I had a similar situation with a car warranty. Long story short, I had to pay out of pocket upfront and then take them to small claims court. Judge instantly ruled in my favor once I showed proof of repairs. Unless you get a bad judge, 99% will rule in your favor. Also, I did this based on the advice of an attorney fwiw so the laws in your state my be different.
Walmart is always looking for drivers especially during this lockdown. Shit I’ve been looking for toilet paper for about a month here in Washington state. It sells out within an hour after arriving at stores.
You can deliver bread or coke or a type of drinks to keep the income coming in. Amazon and stuff is good to keep money coming in. Also you won’t be having to sleep places and stuff.
Hey brother !! Sorry to hear about the work slowing down for you !! Trying looking into ADL trucking they always have loads going. Their refer as well.. Good luck my friend and stay safe!!😎😎
Sorry about your situation. Have you ever thought about driving for Walmart they have great benefits even though you may not be able to use your own truck or oil/hazmat transport
Eric Wilson I keep thinking about that too. Canada has called out their militia, sounds like they might know something we don’t.....what the hell is happening..
I really like how change those gears like a pro that is a great perspective view better than those other truckers out there be safe out there i love how that turbo sound especially jake braking.
I find it very awesome how the European vs American trucking world is so different. the trucks in Europe are smaller and have a flat nose and u don't own your own trucks at least for most drivers. Usually u just get a truck from your company and u put your card into a machine and drive it until u are finished.
Great video so far! Sorry to here about you not getting loads. Also for the repaint I would do the fenders in blue to match your gauges and interior color.
@@TruckerAK just day in the life type stuff. Tour of vehicle, work around the house, running errands etc. It will at least keep your content flowing while works slow. Stay safe and good luck 👍👍
that really seems shady that the guy that sold you the head isnt working there anymore, AND that the place on the receipt isnt even a place! its pretty stupid too that you have to send that head back too. on a side note ,i like your toolbox!🤘
I love you bruh keep going, you're amazing and i really love the contenent i actually enjoy every single seconde in this video also the sound of the turbo in that engine ooh my god it feels really good / just be happy #give me loads 😅
You should do a live stream while out on a long haul. Many stay at home people are on live streams to chat and adds subscribers. At least your stream the scenery changes and others online are just empty streets. Just a thought..
Why don't u change work m8 seriously I work in the UK & won't touch containers as u call them it's just to much of a bother m8... Keep your head up m8 work will come flooding back.
You already got your hazmat...go get your tanker and start hauling fuel and chem that what im transferring over to from otr because i want to be home every night
I dont understand I am a lease purchase and my frieght hasn't stopped and is still paying very well mega carriers have all the frieght and contracts that protect our rates I'm averaging 1.84 per miles after they take the cut from it ... I did pull 2 loads last week at 1.24 but they gave every driver 600.00 two weeks in a row so it all worked out , if they give me a load that pays low on the board they will add 100.00 or what ever to keep you at a good rate . I have had zero issues during this pandemic involving freight
Hey buddy are you sure its the head? let me know reason I ask is those heads are rare for them to go out ofcourse theres still "warranty" but just let me know I understand you cant afford it, but im a mech, I see alot of O/O get screwed for misdiagnosis im just curious how the diagnosis went, because if i was the mechanic, I would put 30PSI through the CAC and unbolt all valve rockers to make SURE 100 % theres no leaks thats the way you would find out if it was the turbo, valve guides, or worse piston rings but just a word of thought enjoy all your vids let me know if you need any help! Cheers!
thank you for the help! Well the thing is when we took the turbo off there was no oil in the turbo nor the flex pipe where it normally leaks at idle the only place we saw oil was when we took the manifold off and on the valves themselves thats why i think its the head personally
Ooohk I see, another question, might seem stupid but what viscosity oil are you running? Reason I ask alot of backyard mechanics down here recommend mystik oil "because supposedly its thicker and its better for long mileage engines to close up the gap for worn rings" look it up i think its 15-50 or something like that but had a guy once come into my shop recently overhauled detroit DDEC V to be exact with EGR the mechanic he took it to broke it in with 15-50 mystik well after 15k miles he was still burning oil and getting unusual amounts of blowby, was traumatized well long story short changed the oil to recommended visocity, in the manual it says 15-40 doesnt matter what brand just has to be 15-40 put a lucas in there and stopped burning oil and blowby went away I was amazed thats when I learned its real important what oil you use especially detroits they are real sensitive about that dont mean to be up in your business but just curious lol its part of being a better mechanic evolving and always learning, and of course to help people out, hope you get it going, thanks!
shit bro hard time I have one contract but you will have to do a security check and have an open carry primate and carry Exsposve loads cat 4 and you will have to drive my trucks as they are fitted for them loads or if you are not keen to try travaloko or hire a van and hit up D.A.T load solution
Yes my dad is looking for work else where his boss said they were not hauling any other fraether but what they be hauling so hey looking for a new work to somewhere else
Im guessing a lot of plants are shut down or running on low capacity and the mega-carriers got the contract jobs, guessing also the freight is being moved by walmart, target etc. with in house trucks..
Tola Trucking why I haven’t missed a day. There are plenty of loads from border of Mexico that go north and plenty of loads from the north that go to the border.
How is that you speak for the whole industry? Suspect... Plenty of drivers out there doing well. Keep your head up, make good decisions, and keep on trucking!
Yeah ..we truckers can't answer simple yes or no questions and we lie about three things miles money and pxxxy when we are not bitching on the cb .. or at least I do ..
TMC. Warren. Kaiser transport. There is a guy on here you could reach out to named Donner Livingstone who does youtube trucking and he works for kaiser transport

