    Dude I can’t believe you took that load. I was in Tacoma too and actually called on that load but when they told me it was containers, I was like no way! Then I wondered what sucker would take it as it was on the load board forever, lol. Good video and great job helping those people out! I was delayed getting across Snoqualmie pass too because people had spun out and they actually closed it for several hours going eastbound.

    Something I've often thought about building on my gooseneck is a platform on the neck that is hinged at the front (build it light weight, but heavy enough you can throw your tires up there). Then put a electric lift cylinder at the rear to lift the back to create a ramp/ transition to direct air up over the containers.

    • @mrnobody8540
      @mrnobody8540 3 года назад

      There is a better way - if containers is all your doing.

I'm 58 and looking to do it for few years to continue putting $$ in social security. Kids are grown and got one more in college. Stay safe and I hope I get a chance to ask you a few questions in the near future.

    2300 miles at 6mpg. +380 gallons of dsl. $2 a gallon $760 in fuel? 40 hours drive? Pay yourself $15 hr $600. $1360. All other costs. I do wonder if anyone has looked into streamlining conex boxes? I got over 6mpg at 80k in a semi. 425 Cat. Yrs back.
    My worst in a 1 ton was 8.8mpg. Oversize, over height. Limited to 50 mph

  • @isaactrades
    @isaactrades 3 года назад +1

    You should get some led lights.. I have a 14 Laramie with the same headlights and these are 1000x better than the stock bulbs. Plug and play. They don't overheat and they put off enough heat to keep the ice and snow melted off.
    Called Auxito 9005 (HB3) Headlight LED BULB CONVERSION KIT
    They will make you love your truck more at night. I've used then for 3 years.

    • @harleyhoracio1
      @harleyhoracio1 3 года назад

      I think there’s a container shortage right now in the shipping industry which trickles down to everyone in the states looking to buy for their particular project. Not sure if that’s a real shortage or an artificial one.

    Once stopped to help a guy on 20a in New York and ended up in the ditch myself. at night kids cryin, waiting hrs for tow truck. some good Sam tried pulling me out and ended up breaking the front axle off the frame by hitting a culvert. I’d love to help ppl out but unless the cars upside down or burning I ain’t stopping no more, to unsafe and dangerous with snowy roads
    Merry Christmas brother

    • @BrandonLeech

      realistically not much you can do for a guy in that situation anyway. Everybody has a cell phone now to call for help and you don't want to be a sitting duck on a highway like that. Bad idea to be out there in those conditions in the first place.
