When I started driving big trucks, my Dad always told me, "Don't think about it as backing up Son,, Learn to drive it both directions!" So true, Great job!
Backing up is my favorite part of it I’ve been complemented on how Well i do by older drivers and that makes my day. Idk how or why but i just understand how it moves
@@High_strung Hey man whats your name I think I've seen you before @ a truck stop once my sister & her husband drive a truck aswell bro take care out there Justin Moyer!!! 😎🙏👍🏼
Say what you want i drive a 389 with a 280 wheelbase hats off to ya everybody who says youre oversteering has never driven a long nose slow turning truck
Been driving Long Hood Pete's for decades, and anyone who says he is over steering has never drove one. They are slow turning as hell, and they are looong. I wouldn't want to drive anything else though. You can't put a price on Cool.

Hmm! Yes I pulled a Reefer too. I've backed into some tight spots also in my day. What I liked about my shaker, the stacks were in the back of sleeper! Amazing video though driver! Be safe #keepontruckin 🙏🇺🇸👍
Bro I swear every time I watch one of your videos, it just fuels my soul to hurry up and finish my training and one day become a full time owner operator and maybe even start my own small A1 quality trucking company.
Lil' Bubba, you sure got a perdy truck 🚛 there, but you ought to put a bigger sleeper on it! Anyway my name is Randy Hopkins, and I used to drive them old things! Started out with a brand spanking new '74 Peterbilt 359, 300 in. wheelbase w/a 120 in. custom walkthrough sleeper! It came with a 3406-B Cat, w/600 hp, and a Super-10 transmission! Nothing fancy like what you got, but it would get me up the hills without dropping a gear! My dad helped me buy it, and even though it was designed for showing with all the bells, and whistles, being a carpenter he decided one day to put a full solid oak floor in it, which a lot of people raved about, plus it got a lot of awards at several of the shows I attended, plus some extras like a year free fuel, and oil, some free meals, and a little extra cash 🏧, which helped out a lot! Anyway they used to call me "The Blue Diamond", or at least that's the handle I used to go by back in the '70's, '80's, and '90's! Anyhoo, I'm from Ft. Worth, Texas (Cowtown), not Funkytown like some people think, but you have yourself a good one, and keep it between the lines, and don't go collecting no road tickets!...😂 At least not like I used to! They ain't no good at truckstops anyway!...😂👍
Nice video dude! I love the truck, sound, manual transmission and i LOVE different camera angles. Thanks for keeping it real and showing the whole process of backing up and not some fake macho bs. It's hard to find something real in today's fake World. Great job 👍
Looked up to y'all a good while now me an my boys are out here getting it done all 4 of us are going in on putting a shop up on some land I got an while being company drivers building our dream trucks stay blessed brother stay loaded
For starters I definitely gotta give you credit and commend you for driving a stretched frame doing local deliveries. It would be a lot more hassle then it’s worth to me.. But you handle it well.. If there’s one piece of advice I would give; is to watch on your over steer.. Let the trailer do it’s thing first before you start turning so much.. Remember it takes about 4 ft. before you actually see the move that your trying to make
Hey 👋🏾 young fella that’s a nasty pits you’ve got there when my 1st ride in a tractor was a 6 speed Cracker Jack bet ya don’t know what that is my partner last truck was a black cherry Peter car that’s what we use to call me back in the day enjoy time fly’s when you’re having fun 💪🏾💪🏾

