LOL, camera view on the trip home makes it look like your truck is running sideways and you aren't even looking down the road. Unique!

I knew right away where that truck was from. Was just down the road from me when I lived in the valley. Small world.

Absolutely beautiful scenery😊 You are such a natural at explaining everything about your job to the camera! Keep up the great videos and stay safe out there!❤️🙏

Neah Bay! For a completely off topic reaction: first and only time I heard of that place, was in 1973. The rockband Redbone recorded their ‘We were all wounded at Wounded Knee’, which made it to number 1 of the charts for over a month in the Netherlands (and Belgium). So they did a concert here, in the Netherlands, western Europe - and 20yr me was there. The Native American band worked from LA - which sounded relatively common - but drummer Pete DePoe was from the Makah nation in Neah Bay. In those (all paper) days you needed a pretty detailed world map to find my Netherlands, but finding Neah Bay was almost impossible. That’s how you engrain stuff in your brain, forever… Thanks Casey for taking me there, both for the view and the memories.

Yes it was a good trip and I very much enjoyed the smooth ride of the new seat , the fantastic views and learning some new information! Thanks for taking is along Casey! 👍

23:00 speaking of heavy, speed will negatively effect your bypass chance too, in wa and id. If you are always getting pulled into the WIM scales, try slowing down to 55 over the pads, like on i90 and i82. I used to get pulled into the Plymouth scale on i82 all the time, but i was almost always empty since i passed it on my way home for the weekend, but going 60 over the pads got me pulled in. Going 55 just for that section resolved that issue

Ethan will appreciate the better ride as much as you. Comfort is important!

Casey you are right on not tying up the Star to one income source. Had the same deal hauling aggregate and heavy equipment. Talked to the ownership out of buying another truck once i ran the numbers past them. Great choice with the Zack lift. Take care be safe out there. Greg

In the UK we have the DVSA who control everything to do with commercial vehicles, they have a traffic light system to rate companies, I was working for a green light coach company but in six months I got controlled ten times (nothing wrong in any control) on the eleventh stop I asked why I was being stopped so much, the guy went and checked his computer and told me my registration had a red light even though the company was green, a green company can not have a single vehicle as red, he apologised for stopping me and said he had looked at all the stops I had and couldn't believe that no one had noticed before, I wasn't stopped again in the next five years.

Casey you are a man that is on top of it all the time you sure look after your gear Maintance wise take care

I did some rescue work at Neah Bay , Wish you were there a fellow employee drove a company dully off a cliff and had to hire a crane for a 600 foot lift and riggers from Seattle and horses and park rangers and trail guides from the Indian Reservation at Neah Bay because there was no road or trail where the truck landed at the bottom of the cliff in a Indian Reservation $16 K in 1981 .What a beautiful place with some intense weather. And I got to see and meet the Rolling Stones and go to 2 Stones concerts in the King Dome while I was waiting for the crane in Seattle.

Thanks for taking us on the journey Casey. Always appreciate listening to what you’re doing and the great stuff you talk about.

And welcome to Aberdeen where you can literally get it all from drugs to diseases. Lol. Those two nuclear cooling towers you showed are decommissioned and one is just an empty shell.

That last bit of road out to Neah Bay is nasty even in a car-narrow, windy, and trying to fall into the sea! Beautiful views though, especially if you hike out to the point.

Nice trip, brings back memories of long ago, lived in Aberdeen Wa. for a couple of years; "cleanest bad air in the world, gets washed twice a day".

Aberdeen loops like it could a be a really cool little town, but driving through first thing in the morning with homeless people sleeping literally everywhere makes it a place I would never want to take my family to visit

You are right on about the PNW log truck drivers. They do not spare the whip. I’ve been behind them many times in a car on twisty narrow roads and they just go. Stay in their lane and keep safe, but it’s amazing how they scoot. A special breed of driver, I guess. Thanks for the coast views and the view of Desolation Island. Now I want to take my kayak up there and visit it.

I grew up in Forks...now known as Twilight-ville! The 'Grey NorthWet' I call it. Up to 150 inches of rain annually!

Gentry & Sons had time at the scales with a large sailboat recently and the scale operator explained quite a bit.

