I've seen a few ELD (Electronic Logging Device) questions here so I'll pin the answer. The ELD Mandate is for trucks with a VIN of 2001 and newer regardless of the engine's date of manufacture. Trucks with year 2000 VIN must check the engine's date if manufacture. If the engine was built in 1999 and put in a 2000 truck it it exempt. This is because typically engine's are built before being put in the truck, sometimes a year before. Trucks with a VIN 1999 or older are exempt.
The reason for this is ELDs like what was in my 2001 Freightliner Classic XL look for information from the engine's ECM. Excelleration, braking, even seat belt use. Trucks prior to 1999 have ECMs that are incompatible for this or as in my case (1984 Peterbilt) no ECM at all. 3406B Caterpillar is a mechanical engine.
Also, glider kits in newer trucks, (Beano's Alien Green 389 Peterbilt as seen in a previous video). That truck was a glider. New truck with an older engine from another older truck. In his example it was a 2017 Peterbilt with a 1993 Detroit 60 Series. This truck had no ELD or DPF (diesel particulate filter).
Hours of Service still applies to me, so I run paper logs and that is legal as my truck is a 1984.
Thank you feeling better now since I have an older truck that going to be working
Is it difficult to insure a 1984 truck? Meaning do insurance companies give you the go around or is it as basic a insuring a newer truck?
@@masonishmael1996 we just added it. Was not a problem at all.
We recently bought two 2017 Peterbilt 389s, removed the engines, emissions and bought new harness that plugs into the oem firewall plug, connecting to the ecm on the 5ek Cats. We have two gliders also, same deal, new truck, old engines.
Thanks and I’m on the roads now I’m sitting at pilot in Texas and going to Longview Texas
Can we just appreciate how beautiful this truck sounds?
Kinda hard to when this ridiculous music is blasting most of the time.
Man! i love your american cabovers they remind me so much of our first scania v8 here in sweden, 1969 scania 140 v8
OH WOW! The old days of the cab over with the huge tough guy with his crow bar behind the wheel. This is about the coolest thing ever. My step father swore by them in the 60-70's. Because thete was no air ride back then he said the only draw back was the rough ride back then on back roads, old school highways, rail roads tracks and sometimes even dirt roads was a bitch which back then was a great deal of long haul trucking unlike today.
Like the Eddie Kendricks song- "keep on trucking!"
I used to see alot of cabovers around 2007-2011
its rare to see one
say no more
I do plan to get one,
plus they are cheap
Cabovers are what I started in,back in 1987. That's damned near all you would ever see on the super slab, Cabover Petes, KWs ,Freightliner, Internationals, old Whites, and the occasional Marmons and Volvos.
LMFAO! Nowadays, you can only find Cabovers on TH-cam!
They didn't have the comfort or that nearly Cadillac ride,but it was no problem getting around any city, or getting them in or out of anyplace.
Sneider and J.B Hunt used to be exclusively cabovers back in the day from what I can remember.
All those newer trucks at lake city truck stop look so bland. Trucks back in the 70's and early 80's had cool grafics.
Cabovers and chrome are a match made in heaven!
Cool graphics and tons of character
Someone hasn't seen Scania R730.
Australia and New Zealand are still in love with cabovers from the American manufacturers we all love such as Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack, Peterbilt. Still awesome.
Don’t worry I never get tired of watching your Cabover vids. Keep ‘em coming!
We may need to start a go fund me to get Orwell’s drive wheels polished up. 😂
Really? You worry too much about vanity. At least his truck is clean and in proper order. It’s not a disgusting grease pit like a lot of hillbilly trucks out there.
@@shakedydogshake Its a joke relax
When I saw NY to Chicago with FSC first thing this morning, I knew my day was going to start out right. I used to turn that trip sometimes twice a week. Made a lot of money especially in the winter because no one wanted to deal with PA l-80 in the snow. I had a 76 White RC II at the time. That, of course, was before all this computer junk. Owned my own trucks and had my own customers and the truckin' life was good. Then deregulation came in. I lived in NJ at the time and slowly got out of the trucking business and gave it up completely in 86. I'm retired now and live in GA and life, once again, is good but I love watching your posts. Brings back some really good memories. Thanks and keep 'em comin'. Oh, and I still think you shouldn't do any fancy stuff with that 362. Keep it like it is, a good, honest, hard working truck.
