"There's a gear that will work, it's not a good one." "Big Bucks to play with Big Trucks." That's gold !!

[@kens.3729]

“It Takes Big Bucks to Play with Big Trucks.” 😬 That is the Official SuperTruckerDan Quote of the Week. 👍

[@kens.3729]

Those Expensive Springs are Genuine Foreign Made Steel. 😬 You’re a Brave Man at the Weigh Station. 👍

[@margaretsevere2892]

I love the way that truck shifts.

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Thanks 6nz 18 over

[@andrewnorris1514]

I had to laugh Dan stopped talking while he was driving by the big scale house window. I can honestly say I dont sleep too good a scales.

[@johndsmith7785]

Dan, very surprised to see you up. Everything costs these days, shiny side up...God Bless 🙏

[@brianbridle951]

That larger cab is giving a more secure feeling, which allows you to relax and enjoy the day. great stuff.

[@dennismckown4951]

that spring purchase reminded me of story about our commanding officer's wife when she went shopping at the local stores, in Cartagena, Sapin. when the merchants saw here coming in her fancy sports car, they charged her twice as much for a product, than what we poorer people paid. eventually the Seabee's wife told her why she was spending more for the same thing that we were paying less for. don't dress fancy and don't take the sportscar to town.

[@stevegunn6929]

re: bonnet springs, I always think to myself the springs are probably as old as the truck, so if you divide the cost into years of service they're not very expensive

[@johnferreira2044]

Truck and trailer looking good Dan , For sure a lot of people are afraid of the Chicken coop , Not me For sure , Bailey just a happy little camper for sure 😁 That's the right thing to do Change both hood Springs , TAKES BIG BUCKS to PLAY with BIG TRUCKS 😁😎 be safe take care yourselve Dan

[@louisglen1653]

Peterbilt prices are like having a Cadillac because a Pete is the Cadillac of trucks!

[@dancrafton89]

When you said you was in a weigh station in Georgia I thought man how thing have changed. When I was driving OTR we got a ticket in Georgia for being to long with a cab over pete and a 40ft. trailer. We sled the fifth wheel up as for as it would go and still was not short enough for them. I think it was something like 52 ft back then. That was in the early 70s. They was checking length north of Atlanta and permits south of Atlanta. Our permit sticker for Georgia had come off the door but we had the right paper work for that so we got by with that just had to get a new sticker. Back then all the states east of Oklahoma had a 73,280 weight limit. Running from the east out west or back the other way we was not getting to run the weight we could if we had just run from here in Oklahoma out westland back. Stay safe and God bless. Dan C

[@MrHorsepro]

As always thanks Dan, for another relaxing video. Safe travels for you and Bailey and all my best to Teresa, That woman must be a saint, with her husband gone all the time, and she keeps hanging in there in full support of the plan. God bless all of you and keep you safe. P.S. On that 18 speed, I always figured any hole was fine if the engine sounded right at the time. 🙄 Had to reword that to eliminate the misinterpretation of my meaning.🤗

[@MrPjcrews]

No comment on finding the right hole. ;)

[@lornperkins4270]

[@efrenmoran8098]

We have perfect weather during the day here in Reno, NV….cold at night.

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK SR.! CONGRATULATIONS. 👆👍👊🤜🤛📺🇧🇷🇺🇸

[@justinmcauliffe2647]

Sitting behind you at the Kingman Blue Beacon! Truck looks great!

[@travismaxwell9115]

Rolling right along.

[@rstewardson4164]

Looks like a load of 463L pallets used to load cargo into US Air Force C-5s, C-17s and C-130s. I recall you picked up a load of them in Cadillac, MI where they are manufactured several episodes ago.

[@AnthonyGman]

So true. Glad I sold mine when I did

[@alvinjenkins8005]

Another good video. B careful. Stay Safe

[@wendellhagg3511]

Really enjoy Your Videos. I think that Your sharing accurately Life as a Trucker in Today’s perspective. It was really different in the Mid 70’s. I had a DCO-405 “Emeryville” International Harvester with a 238 Detroit. I pulled a Dorsey 40 ft. Spread. My leg would cramp holding the Throttle to the Floor. I made good money for times. I really like Your Rig when compared to My old Truck. Realistically, to survive Today Regulation’s are very much stronger. Traffic is about 800 % greater if not much higher. Owner Operator are still My Heroes !! Carry On !! H.

[@brians940]

Hey Dan this is Brian, Senior Airman Sanchez, who downloaded the 463L Pallets in Nevada. This is an awesome channel my man! Thanks for letting me know about it!

