Pulled In Illinois Weigh Station! Overweight Cabover Peterbilt

[@donalddodson7365]

Thank you, Steve, for your contribution to transportation, on the road and via KZbin. Thank you, Chris, for picking up the pace in the garage. Here's a little gift for the "Make Owell's Instrument Panel Great Again!" fund. 😂

[@fsctrucking]

Thank you!

[@mbrnd1]

I am an X long haul driver, retired now, started in 1976 at age 73. Sure appreciate this driver, memories are awesome, thanks, even if I am strictly a KW man.

[@maxracingteam23]

Chris is the man!! Keeping the FSC Shop run like a well oiled machine

[@jbj27406]

That dude can paint too! That frame on the Freightliner looks like new. He did a helluva job on that trailer too. He can really do just about anything in the shop. Good dude.

[@donalddodson7365]

But when Chris is alone, who is on "Fire Watch?" 😂🤣😎

[@shawngleason1345]

Don't let the size fool you. The Cat 425 and Cummins 400 were the backbone of this country for many years they had to start making them with more HP to compensate for the added emissions. You had the 425 then when electronics came in the picture the 435 was the engine of choice then the 475. I've been running a 475 many years and I'll tell you Orwell could probably out pull me.

[@Got_Your_6]

wasn't the first E model still considered a 3406, 425? I know there was a 435 but I always thought every E model I've driven up to the mid-90s when they were new were still considered a 425. But you know I learn something everyday, and you're right about the emissions killing the engines.

[@shawngleason1345]

@Got_Your_6 When they first came out I know it was simply a 425 converted to electronic but was still called a 435 I say that because I had a mechanic once offer to change it to the 425 but after that first year they made other changes to it couldn't be converted

[@joescheller6680]

Run three emodel cats that put out way over 425. Set to run 550 but they will out pull any twinn turbo cat on the road and get dam good fuel milage

[@trishlarrysnyder1008]

Hey Steve I have seen all your videos and like them. I am not a trucker it would be nice if you could explain things like weight stations, hours you can drive, and possibly things that the general public wouldn’t know. Keep on Trucking

[@ryanpurchase332]

I rolled across the scale while you were there. Only reason I know this is because I was checking out your cab over as I was pulling up to the scale and recognized the lime green machine on the back. What a coinsidence. Merry Christmas Chris. Safe travels brother. 👍👍

[@chrismononen663]

I like the feature of switching back and forth to FSC HQ. keep the good stuff coming.

[@markfierke8565]

Needs the spinning logo each time

[@robertparkhurst8167]

THAT TRUCK SOUNDS GOOD

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Nice part of the video switching to FSC shop showing Kris painting Elaine's rear frame rails and axles. Then back to Steve running that EV Striker down the road through Kentucky. Thanks for sharing stay safe Steve and Chris.

[@clarencewiles963]

Good editing with the shop work added in. I’m seeing more through your windshield and stuff I never thought about. Thanks again for sharing your drive.

[@johnmull3840]

Might want to fix air horns blowing at the scale house pull you back around 😊

[@radpaddler]

Die Position hinten auf dem Auflieger ist immer sehr schön . Danke für die Tour

[@JimDog794]

Keep on truckin' Steve and Orwell 👍

[@timoneill2451]

I was waiting for next video , just finish you pulling into weigh station enjoy your video you and Chris make great team Tim

[@chrislj2890]

Excellent video, and it was neat the way you interspersed Chris with the road footage. Not gonna lie, I will feel more comfortable once that big arse load is delivered.

[@timoneill2451]

I was waiting for next video , just finish you pulling into weigh station enjoy your video you and Chris make great team , do more videos see what Chris is working on you driving makes content Tim

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Chris is spraying black paint on the frame of the Freightliner so he won’t have blue hair anymore. 😂

[@keithhutzler1196]

Getting rid of the gray hairs 😅

[@horacedown8647]

Such dedication and attention to detail and I reckon no bare spots and no runs nice work Chris. It looks like it was his own truck and you would or should put your hand up and say " I did that don't it look good " . NICE with a VERY in front!

