How to Haul Grain and Drive an 18 Speed

[@beauknowz]

We’ll done! Keep up the excellent production quality. Going into my 2nd year as an intermodal truck driver, freight haul between rail yards, and LTL carriers, it’s astounding how the industry has made it this far. Apparently the LAST person to consult as to improving the freight haul industry is - the truck driver. Just looking how inefficient the grain haul loading/unloading in this mini doc is causing my neck to cramp🤬 I live just outside of Chicago, despite the questionable reputation of the city and state, truckers rule here. Whether passing through or running intermodal. Having said that, I have to give a shout out to all the four wheelers whom all in all respect us truck drivers. Now if we could just teach you how to merge and drive with patience like “most” truck drivers, your driving social score would achieve an A+, and traffic would flo with less back ups and accidents! Just saying folks, take it easy out there for the rest of us gear jammers delivering 85% of your goods. 🤝

Hi I'm 14 years old and I'm planning on hauling grain for the farm when I get my driver's license. What's really funny tho is that we have that exact truck model lol!

[@FullLineAustin]

[@blakevanzanten5083]

Great video sir! Thanks for explaining shifting on a semi, that was really interesting and informative for me!

[@FullLineAustin]

Hey thanks Blake! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@lonepine5596]

Great vid Austin. Drone shots are a nice enhancement. Perhaps some lube on the grain slides?

[@FullLineAustin]

Thanks Lone Pine! Yes some lube would for sure help, will definitely be doing that before next time I have to haul!

[@johnearhart8811]

Fun video to watch. Thanks

[@FullLineAustin]

Thanks for watching John! Glad you liked it!

[@mowmanjones3353]

have to say good all around, most semi's now have automatic's in because people cant shift. so good job on knowing how to shift a 18 speed

[@FullLineAustin]

Thanks Mowman Jones! It took a fair bit of practice thats for sure!

[@WayneStcroix]

Yeah you shift differently i use every last gear

[@kenlynch6332]

Full Line AG sells sells Farm Harvesters & Tractors; and also hauls farm crops for farmers???? Do you pick up the wheat from a farmer and deliver to the mill??? Just seems like an odd side business for a Farm Equipment Dealer. Still very interesting, educational, and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing When my SDK shirt comes in I am going to see if I can get a job working at a certain dairy farm. I think I need an FLA shirt, which is more appropriate since I live in Florida 👍👍👍👍👍 X 3

[@scruffy6151]

Not uncommon that a dealership farms also.

[@FullLineAustin]

Thanks for the comment Ken! We own the dealership and farm as well! So I was hauling grain for ourselves! I wish I was in Florida today, we are just getting another winter storm here in Sask... Did you get your SDK shirt yet?!

[@kenlynch6332]

@@FullLineAustin I did and even sent SDK a photo

[@birhanemesqel8811]

How long does it usually take to load and unload the grain trailer ???????

[@FullLineAustin]

Including travel time? Or just only loading and dumping?

[@birhanemesqel8811]

@@FullLineAustin Just wanted to know the load and unload time

[@birhanemesqel8811]

@@FullLineAustin Travel time is a topic on its own and you mentioned in your video that you sometimes wait 1-2 hours in a lineup

[@dustinbezugly]

Haha! Man filming and cranking shoots with one hand is way more impressive!

[@pjcampbell67]

That line is worse than the drive through COVID vaccine sites! :/

[@FullLineAustin]

Hahaha no doubt 😂

[@dainguyen3972]

This Grain elevator G3 makes me remember the one near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan when I was there first time, driving super B, 18 speed for Westwood, almost 3 years ago.

[@robinghunt]

Great vid Austin. You hauling for yourselves or someone else?

[@nicolasp7395]

Great video dude! And very good explanation of the 18speed!! Do you know if some companies grain haulers are hiring immigrants or have a program for them and get into trucking? Watch your videos from Argentina

[@FullLineAustin]

Thank you! I didn’t know of any companies but I will keep an eye out! Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoy 👍

[@saltymilkandcoinz]

Great vid Austin. I'm getting into grain hauling after being off the road for 13 years. How often do you have to get under your hopper and sweep it out? Is it hard?

[@FullLineAustin]

I don’t have to really sweep out my hoppers too much! If I am switching between certain crops or from seed to fert I’ll sweep them out but it’s super easy and doesn’t take much time at all!

[@dcal702]

Great off the farm content. Amazing editing. I don't get why your channel doesn't get more subs and views.

[@FullLineAustin]

Hopefully it keeps growing! I really appreciate you watching David!

[@kentonleriger8288]

You farm and own dealer ??

[@FullLineAustin]

Yes!
