Auction Truck Doesn't Fit In The Trailer Well! Haul It Anyway.

[@pcap2700]

The chest cam is just fine

[@tomhahn6792]

Hi Steve. Thank you for the explanation of unhooking and rehooking the trailer to Orwell. Wish I had seen the explanation 50 videos ago. Now it makes sense.

[@danielseelye6005]

@@tomhahn6792 Well he did do it many times before, but it was 4 years ago when he really started transitioning FSC from a speed shop channel to the Trucking channel.

The chest cam is perfect. Less motion compared to the head cam with all the turning.

[@sk1nzsk1nz34]

Brings back memories for me. I started out as a drivers mate on heavy haul in the UK. Spent a lot of time crawling around and splitting trailers just like this. Eventually the company got us a hydraulic set up with a donkey engine. Everything was done by pulling levers. Some of the really old stuff had axles at the back that came off and you drove stuff up that way. Steve, you work too hard buddy lol. Respect mate.

[@projectprogaming2980]

The chest cam is good I really enjoyed the trailer explaining very good thanks your videos are always good never boring keep it up man stay safe 👍

[@tabithasalb9903]

Thank you for showing and sharing and teaching how the trailer comes apart. You did a great job explaining. 🎉

[@bradt2656]

that dog bone system for your trailer is pretty neat

I too hope you are able to get Elaine on the road soon. Everything happens when its supposed to. Be safe on the roads.

[@Bluestreak589]

Good video - Thanks for taking the time to go over how loading freight works with your trailer. Driving a truck might not be quite on the level of rocket science but may as well be - I wouldn't know where to begin without screwing up if I tried doing your job.

[@WesintheWest1100]

Alright Big Steve. You’re the Man!

[@TeamDonRacing]

You take me back man.. I drove for Werner Enterprises back when they had a fleet of mostly Cabover Pete 362's and a few AeroDyne KW's. I drove a typical 1988 cabover 362 Pete, mostly blue with white wheels, CAT engine and the solid darker blue trailers they had then. You were probably in grade school. The old school truck stops are gone now replaced by Disney Land Travel Stops for todays flip-flop wearing drivers. Seeing the interior of a mid 80's Cabover Pete again is so cool.. NOW, anything east of I-35 and north of I-70 is a total zoo.. Sorry but it's just too damn crowded with distracted clowns now...THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS..

[@JKost-rp5um]

Thanks Steve for taking time to explain trailer disconnect and reconnect for a load. As a later subscriber to the channel I wondered how it worked.

Good Evening Steve, I'm always glad to watch ur vid's keep them coming brother

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

Steve u should get a jump box really handy to have. Hell I had to get Jessie to back up one of those flatbed trucks before. And I was like you gotta get speed backing up and dam did she. She was like that's scary. Cause she thought it was going to slide off on the side. 2 different driver's they have a heavy duty wrench in the back of there semi's. And they just use the wrench to load truck's up on the flatbed trailer. They have ramps that folds up and down. Nana was like that's interesting how he explained the teardown. She was like why does he have to turn the dump valve off and on behind his semi truck and your's is on the dashboard on your KW and I said his is older than our's 1978 KW. And she's like did u install the dump valve switch and I said yeah when we rebuilt the KW year's ago. Before it had a valve almost where your's is located at. She was like hell he used the same setup strapping it down. I said all of our driver's do that. Hope you all had a good Christmas we did. Christmas Day at night we had a bonfire at my Godmother's House also co-owner. It was nice having it. Cause it was 30 year's on Christmas Day that I lost my Grandparents by a drunk driver. My grandparents was Jessie's grandma and grandpa's best friend's.

[@producerk8247]

Capturing all the footage with what you're looking at with the chest cam is more difficult rather than using the head cam. As long as you have another camera going, (which you do in this video), it just might make for a better viewing experience for most. I personally liked the head cam... even though I know they are more of a headache for the person wearing it. But at the same time, you don't have to worry about the extra weight on your head. You do you. Great explanation of the trailer breakdown/hook up for those that didn't know. Heck, there was a time I didn't know myself. Have a good one Steve. On to the next one.

[@carldrexler7883]

We bought several former Yellow trucks this year. Almost everyone we had to replace the batteries. Another issue we encounter was brakes being stuck to the drums.

Merry Christmas and happy new year Steve to u and your family

[@67L-88]

I think folks might have liked to see how the neck fits into the drive lugs, also how the neck fits into and is held by the pin (little pull pin) on the trailer. We would always deflate the rear suspension. Ahh good old putting the neck on with a big load on the trailer. It was always hard to estimate just how much extra space was needed to get the neck on. The angle of the deck is tipped back towards the load, several to six inches or so beyond the ninety-degree where you'd think it should be. I have come up short more than once. Yes, the deck drops back to ninety or even a forward angle when connected and loaded. In this case, it's easy to move the truck back but when you have something like a container sitting on the deck, it ain't so easy to move... Just remembering another fun thing with the trailer, getting the neck back on when you cannot make the truck straight to the trailer. Sure a little off it usually finds itself. When it's more, it is a challenge or can be, good old memories ;)

[@ronmurphy4855]

THATS HARD WORK LAD . YOU NEED A TRAILER LIKE SCRAPPEY INDUSTRY HAS .

[@danielseelye6005]

@@MingMerciless-d5d Steve doesn't like having equipment with extra failure points. As nice as Scrappy Industries' double drop is, it can only haul within the well deck and there's a higher chance for the hydraulics to fail. This XL Specialized RGN won't have to worry about that, plus he has more hauling surface with the top deck and the back deck along with the main well deck

Thanks for the vids Steve.. and good to see the break up sequence.. I had wondered. Greetings from New Zealand..

[@ChristopherBix]

I’m not a trucker, but that seems like a less than good position of the truck with half the tandem up on upper deck. I realize there wasn’t enough clearance for the gooseneck, but figured you’d back it up there, then hook up the trailer, then move truck forward, since you now had about 6 ft to play with in front, and bring the rears down almost on the lower deck, then chain it down. But maybe how you have it is preferred because the angle between the axels is less?

[@r.b.holmes2779]

I know it's goofy, but I still look at all those Yellow daycabs and think about all the drivers put out of a job , and in a lot of cases won't ever find another job like that. I ran out of IND for Yellow in the early 70s. Everything was a turn, we only ran west and south, no A/C !!! Life was good, easy money.

Steve, You should install a dump valve on your trailer. That will decrease your load angle. How long is the well on your trailer? Good explaining how to disconnect and re connect.

Once again, Steve visited a town where my mom's original nuclear family used to live. During the first half of the 1800's, her dad's family settled a 1,000 untilled plot of land outside of what became Morris Illinois. The farm as I remember between 1977 and 1993 (I was born in 1972) was located between the IL-52 & I-80 and was east of the IL-47. The city in their mailing address was Morris. A near fatal equipment accident in the summer of 1983 forced my maternal grandpa to sell his farm in 1988. My grandparents lived near the VFW Hall in Morris for a few years before moving down to Harrisburg, IL. Steve delivered a skid steer or two to an equipment rental company in Harrisburg Illinois, while he was on his way to MATS 2023. He had to borrow a company step deck trailer because of a delay in receiving some brake parts for his personal RGN trailer.