[@jbj27406]

Spoils is the term for that stuff that the dredges dredge up. They'll try to be as economical as possible in disposing of it, but sometimes do build islands if need be. Good vid.

[@donalddodson7365]

Yes, reuse if possible. Unfortunately, some of dredging brings up contaminants which become very expensive to deal with.😢

[@mikepenney6452]

Steve, once again great job at taking a different approach in blending in both aspects of your business. I really appreciate each video you upload has a slightly different blend of clips. Both you guys do great work! Thankyou for sharing.

[@roberthooper2242]

Chris is one all around guy, painter, welder fabracator. and mechanic all rolled into one.

[@SquireJazz]

I like the way you explain things in these vids. Good work.

[@henryg683]

Now you have me wondering what Chris is doing with those pieces of channel steel in the shop??! I’m really enjoying the shop content!!!

[@doherty2jz845]

Orwell rollin some coal after the weight station.

[@richardmassey2699]

You know its nice that the scale master cares about the safety of the highways like that.🤣😉

[@jonathanbair523]

He sounded nice *shrugs* glad he peaked at the paper work then sent him on his way... The guy working the scale could really hang a driver up wanting to look the rig over..... Dang could the hot-shot of picked a worse place to drop his load? Come on man there is a full parking lot to keep the load safe and drop it rather then a exit of the scales...

[@tenfourproductionsllc]

And I'm sure he cares about getting a few Franklin's also.... Nah, truckers don't do that.....

[@joescheller6680]

I envy you strolling around in that cab over. I still have good memories of cab over trucking. Would jump back in one in a heart beat.

[@gj5250]

Love the switch back content. Looks like Chris is making a bench grinder pedestal out of an old hub.

[@HansMartinØvre]

Another exellent video showing a truckdrivers life.

[@horacedown8647]

Nice blend of compresser noise and Orwell's hum on the highway

[@johnnyzippo7109]

FSC Trucking my GO TO for relaxing heavy haul content . FSC Trucking channel proves out authentic wins the day ! I must say I wish the Detroit 12 cylinder had worked out .

[@fsctrucking]

It didn't not work out. It just has to wait.

[@anthonybuzzelli]

Got my shirts last week!👍🙂

[@mileskg21]

another great video bossman 🙂👍

[@AndrewJackson-mf5qp]

Good to see you doing a lighter job for a change with the painting Chris so enjoy. The big guy is going to like his truck starting to look like it could be going down the road soon and I must admit it is going to look good as its a bit different to the average one.

[@wyatt12358]

good attitude, clean good looking truck, cargo secured right, paper in order and neat DOT is more likely to leave you alone.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Steve and Chris👍👍👍

[@larrychristopher9147]

Good video, you're really good at driving this thing. I live near that scale house you pulled thru. Glad they didn't hassle you. Safe travels!

[@mattyw190]

Awesome video Steve A nice mix of shop content and on the road content.😊😊😊

[@noddydean9395]

great vid Chris making that old scrap truck into a nice shining light well done him

[@TimIvins]

I know u cant wait until Elaine is done, its a cool freightshaker & it looks cool & I know ur going to have lots of fun with it

[@MrGrumblier]

Amazing how being polite and prepared makes things easier.

[@isawthelight]

Excellent Video Steve and the updates from the shop thanks Chris keep filming your work as well. Great content!

[@GDuTriou]

Hi now that is a first class vid ,best of both worlds 👍

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

Way to stay positive Steve, 😊 at the weigh scale, they love when you come in all organized 😮. Love that your able to bring Chris along from the F.S.C. H.Q. Elaine? Is going to be one nice rig when she is ready to go, looks, Mechanically great❕️ soon to sound great too, Chris will have her all straightened out, looking forward to two trucks and the shop filming, so much growth in the very near future. Thanks Steve, you never quit😮 lm sure one day you may tell us how tight it got before Chris and so much more came in to play. Stay positive and double down for only a bit longer, your hard work has paid off, then the 9,000 FORD❕️ ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOURS OVER THE CHRITMAS HOLIDAYS 😊 ✌🏻🧡 🇨🇦.

