It’s interesting how calm you stay in that traffic. You see a lot of other truckers cussing and being dramatic at people not letting them in and stuff but you seem to keep calm. You definitely make it look easy.
I really appreciate that! I have just dealt with enough over the years that there's no point. Rushing and getting worked up just let's mistakes be made. I get done when I get done and it is what it is. There's a level of ignorance on the road I won't tolerate and I try to avoid it when I can or do something about it when I can but otherwise if there's nothing I can do just keep on trucking!
I used to run into the five Burroughs quite a bit and Long Island. It's a totally different way of driving a big truck. You pretty much have to bully your way but no one gets pissed.
@@Only4Trucks sheesh I wish i could keep calm like you my job is similar;boss sends me in tight neighborhoods and busy cities like these.
But I'm new driver 1 year and 3 months so I'm highly aggressive my tolerance is going to take time when I get to the amount of experience you have.
I just have rookie driver season overemotional syndrome.
I told my boss my first year first 3 week told him I'm quitting 5 times.
But I told myself gotta keep in this hell fight. So I'm still here 1 year and 3 months later but he's upgrading me to EVEN tougher areas
I'm like I should of quit the first time I said I would; f&ck man it's hard!!!
But with all that being said you inspire me brother that you been in my situation when you were new and now you like a veteran in this game much respect my man
I definitely subscribed to channel keep trucking 🚚
You were cut out to be a driver. A good driver. Excellent maneuvering in the big Apple. I felt I was in the cab the whole time as I was looking at the sights. I've watched several of your videos. Professional, calm with a good rig. Big cam sounds good. Keep on rolling safely.
I really appreciate that! Luckily my dad taught me everything I needed to know to get me where I am! I agree the truck sounds good and I'll do my best! You do the same man!
Wow! A Ford semi-tractor! Classic! 😂😊
Yes!
WHEELIN AND DEALIN BABY! I could watch this all day
That's so awesome! Thank you that means a lot to me!
The camera angles are great, and seeing the construction site and unloading is very interesting, especially in Manhattan. Also, the side angle view like at 8:18 is fun to watch. The detail you added to this video makes it better and makes me look forward to your next video. I'm 79 but worked commercial construction in my younger days, so seeing the details of your work is exciting.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoy seeing the sites as I want to give you guys more of that. I thought that angle of the trailer would be good! Thank you for that and I'm glad I could keep you excited for the next video that's awesome!!! I'm really glad your enjoying the channel! Thank you for watching!
Dude you make that New York traffic look easy! Steam whistle is cool.😅
Thank you! I really appreciate it and I love the whistle too! Hahah
Awesome intro! Paying homage to the great Convoy, put a huge smile on my face
Thank you!!!! I really appreciate that!!! Convoy is my favorite of all time!
18:10 you are a hundred percent correct it works like a zipper. But everyone is in such a rush and causes more problems with traffic
Yesss!!! People are so dumb lol
Your driving skill’s say it all keep putting out the great content 🇺🇸
Thank you! That means a lot to me! I'll be doing my best! You have a great name too my friend!
Great horn in the tunnel , cool seeing you shift & out the window through the city.
Thank you! And I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed watching!
We have same traffic issues trying to navigate big rigs around downtown Chicago referred to as the Chicago loop it takes extreme patience that only comes with experience & frustration & sweating I love the shifting that is always what I live for At the end of the day you deserve an ice Cold Hamms Beer born in the land of Sky Blue Waters
I hear that man! And thank you! I love that you enjoy the shifting! I really appreciate your comment!
"Big Apple Thunder" should be a part of your merch!!!! You roll through the chaos and congestion like it is second nature. It reminnds me of the movie from the 70's with Jan Michael-Vincent called "Blue Mule". Stay Blessed and Keep Bringin' the Thunder!!
I really appreciate that and I'm gonna have to watch that movie! I'll do my best to keep the thunder coming and I love that idea for merch!
@@Only4Trucks a bumper sticker or tshirt with an apple wearing a smirk on its face sticking its head out of the window of one of your ford trucks. I am sorry to bother you. You inspired me Big Apple Thunder. God Bless and be well sir.
