That’s the whole reason for “NOT FOR HIRE” on the side 🤦♂️ nice freightshaker ya got my man!! With so many people on the interweb these days there is always gonna be a know it all that don’t know shit!!
Is everybody having a heart attack what the hell do they all drive for Schneider or something and people calm the f down if people want to outlaw and you dont like it dont look
I love the comments almost better than the video. I started trucking in Dade City Florida in 1980 for Florida Refrigerated Services. Cab over Kenworth with a Aerodyne sleeper.
Wow, that military truck has some serious suspension travel on the rear. I wasn't expecting both rear axles to stay planted while it was going up onto the trailer.
It warms my heart to see Blue Collar doing what it was made to do!! Keep on Truckin' and good luck with your final CDL test. That should shut a few people up!!
On the next set trim them so they are about inch to an inch and half off the ground with the bags dumped and they will be right and keep them from dragging no matter what your doing
Just do a Swift... turn them upside down, poke new holes and use 4 zip ties, Eazy Peazy! Don't be afraid to add a little silver ductape, in the rain it almost looks like chrome, Wow! 😂👍
I worked at a food bank for a year and I had to move the trucks and trailers around the yard so they could be loaded and unloaded. I had no CDL or much experience. But I never had an accident and I always had the best time learning to park trailers on a docking bay! I think you did an awesome job hauling those loads around! Looking forward to more videos!
One thing I see buddy you need to move your tag to front bumper get a small hinged bracket that mounts to the bottom of the bumper so you don’t have to drill holes in that blind mount bumper but tag has to be on the front of the truck
Low key really liked this video. Good type to mix in and always love seeing machines put to work. Been here since before the gold race truck. Great content as usual Bruce 🤘🏼
Full respect dude that full trailer of logs would have been a good test for blue collar and screw the haters you got the job done so what you lost the mud flaps
if you kept the mudflaps that were ripped off you can cut the tops off and redrill the holes and reinstall them. If you get new flaps cut them shorter so they don't hang so low. You are allowed 8" from the bottom of the flap to the ground. I would suggest take advantage of that.
Sure reminds me of my younger days of trucking. Started driving for the farm at the age of 15 and that was in a 63 B model Mack with a 5 - 4 - 3 speed rear. The bench seat and bendix rear suspension you can picture the rough ride and arm strong steering. It was the school of hard knocks. Miss a gear and your knuckles were in the steel dash. Blue collar is the 5th style truck I drove. I better shut up my age is showing at 49 this year.
I watched this video the day it was released, and for a minute RUclips stopped recommending any of your content. Twice now I've been seeing your videos popping back up. Best of luck with what you have going on, can't wait to see you back.
You got to spend a day in my life. Awesome. Breaking shit, gettin stuck, being pulled in and pushed out of most job sites. Logging trucks and trailers take beating no doubt. 👍🏻
@@sergeantspeed5941 I always had a minimum of 5" between the bottom of the flap and the ground, being up here in WI/MN with snow 8 months of the year ...
Hey Bruce one driver to another you need to put your tag on the front of the truck and put some old mud flaps on the headache rack so you don't hear the chains and binders hitting the headache rack and do you have your regular cdl license yet cause if you get caught driving blue collar with out your cdl that's like driving with out a license and a shout out to the camera lady she does a very good job and so do you
A good trick we used to use before we got heated mirrors was to tie a cloth to mirror arm ,the cloth would flap about cleaning the mirrors. I didn't see you pick your flaps back up.
Cool shoutout to Westen. The mess of him driving it is what made such a good video. Dont worry about people roasting you for being new to this. They all started somewhere and most people that leave negative comments dont even upload content.
Fair play to you for doing a decent video on blue collar. But please remember once you have passed your heavy goods licence please do do think for one minute that you know every thing. Every day in the haulage industry is a learning day Bruce. Wish you well on your test tomorrow and be safe. 🚛🚛🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Bruce, I hope I'm not telling you something that you already know. Be super careful with the log trailers. 1) always an uneven load distribution. 2) Tall and narrow. 3) They're a lazy bastard that like a lie down when it suits them. Yep, they fall over. 4) Short wheel base, better maneuverability. So, not having a go at you, just saying, ok?
A couple things. 1- you got to get a cb if your gonna log. That's an absolute necessity. 2- don't fret over folks toasting you. Hell I've ripped mud flaps off backing up to a curb stop. It happens. 3- mighty fine blind side backing to get the army truck.
