"TIS THE SEASON (FOR WAITING)” | A Truckers Vlog

[@arrowkart4j]

I put a quick connect on my air tank and I carry a 50 foot hose to do all my air pressures,makes life so easy. It’s amazing how many guys are unprepared out on the road with tools, clothing, and food. I was taught by an old timer back in the 70s. I listened to every word he told me.. saved my ass many times being prepared. Keep up the good work.🇺🇸👍💵

[@tommythompson3588]

@@arrowkart4j they wouldn’t know what they were for. If it ain’t on google they can’t figure it out. I carry coolant,starter,alternator,quick connects,compression fittings,heavy jumper cables, long air hose, big and small impacts, spare bulbs,etc,etc,etc. Being on the side of the road or in a parking lot somewhere with no way to get going is a helpless kind of feeling.

🎅🎄🧑‍🎄 Thanks for the entertainment you provide us. ❤ Y'all remind me often why I sold three perfectly good Petes and walked when my husband died. It was hard because I love those big beautiful machines.

[@Jeremiah2911gc]

Enjoyed video Martin. Cute wearing Alice's stocking cap or pink vest but most definitely looks better on her. I want to wish you, Alice & family a most wonderful 🎄 Christmas. Stay safe out there.

Great song!!

[@ronaldreese7431]

With the company I’m with and the transmission issues started with drivers not shifting to neutral before setting the brake

[@13699111]

I suggested that my niece start training on the auto shift transmission. She's not wanting auto shift without even driving a auto shift truck.

[@TruckingTogether]

That’s not our problem, we have it in neutral before setting the brakes. This truck has a failure of a part that was a massive recall that the prior owner failed to take it in for and now it’s out of the recall period

[@geraldjones8032]

Enjoyed the video. Have a Merry Christmas.😊😊😊😊😊

[@Kcnewf]

Merry Christmas. Hope that Santa Alice brings Martin the supllies needed to build the heated shop he deserves for working on trucks and an occasional mustang or camaro.

[@bryanritts213]

[@deanhardesty7528]

Thank you for another great video and have a merry Christmas and a great new year.

[@robertmirelez9672]

Dude you absolutely crack me up!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍👍

[@redmesa2975]

Alice is gonna wonder how her hat got all stretched out lol. Our small company uses a JJ Keller ELD. It works pretty well. Only issues I’ve had is when using a different truck, when mine is in the shop. It sometimes doesn’t like to recognize / connect to a different unit #.

[@Far_NorCal_DirtBag]

Merry Christmas 🎅

[@olddude7401]

Martin, watching your video I just had “ a V8 moment” - shipper and receiving docks have Christmas lights on all year long. LOL Need another Irish coffee.

[@MrDlc1969]

Love the Hat Driver ! Happy Happy 🍁🍁

[@rongray1785]

I love your stocking cap-it's almost as good as the pink safety vest you wear at times. I found some shoes 🩰to complete your outfit. 😁

[@TruckingTogether]

🏆 first comment

[@JohnHallgren]

@@TruckingTogether yes, but he got a 12 hour head start on the rest of us…so maybe give out another one to the normal subscriber who just posted as well?

[@JackGritton]

Good morning, how can I find an email address to talk privately? Thanks

[@jackball4201]

Good for you Ron, Martin would look pretty good in shorty shorts too. Man I just got a graphic. Trucking Together should put out a calendar.LOL

[@lpaalp]

Really nice you take the loads Alice doesn't want. She's such a delicate flower... maybe she'll buy you a jacket for Christmas?

[@TruckingTogether]

it’s not a matter of not wanting to take the load, it was a matter of it was “his turn” to go out. I’ve actually been waiting months to take a load out of Mosinee and haven’t been able to yet. -A

[@moondog3162]

Motive just sent us 2 new "head" units..... something to do with cell signal on the old ones......guess they having some issues...... Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎄

[@Beardandbibs]

why don't you have pocket tee's and Daisey Duke bibs in your store??? I was trying to shop for Christmas and was let down!

[@butch379]

Martin said he wasn't sharing the bibs with someone who would look better than him in them

[@leearmstrong3930]

What happened to your Under spread axle

[@Backhaul2024]

You have to make sure your motive is connecting. Your friend wasn't telling you the whole story. Probably wasn't connecting, and when it did, it was updated. I've been using Motive for years. It's the best.

[@tommythompson3588]

I was wondering if the template for the shifter hole and clutch linkage was already in the floorboard for ur 18 speed. I would assume there’d be a knockout for those. I bought a truck with an automatic this time. Hated it at first but I don’t know if I’d want to go back to shifting gears now. I’ve got the Detroit trans in my Western Star and knock on wood no issues at 713k. I shifted gears for 39 years. I kinda enjoy the automatic. Take care and y’all have a very merry Christmas and hopefully we all have a good new year.

