ASMR POV Trucking: Millville, NJ - MD State Line (Trying 1440p!)

I return once again after an unfortunate hiatus.
My truck unfortunately ran into some breakdown problems and I was out for close to 2 weeks while I was waiting for a new truck to be ready. Fortunately I am back again, so welcome! A nice light rain this morning as we leave Millville, NJ and head back to Hagerstown.
One day I'll remember to adjust my GPS volume to a more reasonable camera level before I start recording, so sorry!
Thank you so very much for riding with me and I hope you enjoy!

Idk why but I love how the engine sound suddenly goes low and deep at 1:06

[@cosmic_40]

I really enjoyed. It's cool to see how accurate my LT American truck simulator is. Keep on truckin!

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

Not sure what options the game offers but I have a 2019 LT625 with Cummins X15 425HP, and Eaton 10 speed automatic. Thanks for watching, welcome aboard! 😁

Nice!

Don't stop now

[@GarbageSean]

This is just awesome! What year, make, model of truck, engine and transmission are you running? Please keep doing these amazing ASMR's, they help me fall asleep at night! But, perhaps on a truck with straight pipes (if your company has any that is!) The louder the exhaust, the better! I absolutely love loud trucks, especially with straight piped Caterpillar 3406B's, Detroit Series 60, Cummins L10, Cummins ISM/M11, and also Cummins ISX, all running straight pipes!

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

I'm so glad you enjoy, thank you! I have a 2019 International LT. Cummins X15 425HP, Eaton Fuller 10 speed transmission. We will have to see where my career takes me, my future plans are bouncing me between three options, I do want to stay regional though vs OTR: Stay where I'm at with McElroy because I love my fleet manager and the independence we get in this company is amazing. I make REALLY good money with these guys as a starting driver but the pay scale could be higher for experienced drivers. I'm debating becoming a driver mentor here my fleet manager and I have talked about it and they pay their mentors really well. I could take up box trailers and reefers by going to Walmart once I hit 30 months, they drive a mishmosh of various automatic trucks but pay and benefits are top notch. I'd relocate but for the money I would make well worth it. Or stay in flatbed and go to Michael A. Manuel Trucking. They drive Peterbilt 389s which is honestly my dream truck to drive. Pretty sure they have all pre emissions engines, the nice loud ones you talk about. I've been itching so hard to get back in a manual truck, and their pay is also pretty good. They have really nice trucks look up their Facebook page and go to the pics of their fleet. I love the sound of this Cummins X15, when it's running hard it sounds almost like the chug of a train and there's something I just love about its rhythm. Cats are definitely my favorite sounding though. But we will see what happens! Hope my comment wasn't too long winded for you 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching!

[@GarbageSean]

@@LifeintheHammerLane Lol no worries buddy, I actually enjoy super long comments like this! Boy...that's a tough decision for you to make. Do you happen to know what make and model trucks Walmart's fleet has, and if they have Allison automatics? I absolutely love Allison transmissions, especially the Allison 4500 series. I love hearing the RPM drops during shifts, as well as the transmission whine in the lower gears (1st, 2nd, lockup). What engines are in the Walmart trucks? If you end up going with Michael A. Manuel, hopefully you can get in a Peterbilt 389 with a straight piped pre emissions Caterpillar 3406E or C15, or a straight piped Detroit Series 60! I know you said the 389 is your dream truck, so hopefully you can get into one! And yes, I really do enjoy the sounds of the Cummins X15, has a great rhythm to it and is music to my ears! Here's an idea for future ASMR's: I'd love it if you could do 3-4 hour ASMR's with engine startup at the beginning, high RPM shifting, and engine shutdown at the end. I follow another trucker on here (a really good buddy of mine) and he does 3-4 hour ASMR's on his 2022 Volvo VNL860, and he does exactly what I described above. I know I'm going on, but lots to say! Please let me know ASAP.

