Cabover's Day Goes Terrible On Customer's Inaccurate Information

[@AMStationEngineer]

"Gas only moves your arse, Diesel moves the world", never thought of it in that way, but OH how true!

[@csgergo80]

Maybe not even that, I have a diesel car.

[@garymaynard7562]

As you said, if you wear it, drive it. eat it, and virtually everything we have, at one point or many, has been on a truck. Thanks for your service, Steve! Take care. my friend.

[@kristoffermangila]

You're right about diesel moving the world! And every time diesel prices worldwide go up, everybody suffers...

[@jimm8246]

I like the night shots. Freight yards in the dark.

[@Alanb6]

I seem you at the Benton harbor Michigan truck stop while you had this load

[@82randyacman]

You hit the nail on the top of the head about how things are going.

[@alsup11]

Another great video there Steve. I am enjoying your longer. The guy unloading the plow didn't seem to happy with his job. Kept complaining about everything being a pain to unload. Keep doing what your doing and stay safe.

[@GameRunnerd]

Kept? He only complained once. The only one that complained during this video was the guy driving the truck. The last half of the video was him complaining about the train station, and not being unloaded, because he didn't get their by 2 PM like his dispatch literally told him to do. He thought he knew it all. Then he started complaining to the forklift drivers, first words out of his mouth. Like they had anything to do with what he was told. I hate unloading truck drivers like that. All they do is bitch when you literally have zero control over anything. Which is why that maintenance guy who singed the papers said 2 works the entire time. You could tell he didn't give a shit. It's 6 AM bro just woke up, last thing he wanted to do was hear a truck driver complaining.

[@maverick-zj3jz]

I like your , personality, laid back.

[@vanbraxton8422]

Man you have gotten so much better at the video production, the music is much funkier and better, to me. , like i told you before, your camera set up system is the best of any truck videos, Keep up the great work😊😅10-4

[@bostedtap8399]

You've been busy, great to see all the family involved 👍. Great work and video, thanks for sharing

[@mikeservalish5981]

Wow, if I knew when you were in the area I would’ve stopped to say hi I frequent that yard quite a bit and I remember last week the week of October 29 remember seeing a crate like that on your trailer and I drove by it and sure enough it was a shaft or one of the parts for one of the cranes they use here to lift the containers off the trains and put on the chassis. I remember seeing you over at the southern Michigan railroad back in August was very nice to meet you then,great video as always keep up the good work keep on trucking and God bless

[@robertsmith7580]

Orwell is a conversation piece for sure !

[@Iwanncamp]

You were lucky being able to stay in a secure area overnight. I ran coils between Toledo and that Steel Plant in Detroit where that driver was shot and his truck was burned down. I stayed in the same lot a week prior

[@leonardmsl68]

All I know is when I was growing up diesel fuel was cheaper than gasoline

[@DaveSomething]

the switch came around 2005... along with higher interest rates.

[@macmcdougald1769]

Are you saying that you don’t know who tied your shoes this morning?

[@francesacoy4730]

IT SHOULD STILL BE. DIESEL is at the bottom of refining process.

[@brianadams429]

If you think back diesel was only used by commercial trucks, ships, tractors back in the day. Then in the late 70's to early 80's Mercedes made that diesel powered car. The early to mid 80's Gm had a diesel engine (converted from gas). Ford had the little courier trucks that had a diesel option in the early 80's.the F series got the international 6.9 diesel option in 1984. I remember seeing diesel for .29 per gallon and gas at .49 per gallon. Those diesels in daily drivers were like unicorns. Everyones daily was gas powered. Then people caught on to diesel being cheaper and getting better fuel mileage in the late 80's to early 90's into the 2000's. So less car sales which Gm, Ford, and Chrysler discontinued a bunch of models for lack of sales. So now they have a car or two, a suv or two, and trucks. So when so many people were buying diesel pickups, the fuel companies flipped the script because their profits were going down . Gas was their cash cow. Now that diesel is so high in price along with the premium price increase to buy a diesel trucks, like Steve said when he bought his new truck.

Damm went right bye me in Michigan and didn't even get at me bummer.🤣 isn't no doubt ORWELL is an amazing machine!!

[@ralgith]

One of these days, I'd love to know ahead of time that you're headed to Michigan. Especially as close to me as Grand Rapids is. I'd have met you with a home cooked meal. As a fellow (though, now part time a couple weekends a month) trucker, I know how nice a good homecooked meal can be.

[@fredbancroft6436]

Steve keep making the long vids great content and I have all the time in the world to watch🎃

[@StevelsCamping]

Thank you for you being a trucker.... need more like you.

