[@pioneerfarm4369]

You sure got a nice bull rack there and a nice corn husker spred axel there do you have dump valves on both axels I had them on my reefer trailer 51' great Dane 11' spread dump the back axel and turn on a dime and give me back nickel LOL loaded out of Wenatchee with cherries and apple's when the market payed right but northern California Oregon Washington Idaho and Montana are the most beautiful state's in the country i just might move out there one day LOL I might have to hit you up for a driving job LOL

[@realwildwildwest]

Yessir dumps on both 👌🏼 . Back one lifts when I’m empty. I’m always scared to dump it loaded… I popped an air bag on my flatbed once and it always made me gun shy lol!

[@pioneerfarm4369]

LOL it happens very rarely I have 38,000 lbs just on the back and did 360's thousands of times now you have to watch the tires a little bit because you can deflate them I have had the tires lade over where half the sidewall was on the road just went very slow about every three years change all the bushings LOL nothing ride's better than a spread axle and I'll have to say you have got the best looking spread axle cornhusker hopper bottom I have seen in years just saying.

JAX!! Was introduced to you through my subscribing to Heavy D Sparks, and him through Ghost town living from day 1. Subscribed to your channel after that episode of the cooberation of the cement foundation of the American hotel there....took a liking to your personality, your genuine and happy, that translates into what I believe is a both grateful and thankful man....BTW wish I knew you were delivering to Woodlad; WA...live right across the Columbia River on the Oregon side in DeerIsland, would have been a pleasure to shake your hand and deliver a home cooked meal from my wife for the road.God bless, he's where our biggest blessing comes from John; 3:16....Remember the choose part my friend.

Ill be darned! Really happy to have you on board. Appreciate the kind words. Love to make new friends :)

[@TheIIOM]

Enjoyed your travels but the best part was seeing you happily reunited with your family!

[@boomerang379]

I pulled a hopper for years. Titan out of Levelland Texas and then Skyview out of Gothenburg Nebraska. Loved it as long as I was out west. Hated it when I was on the east coast. Got out of hoppers and went to Frac sand for a few years. Got a divorce and let my CDL go. Went to get my CDL back earlier this year only to find out they expect me to go to school to do something I’ve got 25 years experience doing. I still drive a truck during harvest in my home state where a CDL isn’t required. I miss the road a lot, especially the mountain states.

[@lopin890]

Hey Jax...I found ONE TON last years 1st cut grass hay /110# 3 tie bales.. (75 mile round trip from home & $400/ton .. Gulp😵‍💫😵‍💫) Elderly farmer couldn't help load it, but I got 'er done!!! Took me a bit longer than it did when I was younger, but it's done... Now looking for more to get me to this year's first cut which is probably July ... Aaaarrrggghh... Safe travels, friend❣️ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel.... ❤️❤️WWG1WGA❤️❤️NCSWIC❤️❤️

[@westcoastislander6699]

Yes! More trucking trips! We do a fair amount of recreational long distance driving. Of course one sees the truckers on the road hauling... Often have wondered where, what, how... Now I know more!

Thank You for the ride Jax. I may be in So Cal by the mouse's house but I grew up in Billings, born in Olympia and spent a couple years on the ranch outside of Spokane. Years and years ago. I so enjoyed the trip across the most beautiful country there is. I hope you'll take us along again, I had tears but they were happy tears. Daddy and Hubby's ashes are up in Sandpoint ID (Dad) and on the ranch south of Sprague in Washington (Hubby). Appreciate you, and love the family. Blessings! 💟💟💟

I rubbed a hole in a fuel line last fall with a load of calves on and got limped into the Coffee Cup. Grayson seen me and came over to chat. Then realizing I was in a bind he went into the store and spent his own money on some supplies he felt might help me! That young man has a heart of gold and is always worklng hard! Of course everytime we chat he just wants to talk about Jaxon! 🤣

[@johndean2925]

Is that a Benjamin Franklin on the ground :>)...OMG...I don't think it is mine. You all must have dropped it!!!

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Sometimes that works but sometimes it doesn't either. Seems like shredded paper wouldn't weight all that much, now if it were compressed into bales ya. I used to haul rolls and paper and it was really heavy. I used to stay out three to four months at a time. Once I stayed out 6 months when my wife was on the truck with me. You think it is tight, you need to do some trucking over in Main and on the east coast when cities were made for horse and buggies to get around in and try it with a long wheelbase tractor and 45' spread axle trailer; now you know why we have dump valves on our axles so we can help get around in tight places. East coast is real tight. With lots of low bridges too. Yep I ran hwy 12 before into Nanches and into Yakima at hwy 82. The wife is a cutie for sure.

Yep truckin & operating heavy equipment takes it's tole. As a young buck driving a well worn 20 year old rig some 50 years ago was a life i would'nt want to repeat, No creature comforts in rigs built back then & pay was squat. Driving the unimproved/improved but paved roads in Nevada back in the day was more than a workout, i gave that up the road ranger to operating dozers, loaders & hoes remote areas of the desert , my old body is still paying the price every day for every mile i drove and every bucket i dumped.. Still own & drive my 1941 GM SWB conventional, which these days would be considered just a average 2.5 ton truck. Take it easy Jax, old DesertRat from Keeler @ the bottom of Cerro Gordo grade.

Thank you for that road trip! You're a good man Jax! So glad Heavy D introduced you, you're not kidding on the wild wild west of trucking, would love to see more road trips like that! The drone footage was amazing! I have one technical question what's causing the cupping of the inside tires at the beginning of the video when you were doing your walk around on your truck for the day?

[@realwildwildwest]

Glad you’re here my friend. Good question. Semi tire west has become a crapshoot… it’s most likely the fact that those are tier 2 falken tires. Made in the usa, but not the best quality. I had all my suspension recently rebuilt and aligned on this truck, so i don’t believe it’s a mechanical cause this time. At this point I keep an eye on them and hope they’ll even back out. 50/50 chance. I just put new Michelin tires on the front axle. They were 825 dollars each ☹️

[@Craftmaster37]

@@realwildwildwest wow, I'll never complain of my GMC HD $250 tire Michelin. I've been in an aircraft mechanic for the Air Force for 39 years so I can relate to everything you do just like we do with aircraft. Got to have that morning walk around just like a pilot
