Thanks so much Matt for playing my bands cover of The Sound of Silence. I am honored by it. You are a unique trucker fellow for sure. Love how you include the good and the bad and keep it real… And laugh at fate .
@@breadmenv for 10 years I've tried figuring out the difference between Sounds of Silence and The Sound of Silence.... As much as I love Simon and Garfunkel, David Draiman and the rest of Disturbed did a ridiculously great job making it their own.... David's voice gives me goosebumps when I listen to it
@@jordangraff2254 you’re like the fourth person that I’ve heard say they’ve got goosebumps from listening to that song. As someone who grew up listening to “down with the sickness” I just don’t get it, it’s just a cover of a song to me.
@@breadmenv I spent my teen years listening to Disturbed.... He just gets to display the power in his voice during this song. Gets to use the classic (operatic) training he received growing up...
I have to thank you for teaching me some things that I applied yesterday in a very stressful driving situation. I pull a 43' 5th wheel RV with my GMC 3500HD diesel. I'm about 61' long. I pulled into a busy shopping center parking lot on our vacation and immediately realized it was a bad move. The only way out for me was stopping traffic, a long back-up, then exagerated wide turns using all the lanes. My wife helped stop traffic. You taught me to be patient, not rush, and kindly smile & wave when other drivers give me room to maneuver. By watching your video's I actually turned this stressfull situation to fun! I'm 68 years old, so that's also fun for me watching someone as young as you doing what they love, being good at it, and having fun doing it!! Thanks again Matt!!
Only yesterday watched him for the first time. I think he is perhaps THE most legit guy I've ever seen. SO extraordinary the way he keeps "an even strain".
A good trick I learned for the corner boards is to throw your straps, tighten them down just enough so you still have a bit of slack, then get a long paint roller stick, put the board on the roller and push the corner boards under the straps up to the corner
Thank you from a old retired truck driver you take me on your trips❤ I miss it as he'll but I can't do it any more but ya thank you gods speed and keep the rubber rolling❤❤😊
Hey Matt, above and beyond the call of Duty!! Bravo! It's so great to see a young fella doing well with care and attention, best wishes from an 81 year old, who spent most of his life on wheels from Pan-techs to Bendy Busses, to Double Decker's, Backhoes, Tractors and Tour Busses, all over the world, well, in US, Can, UK, EU, Au, NZ, and now retired in Tasmania :)
I drove my truck for a year and everything one the truck was working awesome the moment I purchased the truck I’ve been fighting the same things you have 3 months into owning the truck I had a catastrophic engine failure. I swear this truck a mind of there own good luck with your truck and moffit. Thanks for the videos
You sounded a bit under the weather, but were working through it. Brings back memories of being out on the ROAD. Hope you’re feeling better, and always enjoy your vids.
I like to see you working around your truck like that, im in truck school right now and i like to see what is really like to work outside beside the driving , thx for the content
Great video, mate. I have a very similar set up to yours. I run a curtainsider B-train with a Moffett mounted in the same position as yours. I tow it with a 1999 Mercedes Actros doing deliveries in and around Auckland, New Zealand. I like your approach... no nonsense, no fuss, just get the job done. Stay the course, brother.
Thank you for the nice comment on the song Aaron. I think Matt’s like the only trucker on RUclips who would take the chance of putting up a cover. Maybe is because he keeps a Strat in the truck you know ! 😂
You really provided a great content!Thank you for sharing bud ,I notice that you deliver & unload you own freight & do inside delivery wow I hope you get compensated for your extra hard work!.Have a great weekend Sir.
Enjoying for the past hour as newly to your channel. I was in business for 43 years before I finally retired. My suggestion to you is to drop the Moffett off at a dealership and have them go thru it. You don't have time to play with it and you cannot afford to break down on a job sight in somebody's way, and you can't get it back on your truck. Stress released!
Matt, great to see you back on the road. As they say in Smokey and the Bandit " Keep your wheels spinnin' and the beavers grinnin" Have you tried to put Vasilne on the trailer connectors. It really good a repelling moisture.
Same luck as me, lol. Just about to pull out somewhere, and a 4 wheeler comes and decides to turn around. I think this video really shows exactly what trucking can be like (daily) when you go to new delivery locations, mechanical issues with equipment, etc. Murphy (Murphy's law) seems to be my passenger some days.
That Moffett sounds just like my king old Ford Explorer hydraulic steering booster. Well heck, to think of it, any Ford steering booster ever... 😁 Just keep on trucking and rocking!
I can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner! Nice to see a trucker's POV in the GTA. I live just 2 lights west of Highway 50 and pass by these buildings everyday. You may have stopped by my work at some point too 'cause Brampton Brick is one of our customers and I may have helped load/unload your trailer. If you ever stop by Blok-Lok on Highway 27, ask for Daniel. Cheers!
