Laura is that rare gem of a person who has a thoroughly positive attitude about everything that she does or learns how to do. You can't teach anyone how to have that attitude, but people who have that attitude can learn and do anything. Her smile goes all the way through. She just sparkles.
I have 20 years of trucking experience, the reason why the trailer brake was not working correctly was because you had the hand brake engaged. I would not recommend using the hand brakes unless you are having an emergency. But you are definitely doing a great job. Wishing y’all a wonderful and prosperous year! Love watching your videos.
I agree w-hacksaw on your problem with your trailer brakes popping out when you release your brakes. Your hand brake should have a release that returns the handle to the released setting, I would suggest that you learn how and when to use the hand valve properly. if you use the hand valve by itself you are using the trailer brakes only to stop your vehicle, which means if you do it long enough your brakes wear out prematurely on the trailer, now when you use your foot pedal to stop your brakes may have uneven breaking with the tractor doing more breaking than the trailer. tell Grant or you may call me and I can explain it better if you like
Absolutely correct Sir.
You two are a true American Treasure. The best of luck to you two.
My 21 year old got his CDL right out of high school. Has spent the last couple years pulling a three axle lead gravel trailer (and occasionally a train). Enjoys what he does and makes good money.
It's sooo good you learned to drive the truck. As a team of 2, it was always important that you can do everything grant can. Great job Laura 👌
Well I'm only a beginner. Fare from being a professional but over the last 44 years I have learned a few things. #1. use your engine brake, ( Jacobs Break) whenever you want. I has nothing to do with exaust gaskets or exaust pressure. #2. As a general practice, don't set your trainer park break unless your on a up hill or down hill grade. And never in freezing weather. When you set your trailer breaks your dumping the air going to the break pods so upon releasing the trailer breaks its going to take a few seconds to build the air back up to the break pods. Nothing wrong with your breaks. Just another thing to learn. And I must say, your doing a fantastic job. It takes a while, but remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Proud of you and your husband.
Driving a semi is a blast. Congrats on learning it fast. I loved your smile when you turned on the Jake brakes, and you said I love that sound.
Lara, Keep in mind that jake brake has two purposes. One is to turn diesel fuel into sound. Try not to use it for that alone.
Laura, You are the most incredible young woman i have ever seen. Your "FEARLESS" from what I have seen after watching you for 2 years. You are absolutely magical in all you do as is your presentation. You exude class and an American way that should be envied by all, and i can not thank you enough.
Grant my boy. You son have won the LOTTERY and I hope you appreciate and respect and understand your good fortune. You have been given a gift from god that few are presented with. The passion you two display is phenomenal. America needs so many more like you. I pray the youth of our great nation benefit from the life lessons you two are sharing and take it to hear as you do....And, again Thank YOU BOTH, GOD BLESS!
The look on your face when the Jake Brake engages is priceless. Love y'alls content.
As a truck driver. This video made me smile to much, Love seeing someone else enjoy what we do
You’ve hit on the key point to learning the truck/trailer/elevator job, enhancing your value to yourself and your business. Keep expanding your skillset and you’ll be well positioned to overcome the inevitable challenges your farm will face over the course of your career.
We only watch 2 farm channels and your's is one of them. You and Grant are a great team and enjoyable to watch interacting. You're both fun but serious without the camera foolishness that other farm channels have. You started out modestly and it's been a joy to watch your well deserved progression. We see your farming operation going well into the future. I should also add that we appreciate the lack of 'click bait' in your video titles, no drama, no BS. Many thanks
This is going to be really cool to see you and Grant's farm grow. Super excited for future videos keep em coming!
I love the grin when you're using the Jake break!! There is no other sound like it.
Nice addition to your portfolio
Happy Easter to you all.
You never cease to impress Laura, and it's truly a pleasure to watch how you and Grant work together and respect each other! 👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
Excellent Job whippin the Pete your confidence is awesome. Remember that Tractor and trailer are a heavy piece of machinery pay attention to the task at hand, you are doing a great job!
I've been driving a little over forty years and thought you did a great job ! I work with some guy's that you would run circles around, you did a great job shifting and handline the truck and believe it or not you'll get even better as time goes on . You always impress me with your willingness to learn new things. Maybe when I retire you'll allow me come out for a visit and buy you and Grant dinner, Would love to meet both of you, I grew up around the dairy industry I didn't live on a farm but wasn't working on a farm whether it was a friend or family members farm and loved every minute of it. But chose a little different path. Keep up the good work, ALWAYS look forward to the next video. Have a great day!!
