TRAILER ISSUES PETERBILT 389 PRIDE AND CLASS GLIDER

[@AntonioMartinez-gu8sp]

Thanks!

[@OTRBandit]

Much appreciated brother 🙏🏼 thank you very much.

[@GimpyExpress]

When I started driving in 1987, a good friend of the family told me that if I go trucking I will never get out. He was right. Prayers for Greg and his family. I’m going to try and find a creeper that has larger tires, so I don’t have to crawl in the piss. Before automatic slacks adjusters, we had to adjust our brakes before going down steep grades. I remember the first time I got under the trailer and smelled fresh piss.

[@OTRBandit]

Harbor Freight has some really good priced creepers. That really is true, once you get into Trucking it is very hard to get out. It’s like a drug.

[@wonjat5]

Good work on the airline, it’s great that you’ve got the tools and parts and know how to do those type of repairs.

[@OTRBandit]

I think every owner operator should know how to do this to save money. Thank you very much, buddy. I really appreciate that.

[@ranger70]

Nice trip good job fixing the air leak and thanks for washing the windows. Enjoy your home time buddy

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you very much buddy 🙏🏼

[@my1vice]

Awesome quick fix. You're right, repair shop bills put many o/o's (especially lease drivers) right out of business.

[@OTRBandit]

They definitely did. Gotta be able to work on your own stuff or you’ll never make it as owner operator.

[@chefboyrv57]

Nice repair work dude, great learning video!!

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you very much, buddy 🙏🏼

[@dennisdubey2126]

Love watching your day’s work. Stay clear of the revenue collectors my friend!!!

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you very much buddy 🙏🏼 avoid revenue collectors like a plague.

[@treverwest7449]

Getting a drivers license was once seen as a privilege. Now ppl think it’s a right. Common sense has left the building long ago

[@OTRBandit]

Biggest issue for people back then was double clutching. Now with automatic trucks, anyone can get CDL unfortunately.

[@DeanHenry51752]

I agree with you OTRBandit

[@captainlarrynosleepfishing5350]

The biggest problem nowadays are the steering wheel holders that poop in bags and wear flip-flops 🩴

Way to go bandit!! Your skills are the best!

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you very much, buddy 🙏🏼

[@captainlarrynosleepfishing5350]

As an owner operator, you have to be handy fixing your rig! OTR For Life 👍🏻

[@OTRBandit]

You definitely do need to know how to do some of these things. Otherwise you’re not gonna have any money.

[@Shannon184]

Hey Bandit! Another great video! 😊. I’m so glad you were able to fix your trailer. All of those tools, extra parts and your capability to fix stuff saves a lot of time and money. That’s awesome that you can fix your own truck and trailer. I’m glad that storm wasn’t to bad because we don’t want any hail damage to mess up the Beast. Have a great night and stay safe Bandit

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you Shannon 🙏🏼 I think I may be MacGyver reincarnated lol Thank God there wasn’t any hail where I was. Big hail would definitely dent my hood real bad because this hood is made out of aluminum. You have a great night as well.

Happy to be riding with you buddy.

[@OTRBandit]

Thanks for coming along brother 🙏🏼

[@ronnieterry4916]

I agree with you about the tipping. The service also should be good. You shouldn't ha ve to go looking for the waitress to get a refill on your soft drink or water .

[@OTRBandit]

Sometimes you get a really crappy service and they still expect tip. Not today buddy.

[@bradchandler6967]

Seeing those railroad bridges in Chicago reminded me of the ONE time I bridged a trailer. I stopped at a Union76 truckstop on Manheim Rd. to get fuel and I asked the guy if it was ok to take Manheim instead of getting back up on the Kennedy Expressway, and he said yes, but "don't stop anywhere because the blackies will get you" ! So off I went, in my old '65 B67 Mack with 22" rubber and there are railroad bridges every few feet it seemed with no height signs, and they looked low because the road dipped down under each one. Oh I was empty by the way. So I stopped just before getting under the first one and got up on the deckplate and looked. There wasn't more than 2" clearance ! So I slowed down at each one, and there was a shitload of them. Until i heard a ruffling sound under one and saw yellow fiberglass floating in the air behind me. FUCK !!!! Just caught the right front corner and kinda accordianed it back a foot or so. That aluminum alloy in that roof was stiff shit !! Couldn't flatten it back out, so I just jumped on it and pushed it down below the section around it, go a couple rolls of duct tape and went across diagonally 90° to each other and called it good. It never leaked !! So that's my Chicago story, hope you enjoyed it. I was out there from Massachusetts delivering a load of plastic flower pots, and I tripleased a load of empty computer cabinets right back into Mass.. That was in 1978. I've been over most of this country with a Rand Mcnally Road Atlas, a Rated Bridge & Low Underpass book, and a CB radio !! How trucking has changed !!!!!!!