I just picked up a Moffett too. Great little machines. Next time you have the issue of it not shutting off, open the engine compartment lid, and on the back side (towards the rear of the machine) of the engine you’ll see the fuel shut off lever connected to a solenoid. It should read “stop” on it. You can move it to the stop position and hold it there until the engine dies. Solenoid/solenoid wiring is probably messed up. I just shut mine off manually every time
Open the big cover that opens up the whole rear of the machine, about midway up the engine you’ll see the solenoid and fuel valve. If it doesn’t say stop on it, you can always turn the key on and off to see which lever moves. that’s the fuel valve that you would shut off next time
JUST CAUGHT YOUR VIDEOS, THANKS FOR SHARING & WISHING YOU THE VERY BEST WITH YOUR TRUCKING CAREER, CALLTHEMALL!!!! CHEERS & KEEP YOURSELF SAFE!!!! 😉😉🦅🦅
I enjoy the content. I drive a tandem flat deck with Moffett for our local Rona! Lots of fun! I tried backing up trains when I took the class 1 course (only one in my class to even try) but failed miserably. Never had another opportunity to try again. Some of the places you go…I get tense just watching 😂
I had that same problem on my forklift. I had the mechanic add hydraulic fluid and boost the hydraulics. Now I can side shift full weight. Being that it's your lift, you can get that thing dialed in the way you like it.
If I remember right, that style of moffett has issues with the fuel shut off. We literally attached a pull cord to temporarily fix the same issue. It's a solenoid that doesn't close a valve, and can also drain your battery if it keeps trying
I used to deliver for Brampton Brick many moons ago. Some familiar territory watching this video. I know your pain when it comes to an improperly maintained Moffatt. Hopefully you can get all the kinks worked out it soon. lol
Hey, sound like your under weather. Hope you get better as well, you doing aa great work getting to everything done from getting the belt places and the load to where its going. Keep going, you all most done hope you can get rest after. They should make a kill switch if the machine decides to not turn off. like updated machines.
Another great video there sir! Whenever you were changing the belt I was surprised to see that the idler pulley was still in good shape. One time this happened to me, the idler froze up and lost the ball bearings causing the belt to come off of the alternator. I’ve been told cats are notorious for that. Just a little fyi if you didn’t already know that. 😎🤙🏻
29:21 - I occasionally use a Moffett that does that too. I was told to shut it off by straining the hydraulics till it stalls out... Curious to know what causes it.
Matt, come to Australia and tow four!! Not b,s ,trains! I'd love you to have the experience mate. I tow 6 sometimes, with a push motor on my middle trailer! You will do well bro!
Have you driven a old school piece of diesel equipment where you have to pull a lever to shut off the engine? I think your forklift is the same, except it has a pull solenoid under the hood that pulls the fuel shutoff for the engine. If it's like my Kubota tractor, this pull solenoid doesn't work sometimes. A little wd 40 on it will help, and believe it or not on mine, if I leave the rpms up a little bit when I turn the key off it works better. You can also get a lawnmower cable and rig it to the fuel shut-off lever on the injection pump and use that to shut it off. It must have a electric fuel lift pump on it, that sounds like the reason it slowly died when you pulled the battery. I bet you have a hard time starting it again after that.
Looks like a return to sender kinda deal not? haha! Turning a diesel off should cut off the fuel. Usually some kind of actuator at the fuel pump if it is mechanical injection. Could be something wrong with the power to that actuator?
How many hours on the hydro pump, after 3000-4000 they need rebuilt . Also it's probably more than one pump so need to do a pressure test on them then it will give you a idea of what is going on with them.the company that makes the pumps have a table for accepted pressure. Hope it helps . That's what was going on with mine.
Hi Matt!! Awesome video and best trucking channel on youtube!!. I used to run a moffet truck for Rona, and Hiab Cranes on Sunset Drive off of Victoria Park in Toronto used to sell and service Moffets if you need any help. Cheers !! Rob
The Moffett forklifts are a good machine but that one has certainly seen better days. It looks quite old and seems like someone has done some butchery on the wiring.
hey man I'm pretty sure I saw you last week I was on the service road with a blown brake line and you were going Toronto bound on the Qew right before the scale in Lincoln.
I understand you now have your own authority, do you work directly for the customer now, or through a broker. Great work, keep it up! And with any equipment, I hope you have good luck.
Damn that Moffett seems like a bit of work, but in saying that at least you can fix it up and know it will be okay! Hopefully the motor is good despite the fact it's probably got sludge everywhere from lack of oil changes, maybe down the line you could clean it up inside of the motor if it's getting choppy or blocked up.
You should not get the fork stuck we use them here in Ireland we have mud I can tell you, how we keep them moving pull your forks in stick them in the ground and drive them out should push you back, off road they are great don't like how wide they are great machines though
Thanks so much Matt for playing my bands cover of The Sound of Silence. I am honored by it. You are a unique trucker fellow for sure. Love how you include the good and the bad and keep it real… And laugh at fate .