That smile when the Jake got going was priceless. That’s one beautiful farm you have there. God bless and may your endeavors be prosperous.
So proud of you Laura! You picked that up like a pro! And you grinning from ear to ear when you throw the switch for the engine break! 👍
Congratulations! I have seen some grain trailers, but yours is the first to have a remote to do the work. Have good days!
Your "Can Do" attitude is amazing, and it's great seeing you and Grant begin your own farming adventure.
The jake brake sounds amazing 😄😆 and the Laura trucker drive like she been doin it forever💚
Laura, I’m proud of you. You did really well driving that truck the more you drive the truck, the more confident and comfortable you will become.
Laura, it's great that you're learning new things and hauling corn to the ethanol plant. I haven't seen anyone answer your question to the airbrakes? So here is what you need to know. I've been driving for around 8 years now. One thing you really need to know is, release the trailer brakes first! The problem you're having is that the air has to travel from the compressor/air tanks all the way back to the rear axles. When you release the tractor brakes first, you've used up a lot of your air, so the compressor has to try and replenish what you've used up. On a safety note, you always want to release the trailer first, so the tractor keeps you in place. If you're on a hill and you release the tractor first the weight in the trailer will start to push you around, especially if your trailer brakes are failing. Always release the trailer first, once you hear or feel them release, then release the tractor brakes. I'm a Retired U.S. Marine and never thought, I would ever have a CDL. Until I started working for my father. You also need to learn how to do most of the maintenance yourself. You'll find out really quick how much money you'll save just by fixing things yourself. Especially during this whole (Inflation) situation. There's your tip on Airbrakes. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'll tell you everything that I know. My father has been driving for 50 years now and I've learned so much from him. Keep a smile on your face and keep putting out those videos. Happy Easter.
Laura you are great. You are not afraid of new tasks, no matter how difficult it is. Greetings from Germany
Hola.laura te saludamos desde puerto rico
Laura you are quite simply, SIMPLY AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Congratulations Laura ! Worked 30 yrs. @ North American Van Lines as a truck mechanic. Saw many driver wannabe’s that couldn’t shift with a clutch& here you are floating gears like a pro ! And looking good doing it. LOVE Jakes & straight pipes.
Laura, you are so cool. Nothing more impressive than a fearless young woman with so much confidence. You are a true inspiration.
I can see Laura loves that Jake brake. Looks like your doing a GREAT job. 🥰
Happy Easter to you all.
You never cease to impress Laura, and it's truly a pleasure to watch how you and Grant work together and respect each other! 👍🏼WALES UK TRISTAN I LIKE THE NEW TRUCK VERY MUCH
I should be working, but watching that smile when you hit the jake brake totally made my day. Seeing people do what they love is always so incredible. 🙇♂🙇♂
As a professional driver for 30 years, a couple of tips. Never use the Jake break when empty. It puts excessive pressure on exhaust manifold gaskets. Check the rubber grommets at your airlines. Make sure they are good and seal tight. Never use the hand trailer brake to park. There is no need to pull it down when the supply lines are pulled. For your first time to the elevator, you did awesome. Even got the floating of gears down! Way to go!!!!
Been driving 25 and have used my jake's 24/7 lol 1.5 million on my last rebuild.
I've used them bobtailing before the jake doesn't know what the truck weighs just helps save on the drum brakes and sounds great especially on the older trucks. Now they're more exhaust brakes and don't have the same effect of slowing down a truck.
Disagree with 30 yr Driver,Jake brake can be used anytime as long as traction permits
Exhaust gaskets do not care.
How does the weight of the truck determine the amount pressure applied to the exhaust gaskets? I believe the pressure is in the head and not the exhaust manifolds...
Don't know if you'd like it but we did this on our trucks without tilt steering. You can get longer bolts that connect the steering column to the dash and stack washers in between the two and it will pull the steering wheel back down closer to your knees.
Always be alert Laura. I know you are very familiar with big equipment but when it's 80k pounds at 65mph it's different. You do have a problem with the brakes. You shouldn't have to hold the button in to release pressure. Love your stuff, keep it up!!!❤
Drove truck over half my life (age 58 now). You did good! Some things you'll want to remember though,, #1 behind the wheel of that truck, you need to ALWAYS be on high alert! As Johnny law and thee D.O.T. see it,, as a CDL holder you are automatically 50% at fault of any traffic accident you're involved in,,(you're cause or not).
