Best thing in the world when driving truck is seeing that kid given the arm pump for the horn put a smile on my face everytime no matter how bad my days goin gotta show my 1 1/2 yr old how it's done lol keep the hammer down pal
Really enjoy the videos. I live in CT but lived upstate a few years back. Ran for Ron Allen for about 5 years. Nice to visit the old haunts without the snow. Nice job
Great lookin truck Wes, glad work is steady for u guys. When drivers come in at work they are always complaining about the lack of work. I think it’s got a lot to do with your motto “Let’s get back to work !!”
Work has been steady. My thing is I’ll take a short day or week and not complain because the next week might be really big. Take the breaks when they come and the money when that comes.
Its about building a community Wes, and I think your going in the right direction. Enjoy the videos alot! Todd Konoske the retired trucker ( Elmira, Or. )
I see longhorn guys everyday in lansing,NY hauling salt from Cargill. They have some beautiful trucks for such a big fleet. Would love to drive for them, but they are a little to far for a daily commute.
Hey Wes, love the video, just found you and now a subscriber. Love the truck I have a kw myself 01 with a c15 cat with 550 horses with the 18 speed as well. What a work horse. Keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.
I just found your channel and am catching up. As a CNY'er who went to college in Plattsburgh and is now living in NC, I really enjoy seeing all the scenery and familiar sights from your travels. I fished several bass tournaments on the section of the Mohawk/canal that you paralleled on the "Truway" in this video. You knew you had a fast boat if you were keeping up with traffic. #HammerDown #BackToWork #HeyBudddeeeeee
Thank you. I’m glad you mentioned that because I actually try to keep it somewhat balanced in a typical video. I’ll do talking videos here and there but personally I feel like I’m boring people so I try to balance.
Very interesting video. I especially loved watching the usage of the “Jake Brake”. Could you do a video about how it works, when you use it, the benefits, etc? Also would love to learn more about your rig.
Who does the maintenance work for Cedar Hill/ Idlewild? Trucks are always 1oo% and immaculate when I see them. I know you keep your truck o c d clean!! Great job Wes.
For what it’s worth you put another smile on a kids face with this video.....I’m 29.....still a kid at heart though 🤣 something about turbos whistlin and jakes that just make me feel like a fat kid at a donut convention. Anyways, serious question, think you can comment on how y’all haul that heavy? I know it varies state to state, I’m in NC. The legal wording always screws with me. Are you getting single permits? NY have like a seasonal allowance? Or just running old skool? 🤣
Randy getting payed 12 dolla... I mean cents, and other 12 for the good joke, its good payment he can buy something expensive LoL. But good to see Randy in the vid. Awesome T they made for you, you going to have a nice clothing line. I see yea down shifting and using hale and toe to accelerate and break.
New subscriber from Ilion,NY. Nice to see the behind the scenes of these trucks working. Currently in cdl school in Rome. I hope to Be out running by March!
@@freedomring4813 negative. I was actually laid off in December. Word is they’re supposed to get back up and running in March. But they laid off all upper management, So I’m doubtful
Do you haul out of Callanan Inds. I ran equipment back in 88 there and as a operating engineer you had to work in the plant too. Worked for Gorman Bros too, the one place I worked where I wish I never quit.
The “how to dump” abs the “dump trailer should be a tanker” were Callanan loads. I used to pull a liquid asphalt trailer for a different company and we’d haul liquid for Gorman out if the port of Rensselaer.
Do u have compound turbos on that truck? Man I really love the leather headliner in your truck, Thinking about doing a custom leather headliner in my 2nd gen 2500 Cummins. Nice truck! Keep on Truckin!
The truth is I honestly am so used to not using it it’s turned into a bad habit. There is some reasons though. I like to almost stand up so I can see where the nose of the truck is for example but mainly it’s just a bad habit.
Down here in Pennsylvania we can only run 80,000. Do you guys need permits to run 115,000 in New York. And what's the legal amount you're allowed to run?
Best thing in the world when driving truck is seeing that kid given the arm pump for the horn put a smile on my face everytime no matter how bad my days goin gotta show my 1 1/2 yr old how it's done lol keep the hammer down pal
I agree. I’m as excited as the kid when they do it.
Agreed never gets old
Saying hi to their kid on your channel is just as good as a kid on the side off the road doing the arm pump great videos wes be safe out there
I agree with this 100%. I’m glad you said that. It’s really the same feeling to me. Both makes them happy.
Great as always, no boots or seat belt......
I think it’s pretty cool you and randy follow each other to the same places sometimes makes the ride better 💯👌🏽
Idk why it always ends up like that. We we just talking last night about that. Somehow we end up together all the time
@@Wgrippin sounds like the beginning of a RUclips duo if you ask me 🤷🏻♂️
@@MrMattyRodriguez 🤣 he’s not really into the recording and stuff but I try to catch him off guard here and there and throw him to the wolves 🤣