[@jenningsfisher3846]

love listening to your truck roll And shifting those gears!!

[@MrPjcrews]

Good Morning For You Dan. Hope you have a smooth Great Thursday 👍

[@ttgk8506]

FDOT officer told me ince that they don't bother trucks parked overnight at the scales unless they see something really obvious. He said they'd rather have us safely parked instead of an on/off ramp to an exit or rest area

[@garykocker5785]

The difference between a boy and a man is price of his toys!! I started my trucking career back in 1982 after many years of riding with my father! Your truck means you are the Man SuperTruckerDan!!

[@derrickodyes1934]

Parts used to be id say reasonable for the 2 international 9300s i ran but when they got in trouble with all the junk engines they built all that changed. Now vw is major shareholder and i purged those 2 9300s

[@joewlosjosephwlos5713]

Dan, I'd say spending those big bucks are worth every penny. That is one cool big truck. Cheers!

[@jg-xx8oh]

Dan your truck needs those old style individual round lights upfront 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@Boraxo]

I'm just here for the windshield time. Ain't nobody going to mess with you sleeping at the WS. That's a plus plus. :)

[@randallcarter-carterhillho2277]

Glad to see you come thru my neck of the woods. On i-22. I am near exit 30 about 15 mins before you stopped at loves in Hamilton.

[@robc2199]

That new I22 I believe was US 78 before, used to run it all the time to Memphis, was a lot of 2 lane back in the day and small towns/spot in the road places...damn I'm getting old..LOL I parked the truck 26 years ago and haven't been back...Stay safe out there Dan!!..

[@rollawy]

and a speed trap in every little town..not to mention no trucks in left lane...the good ole days...

[@BKLaz72]

Yep, old 78. That was the road my dad would drive when went to Mississippi to visit family. The last time I was in it they were upgrading it to interstate standards.

[@bigteeist]

Praying you and all the other truck drivers traveling grace 🙏🏾

[@adambrunt7290]

Thanks for the video Dan. We know you’re a busy man but we appreciate you taking the time to make a video. I don’t speak for everyone but I enjoy watching them

[@dennismckown4951]

i always preferred the long runs, couldn't hack short/dedicated runs, just got too bored seeing the same thing, back and forth. one time a company sent me in for a full medical checkup, to find out why i was so tired. instead of spending all that money, they could of just asked me. i was tired cause i was bored "seeing the same thing, over and over."

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels Dan

[@littleal4139]

Great stuff, your living the dream

[@scotthodgen5647]

Dan, was OTR and regional for 12-yrs. I am prior USAF NAVAIDS and weather equipment technician 8-yrs as well. Thank you for serving.. I enjoy your channel's content. Liked that you changed both hood springs. Stay safe.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Dan. Always enjoy your videos. Blessings

[@michaelrocker9000]

Hi Dan. Love Bailey to death. When it came to the hood spring I am sure there may have been some scrapyard where you could have gotten a replacement spring for pennies on the dollar. Since it's a Paccar part it wouldn't have mattered if it came off a Pete or a KW. I am sure that spring is common on many models. One size fits most.

[@martinschnibbe9543]

Good morning Dan. Really enjoy the road footage. I like the way you do things. Don't mess around. Replace both springs while you're at it. Thats why your equipment is top notch! Stay well, give Bailey a scratch for me.

[@michaelstone7978]

Dan, the tractor n Dorsey trailer looking sharp as always. Be safe in your travels.

[@LT.X380]

Good video. 👍 Drive safely my friend. God bless you. 🙏

That’s right Big Bucks for sure!!

[@lornperkins4270]

That's a huge sleeper...I love it. What size is it?...all it's missing is a few windows

[@Neverdie242]

I just checked Amazon and found some Peterbilt springs from $24.99 up to $51.98. Love those OME parts.

[@geraldlessard7446]

Travel safe, Dan!!!

[@davecramer9725]

Your videos continue to add respect to 'truck drivers'. Thanks for that. Great work.

Smart man! Replace in pairs!

It cost big bucks to stay in big trucks ,great video have a great day and stay safe

[@Oheeeoh]

Brings back memories seeing those military pallets. Good to see you Dan and Bailey. Safe travels!

[@onetuliptree]

I-22 looked like a nice drive, thanks for sharing.

[@Road-To-Destination.]

Paccar nose trucks are beautiful. When they need to be repaired, they do cost some money. Hit a deer = $20k ish for the new factory hood out the door. Still looks nice though.

