Glad we could help you out. That was a good truck for us. Ken here with DeLong Heavy Haul. Dispatcher for 23 years now. That truck was never mistreated, off the road, under a heavy load.... lol. We do have a good shop and take care of our equipment. You can keep that white stuff, and the soft ground up there. Good luck to ya. Be safe.
from a fan of Casey great thing you did it really is the little things that make a huge difference. that dirty dealer needs to be taught a lesson salesmen are snakes
I can’t believe you bought that crap instead of buying one from Edison motors! Even Elon Musk is driving a truck from Edison motors ! Donald Trump’s new presidential beast is an Edison motors truck! Even Matt (a better tow truck driver than you) from Matt’s off-road is using an Edison motors truck to do recoveries! Haven’t you heard? Get with the program already ! An Edison motors truck is going to take astronauts to the moon and beyond to Mars ! That’s just how bad ass Edison motors trucks are !! Geez!

Lesson to ANYone who wants to buy from any dealer, retailer, or wholesaler: Get the details in writing before signing on the dotted line, and make sure those details are clear and included as a condition of the sale. Be-you-tee-full rig! I looked up the Detroit DD16. Wow, what a beast! 15.6L turbo-diesel 6-cylinder. I even watched one of their videos (ok, more than one . . .) and saw an engine being assembled. I hope this helps your company do what you want it to do. Thanks for sharing!
I still think he should have introduced them to the pitfalls of social media so others don't have get screwed over by them. No excuses. The dealer flat lied and can't be trusted.
Also, because it’s a small world, the guys from DeLong who went to the dealer to help Casey, are the same guys the dealer pleads with, to see come back with another truck for that dealer to buy/sell…. Take notes kids
I agree! Enough of the people in the industry on the West Coast know who they are & that's all that matters. And to be honest, I bet that there is only one Western Star dealer in Las Vegas anyway.
Wow, Casey! I enjoyed the teasers on the new truck and the ’reveal’ even more! The Beast looks fantastic and is an incredibly capable truck! Congrats on finding it and big thanks to Delong for the support!
I saw that bright red beast going north on Hwy 97 this morning, going thru Klamath Falls today ( 1-8-25) a little after 8:00 am. That truck is an attention getter. Good looking trk.
Very nice set up .I drive a 1998 Mack Superliner all mechanical with 675 hp cat with a 11.5 JC all steerable axle float here in Ontario Canada hauling scrapers,mining machines across Ontario/Quebec .Also Have 2008 Pete long nose with the same set up .Cheers from Canada
I noticed how clean the undercarriage is, a place most nobody ever sees is SUPER clean. The previous owners really know how to take care of their equipment. 👍👍 As the line from Christmas vacation goes, "She's a beaut Clark" Nice find Casey. 😊
*VERY COOL* that Casey is doing so well with his business he is going to hire a driver to keep one one of his trucks producing, while he runs another as he always has. *WELL DESERVED SUCCESS!!!*
@@CS-hv8rq Mrs LaDelle is handling the office work. If I recall correctly her name is Carina and has a background in accounting. That bus rolling thing was just having fun, I think. That was just my impression from that video.
I had a similar issue with a dealer after the payment was sent...I told my bank to stop payment on the check, they did!The dealer changed course REAL quick. The one thing they want is money, take it away and you regain the upper hand 😊
Very Happy for you, can’t wait to see your videos of the adventures of the Beast! Kudos to DeLong Heavy Haul for helping you out!! Just for the picture…. load the White Western Star with the ZachLift on the Red Trailer hooked to the beast!!!
I wonder sometimes why outfits trade in a vehicle when they could sell it themselves for the trade in value or even more ? The dealer obviously made thousands on it. Cut out the middle man and get a few more $$.
Dang what a beautiful truck! The white one is as well but that fella is huge! Also Congratulations Casey. You deserve all good thst comes your way! I’ve been here since day one and it didn’t take long to figure out how amazing of a person you are abs how much knowledge you have!
