I drove Truck for 30 some years 25 of them holding oversized ag equipment over lots of different states live in Montana 2011 got to order a brand new T 800 biggest disappointment in my life. Truck was always in the shop had the Cummings in it but I always tried my best to keep it, spotless took great pride in it hearing you share that a lot of people that don’t fully appreciate, a beautiful truck a lot of work to keep them clean and looking nice. I enjoyed the video. Enjoyed your point of view pretty hard now I got injured can’t drive but there’s always that love of trucks in you once you’ve been around them pride enough something that never leaves you you just keep driving on, God will protect you on your journeys
Dean, really appreciate your comment. We are pinning it to the top. A 30 year career is amazing, especially hauling the oversized equipment. Very glad you found this video. Email us a good mailing address to podcast@bulkloads.com & shirt size. We will send you a Richardson hat and a neat shirt, on us!
I'll bet my life this ol boy don't show up for work wearing flip flops and a tank top ...Take note this what CLASS IS ...
You got that right !
Can confirm... No flip flops!
Can't wait to get my cdl
This is really an awesome truck, having a C18 in it just makes it even more desirable
In a league of it's own because of that cat. Glad you found our video with Mike!
3400 TQ. Omg
Rock on.
😮 In a league of it's own
K2 you got the World Most Beautiful Truck in my opinion ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Big statement right there! Glad you found our video!
You nailed the present day "attitude" of trucking companies and drivers ! I'm old school and love the truck and trailer ! Excellent video ! Thanks for sharing !!
Really appreciate the kind words!!
More great vids on the way
I just loaded this truck LOL
Let me guess Port 33
@jonnyrebel1275 man it is a beautiful
Nice to see a truck like this getting real work done.
I just want to experience driving a Pete like that at least one time
We are glad you found the video! Hope you can get that opportunity soon
That is a top notch looking Pete!! And trailer…
🙌
Beautiful Truck! I'm not even a truck driver, however I enjoyed listening to this man talk about his truck and the industry.
This is such a cool comment to see. Very glad RUclips recommended our video to you!
I am amazed by the sheer force these machines exert with such ease.
You and me both!
Well done driver. Beautiful setup .
We agree!
Frickin beautiful
🙌😎
Old school,,, a class by itself
🤘
That rig would look super great powder coated purple
100% agree
@@BulkLoadsVids 😁
I heard him say he’s got a C-18, and I was instantly thinking cool, probably around 850 horse…. NAAAH 1,275 HP!! I would be naming that truck “instant gratification“! Beautiful all the way around!
That is an awesome name 😂
Lift the front tires and let er eat! 3400 ft pounds of torque on a street truck that’s worked is impressive
Nice footage & Gr8 LARGECAR COMBO
Appreciate the kind words!
They Can Go Around!🎉
Very well done!!! It’s done rite but not over done!!!
Great way to put it, very tasteful!

