Big old Detroit Diesel letting loose, love it! The Bridge/Tunnel, they have that tunnel there so that those Big ships can get in and out, if noticed in the videos before he enters the tunnel, there is not enough height for tall ships
It’s nice to be able to be working along side a guy that knows what he’s doing. Makes everything so much easier and less stressful. Good to see you back out there FSC pounding the boulevard. Looks good with the straight cut stacks and the height is perfect. Orwell must be fun to drive. As usual another great video. Say hi to Maggie and Dave for me. Have yourself a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring…
Boy, Steve, I’m loving the new stacks. Love seeing the black smoke again, coming out of the stacks. You and Maggie did a really great job on them. Orwell really looks good now.
Hellio ,,,Steve & Orwell welcome my home state of Virginia. Man That truck looks pretty rolling all that coal.................. Yes you are right about the the bridge over the Chesapeake Bay in which we mostly call it the the bridge that separate the Atlantic Ocean from the Bay. When ever you are going under into the Tunnel you are under water so that all kinds of ships and Submarins can enter the Bay to be repaired or in land from really bad weather out near the Atlantic Ocean. We as Subscribers of your Channel welcomes you & Orwell. Steve i'm one of your 59 years young Sub that has been bugging you to change that tamden axle tire on Orwell for years now but i guess that if it's not flat why fix it.... Stay Safe & Blessed my friend. TWO THUMBS UP AS ALWAYS.............. Shout out to the (ret) Trucker from the Va. '''' BONECRUSHER "" PEACE !!!
So when you first get on the bridge you can see newport news ship building to far left(where all US carriers are built,and several subs) and to right is naval station norfolk with 4 carrier battle groups. Thats why some bridges are tunnels. They cant block the channel with a bridge and leave war ships stuck in port. Keep up the good work.
I medically retired from trucking in ‘07, started piloting o/d loads in ‘08. Retired from that in late ‘21. Was taught shifting old school style in 1977. Still love the sounds of truckers that know their shitt. It’s music to my soul.
Orwell is a cool Truck now Steve, you should be so proud driving your cabover, to me it brings back somany memories, thank you for your brilliant channels Steve, keep those wheels turning & showing off Orwell which your truck rite fully deserves. Especially those cool pipes makes Orwell sound sweet as you say my friend.
Great video Steve. The wrecker driver obviously knows what he's doing, backed the Oshkosh straight on in one go!👍 Orwell looks awesome with the new stacks and I know you don't like comments about the rear wheels appearance but, how much better would he look with just some paint on the wheels. Sorry but I just had to say it.🙄 Keep safe in your travels.
They say that at low tide some of the ships going over the CBBT have only 4' to 5' of clearance. If you look at the boxes built in to the walls many are collapsing. Always liked the water trickling into the tunnels, too. Sure miss the old Seagull Pier restaurant, but can still hit Stingrays, The Great Machipongo Clam Shack', Exmore Diner, Capts Deck, etc. along 13. Have you considered getting a winch and incorporating a multi-point quick install/release system at multiple locations.
Steve, l know you have your reasons but it seems almost criminal to cover up that beautiful Caterpillar music. 😄❤️⭐⭐⭐Yeah, l went up 64 through WVA. Old csbover was a gruntin. l was slingin' Go Pros everywhere😄
Steve, those ships you pointed at, are at Norfolk Naval Station. They are all active ships. You cannot see the USS Wisconsin from the MMBT, as she’s in downtown Norfolk, much farther to the right.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Nice having a Wrecker driver that know how to place that truck without a doubt on your trailer stay safe Steve.
Brilliant view of the new stacks and Orwell from the trailer, you can just make out the engine pulses 👍👌. Great video and photography Steve, nice job. Thanks for sharing.
The tunnel issue also is a clearance issue. Most US carriers need 250', to keep to the maximum grades for the roads, the distance needed to get the height exceeds the length of the bridge.
Damn I recognise that area, VA rt 164 been on it many times and the Monitor-Merrimac Bridge-Tunnel. USN has had that policy in effect for years. You are coming up toward where I used to work, Newport News Shipbuilding. You went real close to my old house in Newport News on I-664.
