Stubborn Garbage Truck Blows Hydraulics While Attempting To Load On My Trailer

[@hoosierpete]

Steves a real man, you can tell by the way he spent two hours trying to figure out how to get the gate open, instead of swallowing his pride and asking for help.

[@TruckerMadsen]

You can easily enter a truckshow with Orwell. Together with our humble host, he's working his way around the clock. My opinion is that the hard working older trucks, needs the same appreciation as them show and shines. Orwell has a bit of patina, but a heritage in the trucking industry that most trucks never accomplish, but would be proud of. Follow your heart, and do what YOU want. You're a stand up good guy 👍👍

[@JeronWhite]

A.good trash truck wow super load

[@canadian_grower420]

Hey Steve, I just wanted to say that as a non-trucker myself, I really appreciate you doing these videos, to do trucking would be my ultimate dream in life, but I know for facts it will never happen. So, getting these videos is great! Thank You

[@lemuelcasillas7572]

This old retired crusty Chief approves your videos. Much respect Steve.

[@maesy6730]

I'm glad to see all the county staff have recovered from their long day's work yesterday...

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

I don’t understand?

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Steve was there yesterday just after 3 pm. Problem is that they only work till three

[@JohnHallgren]

@@johnwudarcki9315 but we don’t know when their work day starts or how long it is, right? If it’s trash related, they might be on a 6am to 3pm schedule.

[@hillbillytruckernc]

Great video as always! I was once one of the guys wearing a inmate uniform on the Federal level. My last 2 years were spent driving a classic xl, Mack roll off, and taking guys to the bus station or airport when released. There aren't a lot of opportunities but if you take advantage of what's available you can leave with a viable skill.

43:35 - nice dirt dauber nest on the back of the differential.

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Great video FSC. It showed really what it’s like when you show up to do a pick up and you got to figure out all the things you have to do to get it up on the deck. Not many loads are straight forward. Now a days the driver is usually left with a mess. But your an old pro at solving the problems that shippers put in your lap. So you found a place relatively close by to layover that had all the amenities a truck driver need?. Like the video FSC. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

Keep on Trucking Steve!

[@matt2244]

it honestly takes a lot to show a car or a truck, took my old car to a car show and I was just stressed so many people leaning and touching.

[@psg6314]

That was what they done in my little town of molena GA I got some of the old gravel and put it in the driveway when I first moved to down here they made 1.5 mile walking trail great job with the truck and God bless from GA and stay safe oh I couldn't help but laugh at you I was a garbage man 30yrs retired

Just passed you on I-75 at the Griffin/ Jackson Georgia exit. We were traveling north bound and you were heading south bound. Hauling a fire truck. Safe travels!

[@regalbaby82]

Love your videos Steve. It would have been a pleasure to meet you while you were in my neck of the woods!! Stay safe out there.

[@RiVer-Parish]

Agreed, everybody deserves a second chance at life.

[@SbrGrendel65]

Now I’m glad that it fit in your well. It would of be frustrating if it was a little to long. It amazes me what a driver will encounter trying to get there load on trailer or put in the box.

[@rikardgustafsson5345]

love your videos steve

What did that button say, press here to lift the hatch ? LOL You learn something everyday. Now watchout for low wires and bridges !

Now Steve will be collecting all the trash in the dumpsters at the truck stops lol -Cheers!

I think I saw you on I41 yesterday, southbound going through Oshkosh hauling an Oshkosh ARFF truck

[@northstar2007]

considering the hassle to get the thing... this will be a fun load, with a heavy emphasis on the first part. an ode to joy lol

[@kman-mi7su]

I'm with you Steve, I'd like to see the industry come back in a big way. We've sold out industry to China like idiots and it is to our country's detriment. I love seeing railroads come back to life or historic roads still in use. I live outside of DC and near a Norfolk Southern line that has been a train line since before the civil war and is still in daily use by them, Amtrak, and Virginia Railway Express commuter trains to DC. I think its pretty cool that a line that exists was used to transport supplies and troops during the Civil War is still being used 24/7 in 2023.

[@plowkingf15]

At least it has good tires .My wife used to drive a sterling dump truck. Interior was pretty rough in that one too. Parts are real hard to find for them.

[@HeyItsJonny]

Yeah that Era of truck plastics sucked.

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good evnin brother

[@jessefrancis4838]

The top lever in the front next to the cab raises the back

[@Thomas-qs6zh]

Have you thought about fire hose to put over your chains to protect new equipment tie down.

[@fredswartz1969]

Just my 2 cents worth. I would prefer seeing a true working truck, like Orwell, to the princess trucks whose “work” consists of pulling a trailer to the service dealer every 3 months to prove they do something. Don't get me wrong I like the princess trucks - some are fabulous - but a work truck out does them everyday. Its to late now but next year put Orwell on show - not a “shine and show” but let people see what a truck that earns its keep looks like.

[@CircleD1]

I don't know about there but in Shreveport Louisiana there is an abandoned line running North/South they state wants to make a walking trail but in the contracts way back when have a clause that if the line was ever abandoned the land would revert to the individual land owners. The land owners are fighting for the return but the state is fighting to keep it. I've since moved away from there so I don't know what t he ultimate outcome ended up being.

[@mikerooney7928]

Feel the same sometimes, with my ‘02 Dale Earnhardt Monte Carlo SS…..love your videos tho, go “Orwell”

[@HyperActive7]

You have to wonder what someone was willing to pay on the bottom end of the estimate to get a rolling scrap heap like that.

[@larrybe2900]

Possibly a campground making for a better operation. That wouldn't see a lot of work and the smell can be relocated. Possibly large on site dumpsters attract more trash.

[@johnmcdowell9059]

hello steve watch youre videos enjoy them what trans do you have in orwellis it a rto 9513 or a 12513

What happens to .Maggie is still helping you out at the shop still

[@moefuggerr2970]

Pain.

[@kylederry5031]

For some reason freightshakers and sterlings ( both made by Daimler ag) like using some of the most brittle plastic for their dashboards known to man. At least on M2's you can still buy replacement pieces but sterlings have been discontinued since 09. I'm a tech and I've gotten really good at resecuring those pieces of shit. What was wrong with the old L9000 dash? Metal, screws, panels, easy to open up. These break breathing on the damn things. The dash valves are always loose and wobbly because the inner skeleton is plastic as well. Same problem with M2's. The kick panel cover on the passenger floor access to the cabin filter and blower motor likes to fuck off too. At least the sterlings is under the hood on the fire wall

[@johnwudarcki9315]

How many people do you ever see on these bike paths/sidewalks? Very few in my experience

[@JohnHallgren]

Depends on where they are and time of day/year. On the bike paths that used to be railroad tracks near my summer home, there’s hundreds per day at minimum then.

[@williamfenner9915]

The handle that is in the front part of the body. The PTO is not in gauged

Still watching at 31:06 but seems he unscrewed the left side but not the matching right side one, at this point?

[@rayhiller]

I am a driver that drives a rear loader like that in the video I have been driving for 17 years

[@JohnHallgren]

@@rayhiller Before he went to ask for help, he had walked by the locking pin on right side that was still in place after getting the left one somewhat loose, and then the first guys trying to help seemed to miss that as well. But later in video, both locking pins are out at 45 degrees so someone must have noticed it.