[@BobbyDanin-c4g]

I’d LOVE to see that hemi dually of yours pull half of what a Cummins would. That salesman got you hook line and sinker if you actually believed it had the same capability. It’s not even CLOSE. lol. Pegged out with 15,000 behind you getting 3mpg is for fools!

[@Tom-In-Ga]

Has anyone else noticed that Chris's hair and beard are getting a little longer? Or that they're getting a little whiter and his face is getting redder? And Christmas is getting close? Coincidence? Maybe not. It does seem like he's Steve's miracle worker!

[@larrybailey43]

Let her roar ! Stay Safe and have a nice trip

[@kenlee5509]

I like the music during Chris's painting.

[@dukes20084]

Catching up on your video's tonight. Really got me thinking. Maybe I miss OTR more than I thought. I've been local for almost 2 years now. It has been nice being home every night. However, I've had that itch to go out again. I would have to buy me a truck to OTR again. Eh, for now. I'll try to keep scratching the itch watching your videos.

[@johnsadventures6783]

I used to haul oversized that were three inches over at the top. The bottom skid was legal width. I'd run flags and signs in the daytime, then take it all off and haul butt at night.

[@mikeratcliff1446]

I just crossed over that bridge last week. Its a great scenic road.

[@OldassBoomer]

The weather has been great in Jacksonville. Safe and speedy travels as you head South.

[@JoeHupp]

Steve, my ears perked up when you said that fire truck was coming over to Australia… that’s where I live!

[@kennysaunders1909]

Just some friendly info from a. Cat tech your engine which is a 3406B jacket water after cooled max hp for a on highway truck engine of that model was 400 hp. The 425 hp did not come out until air to air after cooling was introduced

[@ehcatsfaneric2211]

I like the split video..cool to see progress from both of you

[@larrydaniels7039]

Love the old school cab overs👍🏽

[@tracymiller1881]

Steve, the whole reason Illinois won't let anything oversized run at night is they're afraid they will miss a dollar and Chicago...

[@stevesmith9118]

Ain’t that the truth 😂

[@trishlarrysnyder1008]

Orwell sounds and looking good

[@DarkFlamage]

Heya Steve, Chris, You've heard of "Blue Man Group" ??? I was kinda thinkin' you guys might do, "Blue Frame Group" ..as a way to tie FSC Truck & Trailer Fleet together. Shop update snippets??? Yes, that works!

[@larrybrown7273]

Another outstanding segment Steve DOT thought they'd catch hoy slippin

[@henryg683]

Steve it’s a true blessing having Chris in the shop and I’m so happy for you to find a great guy like him to keep things going so you’re able to keep hauling!!! The other day when the brakes froze is a prime example of how great it is having him in your corner for getting it done in a timely manner!!! Keep up the amazing content and I hope that you and Jen and everyone ( your sons and Chris family) have a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and Happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆!!!

[@curtishopwood2973]

That is Sand they are dredging from the River Bottom, some of which is sold by a Materials company right there in Paducah. The bridge to the "North" (actually East) of you is the Irvin Cobb Bridge that carries US 45 across the Ohio.

[@JeffMartin-r3b]

And I wish you and stave and Jenn and chirs a married Christmas and a happy new year to all of you and all the best to you

[@thefarmboyhimself5563]

Been by that scale many of times 👍 keep on truckin driver!

[@georgebrockman1140]

Mont Eagle i bet Orwell would really get down and dig on that hill

[@RussellClement-p1t]

Love the show guys!

[@DavidDishman-vc4tk]

Good evening Steve good to see Orwell is doing well and I hope you are doing well too

[@georgebrockman1140]

I'm surprised he didn't know who Orwell was 😮😅😊

[@DavidDishman-vc4tk]

@ I know who Orwell is it’s the truck the cabover

[@danielseelye6005]

​@@DavidDishman-vc4tk He's referring to the guy at the scales.

[@DavidDishman-vc4tk]

@@danielseelye6005 gotcha

[@midwestlee-iw8nl]

never heard of your channel , but I enjoyed it . I was in Paducah Tuesday . i24 . everything cheaper in Kentucky than Illinois .

[@tabithasalb9903]

Enjoyed the over the road then back to HQ

[@saxworship]

Nice to see the freightliner getting spruced up.