Orwell looks and sounds so great!!!!! Hey you had the new cam view of under the cab, I think a great view would be front and center down at bumper height the lower the better!!!!! Keep on Trucking rubber side down and keep Big Jake a GGGrrrrroooowwwlllllin the new stacks make your Orwell One SEXY Semi!!!!!!!
Those stacks and the sound they produce is badass, and of course, rolling coal! Orwell definitely has more get up and go, since you put them on! It's cool to see a truck of this age running strong! Awesome job Steve, Maggie, and the gentleman that works with y'all (can't remember his name, sorry)
Orwell sounds so much happier now with those new Stacks and he’s blown more coal…… I’ve seen that Glen Allen tow truck in another video, but can’t remember which one
Man--I now where this video took place. I live right outside Richmond, Va. You spent the nite before down @ Love's on I64 east at Talleysville. That auction sight is Motley's Auction yard in southside, off Bells rd/I95. Even know the towing company-I used to be in that buisiness years ago, until I sold my share out--still have friends in the business. Good video.
remember when truck stops like Jarvis had those units you could pull under, and pull into your window, had AC or heat, shore power, a connection to the restaurant, etc..think it was like ten bucks a night
Used to that too, grab our trucks that broke and take them home to Des Moines, IA. Worked on the “Specialized” fleet of the Black and Shiny a few years back,,,,
Love the videos man! Been watching you for a little while now and I’ve always been curious….would you do a video of “after the trip”? Like go over how much you got paid, how much you ended up spending, any problems occur with Orwell, etc. almost like an after action report
I went from a 2020 volvo 70" sleeper to a 2023 f350 hotshot backseat. Lmao. Between us you have the condo. Lol I bet you never thought you'd be in a conversation where you had the bigger sleeper 🤣 🤣 🤣
Watching Orwell burn coal from the new stacks, Orwell must be breathing easier, from when you ran with only a single stack. Do you notice the difference?
When I first saw all the wheels on the crane truck, I originally thought it might be a Michigan truck which ended up in Virginia that's now going close to home assuming it's from there though I didn't know Oshkosh was even in the trucking industry because that thing has a strange cab design.
Its cheaper to build a low bridge, than it is to build a tunnel. but it is cheaper to build a tunnel, than to build a high bridge, where big vessels can pass under. at least thats my theory, costs may vary in different enverinments...
If that was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel you crossed , I crossed it in a bus at night in fog in 1965 and was scary as was two way back then. Bus driver pulled out to pass and he could not see that far ahead and barely completed the pass before pulling back in lane befroe another vehicle came at us ! I was busing home to Boston from D & S piers in Norfolk. How come you always nail the docking of the pin to the rest of the trailer. Never have to move it left or right. Is it like get it close and it centers itself. Also what is the actual mechanical connection. All I see are those 2 big metal things drropped with a u shapped keeper. Great tug test ! You shoulda a called the new owner and tole em you had room for a pick up on top a the 14 wheeler !
"That's What She Said!" 😮🤣 Good comeback too
Hi Steve that wrecker driver knew what he was doing great to see professionals at work like yourself keep on trucking safe
That wrecker driver did a great job! Love the camera views while driving too. Git er done!
Big old Detroit Diesel letting loose, love it! The Bridge/Tunnel, they have that tunnel there so that those Big ships can get in and out, if noticed in the videos before he enters the tunnel, there is not enough height for tall ships
Now Orwell is the most recognised cabover. She looks awesome.
Definitely awesome, almost wish I could drive the other yellow one he has haha
Orwell is a he
Love the sound of the new pipes
Fits like a glove. Good think it had a left axle in back.
It’s nice to be able to be working along side a guy that knows what he’s doing. Makes everything so much easier and less stressful. Good to see you back out there FSC pounding the boulevard.