@@High_strung it's cool. I drove Peterbilts and I dream of having my own I love nice trucks. I mean nice Pete's. I always get carried away watching these videos but I would never tell you how your truck has to look because that is your choice
Nice truck. One time I ran to pick up my first load of the day. I was going to swap trucks and haul a 57”. Getting there the tractor was not, it was 40 minutes away. So not to miss the unload I grabbed the trailer and left. When I docked the driver next to me got out and looked. My bumper was dead even to his steer tires of a England. See I had a cabover. Yes I told him a little long.
LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE, SKILL AND PATIENCE, TRUCKING THATS A PROFESSION THAT DESEVERS MUCH RESPECT, THANK-YOU .....STAY SAFE MEN...THANKS FER TAKKIN US ALONG COWBOY ..
Glad someone is out here maneuvering a stretched out truck. Longest wb I drove was 290 and now there's 330+ inches out there lol always been a dream to own one. They'll definitely make you a better driver, kinda have to be
Watching my dad when i was able to go with him on trips it was a learning experience. He taught me alot. I wish he wasn’t hauling tanker otherwise I could go with him. I learned alot. Its not too bad on American Truck Sim.
I put miles on an 18 wheeler myself for some years and backed into many warehouse docks that I believe were built in the horse and carriage days so I say your tight docks are very roomy !!! Practice will make perfect 👌
Bad ass Rig nice too look at not so fun to back up and manouver around not so considerate 4 wheelers , I'm 35 been driving for last 14 years, years of backing up and tight spots will take a toll on a driver mentally and physically. Nowadays it's all about how I'm gonna make it as easy convenient and comfortable, keep at it and stay safe out there!
The trick to not wrecking your mud flaps is by cutting a slit from the bolt hole to the top so when a flap gets jammed it'll just pull out without damaging the flaps.
Trying to back and spot a long Wheelbase tractor like yours takes some getting used too. In my Alabama math I figure that for every 12 inches of wheelbase on your tractor it's like adding 4 feet to your trailer.
Nice Pete. We at GeetLand trucking just got our Pete again. After all 10 kenworths... hopefully to get a flat top next. We mainly run TX to CO and back
Id have to agree with igtv lol and truck is a 2017 389 300in wb 18 speed with a cummins. Pretty sure its 355 rears but not 100 percent the boss is the one that orders the trucks lol
That's the real deal man! I love trucking even if, as a woman, have been to serious discrimination. I wish I had started trucking when I was very young. I love the 10 gear stick driving, the stick feels like the extension of my hand, but this tall thing kind of scares me! You make it look slick and easy though!
Awesome video so far, but that second stop at that gas station, as a local driver, you made that stop overly complicated, instead of driving between the pumps and the building, I would’ve drove back on the road - wrong way and started sight side into a straight back - pretty much how you ended up ... keep it up driver 👍
No way!!! You mean you have to unload too?? F that!!!! I blew lime into tanks & cement too. I never had to unload skids. I worked on docks as a kid at night and summer and when a revived my CDL two things I wouldn’t do triples & doubles and hand unload. Lol I take my hat off to you for that.
Hey interesting and entertaining video. I'm just going to say do what's comfortable to you. It can get way tighter. I'm talking about the dock doors lol. I recommend the Grand Marshall train horn for you to add to your pretty truck. I did local in NYC for 14 years now I'm in the Chicagoland area. Fun stuff lol. Keep the rubber side down and keep truckin
@@jphill3426 exactly you cant see everything from inside the truck thats why you get the fuck out and look......so whats the point your trying to bring accross??
So many haters out there...maybe due to the fact that this guy seems to start his trucking years straight from the top? Also, some people have no idea about what is cool.

Really. Did you ever work in the oilfield. West Virginia for example. That is called drive the truck or the truck will drive you. You go up the mountain being pulled by a D 9 and you look down the side of it and it's grow balls or go home
I will say you did look like you were struggling a bit on that first one. But granted with a drop off and 300 in wheelbase I know I would struggle😂 good video

I thought about doing that but i have cow mats for mud flaps and there heavy not sure if they would work there way out or not
Most important is watch the road what is in front of you and watch your mirrors when driving and definitely anytime backing .
Trying to back and spot a long Wheelbase tractor like yours takes some getting used too. In my Alabama math I figure that for every 12 inches of wheelbase on your tractor it's like adding 4 feet to your trailer.
im gonna truck just cuz how much you make it look so much fun and relax . i love your truck
