"WORSE THAN A CATERPILLAR" | Trucking Life Vlog

[@darylthisdelle7702]

That dock was a door riper. Boy no room for error or a longer chain on the door would have let it get caught as you drove out. It’s funny how it always lands in the drivers lap. That door should be widened to accommodate the 102 inch trailers, and not having drivers be ever so carefull so they don’t damage their equipment backing in and driving out from an out dated door dimension . Alice you did a nice job on matching the music to the video and it gave a real nice audio and video presentation. My tire problems always game in three’s. Ya got that reefer running fine Martin. It’s funny how different units deal with different kinds of lubrication. Years back following on old V-12 Detroit for a few hundred miles you may have picked up some of its slobbering. The frames on a V-12 were always oil bathed. But then did pull for its time. Anywho guys great video and music. A great audio and visual experience. Thanks for posting. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D…

More than enough room for a trailer there.

Hey Martin, real glad to see ya got an 18 spd for Mama's ATM. Kinda surprised about the oil. When I bought my last truck she came from the factory with Delo. I had the dealer change it to Delvac. 1.075 million miles later her N14+ was still running strong when I sold her and retired.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

4 to 6 hrs is pretty normal there. I did get out in 2 hours once

[@TruckingTogether]

Nice people, that’s about it.

[@Halfstep2024]

For dark docks one thing I got that helps a lot (wouldn’t in this case) but I put a trux 2” led light about 3 crossmembers forward on my drivers side shining on the tandems and back. That way if it’s dark and they do have lines or a concrete seam you can flip it on when you open up and see what you’re doing.

[@mortimer_snide770]

@Halfstep2024, for dark or indoor docks I went cheap and just put a lantern style flashlight next to the dock bumper and as long as I could see it I was good to go. 🙂

[@TruckingTogether]

I have some back up lights on the spread.

[@waymonhutto2274]

A battery-powered grinder is handy to have on the truck. A You Tuber trucker had a blowout on a rear drive tire that bent the mud flap hanger against the wheel. He had to cut the hanger off so he could limp to the tire shop at the next exit. Safe travels. 😊

[@DSlick101]

The quickest way to dry out a reefer is to provide cold, dry air instead of warm or hot humid air. Setting it at around 34 or 33 degrees should work.

[@TruckingTogether]

Doesn’t work well when cold, the best way on a cold day is letting box temp get hot then turn it to cold.

[@ronthompson3525]

Maintenance s necessary but GD it’s never just easy. Stay safe guys ✌️✌️

[@Kcnewf]

Will Martin's "new" truck be ready for business in the new year? Need more content on that project!

[@TruckingTogether]

First to comment today 🏆

[@geraldjones8032]

Martin you are the guy to too. Enjoyed the video this morning. Have a good day.😊😊😊😊😊

[@KickininMyRv90]

Fantastic Vlogs Martin. Your priority is trucking and video of that process is a bonus to us viewers. Appreciate your content and great things you and Alice provide us. Is the new reefer red trim at home now?

[@TruckingTogether]

It’s on the road currently.

[@robscoenterprises9118]

Notice the sticker on your primer pump. There is a banjo bolt with a filter. Clean that filter when you PM. If it has rubber coated washers, replace them with copper washer. Pump the primer pump until you feel resistance. It will start and run without all that grief.

[@TruckingTogether]

The primer pump is junk on every thermo king and screen gets cleaned everytime. It won’t run when it sucks air through the sediment filter that needs bypassed.

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

Great reefer service video martin. Thanks for sharing safe travel, driver .

[@TREE-TOPWOODWORKING-pe4qc]

That was cool working on the reefer, glad you gotter going

[@JohnHallgren]

Oh goodie! A Friday video!

Definitely Nice when there's low deadhead & Gr8 Profitability in Haulin

[@toddstepan7712]

That dock in Mosinee was made for 96" trailers. I have been there numerous times. Have a safe ride.

you are a professional driver

[@tabithasalb9903]

Rosella is goooood stuff

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

fuel systems are like straws, if it leaks it drains back to the tank, which is usually the lowest point on almost all trucks. check the bolts in the cross yoke shaft clutch fork there was a recall on those a few years ago. oil is oil, all comes out of the ground, put on a ship, sent to different refiners, the additives is the only difference. different brands are better on some engines for sure.

[@TruckingTogether]

That bell is not staying on, it’s not hydraulic.

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good chilly morning yall

[@Opawsays]

Martin put a valve stem n fuel cap on reefer

Hi Alice & Martin

[@FulSpd1969]

KCK again on Friday. Us Missouri people don't claim Kansas City, Kansas. lol

[@ginabrierley9925]

Great sound on the mike

[@scottycollins1829]

Nice to have the 18spd in Mama's Atm Black 579

[@dinksawarenessadventure2535]

I was just wondering where you find your trucks seems like you usually can find pretty good deals. Any advice would be awesome. I have been trucking since 2008 and I’m deciding I believe I want to try to buy my own truck and go out on my own. Thanks for the great videos. Stay safe.

[@13699111]

Good luck with your plans

[@TruckingTogether]

Marketplace. I’m usually looking for projects though.

[@dinksawarenessadventure2535]

Awesome thank you for getting back with me I will have to check it out.i will probably have to find a project truck to start out and do a little at a time myself thank you for helping!! I have looked on truck paper and others but always seems to be over priced

[@TruckingTogether]

Truckpaper and Craigslist used to be where it was at, but seems everything gets cross posted into marketplace these days.

[@dinksawarenessadventure2535]

I talked to trucking with Schmidt to see what year his W900 was and he told me it was a 1999 so I think I would like to try to find an older truck like that.And your truck fancy you just sold.Just wondering if that would be the best way to go. Thank you again for taking the time to get back to me!! Usually nobody ever does.thanks again Isaac

[@scottycollins1829]

Nice 2 see another Gr8 Vid

[@scottycollins1829]

Rain is DEFINITELY Gr8 for washing all the liquid salt of the equipment

[@scottycollins1829]

Small Aluminum toolbox between the landing gear to keep a few items for the equipment will DEFINITELY be AWESOME

[@grumpysgararge5860]

Do you install the one piece quick change clutch brake before installing new trans? Did you upgrade your clutch as well?

[@TruckingTogether]

Yes, it’s actually in the 10 speed that’s currently installed into the truck that will be coming out. Clutch is new

[@DaleWells-d6q]

How do you pick the music for your videos

[@scottycollins1829]

Glad 2 be able to bypass the sediment filter that was causing the issues to the TK losing prime.

[@scottycollins1829]

The TK unit was Definitely needing that new air filter & oil change

[@pontiac1017]

Are you guys going to MATS?

[@TruckingTogether]

Probably but it’s not carved in stone yet.