Tom H : Deregulation put a lot of us out. I was a single truck owner-operator and I was forced to sell my Brockway cabover when my profitable mainline runs became some big company's new back haul; they were willing to haul it as long as it covered their fuel cost. There was no way I could compete against that. I went to driving for a guy who had a secure long term contract to haul dairy products from western NY to NYC. Not the greatest run but it paid the bills
@@SuperHigear They really put the nation on the path to destruction back then didn't they.
Nice sweet sounding caterpillar engine very distinct and mellow sounding turbo I could listen forever.
Nice pete brother, i always wanted a cabover and i just bought one earlier today. Can't wait to hit the road in it.
That engine sounds amazing!!!
watching your videos sitting in the cold kitchen. you are an unrealistic brutal man!
from Russia with respect.
I came here for the cab over ! Don’t stop working it! Everybody has hood trucks!
I just love the purr of that kitty! We have a 3406b, a 3406c and a c15..... Just love the purr..... Nothing sounds like a cat!
Cats purr, but you guys seem to be oblivious to the name Caterpillar. A caterpillar doesn't purr, it's inches along quietly. It's possibly one of the most screwed up company names in history. My excavator says CATERPILLAR across the weight, the boom says Cat, lol. How can it be both, I need answers
@Tyler Buckley Got any vids of your cabover?
This video is therapeutic. I don't know what it is about american long haul trucks it's so amazing
I went on a 3 week trip as a youngster in the trucking world...time of my life....except for the bob tailing...I was never so scared the truck was gonna flip forwards over every bump..Cabovers are still coolest trucks
Hendrickson suspension is the leading cause of Hemorrhoids.
It wasn't so bad to bobtail a cabover if it had air- ride suspension, especially if it was a Ford 9000 cabover. Those things had 8 bag air- ride, and would scare you to death going through a turn or curve, for the first time.
I love the sound of the engine.
Glad I found you brother! I have loved Cabovers since I was a kid in the 70's...BJ and the Bear days, lol. My uncle drove produce from Florida in a cab over with the same paint scheme as BJ's truck in the show. So as a 7 yr old, I'd dream of driving for a living...but I'm a 50 yr old Machinist with my own shop and I am driving a Stinkin Lincoln Town Car to MN from Rochester, NY and my truck driving career was just a childhood thing obviously. Anyway, I was looking for good vids of the drive to see if there were any cool info on what to see as I head to Minnesota. I'm going to meet up with my newly found biological Sister and family to do some ice fishing. Great vid. BTW, Attica Arcade RR was a staple as a child growing up out that way. Great steam engine action and nice little towns around it. Safe travels brother, and I'll be watching now. Thanks. Paul from WNY
Keep up the great camera angles top work as usual keep on caboving 👍
Caboving. Good word. I like that one.
Love the sound of those old Peterbilt cab overs👌👌👌
I'm a shunt driver right now but my dream is to own a cabover and go long haul. Your videos are a real Jewel because it shows love for the road.
This truck is soooo nice👍👍👍👍👍 the sound is a chefs kiss. I’m definitely subbing
Great video love your rig! There used to one just like it sitting for years in Raleigh NC it had a 12.7 Detroit with a road ranger 9 speed. Love cab overs I miss seeing them all the time it’s nice to see some are still hauling!
As a child of the 80s who was ALWAYS obsessed with trucks, cabovers to me are what I expect to see when I think 18 wheelers. I remember when J.B Hunt and Sneider were exclusively cabovers. I was a jitt back then, but that's when trucking was trucking.
I don’t live in the US but recognise that Bronx accent instantly.
Right there that is a proper truck no computer on wheels just the driver and the truck old school all the way nice to see a truck like this still working hard
But it can't brake automatically when kid suddenly runs across road
My grandmammy drove long haul trucks. Little ol' 5'2 lady with a bird in the cab. Had 3 log books. Official, Police book and the real one. Back them days it was a whole norther ballgame. I like this channel. I'm going to get my CDL and start out small, then move up. I'd like to make my bones in driving and then have fun after a while in an old Mack B Model pulling small jobs here and there, a cabover KW, I like them more than Pete's and do it the old fashion way. After I make my bones.
everything is old school here , driver truck and log books
Yep and way more reliable than whats out there now. Pencil, paper, mechanical injection, no computer nannies. I'm in on that for sure
@@richardlazarski4553 the information from computers can be saved even after the trucks burned,cant say same about papers.