Other than that 1 pointer as a driver, take care in offloading weight too quickly from air ride suspension. If it doesn't relieve air quick enough, it can pull the ride height control linkage apart and cause a minor breakdown that's an annoying and valuable time consuming repair. Just don't relax too soon Dear that truck is a 40 ton car crusher! Don't let yourself forget that and you'll be just fine.
Love your videos, and it brightens my day to see your spice for life.
Learning to drive the truck and make the deliveries is quite an accomplishment! Even better? You and Grant working as an awesome team got two days’ work done in one day!
So cool. It’s fun to see someone so excited over things that I viewed as so mundane 40 years ago. Who knew there were remotes and batteries for grain trailers? 😂 We cranked tarps and traps by hand. I wasn’t lucky enough to drive a Pete. I was stuck with an International 4300 Transtar with a single sleeper, which came in handy for grain runs to the Mississippi and Illinois river terminals. You’ve got the floating gears thing down. You’re doing a great job. Keep at it. Subscribed in WI
BE PROUD. The two of you work great together and make great videos. I love watching you guys learn and your operation grow.
Nothing like the sound of a Jake Brake, and the smile it puts on your face says it all!!!!
Outstanding Laura, with Grant doing his thing, your a valuable asset in your new found skill.
Thank god for young farmers and todays innovations.
You and Grant are really coming along nicely with your farms. Your own truck and trailer will make it work so much more smoothly and I assume save a lot of money. The fact that you fix it yourselves will definitely save a lot of money. Those things are expensive to fix. We have a truck at work and its like $5K every time we bring it in.
Hard too say who is having more fun.😂
Nice trailer 👍 Jake brake, got to love it.😂
Your growing along with the farm. 👍
God bless.
Laura the problem you were having with the Maxie brakes I think was because you had the spike engaged so air was flowing from two sources no need for anything else if buttons on dash are pulled out congratulation on your new accomplishment all the best from allenford ontario Canada 😊
What he means by the spike, is the johnson bar. Also used for breaking the trailer only, without using the tractor breaks.
Never use the Johnson bar for parking.
Red and yellow knobs are for parking.
Thank you for allowing us to ride along. This city boy learns something new with every video. Always a pleasure to watch things happen on your farm.
The truck and trailer look great together love watching you and grant thank you for taking us along
It's neat to get the hang of driving the truck by only using to clutch when you stop and start. It takes a bit to get the hang of matching the revs on the engine and trans so that the trans more of less fall out of and into gears, it more or less literally pulls out of gear and pulls into gear.
It takes smoothness. And it is neat. The wear and tear of the whole truck is very low.
From the sounds of things you're getting a real good hand on shifting gears.
Laura, it is great to see you, and Grant, working your own farm. It is also good to see that you are acquiring some reasonable farm equipment to help you do your work. That is a good-looking truck and trailer that you have, and it is good to see you driving the semi. Please allow me to give you this tip: ALWAYS USE THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT. You will grind far fewer gears that way. That saves expensive transmission repairs and prolongs the life of the truck.
@@tetedur377 LOL! You , apparently, have never had to overhaul a transmission.
@@brianwittman5172: Overhauling a transmission has nothing to do with driving a truck. A truck driver with more than a week's experience floats the gears. 850,000 truck drivers can't all be wrong.
@@pcs5852 It isn't mechanics that ruin parts, it is the drivers. For those who don't use the clutch, they have far more transmission failures. No wonder so many company owned fleets are going to automatics.
@@brianwittman5172: Fleets are going to automatics due to improved fuel mileage.
Of the 850,000 employed truck drivers, I think that you'd be hard pressed to find 100 who use the clutch to shift. Generally, a highway tractor will get a million miles out of a manual transmission.
Tell me that you're an automobile mechanic without telling me.
Totally loved that smile when the Jake Brake rolled on. Very Cool.
Happy Easter Laura and Grant. Congratulations on learning to drive a tractor trailer. That’s not easy to do. The more you learn the better off you are . I can’t wait to see what you up to next . I guess Planting is next . Driver License and CDL License And chemical License Just a few Licenses I know you probably you have already have. After watching you videos I have a new appreciation for what farmer have to do
Good job kids! I made one trip cross country back in the 80's hauling butter from Michigan to California (for McDonalds) and brought produce back (refer trailer). Always wanted to get back into it full time but life happened. I remember how low to the ground the car felt after spending a week in the diesel cab. Thought my butt was dragging. 😁
That’s a great looking truck and trailer. Glad y’all got the tractor all sorted out.
As a 35 year truck driver you’ll catch on quick to shifting the gears and maneuvering the truck.