I drove a 40’ long heavy wrecker up to Neah Bay to pickup a bobtail and take it back to Tacoma and I can definitely say that the road there REALLY sucks in a large truck… lots of ups and downs and tons of corners and curves!

Lived on the Coast for thirty years, always went to Bend on vacation.

I lived near Seattle 25 years ago. Can't say I'm terribly surprised to hear that the roads are still crap. Since your plates are tied to the VIN, that *should* be an easy reference to make in any sort of IT system. Having worked for the gov't, I would not be the least bit surprised to know that they screwed it up.

Great job on the video! Music was a nice addition to the views!!

I hope you had a chance to visit Cape Flattery while you were up in Neah Bay. Cape Flattery is amazingly beautiful and there is an island just off shore with a lighthouse.

Couple sweet rolling stops from the international boys! 😂😂😂 love the channel. GFYM

Would an Edison style truck solve that? I would guess the generator is optimised to its standard rpm and can regen just running?

Looking forward to the next video now Casey...keep them rolling man!

You should put that check engine light on a switch to turn it on at will, it will boost viewer engagement ;-)

There are some great places in Neah Bay to have a lunch at. Stay safe out there.

Washington is my home state.. I agree about the roads. They take the money... and leave them like that. Those bastards. lol Thanks for the video

Great Video! Was fun to do a Ride Along.

Should check other bottom bungee for your back light on dump truck

Your in my neck of the woods almost! Hiway 101 along Hood Canal is my area. You gave me a peak of the ocean!

I used to have that happen with one of my other trucks I found that cleaning out the tank helps with the regen not always coming on frequently

I 65 south out of Louisville Kentucky had big sign down by E Town exit that said Motorcycles Bump Ahead for at least 30 years

Neah Bay, that means you went by one of my favorite places in the world Sekiu WA. It is beautiful out there and the fishing is good. The Bay Cafe makes some great food, but the big truck wouldn't fit in the town, lol. And yes, are roads are terrible.

Fun fact: Aberdeen Washington is the end of highway U.S. 12. It starts here in Detroit. Top 5 longest highway in the U.S.

I have some friends in Boston. I have lived off US20 on and off for 10 years, (Corvallis, Albany, Lebanon). When we play games and chat I always joke about getting on US 20 and driving east till I see them or I hit water.

I used to drive a box truck sometimes in California and that cab would bounce so bad I bruised the ends of my fingers trying to change the radio station 😂

Great Job Casey on getting the dump truck to the owner. thanks for showing-us the snow going back home..

Great video, I always enjoy the scenery I’ll never get to see.

King county has always been rough since the 80's... you know when you leave Pierce county. And that is from a Yakima county resident..

You missed the narrow twisty roads out to Neah Bay! It's a helluva ride, some incredible views. Worth the trip. CLALLAM BAY, just like it's spelled.

Casey, Highway 20 is apparently the longest highway in America, at over 3350 miles long. It starts in Newport Oregon and ends in Boston Massachusetts. I have driven all the sections from Newport to Boise and some in Wyoming and Nebraska, but I have put driving the whole length on my bucket list. See America coast to coast on the byways instead of the freeways. Das Dutchman Essenhaus (the largest restaurant in Indiana) is along the way and looks to be one stop I will need to make.

I remember about 20 years ago a new air ride seat cost £4000, I think it was an ISRI seat but don't know for sure, I do know I went about six months on a broken seat before my boss would spend the money.

I like the way you started your video! When active duty, the lighthouses along the Oregon coast were my responsibility to maintain and keep active. Keep up the super video's... :)

We sailed out of Port Townsend to the South Pacific a couple years ago. Right where Neah Bay meets the Pacific Ocean we sailed through the gathering of hundreds of gray whales for their annual migration. We were under 38,000 pounds with no permits needed.

I liked the camera angle which combined you and the road ahead. I have never seen that before. Also, I am going to use the pool noodle trick in my RV microwave!!

With that music I thought I was watching an episode of The Partridge Family.

In Norway, and I would guess in Europe, its mandatory with electronic log books, and a card you put into the device that you get from the "DMV" With newer devices that are now mandatory on all new trucks, the device send the driver log to the control station so they can see how long you have been driving.

Quite the travelogue, Casey! What Beautiful country! 😀😁👍
