Struck by lightning in the Mack!! Super scary

[@Twister-10228]

Hey nice video Tim, the Johnny Cash truck needs a name "One Piece at a Time" Like from his song. 👍 Have a good one and keep the rubber on the road and take care.

[@doitee52]

We need tons more Dad's like Tim. Love seeing these two guys work together.

[@Vlad-nw8rx]

It is good seeing dads spend time with their boys having fun while teaching. Derek from Vice Grip Garage just did a series where he and his boy took a trip on route 66. They took the trip in an old Chevy C30 he bought and along the way they changed the upholstery, did engine work, and other things I can't remember at the moment. All this while checking out cool route 66 stops. This reminds me of when I was a child with my dad. We would go on train trips though because we both love trains. We went on trans Siberian, the Hiram Bingham to Maccu Picchu orient express, LA to NY, the Pacific coast rail through Canada and most recently we took many trains through India and Nepal. Great times I will never forget and still planning trips with me at 30 years it age and he was 60

[@alexkitner5356]

Tim, I don't expect to change your mind and you're a big boy and can do what you want but in over two decades of being a firefighter and extrication technician I can't say I've seen an incident where a seat belt made things worse on the road. From incidents on country roads to interstates and vehicles of all sizes, the only place it actually might have been better was off road on a steep stone pile in a quarry with the bed up. They may not have been enough to prevent all tragedy but I've never seen a seat belt that made things worse and I have seen countless times where it could have saved people. Seatbelt cutters are cheap and usually have a window punch as well which can be far more crucial to escaping a wreck than getting out of the seat belt. I know everyone has heard of some person who supposedly was saved by not wearing one, its a legend that goes back to the day after the first seat belt was installed, but you'd get better odds on half blind pack mule winning the Kentucky Derby. You can and will do as you like, its your prerogative and I wouldn't suggest otherwise but my humble and honest advice is that its truly the best in the end.

[@davidanderson2393]

You guy's definitely have a lot on your plate, I was just thinking the other day about where Johnny Cash landed. Good thing you have your little working partner to help out and ride around with you, he definitely has trucks in his blood.

I'm third generation driver my family from Greenville, North Carolina and aurora. From back then we drove macks. They were known as smooths and hard to kill. We used to get custom box garbage trucks out of Tennessee. Along east coast mack was king for torque and control. The mack museum is in Connecticut

[@shawnmccluskey4820]

You need to rename the Mack, "White Lightning"!

[@lamenniti7350]

Burn healing. Get organic aloe vera gel. It's got to have the palp in it. Or if you have plant just cut open the leaf and tape it on you burn. I had a3rd degree burn off of an exhaust pipe that blistered. Did that treatment every day. Now, no scar and I can't even see were it burned.

[@rpmfreak9150]

Tim come on man " you're telling your 9 year old son about your highschool sweetheart, and preaching to him about how you don't fallow safety rules of the highway! I've been working tractor and trailer wreaks, and everything else with wheels on it since I was Braxton's age. My family opened up one of the first towing Companies in Chattanooga Tennessee, and I promise you that seat belts save lives. The thing about working with your 9 year old son, is remembering that you are working with your 9 year old son, and not one of your regular employees who are old enough to understand what you are talking about. This was one of the main reasons why, I didn't take my son to work on one of my jobs with me until he was 17 years old.

[@trey5470]

Yea that shit is ignorant. The kid is like 8 years old, my dad wouldn't let me get on a roof with him until I was old enough to understand how to properly tie myself off and use the safety equipment the way it's intended to be used, along with proper knowledge of power tools and the chemicals I was working with. I couldn't imagine letting my kid that's still in elementary school drive around in a truck and preach absolute bullshit about seat belts killing people. All of us that grew up in the country heard that same tired ass lie and we all have friends that we've lost because they believed it and got thrown from the vehicle. I try not to judge other peoples parenting because I'm not the perfect dad myself, but when he's not only telling this stuff to his kid, but all the kids that watch his channel because they think trucks are cool, it's only right to chime in with common sense.

AMEN!!!! Tim I'm with You 💯% on the seatbelts!!!. I was in a Car accident in 2005 and broke my Neck and now in a wheelchair due to wearing a seatbelt...

[@dalelc43]

How does this mean without a seatbelt would be have been better off? No arguing if that was the reason, without the seatbelt something else had to stop you and could of killed you. If given the choice, do you want broken neck or dead?

Hi Tim I have problems with my lower back and have been watching youtube on my TV I still give a thumbs up just can't comment on you videos I do love seeing them all. A friend of mine was in a tanker truck stalled on a train track just east of Houston back in the early 1980's that was hit by a train. The crossing was just after a curve in the track and did not see the train coming till the last minute he was not wearing his seat belt and was able to get out and just get clear of the truck he said if he had the seat belt on would may not have been able to get away soon enough and would have died right there

[@RHomer-ov5pz]

Everybody seems to forget that the first 70 years of transportation hardly anybody wore seat belts and that's if they had any to put on. Our government loves to tell us, how many lives seat belts have saved. But I believe it's more about in the last 3 decades every other moving vehicle you drive by isn't drunk.

You should do a truck tour, not necessarily your drivers trucks, but I see a lot of neat old trucks in the background and stuff I’d like to learn more about, I personally wanna see what kinda parts trucks and stuff you have. You got a lot of cool trucks. Your channel has taught me a lot about big trucks over the past year or so, it’s been my passion since I was probably 3 years old, had a couple old cabovers toy trucks and stuff and I swear they were bout the only thing I played with. Because of what you’ve taught me I’m now taking steps and in a couple weeks I’ll be driving locally running a 40ft end dump hauling gravel. Love the content Tim. You seem like a great guy and I wish I could meet you one day. God bless

[@mrwilson7617]

Chances of being killed or seriously injured because you were belted in is phenomenally smaller than the other way around. You get ejected out your rig and it rolls on top of you you are done. Not sure about big rig cabs but being belted inside a car is way safer than bouncing around in it or thrown out onto the road. If you are going to roll the dice go with the odds. Belt up.

Seat belts save way more lives than they take ,Tim! Your argument has been debunked a long, long time ago. Besides you need to set a good example for your son. In most States it is the law anyway, especially for minors. The fine in my State, for failure to wear a seat belt is over $300. If you get caught texting or talking on your cell phone in my State, you can be arrested. They are not messing around here. Great video!

[@user-ln7of9gs4s]

Seat belts are real, and save lives.

[@billarends2244]

Understand your feelings about seatbelts. A pain in the ass but I put up with them because I look at the numbers. For every person know or heard of that was harmed by a seatbelt there are thousands that are saved, so much so that it creates a shortage of transplantable organs. People wearing seatbelts survive death dealing head injuries and therefore removing good quality organs from transplant use. I wear mine because of my need to stay with my family. I am blessed to have survived multiple death dealing events. God keeps me around for some reason but when he says now is the time, I’m ready. Seatbelts, on or off, won’t change that. Do what is right for you and yours. God bless and keep up the wonderful trucking/family content.👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️

I believe mine has the 11.1 Detroit. Having a trailer that extends/stretches is quite handy! Why did you sell it? Just to clear up things, would you talk about your business plans again…how many trucks you currently have, etc. It seems that you’re finding the industry a little unstable right now & so you’re scaling back a bit.
