Well, if they all go electric, there's no need for the big old engine bay (nose) anymore. The batteries are in the chassis, and the motors are on the wheels. Cabovers would make perfect sense for better visibility and maneuvering.

Modern trucks don't have superchargers, however, if they were using some old school two stroke Detroit engines, those have superchargers. Fun fact, the 6-71 and 8-71 used to classify superchargers, comes from the 71 series Detroit and the size of the engine the charger went on. I.E. the 6-71 was on the 6 cylinder 71 series engine.

[@gavinehringer4341]

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest in the 70s, and the backroads were lousy with log trucks. The biggest problem was that the loads would shift and unbalance the whole rig, causing rollovers. We were taught to give them about 100 yards on the forest roads, particularly when there were turns.

Another thing that's often bugged me about that scene is the windshield that pops out from the bridge jump, then later on when the truck's roof is sheared clean off after passing under the low bridge, it magically reappears and the T1000 pushes out the driver's side to get a clear view

Old V8 Macks were super charged and the old 2 stoke detroits had a gear driven roots blower with a turbo feeding it.. the 8v92 turbo and off highway loggers had the 12v71 turbo... Also... The square cabs are called cab-overs. They were utilized for hauling more payload by having a shorter wheel base and legally allowing the use of longer A-train trailers, also had the ability for tight maneuvers.. The hay hauling industry benefited the most for this design. They are still the standard design for commercial transport trucks used in europe. Mostly for the ability to navigate the tight roads and hauling more payload in a compact setup.

[@Mecharuva]

Well it’s ten and a half hours by car, according to Google Maps. Definitely slower by truck but not by much. Assuming you get loaded and have a full Hours of Service clock, you could make it roughly 90% of the way there before running out of time on your first shift, then a ten hour break, then finish the trip in the morning after. So a ten hour run on day one, ten hours of mandatory rest, then maybe 2-3 hours to finish the run. Definitely doable in under 28 hours barring major setbacks. Plus, you got the choice of two routes, either go south to Shreveport first and then run straight over I-20, or go up to Memphis and then come back down from there, they’re both approximately equal time frames.

My wife calmly (thankfully it was calmly) says: "Tree" as we're heading towards what I'm guessing was a fallen Redwood, with branches and everything. The trunk was in the middle lane, and was bigger than our car. We narrowly avoided smashing into it in the darkness; if I wouldn't have dropped my speed because of the debris, we probably would have been killed. Luckily made it through without a scratch on the vehicle.. I also get those same type of Final Destination vibes when I'm passing a Hay hauler.. that's something I do not want to have fall on my car at 70mph..

[@Hybris51129]

Really wish you guys did Smokey and the Bandit or Convoy with these truckers.

[@igotmovesbabe]

I was hoping for smokey and the bandit too!! 😭 maybe next time

[@wowarchershirou]

Black Dog as well hopefully

[@TakNuke]

Final destination scene kinda happened with a flatbed trailer truck which was travelling side by side with my car. So that truck was carrying steel sheets which was tied down width wise but not length wise so at a traffic stop he braked which caused the steel sheets to be yanked because of inertia, cutting the cab and unfortunately the driver with it like hot knife through butter.

[@aaronwalcott513]

I love this series, Donut Media! Keep it truckin'!!!

[@bidwell13]

14:51 my wife’s grandfather had a car pass him on the road only to get stuck behind a rig and they lost a log off the truck and did a “Final Destination” on the guy. After he saw that he always gave trucks with loads that could fall off at least a 5 car gap.

[@realityquotient7699]

Fun fact about piss jugs, they're not only a necessity on the road but that have a very practical use in winter weather. I always kept a couple of gallons onboard in the winter. On an icy parking lot, dousing the drive tires with piss can be the difference between getting down the road getting towed out. It doesn't make a huge difference but it can just tip the scales in those edge cases. It's saved by hide more than once. Bleach does the same thing but piss is free (and won't degrade the tires).

