The 2019 Freightliner Cascadia I drive at work had no clutch brake. I told the shop it needed to be adjusted. They put a whole new clutch in it. Works great now.
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot I don't drive a truck but I'm pretty sure 10 ft of spread on your axles put a lot of leverage on a trailer. Especially in a tight turn with weight on.
I think your trailer was bowing cause all that weight was on one side. When I worked at a warehouse I always alternated sides when pulling material off.
Naa they bow out like that due to the tight turns, when they twist due to a load being off center the side the load is on twists down and bows in at the same time.
Better view of the front before we pull out....yup, that's exactly what she said ;-) You just expanded your business by 100% Good luck!! You forgot to mention how is the new clutch after the repair.
Awesome of you to help your big bro out and lease him on with you! I’m just surprised you agreed to do so, with how accident prone he is! Lol 😂 jk, best of luck you guys! Keep’em rolling!
You do realize that trailer is bowed like that cause you are in a half left turn with tension on that front axle pushing the trailer out on the right side.
I think his bed raises up and there's a table underneath of it and you need to watch the airlines on them Volvos some of them brought out especially after setting
I know it’s not Lita. (2nd driver) Just think if she had a CDL you could have showered at home, slept in your own bed. Is your brother’s wife going to drive? Have you mentioned your brothers experience in a semi? Driving same places could be a nice advantage. Plus look for a heavy tow rope. If one breaks down the other could complete trip, unhook, come back pull broken down combo off interstate. Unhook, pull broken down truck to shop, return, haul 2nd load while truck fixed. Hope this fixes the Mack.
I spent 15 years in trucking before my brother started driving. I drove for 4 years and worked in office for CR England as an operations manager. I had to get recertified for my cdl.
@@cnsfugate are you going to start vlogging from the road? I subscribe to your homestead channel but let us know if you start a trucking channel. Congratulations on the truck and good luck and be safe.
Old rule: never do business with family or close friends - it never ends well. I can tell you a dozen stories of people I have seen try and fail. I don't know anyone who made it work. Good luck, I hope you are the exception.
Great video. Be sure and keep us up to date on the clutch brake. Were you able to get any type of refund ? How was the Turkey? Next time you make a video with your brother if his wife is around include her. Does she have CDL license? That is a good looking rig that your brother has. What motor and transmission does it have ? You guys stay safe out there. 🙏👍💕🇱🇷
I'm getting a headache just THINKING about all the paperwork you had to go thru... people ask me all the time about me hiring on drivers and I'm like NO WAY! You are a lot younger and have time to grow your business so it's right for you. Hopefully your shifting problems are over. Still need an answer on why it happened so you can prevent the next one from crapping out. I like your brother's axle arrangement... that's what I would look for.
It's a Verizon. We just bought a sim from eBay from a seller. There's lots on there. But with the one we went with there's only certain hotspots that work because you have to change some settings
Robert I've been working as a Registered Nurse for the last 26 yrs. However, I'm wanting to buy a truck and trailer then lease on with someone, any suggestions?
A registered nurse to a truck driver?? I would try it out with a company with their truck first. You might hate it. If you still like it. I would check out landstar
Robert! Come on now! What was the outcome of you contacting the company about their employees ripping you off? You've left me hanging and my husband is cracking up. I binge watched all vids after this, just trying to get the "rest of the story". 🤷🤦
Good to see your brother on board now, keep it going guys !
You need to put a dump switch in your truck to dump the air in your rear axle and you will save on tires and get you out of a jam
Congratulations!!
Congrats to you & your brother nice setup rig ready for oversized loads $$$
Nice looking Volvo, my 70 and 71 Monte Carlos was either dark maroons or candy apple red with fish eyes in the paint back in my younger days.
Yep almost the color of my mustang
Congratulations to y’all brother 💪🏿🚛
The new supper power truckers. Good luck. Hope you get to work on your property some times.

Yep so far ours is perfect!! It's exciting!!
Did you ever get your dump valve figured out. Super trucker Dan always uses his when turning.
I haven't put anymore time into this yet.

Thanks for being smart enough to unload evenly space monkey. Can't tell you how many times I've had to tell forklift guys this.
He'll ya grow that business.

Congratulations. Y’all started at the bottom & grew fast . Happy for y’all
Good luck guy keep up the good work

