Damn guy if i knew that was you I'd have came out to say hi I'm at the concrete plant next door all the out of town guys cant believe that they unload in the street.
Cut a sunroof into the ceiling so that in the summertime you an add an extension to that massive shifter and have one that sticks clear up out the roof. Maybe put an American flag or something on it to whip in the wind.
I grew up in Upstate NY...did some trucking there before I came to MN and I was always told...NY height signs are a foot under actual, because they factor in Snow/Ice/Road Repaving...etc....Always throws out of state truckers off unless you've either been under it before safely, or you've heard through the grapevine. It's always been kinda silly if you ask me. Just post actual and take the guessing game out.
I live in New Jersey and drove in New York many times. I was told when I first started driving trucks was that when in New York the yellow signs you are clear. If the signs are white do not go under you will not clear it.
I drove my 95 379 in Brooklyn queens Manhattan for 20 years let's just say I don't miss it. However I learned to back my truck into spots people thought were impossible.
@@dopamine261 in my 20 years of driving i never hit anything the only accident I ever had was someone who crashed into me. The only time I ever broke something was on a blindside back my trailer door chain broke and I couldn't see it do it swung closed and got crushed but that was the only significant damage I ever did and that was when I was a newbie. Trust me everyone gets there bumps and bruises and if they say they haven't they are lying mistakes and accidents happen to the best of us.
I couldn't quite tell if there was space when you had the hood up, but make sure your air cleaner cross over pipes are not rubbing the top rear edge of the valve cover and that they aren't getting cut by the sheet metal going out to the air cleaners. It was fairly common on those to rub through and start sucking dirt.
In New York when they set the bridge height signs they are 12” higher than what the signs say to allow for ice build up in winters. It’s weird but that’s what they did.
Man I just ran across your channel and I subscribed. Cool videos, not a trucker just love the big rigs. Your videos are cool shows what a driver goes the to get the job done. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work and stay safe out there on the road.
As a former trucker who did a LOT of NYC, Boston, Phil as well as Montreal, you have to know that your Peterbilt is NOT set up for city driving. Not only is that wheelbase about 6' too long, but you really need to sit up higher and have overhead vision through your windshield in city driving. In fact, I do believe that your overall length was oversize for NY and PA. FWIW, I did most of my trucking in a C/O with a sleeper. I could get a 53'er into just about any spot with that setup.
Great Ride ✌️😎 The trailer lift reminded me of a paper mill in Canton NC. They have a lift there that lift's the tractor and trailer together to unload wood chips for paper production... Safe Travels... ✌️
Great job. That area around NY/NJ always made me nervous. You had a good plan beforehand, that's what it takes to get in and out of those places. When I started driving that's where I was sent... I guess if you can make it there you can make it anywhere!
Cool video. I go to the Bronx all the time. The signs for the bridges are a foot lower than what they say in New York. They Measure from the center of the hub up. So if a bridge says 12 six it’s really 13 six. If you look in the rand McNally it explains it in the back part of the book with all the DOT regulations
Had Bronx Thursday in my 300” WB 48’ spread step deck. 134th St. and Willow off of the 278. Unlike you my rigger appt. was at 8am during rush hour. Gotta be real creative and aggressive in that area.
Everything you have bolted on that rig makes it harder to do your job!!!! I learned from old timers that your money should be spent under the hood first . Making sure your money maker is rolling !!! Just a thought buddy !!! Good travels to you guys !!! Stay safe and warm !!!
Been off the road for a long time but used to run Chicago nearly every week after teaming to west coast every week. The yard was in S.E. Iowa always finished one man to Milwaukee, Chicago and points east. I remember being forced to give a man a ride about half way to Trenton from Elizabeth because he thought I was lost and insisted on helping me get to the interstate. I had been warned that there was a scam being done to drivers by helping them get out to the interstate but was directing them down dead end roads and then blocking them in the truck while they stole the load off the trailer. Always something new going on. Oh, I forgot to mention he was on the running board of the tractor all that way.lol
ALL BRIDGES AND OVER PASSES IN NEW YORK STATE ARE MARKED ONE FOOT UNDER! I go over the GW every night running liquor loads from Taylor PA to Long Island but starting on the Island
surprised you did'nt have to slide your tandems back to get unloaded. couple warehouses down here in La. wont let you even get on the dock if the tandems aren't all the way back.
They count a foot less for snow and for when they repair the roads. 12'6" is really 13'6". I went under one bridge that was 11' but was tall in the center
The NY Bridge height marking is 1 ft below it's marked height for the snowfall. I remember couple years back in upstate NY I was delivering to some village and came across 3 of these low clearance bridges leading to the entrance of the reciever. Called the rcvr and they tell me it's for snowfall in a way like I was already supposed to know lol
Driving east coast is like working at the morgue, sewage plant, nut house etc, someone has to do it, it is necessary and we are grateful people do it, but most would say, hell no, not me.
I do not understand how anyone could cover up half their windshield with a slab of aluminum and think that makes it safer. field of vision up close just went out another 40 feet.
David Bell-Well, it's not aluminum super trucker, it's stainless steel. And it you've ever driven a hood into the sun, you'd know why. Stick with the Cascadia and pump all the air into your seat.
@@henryhelen09 Laughable, you’re just mad because you’re limited to where you can go with that fugly stainless steel on your rig. I guarantee you’ll get nailed at most scales with a ticket. I laugh at you long nose fools trying to back in to tight spots. Enjoy your square nose fuel guzzler.
Used to work for an International dealer in the hunts point section of the Bronx, you’ve gotta keep your head on a swivel when your driving in the city.
Must have got those sweet potatoes at Cottle in Faison. I live about 40 miles from there. Wish I had known I would have taken a little drive. Enjoy your videos.
I can't remember what the name was now, but it was a cool experience. Never hauled anything like that before. Although I did get screwed over on the delivery. But, I guess that comes with the industry
Im from NC and it’s pronounced meb-ane(ann) just since you were wondering if you said it correctly. Petercar lookin gd inside and out. My hats off to you for going into the Bronx with that bad boy. Only had to go in there once when i was flat bedding
Welcome to my back yard. I happy you got easy traffic then the normal hell. I live on eastern Long Island but I half to go through the city every load. Make you a different driver.
I was delivering in that same area of the Bronx, ran into the same problem with the 12’6” bridge signs. Had to look twice before slamming on the brakes. Scared they hell outta me, and the 4wheelers behind me were probably thinking wtf? Is this his first day driving, dude drives like shit lol
We’re from Wisconsin there don’tcha know. Nice looking truck but the cab looks tight. I need room to stand and stretch without getting out into the winter storms sometimes. Nice video
here in nyc most are marked about a foot less than what they are, some because of the snow and ice and others because they mark them from the sidewalk/curb up.
try delivering in downtown Queens. after my 2 accidents in Queens i never went to NYC again. i avoided it or went around it, if i was routed thru there.
My understanding the yellow clearance signs are about 2' short and the white ones are a foot short....for sure pucker factor first time you see an 11' 6" sign on a "truck route" ....the hammer app does a pretty good job of keeping you from getting messed up in there but DO NOT get under the tram cause it'll say you can turn left or right but the support poles make it impossible so you wind up following the whole thing till you get dumped out by the synagogues
Hey buddy watching from Australia most of our trucks are running B doubles local and interstate and some B triples nice rig love your dog drive safe take care buddy
They must have heard you wanted a flat top trailer too lol still can’t believe you took that long ass truck out there you’re my hero. I had my days running the Bronx and they will have to pay me a fuck ton to go back.
What are the advantages to having the truck stretched? Seems harder to fit in some spots but I don’t know much so thought someone could explain it to me..??! Cheers 🍻
I’ve often wondered that myself… I think it’s more about what it looks like because all I can see is it makes it harder… in the UK the overall length is limited but I believe the US it’s just the trailer. I’ve driven artics (big rigs) in some very difficult places in Europe like London and Paris and it would be impossible in trucks like these! The low seat so you can hardly see over the door and that bloody great big sun visor would drive me crazy…and having to reach above my head to change gear…I just don’t get it if I’m honest but I do love the American trucks! I just don’t understand the way they customise them.. I suppose everyone’s different.
@@PillSharks I do know that in the us we can the stupid visor a “duck bill” or an “angry duck” 😂 and are looked at like a rookie type thing to do though some can pull it off.. and not seeing over the wheel seems a bit difficult as well but who am I to say. Hope all is well out there, cheers 🍻 and stay safe!
@@CycolacFan well European trucks I can speak for but not really American so you could be correct… European tractor units have air suspension on rear axles (some have it in front now). Air suspension mounted cabs and air suspension seats so the comfort level is very high.. ever the axles on trailers are air suspension! All I can see with the longer chassis is a nightmare of a turning circle and close quarter manoeuvring being a nightmare. Another big factor in the Europe is aerodynamics to help MPGs so we try to get the tractor and trailer quite close with air deflectors on the cabs which go down the sides and on top… having that bloody great big gap in between the cab and trailer must cause some drag..it’s basically pulling two front ends through the air!
Welcome to NY trucking. I did it for years. Top Soil to New York City Housing Projects. Never a dull moment. It’s kind of a biggest vehicle has right of way deal.
I drove in NY for a while, in NY state, the height for clearance is measured from the axle up for some unknowable stupid reason. Safe to add a foot to the clearance most of the time.
Driving under the grand concourse it reads 12' 11" because ny measures from the cent of the hub on your wheel. Their 13'11". I run out long island a good bit. Messed me up pretty good the 1st time too
Hey Milkman given you a shout out from Southern Ca. Keep on trucken brother. I hope to see you out there on the road sometime. 👍🇺🇸 I did the Micheals food run from Elizabeth N.J. to Gaylord Mn. Like 3 weeks ago. Drop and hook ld. 👍
I went to hunts point market one time about 45 years ago and vowed not to ever go there again although I ran all over the city during my 50yrs of trucking. I lived in Morristown NJ. for a while running north east during the week an came south loaded to come by home for weekend.