[@josipzrnic4408]

I was driving my sister and her friend to the mall and we were behind this truck carrying what looked like a bunch of long metal tubes, we are at the light behind them and there's a substantial incline on the road, we all joked around saying final destination and all, Light turns green... WHEN THOSE TUBES STARTED MOVING, WE FREAKED OUT! I jolted around the truck, luckily nothing fell off, all the tube shifted like they were sliding off the back but im guessing the driver noticed cause he pulled over right away

[@christophertaylor9100]

The scene in Beverly Hills Cop where the truck goes crashing through everything should have been in this

[@erikmeltzer-rt7rh]

That had a reinforced front bumper and a very skilled stunt driver. All the crashes were real.

[@zackmarkham4240]

My father was a long-haul for 20 years, I went on the road with him for summer break a couple times. Yes, piss jugs are real. He used washed out gallon oil jugs. He'd have a couple and dump them down a storm drain at truck stops or into grass then wash them out again. He also told me about the 'Black Dog' truckers would see at night while driving tired. You'd hallucinate things, often a huge black dog running out in front of your truck. No clue why a black dog, but I asked other truckers when we stopped and they all said yeah, they've seen it. Frikking weird, man!

[@ronelchotai7176]

My grand father told me about the black dog They had a saying its the devil of the road riding with u 😂 idk how true it is

[@RianEvans-ub2bh]

DTR for two years 7:14 is called a overcab. The whole cab would of flown off on that drop. So tmit definitely was reinforced for the film. So that be a no fly zone on the movie take

[@natexthomass]

Hold on, 5:31 This isn’t true. Every truck sold today does not have a supercharger BUT back in the day Detroit Diesel had a variant of their 2 stroke diesel engine the Series 71 that could be outfitted with a roots type blower. So there are supercharged semi’s out there don’t let him fool you. They are few and far between these days though.

[@ssFaxes]

also that movie is in Australia, "Road Trains" are F***ing nuts lol

[@stephen3164]

Also, Mad Max is all about customizing vehicles with whatever parts you can find. Love how the throttle plate closes while sand is covering the engine, then opens back up when they raise the plow and hit the gas.

[@NBSV1]

All the 2 stroke detroits had blowers. They weren’t for adding power, it was to provide positive pressure to evacuate the cylinder so the engine could run right. The blowers were sized to match the engine. So, something like a 6-71 blower was for a 6 cylinder with 71 cubic inches per cylinder.

[@natexthomass]

@@NBSV1 I was really hoping someone would come along with more knowledge than me! Correct away! While maybe not meant to do what a traditional supercharger would do for an engine Id still say that counts as a supercharged engine.

[@geneotterbein5909]

Detroit series 2 stroke did use roots superchargers and turbos

[@John-y6h3r]

(time 8:00) might have 500 horse but they still have governers to keep alot of that locked up

[@googleuser3760]

As an ex diesel mechanic i can verify that at least one 18 wheeler engine manufactured by Detroit Diesel did in-fact have a supercharged 2 stroke diesel engine. There are very few left on the road and are rarely used. It came in a multitude of configurations from a V-4 in to a V-16. The V-8 was the most common in cab-over "flat faced" designs. Those engines were most commonly known as screaming demons or screaming jimmies. There are lots of videos on these engines. There known to be almost impossible to destroy.

[@TheFiftyQuid]

Corridor Crew looked at the log scene and determined the log bouncing in that manner defied gravity. It basically would have fallen off the truck and embedded itself into the asphalt. Instead, it bounced like 4' into the air.

[@Fetidaf]

Yea, whoever said that’s realistic is high. As they said in the video there are metal bars which are a part of the trailer; basically impossble to bend one of them, let alone all of them and even more difficult to straight up break one. And secondly; as you said, they wouldn’t bounce. Got into a discussion about this a while ago and someone said “well yea, but they can slide off” and I told him to go out and find two longs that he can pick up and try to slide them on top of each other then multiply the force you needed to move those by about 10,000 and that’s the force you would need to slide those big ass logs. And it’s correct that chains can break or come loose and you need one for every 10’ of cargo with a minimum of 2… which means if one does break or come loose then you’ve got another one holding everything back. So there’s like 5 full steps of “not gonna happen” lol

[@travispoulin252]

It wouldn't have even done that. The truck is carrying 20 logs plus the weight of the truck and not sinking into the asphalt. It would have fallen off and kept sliding down the road at the same speed it was going before falling off. It's more of a hazard to oncoming traffic than the people behind the truck. I had a extention ladder fly off the truck in front of me doing 60mph. It flipped straight up and over and landed right in front of me. I immediately hit the brakes and then let off as I watched watched it slide down the highway for probably an eighth of a mile before slowly coming to a stop in the median. That was like a 30 pound ladder. A 2-ton+ tree would carry much more momentum and slide much farther down the road.

