I remember when Rand Mc Nally came out with a Trucker Atlas. Damn I'm old. Flatbeds Forever!
Orwell is running heaps better than half the electronic trucks on the road nowadays
Hello from Norway 🇧🇻. Thank you for all your videos. It is a honor to watch them.
Hey Steve, you and Orwell are our rock stars!!!
There is a good chance that the JB Hunt tractor pulling the Meijer trailer was my son. He works out of Lansing Michigan and makes most of his runs to or through the Chicago area.
What an epic intro, Orwell waking up, a bit groggy at first lol amazing video sir.
This was a nice regular in the day of, sort. Nice trucking visuals while talking about current events and occasional periods of music. Nice. We were along for the ride. Every episode doesn't have to be full of drama and excitement.
Another great video Steve even though I had to take 2 aspirin half way thru the video.
JB Hunt back in the early 1980s he owned a railroad him along with Warren buffet these two people along with the government they set the rate for the trucking industry there was a special on the news years ago about this then a few months ago we were talking about it on mutha trucker he has a RUclips channel and the person that was on there he was talking about the same thing the reason why the rates are so low has to do with JB Hunt and Warren Buffett
Those busses were probably headed to one of the high end RV manufacturers. Prevost builds them with the slide outs installed but the rest of the interior is unfinished.
Cool old Pete! You have all the right stuff there, I know it doesn't make any more money but that truck deserves to have all the chrome stuff and to be polished out at this stage of it's life. It is a badge of honor.
The Prevost motor coach (shells) are made in Quebec. The major converters are Marathon Coach in Oregon, Liberty Coach in Chicago, Illinois, Emerald Coach in Stephenville, Texas. Not sure what the location was were Steve recorded. They could be being delivered.
Those Prevost’s are probably some music entertainer buses
I think the movie middle lane is a comfortable place to hang out. Traffic flows around you and sometimes the right lane will be forced to exit. No heartache here.
Have a nice ride steve ,stay safe,enjoy!!😊
Company’s tell there drivers “the middle lane is the safest place to be”
This is how we're going to do it Steve keep doing it Happy New Year to you nice job
Fifty years ago that is what "Jelly Belly" said but theres been a lot of water over the dam since those days. Corporate restructuring and a whole new path for that company. When l worked there l drove one of the last 9600's. They were a good company back then. No containers back then.
Steve stay safe like watching your trips out
Happy New year
So nice to see a cabover run the the trips you do
All the best to you and your family
George Whelan from the UK 🇬🇧
Cool old Pete! You have all the right stuff there, I know it doesn't make you any more money but at this stage of it's life it deserves all chrome stuff and polished out as badge of honor. 👍💰
With Tim getting Johnny Cash to start, probably has you itching to get your Ford Cabover running again too.There was a little sneak peak of it when you fired Orwell up. Having a shop that you can park your truck makes those cold mornings a little more bearable.
Run in the dark came out great.Take care.👍👍
We had a country artist come to town and his family and band members were all in 4 buses just like those. There was also 3 Rigs with them
Actually ran with those 3 same coaches on 94 east towards Ann Arbor before Christmas. They are Hemphill bros from my old neck of the woods.
Or Senators coaches from Alabama.
Brooks & Dunn had 8 of those coaches + Tractor Trailers
Steve the right-of-way rules just don't apply to everyone. Have a safe trip and a good year.
Those buses at the fuel island is kinda like standing at a urinal, not a good time to ask question! LOL! Stay safe.
As far as your storage problem, Steve, you can get a hold of a portable SSD raid external drive that has 2 SSDs in it and set up a RAID 1 so that any file you write to it, it one drive fails, you have a backup. I would go for about 4 to 8 TB in size, so you can edit off of it. Just an idea.
Lol yeah in the 90's JB said the same thing about car haulers. All they did was cut the rate give crappie service and walked away.
JB took over hauling the loaded shipping containers from Anderson Hay to haul to the ports but that didn’t last a year and Anderson Hay took it back.
@@jasonbabila6006 I remember JB got the contract to deliver corvettes out of Bowling Green but he didn’t buy specialized trailers for them. using regular dry van the cars would bottom out every time the driver would unload one & the trailer didn’t have dedicated tye downs in the floor. so if the wooden blocks came loose the car could slide around in the trailer. this part I’m not sure about but I heard a lot of times they would end up using what ever JB hunt trailer was available.
They hire anyone who applies like most megas... Corner cutting? You don't say?