I’m glad you like the sound of the Jake brake 😂
Ah. Thank you for using that term, Jake Brake. Now I understand what's happening!
@@AlexHaan jake is short for Jacobs engine brake, company name is Jacobs Vehicle Systems
@@kevinb8285 Yes thank you. I meant that I had no idea what that flipping of that switch did (besides making a lot of noise). Finding that term being used in the comment made me figure it out on wikipedia.
Way to go young lady! Im always impressed with smart, level-headed young people in this world. Bodes well for the future of our country. Thanks for these videos. Very informative. I’m a 67 year old retired jet engine tech, so never farmed, but always loved the idea of that very busy but satisfying lifestyle. Many farmers in my family tree from the past in Ohio.
Grant cracked me up when as he’s describing the truck repairs he comes to the realization “I pretty much bought the truck again”. 😂 Looks like n nice rig, y’all need to get your farm logo on the doors.
This woman is incredible...
Grant you must be the luckiest man in the world!
I wish you and Laura only the best for the future with all my heart.
Holy crap. I've been driving truck for 31 years. You float gears like a pro. Keep up the great work. Love y'alls videos. Happy Easter.
I drove truck coast to coast for 34 years I'm glad to see you driving and you're doing a fine job just remember take your time always have eyes in the back of your head and look and look and look and be careful and I wish you the best to luck
Laura, you guys are an inspiration, and God bless as you continue building your farming operation.
Awesome to see you get in the tractor and you were a natural at learning floating gears GOOD JOB
Happy Easter. God bless you in this new growing season.
Nice job handling that big rig! You are a Jack of all trades now.
I noticed there is a “pet window” by the floorboard on the right side. Maybe Scotty would enjoy going along on one of your hauls.
Love all your explanations and descriptive language, along with hand jesters to help get the point across 😀 Those closeups are especially sweet…just love ❤️ those big green eyes.
Incredible granddaughter! Laura amazes me with every video! So much fun to watch & listen to! Can hardly wait until Laura & Grant start planting! Hope you had a lovely Easter!
Thanks and please show your farming every step of the way
Go Laura! You are a farming multi-tasker par excellence!
I love the way Detroit sound when they start up and also caterpillars when idling
Happy Easter to you and Grant and both of your families. I am firmly convinced that Laura is most happy in life when she is behind the steering wheel of some piece of equipment or vehicle.
Two peas in a pod. I love your success. Never let anyone or anything turn the direction you and your husband are heading. Inspiration, love, family, and stewardship.
Laura, I believe the problem that you are experiencing with the Trailer/Red Knob not wanting to stay in is because you have the trailer brake on the steering wheel engaged.
Correct . It will not apply air if air is locked with the trailer hand brake .
Yes, that is the problem
It’s lucky she is easy on the eye.
As she would never have the opportunities that she has…
Your problem with releasing trailer brakes is because you have you trailer brake hand valve applied…???
Let Laura drive more and more, then she will know how to drive properly… be happy 🎉🎉🎉
WOW I haven't seen an Eaton Fuller "Performance" 9 speed in a LONG time. It's actually a U shaped pattern, 2nd and 3rd gear are next to each other, instead of 1st and 3rd next to each other. Great job driving Laura!
I drive a grain truck everyday, multiple times a day to the elevator and for someone just learning the skill, your doing great. I’ll give a piece of advice an older driver gave me when I first started driving, “ It’s not a race out there, slow down and do it right. Because you only have to do it wrong once to hurt someone or something “!
When stopping, you don"t need to push the clutch all the way to the floor, will help extend the life of your clutch brake. I usually push mine down about 3/4 of the way. Good to see your willing to learn new skills, never know when you'll need them.
Great job with that semi,Laura-just make sure you dont go over 150 air miles with it,or cross state lines without a CDL !
What happens at the 150 air miles?
Without a cdl she cant legally go any farther@@jonathanbair523
Laura - You are amazing! Learning all these skills at a young age. You're skill set combined with you work ethic and sunny disposition positios you for a very good life.
Way better than anything on television. Hope you and Grant keep up the channel for a long while.👍🏻
I love when your vehicles turn over with no muss…no fuss. All that maintenance work pays off. Good job!
Here's a suggestion for dealing with the corn while loading: use lab goggles next time you climb up the trailer to look at the corn. That way, dust and grit won't get into the eye.