Beautiful truck, I used to drive one just like it for about 5 years. Mine had 4 way lockers, 18 spd. an a ISX 15L Cummins, Good solid HD chassis, never any issues. Sorry to hear about the dealer's shortcomings, but nice to see the trucking community come together to help you out. Best of luck and hoping to see you make some solid revenue with the new addition to the fleet. Have a safe and healthy New Year!
I was scrolling through the comments before I made a comment as it was the very one you mentioned, the unfortunate lack of 4 way lockers or so I assume as his rear axle was open as it spun along so not sure if it has a three way locker as often trucks have the single side to side locker on the rear ( at least Petes ) . Not sure of down there but here in Alberta for years now often the typical heavy haul truck is a tridrive for both weight carry and traction.
Casey I thought of you and your new rig today when I saw 6 CHP trucks escorting one of the biggest oversized loads in Concord CA at noon. The trailer was double wide guessing 30 tires. Some kind of big steel industrial part for a refinery possibly. Obviously really heavy. The tractor had a high hood and I knew what I was looking at thanks to you explaining it👍. The trailer literally looked like two side by side by side super heavy haul trailers the truck straddled the fast lane and second lane blocking 3 lanes of the highway. He had two CHP trucks on at each rear corner a 3rd trailing behind, two more at the front two corners of the trailer and another leading up front
One sick looking truck, I love it too. When I was a young person, been retired for 10 years now, I thought I wanted to be a long-haul driver. That never happened, I ended up working in a shop for 40 years. That's a sharp looking truck Casey, I hope it gives you many years of good service.
Congratulations Casey. I would think that any good van conversion company could put a window in the sleeper and make it look factory. Also consider replacing one of the tool boxes with a Green APU for your comfort and limit the idle time on that Detroit.
Gorgeous truck Casey, at least the other company was willing to help you out because dealers suck and if you get another guy after you get a trailer that would be awesome for you guys
WOW!! That's an amazing addition to your fleet!! Excited to see it in action. Congratulations Casey!! Also anxious to see if you get another driver to handle the super heavy haul stuff. Maybe you could get Grumpy to drive for you?! LOL!!
2:31 USA, the place with huge sprawling parking lots and wide open spaces where a single sold truck cant sit on a dealer lot over christmas... Glad your area doesnt have alot of pedestrians or cyclist, I doubt you could even see an SUV when its parked in front of that hood :) Always nice being able to buy something used thats exacly specced for the job and the result of long experience.
Bad ass RIG!!! I’ve worked on lots of those here in the Alberta Oilfield. Just watch your X-members. Probably won’t have an issue if you aren’t bouncing down the road with 160K lbs
That’s awesome Casey you got a great truck there. All the best of luck with you in the future. I hope everything goes well. Enjoy the videos. Keep up the great work.
Good thing you painted your trailer red to match before you got the new truck. Looks great paired with that trailer. Those tires are a victim of our dry hot Vegas summer weather. I live in Vegas and we go through tires out here for sure.
I drove for Freightliner/Western Star/DTNA Test Fleet in Portland from 1989-2023, delivering parts and supplies for the factory and engineering. I'm sure there are many parts on both of your Stars that I handled. Great trucks you have there. Enjoy the ride!
A TII Scheuerle, a Faymonville or Goldhofer with 3 or 4 steer axles would be a nice fit... or even more, if you want to go really heavy. Im guessing you'd need a jeep to stay compliant with bridge laws, in stead of the sliding lift/steer axles used in Europe. Pendulum axles would be extremely nice. No more highsiding on train crossings, and superior maneuverability.
Here in Spain today is what is called "Kings Day" (similar to Santa Claus, where the "Three Wise Men" bring gifts to children) and just like many children here today who show their new toys to their friends, our friend Casey appears showing us his new toy with the same excitement as the children, so even though it was a coincidence, it seemed like a very appropriate date to show us the new member of your fleet of vehicles :). I sincerely hope that things go as you expect, and that you have a year without setbacks.
