That is just a gorgeous machine. Fancied up some but not overdone. Sounds amazing. And it's a working truck, which in my eyes makes it that much cooler. Takes a lot of dedication and hard work to keep a working truck looking that good.

Depends on what you're hauling.. Bulk material and going in and out of gravel pits or farms, then it's a daily 2-3 hour choir to wash and polish that much chrome. Pallet goods, shipping container or heavy machinery, then it all comes down to the weather. Even driving down the road a dewy morning can ruin a nice shine

As well as having my own elecrical and electronics repair businesses, I also worked for CUMMINS and as an Engine and Transmission rebuilder. My experiences and training I believe more than qualifies me to state that "It's STUPID" as well as ILLEGAL in most if not all U.S. states, and it truly is very inconsiderate to residents nearby busy roads/highways/interstates many appartment buildings and senior housing is in these areas, and people who work nights sleep during the day so, DON'T BE UNNECESSARILY AND STUPIDLY LOUD!!!

@@brucedammann1068 Bruce... No argument from me. I have over 20 years over the road trucking and tour bus driving experience myself and my comment was you can actually save fuel by cutting those Jakes off and only using them in times when you really need them. I run with mine off most of the time and turn them on only when I'm pulling heavy and need to hold speed on a down grade or need some assistance when coming to a stop. I drove flatbeds for 11 years and my commission was partially based on my fuel consumption and idle time. As a rookie driver, I could only get my fuel economy down so low until an Old timer told me to cut the Jakes off and I went up 2/10th of a gallon. Made more money that way, because I wasn't burning as much fuel and I still was able to stop the truck when I needed to. Personally, I can't stand the loud Jake brakes. In Tennessee where I live, we call them Redneck jakes. I drive a 35-ton wrecker as a tow truck operator now and I have my mufflers installed on my truck and I'm really ok with that. I hate it when I have to park my wrecker and jump in one of our heavy haul trucks that don't have muffler brakes. I feel like a idiot every time I have to get off of the fuel and the thing starts popping and making all types of noise. I wish I could hide sitting in the cockpit so nobody would see that it was me making all that noise. My compliment to the driver was for how good his rig looks...not because of how it sounds when he steps off of the go pedal.
