Good luck with the new sort of old truck! The tanks polish up very nice. The trucks profile is a good one for sure. Paccar engines aren't much to look at but if you get a couple more clicks for your gallons then you've got a game changer. Take it easy now! Cheers!
The new truck is obviously CARB compliant, so that's why you can start operating in California again? How does that greaseless 5th wheel work (that was before my time) ? Did you have to clean all the grease off of the king pin and the contact surface of the trailer? Now I learned this the hard way. You want to stay out of trouble in any State in the country? Come to a complete full Stop at all Stop signs and white painted Stop lines on the pavement at all State scale houses! 38 year veteran Driver who learned the trade thanks to a 3 year active duty hitch in the US Army. Thank you for your service to our country Driver.
I'm a peterbuilt person but at walmart our yard got half Petes and half freightliner I wound up with a Cascadia and the room was unbelievable it was a great truck but I hated the super singles but the Cascadia turned out much nicer than the Petes but enjoy
Truck looks good and it is good to hear from you again. Have been concerned not seeing you was disappointing too. Glad to know all is well Dan. Have a Great Safe Labor Day you and Teresa. Hope to hear from you soon, Happy Trails....
Next major purchase: one of them der fancy truck sheds :) Having lived in AZ, working on vehicles during the day is a chore. Making sure all metal objects get placed in the shade, especially. You only make that mistake once.
Thanks for the tour Dan, always enjoy watching your video's...... Your a real what you see is what you get kind of guy, this world needs more people like you.
Just got time to watch the video super trucker Dan good luck with the new truck I still say it would look better with a cow trailer behind it 😎😎 be safe out there and thank for the video from Paris Texas God bless you
Lovely wagon mate, don't know you but you sure are a nice man and a very hard worker. Please keep doing your video blogs, they are fantastic, I'm a retired truck driver from Scotland so I know how hard the job is. I suppose it's a lot different than the UK but it's still a very hard job to try and make a buck. All the best with your new wagon. Johnny
Nice video! First things first at the beginning. Nice touch. A very enjoyable tour. You accomplished a lot in a short time. This is a great set up. The beginning of an exciting chapter. Congratulations on this new beginning.
Like the new truck. Keep up the good work... looks like the fuel savings alone will make your truck payment for you. Hey... when you were in Artesia NM you were just 30 miles from me in Carlsbad NM! I think that is the 2nd time that I recall you being in this neck of the woods!!!!! Best wishes!!!
Living in AZ, that should help your load availability especially go to and from home. Love that you put up the "Hi Theresa" sign up. Safe travels!!!!!! thanks for the vids...
Thank you for the video Dan, just when I had the yellow pages open to the nearest rehab clinic here you come with our fix. looking forward to more of them. Safe travels heading east across the country.~david~
Will you be putting your old 379 fenders onto this truck? If you're going to make this truck look good meaning getting some lug nuts and hub covers, I would recommend getting some lug nuts that screw on instead o the cheap ones the just pop on or off!
"Working outside in the dirt"? You crazy man! In 100 degrees? Ye gods! You should get yourself a steel frame and some old tarps or similar and make yourself a tent roof to work in the shade. Big enough to get the truck under but without sides to allow the breeze to get in. You DO get a breeze don't you? :-) The other thing which occurred to me concerns your mudflaps. Here in the UK I see tipper trucks from time to time. Most of them are eight-wheeler rigids (straight trucks) and since they are going into building sites and the like pretty frequently they have their flaps fitted with a little chain to keep them bent backwards slightly. I've never asked them why but I'd guess it's to prevent the flap being pushed against the tyres. I don't know what your US construction and use rules are but I thought it might be an idea to help prevent you ripping the supports off the chassis! Good luck with the new truck! Keep those videos coming please.
SZretired we we have I don't need a great great grandfather was in a grammar eeeeewt t Headn to to to get into after 10years of driving a truck driver who was was was was in a clean e coboost and get a job pull rrereeewwwwwwwwweweeewweeeeeewwewewwweeeeewwww rrereeewwwwwwwwweweeewweeeeeewwewewwweeeeewwww to work work work work
Good to have you back with your videos Dan,I noticed the fan seems to be on more than the one on the cat,was it the weather or just being newer motor and needed to run to keep cool?On the rear of the cab on the top corners,I didn't see the reflection tape ,Kansas gave a warning ticket for not having it on my Freightliner?Happy Trucking.
Great looking truck thanks for showing me round is your CB am or fm we use fm over here in the uk with a maximum power of just 4 watts I have a burner on mine what happens to your dog? Do you take him in your new truck thanks Dan for showing me around the truck will you keeping your old truck or selling it on all the best for now from Barry in the uk
Sharpe ride. How many years did you serve, how do you like the Paccar engine so far, how is the air ride front axle. I'm also an Army vet and since I had to quit driving I got lucky and hired on at a VA hospital in Tn. : )
Dan ...thanks for all the videos...I was wondering if you had considered mounting the generator on the trailer instead of the trucks frame?I assume it would take another fuel tank as well.Or would that be too much hassle?
Great videos. I like the new truck. I drive for Mercer too and I love it. (16603). Question, what brand and model is your dash cam? I used the one I got from Mercer but i ran into problems with it. Hopefully I will see you on the road. Keep up the great videos.
Another great vid! What kind of fuel mileage did you get pulling from El Centro to Tucson? Why could you not have gotten the load from Cali with the old truck? Something to do with our dumb Cali regs??? Stay safe and enjoy your new ride!
Hope everything is well! Not sure if I missed it or not, but have you decided on who is going to be the lucky pet traveling with ya first, Kali (My apologies if I have misspelled) or Bella?!!
Not sure if being Cali legal is a good thing. Roads suck, traffic sucks, and right now half the state is on fire. Look forward to the trip across country. Stay Safe
Bam Boozled it's called that because if you get in an accident or Sudden stop it stops the Load from coming through the Cab and Hitting You in the Head! Giving one Hell of a Headache!!!
Is a shame the headache rack covers up the loading lights in the back of the cab. Drilling all them holes in the new truck will make it lighter too, LOL.... Lets not have this big break between videos again, LOL.....
Watch and love your videos for the past 9 years, sorry I don't comment much or thumbs up, You are a very Special guy, and thank you for all you do.
Don't worry about not posting! We understand that you have to do what you have to. Good luck with the new truck! Save travels.

