Massive Egyptian Fire Truck Delivery In North Carolina

[@lloydedwards8038]

I give you credit guy, you use your head while dealing with things on top of the load. I'm not being smart ass but when I did the work you are doing(for about 40-45 years all over Continental North America), I was slower than other haulers because I took my time to make sure everything was safe and secure!

[@djtjpain]

Safety first always

[@tony78uk48]

Same here mate in the UK

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Another Stryker delivered minus one flag on the trailer. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.

[@donaldfoltz4649]

That place is huge! This is what I call an interesting video, and you are an expert driver. Thanks for sharing.

[@JonLawVids]

You fell off my recommended, so I haven’t seen you in an age. Search you out again and appreciate your varied camera views all over again. Excellent stuff!

[@blakemason-hh7rd]

Steve use fluid flim for chains and binders that’s what I use. It works great it’s thicker than penetrating oil. You can get it in spray cans. So there’s no need to use diesel fuel and spray bottles

[@carldrexler7883]

Diesel works great and it’s cheap 😉

[@blakemason-hh7rd]

Fluid flims just as cheap? And you’re not stinking of diesel fuel having to wear bitch mittens every time because it’s soaked in fuel. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but diesel fuels complete waste of time

[@mikebonnett7730]

@@blakemason-hh7rdthere is a newer penetrating oil that is made in the Dakotas somewhere out of corn and li penetrating oil if you have a rusty bolt or anything with threads on it you can spray it onto the bottom by the nut and it will actually wick itself upwards to the top a loosen it up quickly but I can’t remember the name of it offhand

[@carldrexler7883]

@@blakemason-hh7rd I used fuel for years and my ratchets whether chain or strap worked free and easy for a long time before I had to respray even during the snow season

[@RB-cz5jn]

I use wd40 with silicone. Mine are in the open. Works really great

[@wbball15]

Great stuff, Steve. Enjoyed the adventure in the Port of Wilmington.

[@dougmurphy5523]

Steve, awesome channel and content. Orwell and 1984 book, agree 110% with you. Chain tensioner lube; you might try Boeshield T66. As a machinist, we use it frequently. Waterproof, lubricant, and slightly waxy. Will not flash off. It's more expensive than WD40, but lasts. You might consider trying it. If more people had your work ethic and attention to detail, our country would be much better off. Keep on trucking and all the best to your family and friends. I have always loved cab overs since I was a kid in the 1970, so god bless Orwell he is an icon of better times. Cheers, mate!

[@jasonbabila6006]

When I'm not using my ratchet chain binders I like to thread the ends all the way in so it doesn't dry up and get rusty, I use LPS 2 heavy duty lubricant in the aerosol can to lube the threads and ratchet pawl.

[@juliogonzo2718]

I used to run roll back 40t wrecker and landoll and I always left mine wound out and oiled so i could chain down faster. The less time on the side of the road the less chance a four wheeler or semi driver on a work visa could smoke me. Didn't like it when others used the binders or helped me unload cause they always only wound them out till they could unhook the chains. I'd go to use them and run out of binder and the chains were still loose and I'd have to take them off again and grab another link.

[@WindsweptWheelers]

The best thing you’re ever gonna find for your binders is CRC Engine Stor Marine Fogging Oil. I only have to spray my binders like twice a year and I leave them in the well of my trailer exposed to the elements.

[@donwheeler1683]

You had me at "Fire Truck"! Not familiar with this particular model ARFF truck, so thanks for showing it! Also appreciate seeing how you load/unload and hook up your trailer!

[@garymaynard7562]

Another job well done, Steve and Orwell!

[@bryandraughn9830]

Really cool stuff man. I've noticed that lumber is cheaper in North Carolina the further east you're willing to travel. Now my assumptions have been confirmed. Cheers! Really enjoyed the video! Thank you for keeping America moving!

[@RMTTR640]

A little bit of copper antisieze and some good old 80/90w gearlube for your ratchet binders is my suggestion. It has been working good for me ... Really like the shop videos and the commentary

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

That fire truck is a beast.

[@306champion]

My first time on this channel. So the U.S. is importing Egyptian fire tankers! I thought they would build their own. Great video mate, thanks.

[@idasedin4626]

No, the fire truck is made in the U.S. by Oshkosh for export to Egypt.

[@306champion]

@@idasedin4626 That sounds more like it. trust me to get it backwards, lol.

[@70elcamino.]