Love how much you thoroughly enjoy driving that rig
love the way u handle that truck brother, sounds amazing.
Thank you! I appreciate that!!
I tense up watching you maneuver through all that traffic, you handle it well! Love the videos be safe out there!
Lol I really appreciate that! Thank you! I'll do my best and you do the same!
Man you got nerves of steel !!
Thank you!
New follower here. Nice driving in the city! I’ll never complain about driving again. That 350 must be straight piped? I have a 350 in a Kenworth and I need to make it sounds like yours lol. Keep up the good work.
Yes it is straight piped and hahah I try not to complain either. And I hope you can make it sound the way you want it to! Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it
Tunnel klip w/ the train horn went krazy 💫
Absolutely!!!
“It makes cool noises”🤣 love the camera set up u used can’t wait for more
Hahahahahah thank you! I love that you commented that! I crack myself up with that line hahahahah and I'll be using that angle and plenty more to come!
holy hell! coming from a small town upbringing i don't think i could hardly drive a car in NYC, let alone a full semi truck & trailer! ya got some skills man! ya stay calm while doing it too.
I really appreciate that! Thank you for that and thank you for watching! I wouldn't mind a small town upbringing though lol
"It works like a zipper, 1 1 1 1... get with the program" 😄 🤣 😂
Man you’re awesome. Much love from a newer trucker, got about 2.5 years under my belt over the road and loving it. You’re an inspiration brother keep it up!
You missed the boat. You are late. Trucking is in a chaotic mess. The tractors are ugly and the drivers belong in an insane asylum
Awesome video 👍👍👍
Thank you!!!
That was super dope meeting that subscriber. Audio was on point brotha. Lookin forward to tha next one. Stay safe.
It really was! And thank you! You and I both thank you! You do the same!
There’s no way in hell I would do this much respect man
Thank you!!!
Difficult enough walking in NYC let alone maneuvering a massive rig LOL. What great skill. Well done bro.
Love the old LTL's, First truck I drove was a CLT 9000. What amazes me is we still see lots of those old early 80's trucks running around doing work and think nothing of it but had we seen a 1940's truck on the job sight in the 1980's we would have freaked out. The worlds changed so much in all this time. Stay safe. Cheers from PEI Canada.
That's awesome! Thank you for watching!
Appreciate your videos.
Natural born truck driver if ever there was one!
NO WAY IN HELL! That I could deal with that.
Drove off and on from 1970 to'99, stayed West of the Big Muddy except for once and that was enough.
Thank you! I greatly appreciate that! And that's awesome 70-99 wow!!!!
Keep on coming those nice videos better you than me on that traffic 😅…I mean you really need nerves of steel to deal with the Big Apple…
Keep up the good work..but specially keep on trucking that bad ass Ford…
Hahaha I try my best and thank you! I really appreciate that!
You have me beat I get anxious just watching you drive in NY hats off man
The mighty LTL sounds so good.
Thank you!
Great meeting you! Looking forward to the next video.
My pleasure! I'll actually be out there again tomorrow 3-16 from 7-10am 😂
@@Only4Trucks looks like my comment didn't go through the first time... Welcome back! Saw the truck tucked away in the job site but had to run up to work. Let me know if you'll be back again. Btw we're going to be posting from Philly this weekend -- let us know if you have any hoagie spots we need to hit.
@@ManicAmerican nice! Insure will, and ok let me think a little and see if I can give you a worthy spot
Wow going through the Lincoln tunnel as Neil Diamond sings what a beautiful noise.
Hahaha wow! Thank you!
9:03 - Common GPS issue - I'm considering using a marine GPS speedometer for a vintage car and learned any urban areas with taller buildings will conflict with its accuracy. Anyway, just found the channel, love the content, love the old school truck.
Keep em comming !!!! :)
I will do my best! Thank you
Hell yeah man really cool to still see an older Ford lt still kickin
You deserve some recognition man.🥇
Wow that really means a lot! Thank you
Pulled container deliveries into there several times and even drove cab in the city for a bit. Crazy place I don’t really miss.
I won't miss it hahaha
Very interesting getting through traffic and I really miss that mack truck so safe travels to you and I'll catch ya on the next one.