You already know what setbacks are coming to those of us that have to live in America for the next 2-4 years. I didn't vote for the convict, but we all will suffer in some form or another.
Congrats on the new Beast, Casey! What a beautiful and very capable truck! I wasn't surprised though when you said that now you need a more capable trailer, LOL!!! One new purchase always seems to lead to another 🙂
"I didn't even know we HAD mud out here" You really do have the best content. Awesome truck (says someone who never drove something bigger than a lifted '04 wj) Excited to see what 2025 has in store for you. Best of luck!
8:49 EVERYTHING happens for a reason, you bees running heavy stuff, ya gots to properly prep your yard. Eh! Love how you resolved that sinking feeling. Love how you moved the whole rig forward by swinging your wheels side to side reducing resistance, it also pivoted the drive wheels.
Pretty sure the same thing happens on the east coast, we have a neighbor to our shop that is in the heavy hauling & tow business that we frequently have one hand washes the other deals with as good neighbors often do. We were looking at picking up a truck from an auction and asked him about getting the truck which he stated he wouldn't be able to make the trip by the pick up date, a few phone calls later he had a friend picking it up and bringing it part way to where he needed to pick up a load and he was going to pick it up there close to where he was dropping a load. They both made money on what would have been a deadhead trip and we got a great deal on our truck being delivered...
Nice! Congratulations! I drove a 1995 4900 Gravel truck and pup and I loved that truck. It was like a tank. Many times when the Kenworths and Sterlings struggled to get out of the deep downtown parkade excavations the long wheelbase of my truck would set back the weight on the wheels and give me more traction on those steep ramps.
Congrats on the new rig mate!👍Expansion can be a good thing, it's probably not just finding the work but a good driver whole look after your gear & customers might be the other issue. Either way, Good Luck & I look forward to your updates! Cheers from Down Under! 👍
What makes me smile is that, a few videos ago, someone asked why you didn't have a rotator. I said something like "oh, Casey has plenty of trucks lined up in his yard, could he put yet another there" - and here's why the uninformed can make comments that become ironic overnight. Best wishes for success and fun with your new toy
Love the new rig Casey and I can't wait to see it working on your videos. If I were a younger man and didn't live 350 miles due North of you I wouldn't mind driving that beast for you so I'll have to stick to hauling potatoes with the 2017 Petes and Freightliners and the occasional old worn out Mack trucks. Keep on keepin' on brother...
Can’t wait for heavy haul shenanigans. Using the Willy to pull the Beast was one of most ridiculous things you’ve done. Thanks for the laugh. Are you going to be spending more time in Prineville when you get a bigger trailer?
Nice truck! Congratulations! My company just bought 6 brand new western stars for work in Deadhorse, Alaska. I think they are high hoods too! One of our mechanics is skeptical of anything but Kenworth!
4:21 Truckers in the west coast are always super on point. Like you said 1 minute explanation and all you get is "no problem, ill get it done" even with huge favors like so.
8:57 She's a heavy bitch!!! Sinking into that clay is kind of wild. That stuff is tough(im born and raised in Oregon and still live down in Southern Oregon, spent alot of time mtn biking on Willamette pass and Bachelor during the summer so I know damn well how rock hard that clay can be).
In another post, I mentioned sending a message about Casey's comments regarding Delong Heavy Haul helping out by storing his truck until he could get down to Las Vegas to pick it up. They sent this response: Glad to help Casey out. There are still a lot of good people out there, and we have no problem helping them. People across the country have helped us out on many occasions. Thanks for the nice comments. Those Conexpo / mine expo shoes are quite “fun / headaches” getting all their super big equipment around town and into the convention center. Take care Thank you, Ken Prater Operations Manager DeLong Heavy Haul
I bet you had to stop every once and a while just to make sure the jeep was still back there because I'm sure you couldn't tell by the way the truck drove with such a light load behind that monster. I can picture that truck pulling one of those transformers the size of a house. I'm happy for you Casey to finally have the truck of your dreams.
