TRUCKING THROUGH THE GORGE PETERBILT 389 PRIDE AND CLASS

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

Let's roll bandit getter done safe travels driver 🙏

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you buddy. Much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@Shannon184]

Thank you for another great ride Bandit! My favorite stretch of I 40, East or West, The Gorge! Have a good evening and stay safe

[@OTRBandit]

People say you even more beautiful in the fall. I think I’ll need to come out there in the fall and check it out myself.

[@Shannon184]

@@OTRBandit Fall is absolutely beautiful and the weather is perfect. My favorite time of year. The leaves start changing first in late September in the higher elevations around 6000ft and as the season goes on the leaves start changing down into the lower elevations until around the end of October beginning of November 🍁🍁

[@heathmccracken]

Are you truck driver as well

[@heathmccracken]

​@OTRBandit how's it going man. How do I start out trucking to get trained on the road with someone hauling loads

[@OTRBandit]

@@heathmccrackenYou can either pay for trucking school yourself and than go get a job with a company that will train you or you can go to one of these big companies and they will pay for your license and training but you would have to work for them until you pay that license off. Pretty much any big company will be able to do this for you.

[@isaacroets8806]

so cool to see that you drove thru my hometown! stay safe and watch out for those revenue collectors

[@OTRBandit]

Always watching out for those. Can’t afford to give them any money.

[@dont9098]

Gday Bandit Hope you had a good few days at home with the family Take Care Mate

[@OTRBandit]

Every day at home is good day, my friend. And thank you very much . You stay safe out there.

[@ronnieterry4916]

A great video. The last time I stopped at that scale it was night time almost every truck was going by. The scale at the end of the video. That scale house worker came out and looked at my front tires weight ratings. And each tire was rated at six thousand pounds. I had to get two new tires from the loves just over the other side of the hill. I had to get tires rated at seven thousand pounds each. I couldn't move any additional weight off of the steer axle. I was under gross by three thousand pounds. I had weighed the truck after getting loaded. If you ever have over twelve thousand on the front axle the tires must be rated at over six thousand pounds each. I had two tanks of diesel and that made the front axle heavy with the freight.

[@GimpyExpress]

I ran into that in Washington state. Promised to get the 7,000 pound rated and never did. I always kept my fifth wheel set to stay at 13,000 pounds when loaded. It’s easier to burn fuel than to cut a load. Or even get it reloaded heavier to the trailer.

[@OTRBandit]

That’s what I just got. I got tires that can carry 13K pounds on steer axle. And they ride much better than the ones I had before.

[@ronnieterry4916]

@OTRBandit That's great and then the tires you took off the front can become trailer tires. Great movie.

[@chefboyrv57]

Love that Jake Brake all the time hahaha

[@OTRBandit]

Hopefully using them this often doesn’t mess up my engine lol

@ OTR Bandit you remind me of my grandpa. He used to drive truck long distances like your doing. He passed away a few years ago due to cancer.

[@OTRBandit]

I’m very sorry to hear that he’s no longer around buddy. May he rest in peace 🙏🏼

[@genewalton4962]

MR JAKkE BRAKE !! Your so fun to watch

[@OTRBandit]

Gotta have fun every now and then. Otherwise, you’ll go crazy out here.

[@sonnygreen9698]

Walmart does charge if your early BUT, they will take you an hour early with no penalties in all the ones I have visited, there is also one good thing about Walmart too, they run a 12/12 (noon to midnight-midnight to noon) if you should be running late they have a decent grace period. I can never seem to grasp the concept of temporary pavement and why they can not lay it down in such a manner that it will not throw the steers left and right or try to shift and twist the vehicle, maybe it’s what my father taught me “if you do something, do it right or don’t bother doing it at all” 40 through there is spectacular visually speaking, one of the worst to me is 68 through WVA, PA, MD, especially when your at gross, you lose so much freaking time but it too has some pretty steep ascends and descends. Safe travels bro !!

[@OTRBandit]

I’ve done 68 few times but only when I’m under 20K. If I’m over that I’ll take the turnpike though PA and back down to Baltimore. I also hate 77 through WV. You’re right, Walmart will let you come in one hour early. But sometimes you can call them ahead and reschedule without penalty. I’ve done that in Saint James, MO and somewhere in western Texas.

[@Gunning-for-Trucking]

Target also charges if you deliver early $250 if you are early or late

[@OTRBandit]

I’ve only delivered to Target one time. I hate Target and Walgreens. They take forever to unload.

[@nistra5703]

the scenery is absolutely beautifull. very good video

[@OTRBandit]

Thank you very much. People say it’s even more amazing during fall time when all the leaves turn different colors.

[@briankirby918]

Hey. Buddy. All around my stomping grounds. Might see you. Around here one Day. Awesome. GREER SOUTH CAROLINA.

[@OTRBandit]

Yes, sir this was my second time coming down in like a month. I’m sure I’ll be coming down again in the next few weeks. If they pay me good.

[@fredmcculley9501]

I feel almost like what you just said retiring out of trucking I was going to hang in there another 5 years😊😊😮

@@OTRBandit yeah been trucking 4 years and would love to buy a truck and do it on my own but you know as well as me is now is prolly not the time to do so

[@OTRBandit]

@@GonGet812This is actually the best time to buy a truck. Prices on used trucks have never been lower. I know loads don’t pay that good right now but I would still go ahead and buy a truck if you ever plan on buying one. I don’t think they will ever be as cheap as they are now.

[@chefboyrv57]

Wednesday morning here bro. Tornado action last night close by us, the sirens were blaring. Scary shit dude! I'm sipping my cup of Joe ridin along with ya! I hope you get a little break with the family for Memorial Day Weekend, chillin & grillin! Peace brother, always look forward to your journey!

[@OTRBandit]

Dang brother, I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully everything is ok. I’ve seen that storm moving east from Iowa and Missouri. I was in it yesterday south of Kansas City. Ran into some hail and had to pull over for a minute. Hopefully these storms will go away soon. Seems like we have a tornado scare at least once a week.

I went across this one pass in California & I was surprised to see 25% I didn't know they did that steep of grade

[@OTRBandit]

I’ve been on one very steep grade in Pennsylvania, but I cannot remember what percentage it was. The highest percentage I can remember was 11% in PA. 25% is crazy. They need to reroute the road somewhere where it’s a lot safer.

[@donaldnielsen6677]

Why do thy charge you if your early you think it won’t matter

[@GimpyExpress]

Because it’s an inconvenience to them and helps the driver. I’m happy to pay to get unloaded early. Makes money in the long run.

[@OTRBandit]

Walmart charges for some reason. I think it’s because it’s inconvenient for them or something like that. A lot of places did not care whenever I pulled the dry van. But unfortunately, reefer is all appointments hundred percent of time.

[@GimpyExpress]

@@OTRBandit being out of Idaho, I pretty much have to do reefer. Not that reefer. I would love to do dryvan, but rates are less and most spuds out of Idaho are reefer, not that kind. So I’ve always played the reefer (not that kind. Well yes I did as a young man) and so I pull a reefer and play their games.

@@GimpyExpressYou guys haul potatoes and onions from Idaho? That’s what I’ve been told but I’m not sure.