[@Ndw1995]

I tell you what, if I ran a trucking company, I'd send invoices to shippers/receivers that made my drivers sit around due to miscommunication. $250 per hour for the first 4, then $500 per hour after that, and I'd split it with the driver 50/50. I remember when BS like that used to be unacceptable, but now society has softened and people get away with just about anything now

[@timbodnar6711]

They won't pay it. They won't even pay attention, which is written on almost every rate confirmation. The drivers are always getting treated like crap. Granted, there are a lot of POS drivers. But we're not all like that.

[@Ndw1995]

@@timbodnar6711 If they don't pay it we never touch their freight again. Plenty of people need stuff moved, and there's not a lot of good drivers out there. The ones with good reputations have more leverage than they realize

[@rockeerockey6941]

Oh my 😅, I'm thinking nope!

[@mattbrown9484]

It’s more a sign of how much the broker is making vs the driver. Obviously somebody is making plenty of money.

Dam, wish I knew you up on the Detroit area .. Ferndale is north east of me, loved to have seen Orwell in person, I know exactly where your at, nice area .. your going to love Michigan roads around Detroit with a cab over

[@BuckInchuteranch1]

Great video, I learned a new way to handle the ratchet strap tail about a month before I quit hauling equipment. Roll it up like normal, then take the roll, loop it around the strap between the ratchet and hook. Then twist the roll sinching the loop around itself.

[@andrewgulland3925]

Hey Steve tell us more about the history of Orwell before you bought him. How did you find him and then get him on the road…

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the camera angles and your commentary. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.

[@psg6314]

Great video and keep up the good work God bless and have a safe trip and vacation from GA

[@davidkozina8856]

Hello Steve from NW Ohio, I know that rail yard well pulled many cans of tires out of there. Took cans of washing machines and dryers up to it. Safe travels my friend and enjoy your time off.

[@jackkramer9994]

You got some very nice footage of Grand Rapids, I was only about a mile and a half from your drop off just off of Century Ave. I like the shots coming through the S-curve also and when you were passing the medical mile on your right side going up the I196 hill.

[@darylthisdelle7702]

Wow, great video FSC. Lots going on about everything. Your channel has changed and your fans seam to all agree that we like the new and somewhat changing format. Your probably now on your way to California to do some running of the Razor. Have a good time at doing that and visiting your mom and dad in Texas. Have a great and safe day, happy trails…

[@Timrathmore]

I gotta say I love that cabover you got a dually ram pickup. Shes a beauty . Sorry about all the family things going on that tookl you away or pull you away. Sometimes it's for the best because I believe and I'm not trying to preach to you : God works in mysterious ways and though I have no explanation for the loss of life you experienced in your family. You probably had a different kind of energy returning to that cabover when you went to the shed and opened those overhead doors after being deviated multiple times. Maybe you need that pause button. I noticed you engaged and disengaged the differential. What's that all about!? Be safe and also God bless you

[@howardjacobs1325]

Great video Steve have a good week and stay safe 😊

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good beautiful evening brother

[@normanwoodward4440]

Ferndale??? That’s the town I grew up in from “1933 to 1952.” We used to play on those RR tracks, but it sure has changed since then when I visited there in 2021! Now I live in Houston, TX. My mom and dad had 3 1949 Dodge Cabovers doing auto haul away, and I got some early trucking habits in my system that have stuck with me to this day!

[@04tommac]

Hi Steve, If you covered this before, I missed it. What are your trailer dimensions? 50' O.A., how much space in the well? How much space on the upper deck and bogie? Love your new format, thanks.

[@Denis-tu1pd]

The oil refineries are 30 minutes away from where i live .the father away the cheaper it is . Awesome video

[@louisb229]

When you are in Tx, if you are in the DFW area you should stop by and say hi. I can't go to you, but you could do a "drive-by". I hope the joke worked, but it would be great to meet you in person.

Hi mate, enjoy the videos, especially when you are talking about the country you are driving through, and such. Just a thought, would a clip board come in handy, when it comes to the receiver signing the paper work. Should be easier for all concerned. Just a thought mate,cheers. John, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺

You should get yourself a clipboard. My dad always had a metal one he kept his paperwork in, makes it easier on the receivers to sign on a clipboard.

See that big piece of precast that past you when you were talking about your jake brake I used to haul them only 15 ft wide on a leen so they would only be 13 ft wide so you wouldn’t need an escort. This goes back to your video about AC and the casinos,fwiw

Here in New Zealand we pay about $12.50 a US gallon, so $24 US dollars + a road user change, tax per kilometers, and as you say Steve, jo blow don't know what, if the government puts up the road tax 5%, generally coat to consumers is 15-20% increas of goods

[@gazfish]

Curious, now you have an APU would you not save fuel starting it while you’re unloading instead of high-idling the big engine?

I only cut it off when it will stay off for a while.

Instead of a hammer, you might try a “shorty” wrecker bar. They’re about 15” long with one curved end. Cast between $7 -$12. Great for pulling those nailed in boards off (and nails out too).