Now that I've watched the whole video - wow! Casey, that's a good-looking truck and I suspect it will be a money maker. I wish we were closer so I could see her in person!
Excited To see what you do with this truck and what it will bring to the fleet. It's nice that your wife could be home and that youtube is able to provide. Wishing you the best 2025 has to offer.
Glad we could help you out. That was a good truck for us. Ken here with DeLong Heavy Haul. Dispatcher for 23 years now. That truck was never mistreated, off the road, under a heavy load.... lol.

First recovery in 2025 is in your own back yard? Well sometimes stuff happens! Plenty of room left for lots more trucks Casey!

Can’t wait for heavy haul shenanigans. Using the Willy to pull the Beast was one of most ridiculous things you’ve done. Thanks for the laugh. Are you going to be spending more time in Prineville when you get a bigger trailer?
Nice truck! Congratulations! My company just bought 6 brand new western stars for work in Deadhorse, Alaska. I think they are high hoods too! One of our mechanics is skeptical of anything but Kenworth!
Awesome truck!! Looking forward to seeing some new heavy haul videos!
Now we know why you made the trailer look so pretty. It has to match your new toy..... I see Road trips and extra CDL qualified drivers!
With the truck and flatbed he could load a few of his toys to go travel to 4 wheeler events for different vehicles.
The Beast is a fitting name for your new rig Casey! I hope the growing of your business goes great!
Perfect color for your team!
Casey....beautiful truck! Totally agree with steer tire replacement...you likely would have been flagged during truck inspection by DOT/DMV..
As long they're selling anything is possible, but when it's done......
Anyway, have fun with it, Good Luck!
Great looking truck, congratulations
congratulations Casey🎉 amazing track👍👍👍
love seeing peoples dreams and goals turn into a reality. Congrats on the truck its a beautiful setup Casey!
4:21 Truckers in the west coast are always super on point. Like you said 1 minute explanation and all you get is "no problem, ill get it done" even with huge favors like so.
8:57 She's a heavy bitch!!! Sinking into that clay is kind of wild. That stuff is tough(im born and raised in Oregon and still live down in Southern Oregon, spent alot of time mtn biking on Willamette pass and Bachelor during the summer so I know damn well how rock hard that clay can be).
Idea? Swap some hauling for material and labor with a builder company to build you a shed or shop to keep the shiny stuff out of the weather?
Congratulations Casey. Nice
In another post, I mentioned sending a message about Casey's comments regarding Delong Heavy Haul helping out by storing his truck until he could get down to Las Vegas to pick it up. They sent this response:
Glad to help Casey out. There are still a lot of good people out there, and we have no problem helping them. People across the country have helped us out on many occasions.
Thanks for the nice comments. Those Conexpo / mine expo shoes are quite “fun / headaches” getting all their super big equipment around town and into the convention center.
Take care
Thank you,

Very nice! Thank you for sharing 😊
I bet you had to stop every once and a while just to make sure the jeep was still back there because I'm sure you couldn't tell by the way the truck drove with such a light load behind that monster. I can picture that truck pulling one of those transformers the size of a house. I'm happy for you Casey to finally have the truck of your dreams.
Congrats on the new,to you truck. And wish you many more years of success!
Why am I as excited as Casey about his new truck 😂
Now that I've watched the whole video - wow! Casey, that's a good-looking truck and I suspect it will be a money maker. I wish we were closer so I could see her in person!
Excited To see what you do with this truck and what it will bring to the fleet. It's nice that your wife could be home and that youtube is able to provide. Wishing you the best 2025 has to offer.
Oh man good thing you painted that trailer red, looks reeeal nice clark 👌👍
Congrats