Thank you! And I miss the Mack too! We will be working on it asap and plenty of videos of it to come along with other macks as well!
@@Only4Trucks that's a big 10.4 brotha trucka,have good day.
Watching you make that turn and saying nobody cares about your turn signal I want to give you an idea. I have many years experience (42), and I remember a comedian once saying the way to drive in the city is when you want to make a right, turn your left turn signal on, then when all the assholes go up your left side to cut you off, you turn right. Thought you'd see the humor in that one. Happy trucking!
i don't know how you do it man, i hate driving a big rig through tight traffic like that, looks like the tunnel had a lot of bumps because the camera was shaking pretty bad. good job as always and looking forward to the next video
I really appreciate that! Sometimes I question how I keep my head on straight hahaha I'm just as excited as you! Thank you for watching
19:50 yo that train horn is sick haha your a beast bro
What a good ole truck. By far my favorite style semi.
You will see a lot more Fans popping up time to time as you grow your channel. Glad you are enjoy the loud city life and hell of mess of traffic LoL. Don't hang in the bus lane to long, you get tickets from over head cameras above.
If you had the murderous jake-brake on the Ford LTE9000, people will know you are their. People seem to no pay attention. Still you are driving that truck like its nothing. No jakes just brings you back to the old days when they don't have the jakes put in. That train horn. 💯
I like the first camera mic sound, its sound more clearer then the second one at 14:30. I take it the battery died?
Straight pipe in the tunnel sound is meaty (in a good way for the sound), sound so good. But safe driving in the city.
I couldn't imagine and I do hope it happens. And I really appreciate that! I try to remain comfortable but always humble. I appreciate you noticing the audio I'm still gonna continue working on making it better. And yea the battery died unfortunately. I appreciate that and you stay safe too!
I used to be impressed by New York City, but nowadays I can't imagine living there. Tiny streets, blocks barely long enough to fit your truck and trailer, cars everywhere. Nah I'll stick with wide roads and lots of parking space lol. Blows my mind how you can navigate a big rig through those streets.
You have a new fan! A big ol Ford running around New York and you staying cool and calm is awesome, I've drove Mack's, International 's , Western Star's and several different military big trucks but I'ma Ford man!!
Must be very stressful to drive in the city + your truck have so awesome sound 😊✌️
It is at times and I appreciate that!
The big differences between many drivers is where they started. I started in NJ just outside of NYC. I was delivering to many places using a 48 & sometimes a 53. Once in a while we used the roof crane. Pull off the Sonotubes, toss em onto the ground ontop of some straps. Up,up and away! I delivered all the stainless steel kitchen equipment to the Hard Rock Cafe when it opened up. There were only two in the country at that point. Yes! It was a while ago! Thinking I was 26-27 year's old. I'm 62 now. All day job. Dry van. Everything outta the back door and inside.
I agree 100% wow that's some really cool history! I started moving equipment in Philadelphia and it taught me a lot!
Ahh..banging gears in Manhattan! Nothing like those old school diesels! 😎
Absolutely!!!!
🎉 thanks for the video bro 🎉😊.. JJ... Jonjon...
Good old NYC do not miss it one bit.
I hear that!
In the city you got to drive aggressive but safe love that Ford
Absolutely! You have to!!!
If you can get through New York, you’ve got life by the balls 🤘🏽
I do similar work in Adelaide South Australia delivering scaffolding, pre- cast panels and sometimes reinforcing wire into building sites.
It has its moments. Nice video.
Sir, you have one of the coolest looking trucks, I love those old Louisville’s!
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Hey hey, haven’t been on here to check out your videos I’ve been super busy with work and family b it OOOMAGAAAWD I looove this truck!! The sound oomg. My father had a 1989 ford L9000 1987 blue it was a tractor trailer 27 foot trailer end dump which split in the middle when dumping. Super cool!! It was good to watch and remember my time in the blue ford. Best truck I’ve ever been in 😁💖👍👍
It's all good family always comes first! And you have to work but thank you!! I appreciate that and that's awesome your old man had some fords! That's awesome you got to spend time in it too!
