Looks like a fantastic operation! And everyone looked happy. Did anyone else notice how Chad knew every single employee's name? That may not seem like a big deal but having worked in a big box hardware store (orange), starting at the bottom and eventually becoming an Operations Manager, I can tell you that it is. As an employee I was thrilled that the "Big Boss" knew my name, and as the "Big Boss" I watch employees faces light up when I called them by name.
collar, a persons name is always important to them, I learned that early on in my career, each individual is unique and really appreciates it when the Big Boss calls them by their name !
This is fantastic for me. My son and his wife started liberty trailers from the ground up. Has owned it until about 2 years ago. This is very impressive.
Liberty sandblasts and powder coats. No paint.
I agree with your comment Totally.
The shop floor looks so clean. That is a sign of a safe working environment.
Didn't know what a "Fuel Trailer" was .. now I do .. and this brand is a BEAST, a really nice product !!
Wow What an impressive business as it looks like ya could almost eat off the floors and great equipment and tooling and that place makes me even more proud to be American 👍 Love the trailer DP 💯
GREAT EXAMPLE OF MANUFACTURING PRINCIPALS APPLIED TO BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Sweet Build! CONGRATULATIONS! I didn't notice if you had auxiliary LED lights?
Thanks
Now that is a first class company. You will never regret buying a Thunder Creek product.
I knew in time you would get one. NICE BUY
now thats a trailer
Nice meeting you hope you had a great time in northwest ohio
Impressive operation. How are the separate tanks filled with diesel?
Fill on top
Pella IA? They still have a Happy Joes?
That was impressive 🙂
Now I know where Zach, the actor that plays the Millennial Farmer, got his "THUNDER" from.
Brilliant, what a beautiful trailer, the work that went into that was again brilliant. You got to get that gorgeous wife of yours a mobile home now, to even things up lol XX.
I'm very impressed. A small operation that is as well laid out and operated as any plant . . . and I am a retired engineer.
Engineers aren't all that bright so that doesn't say much
@@jpa1282 Said by a Marketing rep??? (Engineer too here)
Do you guys drive the train through our farm?
That Thunder Creek trailer is sweet Mike. Just about as close to an All in One setup. Thunder Creek's facility streamlined, organized. Looks like they are one of the few companies that still take pride in their work, product. hopefully new setup will serve you well Mike
That’s got to be one of the best informative and entertaining factory tours ! Thunder Creek products look to be really well made they obviously take great pride in their products and customer experience! Your trailer they really have made look one off ! Thanks to all for the video looking forward to seeing you get good use out of the unit ! :)
Someone put a lot of thought into the layout of that factory , and the design of those trailers , very impressive . Now if you could get one of their rolling frames and have a DOT Bear built camper put on top of it , Miss Jenna would be all set , except for the truck to pull it !
by far this was the best factory tour iv ever seen.you did a great job, all the important questions.so cool seeing how the company has grown.
Yes and he let the guy talk
What a great operation!
Good management skills knowing all the employees names, too.
That was flat-out awesome. Those guys appear to have thought of everything you can add to a system. And that floor layout/process flow was one of the best I've ever seen.
Dp well done on a new trailer for the equipment it will sure make life easier now. Next thing you need to do is organise a new camper for Mrs DP but do it in prank form( like take her for a trip to truck&track and have it in a shop so you can surprise her) .
Thanks Mike and Jenna for the amazing tour of Thunder Creek. God Bless and Good Health.
Very nice place and products, Made in the USA .
Nice - but are you going to let Captain Kleeman (aka - the destroyer) near it???? Sorry mate - but it has to be said.....
Looks absolutely awesome good functionality except one thing and maybe this is an option you're carrying around all that diesel and it's powered by a gasoline motor? There must be some diesel motor that could be used with this rig! Which is a big drawback the whole thing is useless without that motor running. Now what about that compressor generator in the back is it run by gasoline also or is it diesel? You've got what 690 gallons of diesel and you can't get it out without carrying around a gas can which you have to remember to fill? And I do believe the way the laws are written that it is illegal for you to carry even a gallon of gas inside that trailer. I do believe that this is one very necessary and convenience item would be that it's powered by a small diesel motor. You all tell me where I'm wrong here? Otherwise it's awesome and I guess as long as you fill the gas can every time you fill the trailer with diesel I guess you're all right?
That was my same question, why haul diesel around and run out of gasoline!!
Thanks, Mike for showing us the Pella, Iowa facility. It is noteworthy, I think, to notice "The Man" not only knows his business but also appears that he knows his employees on a first name and on sight basis. This isn't a small operation yet it certainly is running like a "hometown business". We take pride in our Iowa roots and the way we do business. Thanks again Mike, this was a very interesting video!
