It was great meeting you and sharing my story. I use sarcasm to make people feel comfortable around me because they're not sure what to say or ask. I was inches away from being killed. I have the date 8/16/11 tattooed on my neck to remind me that was the worst day of my life. Any day after that I'm very grateful for. Stay safe! ✌️🦿

[@fsctrucking]

You are an inspiration to us all.

[@jeffokeefe533]

Welcome aboard Chris

[@stevespriggs3302]

All you can do is take one step at a time. He got knocked down so he came up with a way to live his life. Welcome on board to Chris and both you have stay safe enjoy your videos.

[@loquatdumpling]

I'm liking Chris already. "We r like minded" that made me like him. Soft spoken, humble and just the way he speak/talk he will b a good match with u steve. Welcome Chris🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@normanehrstein6088]

Steve, since you repaired the fuel pump I for sure see less black carbon coming out of the stacks. I have always thought that the engine was over fueling between shifts, running ALOT cleaner now. Have you noticed a change in your fuel consumption?

[@stranskyv452]

a lot less black smoke ,first thing i noticed when he left his yard.

[@NilsBeck-kk4nb]

Kudos to that biker. I lost my leg which ended my off road motorcycling. Miss riding so much. Stay safe Steve!

[@Fritzie73]

That's awesome you found a fantastic mechanic! Welcome Chris ❤ I hope you and your wife enjoy your new home and job! From another Buckeye, those winters are much worse then OH, I hope you packed your long John's! 😂

[@paulwiley9102]

I lost the use of most of my right hand. Yes it sucks. But just a little thought and and a little ingenuity and I'm still out there riding my old electra. As far as that guy in this video. He might just be my new hero. Lol. I wish him the best and as for you and Chris I wish you the best as well.

[@markrobison9770]

You need to have rob at sh tube build you a light box and mud flap bars for Orwell

[@fsctrucking]

I may do that in the future

[@DaniArceneaux]

Hi Steve! Welcome aboard Chris!

[@glennhunter7018]

I watch your video all the time I have not commented much but I will now I am happy for you to find a good mechanic it will work out for you, my friend Yes, the truck sounds good be safe on the road

[@jbj27406]

Chris seems like a cool guy and the perfect choice. He knows what he's doing, has tons of experience, has great initiative, and knows exactly what to do to make progress. This is going to work out well for both of you. He is practically able to move into a semi-retirement kind of thing with much less stress than he's had all his life, and frees you up for other stuff as well. And you can still do all the shop work you want to and guide him through your projects like you want. I think this will be a blessing to both of you. By the way, no discredit for being camera shy. Most of us are.

[@robindenker2504]

Sounds like you got a really good mechanic…a feat hard to achieve nowadays! Best of luck!

[@tirepunk7367]

Firestone is 100% owned by Bridgestone and Firestone is the "cheaper" brand Michelin makes 24.5" tires, just not 285/75R24.5 (LO-PRO), 11R24.5 is still made.

[@cigarsgunsandgasoline8032]

Michelin is the best... no matter what you drive! Spend that extra scratch if you're a DRIVER... other tires are OK for "casual" vehicles, but your daily deserves the best!

[@chrishardin4220]

I had a stroke in 2019 do to having high blood pressure. I can't walk right now. I have a limp my right side is affected because of it and I was down on myself but GOD pulled me through it thank goodness

[@Rick-kk4yy]

❤❤can't wait to see chrome wheels on Orwell's drives.

[@f250ford2004]

I've been there, know how he felt, I put forward controls on my 86 FXRS and rode for 10 yrs after my accident! My prosthetic did fall off one time as I put the kickstand down when I got home one day!!

[@THEPAPASMURFTHEOG]

Chris seems like a cool cat... it helps when someone knows what they're doing to help you out Steve.. I believe you made the right decision on hiring him Steve.. I always enjoy watching Orwell roll some hot coal, yes sir!!

