You are a hell of a Dad Tim....giving Brax the opportunity to run your truck. He is doing amazing!!

[@Double_deuce22]

Diesel engines are rather amazing. We have seen countless Diesel engines start and run (albeit roughly) with serious issues. Those finicky gassers would never start and run under similar circumstances. I love my diesels!!! Thanks Rudolf!

[@mrmotofy]

See the recent vid from I think Bruce Wilson, started a cabover that's been sitting like 25 years

[@jasonreese4824]

Tim I love it when you and your son trucking together and you let him do stuff like that reminds me and my dad I had.a very good teacher and your son has a very good teacher to .

[@walternewberry1501]

Way to go Braxton. That was some good driving.

[@slwsnowman4038]

Brax drives the big rig better than a lot of people drive their sedans, SUVs and coupes.

[@chevyon37s]

Honestly that ain’t saying much tho! Either way, he’s a darn good driver.

[@knote4958]

I wish this comment was an exaggeration, but compared to some of the drivers on the road today, this kid is goin places.

[@MiaM1ViiCE]

He eats as much as an adult, weighs as much as an adult, he should perform at the level he does with the food intake he has lol

[@joseq5762]

Brax, been following you a your Dad...you are not the best driver.....But at 9 years old and your Dad's knowledge you are going to become one of the BEST! Keep it up, Buddy!

[@nelymarcantel4965]

I still can't get over what you're doing for Shane. The world needs more people like you Tim.

[@matthewosterman8504]

That boy can drive pretty dang good. He might have had a couple guys guiding him back, but the skills were all him. I'd say it's about time for a raise 😂😂

[@tsommerfeld4932]

I like the 20 minute format and Brax is doing a great job learning the trade. I learned how to run equipment by my dad letting me at it. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@lesend5026]

when my FATHER came back vietnam the first time he worked for his brother at harvest time in NORTH DAKOTA, best time of my life i learned how to drive grain trucks, tractors, all kinds of vehicles... best times in my life, keep on teaching your SON, it will be something he never forgets!!! much LOVE TO YOU ALL AN GOD BLES!!!

[@markwarren7959]

Love watching a 9 year old drive a semi.

[@breal3023]

.....I really wish I had my dad. Your relationship is beyond imaginable. Keep raising that young man as you are. Great job!

[@sodapop8408]

Brax is gonna end up your go to driver on these specialty loads one day and you will be able to relax and do some fishing

[@chriswilliams8484]

Agreed. And tell Pony Boy and Darry hello for me 😎

[@robertwaldrop4457]

I really got a compliment you on your son Braxton He is a smart little kid I love watching backing up to the trailers then hooking up the airlines and then taking the truck and trailer been pulling it out and then backing it back in. I've seen grown men that can't even do that yet. I know all your kids have got their specialties and whatever they want to do but I believe Braxton is going to be one heck of a mechanic and one heck of a truck driver

[@mikedobson2988]

Thanks Tim and all of your people. I enjoy watching everything yall do and keep Brax learning. Be safe guys.

[@williamebie8296]

You have a fantastic channel. I love the your relationship with Brax, he's great. Don't worry about the naysayers as I think their just jealous of your relationship with him. Keep up the good work, and good luck with all your projects.

[@stevenmcc2119]

Braxton is his mommas for sure can’t deny that kid and he’s shy around camera but not trucks and jammin gears 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@paulrichards6033]

You are such a great Dad letting Brax drive those beautiful machines. God Bless Man!

[@mikejanow9927]

Brax is going to be a great truck driver when he gets older . I think he backs up better than I do . You have a great son and a great family. Bet you are so proud of all of them. Love your channel don't ever miss a video.

[@donswitzer1799]

Brax I am very proud of you because you are doing a wonderful job helping your dad and your beautiful mom always listen to them you will get some where brax you will have your own business take care

[@JG-zy6cg]

Awesome to see family working together! Yall are living the real American Dream!

[@luchonix]

Brax just loading the truck like nothing. The man!

