Love the content, love the attitude. Hard to keep on trucking when little things get in your way.. I guess that’s why we do it. Truck hard and be safe 🤙🏼
Kam! Dude thanks for the shot of the hay truck! My dad and I used to haul hay out of Amity and Rickreal outside of Salem about 35 years ago in his 1985 362 Pete with a 3406b. Good times!!!!!
@Trucking 4 race cars your bringing back memories of when I was 27 years old and flat bedding around the nation. I agree with you on the headache rack. In my early years I did use head ache racks, but later on I took them off to clean up the truck and keep it looking simple. I always figured if I had a headache rack I still don't want that load a shifting. I'm always staying on top of keeping my load secured so that head ache rack will never play a role in protecting me. It's just useless extra weight on the truck.
Lookin at these comments regarding your age, professionalism at its finest. You carry yourself very well especially as an o/o. Gettin it done ole son. Keep up the good work brother. Thanks for the awesome content.
Great content as always Kam!! Maybe one day let people know the difference with weight restrictions Ca. vs Or./Wa. Why you couldn't bring your 53' - 4 axle flatbed trailer to Ca. Love the channel bro!! I've contacted you before and was friends with Jeff Senior. Use to run with him and have dinner with him at Denny's in Rice Hill Or. exit 148 Pilot on I-5. I ran from Sacramento to Rice Hill 3 loops a week for 15 years. I also am friends with Norm Butler. You run with a good crowd and are learning from the best. I'm retired but have actually thought about coming back. Watching your story makes me Large Car sick!! Thanks so much Kam. Cherish these times my friend, they are priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a owner operator and I got a 2006 Pete 379x , I haul steel and coil spread axle flatbed and I am dedicated from Colorado to New York and I am on the road 3 weeks at a time and I haven't got no headache rack , I totally agree with you as long as you feel confident with your load and your chains I don't believe you should have a headache rack and I love the tractor trailer combo I looks great the flattop gives the truck a great look hellyeah......
Just seeing you for the first time today. Absolutely beautiful set up and that truck is gorgeous. Much respect for you drive especially this day and time. No idea what your back story is but someone did a great job raising you. Be safe out there!! Get that ride on out here to Texas 🇨🇱
Man you're inspiring as usual!!! The real thing. You look exhausted, I hope you've enjoyed your dirt bike 🤟🏼😎 I'm DB7 Gaming Simulator, made your truck one my channel last year !
Good stuff Ken! Big supporter here, i love your content. Being 24 and seeing how you far trucking has gotten you motivates me to go harder everyday. I Started doing food service and currently have a year of cdl experience doing it here in Georgia but flatbed is something I’ve been wanting to do ever since i started watching you about 11 months ago, currently just waiting on the right opportunity.
Bro, amazing stuff , but I love the way that you put the camera on your head, and we can see inside the truck and shifting and stuff like that. Anyway, stay safe buddy 👍
You are so right about a flatbed driver. A lot of the loads are schedule so tight you don’t have time to even think about it so stock up on your baby wipes and take a shower when you can . Kd
Across 15 from that TA in Corning is a small yellow barn/shop always has trucks parked . If u ever got any truck trouble stop by he will be more that happy to help. Broke down by casino he towed me to their shop and replaced my clutch and automatic transmission actuator(big jobs) in a mater of a day. Jaime and his brother Alex are amazing people. Jaime is a Cummins wizard
Be safe out there, love the truck. I like to alternate my binders but everyone’s different and a headache rack could definitely slow them down in some situations
Tips-n-Tricks: If you’re having a problem with trailer light’s similar to what we saw in the video, then try this trick until you have time to replace the plug or socket with the loose fitting terminal. Find a pice of stranded wire (type used for speakers or lights) and strip the jacket away from a inch or two. Now cut a few of the bare copper strands free and discard the rest. Next you will want to wrap the copper strands around the shaft if a small screw driver or nail. You be making what appears to be a coil spring that will fit down the in barrel of the problem terminal. Now just drop in the pig tail pin and plug it back up to the truck/trailer and check to if the lights work now. It serves to take of the space between the male and female terminals so the make up a good connection again. You may need to shorten the shim you just constructed to get the best fit. I also try to make the coils as large as possible so itt can both take up the space around the male terminal and/or compress between the two pins while still allowing the cover to latch over the plug as normal. It’s a weak design that can fail with the tension placed on the lines from daily use or being pulled tight when turning/backing sharply. I use a short bungee on both ends of my pig tail to pull the plug tight and not rely on that flimsy spring on the cover latch thing. This keeps the pins from getting out of shape and fitting up snugly just like they do when new. I enjoyed the Video brother!
i usually just fold a small piece of paper and use it as a wedge when plugging in the pigtail ..simple and hasn't failed me ...ever and i use crappy container chassis daily
True. You know your load. Can’t driving fast and think a big truck going to stop and the load doesn’t come forward. Know your load. Be safe out there 👍
I always took a small screwdriver and widened the prongs in the trailer's socket to get the turn signal to keep working or insert a small folded piece of paper as I inserted the plug into the socket.
Hey buddy I believe the Bearcats should be on the passenger side of the trailer and the long handle of the Bearcats MUST HAVE security wire thru a hole and fed back around the long handle. In 20 years you will understand. Maybe.
If you have a problem with the light cord not making correct contact, spray some windshield cleaner on your plug, works most often because the prongs get dirty.
I thought I saw you headed south when I was headed north a few days ago just north of Roseburg, I was in my f350 shop truck that’s black with red wheels so you probably didn’t see me but your truck was looking good.
Another solid vid bro, do you think at some point you can give an explanation of how you get up and over the mountain? like what gear you're using and rpms, do you clutch out of gear and rev into the next etc. I've been driving a 13 speed for years now but haven't had to take a mountain pass yet and its the only thing that gets me nervous.... thanks again man.
Rule of thumb is what ever gear you use to climb you drop one gear to go down. It’s not a race the smoother you are the better. Every hill is different but yes I can make a video about how I go down
Dang you went empty all the way to Sacramento from Washington. You could’ve hauled some coils from cascade steel to Stockton or some 60’ rebar to camblin steel in rocklin from Nucor or cascade or some lumber or something. That steel must’ve paid better than any steel I ever hauled
My dude I seen the name of your channel 😊and subscribe, then saw your Pete bad ass and crisp good looker , I’m 41 and own two kws a 1979 kw lw 924 bc logging truck ,and an 1982 kw w-900A both are 3408 cats lw is 15 spd , w-900 is a 18 spd , log truck is Fathom blue white sash and red pin stripe , my w-900 is tuxedo black with 5 tea spoons of blue metallic , in the sun it looks like fun metal, black on a cloudy day, w-900 is called “my nightmare “ , my lw 924 is called” MR CAT “bought em both from my granps he had a good eye for kwhoppers
Great video Kam, hit thumbs down button by mistake but I did go back and hit up button. Just wanted to let you know it wasn't intentional my apologies!!
I thought it was againt DOT to not have a headache rack when pulling flatbed... I know it used to be but oh of course this is trucking where one officer or state says its illegal when the other says its totally legal.... Lol thats what they do. Theres no actual stand point for truckers. We are basically judged right on side the road by DOT and depends on them and there judition.... Craziest shit i ever heard of in my life. God bless ya my bro and please be safe and stay on top of ya game big dawg 💪🏾
Dope video bro 🔥 im newish to steel securing so nooibe question.. why didnt you put another 4x4 (dunnage) in the middle of the rack so its not all warped? Gonna look like a snake piece of steel by the time it gets delivered 😂 or maybe not idk thanks for your feed back in advanced !
while fires are really bad theyre also really good for the enviroment (minus the smoke) its like a reset button and the entire ecosystem after it thrives its actually really cool. thats why some farmes burn their feilds after planting.

