I have to thank you for teaching me some things that I applied yesterday in a very stressful driving situation. I pull a 43' 5th wheel RV with my GMC 3500HD diesel. I'm about 61' long. I pulled into a busy shopping center parking lot on our vacation and immediately realized it was a bad move. The only way out for me was stopping traffic, a long back-up, then exagerated wide turns using all the lanes. My wife helped stop traffic. You taught me to be patient, not rush, and kindly smile & wave when other drivers give me room to maneuver. By watching your video's I actually turned this stressfull situation to fun! I'm 68 years old, so that's also fun for me watching someone as young as you doing what they love, being good at it, and having fun doing it!! Thanks again Matt!!

Only yesterday watched him for the first time. I think he is perhaps THE most legit guy I've ever seen. SO extraordinary the way he keeps "an even strain".

A good trick I learned for the corner boards is to throw your straps, tighten them down just enough so you still have a bit of slack, then get a long paint roller stick, put the board on the roller and push the corner boards under the straps up to the corner

That little forklift had the little engine that could!

Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. I really appreciate how you keep it real, show the good with the bad. Great stuff.

Thanks for showing Canadian trucking. It was interesting to see how to take Moffett up on the trailer.

Thank you from a old retired truck driver you take me on your trips❤ I miss it as he'll but I can't do it any more but ya thank you gods speed and keep the rubber rolling❤❤😊

I drove my truck for a year and everything one the truck was working awesome the moment I purchased the truck I’ve been fighting the same things you have 3 months into owning the truck I had a catastrophic engine failure. I swear this truck a mind of there own good luck with your truck and moffit. Thanks for the videos

One of the perks of being older than dirt . Knowing the tunes . Your moffett needs a lot of dialing in

Spent eleven years with Lowes on the flatbed with Moffett forklifts. The three wheel steer models are best thing since sliced bread !

I like to see you working around your truck like that, im in truck school right now and i like to see what is really like to work outside beside the driving , thx for the content

Every day I wake up, I wonder if you will upload today. I look forward to each one

Thanks for a great vid. Loved the sounds of silence with the MOFFETT back and forth. Great show.

You really provided a great content!Thank you for sharing bud ,I notice that you deliver & unload you own freight & do inside delivery wow I hope you get compensated for your extra hard work!.Have a great weekend Sir.

I have that same tool kit and it's saved my butt so many times it's ridiculous lol. That moffett just wants to keep working.

You sounded a bit under the weather, but were working through it. Brings back memories of being out on the ROAD. Hope you’re feeling better, and always enjoy your vids.

Great video, mate. I have a very similar set up to yours. I run a curtainsider B-train with a Moffett mounted in the same position as yours. I tow it with a 1999 Mercedes Actros doing deliveries in and around Auckland, New Zealand. I like your approach... no nonsense, no fuss, just get the job done. Stay the course, brother.

i really enjoy watching your adventures. stay safe and have a blessed day, respect from australia

That Moffett sounds just like my king old Ford Explorer hydraulic steering booster. Well heck, to think of it, any Ford steering booster ever... 😁 Just keep on trucking and rocking!

Good job mate & keep those Wheels rolling 👍👍👍

Another great video there sir! Whenever you were changing the belt I was surprised to see that the idler pulley was still in good shape. One time this happened to me, the idler froze up and lost the ball bearings causing the belt to come off of the alternator. I’ve been told cats are notorious for that. Just a little fyi if you didn’t already know that. 😎🤙🏻

I wish I have the will to live as strong as that fork lift.

JUST CAUGHT YOUR VIDEOS, THANKS FOR SHARING & WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST WITH YOUR TRUCKING CAREER, CALLTHEMALL!!!! CHEERS & KEEP YOURSELF SAFE!!!! 😉😉🦅🦅

Same luck as me, lol. Just about to pull out somewhere, and a 4 wheeler comes and decides to turn around. I think this video really shows exactly what trucking can be like (daily) when you go to new delivery locations, mechanical issues with equipment, etc. Murphy (Murphy's law) seems to be my passenger some days.

I'm in IT and don't do any trucking but really enjoy your videos. Stay safe out there

I had that same problem on my forklift. I had the mechanic add hydraulic fluid and boost the hydraulics. Now I can side shift full weight. Being that it's your lift, you can get that thing dialed in the way you like it.

Nice looking Peterbuilt. Love the color combo.

Hey Matt, above and beyond the call of Duty!! Bravo! It's so great to see a young fella doing well with care and attention, best wishes from an 81 year old, who spent most of his life on wheels from Pan-techs to Bendy Busses, to Double Decker's, Backhoes, Tractors and Tour Busses, all over the world, well, in US, Can, UK, EU, Au, NZ, and now retired in Tasmania :)

Hey, sound like your under weather. Hope you get better as well, you doing aa great work getting to everything done from getting the belt places and the load to where its going. Keep going, you all most done hope you can get rest after. They should make a kill switch if the machine decides to not turn off. like updated machines.