Steve, could be Trans Siberian Orchestra, they played Milwaukee on Dec. 27th. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
No those companies with governed trucks tell them to stay in the center lane. That way they have less chance of hitting someone on the on and off ramps. They don’t teach courtesy.
Even before I worked for a mega, I always stayed in the right lane. There's just a lot of oblivious people on the road these days.
@@KnightremAnd not all of them are in 4- wheelers.
When I worked at JB Hunt, I stayed in the right lane a majority of the time. Sucked going over 100 in my regular vehicle to 65-67 for almost 14 hours
I'm glad you got the old chapel form the TA East of Seattle. Glad it didn't end up in junkyard, hope you are able to something cool with it.👍
Those Prevost buses could possibly be for luxury RV bus conversion.
People buying RVs cuz they can't afford to buy houses.
From what I see on RUclips JB Hunt run brokerages using the same owner drivers to pull freight for their customers but at lower rates.
Wrecker drivers got wealthy when they put several thousand rookie steering wheel holders on the road. Heard story of one who fell out of truck going down the highway trying to close his door below the sleeper.
That happened on I-71 about 30 miles north of Cincinnati. It was in either 2007 or '08. I used to run a dedicated route from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh and I actually saw the driver's legs sticking out from under his overturned trailer. I went past right before the state police got there, and there was only one local cop making everyone merge into the left lane. The truck was about 10 or 15 feet from the shoulder and laying on it's left side in the dirt. There was another truck parked on the shoulder about 100 feet north of the cop, and that guy was the one who told the dead driver about his storage door being open. What kind of total idiot tries standing on the running board of his truck while it's moving, to try and kick the door shut?
your getting pretty good at editing steve,mick from the uk
Happy new year Steve hope you have a good year
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Night time run are just as interesting as daytime runs one benefit of night red and blue lights eliminate better from other roadways. Just been hired unfortunately not trained.
Take care be safe have a great safe blessed week 🙏
Good evening brother
James Taylor came to New Brunswick, Canada with seven Provost buses and several transports.
Very good Video 👍 👍
The busses very well could have been taxis for a corporate party or something along those lines. The company I used to work for would throw a big party for the holidays in December. The sort of thing where you bring the wife for a night away, get a really nice dinner with an open bar kind of thing. They'd get you a 4-star hotel room for the night and hire a couple busses like that to taxi us back and forth from the venue and the hotel. They'd even give you half a day off paid to go get cleaned up and get to the hotel. On the flip side if you didn't go you didn't get any time off and missed out on everything. Sucked for me since I hate being around drunk people, I always ended up working overtime to cover for anyone that went.
Your laptop problem doesn't sound like a motherboard/cpu problem, it sounds like a damaged hard drive. The fact that a factory reset on the laptop cleared up the problem tells me there were damaged spots on the drive and when you did the reset it found and closed off the damaged areas. Either way the easiest solution is just to replace the laptop.
What happened to JB Hunt seems to be they decided to focus on brokering. Instead of skimming off the top of their own freight it's far more profitable to skim off of everyone else's. I'd go through their brokerage all the time but it would always be an independent showing up to haul the cargo. At least they hire proper trucks with the decency to not show up to a dedicated load with their trailer half full. Had to stop using Panther II over that.
Good job bro steve
you all stay safefrom the big winter storm
Yeah. 3 whole inches...
The busses could've been almost anything or anyone.
The right lane is the new passing lane because it seems like these "training companies" train these idiots to stay in the middle lane, and none of them is smart enough to realize that it's okay to be in the right lane if they aren't passing 😢
Problem is the right lane is dangerous now. No one knows how to merge properly
@@nomadih2252 I understand what you're saying, but even when there's no on or off ramps, these "steering wheel holders" will just stay in the middle lanes
@@chuckyf-u2395Idiots pulling big 5th wheel campers do the same thing, and are usually running 5 to 10 MPH under the speed limit holding everyone else up.
Don’t get me started on 4 wheelers that are too ‘pussified’ to accelerate proficiently from the entrance ramps in the far right lanes. Doesn’t make any sense to have to slow down a 40 ton truck every mile or two going through a shitty metro area (like St. Louis) when the extra wear and tear on your brakes is prevented, your load doesn’t shift, plus your time on the clock saved by keeping your momentum going in the center lane. Another thing, Not every “steering wheel holder” from a legitimately good trucking company has an ‘Auto Restrict’ on their license, It was the motor carrier’s decision to have Autos over manuals, because fleet insurance companies charge more for manual equipped trucks, including higher rates if the truck is not governed at 65 mph (speed limiters are garbage in my opinion). Never ever let your guard down going through St. Louis on I-270, I-70, I-44, and I-64 during the commuting hours of 4:30 am to 10:00 PM. You always have to plan ahead to stay on or exit on the correct interchanges you have to go through to get going to your destination safely and efficiently. Sure, go ahead and haggle in disagreement, because one wrong decision can put you and/or someone else 6 feet under.