Thanks Lee!
How cool man truckin with your brother keep the vids coming love the content
Pretty cool robert!
nothing like getting all up in your box!
Been watching you guys since day one. Thanks for showing the good, bad and the ugly.🇺🇸
The joys of trucking.
So what the story about the rest of the bill for fixing the clutch?
nice of you to give your brother the load
"Well is it a 50 foot load or a 52" -- lolz -- that was EXACTLY what I was thinking...
You doing great job bro. God bless you all
Good job Bobby helping out you little brother... lol this is Jovi
Sup brother! Save some fun for the rest of us in that snow!
Awesome “ with your brother and his truck working does that mean he’s going to video too? I’m glad for you all. Good Luck 🍀👍 and- Keep On Trucking.
Nope he will not be doing youtube
Congratulations! To the start of many more I'm sure.
No way lol. If my parents told me he was adopted I would kick him off lo
Awesome of you to help your big bro out and lease him on with you! I’m just surprised you agreed to do so, with how accident prone he is! Lol 😂 jk, best of luck you guys! Keep’em rolling!
Hell yeah man, good stuff. Hope the truck does good for him, he can't have worse luck than you, lol.
Haha
That is cool
You do realize that trailer is bowed like that cause you are in a half left turn with tension on that front axle pushing the trailer out on the right side.
Yes, but it's just crazy to see how much it bends
Good to see everything going good.So now we have an A team and B team .Litas top was good STAY WEIRD 😆.Anyway everyone stay safe 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Congrats
I think his bed raises up and there's a table underneath of it and you need to watch the airlines on them Volvos some of them brought out especially after setting
His is not the table kind sadly. Would be nice though
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot Damm that would be cool
11:19 time to crawl around under that trailer and look for cracks and broken welds, maybe with some weight on it.
Neighbors be like....."Great, another truck".
Who’s box are you referring to?
flexing is good
Back er up in the morning
Are you accepting any more trucks to lease on?

He drove for cr england for 5-6 years. His wife will not be driving, not sure if they plan on her either.
Big wide turns is how you get out of there.
I'm always open for the opportunity. 15 years in the oilfield and 5 otr.
Did your brother know how to drive semi or did he go to training school?
His brother may have trained at the SGHT Driver Training School. We’ll have to wait and find out!

Is your brother going to do youtube video to
No

This won't be the first time he's worked for me
That's fantastic hope everything works out well is your brother going to start a trucking channel or will they put stuff on the homestead channel
I don't think they will do either
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot bummer
Love all your videos man your nxt truck you need to get a volvo lot more room in the jnside
I believe I have more in my mack then he does.
Hey why does Chris get all the credit? Lol nice to see it go to a great outfit. Looks amazing.
It's simple
Be the last to leave
No eggs 4 u according to Mrs. Lita !!
What MTS asked… He got to start a RUclips channel‼️👍
You never finished your clutch brake story what happened with it all and how it's working
Working great! Still no word from the scam company
Is that your bother from Utah
Yep 👍
😂 I got picked the same time
Great video. Be sure and keep us up to date on the clutch brake. Were you able to get any type of refund ? How was the Turkey?

What hotspot you guys get and where is the service though I need one
It's a Verizon. We just bought a sim from eBay from a seller. There's lots on there. But with the one we went with there's only certain hotspots that work because you have to change some settings
Lita is lucky to have such a handsome husband.
That's what I was thinking 😅
Thats why us Canadians never used that 9 ft. spread.
Mines over 10' lol
Brother's trailer is nice, I bet it is not a "bender" like your's.

How much did adding a driver increase your insurance?
He's got a speeding ticket. But his is almost 1,900
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot thanks I’m about to add my uncle
You get out the way you came in. Right ?
I bet you were all the way up in someone else's box as well. Lmao.
I knew you could do it. Actually I didn't but good job.
Which came first chicken or the egg or the Neighbors fence
Have Lita pull out for you. ;>))
Wassup
Looks like savannah ga welcome center on 95. Yeah it's a bitch to get out bro but by the morning it gets cleared up
Clutch brake story?...how much?
Clutch brake was over $400 and the air lines were over 400. Almost $1000!!
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot Your gonna have to whoop some mechanics ass!
Maybe everyone is parked backwards. If you turn around you can pull right out .
It would take us back to the scale if we went the other way
Would have been interesting if I could have heard it.
what about their RUclips channel
Good luck on the taking on a second truck, You never finished about the 400 dollar charge for the two air lines, that it self is a rip off.
That was pretty much it. Waiting to hear back from the company
I’ve been all the way up in a box before
Did she know though? Lol
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot at least twice. Kids to prove it 😂
wasn't that long ago you was wanting a job at your brothers work.
Yeah isn't it crazy how it changed....
The last person in the world I would work for is a RUclipsr .
Brother gonna use same channel?
No I don't think he's interested in doing trucking youtube
@@SouthGeorgiahotshot aw man...too bad?
@@famouslocal0516 it's a lot of work. He sees what we have to go through lol
Maybe practice backing out don't seem like you do alot of reversing... maybe just practice sometime... it would help...
I only like to back when I have to lol
Awesome dude. But you never finished your story about writing the company.
Still waiting to hear back. Probably never will
Hi
Your brother bought a good looking rig Now all he needs to do is buy a set of wheels or paint them awful looking things gray or white.
What's up
That’s the dumbest parking lot I’ve ever seen
I heard you have Covid, but you look fine!
This is an old video
Yep video is a little old
Hope WalMart leaves before you Robert
Robert! Come on now! What was the outcome of you contacting the company about their employees ripping you off? You've left me hanging and my husband is cracking up. I binge watched all vids after this, just trying to get the "rest of the story". 🤷🤦
Still waiting on an email back
VERY old out of date video.
Well I'm not going to comment on your posts anymore. They're so far in the past my comment will be obsolete.
Yeah falling a little behind. My new years resolution is to get caught up
Cool, can't wait to rejoin the conversation.
Robert only if you would have kept going stop over reacting
I like your brothers setup better than yours.
It's nice that's for sure