I as well have over 30 years right at 3 million miles,now retired,when your trailer brakes keep popping out,first look at your gauge and make sure you have at least 100psi if you do you made need to adjust the knob!Next never let a truck coast,if your gonna coast then do it with the clutch if you have to,but if the truck is moving,always make sure it's in a gear,that way if you pass out or anything the motor and transmission will shut the truck down!!Great job Laura!!!
Laura, you do an awesome job creating these videos!
It is great to see the excitement you have, Enjoy it! someday it will become old hat. Keep your flame alive as long as you can
You are becoming a one person army to be recond with . You both give us hope for your generoashon .
Keep up the good work, and you will go far .
I loved your little grin when you put the Jake brake on.
BY FAR, my favorite LauraFarms video ever! Got to hear Jake brakes twice, see a hot girl learning to drive a bad ass truck, watching the corn pour in and out of the trailer, watching the train at the crossing... All the fun stuff about farming that's not in the fields, and even some funny sexual innuendos at the end for all the dirty-minded b@stards out there. 😂 Also loved when Laura said she'd hate for corn to start going everywhere if she forgot to close the hopper bottoms on the trailer. I was like "yeah that makes a mess, ask Zach (MillennialFarmer) about that! Pretty sure he did that a few videos ago." 😂 btw, get ready to replace those bearings in a year or 2 on the hopper bottoms on the trailer. They go quick with all the dust. Keep a full trailer set on hand at all times, you never know. Great video Laura and Grant, love yall's channel, and can't wait to see yall grow your farm together, and I look forward to many more amazing videos like this one. Best of luck with planting 2023! Much love and God bless ❤🙏🏻
Nice tractor and trailer! You look great in that driver's seat and I can tell you are a natural at driving heavy equipment. I drove tractor trailers of all configurations for 48 years and now in retirement. Happy to see someone to take my place. Good luck on your new farm.❤
Truck and trl look great! Are you required to get a CDL license to drive Laura?
She can get a cdl just for farmer use only
Not as long as its for a farm vehicle, you are not more than 150 miles from the farm and you don't cross state lines.
Been busy myself so I have a lot of catching up to do. Last video I watched is when you bought that truck. Good job learning how to drive the semi! Grant’s a good teacher. lol that smile on your face with the jake!
You have no idea what a wonderful wife you are!!!!!!!
4:36 that might be one of the most satisfying cold starts I have ever heard
Hi Laura. My name is Tom and I am 43 years old, I was born and lived in Ukraine until I was 21. At the moment I have been living in Russia for more than 20 years. In Ukraine, I have 28 acres of land that my brother is engaged in. This year he sowed a sunflower. Being a farmer is hard work. It's very interesting to watch your videos.
Damn proud of you Laura. Atta girl give'em hell!! Your Jake break face is priceless!!
Way to go, Laura. You did an awesome job driving. One thing you want to do before unloading your trailer is to let the air out of the air bags when you unload that fast because you could blow an airbag.
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊YOU DO A GREAT JOB ,I DROVE FOR 25 YEARS ,70 TO 95 !
Congratulations, I’m happy for you!!
So many skill sets are needed to farm; as well as all the botanical, agricultural, technical knowledge. On top of that you have to understand something about crop futures in the commodities exchanges. There’ s just so much to know and understand.
Great Truck! Many years ago I drove one of those coast to coast never gave me problems. Just be sure to change all fluids and filters, and keep an eye on the Air Dryer system, and air fittings, and glad hands, might be stiff from the cold, damaged, etc... Also if I may be so bold, keep extra fuel filters handy...ya just never know. Enjoy
Happy Easter! I enjoy your channel, informative and entertaining. I can say I learn something new from you or grant, on almost every one of your videos. I thank you for that. On a purely selfish note, i would like to continue watching your channel and learning about farming through your eyes. Please wear your seat belt more often.
Way to go girl! You are crushing it! Get your CDL as the info you’ll gain will be gold.
shifting without clutch takes a few time to learn the coordination pattern. basically take off with clutch, get to shift rpm-let off gass-shift right away before rpms lower-give more gas to get to next gear swap
Happy Easter Jesus is Lord !!!! !I've been driving a truck for 25 year's Absolutely wonderful job nice tractor nice trailer God has truly blessed the two of you yes really good floating through the gears on the Peterbilt we're praying for you guys blessings from Martinsville Indiana
Jake brakes. Not usually cool, but to see the joy on your face when applying them, cool.
We all give that little smirk when we hit the jakes.... even when there is no camera to wink at!!! lol Congratulations on earning your trucker tires!
Dalhart is my hometown. Great place to grow up. Big cattle and farming community.