[@TruckingTogether]

the 18 speed is going into a truck that’s already a manual

[@tommythompson3588]

Oh ok. I thought I’d heard you say at some point in the past you were swapping the one in the red truck. I misunderstood then. Don’t know if it’d help but have you unplugged your transmission harness and cleaned/checked the pins in the plugs. If it’s setting a low voltage code I would guess it’s a bad pin. If Eaton is like Detroit a dealer can take the code number and narrow it down to the specific pin. I don’t know what software you use but I invested in a Diesel Laptops system a few years back and it has paid for itself many times over. Almost got to have it now with these newer trucks.

[@TruckingTogether]

@ we are swapping it after Christmas with another endurant. we have two trucks currently, the 18 speed manual is for the black one Martin is building

[@danielloveall2952]

That must been a common thing i have a 2023 t680 with an auto it's doing the same thing it happens at the most in opportune times

[@TREE-TOPWOODWORKING-pe4qc]

Safe travels Driver

[@brucecarrell4919]

Nice hat Alice.

[@ChristineChaya]

Hey Martin! Do you know who Chad & Lisa Berry are? They live in Wisconsin too & they sell this stuff called Primrose Phaser and it helps with semis fuel and cleans out the fuel filter. It’s a wonderful product and may be able to help High Maintenance run better. You can also use it in 4 wheelers. Just an idea 😀

[@DANsTrucking_Outdoors]

MERRY CHRISTAMS

[@MrJschulze]

My Company uses the Samsara ELD driver App we’ve not had any issues with it. The Samsara fleet app allows the user to live track each unit location speed truck maintenance. They also have dash camera hookup

[@davidwhiten3742]

That hat looks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better on Alice! I’m just sayin

[@karlsborgwi.jewell9919]

I’m not a eld pro by any means but…….with our samsara eld you can lock the eld to a specific vehicle,, if that’s locked you can’t change drivers either … mite be your problem too. Tryin to help 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@michaelmanganella6443]

Try clipping mic to your hat brim. Keep on keeping on !

[@darylthisdelle7702]

I guess you guys get some negative comments. I don’t read all the messages but with Martin starting off the way he did it kind of says you do get those negative comments from the ones that really know. Lolol. Martin you do have experience shaking off the last drops of fuel from the nozzle, I caught that. I bet it was so much nicer waiting 30 hours for that load since it was a customer load and not from a freight pimp. You will get paid for waiting and not have to proof you were actually there waiting and then wait days and days to get paid. Never a dull moment, always something to fix. So they were expecting and hoping it was Alice. It seems besides you every one likes Alice. What’s there not to like, maybe low riding on those low rider toilets. I have not forgot. Well it Sunday, Christmas is Wednesday. I huge big sincere thanks from me to you and your family for all the great videos you put out this year. I eagerly look forward to your videos and have been since the first time I saw your Channel. You guys keep evolving into a bigger and better Trucking Together. I own a recording studio and I myself am doing the same thing. In the next few weeks I am buying a new recording console that will help me create better sounding recordings. We do pretty good all ready but like yourselves upping the bar. Never stay still, it leads to them passing you. Have a great and a safe day and Christmas Holliday to you and your family. Happy trails Miss Alice and Martin. D…

[@leeshaver7825]

When they asked you Martin where is Alice you could have said "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" 😆

[@georgesunberg3616]

Nice hat

[@lancehammons5918]

Easy fix at least

[@DimitarDimitrovBG135]

Hello, I am new to the channel and do enjoy your videos especially the fixing stuff ones. I started from your move to Wisconsin from California so I wander why did you leave? I was in California 2007 doing Vintage in a big winery (legally with work visa:) and as far as I can recall Ca. was quite a nice place to work and live.

[@JohnHallgren]

CA rules on trucking were getting too much plus the higher costs there were definitely factors in the decision. Also the Midwest has more opportunities for loads. They can explain it better but that’s some of it as I recall.

[@DimitarDimitrovBG135]

@@JohnHallgren thank you for you reply. I tend to follow several trucker channel from around the world. The other US channel is also in the Midwest, but that dude keeps complaining for the collapse of pay rates AKA $ per mile. Robert is doing stepdecks and may be that segment in particular is badly hit?

[@JohnHallgren]

@ I follow a few channels, including Clutch Trucker (dry van O/O), Tourette’s Trucker (hazmat tanker) and a couple of Prime (reefer) drivers and all are talking about the low rates these days.

[@daveclausen1275]

Do you each have your own phone/tablet for Motive? Where I drive we each have our own phone for it and never have a problem with any of the 3 of us using the same truck.

[@Truckergregg]

What happened to the fender? I must have missed that video.

[@TruckingTogether]

it was shown in this video at the very beginning. Bolt broke

[@jimgraves6464]

[@gillesclavet5543]

They still have it but the new red stripe one looks better with this truck, I believe they said before.