Agree
Impressive operation! 1) Cleanliness, 2) Layout and flexibility (in particular, the welding rigs mounted on swingarms), 3)Safety (see 1 and 2), 4) The integration of manual and robotic fabrication, and 5) Employee morale and satifaction! First class! PS Was the marketing guy one of T&T Todd's relatives? 😉😉
The word has already been used a lot in this video, but I'm here to tell ya: It really fits: Awesome trailer, from an awesome company. I've manufactured Automotive OEM parts for the last 50 years and I've seen a lot of factories. These folks run a tight ship! Great video and kudos to Thunder Creek for the tour! Thanks Mike and Jen! Lee
Oh Wow! They've sure got it goin on... I used to hand torch cut fabricated fire truck chrome parts but for a long time did all manner of truck equipment mfg welding. Thunder Creek looks like it's a great place to work.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings. 😉👍🇺🇲
(Next trlr should be for the Bride 🤔⚘️)
Nice looking setup DP ! 👍👍👍👍 I wonder if they have a gps tracking option to minimize theft from a job site ?
Can you imagine trying to hide a rig like that if you did take it.
How about Mrs Dirt Perfects CAMPER?.will she get one.🤔
Please just buy the woman a camper already!
Wow what a great operation that has personal pride in every part of production! Thunder Creek truly has built upond good old family values and it shows in the final product! I wish them only the best in their future and sure ready to see you using this system to it's fullest as you usually always do! Thanks for sharing
I didn't even know something like that existed........ Don't let Captain Kleeman anywhere near it
@50:47
Mrs. DP. There’s still hope for a camper yet.
Great episode, Mike!! When you stopped by Wes's shop of the "Watch Wes Work" channel you absolutely blew me away with your interview skills. Wes is a wizard in many disciplines but a man of few words who rarely allows his viewers more than a limited unddrstanding of what makes him tick.
Your interview with Wes answered so many questions about him, his training, background and a view of the man that one could assume but you made it easy for him to just be himself.
I think you should be scheduling more 'rainy day' interviews as you have a way of bringing the true stars of You Tube out of their channel creator persona and coax out the genuine people we admire.
ooo grassworks is also a powerlift door maker/installer basically it's a hydraulic door as big as you want anyway you may want to look into that or not i don't know just saying
Wow................. that was great, from the family owners, managers, and staff to the surgery like cleanliness of the Thunder Creek factory, super efficiently producing amazing stuff..... - you just got to get Gunner earning his pocket money by giving the new trailer a weekly wash and polish now .... lol! Well done Mike, and I'm sure just like Zach over at Millennial Farmer, you will have a great addition to your business for many trouble-free years to come.
normally i watch first thing in morning but got busy lol now i say like grandma use to say dang it i messed my shows lol only mind not soaps lol nice place oooo look up grassworks weed wiper all in house there too for weed control long as it ain't raining they can work
Thanks for the tour ! Awesome facilities great for are American workers!
Hey Mike, I'm just happy you found Jenna and she's so willing to walk with you where ever you decide to go. You're a lucky guy!
Very well built piece of equipment and it brings what you need where you need it.. and I thought that the 210 and Bubba (not to mention the Tak) would be your favorite new toys this year but something tells me this could really be a time saver when it comes time to fuel and service the other big kid toys... You may have an LD18 turning a little green with envy.. he was cursing his fuel tank out just a few weeks ago on the 5 acre pond build because he kept having to go back home and get more fuel for his equip.. not to mention the greasing and other...
Should make things easier!👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome trailer! What a great facility and company. I’d say that anyone in the market for a fuel toter should consider Thunder Creek trailers first. 👍
I really wish i had known about them about 3 months ago when i was ordering a fuel trailer at my work. Ended up going with a fuelpro one and the thunder creek looks much better designed and thought out. Will be purchasing another fuel trailer next year so i will certainly be in contact with them. Do we get a discount for mentioning your channel? lol
Agree and much nicer and not for sure but worth a try
Great video Mike loved the factory set up what a switched on business! Looking forward to seeing the trailer in action, cheers for now mate
This is a far better factory tour episode that any "made for tv" version.
Lots of in depth explanations of various steps in the process of manufacturing those fuel trailers than you'd see in the others.
Then there's the factor their trailers are made here in America from American made parts.
No cheap Chinese crap.
Thanks Mike for the tag a long tour.
Thanks
Beautiful addition to the fleet. Great tour Jenna and Mike. Thanks for the time.
That's an impressive clean set up! I like it.
There's only a couple of things that would be changed for us in GB, more flash screens between stations and the guy welding in a sleeveless shirt! Big no no! No matter how hot or uncomfortable it is.
Wow! That is one heck of a well thought out quality product. Congratulations DP!
nice to see the missus in one of your vids... Gotta love the 'tapdancing'!!!
That was much more interesting than I expected. I love seeing companies that put such pride and quality into their products.
