It’s hard sometimes to stay sane but after a good cool down I can get a game plan and work things out. Things are turning around for the old green truck
Gerald everybody wants free shit. I’ve never got any free shit in my life before. You have to work for your money. This earth has come to a cataclysmic debacle with people. With all that being said brother you have a great weekend. Have a blessed weekend hang in there, man🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
One way to help solve your fuel problems is convert.That truck to a single draw.Single return with a cross over. That will help you out. Stay safe out there, brother.Some days are frustrating.
That’s definitely a way to fix the draw issue. I love this setup and works well when it’s working good and want to convert the 359 to this system just for the returns the go to both tanks for cold weather. I’ve got everything fixed now and they are within two gallons on a fill up now
Feel your pain. I've been there and done that. Older equipment is definitely a challenge. But at least you don't have to worry about replacing a 10.000 def system or an electronic dash. It will get better when you get the problems worked out. Hang in there truck driver.
It’s a challenge for sure. One thing about it is I don’t have huge payments and I’ve always got lots of equity in my equipment. I can go home when I want to and if I need to sell anything I’m going to come out way ahead.
You’re in my stomping grounds right there at the beginning. That’s the Audubon bridge. It’s the 2nd largest cable bridge in the western hemisphere… and nobody hardly crosses it😂
Sorry you had a frustrating week. Hopefully your next week is better. Fortunately his week wasn't that bad. I thank you Gerald for keeping me entertained for 25 to 35 minutes each week he does enjoy your videos
Every week I look forward his message to see what he thought about the video. I continue to pray for him every day. My week wasn’t bad but a tad frustrating. Tell him I’ve been working on this old girl and she ain’t going to whoop me down. Ive mad a lot of progress lately and I’ve got some big plans coming up
Checking in on ya brother. How ya comin along w BIG GREEN. You get that fuel problem fixed I think you’re go. A have less stress. And fixing that bell housing. You’ll feel better. Keep pushing forward waiting on another video. And make sure you fit your family in. They number one period. Be safe
Thanks man! Everything is back together and the fuel issues are gone. It’s been real nice driving it the last few weeks! I’m about to slow down a little and have some family time so stay tuned for the summer videos
Man I tipped 2 guys good at that truck wash on 64 in Indiana one day. Got me all shined up, went across the street to pilot. Parked front row to show off my shiny unit. I walked out and the bastards didn’t even wash the passenger side stack. Never tipped anyone else.
Man I quit tipping too. The guys at Mr clean done me in one night. Missed spots all over and when I pulled out the bay and started wiping the spots they clearly missed they actually came out the wanting a tip. It’s amazing the place got bought out and is really no better
I feel for Ya Sir damn the luck , as my Cuz says , i think Ya been snake bit , Schitt !! i'd been drunk by now or squallin !! or both cryin drunk !! its bound to get better one day !! Soon I hope !! Nobody deserves what ya dealing with ,in my opinion . i be honest the thought of wanting to own one crossed my mind once , but it passed pretty quick . Wish Ya the Best with it !! Take care !!
I agree with you on the tips I got one once in NYC I told the guy hey man you don't need to do that but he wouldn't take no for an answer, I guess that's the way it is around there and it was a tight place to get into.
I've fixed 2 trucks that had just enough algae growth that it would flake off from the interior of the tank and plug up the filters constantly. I threw in a handful of 1/4 inch bolts to scrub the tank while the fuel sloshed, after driving with the bolts, drain the fuel and drop the tanks. put blankets down to keep from damaging them, add 10 gals of gas , roll and slosh it around till your tanks are clean, remove the 1/4 bolts. i would use biocide for a few weeks but your tanks will be clean. Hope this helps if you've got algae growing producing the black flakes that plug filters.
I watch paperboy he pulls an oakley trailer. Some loads he has the trailer held halfway up feeding an auger. Does the pump run the whole time or is there a valve holding pressure? Dig what you do sir.
The pto is still running and the pump is operated by the air control in the cab. It’s basically on stand by and can be engaged both on and off Anytime the pto is engaged
bACK IN LATE 70S EARLY 80S.if you had a truck like that you where god hauling grain in mn.we had gmc astros and international 2s.my company had 150 trucks then you got leftovers that where pulled off of over the road service
The guy at the truck wash Is always begging. The place your loading at In forest ms they process their chicken bi products as the chickens trucks comes in.. they don't be in a hurry
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I’m going back to running one truck. Keeping drivers and trucks maintained by myself plus driving them and paying bills. Then doing the math with fuel so high pulling hoppers local I’m breaking even at best. One’s enough for me right now. If my sons get cdl’s then I might fire a couple of them back up.
Man I feel like I’m having bad day till I watch your videos! My hats off to ya for how you mentally/emotionally keep it together!!