Great job showing and telling with ORWELL Steve, be safe see ya next time see ya bye.
Boy, Steve, I’m loving the new stacks. Love seeing the black smoke again, coming out of the stacks. You and Maggie did a really great job on them. Orwell really looks good now.
I would have liked the bull design, but I'm with you, these stacks suit what Orwell is and the kind of work she does.
Steve, first time I heard Orwell empty pulling a trailer since you changed the stacks.... SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!
Wow it’s great to see Orwell with both stacks again. Sounds great too.
Orwell looks great and sounds awesome old school rules Steve👍💪👍💪👍💪
Going through that tunnel looked Awesome!
Orwell sounds Awesome👍👍👍👍
Awesome footage of Orwell hitting the Jakes in that tunnel keep on truck'n
3:09 I remember the days when other drivers flashed you over, I would bet the driver is a trucker themselves.
Another great showing Steve, Orwell looks great

Lovin the looks of that rollin coal coming out of those straight stacks Steve
OMG..... the new stacks are the bomb. Looks great and sounds great. Way to go.
Hay Steve good to see you and that old truck looking awesome as always love them new stack's
Truck sounds real good with the new stacks
So when you first get on the bridge you can see newport news ship building to far left(where all US carriers are built,and several subs) and to right is naval station norfolk with 4 carrier battle groups.

Keep up the good work.
Spectacular view of the stacks in the tunnel Steve! Totally AWESOME!
i gotta hand to ya steve. you turned that 362 into a nice cozy cruiser.
I medically retired from trucking in ‘07, started piloting o/d loads in ‘08. Retired from that in late ‘21. Was taught shifting old school style in 1977. Still love the sounds of truckers that know their shitt. It’s music to my soul.
Orwell sounds amazing with those stacks
You need an 8-track player.
It must be a project to keep fresh air in that tunnel.
Well said. No risk no reward 👍. I'm a driver for 26 years
Lived a good part of my life at Va. Bch. Thanks for a nice Prowl through my old haunts.
Steve those stacks are badass
Man, I Have Been Loving This Videos! Always Look Forward To Your Uploads & Glad To See Orwell Workin Well.
Orwell would look great with twin trucker CB antennas on the mirrors. old style . you have a great truck Steve and you seam a great guy
Good evening brother hope your having a great safe blessed week 🙏
I love the way you handle Orwell overload and loading her
Hi Steve the stacks on Orwell look absolutely sick from behind I it looks even better when coal comes out of the stacks
Orwell is a cool Truck now Steve, you should be so proud driving your cabover, to me it brings back somany memories, thank you for your brilliant channels Steve, keep those wheels turning & showing off Orwell which your truck rite fully deserves. Especially those cool pipes makes Orwell sound sweet as you say my friend.
Good team. Helping each other. Experience will teach you the hard way...yup.
I been thru that tunnel in VA when I used to live in Newark Delaware while I was driving for pfg out of Elkton md
Keep bringing the awesome videos and be safe out there
Great video Steve. The wrecker driver obviously knows what he's doing, backed the Oshkosh straight on in one go!👍

This bad girl, oh Lord ? LOL🥸

Great video and photography Steve, nice job.
Thanks for sharing.
The Chesapeake bay bridge-tunnel is one of my favorites
Like the look from the rear looks like a transformer love the coal
Makes the Job go well when the write people are operating the equipment. GOOD 👍 JOB MEN.
Alright one of my favorite channels keep it up brother
The tunnel issue also is a clearance issue. Most US carriers need 250', to keep to the maximum grades for the roads, the distance needed to get the height exceeds the length of the bridge.
Orwell looking gd with them new stacks
Praying for good weather in your travels. I know this video is last week's but this Friday is going to be another Snowmageddon here in WI.