Thanks for another great video I don't know anything about ports really seems there's a lot more trucking jobs available to pick that stuff than there using

[@wushock92]

I've watched you for some time so I know the drill. But occasionally explaining the routine you go through to break down the RGN is valuable for newcomers. Nicely done, Professor. Some might find value, too, if you would film and explain a pretrip. You know, to show the uninitiated we drivers are concerned about safety. Just a thought. Peace, brother! WØRHP

[@twitafftwitaff7029]

Looks like few, Stryker AFV's waiting under wrapping to be shipped out, next to were you unloaded

[@ph11p3540]

I was expecting such a fire truck to be shaped like a giant gold plated sarcophagus with giant mamba snakes for water monitors and scorpion tail shaped Striker boom. Gotta stick with that ancient Egyption theme for a fire truck lol

[@Big-Rig-Energy]

Just when I was looking for something to watch another fsc video drops right on time. As soon as you said collective I was waiting for a Borg reel.

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video of you hauling that Egyptian Fire Truck to its destination. You're definitely a safety freak like i was when working for UPS where I retired from after 28years. Glad i found you again on here bcuz i certainly enjoy your train videos. Heard you mentioning Wilmington Delaware and i live 2hrs South to there. Thanks again Steve for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware.

[@shadewoodrome333]

@FSC TRUCKING* hey Steve… when are you going to put a Peterbilt … Tilt - Telescope steering column in that Bad boy?? I put one in my kw Cabover last year… made a World of Difference man!! My arms and shoulders were thanking me!! On top of that… a Smaller steering wheel makes it easier to turn as well!! Those big 20 inch wheels are pain in the Neck when you need a Full Turn

[@clarencewiles963]

I would wear my Blue Parrot. All day. I had one of each one but found that the better one was the B450-XT Noise Canceling I would need to recharge about every 4 days. Over night when I was sleeping. The ear cup is the largest one they have and was ok with me.

[@kennethmatthew3453]

7:30 with my 2 years truckn I've never thought of that simple trick when out of washer fluid. Also I love the truck's cockpit and wish I could drive a manual like that. Grandfather was also a trucker who drove manual and I wanted to drive manual also but every company who offered manual "pre-hire" lied to me just to get me in the door even though they promised they had a manual available but "after hire" they didn't have a manual available anymore. Only time I got to drive manual is when my trainer's truck was a manual when I was new. I love truckn but just really wish it wasn't so hard to actually find a company who really offered manual trucks instead of lying about it just to get me behind the wheel of some automatic.

[@JimDog794]

I guess windshield washer tubing is next on the to do list.

[@fsctrucking]

Next time Orwell is down for a time, Chris will be fixing that and a few other things on Orwell.

[@Bodacious-o9r]

I ran across your video with your truck n got excited when I saw it I had one just like it, she was longer and loved it i put a lot of miles on her but unfortunately i made a good living and made a big mistake by trading it in for a conventional long hood Pete and i really hated by doing that , my compliments sir I subscribed to your channel, good luck on your loads and be safe, thanks for sharing

[@ScottArmas107]

I use that Lucas Chain lube on my cumalongs I use to tie down hay. Doesn’t collect much crap and stays on the cable quite awhile in my experience.

[@lloydedwards8038]

I like the way you explain things to drivers and others. I used to try and say something to them but most of them was oh well it's not my equipment. Don't know about you, but me I was just glad I didn't own a company and have them working for me. They just couldn't get it through their heads how come the boss doesn't give me a raise. DDUUHH!

[@billvandorn5332]

It should be common courtesy and respect what were the people are just too lazy or don't care I don't know. Sometimes I would borrow equipment or trucks and prior to returning I made sure the fuel was replenished and the equipment was washed inside and out.

Steve you have a right brake light out on Orwell...

[@evorider4133]

Don’t know how well it’ll stay on but try this. We use it on the car door hinges and hood and lock assembly’s. WD-40 specialist white lithium grease. I’m not a truck driver but don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

[@jeffreycoon9634]

It works great. I use a different brand but it’s still dry lithium. I work on the beach and the lithium doesn’t collect sand like the other stuff

[@tucobenedicto109]

It doesn't attract dust.

[@bluecollardadventures2338]

I have used dry lithium on snow plow attachments and salt spreaders for years. If anything rusts they do! It really is good stuff. But a bit messy for some places

[@SynicalBeats]

No! That shit gets dry and tacky and makes everything stick. Horrible stuff.

I've seen grain from farmer to rail directly. On you tube. They may have some that as the water level for the barges can only take a half load on the Mississippi. It it was needed. I don't know why they would load a truck from a railcar, unless it's fertilizer?

24:50/44:25 that Egyptian fire truck must be super heavy weight. your back tire looks worn from the retread.?

[@Gods33Acres]

After 29 years in the trucking industry I can say the worst place to be as a ground guide is behind the vehicle that is backing up. You need to be in front of the vehicle so the driver sees you - not in his blind spot. Orwell proves that older trucks still move the freight as good as newer ones do but without large truck payments.

Keep using the oil you happy with. Using a heavier will stay longer but collect dust and sand etc eventually causing you to have to wash with something and causing worse frustration. BTW, thanks for explaining the dog bone connection. . Is there any shifting once hooked up? Like sideways ?