[@vinylseat]

That young man is very lucky to have such a great Dad. All the best lad.

[@markphillips6998]

Brax, little buddy, I used to struggle to talk to people, especially big groups.... But the key to it is plenty of practice, big deep breaths and really throw that voice I know you have. You'll get there just now big man, you got this

[@deanfulford69]

Braxton is going to be one hell of a truck driver hell he's already better than most i know you have to be one proud man there's nothing better than a son following his dad's foot steps it doesn't happen to much these days 👍

[@jamesjournell867]

& may God bless them all,,with all the hopes & 🙏 prayers that are ever possible!!!!

[@mistylanham8786]

My husband and I support u all 1000 percent. We've been watching since day 1. Yes this is by far the best KZbin 👌 channel out there. Keep doing you guys being humble, and getting them jobs done safely. God bless gentry family and trucking and all their endeavors!!!

[@belllpatrick]

It’s is awesome how your dad helps out. He’s a hard worker!

[@leisaanderson1139]

Braxton drives better than most adults, no joke. He is such a great kid and kudos for being such a great Daddy as this is how life is supposed to be :-)

[@blankblank3397]

The control he has with the truck you can just tell its in him

[@brentonmcclean3647]

Brax...you're doing a fine job son ! You make all us subscribers and your Daddy proud boy !

[@philipmichel215]

Omg Braxton is the bomb. Reminds me of backing up loaded wreckers and trailers In my dad’s tow yard when I was 10

[@xcrossboies862]

Start them young. He'll be supporting the family business when you can't. Much love to this channel don't see many family oriented channels

[@edwardstephens247]

I feel quite confident you and your dad can fix it!

[@erickitty5546]

Brax could take over the company tomorrow and they wouldn’t skip a beat. Sharp young man you got there.

[@josephjones4468]

Reminds me of me and my grandfather who was a truck driver and the reason for me becoming a truck driver.

[@donwiley1055]

Tim that young man know he can drive he going to be driving the truck before on the road before you know it it look like a drive better than some of your drivers smile don't make a difference when you get a video out for me it is always a good video keep up the good work you are a hard working man if the world sees things the way you do in the truck business the whole world will probably in a better shape

[@anthony5227]

Ever heard of punctuation? Jesus dude use a period

[@thejakefromstatefarm6768]

That kid will never lose yall any subscribers lol. Hell I subscribed BECAUSE of him. Most people are camera shy so tell him that it’s ok. I would be mortified lol.

[@donnatalielucasheimbigner7598]

I learned how to drive helping my dad move the truck around the gravel pit that he worked at for years. I got good enough that Dad set me up to haul away the dirt portion and dump it into a pile. Th truck was a 59 International with a gas engine & 5+4 trannies & air brakes. It originally didn't have spring brake pots on it and a few men lost their lives from run aways. I also learned about air brake systems on that old truck by helping with the spring brake system install. It is great to see Brax learning to drive & wrench on trucks with you & his grandpa. I also first learned how to fix things with my grandpa, mostly on his old Ford trucks & 8N/9N tractors with Swartz loaders & back hoes, as well as the brake drum/belt run buzz saw. We also used to run around his properties smoke bombing the gopher infestation for a few years. it was so awesome working with both of them as a kid.

[@jpiccirilli]

Tim , you're doing great job with Braxton. Super Dad status!

[@bigg4141]

Tim I replaced the fiberglass fairings on 2007 freightliner coronado had to purchase them freightliner and they wasn't cheap. I really appreciate & enjoy your channel. Yall made me feel like part of your family. I don't know why people give negative comments to yall they just be jealous. They are a lot of truckers have youtube channels but I really enjoy yours & Bruce Wilson. I'm ready to see some more t-shirt design.I just got my new design t-shirt & it's awesome design shirt. God Bless you and your precious family. True old school drivers appreciate you.