I been sayin the same thing. He is running without a class A. If he gets pulled over he will lose the chance to own a cdl and get his truck impounded. He needs to be careful out like that especially posting videos cause the sweet tooth as I call po po. They could be watching. He's brave man tho
@@Mr_Prospector_ I'm sure when the DOT stops him with "Not For Hire" on the side of his truck, no DOT#, No 2290, No MC#, and lacking insurance they will just let him go when says "I'll have all of that momentarily"
No CDL - check No DOT numbers - check Commercial operation - check Video the events for YT - check Criminal record for fraud - check "Private use" marked truck in commercial use - check Having a visit from from FHP-DOT about the events given in this video and receiving numerous citations - priceless
@@nethanelmasters5170 hauling of the logs is commercial work. There is not a thing private about it unless on your own property to which he was not. Thats not including equipment hauling too as its not his
@@brandoncaldwell95 and that is exactly were he was he never got on the road. Try keeping up. Hauling the military truck was a favor to a friend no pay so can't be classified as commercial business.
@@nethanelmasters5170 county roads are public. FHP can stop any one any road any time for anything especially commercial rigs. He stuck out like a sore thump and would be nailed in a heartbeat. Especially when the trailer registration is ran. Doesnt matter if its friends or not. Its his equipment or none. Thats the purpose of "private use" only his crap noone elses. This is why private use rigs get bad names and are nailed as hard as they are. If you want to get technical. RUclips is a business. He is using the truck for views which classified as commercial use.
Dad had a late 80s freightliner cabover like yours he hauled logs with. Used a single bunk log trailer in some spots. He was able to get some places a straight truck didn't want to go haha
@@bctw9004 I see thanks mate now i understand.. i think he is well brave showing that he can drive a semi without CDL in public..I know i dont know well enough about your country law but in my country if you want to drive semi truck you must have CDL even in private road. so let see where this will end...but i stil enjoy his video and give him a like..
Muhammad Akmal I personally think Bruce is an idiot abs knows very little about older trucks. That being said.. I watch them cause it’s similar to a never ending train accident.
Blue Collar. Putting in work. Great job Bruce Wilson. Logging is hard on a truck . I wasn't surprised that you lost a couple of mud flaps . Considering the terran you were in. I've been in situations like that myself.
I would recommend before you take CDL Road test, also loose the steering wheel spinner for the test. Examiner will either flunk you, or not let you use your truck for test if not DOT legal.
Don't let the haters get ya down, brother. You do YOU, that's what we are here for! Blue Collar sounds amazing, love hearing that Detroit grunt. "Don't hit that squirrel. Please don't hit it. DON'T HIT!...." Lol, adorable....
It's neat to watch people actually using the stuff they fix up. I think you should keep the Air Force truck and do it up in some aircraft style camo paint scheme with rondels and all that. Maybe a low vis grey camo or a top gun adversary camo scheme. You should google that those paint schemes. Or also google a "Black Bunny" Vandenburg paint scheme.
@Tsunauticus IIInot sure about happy pills. I've only watched a few vids. I haven't smoked in decades but i know when someone's stoned and this kid has clearly been stoned in a couple vids. Could I be wrong? Sure, maybe he's just a little slow but then explain for what other reason, with the connections he has in the trucking world, he wouldn't have a cdl right now. He can afford it and clearly knows how to drive and probably knows who can get him a road test without doing the school thing. Im no saint and have made my fair share of mistakes WITH a valid cdl and so payed the consequences. I can't imagine making the same mistakes in an illegal truck with no license. Not in this day in age.
These replies are great! Because I can tell ya'll are real truckers. I am on the verge of not being one anymore. My DOT physical was only issued to me for 1 year this time because of my blood pressure... I guess it is a nice way to tell me I'm getting too fat!
Congratulations , best content in a while. Next video idea, when you stop to buy fuel at pilot truck stop use the free windshield brush. Next project for Blue Collar repair crack windshield. 207K views very good.
Nothing but positive criticism here. First off, kudos to your lovely camera operator. Great job, Amber! Scales: a lot of scale operators prefer you let the load in front of you clear the scale before you move onto the platform. Backing up: good practice is to turn on your flashers when backing (you had a lot going on for your first haul, you are forgiven). Over all, great job. You learned a lot. That's what it's all about. Makes me wish I was back in the truck. Keep making me proud, Bruce. Peace to you and Amber.
Yeah nice rig bruce did good on it..I'm not crazy about that shade of blue..I love that Detroit 60...but if it had a 3408 cat. Oh it would sound sooo..much better
Yes. I like to see a good challenge. Love those old Autocars. That one, though, looks as though Mother Nature has attempted to reclaim her. BTW, who won the weinermobile?
Love the cabover... rare as hens teeth on the roads too. I am from western Canada and was lucky enough to see one a couple months ago. Great cam work also!!👍
Got one big tip for you Bruce: Get rid of that “private not for hire” decal, the DOT loves to see those, the first thing they think is: air brakes, over 26k gross better pull him over. There’s nothing wrong with running outlaw a little, just don’t draw attention to yourself. Buy an old IFTA sticker off another trucker to put in the window, take all the signage off the truck and run it. all the DMV’s are closed for corona anyway so that’s a good excuse.
