Simple Mistake Puts This Delivery At Risk

[@randyhestor9895]

That is a Telma retarder. It stops the truck like a Jake Brake does. City buses and garbage trucks use them for city driving to keep the brakes from fading and wearing out. I am a diesel mechanic that has worked on both for over 40 years.

[@jefferybobafett3234]

Coming back into St. Louis at night was a beautiful sight there at the river.❤

[@ricashbringer9866]

One of the reasons I like this channel is the scenery you show. You really show the beauty of our country.

[@colinbourne8345]

That brake is a telma... We have them in the uk on buses... They're mega reliable.. On older buses drivers used to leave them on then come in the garage complaining it wouldnt pull and had a burning smell😂😂

[@robertdunning584]

Steve you need to put some led headlights on Owell

[@writeStevie]

A set of Holley Retrobright would be an awesome upgrade

[@blueovaltrucker]

My father drove for several local sawmills way back here in Ky. and I believe they all sold lumber to a huge company in St. Louis. I'd always go with him there every chance I had. He'd always say when we were within sight of the big arch "Well there it is...the gateway to the west". Miss him every day.

[@dougschreier154]

The one with a person in the back is called a tiller truck. You steer to your left to swing wide to make a right turn. Doesn't take long to learn when going forward. As for the pump the big 6 inch on both sides and the front are called intakes, where water comes in from a hydrant or if your drafting. The 2.5 inch with caps on them are discharges to pump additional lines each one has their own valve and gauge for different pressures. The hand lines either come off the back or come off the top above the pump panel are called crosslays which are used to supply 1-3/4" hand lines used for attacking the fire which also have there own valve and gauge. As for pumping a little math and hydraulics skills are a must. Once everything is set up you just watch and make sure nothing happens. Also all engines have a relief valve you can adjust to keep from over pressurizing the different size hose lines. Hope this helps a little bit as Ive been retired after 30 years in the fire service.

[@tucobenedicto109]

A co-worker told me; who is not a fireman, that the guy in the tiller is in there because he is not liked. I can't make that up. All firefighters are good, and it is an importnant job!

[@JimDog794]

That shot rolling in St Louis across the river showing the Arch and skyline was fantastic. Good video. Keep on truckin' 👍.

[@barrysmith9020]

Electro magnetic jake brake,I worked on these almost 50 years ago,you bring in one magnet at a time to slow the vehicle

[@brianbishop3562]

Steve thank you for going through St Louis my wife and my son live down near Joplin he is going to school there to become a welder just love the beautiful scenery through there and then I get a laugh when you get to drive through Uranus and see the signs for the fudge Factory LOL

[@Thetruthalwayshurts]

That rest area during the summer is packed with people in those Picnic areas. I-44 is swamped with travelers during summer time. Not to mention, I-44 has become the India Truckstop highway.

[@mrjo5hua]

EPIC VIDEO! Love the voice over with the 2nd cam and audio outside the situation...SPOT ON!

[@tgland02494]

I used to go through St Louis a lot with car hauler, either went west from there or go north through Iowa to Minneapolis StPaul Mn. Found it quicker to go that way than up 65 to 90-94 through Chicago.

[@Denis-tu1pd]

On the rear end what you saw was a electric brake retarder .it runs on your 12 volt battries. It has 4 power levels . The magnetic forse tries to spin the rotor in the opposite direction to slow the truck down . The power company i worked for had that unit on our bucket trucks .

[@TitanSound]

Loving the night shots

[@markulrich8898]

Steve , as a retired firefighter of 33years i can tell you the unit on the drive shaft is a Telma industrial brake, also known as a electrokinetic retarder. when activated it generates a magnetic field around the drive shaft.......very dangerous on wet roads.

[@josephlawton4525]

I sure miss driving trucks the first one I drove was a 78 Kenworth K-100

[@jessesager9460]

Learning to drive fire apparatus is one of the coolest things about being in the fire service, in my opinion. When you learn the basics on pumps, and start out with something like 500 GPM with a much smaller panel and less discharges and intakes, it makes understanding bigger pumps much easier. “Horse Feathers” knows about it. And maybe he would know someone with an old Tiller truck that could give you that experience you want 👍🏻 As for the Telma brake, the one department I volunteer with bought a 2022 Seagrave with a 95ft Aerialscope, GVW of 82,000lbs. That has the Telma brake, along with the engine retarder. That rig will come to all but a complete stop with them two operating together.

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Road Ranger in Saint Robert by Fort Leonardwood exit 164, it's a Pilot now, I'd push there. Use to sleep behind the Big Texan Steakhouse, when I'd stop in Amarillo, then get to Temecula,CA. Wash out in Southgate and load City of Industry to S Charleston,WV.

[@kkmfc3s]

Eddy current brake, just like a dynomometer .