[@bubbachambers]

tell little brax I feel like uncle bubba being able to watch him grow up. no reason to be shy

[@mikepenney6452]

Really liking the shorter versions, hopefully this works better for you too! Well done Brax with the driving, the ol’ Coronado is definitely in need of some serious luvin’… although it burns that it happened in your busy season good to hear she’s already earned her keep and sounds worthy of a rebuild.

[@tonynorris1250]

I been here since before 20k! The changes are wonderful!

[@mattbasford6299]

Years ago, we had a Diesel service truck in our family well drilling business. My little brother decided to clean the air filter with gas without telling anyone (he was 7-8). My dad put it back in and started the engine and had to choke it down when pit ran off. Tore up the transmission a little and broke the motor mounts.

[@2strokesimdone833]

Sad to see that the coronado is down. That's literally my favorite spec truck of all time. Would love to be behind the wheel of another.

[@peterchadderton8122]

great to see a video of your son backing the trailer into its parking place Watched you on the boat pick up and delivery so thought I would take a look and see some of your other stuff

[@jcrowe3065]

My cousin ran his under a 12'9" low bridge last weekend. Scalped the sleeper . Was a beautiful truck. Now it looks like frankinado 😖

[@stevezickefoose8563]

Well done Dad, you are raising an excellent young man.

[@riverrat1284]

I like the fact that there was minor damage, and he says we a driver meeting. I’ve worked for a company that every day had a lot more damage than that, and they were just like it’s another day. Tim you have a Trucking company and not just a bunch of steering wheel holders. I know these fuel prices are killing y’all. Good luck and keep up the great work

[@The-Deadbolt-Deputy]

Cool. My first time seeing the work shop. Now you got my attention.

[@johnnysmile01]

Poor Coronado i like that green truck Brax is a pro now he´s good.

[@AndrewHaverson]

If I caught this on the day or a day or two after, I'd say to "ensure your up on your overhauls" like the arm chair jockey I am lol. God bless you guys and hope you can get back on the path quicker than you realize 🙏.

[@donfulton7471]

I think it is great that you work for your son so much my dad was a truck driver and my uncle bud I drove a little truck I still have a class A license I think you're doing outstanding on the truckster rebuilding and stuff when my financial thing gets a little bit better I'm going to buy a couple of t-shirts I can't do it right now I think you're awesome and you're doing a great job take care bye

[@ANTHONY-h6w]

Hey Tim I hope you and your family have had a wonderful and blessed day!!

[@davidford9017]

Definitely a fan of the 20-30 minute videos vs long ones

[@25slider]

Thanks Tim and Brax for another great video great job Brax on driving thanks again

[@ralphe2839]

That Brax is a great little driver. You must be proud.

[@adam_datrucker9979]

Now that's how you teach your son how to drive a truck 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👍🏾

Brax is a stallion!!!! Beard is on point, Tim!!!

[@amoswoodside5551]

Enjoy the channel and keep up with your progress Tim

[@leftheart13]

Love seeing your boy with ya.. thats awesome.. he's the best... he's so good he could run his own channel

[@tracymiller1881]

Hi Tim, you've got him started out right. Brax I was 8 when dad come home with heart trouble and it was my job to go with him to give him somebody to lean on. I had to learn to drive that rig so I did. I bugged dad all the time to let me pull it up or back it up. He did, you've done a good job backing up just remember when in doubt get out and look.

[@mrplough1324]

Hey Tim, you are an amazing dad and have an amazing family. Love the videos keep them coming. From Sydney Australia.

[@gregsabados3762]

Hey Tim, one of the things we used to do with all the air brake equipped trucks we had was to put a female quick coupler to the air tanks. It allowed us to air up the truck and move it quickly instead of letting it run for a few minutes to build pressure. It just took an air source (another truck or an air hose from the shop) and a double male adapter with a ball valve cut-off between them. Then the truck was moveable immediately instead of running it in the shop for a couple of minutes waiting for the air to come up, or if it was being worked on and couldn't run. The other advantage to that is it allowed the truck to air up it's own tires and we even occasionally used it to run air impact wrenches out on service calls or when we had to recover a tractor with a flat tire.

