  • My First Class Kenworth made me bleex while trying to fix a transmission leak!!! Our day starts off in Whitestown Indiana for a load going to Sioux City Iowa, then we find a problem with First Class while we are fixing a loose load lock. And things go down hill and messy from there.

    Mr. Schmidt it certainly was a surprise to find that wire?? You gave a good example how to check out the trans and maintain your self in adversity. Hopefully it will be a long while before anything else challenging occurs🙄🖐thanks for having us ride along.

    There are three truck driver video makers who I have watched and you are my favorite.While the other two are nice, hard working people, you seem to keep your cool and knowyour stuff. Decades ago I hauled cars, got laid off, went back to college and kept going until i got an advanced degree, became a techy, and retired a few years ago. While I loved trucking, it was hard work, but I was young and stupid and could handle all the work I was given. Stay well

    Yep... I should've been a trucker. The printing trade consumed much of my work history. I recently retired from the newspaper publishing industry after 32 years of service. Our printing/ distribution facility was shut down and outsourced. Being cooped up in a building for 8-12 hour night shifts was agonizing. Lots of stress and headaches along the way, but it did pay the bills and put food on the table. As I see the hood view of the open road from your Kenny, I realize now... how I missed out. Opportunities were there, I just managed to get sidetracked along the way. That's life. Goin' forward, I'll enjoy your story and ride along through your lens. Stay safe!

    If you got the twin turbo check the EGR cooler for coolant bypassing going into the engine very small amount and yes those radiators the cores do get clogged up with calcium white chalky substance Make sure your shroud is good your find hub is good. Best part about that radiator is you can replace upper and lower tank and you get money back when you send the core in.