Hello Mr. and Mrs. Dirt Perfect, Fantastic video! very well produced. You need to hire the camera person used for this video full time. Everything was very well shot! Keep up the great productions.
That’s a very very cool looking trailer you got there dirt perfect
Very well built heavy duty trailers and tanks and their quality records prove it. And well organized and very clean Another Awesome Video
7:13 ''which will be on the trailer YOU ARE RECIEVING...'' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! DP GETtn a THUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR WAGOOOOOOOOOOON~!! :)
GOT??? heck I gotta check my fakebook lol ace, not ack... but eh don't need ads for it...
By the way (good morning) a great start to the day and with a cup of coffee ☕
This is a great factory tour. Great communication.
45:00 "We've got a lot of customers voting for our product". I like that statement. It's important that consumers take into consideration where a product is made and make buying decisions accordingly.
WOW, Thunder Creek is absolutely an outstanding company and very proud of their product they manufacture. Thanks Dirt Perfect for showing all of us what you needed for your business.
Now there’s no excuses you have everything you need
About 60 years ago I worked in a metal fabricating shop. This place is STAR WARS compared to my old shop. However, 5 years ago I visited my old shop and nothing has changed. They're still doing things the same way we did 60 years ago. I recognized many of the same machines I had run back then. They had a few more modern machines but not many and they still going strong with twice as many employees without the millions of dollars investment in tooling. Old ways die hard. I guess the shop will outlast me - it's already outlasted all the other guys I worked with back then. I kinda liked that for some reason.
Great business with great people making a great PRODUCT!!!! And Mike I’m with you… BEST LOOKING TRAILER ON UTUBE!!
Coffees on!! Enjoying!!Cheers!!;-)! Great Walk About!! :-)!!! Well done ,Well said!!;-)!
What a exciting tour ⁉️ Ripper manufacture by DP scouting ❓
Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands🇳🇱 .
a very nice thunder trailer and completely in your colors and logo too.
BUT Mike you realize that you MUST give Mrs.Dirt a good tidy camper now haha .
#Mrs.Dirt-Perfect-Camper 😂😂 .
#Aaronback 😉 .
thanks for the video .
Sincerely, Hollandduck 🇳🇱🦆
Mike, this was a great video. Very informative and interesting to watch. They make a great looking product that seems like it will serve you well into the future. I'm excited for you and the guys. However you better get to working on getting Jenna's camper or you may be sleeping in that extra room in the generator compartment. Hahaha 🤣
GREAT Video Mike, The factory tour was absolutely awesome !! I sure Aaron will be impressed with the Behind The Scene activities that when into manufacturing your new acquisition to the fleet ! Now you gotta start working overtime so Mrs. DP can get her camper ! LOL
that is a sweet setup! the only thing i would change is having a small diesel engines tho, like a KUBOTA! lol yanmar makes a 6 hp and up single cylinder diesel engine too.. there factory is top notch! very impressive
That's an awesome trailer. And a wonderful manufacturer of them. I love the fact that they are so concerned about the quality that goes into their products.
Вражає високопрофесійна здатність Американців при виготовленні простих і геніально продуманих речей які потребують люди в бізнесі і побуті. Майк, ви відкрили мені вікно до прекрасного людяного ставлення виробників до користувачів їхньої продукції. Це хороший приклад іншим компаніям,особливо в Україні, з якої видаляється фальшивий "руський світ".
I was very impressed How Clean the Plant was…. And How Quiet it seemed…. And the Solar Power that’s keeping the Battery charge. Now for your little Extra Touch Ups.
But the Logo’s are looking Great. Good Luck and Hopefully 🙏 your Wife will gets Hers Next Year. Be Safe
A Interesting Excursion in a Firm what Thank for Truck in all Dimension to Produce! What is for sundry Firm with building Machine (Excavator Dozer and...) in the free Nature Workt. How You!
A Video from great Interesting for Insider!
Greeting from 🇦🇹
This is an excellent example of quality starting at the door. This isn't a one horse operation, and it is an example of why quality cost more but the equipment are built to last. Thank You DP for taking us along on your tour and seeing a product that built our country...
Seeing Thunder Creeks Facility and understanding it's roots and growth reminds me strongly of the business my cousin and her husband started in South Dakota. From a dairy farm and a hobby they built an Auto Recycling business. Ultimately it grew like Thunder Creek to the point that they now lease the farmland (as much as isn't being used by the recycling business) and kept adding buildings to accommodate the growth. Today it's a first class business being run by their son who has recently joined the executive committee of the Auto Recyclers Association. Family and pride are a big part of their business as well. Their buildings are clean, well lit and organized. Automation plays a big part in the business.
what cracking trailers THUNDER CREEK MAKE AND A VERY GOOD ORGANISED FACTORY FROM JPS / UK
You'll need to come down to South Central Louisiana (St Martin, Iberia, Vermillion, St Mary parishes/county) and participate in a Sugar Cane Farmer's Ag-Day. All the sugar cane farmers are looking for Service Trucks for their inhouse Mechanics & fuel trailers
You can see, this manager is besides the CFO, most of all CEO, keeping enough material in stock to keep the business running by means of having the material and processed stock up to date. With that, the business "doesn't run out" and causes delay's in producing an delivering.
