Tyler did a very thorough inspection. Great job.

[@Sam-hf8nq]

Obviously you take a lot of pride in your work. The company is lucky to have such a conscientious employee enthusiastically helping to keep your drivers safe. Well done!

[@mrcloudd1056]

The shop at the company I work for could learn a lot from this video. Their method is currently as follows: "Is it on fire? No? Keep driving it... Why are you still here?"

Tyler did a great job explaining the PM process. It was very interesting. Great video!

[@sphamandlamazibuko3074]

Excellent professionalism. Keep it up!!!

[@angelosmith8755]

Congratulations Tyler, good job!!!

[@24allix]

Only thing I'd add is that you should always make sure you have the filters you need PRIOR to starting the PM. Seems like ya'll have a well run parts room but theres nothing worse than stabbing the filter then finding out you're out of LF14000s and it's 1:45 am going into the weekend XD Nice video!

[@trianglesky380]

Dude you rock!! I knew I was gonna learn lots off stuff from this video

[@iambasham5097]

Very similar but very useful, especially for someone transferring from passenger to semi pm work. Thanks and great job.

Every driver should know how to do this. As far as leaks you should be looking for evidence of a leak not the leak itself as you won't see it unless the truck is working hard under a load. It takes a much brighter light abd closer inspection of pin holes. No fluids should need replacing unless there is an issue. A lot of techs that have never been through a 2-4 year mechanic program are not knowledgeable in things like cavitation. A thorough inspection takes atleast 30-45 min. Look for loose, bent, broken or missing. Every item needs to be checked and every year or two depending on conditions need proper torque. Be careful and take your time. Don't beat up or stop a part by being abrupt. Use penetration oil to loosen and one or two taps not 5-10 wack! Other than a few things not bad. Always use a rag to keep the filter or parts clean and easy to turn. Hand tight is sufficient but a wrench for long life severe service might be OK if you don't have any hand strength. Keep going to school and learn from old time drivers.

[@HassanHassan-sf5xd]

Thanks alot for the vedio

[@ukbdman]

excellent video

[@cranmer1959]

This also the same kind of inspection that applicants for a new CDL must be able to do. Experienced drivers should do an inspection like this one at least once a week and a good walk around inspection every single day.

[@raymondromero4558]

Shoot im impressed

[@biggsteppacustomapperalord9213]

awesome

[@kingsleyorji5446]

Kindly help with these questions. 1. How long does preventive maintenance take. i.e , what's the duration for the service example; 45mins, 1hr, 3hrs, 4hrs? etc.. 2). How much do you charge for labour? Example: charge for the entire duration or per hour? 3). What's the capacity of your workshop? How many trucks do you service in a day between 8am - 5pm daily?

[@magdalenoybarra2793]

Thats cool amigos !

[@robertthomason8905]

Good job. Hope you didn't blame Ben for the oil that was dripping off the refill gun. 😊

Does Tyler have his own channel?! I’d love to watch his content this was a great video.

What is the complete preventive maintenance checks?

[@ernie305g9]

Aye man I can gladly say that my company is switching over to straight Volvos , those Kenworth/ Pete’s have been having WAYY too much electrical issues (cable related) I’m sure you’ve experienced a lot of headaches in the tail end of those things ( I’m guessing it’s the poor quality of the wire harnesses)

Hello You are in canada?

what oil?

More Cowbell

[@manuellopez4520]

Rotella?

[@ccruz9591]

You said oil change every 25,000 miles?

[@Hoodie-xj2iv]

25,000 miles isn’t a lot for a semi since they’re pretty much constantly driving.

[@degz1s]

DURRRRR

[@robpeters5204]

Don’t forget to look at the inner facing side of the tires for gashes or cuts that might occur. Also greasing is very important. Ben looks so bored that he is curling his hair. Show more interest man! Lol!

[@johnnymiles8694]

Trucker Jim looks different

[@mikelaker6289]

25000 miles using 10W30....that needs to be about 15000 miles & the oil needs to be 15W40 (truck oil)

[@DFPancake]