Steve, have you ever given any thoughts of putting a couple of lights on the back of the cab to help you see better when it's dark.
Next time you come EAST Steve, let me know. I would enjoy meeting you.
good job cool video
Thank you Prime for letting me over 😜👍 Martin gggrrr we are not Prime 😂😅😊🎉🎉🎉
thats truckin...
hey Steve, I heard U saying to Chad that U R thinking of buying property in TN. Well, I read 2 months ago, that there is a racket against the Truckers there, some Towing co along with some Truck stations, they put lock boots on the trucks n it takes like 12k$ to retrieve back! Not my choice.
The problem is that the driving schools tell them it's safer to drive in the middle lane
They don’t keep to the right because they are not real truckers it ain’t like the days glad Im retired 😢
orwell wants the back wheel painted
I been thinking that for awhile spray them black
JB Hunt the Swift of the 70s😂😅😊🎉🎉🎉
They were definitely tour 🚌
Hey Steve, just was wondering: What was the music you played in the video? That's the kind of music I like listening to, in terms of instrumentals, like Two Steps From Hell.
Those are senators coaches out of Alabama. Most likely a tour band package. Two bands and a crew bus, or something similar.
There was a time when seeing t railers shipped piggyback upset me. Watch them trains go by now and thank got all them JB's, Scneider's, England's, etc are not on the roads clogging up traffic and parking places.
I see entire unit JB Hunt intermodel trains over BNSF who recently inked a deal called Quantum where JB Hunt was going to be a majority partner in it and so this service is mostly over BNSF transcon between LA and Chicago from what I've seen and to think when I was growing up, every other truck on the road was JB Hunt and their international cabovers which were like flies down here in Southeast Texas.
Lol, like flies looking for shit to land on.
One motor coach for the lead singers . 2 for the backup band if they have one 3 for the setup crew road ies publicist etc ... As a former motorcoach driver I miss driving million dollar motor coaches but I'm after my CDL a so I moved on
Yep, it takes a lot of crew for some of those shows. Drum tech, guitar tech, lighting director, A1 audio engineer, A2 audio engineer, systems engineer, video playback, tour manager, production manager… it adds up really quickly, and that’s a modest group. The biggest pop stars would be many many more all traveling with them.
what instrument do you play ?? just like the guys who drive the transporters for NASCAR I heard the entertainers want a driver who can do more than drive ?? if need be a driver can fill in playing a instrument if a regular band member can’t go on stage. & the NASCAR transporters want a driver who can work on the car in a pinch if need be.
when I was driving a truck I thought about applying for the coach company that was in Nashville ( not sure if they are still in business) but I can’t play music & sing & definitely never had professional mechanic schooling to work on race cars
I ran across Randy Travis’s equipment 1 time. it was 1 bus for the roadies & 2 semi trucks for the stage equipment. I know it was Randy Travis because he had his picture down the side of each semi trailer. I know it wasn’t Randy Travis himself because he was big enough to fly between shows. I know Reba had a whole fleet of bus & trucks to move her show around but she also always flew between shows to have home time during her tours
I had pictures of Randy’s pictures on the trailer but over the years I lost them sadly
It was "No Show Jones" George rode Silver Eagles when his career was in high gear.
Could be new ones being delivered to a dealer across the country.
Not everyone is blessed with your mentality. Be safe👍
Plain white, might just be transporting to a dealership?
Prevost busses can be motorhomes or chartered rentals. They seat 56 per bus. They may have been returning from somewhere . . .
Like Steve said I greatly doubt they were set up as a tourist coach. they didn’t have windows in the middle. groups or organizations that charter trips want every member to be able to look outside during the trip & that’s not possible in that type of coach
I don't know about anything else but JB is hauling logs down here in Louisiana
I first started my truck career with JB in the mid ‘90s. They were hell bent for bankruptcy then. They fired the top tier. They went to another top company and drove them into bankruptcy. JB straightened up. Last I heard they had well over 50%of the freight nationwide tied up, either brokerage or with their fleet. They have so many trucks on the road, the profit margin is low. Anyway you look at it they are too big.