I was working up there back in early 80's and had to send steel back cause it was bent, back then all rebar was bent on the job, dowels, stirrups etc:
Wow lol go figure
8:30 Hell yeah, bad ass man! Chingon
Any mother trucker who can navigate Manhattan like an absolute boss is going to get a subscription out of me!
Another awesome video brother you and the old ford putting in work. God Bless you and your family stay safe 👍
Thank you! I really appreciate that and we do our best! Same to you and yours!
nice job. that old ford sounds tough.
Thank you! She definitely does she's a bad girl
Great video jo love the truck sounds driving through the streets it must be hard driving in the city with a semi trailer
Thank you! I really appreciate that! It can definitely be hard!!!
Never wanted to go to NYC but after watching this i might have to try it 👀🤝🏽
Have to try it atleast once!
Really enjoying the content! You're a natural! I am a born and raised Okie in my early 50's and been fortunate in more recent years to travel to quite a few places but I recently had an opportunity to take my very first trip to NYC and stayed in a friends apartment in Hells Kitchen while they were out of town. I have to say I was not prepared for how much I would enjoy my stay. I was blown away and mind boggled at just how the simple things miraculously work in a place with 8+ million people stacked on top of each other, like running water and internet or getting 3 lanes of cars down a street made for two. The way you thread that truck down those streets is a real testament to your skills. I only have one request, please find a way to mount your phone! looking away that much is just not in your best interest! 💪💪
I really appreciate that!!! Thank you! And wow that's awesome glad you got to experience it! And I definitely need a phone mount!! I will be getting one. And thanks again! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm from South Wales, United Kingdom. So far I love your videos
Wow that's awesome and thank you!
How can anyone be a truck driver and work in these types of environment amazes me! That would be way to much stress for me! Love the side angle view and it was also great to see one of your subscribers meet you! Drive safe. 😊
Thank you! I greatly appreciate that and it was an incredible experience for me. I'll do my best and you be safe as well!
19:55 badass man 🚂
That old big cam sounds awesome Brother.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Hell yeah my brother lives in Manhattan I call it the armpit of the WORLD!!!! Appreciate ya sharing any chance we can hear them horns driv,ah?
Hahahahah dude it definitely is! And oh yea! I'll have to get into the horns in the next video!
@@Only4Trucks thanks driv,ah. Actually thinking about moving there haven't seen my brother in 16 years
Hats off to you Driver , I do Super Loads and I don't think I could do your Job .... Kutgw !!!!
Wow! Thank you I really appreciate that!
Started as a diesel mechanic back in the late 70’s. Worked at a Ford dealer in SC then Ryder truck rental and an International dealer. Seen many who claimed to be truck drivers. Many were darn nice guys with good hearts. But none had your driving abilities! And abilities are what you have, along with the patience of Job. Hated those belt driven P/S pumps. Squealed like a cornered pig! Keep up the good work and great videos.
Wow that's awesome! Yea the steering pumps can be a pain! But thank you I'll be doing my best!
Your a key part in the building of NYC! Amazing footage.
Thank you!
Just wanted to say awesome content! I love watching your videos. You are one of the reasons why I want to get into trucking! Love old trucks! Keep up the great work and God bless and drive safe man!
Thank you! I really appreciate that and I hope I can get you into trucking, teach you something and help you get where you want! Same to you and thank again!
Yo. I was cracking up when you were going through manhattan. People just don’t give two shits in the city especially in manhattan. You know when you come over the pike to NYC you gotta flip that I don’t give a shit switch on and start on your A game. At least it’s a 40’ trailer but you still have the tractor with sleeper to contend with. The tunnel is always fun with straights and a great Jake. Always get looks and gestures. Screw em. Can’t wait for R model to be done. Good stuff man. Stay safe
Seriously man they suck! And I couldn't agree more man the shorter trailer helps. The tunnel is a blast haha and I'm just as excited for the R model!!! It's coming! Content on it is on the way!
Excellent video and sound. Driving through the city would be so nerve wracking, I was getting pit stains watching. 😂
I hear ya it does suck hahaha and thank you that means a lot! Hopefully you got yourself cleaned up after watching hahah
Love the old school through that traffic, I would be tempted to scare some people with some engine brake too.