Thanks for watching! Glad it brings back some memories
Just found this channel. Popped up on my home page. Local to me and seen these trucks around! Clean set up guys quite awesome. Big fan of the W900
Thanks for watching!
That second load you dumped is right across where I pick up every once in awhile in Hudson
Subbed due to your aesthetically pleasing eye brows.
🤣 first time in my life they did something good for me!

Yes 100%. Community is something that seems to be going downhill in this career lately. Hopefully we can make it a little better.
It would be too much like work if we didnt enjoy ourselves. Great job Wes, keep em coming!
Thanks! Definitely keeps the day moving. You ready for ray brook? 🤣
Randy you need to jump on in there and hijack the cam sometime

Nice bunch of guys too. I think that’s where they get their salt. I’m not sure though. Just assuming
Great video man, keep em comin!

Haha! Thanks. I’ve had a ton of requests. I might have to see if I can have some made.
@@Wgrippin awesome !
Very interesting video. I especially loved watching the usage of the “Jake Brake”. Could you do a video about how it works, when you use it, the benefits, etc? Also would love to learn more about your rig.
Sure, at some point i could throw in a part about the engine brakes.
I love that truck
Thank you. I wish it could stay clean.
Nice video brother good bleased
Thank you. And you as well
That turbo spool 🤤
🤣🤣
I must have seen your truck in our towns here in Dutchess County. Buy you a coffee anytime your in Pleasant Valley.
We’re down that way a lot. I’m sure you’ll catch me someday.
Now I see where all the salt goes that Longhorn moves. To there on shed. They go by my house here in the Cuse 2 to 4 times a day. Starting around 5am.
Yes basically stock piling and they mix some with liquid melt stuff too.
That’s one bad bitch of a kenworth👍 I really like the old school headlight buckets.
Thank you.
Great music
Thank you! It’s hard finding non copyrighted music. I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

WOW, pennies. Haven't seen those in awhile. Lol.
🤣🤣 I saved them from back in ‘74 🤣🤣
The joe Biden part was the best part 😂😂
Idk if I had a stroke or something LoL. I got home to edit and I’m like “wtf was that!?” 🤣
@@Wgrippin that honestly made my day man 😂😂
Yeah I actually had a genuine laugh at that one
Ct trucking has to make more of tbose shirts i would 100% buy one

I’m subbed to a lot of trucking vlogs n it gets repetitive but that Biden reference earned you a sub hahahaha that had me dying hahaha!!!

Probably so cheap if ya but a penny between his cheeks and he farts you'll get change

Did anyone open up the Remington plant yet?
@@freedomring4813 I’m not sure. Tbh I didn’t know it was closed LoL I’ve hauled turnings out of there before.

U should do ASMR of you driving keep doing what your doing just show us thr jake brake and u shifting
People seem to really like that now. I could do that. Thanks.