Hey Bandit it’s definitely one of those days especially when you’re trying to get home never easy and once again another expensive repair.. Enjoy some well deserved time off with family but I’m sure being an owner operator always something to do with the Truck and business side of it…

[@OTRBandit]

There’s definitely always something to do on the truck every time that I come home. But thank God I made it home safely and I was able to replace two airbags when I got home

[@user-yk9oj6cl2u]

Holy fudge Buddy, that storm at the end while you were getting unloaded, I was waiting to see a frikin cow drop out of the clouds there. Pprrrtttt. Yes sir, thanx for the ride and good job at doing the temporary fix of the air leak on the trailer, I sure hope you, and all the people there in Mt. Sterling stayed safe during that weather, by the way, 'ol google says the population there is about 2100 folks.. Anyway, looking forward to the next trip, stay safe. Oh also I agree about not wanting to sleep on a street in Chicago, unless those very special numbers,( 357 ) are right in reach !! Keep 'R between the mayo & mustard..

[@OTRBandit]

Appreciate that buddy. I for sure thought tornado was coming. Wind was blowing like crazy luckily it was just rain and not flying cows. Temporary fix worked and I was able to replace airbags this past Saturday.

[@lindapackard1695]

Hi bandit, whats happening, nothing going on here, lol . Good video and we are so glad you can fix your iwn truck and trailer, wow. You are so lucky. I wait for your videos everyday. Truck safe, take care and chat soon i hope ❤

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you very much, Linda. You really have to know how to fix stuff on your own if you are going to own a truck and make money. Another video coming today 🙏🏼

[@jeromejeffery3291]

I tip only if I get good service unless I am in a restaurant that expects tips for service you are right though workers should get living wages instead of meager earnings that they are forced to accept

[@OTRBandit]

CEOs are making millions while their workers are barely surviving. Definitely should stop asking for tips and pay their people more. Delivery drivers and restaurant servers always get a big tip.

[@shoey64]

Bandit you were so close to my home. I would have loved to meet you. I would have even bought your lunch. o well Maybe next time. Be safe and God bless.

[@Razbuildz]

Another great video! You're right about telling the young ones to leave the job. My dad told me the same thing when I got into trucking and he was right. Sadly the truck gods took him away 2 day's ago, heart attack, he was only 59, this job sure kicks your ass and kills you faster. It sure makes me want to look at life differently now.

[@OTRBandit]

I am so sorry to hear that he’s gone my friend. RIP to your father. Hopefully you and the family are getting through this tough time ok. This job will take all of us before our due time.

[@Razbuildz]

@@OTRBandit Thank you! I'm sure he's up there having a cold beverage and causing trouble already lol. Honestly he had a lot of health issues and from my point of view, I'm relieved because he's not suffering anymore. He taught me many things and now it's my turn to pass it on to my 2 boys! This job sucks but someone has to do it for all the ungrateful manbun kids. 😂

[@OTRBandit]

@@RazbuildzI always say it’s better to go than suffer. Teach your boys that this job sucks. But unfortunately once you start doing it, it’s really hard to get out and go do something else. Stay safe out there my friend 🙏🏼

You never see a older truck driver thats not broke down in someway my dad Associated Transport tell they went out in 1976 he then started his own business first hauling coal then bought another truck and started heavy haul he wanted me to go on to collage but when you teach a 16 year old boy how to drive I was hooked now Im 61 and semi retired still have the old Pete and the 900A there setting out in the shop I think their in better shape than I am they are always ready to go somedays with the back pain I have feel lucky to set up on the side of the bed😂😂

[@hermanwall850]

I've noticed that you dont dump the trailer air suspension normally to get loaded and unloaded. I may be wrong on this but to me it seems like that put unnecessary stress on the air bags. If you don't have a dump valve for the trailer then I'd suggest getting one installed

[@OTRBandit]

I don’t have a dumb valve on my trailer. If I was to dump all of the air from my bags, I think that dock plate would put too much stress on the trailer floor. I do have valve that I can twist of on my air thank so I might try that one day to see how it goes.

[@hermanwall850]

That could be that it adds stress to the floor. I always dump my air and if the dock height is high then I slide tandems all the way back and if dock height is low then I leave tandems further forward but regardless the air always gets dumped. Less movement up and down helping to save my door seals from ripping against their docks as well. Hey maybe I'm doing it all wrong

[@OTRBandit]

@@hermanwall850 I will definitely have to try dumping my air one of these days whatever I’m picking up or delivering. I want to see how the trailer is doing whenever I do that.