[@Fetidaf]

@@travispoulin252 you’re forgetting about weight distribution and friction. The same reason a fully loaded truck stops faster than an empty one, this log would 100% not slide anywhere close to an 1/8th mile… it wouldn’t slide very far, if at all, just because of how much friction there is with the road’s surface. And since logs are round it’s contact patch with the road would be like an inch or two wide and depending on how it falls it may only be a few inches/feet long as well, combine it with the speed it’s going and that’s it’s relatively hard (compared to wheel’s rubber) it’ll certainly tear tf out of the asphalt, I don’t think it would go in like a spear and embed itself but it would certainly do some damage.

[@agwoolard3259]

Man log trucks still trigger my PTSD. In 1997 me and my best friend were riding with his 60yr old mom (we were 17)on the way up Orange Beach, Al, southbound on I85 right before Atmore, she passed a logging truck that had been driving erratic and as she did, one of the metal beams on the side gave way and 5 logs came down on top of that 73! Cutlass supreme. It felt like slow motion, I grabbed my friend and threw him into the floorboard and I laid across the seat,(At the time I was 380%lbs). His mom couldn't do anything, but despite the traumatic nightmare, we walked away with a broken hand(me), a broken leg,(friend) and a broken collarbone, arms, wrist, and cracked rib (her) and alot of bruising. We were lucky, but it messed his mom up, so we sued, and I made the mistake of joining their suit, they settled for 50k out of court, of which I got 5k

[@crazyidiot5309]

On the Terminator movie, when the truck jumps off the bridge, it lands with all weight on the front axle. The front right wheel has broken tie-rods, likely broke the strut/shock tower, and ripped the gearing off the rack and pinion because you'll see the front right wheel really wanting to take a vacation to the right, and the left tire was straight. In the next scene both front wheels were straight. Multiple trucks were used here.

[@michelr.4592]

was a bit confused they didnt call it a cabover since its what everyone calls them?? cant wait to see more trucker vids.

[@Wolf-ln1ml]

"European truck" would also have been been okay since they're the norm over here (I only see an American-style truck maybe once or twice a year...) due to the narrower streets and such.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

[@ericjackson1880]

On the topic of pee jugs I always found the 2 quart Sunny Dee bottle works best. It has a large volume, it was intended for people to drink straight from the bottle so the lip of the bottle is smooth, and it has a large opening for you to fit your....ummm🤔 part into it.

[@HumphreyRCAdventure]

Surprised they didn’t include the scene from Christmas vacation, when Clark drives under the log truck 😂

[@dontwanta]

The first one they're saying the 5th wheel would've unhooked must've never seen a dump trailer lay over that didn't pull the truck over with it. Truck upright but twisted with the trailer on its side, there's a lot of force there & the 5th wheel isn't letting go. A later one the one guy says trucks aren't supercharged must never heard of the 2 stroke Detroits that WERE supercharged. These people on here aren't trucking experts.

[@Adam-kj4pp]

@1:30 you can do it in as manual transmission also as long as you don't have to grab a new set of gears. My brother blocked the drive way with his rig. Took a me a min to find out how to turn off the breaks but moved it back and forward so I could get of of the driveway. If it's parked it's going to be in the low set of gears. So just need to take off the "parking" break and you good to go. He was confused as to how I found reverse I was like I tried all 4 corners lol.

[@jamesstemmler7620]

Piss jugs are real, but in 3 years of being a trucker... I have literally never used one. I always say if you need jugs you don't know how to plan.

[@markmayfield2228]

I've been driving for 28 years. Sometimes, you just gotta stop and go. Or find a place and check the moisture content of your tires. It isn't a matter of planning. A truck isn't supposed to be a truckstop queen. If your tires aren't rolling, you aren't making money. Quick stop, keep rolling.

It land dead center on the Datsun cab and the Datsun was flat, only thing sticking up was the pillars and wheels. Hwy 26 near the oregon coast about 18 years ago.