The driver's perspective is better than any other angle, stick with it

TruckerAK, look into Long Haul Trucking. You can be home every weekend depending on how you run and where you go
I have tons of loads if you ever leave the ports. About one daily from TX- Miami
Hang in there, dont be afraid to switch it up definitely a lot of BS with containers
Been a company driver for 31 years (same company) and I'm now on 6 week voluntary furlough due to the light work schedule. Everywhere is hurting.
Damn man
@@TruckerAK Detroit area, BTW
I am so sorry that the trucking community is getting hurt, stay safe bro.
Sucks about the head situation and the lack of loads, hope all works out for you AK
Landstar? Choose all your own loads? Idk try it. Look in to it
Your home vlogs have some good potential AK. Also good luck with the work... I hear you I work in the trades and have been home about a month now
Think so would do you think people would like to see from home vlogs

Another company you could check out is Triple Crown Logistics they might be around your area. They hire owner ops
Good luck finding a company, and stay safe

Luis maybe for company truckers but not the people with containers.

Beautiful truck. Real smooth!!!
HEY BROTHER,If You don't mind me asking. How much is the DOT Inspection? THANKS!!!
BE SAFE OUT ON THE ROADS!!!
The inspection was free. The company pays for the inspection bud
It's around 150$ for truck and trailer

Quick question, as an owner operator where do you get your permits, is it as thick as the companies book permits and how much do you pay for them
also Caribbean Shipping out of Jax has good work
Yes my dad is looking for work else where his boss said they were not hauling any other fraether but what they be hauling so hey looking for a new work to somewhere else

You guys should see the 53f reefer market :D we had a rude awakening this week, prices all around to and from all zones down by 50% or more..
milkshake1993 why?
Because no one is going in “droves” to the grocery stores it’s going to get real fun👎🏻

You are not alone suffering
The whole world is
I've been parked since 4/1
Tola Trucking why I haven’t missed a day. There are plenty of loads from border of Mexico that go north and plenty of loads from the north that go to the border.
Try Kroger’s or some kind of grocery company.
Try to haul fed ex and Purolator or ups trailers
18:22 I've been to that area in Jacksonville exactly a year ago.
AK liking this style vlog
Glad you like it
Trucker AK hell yea bro it reminds me when I was a little kid going with my dad in his truck love the way Semi Trucks sound

Put a cat in it. When you get the old engine fixed sell it off. Not that it's that simple or easy, but you'd be doing pretty good if you could.
Ya, just like that! Put a cat in it.
Joseph Jakubec lol right🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
whats your usual trailer length?
60ft normally with a 40 reefer
Sorry to hear AK What's the problem with the head, dude probably sold you a rebuilt head.
I can’t wait till I turn 21 to start trucking 🤦🏽♂️
Trucking isn't like it use to be dont get to excited
who buys cheap buys twice thats how it works
I would think it would be booming.
try to find a company with a van to pull some relief loads or something cha ching
The prices on those are garbage best I had all week was 1.46 a mile. 1.00 or less out of Cleveland ohio.
Also man if your wanting to get into trucking do it. I'm 22 and best decision I've made so far
