I have just discovered you channel, and as a British person with a love of American trucks I'm really pleased I did. I first fell in love with Peterbilt's 362 CABOVER in 1992, on a trip from Boston to Watkins Glen NY, to watch the 'Budweiser at the Glen' Nascar 'race. I saw plenty of them on the i90 and I've been smitten ever since. I'm glad to see the old-timer is still earning its keep, and long may it continue.Cheers from the UK.🇺🇸🇬🇧
steve i am in jamaica i bought a 1987 international cabover tipper last week doing some cleaning on it and getting it ready for the sand work it running very gd
I know i said it before about Orwell needing new polished wheels on the back but i want to make a suggestion for a kick ass video - Orwell needs a full day at the spa! polished wheels all the way around, polished tanks, full buff and polished cab, new flaps and chrome hangers. . I mean orwell is the face/mascot of FSC (no offense Steve) and he needs to go down the road with some bling and polish. What a great idea for a video - ORWELL GETS A DAY AT THE SPA! Maybe cost you 1k for day of polish and some goodies. You can pay me later for the video idea Steve-o :)
Yes ser that 379 was a nice looking truck but as i like to say the older the better and Orwell has a great owner that is you steve and i love the old cabover trucks they are unfortunately getting more and more rare and is sad
I've been a subscriber, and followed you on so many adventures for a long time. I am also an SCS American Truck Simulator Fan, so you can image my sheer delight, when I found out I could buy and download Orwell. It has become one of my most treasured trucks. I now drive Orwell most days from my home in Oxfordshire, UK ! Keep that lovely truck running Steve.
Got to love the sound of industrial equipment going by, car honking, trucks backing up and the birds singing in the back ground. That sound like an early but mid morning. LoL Steve that base on the ear phone. LoL 10/10 on the coal coming out the stacks. Thanks for the vid Steve.
Well I guess that diaphragm was a lot of problems for Orwell. He sounds a little better just listening to the pipes. Be careful and have fun on this run. Even tho it is a month ago. Lol
Hey Steve, I was just looking at Orwell when you dropped your trailer and hook back up to it back your fifth wheel plate jump up going towards forward from the back check your fifth wheel plate
Awesome video there's always Steve. Touch longer would have been nicer just getting settled in listen to the home of Orwell and all of a sudden is over.
I came across your channel by chance. I didn't understand much of what you were saying (my English isn't that good) but the video was still interesting for me. Nice summary of the sequences. I really like your truck, it's very rare to see something like this in Germany. We have the most boring trucks in the world. Maybe you can activate the subtitles on your videos so I can understand what you're saying, that would be great.👍 Greetings from Germany Stephan
Just a bit oldfashioned system of having to uncouple the trailer to take the tension of the pins which (manually) release/secure the gooseneck. And propping up the gooseneck with a large block of wood. Those sliding bars up to the fifth wheel and the back part of the tractor chassis take quite a beating this way. Nice that over here we have goosenecks that release, level and such with hydraulics and don't have to be uncoupled/coupled up again.
Steve, I want to say first, Thanks for another cool video! Screw the haters ! oh, could you lower the air ride on those oversized loads to get the height under? I know you can do it on some Military vehicles.
Growing up here in New England there were some heavy haulers here and I was always amazed what size loads and equipment they hauled. Would a laser measuring tool help on the height measurements ? Thanks for the video and a salute to you Heavy Haulers !!!
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Orwell sounds good under that load since you fixed the AFD. Definitely nice when you step on the pedal and have power to maintain speed. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
Steve no hate at all brother. You need a lowboy trailer with the gas powered hydraulic system to remove the gooseneck. This is not a hate comment at all but that’s a lot of work that you are doing. I respect you for doing what you got to do and making money with an old truck.
I missed out in viewing some of your recent videos (within my normal 24 hours or less from their scheduled drop time) because my ole cellphone died. Both of those engine repair jobs that you did on Orwell (before MATS) made a definite difference in the sound quality coming out of his pipes under a load.
When you're running on the wavy/bumpy road, then the fire truck gets momentum up n down, will it make the chain hooks lose the tension? Just because the fire truck also has the momentum up n down from suspensions and tyres. Till now, I'm still confused which is the better way to attach the hook, in the body frame of cargo, or in each of the tyres.
back in my early truck driving tankers for amoco oil , had a coe BROCKWAY 10 speed, back then early 70s didnt need any cdl or any haz. endorsememnts or any thing , just a drivers license and be breathing
If your exhaust stacks are a known height, why not just get a laser level mounted to the stack point and the load then measure off that. Easier than using that tape bending every little kink.
Does the fifth wheel have a locking chain on the pull bar in the uk where im from we use locking chain on the pull bar to stop it it realising as it been known the trailer has slid off the fifth wheel
Steve--Boy_I like how you take pride in your craft-the hook ups and such. Boy-those chains are pretty old--I haven't seen that kind of hook in many years. Look bigger than 1//2"-maybe 5/8" ?? See they still got he metal certifaction tags still hanging on--that is a rarity also. Keep her safe, man--lottsa crazies out here. So easy for things to go wrong.
Anda pengemudi trailer yang sangat teliti sekali dalam keselamatan barang yang anda bawa ...sangat sulit menemukan orang sepeti anda di negara saya ....good job ....👍👍👍
Hi Steve watching you drag out the big block of wood and put it under the deck when you break down the trailer I was wondering if you couldn’t do what the people who run frameless dump trailers do by putting bar or heavy wall pipe under the fifth wheel too keep it from tipping they are easy too put in and take out when not needed
I'm a PEVO Driver and honestly the OS loads aren't really exciting for me but dang it all seeing that Pete Cab Over going down the road that is EXCITING ASF #LONGLIVETHECABOVER
Hey .. one question .. why can't we deflate tyres of loaded vehicles to reduce heights .. is that not easy to manage height of load?? Respect to people like you on all efforts and work done for management of such loads.
Hello Steve,if I were you, I'd be looking for another lowboy trailer that's longer than the one you have. That way, you can haul the bigger toys,just saying that's all
The problem with that is those longer RGNs are mostly set up with hydraulics for dropping and picking up the trailer, either through a pony motor on the neck or a wet kit on the rig itself. The advantage for what he's running now is it doesn't have that extra stuff that could fail on him. There is an extra axle dolly he could try to find that would connect behind the trailer, making it a triple axle and allow for heavier loads, but he hasn't got it and it wouldn't extend the well deck, unlike Tim Gentry's recent trailer purchase for moving boats that can extend itself a good six feet.
Steve likes to run the shorter trailer because of running loads to the original 13 colonies. Narrow streets, tight corners, twisty roads, and all. A long nose and max length trailer would be a huge headache there.
I give you a lot of credit for keeping that ole truck running down the road,not a lot of people can do that these days. Good for you.
Actually, they're easier to run than the modern trucks with all their electronics. Simple, straight forward, and basic...so easily maintained
Orwell yanked that load up and ran with it! I just love it! Glad you were able to get him fixed.
Aaagh! Friggin' HATE stop light squatters 29:50 makin' Orwell hit the binders for nuthin'! Good travels you two.
To me, someone who is looking for a payday 😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hey Steve! Been A Bit Busy, Not Being Able To Catch As Much Videos, But Still Supporting You! Wishin' You The Best!!
It is awesome to see a cabover Peterbilt still working. And the exhaust fits the truck's personality perfectly.
Proudly wearing one of your FSC Trucking shirts in Battle Creek, Michigan that I received in the mail the other day. Safe travels ahead.
Orwell is running mint with the AFD fixed! Awesome video Steve!
Cab over view is way better 👍👍👍
4:50 must be the pitch of that area, but Orwell looks badass in that stance!
I have just discovered you channel, and as a British person with a love of American trucks I'm really pleased I did.

