Driving a Freightliner Classic!

[@Thedeadedhorizontey]

My dad haf one of these when I was 12 or 13, it's the truck that got me into trucks, so cool you just happen to have a video of one. Watching the mirrors shake is giving me flashbacks too haha, ol' freightshaker

[@thermidorlevrai65]

brought back memories, my dad drove a 2004 fld120 with a 525 6nz and an 18 speed, now that sound is stuck in my head

[@helioacid8182]

when he said common truck turn i felt that lol

[@manitobadutchkid8989]

.amen brother lol

[@helioacid8182]

@Prince Kody get a life dude

[@J.Sullivan5]

[@kenfochtman8698]

The rattling in that thing would drive me nuts!

[@jayparr9719]

Puts me right back in the driver's seat of my old FLD.

[@peterbilt3593]

You just earned a new subscriber, fantastic video, and driving!!!

[@rabidpandamotovlogs1389]

Miss my 03 Classic XL. Mine had a Detroit in it. Got rid of it with the Elog mandate here in the States. Bought a 96 FLD to replace her for now.

[@901thuggin]

How's that FLD running?

[@rastagoobers8567]

Best truck ever made

[@kjy29]

Just stumbled onto you page, great videos and some great driving! So many people with crazy shifting videos on the "right way to shift" should be watching these videos.

[@adriancrawford8964]

love this truck can’t wait to get started in trucking I’m buying this exact truck from my dad vary soon. Awesome video!!!

[@Zerksss]

Did you end up getting it?

[@eganthetrucker]

Awesome video

[@fredgt45]

I cant wait to be in one of those! Im currently a student at CFTR (in quebec) we are doing the theory at home for now

[@dollaz5541]

How’s that going

[@jonahkasiborski1472]

One day I would like to drive a Freightliner Classic as my truck.

[@arjundhiman7180]

Thats what i drive for work a 1999 classic black flattop freightliner!

[@Day-rl1dx]

she sounds real nice!!

[@Pete1230]

Nice sounding turbo.

[@jotegg1276]

Did you make the "STOP"? The one where you stop, get out and walk around, trying to figure out if the one of the brakes are sticking. Whilst looking for that lose part that may or may not have fallen off before you got pulled over...!!

[@laurencemathewriggs8023]

Hows the freight moving out there with the virus. I'm starting my flat decking career next week.

[@callthemall]

Wow I’m amazed you found a place hiring right now! I usually do building supplies which is right now considered an essential service, so I have been moving still, but things are finally slowing down a bit for me. Earlier this week I almost dead headed from Philadelphia back to Ontario, but a load popped up last second...

[@laurencemathewriggs8023]

Well will see for how long shity times wright now

[@johnpierce7860]

Grain amd fertilizer is always moving.

[@lindongamble8921]

Nice)

[@kashpayne9388]

We’re those stock exhaust or straight? That truck sounds good

[@callthemall]

Might have been the original canisters but they were hollowed out at some point, so essentially straight pipes 👍

[@kashpayne9388]

callthemall copy that sounds good as hell

[@chrisbennett8538]

Nice

[@indiichasse2472]

Do you always carry b trains???

[@MrNezzy7]

What truck number was this Matt ?

[@callthemall]

103, not a nezzy truck though

[@billygreenhorn9275]

Kitchener, Ontario

[@steventaylor5713]

I feel for you Sir,, to have to drive a freightliner over a Pete and now you know Classic's do not turn like a Pete ,,,I would drive a R-Model Mack over a freightliner hehe not a fan of freightliner

[@thermidorlevrai65]

what became of that rig?

[@callthemall]

Another driver window’d the block, was sold to a guy a few years ago, he had a classic with bad cab but good engine or something

[@michaellangdonful]

Was that truck hard to turn? I heard in the video you saying come on turn.

[@callthemall]

Yeah it has a fairly long wheelbase and a large turning radius

[@johnpierce7860]

Some of the tri axle drivers are scary. I had one fly by me on the shoulder. Then use a turning lane in a intersection to pass 3 cars and cut one off

[@moparguy7100]

Where is the straight pipes?

[@Dean_matongera]

Transmission???

[@callthemall]

The classic Eaton 18 speed

[@riffraff1015]

Back when a truck steering wheel looked like a truck steering wheel.

[@jschmid]

No stupid elog telling you to log in and and no stupid thing on the dash giving you alerts and shit about the dpf system. Start and go. Up yours government.

[@celestinotoledo949]

That’s why I just bought a 93 FLD to start as owner operator.

[@dirvin8875]

# Do that deal driver " $

[@beargutz6327]

Mine crashed in the grapevine

[@rogerioelias4567]

Este é o som do motor deste caminhão no Euro Euro Truck Simulator 2 entre os caminhões deste modelo criado por moders só um tinha um som de motor como este gotoso de de ouvir os outros tinham um som estralado horrível troquei por motores de outras marcas mas não gostei então fiquei com um modelo exatamente como este com um som de motor como o deste caminhão da gosto de se ouvir belo caminhão americano tenho que admitir.

[@RobertRichardson-c9o]

Freightliners have to many rattles and squeaks!

[@jalenwalden8137]

That thing is slow

[@callthemall]

Yeppers! Chug chug chug...

[@piter_sk]

@@callthemall slow, but strong! it has tonnes of torque to put out in low gears... HP are how fast are you moving, torque is how much you are moving :P

[@thermidorlevrai65]

its a truck not a race car

[@brentmanzella4186]

Pull right out in front of someone ? Great !

[@callthemall]

Brent Manzella they pulled out from the side street as I was already committed to the turn, but I’ll admit I used up more of their lane than I wanted, the turning radius of this Freightliner ain’t the greatest...

[@brentmanzella4186]

@@callthemall O ok sorry,I Love them classics ! Be safe out there.

[@davebullock3517]

callthemall , loved my Classic XL, but man, you needed some room to turn that bad boy! 😆

[@indiichasse2472]

Do you always carry b trains ????

[@callthemall]

Yeppers! Unless things slow down and I have to pull a regular tandem axle trailer.
