40 is a beautiful drive. I have done it numerous times in a four wheeler. Just a side note - most of the Circle K's in the Phoenix area have those lid dispensers you were talking about. "No kid juice on your lid" priceless !

Chris Greaves Hi Jack, I’m a ex Australian truckie now retired after 41 years in the industry and I started watching your videos about 3 months ago and I must say that I’m finding them to be very insightful as they give us a BS free look into your day to day activities ... not to mention the great scenery also. I had to chuckle to myself when you said you bought fuel for $2.65 per gallon as we are currently paying $1.58 per litre which equates out to approx $6.00 per US gallon ... easy to say that fuel is our biggest expense. Safe travels Jack and keep up the good work.

Hi Jack: Mirrors loose.....one of the greatest Enemies of trucking is Vibration. Sometimes you view toward the rear on the right side of your Tractor. Have a boo at it and you will see the separation between the Hood and Tractor or joint, traveling about a 1/2 inch up and down.....the Metal or Fiberglass definitely moves a lot between the Hood and Tractor. All that movement means everything is moving which means its a tough Job to keep things tight. Sometimes using larger heat treated Washers helps. A better larger Heat treated washer holds the clamping Force better. Soft Bolts and Washers just will not stay tight!

At 10:43, where one truck is only going 50, he is probably carrying a very heavy load. On a trip to Reno once, over I-80, I got behind a truck that was only doing about 25, and had has hazard lights on, becuase he was carrying a very heavy load up Donner Pass. Just how heavy can your truck be. If this guy was only doing 25 climbing up over Donner Summit, he must have been extremely overweight or something. That is why I wonder just how much weight you can legally carry in an 18-wheeler.

Question: Indiana J, I made the trip down 1-40 west to Albuquerque a few times. It is scary. Many of those truckers are going 85 mph an hour. I think the posted speed limit might be 65 because it is a "safety corridor". Why is that stretch of highway, and I'll guess, 40 miles, like a Nascar track? Seriously, if you are not keeping pace, it is dangerous.

The mirror problem must be a Volvo thing as I had them on my 1995 International conv. for 6 yrs. and never had a problem. Does Volvo still have the rubber bushings on the shocks? Maybe that is what is missing or worn out. Volvo's were always known for their smooth ride, this mirror thing surprises me.