That extended boom was flexing.
What that old beast weigh
Those stacks are bringin the music at 1:30
Rollin some coal out of those nice new stacks! 👍👍
I like your truck nice cool looking stack pipes

Love your trucking live,goodluck have a good day.greetings from indonesia.
I thought I recognized the road you were on. Traveled that way many times.
remember when truck stops like Jarvis had those units you could pull under, and pull into your window, had AC or heat, shore power, a connection to the restaurant, etc..think it was like ten bucks a night
amazing backup skills!
Used to that too, grab our trucks that broke and take them home to Des Moines, IA. Worked on the “Specialized” fleet of the Black and Shiny a few years back,,,,
Love listening to Orwell and new stacks
I always flash trucks over, my dad taught me to do that, I will teach both my daughters to do so as well
Hey it's my truck. I didn't know you was a big RUclipsr. 💪💪💪💪
I'm from Richmond FeeShak. Those stacks look good on Orwell
Love the videos man! Been watching you for a little while now and I’ve always been curious….would you do a video of “after the trip”? Like go over how much you got paid, how much you ended up spending, any problems occur with Orwell, etc. almost like an after action report
The wrecker driver knew how to back. Nice looking load even if it's an ugly load.
I stop at that loves when I do my Newport News Virginia run!
I went from a 2020 volvo 70" sleeper to a 2023 f350 hotshot backseat. Lmao. Between us you have the condo. Lol I bet you never thought you'd be in a conversation where you had the bigger sleeper 🤣 🤣 🤣

Nice gentry and sons shirt there,Steve.
When I first saw all the wheels on the crane truck, I originally thought it might be a Michigan truck which ended up in Virginia that's now going close to home assuming it's from there though I didn't know Oshkosh was even in the trucking industry because that thing has a strange cab design.
Do you haul this kind of stuff for Housby?
Glad to see smoke outa both stacks bud
Its cheaper to build a low bridge, than it is to build a tunnel. but it is cheaper to build a tunnel, than to build a high bridge, where big vessels can pass under. at least thats my theory, costs may vary in different enverinments...
I’m sure that it would sound better in person but still good
Great video Steve
Would you consider putting flappers on the new pipes??
No. The "tink tink tink" would drive me crazy..
Good stuff
Your tunnel theory is good, you would need a tall bridge for carriers and today's carriers are even taller, working with the tide is a easier answer
Especially the new Fords, the island on those carriers are really, really tall!
There was a great seafood restaurant just on the right side of the east bound side of that bridge-tunnel
If that was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel you crossed , I crossed it in a bus at night in fog in 1965 and was scary as was two way back then. Bus driver pulled out to pass and he could not see that far ahead and barely completed the pass before pulling back in lane befroe another vehicle came at us ! I was busing home to Boston from D & S piers in Norfolk.
How come you always nail the docking of the pin to the rest of the trailer. Never have to move it left or right. Is it like get it close and it centers itself. Also what is the actual mechanical connection. All I see are those 2 big metal things drropped with a u shapped keeper.
Great tug test !
You shoulda a called the new owner and tole em you had room for a pick up on top a the 14 wheeler !
Saludos desde luquillo puerto rico
Darn...talk about an oversized load! A quad-axle Oshkosh offroad truck, no less. Take care bringing that truck to its destination.
That's not oversized. If it was, he would be flagged, placarded and strobes a-blinkin.
I haven't been to Virginia since my Navy days 88-92
How does your GPS know there's a truck on the shoulder ahead? Or some debris in the road?
He uses Google Maps along with Waze. Waze allows users to mark things like obstructions, police speed traps and debris for everyone going by.
Waze app
I hauled many of loads out of Yorktown there
That's awesome
STEVE HELLO THAT ‘OSH KOCH’ TRUCK,,is it going to the manufacturer ,for parts,or rebuild ?,, Stay well,take care,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So how much did you tweak on the pump have noticed door Wells smoking a little more regularly
A couple of inches . That is now a home wrecker.