Thanks for showing Canadian trucking. It was interesting to see how to take Moffett up on the trailer.
I wish I have the will to live as strong as that fork lift.
Thanks for a great vid. Loved the sounds of silence with the MOFFETT back and forth. Great show.
I like to see you working around your truck like that, im in truck school right now and i like to see what is really like to work outside beside the driving , thx for the content
I have that same tool kit and it's saved my butt so many times it's ridiculous lol. That moffett just wants to keep working.
😂😂
Spent eleven years with Lowes on the flatbed with Moffett forklifts. The three wheel steer models are best thing since sliced bread !
One of the perks of being older than dirt . Knowing the tunes . Your moffett needs a lot of dialing in
Every day I wake up, I wonder if you will upload today. I look forward to each one

Exactly what it needed. If he pushed the levers it would have shut rite off.

Yes please!
nice video but it was the first time seeing a moffett getting loaded up this way. here in europe we put them at the back of the trailer.
God bless you my friend
Again thanks for another great video take care my friend blessings 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇹
Oh dear - looks like there is a Moffett rebuild video soon!
Truck is looking sharp with the new decals, seen ya 400nb at hwy 9 today!
That drumbo place you slept at is right down the street from an old buds place
That things gotta have a "strangler" on it somewhere to kill the air to the motor.
Truck ABS light is most likely moisture related. 50% of the Peterbilts where I work throw truck abs lights when it’s nice and wet outside 😂
Always pack spare belts had rocks come off a tire and shred the belt and fluid film helps keep the green meanies away from electrical wires.
Try using "Corrosion X" the red aerosol can on all of your electrical harnesses and connections.

I'd love to see how the rails work in depth. And even a link to them. I have never seen that style only on the back of truck.
The 53’ van at the lights around 13.23 looked like the right hand door was wide open
Your Moffett is a demon 😂😂
2:17 thats a nice mk8 golf r/ gti. Minty

Yep that’s what’s getting done right now!
grab the fuel line from the tank to the pump and pinch it off till you fix the key switch
Smart!
That’s some crazy shit the thing wouldn’t shut off. I’m sure at some stupid problem but who knows what
I hope charged extra on this special delivery for the time and mileage on the Moffit.

Is that London at the beginning of video?
One of my biggest dreams in life is to drive a Peterbilt 🤣 I wanna lay that bad boy down

Yeah likely! Around 3-4pm Thursday?
Lol when did you film this? There’s so much snow in London right now.
Sounds like you need to do a hardcore restoration of the truck.
Why does the light always turn red when you are on the exit ramp? ALWAYS GETS ME! I don't get it😂
Truck self sabotaging itself sheesh
I understand you now have your own authority, do you work directly for the customer now, or through a broker. Great work, keep it up! And with any equipment, I hope you have good luck.
Mostly through brokers for now

Hey Matt try using motive for your logs
That's nice . I have trucks and forklift too
Maybe it wouldn't shut off because of the position of the forks, it might have sensors/limit switches where its got to be 'rested'
I noticed the pattern at which you unloaded is that for a reason ?
I guess that’s better then not starting! Lol be safe
I enjoy your Volga keep going bro
Use one of the levers with no revs that will kill it our pull lever at the pump