This is epic to know. Thanks for the tip
I was laughed at when I told this in an orientation. By the orientation guy who by the way - once a truck driver.
Dang!! That is awesome info!
I live in New Jersey and drove in New York many times. I was told when I first started driving trucks was that when in New York the yellow signs you are clear. If the signs are white do not go under you will not clear it.
Then you go to Chicago and follow the same rule will make your truck a convertible because they forgot to change their signs after 15 repavements
I think you might need a longer shifter, it's not scraping the ceiling.
I drove my 95 379 in Brooklyn queens Manhattan for 20 years let's just say I don't miss it. However I learned to back my truck into spots people thought were impossible.
Did you hit anything?
@@dopamine261 in my 20 years of driving i never hit anything the only accident I ever had was someone who crashed into me. The only time I ever broke something was on a blindside back my trailer door chain broke and I couldn't see it do it swung closed and got crushed but that was the only significant damage I ever did and that was when I was a newbie. Trust me everyone gets there bumps and bruises and if they say they haven't they are lying mistakes and accidents happen to the best of us.
Great videos for folks to see what truckers go through to get what people need and want in these economies. Thank you.
Nothing Nicer than riding down the street in a Pete.
I remember going to Hunt Point and the Brooklyn Terminal Market twice a week out of Maine in the late 70's, surely don't miss it!
I remember back in the day when crossing the George Washington bridge was $20 an another $20 to get into Hunts Point.
Yo bro saw you at the Walmart DC in Tomah Wisconsin. Truck looks good bro! Was gonna say hey, but I think you were asleep lol
Thanks man! Yeah, it was a long week and was actually happy walmart was taking forever because I wanted to sleep lmao
@@TheMilkMans yeah being on paper longs must be nice lol
I loose my day when they take forever on eld