[@mikehiggins5233]

Nice 👌

[@leewelbanks6366]

It's a good thing you have the wheel base, cause I-40 is a rough piece of road in NM & Az, Tx not so much.

[@randyhopkins9114]

But wherever you are now, come Wednesday night thru Friday they're predicting frigid temperatures for Texas, and Oklahoma! They're saying it's supposed to get down in the teens here in Ft. Worth! I know it's nothing like what you might get up where you're at, but for down here that's cold! Anyway, take care, you, and Bailey!...👍

[@mitchchandler8243]

We call that malfunction junction in Birmingham

Brilliant Dan love the video Reminds me of my road trip I did with a great mate in his truck from Eau Claire to Phoenixes AZ six days you stay safe and keep the video coming 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@gmcdaniel1964]

We here in Alabama call the interstate junction in Birmingham "Malfunction Junction".

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@jonsolomon4814]

Yes, it was last year when the I-40 bridge was closed and I was going to Dallas. It was a mess so I went back I-20 and it was a nice drive. Stay safe

A great one again..thanks

[@albertmartin6298]

You are a great person and a great friend and keep up the great work

[@duaneyounker7649]

Wow I was thinking about a look at the new Truck stop inside but I guess I missed that part !!!! 🤠

[@DreweZanki]

For water - if you ever want, you can get a triple filter system for your tank (use one in the RV), which can make it useable for drinking... Couple hundred bucks, less than two hood springs!

[@jimcollins8097]

I've lived in North Alabama for 40 years. The "spaghetti junction" in Birmingham is officially known as malfunction junction in Alabama. Even adot uses the term sometimes.

[@kaseycarpenter8009]

Damn I can't believe a Swift truck actually passed that Peterbilt

[@robertbarone2306]

Bailey is seeing more of the country than I have

[@scottcbarlow]

People that are native to the B"Ham area call that junction you're talking about, "Malfunction Junction." It can be a cluster ---- going through there sometimes. Love the new truck and glad you're happy with it too.

[@stevewintermute195]

one of many with that name across the country

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good video KEEP ON TRUCKIN 🚛🇺🇸👍

[@jamesterrill1938]

Living near I-40 and watching the forcast I believe thru most of next week you will be OK but after delivering in Nevada if it still good weather I think you would be wise to head home!

[@krisf5247]

Truck and trailer are looking sharp!

[@rickrogers9511]

Try Farm store for springs , i picked up couple looked about the same you showed in the video and was a lot cheaper, drive safe .

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Paid $99.00 for SS air tank u-bolts. Plus no nuts, picked up 2 of them for my 95 T600. Sold it and have them now. Guess I can use them to hold up my 2 blank KW key blanks I also found in my box of stuff.

Great title for this section

[@stevenritchea8562]

Great video. I’m on I40 heading east back from California maybe I’ll get to see ya. Safe travels

[@markpeterson6836]

Sleeping at the weigh station probably just encourages a thorough pre-trip.

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

I don’t have them on my 386. I have two pistons and their more than that lol Safe travels Dan

When my Dad taught me to drive 45 years ago he said "if can't find'm grind'm"

[@richardtillery8446]

Lol thats funny as I'm watching this its snowing in Fort Smith, AR

[@williamd7823]

If you think Peterbuilt parts are expense, try buying parts for an airplane! Plus you get the added bonus as an owner of NOT being able to do anything other than general preventative maintenance. On the other hand, we pilots don't have the luxury to pull off to the side of the road if something breaks when we are flying.

[@areyes1979ar]

Hello Dan and Bailey question have you ever had someone sabotage or steal something from your truck??? Hopefully not thank you for the videos please keep them rolling you and Bailey have a safe trip.

[@Hammerlane31]

I think I saw you Wednesday when I was coming back from Tuscaloosa, AL on 20. I was heading back to East Atlanta. What did you say you have that shows you how to bypass the scales? And can I get it from a truck stop? Please & thank you. Stay safe and keep them tires rolling 🚛💨💨💨

[@gtnoslp]

Good Vlog!

[@randyhopkins9114]

Dan if you'll get a pad for that ferocious gaurddog of you, you could let her sleep up under the trailer, weather permitting that is! I'm sure with her up underneath there, nobody would go near your truck!...🤪😅😂🐶👍 Yeah I know, I couldn't leave her out there all night either! She's way too cute, and I'd be more afraid of someone stealing her!...🐶💖👍

[@chris2173]

We call that junction in Birmingham "Malfunction Junction." The name is appropriate.