[@woodstock911snoopy]

Steve for operation of the fire pump. Once you switch the control in the cab from road to pump & put in drive. The fire pump is alive. Two gauges on top are (left gauge) supply water pressure to pump & (right gauge) is discharged pressure to system. Now for the handles on the pump panel. Are color coded. Colors match location and pressure gauge and discharge locations. Normal all handles in valves closed. Tank to pump depends if you are in freezing climate (valve shut) & in warm climate (valve is open). Also turn handle 90 degrees will lock them in place. Besides the water tank. It also has foam system installed pre-piped in. That the Red cover plate above control valves. Another thing below discharge gauge of the pump. Rocker switches to blast air horn, tell if you are in pump mode, to turn on ground lights, working side lights and anything else might have. Under running board will be a main pump drain valve (drain pump of water for freezing weather). Little wheel with peg sticking out is pressure relief valve. (Once you have all hoses running for fire fighting, you can set your relief valve so if someone shuts down a stream the water hammer will be relief to suction side of the pump not to your other lines. That why I enjoyed being an Engineer! 27 yrs. Sorry it so long.

[@michaelholden9580]

Thats crazy I would have thought they would have unloaded you a city maint. yard hope you had a little time with your family for the holidays Be Safe

[@jrneff9773]

yes the arch light been up there never saw the lights on it

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

The popper street bridge! Know it well especially after starting with Enterprise Car Sales. I'll get to go over to Glen Carbor IL from time to time.

[@thomaspetroff9117]

Yup STL You came within a half mile of me at Collinsville IL I can see 55/70/255 from my place. That was one of my brothers wreckers passed you on 44 Ole Pete sounding and performing at the top of her Game as Always! TGP

[@nmpride5054]

Orwell looking and sounding good Boss life 💪💪.let's go

[@alpharomeo15]

Hate to correct you Steve, but if it's pushing barges that vessel is called a "tow boat", "tugboats" only move ships or unpowered vessels such as fueling floats!

[@donwheeler1683]

Used to live/work in Tulsa and was a fire buff for many years! Always glad to see nice firetrucks arriving in Tulsa!

[@isawthelight]

I remember going to the St Louis arch with my dad trucking in the early 90s when I was a kid. Great memories. Old Freightshaker FLD!

[@mikerooney7928]

Interesting View! Hell of a movie, from the ‘80’s!!! 😅

[@jamesrudasill3116]

See the world throught the eyes of a truck driver GOD BLESS

[@sirpwnlot2590]

LOL pulled over next to the hood store! go over there and buy you some dvd's from the guy sitting outside

[@StevenWeinberg-t7x]

Have you ever been up to the top of the arch? It's a great view

[@georgewilson9036]

That was N Cincinnati and 46 St n that little restaurant is a good place to get an old fashioned burger

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Really enjoy the scenery day or night thanks for sharing stay safe Steve.

[@qg4nn]

I heard you say something about Conrad Fire. I wasn't aware they had a shop in Tulsa. I have dealt with the main office in Olathe, Kansas for many years (SW side of Kansas City area). Good job backing into that parking area. :)

[@thasl6060]

T Hasl from Norway 🇧🇻 again. I must admit to you Steve. I dont know much about trucking, but i love your videos . To see Orwell and honest working people make me happy. My first job at 14 years old was to pick strawberry at a farm. . At 15 years i deliver newspaper . I guess you to have to work to Steve. We could not cry at home for money. We had to work for a singel penny.

[@clarencewiles963]

Stlouis I watched the Gateway Arch go up. I lived in East StLouis. And after work hours is a great time to go through at 3:05 great video view. Thumbs up 👍

[@jacobcornelius1278]

You can pickup old fire trucks pretty cheap. Like a couple thousand cheap. Then you can drive it anytime you want.

[@briangragg2234]

Steve I was a firefighter this what its used for magnetic pickup" sensor used to accurately measure the rotational speed of the driveshaft, which is then used by the truck's computer to monitor engine performance and control various systems like the pump and water flow, providing crucial data for optimal operation during firefighting situations.

[@ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣΠΕΦΑΝΗΣ]

it is a telma electric brake retarder in europe we use them from 1987

[@dennisbelles9236]

Steve, those hook n ladder trucks you want to drive are called "tillers", and yes, they would be very fun to drive. And I agree, at. Louis is always fun to drive thru day or night. I miss those sights since being off the road.

[@DerrickJulien]

You need a pop or bobble head you can sell and orwell toy truck

[@tgland02494]

There is an east bound scale on 44 in Missouri that’s nutritious for inspections from hell. My trucks were always new every year so I never got dinged but a lot of trucks were doing repairs in the lot

[@kerwinmay887]

Great Textbook Backing Steve

[@JustinMcClanahan-w7q]

My dad used to have a 71 Ford pickup,it was blue also but supposed to be a column shift but the original owner put in a shifter kit on the floor & he put the arms in the wrong position so my dad took the truck back to him & had him to put the shifter arms in the correct positions

[@Bywater-S]

Steve your talking about piece of apparatus called a Tiller. That’s what you’re referring to as a hook n ladder. Fun to ride in them, never wanted to be an engineer on one. I’ll take the truck aka engine any day of the week!