Are you really expecting him to trade something legal for something illegal. Switching paperwork to another vehicle is a felony in most states. Running privatized is totally legal and dot cant do shit except watch him go by and wave. My lawyer and I will put money on it if your a wagering man!?!?
me now He’s already running illegal, the truck is legal but he’s not legal to drive it. An IFTA sticker shows you’ve paid your road use fuel tax and is one of the first things a cop will look for when you roll past. Here where I live (West Virginia) if you get caught driving a CMV (which this is, the law is VERY clear on that) without a CDL you lose the opportunity to get a CDL for 6 months and are fined $500. If you get caught twice, you can NEVER get a CDL and you pay a fine. If you get caught 3 times you lose your regular license and your cdl and there is a possible (though rarely imposed) jail sentence. I know somebody it happened to, he though saying his truck was “private” was ok. On his third strike he was hauling a load of fill dirt and got stopped pulling out of the job site. He tried to say it was his own dirt, The cop checked on who the contractor and land owner was and neither was him.
@@J.R.in_WV You need to first go back to learning what commercial commodities and privatized vehicle use are. And just because it has air brakes doesnt make it commercial. My dad my uncle and I have been running a couple trucking outfits my entire life. This means I have gotten legal advice more times than you can count. I will take 40 years experience and professional attorneys opinions of the legal system over RUclips hotshot drivers any fucking day of the week. Good day sir
@@J.R.in_WV The person you know who you are referring to was absolutely not using it for private use just as you stated. Like I said look up the legal definition of commercial commodities and Bruce isn't violating any laws
me now let’s see your trucks then, your channel has no content. I run an 89 paystar 5000 every day, If I had to bet on who’s a “RUclips wannabe trucker” it would be you. Also go to your state’s DMV and see what requires a cdl, I’ve got the WV book right here in front of me and it states very clearly if it’s got air brakes, you need a CDL to drive it. Also if it’s over 26,000 GVW you need a CDL. Maybe your state is different, but I doubt it.
@@chatta6013 Cleetus' content is very different than Bruce's. With that logic, Cleetus is copying the people before him. Even some of Cleetus' recent content is a copy of BBC's Top Gear.
Love the videos but also wondering about Kyle Greer and his transmission and $$$. Give us your side of the story or something. Being ripped off isn’t cool...
Watching the camera angle from Amber sitting in the passenger seat brings me back to the days riding with my old man, better days in the 90's brother, better days.
Probably hasn't been DoT inspected, no numbers or insurance, cracked windshield, and according to your last video only a cdl permit. You thought you were in trouble before. If you get caught it won't be with the local pd.

Blablabla relax and enjoy the video. If not the door is over there.
@ I was already out the door before I even commented. Just sayin if he's going to play trucker, he needs to do it legally or he's going to get a rude awakening not "if" but "when" he gets caught. Have a nice day though and enjoy the content
Ok everyone the logs were hauled on private property,not on public roads. And the army truck was hauled for a friend as a favor not for commerce.
That’s the whole reason for “NOT FOR HIRE” on the side 🤦♂️ nice freightshaker ya got my man!! With so many people on the interweb these days there is always gonna be a know it all that don’t know shit!!
Hey Bruce have you gotten your CDLs yet buddy your driving like a pro
Not to bad them Detroit's hold there own hauling

need to get that front window with the crack replaced bro
linchpin20 so it can crack again? Ain’t that bad

@@zackhamilton7421 and by a few I mean like 60.🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Congratulations , best content in a while. Next video idea, when you stop to buy fuel at pilot truck stop use the free windshield brush. Next project for Blue Collar repair crack windshield. 207K views very good.
Bro EVERYONE told you to cut the flaps because they were an inch off the ground with the rear aired up.
It's still his truck no one cares
Nothing but positive criticism here. First off, kudos to your lovely camera operator. Great job, Amber! Scales: a lot of scale operators prefer you let the load in front of you clear the scale before you move onto the platform. Backing up: good practice is to turn on your flashers when backing (you had a lot going on for your first haul, you are forgiven). Over all, great job. You learned a lot. That's what it's all about. Makes me wish I was back in the truck. Keep making me proud, Bruce. Peace to you and Amber.
Is that how you cheat scales -by ripping off two mud flaps before weighing second time?
Nice too see Blue Collar working
When are you going to fix your cracked windshield friendly question don't take it wrong
Yeah nice rig bruce did good on it..I'm not crazy about that shade of blue..I love that Detroit 60...but if it had a 3408 cat. Oh it would sound sooo..much better
Yes. I like to see a good challenge. Love those old Autocars. That one, though, looks as though Mother Nature has attempted to reclaim her. BTW, who won the weinermobile?
