- Hey guys sorry this video took sooo long to come out! I was actually only down for a little over a week when the turbo went out, but it took me another 3 weeks to find time to edit everything together! 😂
Come join me as I explain what was done to my truck, and do my first load back! (Sooiler Alert, its with the moffett!)

I found your channel about 2 weeks ago. In that 2 weeks you have become my favorite RUclipsr, and I have learned so much from your videos. I must say thank you so much for the effort you are putting into doing this for us, it is much appreciated. I'm a 48 year old Michigan resident. Spent the last 29 years in sweat shop factory work. About this time a year ago I decided I had suffered enough, and walked away from everything I knew, went to CDL school, and became a driver in January 2022. It has been the most challenging, exciting, nerve-wracking, enjoyable, terrifying, and life-improving 9 months of my life. Being a trucker has been everything I had hoped it would be, and more. I have my doubles/triples, tanker, and hazmat endorsements, just doing dry van for now, but I want to get into the big-boy stuff someday. Any advice on a career path I should take?
Keep doing what you’re doing! Take a look at the names on the side of the door of the other trucks you see driving on the road and if you see a gig that you think would be right for you, look em up!
I like your channel because you don't play load cover music.I like to hear the engine :)
Im from Croatia and im going to school as a professional truck driver..
I will definitely spend a lot of time in EU trucks, but sometime in the future I plan to make it in America
Your videos are certainly an inspiration ❣️
One of the many reasons that the PA Turnpike is so expensive is because of the legislative Act signed in 2007. The Act compels the Turnpike to pay PennDot 450M per year thru June 2022. At that point, it was reduced to 50M p/y until 2057. Thus far the Turnpike has paid 8B to PennDot.
Why they had to pay need that huge money?

Watching you on that phone Satellite Map view studying your route brought back some memories ❤
I hauled produce from south FL to Halifax, NS, cleared the border all the time, pretty quickly, it wasn't bad at all, they were looking for drugs back then in trailer and inside my truck, specifically if it was a FL load
Google Maps, and so many other trucker apps are a way of life today, indispensable it seems. Looking back to 1979 when I started, we did it with a McNally Road Atlas, (paper pages type) sitting right there over that passanger seat, if you didn't have a pocket on the side your door to place it, also we needed a pocket full of quarters, nickels and dimes to stop in town to make that payphone call (we had no cell phones) getting specific roadway detailed directions to the delivery and usually you got good directions, some times they made mistakes saying to make a left instead of right turn, other times it was my mistake
How quickly we have adjusted to technology, it was so different back then than today
BINGE watching again 😍👍
Im surprised the MTO went after you on the pipes. There are tons of straight pipe trucks out there in Ontario. And personally, I'd rather they focus on real safety issues. I see a lot of trash on the roads around Toronto and area. Glad to see you are on the road again. That all said, I have had them go after me for using rubber bungees to hold down a tarp... Told me they have no WLL while all of mine were new and tagged for 50lbs WLL...
42PSI! wow.
If you or you know someone that welds pretty good, can always cut the muffler, weld in the straight pipe so the appearance is that you HAVE a muffler, but of course you will know what really went on there. Plus you can still say that "Yes, I do have a muffler." even though it might not muffle anymore.
Good having you back on the road (I know it's October now just catching up).
Good to see you back, always enjoy the asmr aspect of just listening to the turbo spool and the jake thunder down a solid grade hill. Years on it still is not old.
10/10 on the truckies hand waves mate. Good solid salutes on the 'Hello boys' level of professional.
Cheers from an Aussie trucker.
Looks like a nice long road one , will dig this later tonight ! Thanks Matt 🤘🏻
Welcome back!! Thank you for sharing
I have and still am learning a lot about trucking following the channel and going back looking at older content. Thank you.
Hello you did a lot of repairs on that old girl you must have over a million kms on that truck and cops in Ontario don’t like straight pipes on anything that on the road. I thought you were gone from RUclips thankgod your still here love channel here from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️😎
Yep 1.89million k and counting! She’s been a money put this year though not gonna lie
Cut the internals out and weld a pipe in the muffler. Looks legit still get the sound
I like you idling in front of a no "idling diesel engines" sign.
Glad you’re back! Had to rewatch a few of your older videos during your hiatus. Anyways hope all is well with the truck love the videos as always
Turbo whine👍
Long play👍
Peterbilt 👍
You drive that truck like a boat waving to every trucker!
great to see you on the road! Jsut saw the last video so i guess im playing catch up!
Hahaha, Can't wait for the next story time!
Fan is probably staying on longer because its probably humid outside due too the storm so the AC is trying harder to keep up so keeps the fan running.
was just hoping you would be posting soon. Just started my own O/O in an 01 W900! Look forward to more videos and welcome back.
Congrats that’s a big step!
Yeah Matt is back! Glad the turbo repair went relatively smoothly ;) Goddess is roaring like a wild kitten again 😆. That gearing crunch issue is the next, and it always will be something 🤷♂️. That's the way it is, same like having a house. Constant tweaking, preventive maintenance or just keeping up with repairs 😆. Keep it up my man, loving your positive energy & pro skills 😉. Cheers!!
Welcome back dude I really enjoy your videos, I just bought a 1977 freightliner cabover single axle, a retirement toy for me to just play with. Congratulations on your rebuild. I don’t know if you want to try centramatics on your front axle for the tires, they work fantastic for the tire wear and shakes.at least they work for me.
Can't believe that you were over here in the Cuse. Actually. You were in Liverpool. Glad things went well. Got some great customers over here. They get it. Time is money. They usually don't make you wait around to get unloaded. Stay Safe and TRUCKEM EASY out there. ! 🇺🇸👍
Yay! Another upload. I’ve been watching all your old stuff.
It’s nice to see Matt waves at his fellow drivers, I didn’t think truckers did that anymore
Nice to see you're back Matt, and it's great to see the old money pit back on the road, missed seeing her eating the miles away .😁 great vid as usual .👍
Haha yep she’s been a money put this year for sure!! 😅
Hopefully I’ll get to run into ya when I’m up north again!
15:38 I was waiting for you to say wait an hour after a meal before you go swimming ! Good to see ya back!
Welcome back, glad to hear and see the truck running again. Truck's when they are running and working are making you money, when they break and new maintenance, ugh the pain in the pocket. Well thats trucking. Hang in there my friend, you got this. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.
As a artic (semi) driver from across the pond in the uk i find it interesting just how many other lorries you say hello to. Is it anyone in a similar wagon or just whoever waves first? Over here its generally only other drivers you know personally / firms that do the same work as your firm. Glad to see you're back looking forward to more.
Usually every truck on a back road, and a nice truck that will catch my eye on the highway
Good to see you back on the road again driver! Truck on!!
Trucks trucks and more friggen trucks.Unreal.