Thanks dude! I agree people want free stuff and our culture and government has made it the norm in society
I pull a hopper in NC. Every time I haul wheat mids I get a breakout. I remembered you talking about the auto immune thing. Stay safe!
Yeah man. Those mids make me itch.

lol that’s it. I usually cross it in the middle of the night and it’s kinda creepy coming from the east with it being so dark and no one else on it

Hi Gerald Friday nite. Just watching the show. Always enjoy.
Thank you! I sure appreciate you watching and commenting every week
I agree with you on the tips I got one once in NYC I told the guy hey man you don't need to do that but he wouldn't take no for an answer, I guess that's the way it is around there and it was a tight place to get into.
Yeah man. Guys at the truck wash have always been like that. Those guys got spoiled back in the day when we really made good money
That one thing I seen some nice seat covers but your little Hijacker the best !!!
Yeah man I love him going when he can. He is actually piggy back as I’m typing this😂
Gerald sorry you had a bad trip brother. That totally sucks.
That’s part of trucking man. It sucks but we got to move on. I got paid for it but I’d rather just loaded and got the hell out of there
"Go eat Yellow Snow" 😂😂😂😂 The audacity.. LOVE YOUR VIDS BIG GUY
Thanks man!
I feel your pain it can be overwhelming sometimes but hang in there.
Got to roll with the punches!!!!
Gerald sorry about the cluster f!!! I guess that’s trucking

Man it actually was a collapsed fuel line. It was so bad when I took it off you could see it externally
@@thedirtytrucker9633 Oh good, glad you got it figured out

Damn it man hope everything works out man. Need to do a cleansing on the 379 😂
It’s going to work out man. I’ve been making large strides getting the 379 right
Hope it gets better Man !! Damn , i dont see how ya lasted this long , Best of luck !!
Man it’s getting better every day. It takes a lot of hard work but it’s coming around
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I hear Ya Sir !! i've always said a man got to work harder for himself than for some one else .
Man those are words that are sooooo true!
Wonderful ! Beggars at trailer washes. Give the place a bad review and contact the owner enjoy your video
No kidding. That place is crazy
Hope you get the green truck all in order it’s hard to enjoy trucking when all you do is work on them.
Thanks man. I’ve been working hard on it and when you see the fruits prosper some it’s a good feeling. Things are looking better now
@@thedirtytrucker9633 Good deal if you ever need a reminder of what that truck means to you just watch the video of when you got it back lol.
No doubt man. Looking back in old pictures keeps me going too
bACK IN LATE 70S EARLY 80S.if you had a truck like that you where god hauling grain in mn.we had gmc astros and international 2s.my company had 150 trucks then you got leftovers that where pulled off of over the road service
Man I can remember riding with my dad to these mills in the 80’s in big 359s and the other guys losing their minds
Looks like you was loading out of one of those Mississippi chicken plants
Yes sir. Forest, Mississippi
Damn it Driver that damn 379 don't wanna work but in order make money got to spend money and way trucking going now we don't have any money 10-4. lol
That’s right! I’ve been making pretty good strides lately in getting the old girl right
The guy at the truck wash Is always begging. The place your loading at In forest ms they process their chicken bi products as the chickens trucks comes in.. they don't be in a hurry
That’s the one. I use to help a buddy with some loads and came down there a lot 10-15 years ago. I like it just as much now as back then
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I freaking hated that place I was hour from home but sat there 8hrs
they have a truck driver WAITING for DIRT? lol
Rush hour through little rock isn't fun :>
Don’t sell the 379, just keep working on it as u go.
That what I’m doing. I figured out that I’m going to have to run it and make everything on it a priority. I’ve come along way on it lately
Hi Junkyard Dog
Sorry Dirty Trucker. I thought it said Junkyard Dog
What’s up Tim?
i dont want tne 379 iwant the 359
I love them both! Through some unfortunate circumstances I got to drive them both This week!
Better get the 359 fixed the way you want it before you go selling anything
lol! I can’t sell anything! I got the trucks I want. It’s just frustrating in the heat of the moment 😂
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I know all about getting irritated when crap goes wrong. Every time you get a dollar put back something cost you two.
That’s true man! I keep planning all the time on different projects on both trucks how much it’s going to cost! Sometimes it’s over whelming
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I’m going back to running one truck. Keeping drivers and trucks maintained by myself plus driving them and paying bills.

It’s all good Tim!
teach that kid not to put his feet up on the dash. If not for your truck, for others guy's truck dashes?