Love the cabover... rare as hens teeth on the roads too. I am from western Canada and was lucky enough to see one a couple months ago. Great cam work also!!👍
Got one big tip for you Bruce: Get rid of that “private not for hire” decal, the DOT loves to see those, the first thing they think is: air brakes, over 26k gross better pull him over. There’s nothing wrong with running outlaw a little, just don’t draw attention to yourself. Buy an old IFTA sticker off another trucker to put in the window, take all the signage off the truck and run it. all the DMV’s are closed for corona anyway so that’s a good excuse.
Are you really expecting him to trade something legal for something illegal. Switching paperwork to another vehicle is a felony in most states. Running privatized is totally legal and dot cant do shit except watch him go by and wave. My lawyer and I will put money on it if your a wagering man!?!?
me now He’s already running illegal, the truck is legal but he’s not legal to drive it. An IFTA sticker shows you’ve paid your road use fuel tax and is one of the first things a cop will look for when you roll past. Here where I live (West Virginia) if you get caught driving a CMV (which this is, the law is VERY clear on that) without a CDL you lose the opportunity to get a CDL for 6 months and are fined $500. If you get caught twice, you can NEVER get a CDL and you pay a fine. If you get caught 3 times you lose your regular license and your cdl and there is a possible (though rarely imposed) jail sentence. I know somebody it happened to, he though saying his truck was “private” was ok. On his third strike he was hauling a load of fill dirt and got stopped pulling out of the job site. He tried to say it was his own dirt, The cop checked on who the contractor and land owner was and neither was him.
@@J.R.in_WV You need to first go back to learning what commercial commodities and privatized vehicle use are. And just because it has air brakes doesnt make it commercial. My dad my uncle and I have been running a couple trucking outfits my entire life. This means I have gotten legal advice more times than you can count. I will take 40 years experience and professional attorneys opinions of the legal system over RUclips hotshot drivers any fucking day of the week. Good day sir
@@J.R.in_WV The person you know who you are referring to was absolutely not using it for private use just as you stated. Like I said look up the legal definition of commercial commodities and Bruce isn't violating any laws
me now let’s see your trucks then, your channel has no content. I run an 89 paystar 5000 every day, If I had to bet on who’s a “RUclips wannabe trucker” it would be you. Also go to your state’s DMV and see what requires a cdl, I’ve got the WV book right here in front of me and it states very clearly if it’s got air brakes, you need a CDL to drive it. Also if it’s over 26,000 GVW you need a CDL. Maybe your state is different, but I doubt it.
Digging that 900A @ 10:17 👍
Bruce, man ditch those sun glasses asap
But he has 2 copy cleetus mcfarland same with this ideal of his posting everyday. Amongst other things
@@chatta6013 it work for cleetus it will work for Bruce you play video games quit coping your sister's
Seems he will probably copy westen champlin soon as well
Chatta601 then fuck off kid
@@chatta6013 Cleetus' content is very different than Bruce's. With that logic, Cleetus is copying the people before him. Even some of Cleetus' recent content is a copy of BBC's Top Gear.
All those rigs look interesting from what I could see. Really like the KW, like the colours on it.
What happened to blue collars right hand windshield? I must have missed it in previous episodes
Every ol truck I see on the road . I wonder were its been. How many loads its hauled the towns and citys its been through. What a good ol truck.
That's nothing you want to try pulling logs out of aussie highlands. Sought the men from the boys out
Wonder how he'd go with a b double or a train Brutha!
Boy does that truck look tough from the front view!!
Love the videos but also wondering about Kyle Greer and his transmission and $$$. Give us your side of the story or something. Being ripped off isn’t cool...
he`s a chop shop felon, what do you expect ?
GREAT video. No BS just truckin, great music as well.
Watching the camera angle from Amber sitting in the passenger seat brings me back to the days riding with my old man, better days in the 90's brother, better days.
Go back I told you about them damn mud flaps
I make my living in the woods pulling logs, mud flaps never last. If you like doing this kind of work, I would suggest some straps.
Probably hasn't been DoT inspected, no numbers or insurance, cracked windshield, and according to your last video only a cdl permit. You thought you were in trouble before. If you get caught it won't be with the local pd.
Blablabla relax and enjoy the video. If not the door is over there.
@ I was already out the door before I even commented. Just sayin if he's going to play trucker, he needs to do it legally or he's going to get a rude awakening not "if" but "when" he gets caught. Have a nice day though and enjoy the content
Bruce I knew you couldn't pass up that W-900 Kenworth. I certainly wouldn't have been able to! Do a will it start on the KW.
Does anyone else think about 20 people are forwarding this video to the DOT...
Roy Hunt at least. Hope he is off of probation
Shhhhh! 🤣👍
Loved todays video!