Sometimes I swear you have Tourette’s 🤣 “back to work, back to work BACK TO WORK” 🤣 ducking guy you kill me
🤣🤷♂️
Wes Grippin I’m sitting here wondering if you know who this is 🤔🤣
@@brandon8481 Brandon is all I know right now LoL. Who are ya?
Thanks Wes. Got a question...why don’t you use the seatbelt? Just curious. Another excellent video. Take care. Blessings
The truth is I honestly am so used to not using it it’s turned into a bad habit. There is some reasons though. I like to almost stand up so I can see where the nose of the truck is for example but mainly it’s just a bad habit.
Love the videos bro, the joe Biden moment 😂
Thanks for watching. Yea idk what happened there LoL. I was stumbling all over.
How do you guys deal with the liftable , non-steerable trailer axles with the NY Permit?
A lot of people just make them solid. Not liftable
That Biden moment got me😂😂😂 #smashedsubscribe
🤣 thanks for subscribing.
Beech-Nut is just down the road in Florida New York they rebuilt down there 8 years ago I believe
Ooo copy. I heard they moved. Glad they’re still going.
@@Wgrippin I just subscribed. I like your video. Cool that you promote your friends shirts and give shout outs to family. Very respected there.
@@dzlf2504 thank you for subscribing!
@@Wgrippin I've seen you running the thru way before where abouts are you from. ?
@@dzlf2504 the shop is about 5 min south of Albany.
10:04 drain the hose
Down here in Pennsylvania we can only run 80,000. Do you guys need permits to run 115,000 in New York. And what's the legal amount you're allowed to run?
Yea we have 102, 107 and 117 permits. I’m permitted for 117 but tbh sometimes I wish I was lighter. I think 117 really beats these things up.
Awesome truck! What boots you have ?
Thanks. I’m not sure the actual model but they’re ariat flat toe
"Blagj fkfi snejdj skdo dkkon, anyways we gotta get movin, I'm just saying" lol
🤣 yea idk what the hell happened there
@@Wgrippin it happens to us all. Good man for leaving it in the video 😂
Are these dump trailers still allowed up to 80k? If so whats the difference between dump trailers and a dump truck?
This setup with a quad axle trailer is legal up to 117000lbs
Hey dude one request,
Name all the songs used in vlog in description.
They should automatically be in there.
Mann that truck sound nice nice🎼what engine does it have???
Thank you. It’s a 6nz with straight 7s
Come on Joe Biden spit it out already 😂
🤣🤣
what is the weight that you're allowed to be when fully loaded?
117000 with this setup
How are you even driving just watching the videos my eyes are straining in pain for you
I hate when the roads get like that. Can’t really see much.
Yea I know that is the 1 thing I don't miss about living in NY
17:02 OMGosh...you grossed +116K!! What are your bridges rated for, an M1A1Abrams Tank? I suppose you run pizza-cutter steer tires too.
What do you guys run most cat, Cummins , or Detroit
Cat by far. Too hard for us to find people to work on Cummins. Idk why they don’t use Detroit. I think there is one Cummins at the moment
💪🤙🤙🤙👍
you ever run the salt mine in mt. morris new york?
Yea that’s a big one. We haven’t been there this year yet but we go out there quite a bit.
Who do u work for Wes I live in auburn NY ive been looking for a local driving job so I can get out of OTR
I work for idlewild trucking near Albany.
as a driver do you have to pay for being overweight (over 80,000 pounds gross)?
You need special permits, yea.
What was the button he flicked @18:40 ?
That was the switch for the engine brake.
You gotta love KWs
Everything except the dirty spot under the tiny windshield wipers 🙄. However, I like cool over functional. Gotta be a flat glass.
I could also just put some air in the seat 🤣
@@Wgrippin bein cool ain’t cheap or easy 🤣🤙🏻
Now I don’t know too much about the whole scene, but 116k without a drop axle sounds like an interesting ride😂
There’s two drop axles.
Those little county garages are in some of the worst places ever was seems like all them is 100 mile off the big road in a hole in the wall
🤣 that’s 100% accurate.
Always good videos, but on the other note anyway to get one of those shirts? I would surely order one!
Thanks. Yea they did a goof job on them. I’ll have to see if they could make me a bunch.
Well if any luck let me know!
@@Randomguy-qo5dr definitely will. Thank you
@@Wgrippin any word from your friends? Still would order, just remembered watching your latest upload 🤣
10% of nothing is nothing. Don’t spend it all in one place. Need of a newer, hipper steering wheel for your ride. Cool shirt
Wait longhorn trucking as in jw livestock
why such a long WB? is it a DOT thing?
No it’s really just for looks. It also helps it ride a little smoother
I get that I hauled out of a steel mill long WB for 60 foot rebar
C-15 acert or 6nz??
C-15
What are weight laws in NY. Seems pretty heavy for those roads
We have 102 permits on 5 axles, 107 on 6 axles and (in my case) 117 on 7
A lot if you don't get caught.
@@dzlf2504 well at the weights I mentioned we’re legal. But over those weights and ya gotta do what ya gotta do. 😉
@@Wgrippin Ya buddy👍
awesome. are those permits for salt only? I'd cream my pants if I saw 116k# on the scale here in Chicago...
I thought those were RC trucks😭
Just subbbed bro keep it in the wind cmon
Thanks! Be safe.
You an Owner Op?