Just love these videos, cheers Joe 👊👏🤙
Thank you!!! Cheers to you stew!
man you can drive this rig like a sports car
Beautiful rig!
I remember back in the day having to drive the L9000 AeroMax w/10-speed and a drop deck through the cities of Connecticut & Mass., that sucked, people suck down there.
Love the brappyness in the city gotta assert your presence 💪Hate city driving but you kill it
Absolutely! And thank you I really appreciate that!
I used to have a day cab 1991 ltl with a b model cat. It was dependable! You dont see very many with sleepers anymore. I sold it last year because it was getting really hard to find cab parts for it. Now I have a 359 exd hood Pete. Love your videos!
Wow that's awesome and I agree for sure. I appreciate you watching and glad you enjoy
Much respect ! Good job, I use to deliver to the meat market on 5th and Broadway with a 379 Pete. Get in at 2 or 3 in the morning and out by 5 or 6.
Wow but I do agree that's the best way! In and out early! Thank you for watching!
You've earned it brother 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that!
@@Only4Trucks no worries
I'm pretty sure out here in the west we have two track dirt roads that are smoother than any paved road in NYC. The tunnel audio was great, and the ol LTL seems to run pretty good.
Hahahaha I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It runs well for sure!
Great stuff man! Loving the videos when I get to watch them. Also I think you do well filming yourself in front of people, eventually you wont think about it I guess. To be honest it's probably one of those things where no one cares anyway, or they see you vlogging and don't think twice about it haha! Also cant beat the sound of that big cam!
For sure I agree 100% and I appreciate that. I love the sound of the big cam as well! Thanks for watching!
Like #300 here.
You got that intro synced up on point!
That's awesome! Thank you #300!!! And I really appreciate that!!!!! As time goes on I will add and change it up and make it better and better!
What a great video. I luv Manhattan but I won’t even drive a car there. lol Becuz my dad drove trucks I’m the chick that ALWAYS holds up traffic and flashes my lights so trucks can merge in. You are a rare driver with some impressive skills. Another video enjoyed! Just helping the algorithm 😉
I love them old semis. That ford sounds so damn good. Shame ford stopped making them rigs. Worth a lot of money. Theres a lot of truckers that driver and prefer them old square body kenworths,peterbuilts,and fords.
Thank you!! I agree 100%
Hey I love your trucking videos and I give you and others truck driver that drive in new York City and it's traffic.
By the way I love your ford semi truck beautiful sounds
I give you and others truck driver much credit and respect for you guys because that's required some real skills that some of us would not have.
Thank you! I appreciate that it means alot to me!
This channel is going to get big!
That really means a lot! Thank you!!!
Man my life would be so much easier if I could take that tunnel. Damn 13’6 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
It's a me me me society. Excellent driving! Enjoyed listening to the truck do it's thing. I've been watching your videos on the t.v in the evening. My fiancee said if he goes to macungie I'm just going to have to drop you off and come back later haha
Catch ya in the next one driver
It really is! Thank you for that and I agree! And uh oh!!!!! I would love to meet the both of you! I hope to see you guys at macungie! I'll be there for sure!
@@Only4Trucks Absolutely 👍
I like to know that there are people un US that buy old and used trucks and trailers. In central america we allways thinks that independent teuckers un US Buy only new equipment for work. Is good to know that you made bussines with old and good american teucks like many of us here.
I couldn't agree more!
the stinkin Lincoln. I hated that tunnel.
I know I'm a county boy, but it amazes me that most people don't even turn their heads when the truck goes through the crosswalk... 😳
I agree man it's a shame honestly
I thought being a driver in AZ and Cali was bad! Not anymore, will look at it like a walk in the park! Would lose my shit there bro! You gained a subscriber man!
Hahaha thank you! I greatly appreciate that!
ye old middle of the road cone packin...
classic
Hey you think building those highrise and lifting all that heavy steel to extreme heights is crazy....imagine building the pyramids.
Seriously man!!! I would love to know how they did it!
I think that was a non- union job on 43rd &5th Ave. I walk by it every day and I’ve seen people protesting it.
Yes! I was there when they were protesting lol believe it was the electricians