Welcome back 😎🇺🇸💪💪💪
I'm glad you're back to trucking. I had no idea that you came all the way across the United States. That's a long haul brother
Really like your videos. Gary Godfrey
So glad it got fixed and it roars loud and proud as always! I will watch the video later when it is my mealtime. Be safe on the road Matt and I am so happy to see you back!
Glad to see you back on trucking my friend, drive safe
Love to see ya wave at the other drivers out there!
Glad to see you back , I hope all is well and your doing what you like too do ❤️😎
95 psi +-4, for the fuel gauge I had to pull my dash panel and unplug, reinstall the wires and bingo bango 👍
Hate that the dot made you put exhaust straight pipes sounds so much better
Awesome
Have you ever had the ride height checked. That will give you a possible vibration. The ac fan issue could be a high pressure switch,possibly over charged system. Maybe have the alignment checked for the tire cupping.If the drives are out,it will also affect the steer toe in.Sorry i know I’m full of bad news to spend your hard earned cash. Lol
I cant wait to hear youre arrest story big fellah.
The rubber at the engine bracket or the middle joint in the axle need replace.
These rates are tough for us owner operators.
Yeah tell me about it!
Come on the 407 has to be the most expensive in North America if you include the transponder
Glad you’re back rolling brother! Love the ASMR in the beginning.

Welcome back, truck sounds good!
Love your video's man, Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Greetings!
My engine fan on my 2000 is the same way. It stays on for forever it seems like.
Keep rollin' brother!
Just fyi. I try to remember to hit Like before the video is over. A simple reminder would be good for everyone including you. ;)
well i for one missed you and your videos lol
I was watching a video last week, the thumbnail had a truck looked like yours. It was not you stuck on train tracks. Lmao
good to see u back man
Isn't it funny how when you're mentally calibrated to backing double trailers, going back to a single trailer can screw with you? I ran a 5 axle dump truck with 3 axle con gear dolley and 3 axle trailer for 2 years. When I went back to a normal 5 axle tractor trailer, it took me a few weeks to readjust to a trailer responding to what I wanted it to do...
Welcome back
hey how are ya bud love that turbo whistle
Your. Going down hwy 6 to the hwy cool
Hey Matthew, if you continue to have any issues that are left unresolved by your current shop, I strongly recommend getting a load to Edmonton and hitting up Dave's Diesel Repair in Acheson (5 minute drive west of Edmonton) Man's been working on CAT engines since 1491 😉 BTW, fuck that Ontario dot guy thinking you need heat shields and a muffler 😒 he sees you maybe once a year at most anyway 🤷🏼♂️ he can shush up
You were missed! :)
Your front steers? You upgraded to two sets of steers now too?:P :P Haha Just bugging ya
😂😂
Dummy muffler maybe? 🤫
😂 shhhhhhh things may change!
Would love to see you doing some cold starts. Is it ever hard to start in really cold weather?
Yeah she gets cranky in the cold if it’s not plugged in overnight!
What is the indicator near the mirror?
👍👍👍👍😎😎🙏💯
We need to hear that border arrest story 😂
1600km per tank, pulling heavy. bruh your truck is the most fuel efficient truck on the planet. And it's a cat too.
Is it possible for you to give some details about the engine you are using, the heavy load is how much heavy? aroun 80hk 100k? what is the fuel consumption per mile? around 3-4? what is the size of your tanks?
Heavy load is ~90’000lbs and the truck can weigh up to 140’000lbs, get about 4 - 4.5 mpg (us) and around 500L tanks 👍
🖐️👋👍😍
Engine Mounts?
I'm no pro mechanic but have you ever serviced anything with the rear driveshafts or diff fluids?
Yep front diff (power divider) has silver in the oil and was just replaced, rear is about 2 years old and was just inspected
As a non-trucker, I would've thought that the b trains would be harder to back up. Or is it just a practice thing?
The regular single trailer is hard to back up at first until you learn but the B train is harder. Obviously with practice anything becomes better.
Oh it’s definitely a out of practice thing! I’m so used to the btrains that a single trailer takes more brain power at this point 😂
Jake brake works great...wake up the indians lol :D
Canada lol
Hey
Wow.. do you play bass? - 13:20
Yeppers!
How is it possible to be owner operator with a moffett? Do you stay local mostly?
Why?
Hey mate, what turbo did you put on?
Borg Warner 0000 I believe
@@callthemall Rodja that 👍🏼
Is that a 13 speed?
18 speed
If you can catch a glance at the splitter switch on the side of the shifter, red = 13, blue = 15, grey = 18.
What happen?
Turbo blew up, got some other work done while it was down too
@@callthemall .. Damn gotcha. It's always something with these trucks man