Salute to you brother.. clean truck.
Great video as always my man 🤙
Cool looking tractor. I like this grey color a lot!

Nice of you to give your truck a little break. Probably didnt even feel that tiny trailer with that baby load on there 👍🏾
True. You know your load. Can’t driving fast and think a big truck going to stop and the load doesn’t come forward. Know your load. Be safe out there 👍
Gorgeous truck my man!❤
I’m in love with your truck right now
You have one of the best jobs in the world. Take care.
New sub here ,dope rig love the color and stance 🔥
I always took a small screwdriver and widened the prongs in the trailer's socket to get the turn signal to keep working or insert a small folded piece of paper as I inserted the plug into the socket.
That’s one impressive Pete💯
Hey buddy I believe the Bearcats should be on the passenger side of the trailer and the long handle of the Bearcats MUST HAVE security wire thru a hole and fed back around the long handle. In 20 years you will understand. Maybe.
What you do is badass. And that rig, that thing is a beast. Great job brotha.
It’s a beautiful truck be safe out there….
Bro good to see you at my work
If you have a problem with the light cord not making correct contact, spray some windshield cleaner on your plug, works most often because the prongs get dirty.

Excellent, great video 👍
I thought I saw you headed south when I was headed north a few days ago just north of Roseburg, I was in my f350 shop truck that’s black with red wheels so you probably didn’t see me but your truck was looking good.
If you jump on that winch bar and it comes outta your hand you’ll launch it 100 yards in the other direction, ask me how I know
if you want to roll that hose up easier start by laying it out straight and its a lot smoother. from and old hand just passing it on brother.
Steel is easy. I use all my chains but I love chain loads so it’s fun for me
Awesome video 👍👍👍👍
Sicc Ass Truck! 👍🏽 from a 1203 Hauler in WA

Great content, God bless.
Great Video.
Where did you get that diamond vit interior done? Looks pretty awesome!
Brings me back to my flatbedding days. Hauled my fair share of steal. A lot coming out of Chicago.
Another solid vid bro, do you think at some point you can give an explanation of how you get up and over the mountain? like what gear you're using and rpms, do you clutch out of gear and rev into the next etc. I've been driving a 13 speed for years now but haven't had to take a mountain pass yet and its the only thing that gets me nervous.... thanks again man.

Man that was a nasty train of dry hay 😰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really like your truck bro.
Bro this beat go so hard!
Dang you went empty all the way to Sacramento from Washington. You could’ve hauled some coils from cascade steel to Stockton or some 60’ rebar to camblin steel in rocklin from Nucor or cascade or some lumber or something. That steel must’ve paid better than any steel I ever hauled
That Peters hay truck you passed has a C-16 in it. 👍🏻

Beautiful truck
