    The best thing about the channel is your honesty in talking about our industry from your point of view “behind the wheel “ those who don’t like it, why are you here?

    I’m hooked man. Your ‘Man babies’ 😂 comment has prompted a comment from me. Your personality and how you speak is why I’ve watched your videos for hours now. Man I wish I knew you in person! Specific truths of the industry! I’m finally going to get that Golden CDL-A soon, I’ve put it off since the ‘90’s but hold on….the reason was I had to finish and retire from a Military career first.
    I’m inspired by you Bandit. Maybe I’ll document my journey? Ya right. If it ever happens I’ll let you know.
    Final thoughts, I see your sacrifices for your family, I see your truth and representation. Your “colorful metaphors” or bad words (for anyone who did not get that movie reference) is what 1st and foremost make you real. There’s a time and place for many actions or language to be used and the road is just fine with those bad words being used. Rock on man! Take care and be safe. Next time you’re in that tunnel, cave, nuclear/ Armageddon bunker, in MO., you best stop at those Stop signs! How dare you not stop when you have a clear line of sight!

    I agree your 389 looks Awesome with that Gigantic Red, White Blue 🇺🇸. Yeah I'm a bit biased as for the traditional look of the Peterbuilts & even 2 of the Kenworth w900 & especially the studio sleepers. But is it a Peterbuilt ? Nope 😂 That aside, I genuinely hope I didn't bring up old memories for you. Though knowing folk from other areas & even 3 elder friends still alive who survived WWII 2 from the camps 1 who successfully hid through the Dutch resistance. Those memories are never forgotten, the pain somewhat lessens & ppl learn to "cope". 1) it's okay to feel 2) just as big I hope I didn't bring up anything for you. Your story is amazing! & I agree in that many who are born here, do not truly grasp all that we have. As I have traveled the globe many times. Even parts that are not friendly to many. I have a variety of friends who like you have a story of true strength & overcoming true hardship, that have a better life either in the EU, US or Canada. - & again Fck what ppl say about your language, if they're that big a 🍼👶🤱 then they can kiss your you know what 😂.

    The truck looking good. I also use a portable generator to heat and cool Mt truck I rarely idle my truck for very long . The new trailer looks great hopefully they will finish the work and make everything right. I have two trailers that I have had for several years. I bought my dry van trailer at a task force auction and my step deck I bought new both trailers have served me very well. I also carry spare tire and wheel mounted on the spare tire rack. The view from the bird looks very cool.

      @OTRBandit  3 месяца назад

      Thank you very much 🙏🏼 I use my generator for AC in the summer time. And for winter time I have diesel bunk heater. Best money ever spent. Saving so much money on fuel because we don’t have to idle. I might end up buying flatbed or step deck to have as spare and also to have more options for the loads.

    Oh yes 1 more comment lol… your drive axles will always be heavy cuz remember with a reefer you got approx. 2200#’s of weight sitting on the nose of your trailer from the engine… so make sure when they load you at the shipper, they load it a correctly! For example load of meat, candy, cheese, milk, eggs, raw dough, etc weighing 42,000 or more pounds would be single double single double all the way to the back or it can be double, single, double… only time that won’t work is it’s a fully loaded trailer double stacked… just depends on how many pallets cuz yes there is multiple patterns to balance out the weight in the trailer which is usually are posted at the shippers… you can google / RUclips it… but if your hauling 35,000#’s or less than it won’t matter too much… 36,160#’s fully fueled empty weight is not bad cuz my Freightliner Cascadia was 33,500#’s fully empty… peterbilts are heavier for sure… but good rule of thumb is 40,000 or more pounds always get a scale ticket to be safe & legal… and not every time you’ll be able to get full tanks cuz of the weight… plenty of times i had to do 1/2 tanks otherwise I’d be overweight… and when i was super heavy I’d only do up to 35 gallons per tank… i always liked having an even amount of diesel per tank cuz i felt as it helped out better & yes I’m OCD lol… and just cuz you have a reefer trailer doesn’t mean you can’t do dry loads too… now you can haul both dry and refrigerated goodies to make even more money… like you might find a good refrigerated load going somewhere and haul a good paying dry load to the house… you never know cuz that’s fun of trucking lol… they even make reefer trailers with 3 zone settings with separate compartments (bulkheads) that can haul frozen, refrigerated, and dry all at the same time… seen a lot of food service companies and some grocery companies do that…
    Yeah i know too much rambling lol… take care and stay safe buddy!

    • @OTRBandit
      @OTRBandit  3 месяца назад +2

      You are absolutely right and that. I scaled with truck and reefer full of fuel and I’m 6K more on my drives than on my trailer. I like filling my tanks equally as well. And most of the time when I fill up, I fill up all the way but I think filling up halfway would definitely help with weight. I’ve seen those trailers that have multi temp zones. I’m just not experienced enough to try that right now. I know dollar general has those trailers where they would have milk and ice cream inside the same trailer. I am very happy about the reefer I can’t even explain.

    Glad you found your reefer, trailer looks clean and TK's are nice units! You're the real deal when it comes to trucking, wish more drivers had the common sense and courtesy you show for others when out there. I never take an entire parking spot when bobtail either, its just plain selfish and thoughtless for those who need to park truck and trailer!
    I am the son of a legal immigrant who escaped Cuba just before castro took over. I heard the horror stories from my family, they were so happy to be Americans, and like you they deeply loved and appreciated this country! It takes someone like you who truly knows how hard the world is and how blessed we in America are, wish more Americans had the appreciation, love and passion for what we have here as you do! Safe travels, and G-d Bless you Brotha!
    PS; I also run a 48' flatbed and love it. Personally prefer it to the reefer and the pita wherehouses and up all night clusterf@ck appointments, and long wait times. Having two types of trailers gives me options depending on the market, basically what pays better at the time. I would recommend trying out flat bedding sometime, loads are always changing and often interesting and challenging and you actually get loaded and unloaded much quicker and during normal work hours. That beautiful Blue Pride and Class Pete would look great pulling a skateboard too!

    • @OTRBandit
      @OTRBandit  3 месяца назад +1

      I really appreciate that buddy 🙏🏼 we really are blessed to be here. People that were born here will never understand how bad it is outside of USA. I was thinking about buying a flat bed sometime next year just so I can have different options for loads. More options, the better. I think reefer will be allot tougher than dry van but I think I should be ok. As long as I’m paid good, I don’t mind the crazy hours.

    Yea buddy, congrats on you getting your reefer, it has come to fruition.. So I want to add my two cents about Mid State Trailers, I think they cost you the load you mentioned that was going to
    Pennsylvania, which you said it pays pretty good, not only did they cost you that load, but cost you the 2 days you waited for them to fix what was wrong, and replace all the trailer tires. It should have been ready when you got there !!!! Just my two cents, yes them replacing the trailer tires was nice, but...So thanx for doing what you do, for the ride alongs for the time you put into editing the videos. Your passion for the industry is above and beyond & Thank you Pprrrrtttttt.

I like this reefer stuff, I will definitely buy a brand new one in couple of years. And I will definitely consider that place up in Wayne Nebraska. I appreciate it brother. Thank you very much. I would’ve liked great Dane better than utility anyway because for some reason it looks better to me..

    Trick. I learned from somebody that was running a refer for much longer than I was to put a load lock about a foot foot from back wall of the refer so that you won't have any problems scaling. This Will keep the weight off of your front axle The only place this hurt me ever was in California with 40 ft bridge rule