That is one stubborn moffett! You better nickname it "Terminator".

I used to deliver for Brampton Brick many moons ago. Some familiar territory watching this video. I know your pain when it comes to an improperly maintained Moffatt. Hopefully you can get all the kinks worked out it soon. lol

Enjoying for the past hour as newly to your channel. I was in business for 43 years before I finally retired. My suggestion to you is to drop the Moffett off at a dealership and have them go thru it. You don't have time to play with it and you cannot afford to break down on a job sight in somebody's way, and you can't get it back on your truck. Stress released!

Long nose 379 with b train just looks bad ass!!💪💪💪💪💪

I can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner! Nice to see a trucker's POV in the GTA. I live just 2 lights west of Highway 50 and pass by these buildings everyday. You may have stopped by my work at some point too 'cause Brampton Brick is one of our customers and I may have helped load/unload your trailer. If you ever stop by Blok-Lok on Highway 27, ask for Daniel. Cheers!

I thought I was listening to Simon & Garfunkel, it’s one of my favorite songs and done very well!

If I remember right, that style of moffett has issues with the fuel shut off. We literally attached a pull cord to temporarily fix the same issue. It's a solenoid that doesn't close a valve, and can also drain your battery if it keeps trying

I just picked up a Moffett too. Great little machines. Next time you have the issue of it not shutting off, open the engine compartment lid, and on the back side (towards the rear of the machine) of the engine you’ll see the fuel shut off lever connected to a solenoid. It should read “stop” on it. You can move it to the stop position and hold it there until the engine dies. Solenoid/solenoid wiring is probably messed up. I just shut mine off manually every time

@em2965

Open the big cover that opens up the whole rear of the machine, about midway up the engine you’ll see the solenoid and fuel valve. If it doesn’t say stop on it, you can always turn the key on and off to see which lever moves. that’s the fuel valve that you would shut off next time

Hey I think I just seen you near Enbrum! Keep the vids coming!

Hello from Brazil, nice vídeo!!!

Oh dear - looks like there is a Moffett rebuild video soon!

Truck ABS light is most likely moisture related. 50% of the Peterbilts where I work throw truck abs lights when it’s nice and wet outside 😂

Always pack spare belts had rocks come off a tire and shred the belt and fluid film helps keep the green meanies away from electrical wires.

Damn that Moffett seems like a bit of work, but in saying that at least you can fix it up and know it will be okay! Hopefully the motor is good despite the fact it's probably got sludge everywhere from lack of oil changes, maybe down the line you could clean it up inside of the motor if it's getting choppy or blocked up.

I'd love to see how the rails work in depth. And even a link to them. I have never seen that style only on the back of truck.

nice video but it was the first time seeing a moffett getting loaded up this way. here in europe we put them at the back of the trailer.

One of my biggest dreams in life is to drive a Peterbilt 🤣 I wanna lay that bad boy down

Hi Matt!! Awesome video and best trucking channel on youtube!!. I used to run a moffet truck for Rona, and Hiab Cranes on Sunset Drive off of Victoria Park in Toronto used to sell and service Moffets if you need any help. Cheers !! Rob

That drumbo place you slept at is right down the street from an old buds place

Have you driven a old school piece of diesel equipment where you have to pull a lever to shut off the engine? I think your forklift is the same, except it has a pull solenoid under the hood that pulls the fuel shutoff for the engine. If it's like my Kubota tractor, this pull solenoid doesn't work sometimes. A little wd 40 on it will help, and believe it or not on mine, if I leave the rpms up a little bit when I turn the key off it works better. You can also get a lawnmower cable and rig it to the fuel shut-off lever on the injection pump and use that to shut it off. It must have a electric fuel lift pump on it, that sounds like the reason it slowly died when you pulled the battery. I bet you have a hard time starting it again after that.

Matt, come to Australia and tow four!! Not b,s ,trains! I'd love you to have the experience mate. I tow 6 sometimes, with a push motor on my middle trailer! You will do well bro!

Moffets were invent in ireland there normally rear mounted on the truck or trailer takes up no trailer space

Try using "Corrosion X" the red aerosol can on all of your electrical harnesses and connections.

Truck self sabotaging itself sheesh

Maybe it wouldn't shut off because of the position of the forks, it might have sensors/limit switches where its got to be 'rested'

That's nice . I have trucks and forklift too

The Moffett forklifts are a good machine but that one has certainly seen better days. It looks quite old and seems like someone has done some butchery on the wiring.