Great job and inspiring people
Really appreciate the comment, glad you found our video. Thank you Jerald!
ABSOLUTELY Beautiful !!
😎 Glad you found the vid!
Beautiful purple powdered covered truck!
PCP!!
hey my guy love your content .i have learned alot watching your videos
This made our day! Thank you!! Reach out anytime
i love this
5mpgs was all I needed to hear🤤
That's a good sign🙌
@@GoldPaccarStan 5 mpg, uphill, down hill, flat land at 90 mph all damn day, which means he can hook and haul 3 to 5 more loads per week than the guy creeping along at 63 mph, worried to death about losing a fuel mileage bonus, LMAO. Say no to cheap freight, buy the right equipment to get the most done and the shear production numbers take care of themselves!! So what if he spends $1000 more per week in fuel, he bills 5k to 7k more business each week. Meaning, he doesn't have to worry about fuel cost!!
@@chuckbough1425 lol 😂😂😂 chill out Bud
Luv 325 rears,,,,
Retweet..
Great looking truck driver
Truck driver don't get enough love 😂
Luv the LARGECARS,,,, like he mentioned 2 many steering wheel holders out here nowadays & dnt REALLY APPRECIATE REAL TRUCKIN
Passion > just a job
For me it's passion and business opportunities. Plus I really want to make a couple business focused around high performance rigs hauling machinery and heavy haul. Peterbilt, Kenworth and the old Western Stars are my kind of truck. Mack as well. International Lonestars. That's about it lol. Purple is my favorite color then green and yellow. I am in no way, a steering wheel holder. I'll run hard.
Powder costed x 100 😂😂😂 man that’s a beautiful machine.
Right?! Glad you found the video!
Probably mounted and secured powder coated purple 💜
PCP ALL DAY
Beautiful truck
It sure is!
Sounds like my kind of place and my kind of style.
Mike is a stand out guy!
@@BulkLoadsVids he seems like a great guy. He’s definitely doing it the right way.
That low bumper will be fun if I have to Tow it!!
No pain no game 😂
and thats why you remove the bumper to tow....weve done it a few times.
3400 foot lbs of torque?!? Thats insane! I bet he’s got no problem passing people
Might be the most we've heard of..
One of the owner operators that I worked with 20 years ago had a C-16, 600 hp CAT and I thought that was a helluva truck but this C18 is head and shoulders above. I'm missing driving a large car. I hauled cars with my own truck but sold out in 2013. If this company has a ride a man could get into I'd love the opportunity to run for a straight, stand up, old school company.
Glad you found our video! That is a cool perspective to hear. Follow K2 LLC on FaceBook, who knows what the future could hold! facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558625712805
1,276 hp that’s crazy 😳
😎
Does anyone know if there was anything powder coated purple?
Hard to tell from this video😂
He never did say lol
Love the Big C-18 Cat and beautiful paint. I’d just prefer the Bigger Sleeper. Although I know you said your company runs regionally and I understand the weight…. I just want to have the big sleeper.
Other than that, perfect.
Appreciate the comment and perspective, thanks for watching the video!
Very nice rig brother trucker
Right on!!
One day ill have a beautiful rig like this🤞 , sucks that they stopped making real hood trucks 😞
Absolutely..
Im fairly new to the industry,its hard to find a good paying outfit that appreciates the truck,not just about making money,longevity
A big issue right now, let us know if we can do anything to help out!
dose he drive this every day are is he a owner with toys
Wrkn Show Trk Fella

What a Welfare Wagon !!!C'mon
That ain’t no welfare wagon…… the ones watching are the ones with the welfare wagon wondering what darn rates or contracts do he get
Hmm I'm interested
🤔
Powder coated purple
Retweet
Did cat install jakes???
🤔
Yes
@@mkorte69 at 18 liters, I wonder what the brake horsepower would be at 1900? At least 700 ya think?
Any work in the south gulf coast area with bulk loads?? I have a class a but no truck right now but would love to hook up with bulk loads
We will help you out, call one of our experts (417) 595-0169
What transmission you gotta run for that much power ?
I run a 2250 TQ transmission with hardened gears
@@mkorte69where can I see more videos of your truck boss I have a 6nz sitting at home dream of one day having a c18
DEF???
LOL Negaitive
😂
A Volvo can go fast , a Peterbilt with a Caterpillar may go fast as it wants !
Whole different game!
Id drive that truck if you pay my water bill which is 50 bucks.
I’ve been looking for a company that I can do an apprenticeship or OJT, most of the companies just run cascadias 😢
Glad you found the video!
Know why nobody has a truck like that that’s an owner operator ??? Cause you can’t afford to have a truck like that. I’m order to be a millionaire being a trucker you gotta start off with 2 million 😎
Hard work & a good attitude pays! Mike is a standout individual
@@BulkLoadsVids yes sir
Go K-State 😂
💜🐱
My question is what is the miles per gallon ??

5 all day and totally worth it!