Remember,, and this is for all those "smart A..s CFO's": "No-stock-is-no-invoice" and "no satisfied customer".
A "not-satisfied" customer is the worst "thing" a company can get, so to all CFO's: get the investments in order to save te company for the future and not the financial result of this year!!! There will be no "next-year".
I must say, an very nice structured company, even Mrs. Perfect must like it.
I could leave my dad (died to early) in this company, you'll had to drag him out at the end of the day, so impressive.
That "Trained Robot" is a nice remark.
Immaculate facility, pride in their work, quality product, American flags hanging around the shop.
My kind of place.
That is one impressive business. I wish we could bring a lot of our mfg. back to the USA, and run it like this. We'd build the best products in the world. Maybe we'd quickly learn, or re-learn, that
the nickel you saved buying from China or elsewhere really costs more in the long run. Pay US workers to take US mfrd. supplies and build an actual Made in the USA final product. What it would do for the country economy-wise would be amazing. And "fixing" (firing) the asshats we now have in our federal government would be icing on the cake!
I am laughing at Jenna, she keeps trying to move because she thinks she is in all Mikes shots as he is panning his camera around during the tour! LOL Stay put girl, we dont mind seeing you in the video, heck, were used to seeing NYA and MBTS , so you are a WELCOMED sight!!! HAHA
What a great beautiful fuel trailer. A great asset to your company DP.
What an amazing tour of the company.
A nice and tidy company.
Also nice to see that the boss knew his staff by name.
Wish you and the people who work for you a lot of work fun with this fuel trailer.
greetings from the Netherlands / Friesland.
Awesome video Mike! What an outstanding organization Thunder Creek is. Your new trailer is sweet! I look forward to seeing it in action in your future videos. 👍👍
An in depth look at a well run operation. I saw quality being built in by conscientious competent focused workers proud of their products. Thanks, Mike! I hope you got a great discount!
I would have never thought that much work went into a fuel tank trailer. I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, great video and American made product. Made by family orientated people. Who could ask for more. Oh wait get Jenna a camp trailer. Lol God bless
My first job was as an apprentice welder at a tank factory. We built under ground fuel tanks from sheet steel to 20000 gal fuel tank. The inside of our building was not big enough to build the tank inside so we worked outside in the hot summer sun. At the end of the summer of 1964 I joined the Navy to get away from building tanks.
This is a great video Michael and Jenna, thanks for taking us along on the manufacturing tour, it was awesome. That is a very impressive manufacturing setup that they have there. I really like where that they build everything that they can right there on site. And that is a very well made fuel-service trailer that they manufacturer there . And they sure put a quality paint job, on it too . It's going to be a great addition to your company and make a lot of things convenient for you all . I am really impressed by the trailer setup and ability to do different things . I am hoping that you both had a great trip going to get the trailer . That was a great interview that you did Michael and you and Jenna did a great job filming the video . I hope that the trailer gives you many years of great service . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe out there driving and operating the equipment .
🤗👍❤️💫
Do they come heated? At negative 40 temperature. A Lazer? to easy. I will give you 2grand for labor. They rather spend 1 million on machine than pay 25 Plus an hour. Those robots are not that hard to run you better be paying them 25 Plus an hour to do the robot welding .
Fantastic fuel rig.
How long before capt. Kleeman trashes it?
Buy that woman a camper. She deserves it!
Good Show Old Chap ! Really liked the Video ! Thanks for Sharing . Thunder !!!
BRILLIANT .... that is definitely how to do it ... Excellent Video !!
You have done moved up to the big time, very nice and thanks for the factory tour, it was very interesting. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Look like great service/fuel trailers, but a couple of "design" questions. Why is the fuel filter burred in what looks like the middle of the control area, and up high where fuel could get on everything rather than low and on the outer permiter? Also Why Gas powered engine and not Diesel powered? Now you have to have/carry a gas can to be sure you can get fuel, air, etc...
There is a lot going in that trailer .very impressed at the build quality this company should be proud to show this stuff off .Great video thanks Mike
Put a mattress in the toolbox spot and she can go along to the job and camp out while you work. 😂😂😂 If you suggest this you better find a good lawyer.😂😂😂
Mike , please buy the camper for Mrs.D P before the kids grow up and no longer want to go camping . Take it from this old man , time really does fly .
When I I saw the bright light from the weld…all I could hear was MBTS saying “eyeballs”.lol