[@fighter4christ7]

Love the doom music pulling in. Never knew those B model 3406’s were stock 425hp the E Model I have is 475 stock.

[@sidneyhoopengardner1612]

Please keep inserting shop scenes, makes the video more interesting.

[@REDDOGG24]

That bridge over the Ohio River to your left south bound I-24 about a mile up river is one of the most dangerous bridges in the country. It’s a steal grate bridge. You can look it up man it’s freaky. My wife and I got off 24 north one time and went over that bridge. It is loud it is close quarters 2 lane pulls you around and barely have enough room to get two cars side by side on that bridge. Cool vid. I’m headed down to Ocala Dec 26 from Chicago. Take 57 to 24 to 75. Love that drive!!!

[@larrychristopher9147]

Brookport bridge, heavily used

[@REDDOGG24]

Yes that’s it that bridge is crazy man.

[@Vexumy]

saw you on 90/39 north heading into wisconsin the other day!

[@johndonovan7018]

i love how he grows hair when he is in the shop, then shaves it when he gets back to driving......

[@JanesDough855]

Bet you're glad to get into some warmer weather.

[@johnr7794]

Good video, thank You.

[@robertdonaldson6584]

My late father was on the board of directors of XTRA INC piggy back trailers when the company was founded.

[@elijames3041]

Good evening Steve

[@sunnyray2048]

🍭SWEET🍭Luv when you have tall loads & place the camera looking down on Orwell’s cab especially at night. Like the shot a few videos ago using that angle on Orwell & the St Louis Gateway Arch (night). Beautiful!!! Like to have a poster of that! Nice insert of the genius at work😉👍🏻Stay safe & God Bless🙏🏼💖🇺🇸🌞🌲🌟☃

[@WillCarter1976]

First 45 seconds into the vid... Looks like the old Peotone Weigh Station I-57 SB. That place is notorious.

[@paullogan9960]

Back in 2002 57 north. Right there on the scale "DRIVER SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND LOCK IT IN GEAR" I was just a wee bit heavy. Moorebark tub grinder. Walked in with everything. Looks at permit, looks at scale weights, looks at me. rinse and repeat, then again. Picks up pen signs, stamps, dates, times it and says " I hate it when your legal" Go on get out of here! 103,560 on a scale ticket. confirming how much I was under I went up to the T?A and added 100 Gal to truck and 100 Gal to grinder. Dropped it in K.C, Mo. from S. C.

[@johndebord3957]

Thats why you should always go around the scales or do a flyby

[@ronnieterry4916]

It's always great when going into the scale house is just a quick in and out.

[@NightStalkers-hx3dq]

More power Mr Scott!

[@Jyarber102]

Id get me some one to fix the lil oil leak on the inj pump and have it set up to 525 at least 😊😊

[@paulwright5167]

I always thought the main reason wide loads were restricted at night had to do with the fact DOT officers won't work during the night, and most scales are closed. They want to keep you in their sight, in the day not at night.

[@keithleiterman2185]

Wow! Should I be jealous? My wife just commented that she's impressed that Chris has a full head of hair. She's only ever seen him with a hat on. My comment was when he started painting. What color was his hair going to be this week? 😊

[@petahdickinson1782]

It’ll be great to see the frame rails to the ford so it could go back together be running and driving

[@raypeoples]

I spent 8 hours at that weigh station back in the eighties waiting on the company to get my over weight load legal,memories!

[@MEKKER1B2]

In my country, the really big oversize is moved exclusively at night.(400 ton transformers and such)

[@TimIvins]

Hey Steve, since u got the front end rebuilt on Orwell did u get a new set of steers & the front end alignment done

[@luluczs]

Nice seeing Steve in Illinois wearing only a tee-shirt : you tough dude and I suspect this DOT guy only wanted to see your rig .👌Greetings from France and yeah we need a D.Trump here too.✊

[@trishlarrysnyder1008]

[@tennesseedave6771]

I have always wandered the same thing,b alot easier to move in less traffic but they don't get it bc they never have had to deal with traffic with big load

[@fighter4christ7]

I 100% agree with those ridiculous curfew hours. All thought up by geniuses who never held a CDL.