Wait, you've never unloaded with a pallet jack and fork lift to the ground?! How long have you been trucking?! Todd the retired trucker.

In New York when they set the bridge height signs they are 12” higher than what the signs say to allow for ice build up in winters. It’s weird but that’s what they did.

1:19 broo I felt that 100%. No matter how much sleep ya get, when the sun goes down instantly fatigued 😂
The yellow signs allow you about an extra foot of clearance as opposed to the white signs, which are the exact height that is posted
I was plowing here in pa in that storm on sunday. I just got an 87 mack with a lowboy from the bronx. It took three hours just to get out of the city
7:17 holy guacamole 🥑 lol
Great Ride ✌️😎
The trailer lift reminded me of a paper mill in Canton NC.
They have a lift there that lift's the tractor and trailer together to unload wood chips for paper production...
Safe Travels... ✌️
I have never understood the need or desire for an 8 ft shifter
Also sitting so low that you can barely see over the dash.
Nothing wrong with what he's doing, do you and your responder under you should do him to.
@@mtanyctrainatlantamartatra7164 I do, I just also don't understand and I'm allowed to have my own opinion, if you don't like it, do you
Right on, or a 12foot deck.
For style and looks my man I think it's a cool look
7:18 eyes forward camera man I saw that and yes the view was quite nice😉 sweet truck keep safe out there👍

I used to work for a concrete company right around the corner off Lafayette. Super cool to see this. Keep on Truckin
Worked in the BX for 5 years. I was always told that whatever the bridge says, add 1 ft.
What’s with the stupid big gearstick?
If a bridge height is posted with a yellow sign it is a foot taller than posted height. If its posted with a white sign it's the posted height.
Feels great to pay $22 per axel just to cross a daggone bridge

whats the point of a shifter that tall? i never understood the reason for it
Seen you at the Sapp Bros in Harrisonville, MO.

What is the point of that ridiculous shift lever?
Mostly style but in my opinion taller the shifter the easier to maneuver

Love your channel.
I used to live in the Bronx and my younger brother just got his cdl and is gaining experience with one of the major carriers.

There are different truck heights for the straight box trucks and even smaller one that you dont even need cdl for
Because of the snow bro, NY puts hight on bridges based on snow pack.

Never knew there was a canes in Knoxville and I live here lol the things you learn at 5am on RUclips
For future reference, New York City overpasses are marked a foot lower then what they are, this includes all 5 boros and Long Island as well
Driving under the grand concourse it reads 12' 11" because ny measures from the cent of the hub on your wheel. Their 13'11". I run out long island a good bit. Messed me up pretty good the 1st time too
Musta been Sunday morning crossing the GWB if there was no traffic.