You better get hustling! We've been on the edge of our chairs waiting to hear from you. :-)
Coming from the Northwest where it rains a lot I love California for its' weather.
Glad to see you getting back in the grove. hope the new truck does you well.
I like that the interior is light compare with the old truck.
The first 45 seconds was all we needed to see Dan. Everything else was bonus footage. Thanks for sharing 😎

Dan, would make a great truck sales person.
The truck is looking good. Hope you don't regret not mounting the generator and AC unit. It has been really hot in the USA recently.
The truck is lookin real good

If they have not been replaced yet it would be wise to replace the air compressor coolant lines.
Good to see you back on the road. Love the Truck!

Thanks for watching
Looking forward to the new adventures, Dan.
Welcome back Dan. Missed the awesome videos, congrats on the new truck. Looking forward to more adventures.
Great video mate, glad to see u back

looking forward to more of them. Safe travels heading east across the country.~david~
I'd kill for a load like that! Be safe and enjoy!
Just started to watch your videos, here in Australia we don't get many peterbelt trucks they are to long for us to use here... Cheers from Australia
Hello Dan truck looks good
Proud of you brother
Keep at it
See you on the road soon
Safe travels or as they say in Thailand chok dee means good luck
nice job fabricating the brackets
Nice truck.
So far, so good. When you move the generator over are you going to move your mirrors over too? You can never have enough mirrors on a big rig truck.
Will you be putting your old 379 fenders onto this truck? If you're going to make this truck look good meaning getting some lug nuts and hub covers, I would recommend getting some lug nuts that screw on instead o the cheap ones the just pop on or off!
NICE SHIRT!
Nice to see your truck updated. Are you still glad you bought it regardless of all the stress and work in the heat?
Great intro! Nice shirt too.

