Full Day Earning Money With Cheap Auction Peterbilt

[@jimcrossland557]

Just a couple tips from an retired truck driver. When I first started an old driver told me to never pull into a place thatyou will have to back out of. If you backed into your barn at night you can just pull out in the morning. Second, it is illegal to shift gears while on a railroad track and also unsafe for you. You are doing a great job!

[@jimcheatham8306]

Plan your shifts around curves not in the middle of them, especially when loaded. When you're stopped planning on turning, as you are moving straight forward grab a couple gears. Complete the turn and start grabbing gears again as your truck and trailer is straightening up. When you shift in the middle of the turn your tires are scuffing the road and it will feel like your truck wants to go backwards when in-between gears. 50 years of driving and I still grind a gear every once in a while.😉

Hello laura, i am a full time truck driver in Europe and my advice for when you park a truck in a building always do it backword so when you take it out forward.

Laura: The best I could haul with the rig I drove in IL. Was 800 bu. That's when the gross weight was 73,280 . I didn't, have a belly dump. All the elevators had a lift to dump the load . When I had a Load to the Michigan Dock elevator the wait time could be 4-5 hr. To the Illinois river I could make 5 loads a day hauling from a Farm . So I could leave my rig at the farm after I loaded for the day.

[@craneoperator37]

Love this video. Love your attitude and personality. From my experience, just 2 items. Unplug the heater cord before you start the truck. When the engine is running and still plugged in, air bubbles in the moving coolant can contact your heater element. This can cause hot spots on your heater element leading to its failure. Also be careful using the "trolley brake" on the steering column. This brake will not hold if there is an air leak in the system. You did not leave the cab totally to get your scale ticket, but this could lead to trouble. The safe way is to apply the yellow brake button on the dash. This is a spring applied air released brake and is pretty much foolproof as long as your foundation brakes are in good working order. I want you to stay safe.

Hello Laura. We've been following your journey from the very beginning and enjoy watching every one of your videos. While watching this current one, we noticed something that was a little concerning when you had your hands on each side of the center bar of the steering wheel you had your thumbs around the bar. We rode with a log truck driver years ago and he said when you're driving, never wrap your thumbs around the steering wheel(even driving a car),because if you have a flat or hit a pothole, it will break your thumbs. He also taught us how to go smoothly over railroad tracks in a truck or even a car. He said to put your foot on the brake, while excelerating at the same time(basically power braking), it really works. Please give Pepper a hug from us! Happy Farming!❤️🌽❤️

Re: moving the hood. You don't need additional weight, just a bit of leverage. You have all you need around you to make a little bracket/fixture on the lower part of the front of the hood to hook something like a long piece of scaffold tube into it so that you can pull it over with the aid of a long lever. The easiest way to get this done would be to suggest it as a challenge to your nearest and dearest boys...

[@b61mack56]

Laura, you are by far the first farmer I have seen with perfectly manicured nails.😂 But as a truck driver two things. 1. You can leave your Jake brake on, once you step on the gas pedal or clutch it will disengage automatically. 2. Never use your trolley brake ( read the writing on top of the handle) to hold the vehicle when you get out of that seat. Just pull your tractor brakes ( yellow one ) or one day you'll find yourself chasing your truck and trailer down a road. Just saying

[@hughcrandall254]

Leaving the Jake on when you float the gears won't work. you'll kill the engine. You need to double clutch to leave the Jake on. Off the throttle energizes the Jake, clutching de-energizes the brake.

Sure happy to see another video of what's currently going on at your farm that is so much like what is going for us farmers here in northeast Missouri. I wondered last fall where you taking/storing your grain; and the last bin site I remember in your videos was at your dad's. I've got to tell you, like in your last post, and especially this one, that I really like to see the surrounding, Nebraska countryside near your farm and around Aurora. Your dirt is better than ours; and to me, the flat countryside where you live and farm is some of the best looking scenery on earth. I'm saying this after having driven a semi-truck over-the-road all over the United States; and after traveling overseas in the US Army. I have mentioned to you before that I have delivered to Iams many times (sometimes once or twice a week) on the west side of Aurora; and I drove all over Hamilton and Adams counties when I went to the "Red Power Roundup" in Grand Island in 2023. I have made a gazillion trips myself pulling a hopper bottom to haul mostly corn (some soybeans) from the farm to the nearby, Mississippi River terminals along with the ethanol plant on US36 east of Macon, MO. Some of my hopper-bottom trips hauling corn involved crossing the Mississippi River at Canton, MO on a ferry boat to deliver to Meyer, Illinois. Fully loaded with two semi's (naturally, us farmers were overloaded grossing 85,000-90,000 lbs.) the ferry really rocked around a lot with the bow coming out of the water as we drove on to the deck. Well, again, given a chance, I could just talk and talk visiting with you, and Grant, in person; and I'm sure you and Grant have the same passion for farming as I do.

You don't drive it far enough to justify spending the money to buy the big fancy truck! You did great, but just a few little tips. Don't use the jakes on gravel roads, & your shifting is ok. Try lugging the engine down to about 1200 rpm. I think you have the old style Detroit, the sweet spots for shifting the old style Detroit diesels for best performance & best fuel mileage is 1200 to 1600 rpm. In other words lug the engine down to 1200 & shift upshift around 1600. Try progressive shifting when you can, especially empty! Also, never shift when crossing tracks. Not criticizing, you're doing well. Just a few pointers from an old trucker that's been driving a truck longer than you've been alive!!😂😂

You would have a lot less trouble shifting if you would just use your clutch, that's why they put one on a truck, if used properly you will never grind gears and it would allow you to shift faster and more smoothly.

I miss driving stick. When I moved from a sedan to an F150, I had to give it up. I can't even remember the last time an F150 had a manual option. I used to drive commercial trucks one summer, and I had to learn speed shifting - that's what the old hat called it - because the clutch adjustment went way out of whack on a trip and we couldn't figure out how to fix it. At certain speeds, both sides of the transmission are spinning close enough to the same speed where you can shift without the clutch and just a minor change in engine speed with the throttle. I got good at it very quickly because I needed to.

The other person was right you do not need low gear when you're loaded that's more for out in the field. First gear on the gravel or the pavement is fine when you're loaded second or third empty should pull that just fine. And remember don't shift going through corners Don't shift going over train tracks. Also that big black truck is gorgeous but the bigger the truck the less the payload the lighter the smaller the truck the more payload the light or the smaller the truck the cheaper what you need is horsepower if you ran over the road big black would be great working on the farm doesn't matter the color light and simple will do the job and it pays better
