The only kind of Truck that I never got to drive when I was a truck driver was a KENWORTH. I started my career in a MACK and drove everything else on the road as an over the road driver and the last truck that I was (officially in) was a MACK. I always wanted to drive a W 900 KENWORTH which never happened but I still love them ole trucks! No matter what name is on it's side or front, once a truck driver always a truck driver!

Every time I see the shop it is amazing how clean it is and all of the cool equipment you have, those truck lifts are so cool, you guys take care of the equipment and it shows in every truck and trailer and that super cool shop thanks for the great videos I'm retired now and it keeps me up to date and entertained.

Need to change that 1 amber light on the light strip in front of the air cleaner on the drivers side of the green truck.

You have good mechanics working for you, that is a real blessing. Some smaller trucking companies do not seem to find the good mechanics. Stay safe and healthy.

I like your setup in the shop . Mechanics are happy . This reflects in quality of service . Good fundamentals. U must have air compressor outside shop .that’s great for chasing leaks if u can’t hear em ,harder to find em . Then soapy water ,bubbles ! Thanks for the walk through !

For a green truck that is one good looking w900 not a real big fan of green but I think that one would grow on me it is one sharp truck. looks very solid and clean

Seen one of yalls trucks today rolling through Quitman, ga . Awesome to one this far south. White with blue stripes W900, pulling a titan walking floor

Hello friend. Nice to meet you. I'm cheering you on for a great video. Fighting🇰🇷🙋👍

Thanks for the tour.

the hinges or things as you called them , on the back of the trailer doors are there because that trailer had those fibreglass trailer tails that pop out for supposedly better fuel economy . My company bought a whole bunch of trailers with those fibreglass tails thinking they would save a whole bunch of money on fuel but probably spent more of repairing or replacing them . now they are removing them because drivers forget to fold them in before backing up and they end up damaging them . i’ve heard those fibreglass tails are something like 5k a side

That real Dark green looks like Eureka Cartage Green to me they are an old defunct regional trucking company from west suburban Cicero Illinois they were known for their very Dark green trucks Whites Diamond Ts Hendricksons I - Hs Fords K - 100 KWs they did a variety of work a lot of flatbed work

I feel their pain working on those walking floors. It would be a good time to cut the hole bigger in the sleeper and cab on the truck you son is working on!! Now I am going out to my shop a start drilling holes in new frame rails!!

Your the OG off trucking in 2022. Should have gotten that spread axle reefer .

Justin your really a cool boss to your employees that’s why I have much love and respect for you and your company. Justin you also give your employees respect so that’s why they give you respect back just continue doing what you do. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos have a nice one and be blessed. Happy holidays to you and your family and employees.

It's easy for others to spend your money, but if you own your property there, would you eventually save money by blacktopping your yard so your fleet would not get dusty and dirty? Truck washes and man hours to clean trucks surely add up ...plus less maintenance, not filling potholes...just a thought...keep those awesome videos coming!

You have a great crew and awesome shop.

You ma you want to move to an Oil pan heater as opposed to Block Hester. By heating be the oil, heats cylinders and pistons. At -20 after 20 to 40 plus hours engine will spin over a fire like an 80 degree day.

Quick question about the emissions equipment - across the board it seems like all truckers hate the headaches that come with it and I keep wondering did none of the truck/engine manufactures field test the equipment before it was put in trucks it seems like there are a ton of problems with emissions equipment and it is quite expensive to fix. I have not seen any videos or articles from truckers about the issue and what if anything truck and engine manufacturers are doing about it to either fix problems or reduce the cost of repairs.

Hey Justin how's it going, gotta question. I know you probably answered this before but how do you get to haul 100k? Is that non highway, because here in VA we have a 5% overload sticker but can't use it on the highway. Then we have our normal permit, at least I do for hauling equipment and I'm grossed out at 125k but that's only for machines. If we wanna haul heavy we have to order a trip permit and that's only good for one way. Appreciate the content thanks..