@@GarbageSean My company is dedicated, whole fleet post 2017 is automatic International LTs, everything pre 2017 is manual International Prostars with the Navistar N15 Maxxforce. My first 3 driving videos I was in a Prostar. Now Walmart I'm not too sure they seem to just have whatever. I see a lot of Internationals and Peterbilts. As for what they have inside I'm not too sure but they have fairly new equipment across the board and Im 99% they're also a full automatic fleet. As for Michael A. Manual they do have the stacks, I'm just not sure what's in them engine-wise, I know they're pre emissions cause I don't see any DEF tanks on any of their trucks in their pictures. The Navistar and Cummins are the only engines I've actually driven on before since that's what International carries so I can't really say for any of the others. Also excellent suggestions! If you have more do share I'm always open to them! Unfortunately I'm limited to the battery capacity of my GoPro until I can find a better solution, which is typically about an hour and 30 minutes of recording. This is why I grouped all those ASMR videos into one playlist so people can just pick a random video and let them play in succession. I was hoping that would mitigate the shorter-then-preferred recording times. We don't have APUs so we idle the trucks all week. Start her up on Sunday/Monday, don't touch the key till Friday. I'll try to make a priority to record some good routes that have steep inclines for the high RPM climbs or bigger downgrades where I can let the jakes ride all the way down.

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

@@GarbageSean come to think of it, in my US 15 N video recently I'm certain the one big hill I open the jakes all the way down is buried in that video somewhere. I plan to do the 2nd leg of that journey to Elmira, NY when I get the chance next and sunlight is available. I-70 is another good target that has some steep hills when I go loaded out east. I took one of I-99/US220N by I-76 but wasn't happy with the recording so I plan to redo that location but that has a nice big hill too. The one I'm about to upload this weekend is a doozy. Starts with one of the most challenging and annoying interchanges that I've ever had to deal with 🤣🤣🤣

[@GarbageSean]

@@LifeintheHammerLane Boy, that one's going to be fun! For the longer portion, what about merging clips together to make one massive 4+ hour ASMR? You could start off each ASMR video by doing the startup each Sunday/Monday, and continue until you shut down on Friday, merging each clip together. One of my mates I follow on here just put up a 7 and a half hour ASMR video of the dump truck he used to drive (a 2007 Australian Mack Metroliner with the ISC05 Cummins and Allison 3500 6 speed automatic), and he put all the clips together. As for the high RPM's, what I meant was each time you shift the gears, especially when taking off from lights/stop signs, I'd like you to shift at the highest RPM possible not just on hills, but on flat as well. Make sure the jakes are on full blast as well so I can get the full sound of the jakes, especially when slowing down approaching lights. Does that make sense? I just want to make sure you got everything I'm wanting when doing future ASMR's. Please let me know if you have any further questions, and I'll be more than happy to answer them!

hey man love ur videos man what company ya work for ill make a profile with the company name and same truck and trailer man

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

McElroy Truck Lines. We drive International LT625s with a Cummins X15, 425HP. My truck (2019) has a 10 speed Eaton gearbox, the 2021s and newer have the 12 speed Eaton

[@yamto4665]

seem like you got the hd working

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

It finally finished like a day and a half ago! 🤣 I'll have to try to find a way to schedule my uploads a couple days in advance so it has time to do what it has to do. Yeah I was watching it every morning and night to see when it stopped rendering.

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

1440p 60FPS is pretty spankin good. I would push it to 4K now but the Hero 9 only does up to 30FPS for 4K, plus it drains the battery like crazy. I want to do videos where I strap trailers down and various distribution center shenanigans but I would need a 2nd battery probably to swap to before I'm done. Maybe I'll just buy a 2nd battery and go for it.

Hey buddy are you able to change the resolution settings for the video? I tried seeing if the 2K resolution worked but it's only playing in a low quality and I can't tell if it's cause I'm checking on cellular or because there's actually an issue

[@yamto4665]

@@LifeintheHammerLane I think it the cellular since i can't change the resolution for the video

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

@@yamto4665 I just pulled up my Studio dashboard desktop version from my browser and it says it's still processing the HD version? 2 hours seems a little lengthy for that but whatever you say KZbin 🤣 Thank you very much I would check back later, not sure how long that's going to take.

[@yamto4665]

lol. it might be slow wifi

[@DigitalGold3D]

you seem like in a rush. slow down and cruise

[@LifeintheHammerLane]

I probably was. I used to take a lot of the long runs in between these. If I don't make the money someone else is gonna, so the way I see it, might as well be me 🤣🤣
