Just for the record, in most states, an air brake endorsement only applies to CDL drivers. Many states do not require residents to have any special license requirements to drive a 54,000 lb motorhome with air brakes. I personally wanted to learn as much as I could about driving with air brakes prior to getting behind the wheel, even though my state didn't required it.

So happy to see you drive the Mack! I remember the first time I pulled a heavier truck onto the road and got on the gas pedal, I was surprised how swiftly the “lumbering beast” moved out...with the torquey motor and high kinetic mass. When there is nice tonnage on the hitch, the sensation is equally satisfying, maybe even a bit more. Traffic becomes less fun with a heavy load, but the long trips are really a joy in these newer trucks.

Take out the KW T-800 is my vote. I put 1.5 million miles in a couple of gold bulldog Mack's (and am a proud owner of the Mack 1 Million Mile Award) before moving off into a career in trucking safety. I worked for a brewery in Allentown Pennsylvania and we leased our trucks from Penske Leasing and the company insisted on Mack trucks being in the home of Mack trucks. I drove one of the first air-ride cabs produced by Mack and the selected drivers had to give feedback on the air-ride cabs. I loved the 300 Maxidyne engine with the 5 speed trans and full-screw differential. We drove around everything in the snow. Nice video and brought back memories.

The Mack did not have air ride on the steering. If the OTR Kenworth has it you should feel the ride difference. Also, about the comment about super singles, having tried them years ago I do not like the way they handle in snow and I do not like the thought of a single blowing and being dead in the water if I can't limp to a truck stop.

Jerry Ashley I agree. I drive trucks in the vocational side of things. Mostly concrete. With the heavy front axles, we don’t have a choice. But as for the rears, I don’t like the way super singles handle. When you make a turn with a loaded concrete mixer, it’s not especially nice feeling. You can imagine the tire bending under the wheel when doing it. Also on the freeway, the drive is quite squirrelly compared to duals. I think duals look better too, but I’m probably the minority there. It’s all about weight savings to the huge corporations and one wheel and tire, however bigger, weighs less than two wheels and tires. That translates to more product on the truck.

The trucks were no where near as nice as these. I still have my full CDL plus coach. Just renewed it so I’m good for another 5 years. If possible can you take a W900 with sleeper out for a spin? If not any KW highway truck would be fine. A Volvo Globetrotter full highway truck would be nice also. Thanks

To simplify, air brake systems are spring applied, air released. You need air pressure to release the brakes. Reduce air pressure and the springs apply braking force. Lose all air you get full spring pressure applying the brakes. Increase air pressure you release the brakes.

The sales rep didn't do a very good job of describing how the air brakes work. 1st of all the driver cannot just carry a tool to do the adjustment. Brakes are self adjusting now. If you get pulled in to the scale house or inspected by DOT and they find your brakes are out of service they will not just allow a driver to make adjustments. Nowadays you have to be certified.. The sales rep also explains that the valve evacuated all the air out of the system. What it actually does is it evacuated the air out of the break canisters. The system which usually is composed of multiple reserve tanks remains full. The only time that the system evacuated is if you're talking about the trader system..

Big Truck Big RV yes I wasn’t sure how far you are from it. The main plant in in Oregon they also have one in Florida. Prevost (in my opinion) is the top coach builder on the planet. Marry that to one of the top converters and you have one hell of a motorhome. Even a 15 year old coach will outlast anything coming out of those other manufactures. Marathon, Liberty, Millennium and Featherlight are the big 4 in the conversion. If you feel like a road trip take your RV to Oregon for a full tour of their production facility. They have full hookup campsites You could use if you want to stay over. Im betting Marathon would love the exposure from such a successful channel. Your background in engineering would only enhance the experience.

Good video! So based on what you shared in this video, the answer to your question from a while ago seems to be that using a full-on class 7/8 truck vs. a a class 3 or class 4 truck is not a good idea because a standard fifth wheel rv (like your chaparral) doesn't have enough pin weight. This lack of pin weight means you could still easily bobtail.

I thing is I saw yrs ago about a Peterbuilt that they were beginning to make a medium duty truck with aerodynamic bodies I know more and more big time ranchers here are going to medium duty trucks. My thing is I would need a 4x4 truck for where I live but need it crew cab and with a higher gear ratio for taking on trips and everyday type driving. I'm sure there maybe others like me interested in trucks sort of like this.

It's Mack that rebranded Volvo engines and transmissions as Mack, not the other way around. Some manufacturing and setup are brand specific (Volvo Europe, Volvo NA, Mack, Renault), and MAck does still build things like axles and suspension. But when Volvo bought Mack (actually Renault VI that owned Mack since 1990) the first thing they did was to shut down Mack engine. Witch is normal, a same company doesn't need to build two completely different engines for the same application!

Actually that's not exactly true, Mack was building their own engines until 2004-2005 engines when compound turbos came out for emissions and were a disaster for Mack. I know because my 2004 CH613 went thru 21...yes count them 21 turbos...thankfully all under warranty before I got rid of that truck! That was in less than 2 years that I owned that truck! Everyone else that had those engines had the same problems and that is when Volvo pulled the plug on Mack engine production. Mack engines 2003 and older were some of the most reliable engines out there, 2004 and on the engine itself was great never had issues but those Turbos were garbage!

If you can find someone who will let you drive a big wrecker, maybe with a rotator. That be great. I know that may be asking a lot. And it is. Great video.

A class A will allow you to drive any combination vehicle, tractor trailer combo. Double and triple endorsements are required when pulling more than one trailer.

in the beginning of the video he says you should be able to service the brake system if you’re a driver, It may have changed since I went to truck driving school but at the time you had to be a certified mechanic to adjust self adjusting slack adjusters, drivers were not allowed to do it.

Big Truck, interesting video! I always wanted a go at a semi but never had the opportunity. Quick non-related question, what is the process in Texas to get a Class A Exempt license? The new F350 and 5er have a MCWR of 29k.

I used to own and operate a 26' Box truck that had air brakes, you didn't need any type of license or endorsement to operate the truck because it was under 26001 gvw. I used to show other drivers what they should do every day before driving their trucks, such as how to test them to make sure they where operating properly and basically anything I could think of that would make it safer for them to be out on the road with others because most of them had no idea.

Yeah you need the endorsement on your license and what you teach how to operate and test is what the endorsement requires to simply pass the test for it.

At 14:15 I'm thinking the diffs. are top loader, for multiple rear axles, ( drive shafts )the military requests this set up for easy field repairs ,(2.5 an 5ton ) Rockwell ,we run the 2.5s on rock crawlers ,there strong, But heavy, easy to make rear steering setup . frt diff can be removed , turn 180° and be installed on the rear, very flexible , did I mention that they are Heavy as Well.