There is a reason why antitrust laws are in place. Is to make sure companies cannot get too big. Doesn't benefit the nation as a whole when critical systems are controlled by one of two companies 😮😮😢
Yeah, like the banks, “too big to fail”, so much for laws that are in place already!
@@carlbernard4197 and yet it like 5 or 6 companies that own most of all the non durable consumer goods - food /drink brands .. some goes for almost any industry it a hand full of companies that own the individual brand name companies
They're pretty garbage now my dude. 9/10 of my drivers can't or won't back the truck up to the dock because "I don't want to hit something and lose my license." I'm talking full on blocking the exit to the parking lot, parking in front of handicapped areas or even next to the curb by the post office on the other side of the street. Two weeks ago I had a guy park in the street in the pouring ass rain and roll pallets off the liftgate to the dock because he was too afraid to back in.
Older experienced drivers like Steve I have absolutely no problem with. They get the truck exactly where I need it, unload with no problems and get right back out without hitting a damn thing. I get along great with all the older dudes but all the younger drivers seem to have a chip on their shoulder and a rockstar attitude.
I know it's not easy driving a truck but goddamn man you went to school and got a CDL.
@@carlbernard4197 well don't rule out tranfreight TFI as its called they are buying up us trucking companys all the time so they are huge too they just sealed the deal on that big flat bed outfit in texas
question for could you use some back up light for your ruck so u can see better at night when u have to back up or load at night ???
Those RV's could have been leased for corporate events. Possibly they where going to be renovated for costumer's personal design. Maybe being delivered to 3 different costumer's or dealer's (used or like new). Tour's for band's will have 2-3 buses or RV's each for different use, 1 for the band, 1 for the producer/corporate and one for the stage crew (some tour's don't use buses or will only have 1 for the crew). The band bus will have a entertainment room in the front and 4-5 large sleeping room's. The producer's bus will have a couple rooms for business use and 1 or 2 rooms for sleeping. The crew bus will have 9-15 bunk's (floor to ceiling) and a couple entertainment room's, of course all will have several bathroom's and kitchenettes.
Steve they are getting closer. Going to move more freight on rail and higher cheap labor over the border. Look at how big swift is now. You know most van drivers don't make squat.
You need a 2 TB SSD in your computer
Though it’s after New Year’s Day happy and safe to you Steve to you your sons and Jen say healthy brother 😊
I am about 95% sure those were tso if filmed b4 Christmas
One of those Prevost coaches is mine. Yah, that's the ticket. All 3 are mine. Yah, all 3.
Say Pray VO
Hi Steve who films your truck coming out of the shop. Do you have camera already set up.
The Prevost were just private coach's. We full time 5 years, not in anything that was fancy but many full timers do the bus .
Could be delivering those Prevost to a customer.
I drive a tour bus. One for the roadies one for the band and one for the entertainer!
i think intermodal jb is strong in
My computer is much older, I am working with windows 7 and the computer is from about 2011. Still works fine.
more big time than me? omg your done!!
They haul feed and now livestock in Nebraska.
The bus's could of been a corporate gig OR could of been an entertainer having one bus to themselves while the others carried band members etc. The bus's that carry band members are set up with 6-8 bunks towards the rear with a lounge in the very back of the bus.
Hey there
Enjoy your channel,
Would it be nice to have a remote on that roll up
Just had an odd thought after Steve made like the forth right lane pass. Maybe some brain thinks not changing lanes saves time and energy? Just a crazy thought early in the morning
What speed do you normally run at? What’s that old Cat’s sweet spot for road speed and rpm?
Those are custom buses and they belong to a singer or someone famous. I use t clean them for the people. I did Willie Nelson's bus and the old American Bandstand buses as well. That was some night to see them all.
Brand new machine and Orwell gets the garage😂
Happy January 9 driver
Can’t say about other companies, but back in the late 90’s had a buddy that was a trainer at England, not an OTR driver, worked at the terminal in SLC, he to,d me they taught new drivers to be the pebble in the stream, meaning let traffic flow around you, this just might be what you are seeing why some drivers just sit there in the middle of the
Why don't you get a Prevost or a Van Hool to replace the motorhome you got rid of?
If memory serves me, didn't swift make the same claim?
Nelly concert in Chicago played right after Christmas and was at the horse shoe casino Hammond in.. definitely what my guess is I saw him live and his other partners would be in the other busses , yup I saw him after Christmas and before new years,
Movie stars 🌟
I was breaking 4.00 a mile before covid, 7.00 during, and now just 3.00. I don't believe spot market o/o and micros control the averages on load boards
The vehicles could have been going to a dealership?.