[@producerk8247]

Thank you Chris for helping Steve. I mean, for reals!!!! THIS is what you needed. I can't express how much he is going to boost your content and flow with your trucking. One day my friend, you'll have videos on here the same week that you'll hauling, with the free time that you'll have... after all the projects are completed. (as long as you don't acquire more, lol) 🤷 BTW, like the content push. Great choice. Now let's catch up to get closer to your weekly hauls... that's the goal. (that will be great for your channel, more subs, more like, more $$)

[@Paladun100]

you needed a hand in the shop, you were doing nothing but chasing your own dam tail brother

[@simonwhyld3003]

I always swore by Michelin tyres then when I retired from driving and took up bicycle and found that Michelin make bicycle tyres I was over the moon, they were always a tad more expensive but well worth the extra cost,

[@bostedtap8399]

Hi Chris, welcome to the channel, reckon Steve will have more trucks by end of the year 😀 👍. Great video as always Steve. 👌

[@raymondbradley6788]

Awesome video Steve👍👍👍. Yeah, lose your leg in an MC wreck and then get back on one again. That is some determination but he wasn’t gonna lay down and never ride again. When there’s a will, there’s a way. Lived ride ride to live.👍👍👍

[@JohnfromEngland]

You have a GEM in Chris and it sounds like you Two are alike and will get on well I wish you BOTH well and have a Great working relationship for many years

[@user-si9xr4wf4q]

I love the strobe lights awesome!

[@howardbeer5214]

You cannot beat a Fuller G/box I love this and man a man who can drive a real truck !!! and coupled to a Cat 3406 just perfect From here in the UK great stuff man .

[@craigmaart1445]

Chris! Welcome man. It's good to see you involved and able to work in the shop. Nice! Good luck and blessings to you with Steve. Good move Steve.

[@user-um3zb7po9v]

thank you for sharing the guy's story

[@TimothyGrenonGoodman]

Nice to meet you Chris, its nice to know that an experienced guy like you will be taking care of Orwell.

[@happy2win]

Glad to see you have a very qualified employee on your staff. Congrats. Love your videos.

[@jeffcooper5789]

Stay the course. All the great people that you meet in life. That's the best.

[@AndreLuiz-qv5ci]

Hey, dude, what's up? My name is André, I'm from Brazil, from the city of Hortolândia in the state of São Paulo. I really like your trips with your gross loads hahaha this truck of yours is a classic brother, a

[@HyperActive7]

I think the more impressive thing is the guy being able to get back on his bike not even a year after a traumatic accident as a way of say fear is what you make it. Good luck with the future endeavor with Chris as your new help because it seems like he really wants to get things done so you don't have to worry about anything other than making sure he stays employed.

[@petera.laceysr.28]

Congrats on hiring ur new head mechanic Orwell is looking very well have a safe & healthy trip with the good lord as ur copilot

[@joehicks2846]

Sounds like you hired a helluva man, hope it works out

[@machinist44291]

I bet that lifted your spirits hearing that story Steve. It did for me. Face hard times? Don't give up and get back on that metaphorical bike and ride it! Love your work Steve, stay blessed.

[@garycunningham5363]

Another awesome video North Carolina thanks so much. You’re a good guy.

[@Eric-ty1yi]

New a guy who lost his left,foot and his right leg at the knee, still rides ,just it now has 3 wheels instead of 2.💪🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mattguldjord1357]

Welcome Chris! Orwell sounds great! Pulls that 40k+ like a beast!

[@DaleWheeldon]

sounds like chris is a good deal i hope big things for you and the channel steve

[@LLMCxBigShot]

Seen you today on 220 heading towards lock haven pa would of got a pic but was on the phone with the hospital had my son today

[@DaniArceneaux]

Congratulations on your new baby boy!👣

[@JimB1]

Now that you got a new mekanink ( mechanic) fix that driver side door.

[@fsctrucking]

One thing at a time...

[@tommellen8151]

i need a shirt with the bird trying to eat the frog "don't ever give up" where can i down load that cartoon? watch you and all your truck buddies every day, break 19 if i see ya Orwell

[@jamesmusser6160]

With Chris on board, any plans for the Ford Cl 900(?).

[@tabithasalb9903]

Welcome Chris! 🎉

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Welcome Chris to the shop. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good evening y'all howdy welcome Chris. Man that striker looks heavy this is the load you need a couple turns on the pump lol joking brother

[@larrybrown7273]

Outstanding video Steve

[@CS_247]

Ooh that ol' 3406 is just purring . Beautiful!

[@Random_Ritchie]

By the time you see this you've probably already delivered this load. lol Be careful on I-64 Huntington, WV - Milton, WV. Construction zone area. Left lane is wider at the beginning. Its 55mph through there. Barboursville, (police dept) WV radar all the time. This area of construction has been there since the 70s. No one knows when it will get completed. Prepare for delays due to wrecks. Happens everyday seems like. I travel this part everyday for work. But, I take the Barboursville exit 6. So, I don't know exactly where the construction stops. Lots of sharp curves on I-64 in the Huntington, WV portion.

