In Fact, I pay close attention with genuine regard and interest in whatever limitted sponsorships you share in a manner that far exceeds the attention I give to that of Any other content producer on KZbin, because you Never compromise your Integrity, are Always Honest, and you certainly make sharing entertaining in every sense of the best possible ways, which includes clear, easy to understand, pleasantly presented, and complete information about the sponsor's product at hand.

Always a lesson with Casey. One of the hardest things that Ive tried to teach other drivers is that it doesn't matter how many miles you drive. Its what you make per mile, not what you make after all your weekly or monthly miles. With a profession that is built on running numbers everyday, so many drivers cant or wont take the time to look at their profitability, or lack there of. You try and talk with them about it and get the standard ,"What does it matter, I have money in the bank every month?" *sigh* Thanks for the recomend for the trucker calculator, Casey! And also for the story about the O/O, AND for showing how you chain that axle up. I was wondering about that from the last few vids that you talked about it.
@southstreetbarbecue787510 ай бұрын
I always tried to get drivers to understand that the company that promises big miles isn't paying big money. I never got brave enough to venture into the O/O business, and I wouldn't want to tackle that job for all the money in the world. I like just telling someone my truck needs to be fixed, or using someone else's credit card to get fuel, and not spending my time off working on the truck. It's all a tradeoff I guess, and now I've wandered far away from the original point. As usual.

Your "old" belt was never getting properly tensioned, that's why it would squeal. If it's not glazed from slipping, it's probably fine now that you took out the installation tool and the tensioner can move its full swing. Were I you, I'd carry it as a spare.

I started doing YT videos over a decade ago. I quickly noticed that I’d spend 3 days editing a days worth of video from three cameras into a 15 minute video. I couldn’t understand how others were putting out 30 minute videos every week. I eventually walked away from it and focused on working rather than producing. I understand that editing has gotten faster today, but I still recognize how much it takes to do and always wondered if it would make sense to try and get YT profitable. Then I see people like MORR who went from a phone to an entire production studio and realize that I don’t want to get that far into it. It was nice to hear that you can now see how much time YT takes out of your work day. I wonder what that will change for you, but I do enjoy your content and information.

Also we use the little chain to keep our wire rope in a certain spot on a chain during recovery. Just an idea for you. Love the videos and the new wrecker very versatile unit.