Callie is going to have to sit in the passenger seat to see anything unless you put windows in the sleeper doors.

which puppy you gonna carry this time Dan? Good to have you back to work...
That was me Dan. The "V" notch will save you a headache.
You're coming up on 8 Thousand subscribers.

Good luck with that PACCAR engine
Good stuff!
Nice video an I'm going to miss the sound of that cat C15 getting up to speed
Me too. The Cat sounded really good with the distinct turbo whistle and rumble when getting up to speed. Your new truck looks really nice.
Were you pleased how the truck ran for you
Great looking truck thanks for showing me round is your CB am or fm we use fm over here in the uk with a maximum power of just 4 watts I have a burner on mine what happens to your dog? Do you take him in your new truck thanks Dan for showing me around the truck will you keeping your old truck or selling it on all the best for now from Barry in the uk
I suppose Mercer might give you a lot more of these runs with the newer truck?
Sharpe ride. How many years did you serve, how do you like the Paccar engine so far, how is the air ride front axle. I'm also an Army vet and since I had to quit driving I got lucky and hired on at a VA hospital in Tn. : )
Dan i notice your d.e.f. tank in the passenger side? Most truck have it on driver side and most pumps are on driver side for d.e.f. ???
What camera do you use inside of the truck lookin To start blogging for a car hauler
Glad to see the note up 👍 remember Rome wasn't built in a day 👌
What do most drivers prefer? The eight wheels and tires setup you have or four supersingles?
I'm curious, how are you filling the DEF with the tank on the wrong side. I wondered if you would rig up a filler line to the correct side.
Dan ...thanks for all the videos...I was wondering if you had considered mounting the generator on the trailer instead of the trucks frame?I assume it would take another fuel tank as well.Or would that be too much hassle?
How big of an issue will the generator mounting be? I know there will be an inverter put in mine soon.
Great videos. I like the new truck. I drive for Mercer too and I love it. (16603). Question, what brand and model is your dash cam? I used the one I got from Mercer but i ran into problems with it. Hopefully I will see you on the road. Keep up the great videos.
What is the horse power on your new truck, it's nice. You take care out there.
Another great vid! What kind of fuel mileage did you get pulling from El Centro to Tucson? Why could you not have gotten the load from Cali with the old truck? Something to do with our dumb Cali regs??? Stay safe and enjoy your new ride!
This maybe premature, but do you notice any improvement in fuel consumption?
Hope everything is well! Not sure if I missed it or not, but have you decided on who is going to be the lucky pet traveling with ya first, Kali (My apologies if I have misspelled) or Bella?!!
Not sure if being Cali legal is a good thing. Roads suck, traffic sucks, and right now half the state is on fire.
Look forward to the trip across country.
Stay Safe
I agree with that we are getting smoke from all the fires in the Bay Area right now
How does that new rig feel , is California diesel more expensive. How does the new power unit feel under the hood . Dave
Hi Dan , silly question , why is it called a "headache rack" ?
Bam Boozled it's called that because if you get in an accident or Sudden stop it stops the Load from coming through the Cab and Hitting You in the Head! Giving one Hell of a Headache!!!
Do you have any washing or toilet (bathroom) facilities on this truck?
Truck looks good but its not a EXT Hood
Cominustfornia..... The log book killer.
Did you get to keep your old tractor company number or is 12532 a new number?
Is a shame the headache rack covers up the loading lights in the back of the cab.
Drilling all them holes in the new truck will make it lighter too, LOL....
Lets not have this big break between videos again, LOL.....
How does the new truck shift, Dan?
Are you still taking Bella or Cali dog with you in the new truck?
Nice video Dan. Was the ability to run California your primary motivation for the new truck or a combination of things?
Where in new york ?
What accident camera are you using? Thx