i love listening to orwell sing. man it sounds good.
That's one amazing load. Orwell sounds the best with that 3406B Cat.
Old School Cool!
Yes ser that 379 was a nice looking truck but as i like to say the older the better and Orwell has a great owner that is you steve and i love the old cabover trucks they are unfortunately getting more and more rare and is sad

looks like orwell is feeling his load safe travels
Very cool video, I was starting to wonder if you could get under it or not, but then came the power oh yeah. Stay safe n have a great week
Got to love the sound of industrial equipment going by, car honking, trucks backing up and the birds singing in the back ground. That sound like an early but mid morning.
LoL Steve that base on the ear phone. LoL 10/10 on the coal coming out the stacks. Thanks for the vid Steve.
LOVE LOVE the view forward on the striker
The bark out of those stacks is awesome . Alot more chrisp . You can hear each cylinder fire .now thats old school cool .Denis from santa rosa ca
Well I guess that diaphragm was a lot of problems for Orwell. He sounds a little better just listening to the pipes. Be careful and have fun on this run. Even tho it is a month ago. Lol
41 looks rough ,Orwell is sounding good safe trip.
It is. Have been up and down that route plenty of times with dry vans and reefers 😊
Hey Steve, I was just looking at Orwell when you dropped your trailer and hook back up to it back your fifth wheel plate jump up going towards forward from the back check your fifth wheel plate
Awesome video there's always Steve. Touch longer would have been nicer just getting settled in listen to the home of Orwell and all of a sudden is over.
I like your videos. They show the daily business of a trucker.
Get angry Orville. Be the beast. Tug!
I came across your channel by chance.
I didn't understand much of what you were saying (my English isn't that good) but the video was still interesting for me. Nice summary of the sequences.