[@AndrewJackson-mf5qp]

Welcome Cris, Good to meet you. Hope you enjoy the job buddy. The big guy will give you plenty to do and will look after you. You are much like myself and I know where you are at and you are the glue to keep shit going and together. Nice one dude. Big guy ,Orwell is indeed sounding extremely smooth and rhythmical while pulling that lump of iron on the deck. Dose it so effortlessly too.

[@Cptstokes]

Firestone changed the rubber make up 2 years ago and belt slipped. Bridgestone, same shit. So I went with Toyo and after 2 years, smooth as silk. 22.5 low

[@Hairie-xz7nq]

Good job steve

[@clarencewiles963]

I typed out the routine routes for bypassing the bridge outage but I guess we can’t do that But you know how to use the maps. Thumbs up 👍.

[@genewalton4962]

Good show

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Take care be safe 🙏 welcome on bored Chris

[@ghosthunter3186]

Steve your truck sounds great after to work you done And good luck to chirs Nice to see old school trucks alive and not left to root Stay safe George Whelan from the UK 🇬🇧

[@70elcamino.]

[@paulmarker5689]

[@williamdodd5113]

Well Chris you come across as a nice guy , competent diesel fitter, and I'm sincere in saying I hope you and your wife find somewhere nice to live up there and converge completely in Steve,s future conquests. Best of luck to you all.

[@ricksmith3125]

Welcome Chris 💥🔥

[@ricksmith3125]

I'm an Alliance Ohio

[@saxworship]

Nice shot of the old shop at 22:00

[@johngaither9263]

You are aware that Firestone is owned by Bridgestone? I'm probably missing something but how can you afford or justify a full-time mechanic?

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

That's cool I bet ur happy and stress free. Since he's going to be working on thing's while your out on the road Jesse.

[@user-um3zb7po9v]

I like all the different camera angles that you use.

[@JonMcNew-sw9jw]

When u going to get aluminum wheels for the rear axles

[@johnsadventures6783]

He has Peterbilt aluminum wheels for the truck. They are getting polished.

[@morriswilliams3142]

I think Steve should put a light bar on Orwell when he's pulling heavy wide loads

[@pagey007]

Hello Chris from NZ , Huge asset to Steve 🙂

[@morriswilliams3142]

Roll that beautiful coal footage 😂😂

[@dagger4146]

[@philipbartruff3361]

Great video as always brother. Im a right leg amputee. Thats awesome that hes riding. I pretty much do everything i did before. But i havibeen on a bike. I wonder if they make something for the brakes that's similar?

[@kenarelleno7714]

[@Samanthareneeheart10]

Speaking of motorcycles passed a bad accident 1 vehicke (motorcycle only) crotch rocket by the looks of it in the media cut in 2 front was maybe 100 yards from the body of the bike. This was in MO NB I55 around the 180 mm. Looked like it hit the cable barer & broke in 2.

[@gregholmes3661]

Firestone and Bridgestone I believe they are the same company

[@user-ej1xy6gk1c]

just curious on how you decided on the name Orwell for your ttucj😊

[@christopherkeating4830]

It’s a 1984 Peterbilt and George Orwell wrote the book “1984”.

[@carldrexler7883]

I used to see this guy at the Deepwater truckstop back in the 60s who drove a B 61 and only had his right leg 🦵 and crutches 🩼 of course that could never happen today but there you go

[@JrFlexing909]

If you enjoy riding your Motorcycle , its hard to keep someone away, same way goes for trucking. You find a way.

[@marknewell7355]

I reckon that the merch trailer should also have some amenities you you guys too toilets shower so like merch shop at the rear toilets and storage then your shower and if space like a living room area be awesome for you that Steve probably have people lining up to use it either way can't wait to see what you and Chris do with it

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Chicken lights can be a pain in the butt noticed the one next to the end on the passenger side half of it was out before you left the garage. At least with the LED's they usually don't all burn out at the same time unlike the old bulb type, when it burned out you lost the whole light.💡💡💡🚛🚛🚛

[@thythethy9590]

Hey Steve! I don’t have a lot to say about it except just, lots of good stuff going on for you, the more you do, the more people dislike, i am not a genius but steve, just ignore the folks who don’t got a clue what they’re saying.

[@francisheckerman2417]

Steve I was on my way home from Vegas and to get something to eat and there was a gut with a special built bike, the guy had no legs

[@larrybrowning]

Hey Steve you need to talk to Bruce about looking for a truck he just pick up a 1978 cab over looks good and run good on his channel.

[@DUDEWithDODGES]

That's how I like em.

[@JanesDough855]

We all need an attitude adjustment in life at times. Be like those clown punching bags - get knocked down, keep getting back up. Kudos to that biker!