[@mrmotofy]

Have any trouble with the fitting getting filled with dirt and garbage? How did you keep it clean?

[@gregsabados3762]

@@mrmotofy we used the slightly more expensive brass couplers so they didn't rust and had them installed facing down so that dirt wouldn't collect in them. being on the end of an air tank bolted to the frame, they were in a pretty protected location. The S-1900 Rollback and Mack U-600s both never really had a problem with anything more than dust getting in them. If they did, you could just flush it out with some brake cleaner before using them. The old U sitting in the shop running for 6 minutes or so waiting for it to air up was the main reason we made the adapter. It would really smoke up the shop before you could move it.

[@mrmotofy]

@@gregsabados3762 oh I totally understand why...I don't understand why there's not one on every truck...just hard in some climate to keep junk out I recently found a Mount cover kind of thing with a threaded base that is for example on your bumper A threaded base that is for example on your bumper. Then has a aluminum cover that screws on over the whole fitting keeping everything out. But there are like 50 bucks each

[@johnandersen1732]

Your son backs better then a lot of OTR drivers I have seen. Keep up the good work.

[@anthonybrown5213]

Get with it brax,you have to carry on the legacy.

[@Wildchild0036]

Well worth the wait brother! Great job backing Braxton!!

[@deeavery3149]

Can't wait for the 72 freightliner!! Been waiting. Poor guy, what a great attitude you have.

[@kevintrucker372]

Brax you are one awesome young man and we all love you and Tim the shorter videos are just fine the longer ones tell more of the story but it's fine with the shorter ones Love the channel and keep on trucking brother

[@kentstryker7208]

Tim you need to look in Westren Canada for Detroits because there are a good amount in Wreackers because they aren’t as popular as cat or Cummins for the older trucks in Alberta

[@trosper4676]

Give that boy some time he will come in 2 his own........hell not everyone likes all that attention and junk witch is a good thing....hes just a very humbel kid thats going to grow up to be a good kid and a even better man with the support he has that boy can do anything on this planet he ever is gonna wanna do........i freaking love that big smile 2 boy that smile is ear 2 ear aint no denying hes a happy stress free kid...........

Oh wow that was to painful to listen to… poor girl she done her time I guess… looking forward to seeing her come back to life dunno why but that colour it’s just yeah thats my favourite truck 👌

[@Duece-Bigilo]

Dude you should be extremely proud of Braxton 👍🏻 really impressive bubba

[@killakilla2418]

So this is why I saw the w9 pulling the Coronado in Louisiana a few days ago

[@slumericanfeller7441]

Braxton is professional by proxy and by him being a child growing up around this stuff. He’s learned it by watching and then helping and now he’s doing. Braxton- Buddy just know, you’re father will agree, You can do anything that you set your mind to and work towards.

[@bennett1586]

I was waiting to hear “cut ‘er deep” when brax was backing that trailer up😂We need that saying on a t-shirt please

[@suzylarry1]

Thats a big truck for a small boy ! can he reach the pedals ? Good learning . It's in his blood and he likes it , this may be like grand dad , like dad , like son !

At least Brax didn’t tear the bumper off…. The green Coronado would be a good giveaway truck!

I love all your videos and I absolutely love Braxton having a son myself but please brother get him on a diet or something I’d want my son living a happy healthy life! Much love y’all

[@RealJohnWayne]

"THIS THING IS A BEAST" The Freight Shaker is down, Gentry and Son's trucking company is reduced by 1/3rd now, down to just 2 trucks. And did y'all see that W9 with its new fuel tank, bumper, and the fenders painted to match, I bet the speedometer works now to. And with its new/old chip, "It's a beast" 😅 At least with the Freight Shaker blown up, it'll give em time to fix the fairings and go through and fix everything right, like they do on every truck they rebuild.😅 Tim said it himself, Braxton can back up better than he can, I don't know who set the bar the lowest? 🤷‍♂️

[@rayweeks4018]

Jealous much?