In love with 352 and 362 Pete Cabover.. Biggest and coolest video.. Thanks for sharing your work and travelling.. Cheers from France !
Hello Steve. Watching from Eastern North Carolina
Im a truck driver in the Netherlands, i love seeing how yall do it in the us

Love those Jakes and Stacks
I see after you fixed orwell she still rolls old school coal awesome video
love the sound of orwell
Orwell makin' sweet music...
Steve / W5BIB - OTR 1977-2009 (miss the way it was)
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. Orwell sounds good under that load since you fixed the AFD. Definitely nice when you step on the pedal and have power to maintain speed. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
That load made Orwell do a power squat! Heavy Truck!
Absolutely amazing what goes into transporting anything by truck , you guys and gals who do it every day deserve a lot of thanks👏👍
Love the sound of that big ol' Cat.
Steve no hate at all brother. You need a lowboy trailer with the gas powered hydraulic system to remove the gooseneck. This is not a hate comment at all but that’s a lot of work that you are doing. I respect you for doing what you got to do and making money with an old truck.
Very unique way to measure height. Need to learn the way he was doing it. 18:22 19:13 . Hahahaha it is so funny.
I missed out in viewing some of your recent videos (within my normal 24 hours or less from their scheduled drop time) because my ole cellphone died. Both of those engine repair jobs that you did on Orwell (before MATS) made a definite difference in the sound quality coming out of his pipes under a load.
Hope you have a safe trip!
Wow that thing takes up the entire trailer and an older cabover is hauling it what a sight this is
I’ll tell my good friend who is an engineer at Oshkosh to engineer a truck that isn’t over height when loaded on a low boy!!!
Good rainy evening brother

Hello bro...i like your job.....I AM FROM SUMATRA INDONESIA
Impressive how well a stock 3406 pulls ...
Need words on-screen, please. Have a safe trip!
Great Job 👍👍 Best regards from Germany
فعلا اقوى جرار راس خلق فى الكرة الارضية هذا الجرار القوى فى السحب❤❤❤
To pervertion?
back in my early truck driving tankers for amoco oil , had a coe BROCKWAY 10 speed, back then early 70s didnt need any cdl or any haz. endorsememnts or any thing , just a drivers license and be breathing
I wonder if that Brockway didn't happen to have a 2-stroke Detroit under the doghouse.
Now, this nation has turned to Paranoia Nation. Got to have special licenses for everything ! Is getting a bit ridiculous 😮😮😢😢😢😢😢
Hi I like your Peterbilt!!
Nice big load. You got this handled.
Orwell sounds back to nornal and smokes like it used to. Congrats. on fixing it.
Nice Truck. 😃👍
Looking and sounding good 👍
Great content Steve…keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍👍
You should look at the New K22 Kenworth Cabover released hear in australia they are Nice Rig
Great rooftop camera position!!!
Them chains are just on for looks 😂I’d have a stroke putting a load like that 😂
That CAT sounds great 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Good job Steve

Я английский язык очень плохо знаю,но я понял все,что ты делал. Отличная работа 👍

Orwell seems to have his old get up and go.
Anda pengemudi trailer yang sangat teliti sekali dalam keselamatan barang yang anda bawa ...sangat sulit menemukan orang sepeti anda di negara saya ....good job ....👍👍👍
should make a visit to the dixie boy truck stop lol
You can buy a hight stick for the truck saves climbing up
That’s one weird looking fire truck!!
It's meant for airports, not municipalities
It's built to fly across airports to put out burning planes. They can hit 100 mph easily.
Hi Steve watching you drag out the big block of wood and put it under the deck when you break down the trailer I was wondering if you couldn’t do what the people who run frameless dump trailers do by putting bar or heavy wall pipe under the fifth wheel too keep it from tipping they are easy too put in and take out when not needed
Good work 👏 Trailer can use a paint job 👍
I could watch Orwell send smoke all day long
Also, did Orwell used to have a roof wing? Don't know why I'm just noticing the bracket on top of the cab
@@jbhfarming Yes he did, back when he was owned by Keen Trucking in PA.
Brother keep it trucking
Ótimo trabalho cara
Beautiful trucks ❤❤❤❤❤
Good job steve❤❤❤

Still rolling more coal than some frickin' Paccar.
What engine are you running....its sweet sounding...makes me wanna go back on the road....great video

Always.

Nice.
Steve, can you drop the air ride on the fire truck before you tie it down to save on height?🤔
truck has, a very strong engine in it. 👈👀👀👺👍
Hello Steve,if I were you, I'd be looking for another lowboy trailer that's longer than the one you have. That way, you can haul the bigger toys,just saying that's all
I'd get a three axle if it were me.

Another benefit of the shorter trailer and cabover is he can run loads around 45k without going over 80k gross.
your very good doing your job what GPS you used on your phone thank.
