info!

[@excavator22]

Also, on the Komatsu's you stretch it out to check hyd. oil level in the morning. Also, I'm a new sub, just found your video's. They're great, I'm really enjoying them!@@TheBostonTrucker

[@thomasperkins1833]

Hope you guys have fun seeing your KW being built and I like the the idea of the way you clean your stainless and Rose is an awesome Co worker Happy Thanksgiving

[@johnarnett1172]

The reason you stretch the stick out when you park it is so when the operator comes in the next morning and checks the hydrologic fluid level

[@user-dh7jj9hw6o]

[@rustyhook6723]

Destrations (cell phones) speeding and unsafe lane changes are the biggest problems on the roads today. People have no regard for others. Thankfully nobody killed on Rt3. Sadly people jump to the conclusion it's the truckers fault. That driver holding that steering wheel as that thing rolls and slides down the hiway must have been thinking "this is it i'm gonna die" Maybe see ya later today Mike ?

[@jimturtle6223]

Mike You have to at least take the Cardillos by the Boeing plant in Everett, Wash. Largest building in the world.

[@eddieb9975]

My guess is if you extend the equipment out like that all the hydraulic oil goes back to the tank so it gives you a more accurate reading when you check your hydraulic oil

[@millennialcarpenter1784]

i run 24 north from 140 all the way past the split to shit i see on a daily basis is just nuts

[@eddieweigel9490]

Stretch out the stick to keep the piston inside the hydraulic cylinder to protect it from damage old timer told me this sounds correct

[@DavidCinelli7815]

I'm guessing there's cameras posted on the Mass. Pike? Looks in the video like the tanker driver ran away from the truck-he was probably in shock /adrenaline rush etc.

[@treyschmidt762]

Or getting away if there was an explosion

[@jeffcosta9601]

Some extend the boom out on an excavator to retract the cylinders so they are concealed and protected

[@grousehunter67]

That would be pretty cool trip to Kenworth plant for sure !

We got OT on Weekends and Holidays. And if you worked on your birthday. Seriously. Family owned, maybe 80 drivers. Got paid by the miles on OTR trips. Which were most of my days. Eventually they started paying by the hour for everything. We had a lot of fingerprint loads got paid extra for those. Paid extra for the NYC metro area.

[@timothymcguirk4633]

You made a comment the other day about the cooler weather and I presume the truck engine fan that it seems you shut on and off all day long. You need to let the cooling fan cycle on and off all by itself. It won’t overheat it’s designed to work like that. Tri it and don’t fret about the temp gauge and fan override switch

[@donaldwarf7244]

He pre cools the motor by turning the fan prior to going into dusty conditions to keep from blowing dust up on truck

[@MegaGeorge1948]

It looked like the white pickup truck quickly lane-dived into the left lane in front of the Tesla, no turn signal. the Tesla then rear ended the errant pickup that then spun around sideways in front of the tanker truck. The tanker truck tried to avoid the pickup, and swerved to the right. But the tanker truck rammed the pickup truck then the rear tanker truck trailer left rear wheel ran over the pickup rear corner bed and then flipped over. The truck driver then exited through the truck windshield and then ran away from the truck. The other truck, that took the video, had to swerve to the left lane to avoid a third collision with the offending pickup truck that was turned 90 degrees to the flow of traffic when it came to a rest.

[@behindbarsracing845]

Extend it so you can check the hydraulic fluid accurately in the morning

Thanks Mike for making the point about Truck Drivers not being paid for overtime or being seen as skilled labor. We need Unions to protect workers and not strip OSHA as is the intention of the GOP.