[@jrneff9773]

makes since water weight back and forward. like bull racks hauling swinging beef. 3rd safety brake if a truck lost air etc

[@MeMe-pj2zl-DDP]

I'm not sure how it works but it is a couple of different things it is a brake and a rear end high low gearing system if memory serves me correctly I don't remember how any of it works but back in the day when I was volunteering for the fire department they were just coming out with the system the system has been around in verse combinations of sorts of course all experimental to make improvements to safety and different applications for getting in and out of situations that system is one of the newest systems that I have seen ty for showing it to us ty for letting me share Matt AKA DDP be safe out there My friend and brother and crew and Miz. Jen yuuuuup

[@carldrexler7883]

That old gas station where you stopped at looks like mabe a tornado might have gone through there some time ago and the properties were never rebuilt

Wow nice nine shirts very nice shirts

[@danreimer7213]

Always enjoy your videos steve

[@briannowlan8981]

Going trucking with my dad was best childhood you can Going to the stock yards in E.St.Louis and end dumps with him for 30yrs and then bought him out after being in business for 54yrs

[@Paladun100]

growing up we would stop at rest stops and have lunch and then move on

[@kjevans68]

Our rest stops in Missouri are from the 1950's, it's crazy

[@JeffMartin-r3b]

Hey stave how are you doing today my on this beautiful day and I like watching your KZbin videos and they are very educated and I like the way you explain things to your viewers in the videos and I like the content

[@sunnyray2048]

🍭SWEET🍭Beautiful shot of right backside of Orwell’s cab & stacks with the Arc. Stunning! Great opening! Stay safe🙏🏼💖👍🏻🇺🇸🌞

[@paulwiley9102]

Well Steve, to err is human. To really screw it up takes an accident. Keep your head on a swivel and keep up the good work.

[@DavidCinelli7815]

A guy I used to be friends with worked on school buses, they had a brake by the transmissiom called a "band brake".

[@KirkDeWitt]

Great video of St.Luis, awesome shot of the arch!! Beautiful scenery. Thanks again for the videos and educational content!! Stay safe out there!!

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

Love me some night driving❕️👍🏻😊 Thanks Steve ✌️

[@jrneff9773]

i left tn went to mi on the way back rest areas where full we pull into a dot weight station in ky i woke up to watch my driver is falling asleep i said pull into the dot station we parked we was in a one ton truck with a trailer with 8k on trailer we parked driver went to sleep i got out then tn troopers asked why we here i told him the driver was falling asleep the rest area back was full he said that was a good call pull over dont die he said get your rest and have a good day

[@murrayjones2193]

That thing on the drive shaft is a electric retarder same job as a Jake brake but not as efficient

[@ceciljdixon1488]

Steve,u got Orwell looking and running good 40y ol beast love yo content keep me rolling 💯

[@tgland02494]

Not very many hook and ladders anymore, most are single unit 100’+ ladder or bucket trucks.

[@georgewilson9036]

That’s engine 15 I think it’s assigned to mid town

Great view. I ride a desk all day. Appreciate your videos steve!!

[@tabithasalb9903]

Awesome night video 😊

[@lawrencejneuser8801]

I think if you look around, i think you can find auxiliary heater units that can tie into the heater hose coming off of the engine that would upgrade your comfort in your truck. I know some of the trucks used to have them mounted underneath the passenger seat. A salvage yard might be a good a good place to start, one with class 8 trucks.

[@maureenrichards9478]

When our family travels we pack a cooler with food and stop at rest areas or small town parks to eat. Less expensive and better food than truck stop or restaurant. So not a “picnic “ but close.

[@elijames3041]

Grate video Steve

[@thomasgautney5586]

Steve, you need to install some bad-ass LED headlights on Orwell. Those bright blue ones! Man I have them installed on my truck both headlights and driving lights, they work great. The driving lights I can change them from blue to amber for foggy roads. Love em! Gotta watch parking under street lights! Especially if its raining.... ⛈️ Hey, I meant to ask, how's Orwells front end since you and Chris rebuilt it? Like a Cadillac?

[@gerryjones9915]

That is a Telma ,an auxiliary braking system

[@steamindemon3389]

lol ,, I guess difference in rooster cruising. when I was running west coast company truck was governed at 68 mph. company policy was max 60mph when figuring milage on logbook.. so Amarillo to Los Angeles was a 2 day trip.. even if you could drive in 1 day, company policy wouldn’t let you log it.. 600 miles on logbook max per day

[@raymondward1009]

You can get rid of or just slightly attenuate (add or cut) the more annoying frequencies with Graphic EQ on your final edit, GoPro's are not stellar when it comes to sound quality really. You'll need at least 10 or more frequency bands to do it right, I use a 10 band on Final Cut Pro plus my Mac Book Pro has other audio tools that I can integrate with Final Cut for maximum flexibility. I've always found a Mac to be superior to a PC with both audio and video when it comes to deep(er) production work. The only issue I run into now a days is the many format changes that the OS, IOS and software systems go thru. I long for the old days of Firewire Plug and Play!