@@robertedwardlee8227 That and EFI has come a very long way. Way more reliable these days.
@@RodknockRhett yeah. Different stuff.
I wish cabovers were more popular. The shorter wheel base and better visibility when getting into those tight spaces is so under appreciated. Plus i am bias to the bulldog look haha
The only bad part is getting into a wreck.... Not much between you and whatever you hit. But damn, we die like men. Love the bulldog look.
I had the overwhelming experience of a cabover pete logging truck, fully loaded, follow me uphill on an expressway. I could almost not believe that it was keeping pace behind me and the sound of its engine with hardly any strain. Wow!
G'day mate great video and cool camera angles yeah you should get a 359 peterbilt you do a really good job I love to be over there have great day all the best keep on trucking
Man that engine is pure music.
The music is fine, but the motor is mo better.
Love watching this channel with the old cabover. Keep it brother. Stuffs great. I took a trip and we left on the bikes in the morning it was unseasonably cold. 19 degrees. Last time ever !
Been down almost a month and a half waiting on my engine swap... I needed this ride along! Appreciate it..
Thank you for your time and effort in producing these videos I truly appreciate them I dig your cab over Pete too bad I live in Ca I don’t see old trucks like that no more hopefully in another year my wife and I will retire and move to Utah then maybe I’ll see trucks like that on the road just brings back memories
1984 vintage and still Haulin Ass, Great video and superb camera angles.
Awesome 362 I love see old trucks on the road! ✌️
You driving the same roads I learned how to drive on. Beautiful truck
Just listening to that classic truck makes me want to drive again. Except, I wouldn't want to drive in this era, I do miss looking at all the different railroads when I traveled all over and seeing the different road names.
Nice truck, good driving. I think I like this. Only a playlist is missing.
Quite entertaining see truck driving from a US point of view. The differences are quite noticeable compared to what we do in Europe.
I spent 2 years in Germany with the U.S. Army, and I remember seeing the European trucks on the Autobahn.
It really is quite different than in the USA , with regular box trucks pulling a trailer of equal or even greater size than the truck.
An American or Canadian style tractor trailer rig, would probably never be able to get around in some older parts of European cities.
Love that old school trucking
Nice Peterbuilt 362 cabover! Looks like it’s in good condition. I like it
Mechanical trucks is the only way to go brother. A whole lot less that can go wrong for sure
And the mpg is damn near a lot of the new electronic stuff.
@@dominick253 the old mechanical trucks were so much simpler to a driver lost his key to a DM 800 Mack and opened the hood crossed it over and hauled coal all day with no key because it didn’t have all that electronic BS on the engine. If it had been a computer truck he’d been down all he done was went and bought an ignition I’m thinking for like a riding mower and put it in it and as far as I know it’s still like that today
Spent many nights eating Popeye's in my truck driving days, never drove a COE, glad I found your channel!
COE’s are so cool. Loved riding in them as a kid. Only bad part is no room for fridge or microwave. Except maybe microwave on passenger seat. Plug in cooler on the passenger floor.
I’m a veteran, lover of old trucks and mechanical motors, avid Harley rider, and was born and raised in Cape Coral, was funny you me mentioned it. Would love to drive a cabover but the VA had deemed my unemployable.
Cabovers are gorgeous
No need for a new truck, I’m here for your personality and a classic cab over:)
If he switches to a curbsniffer I'm unsubscribing
More of these onboard videos sir , great sound , great footage great truck
Orwell sounding good🤘 more cab-view videos! Music should always be Orwells exhaust!😎
Had a guy look inside my cabover you could tell he was a rookie just looking at the truck you would think he saw a 🛸 he asked me the same thing where’s your elog I said I don’t need it he looked even more puzzled at this point I showed him a loose leaf log he said I thought that was just for when your elog is malfunctioning lol jeez these new guys never stood a chance!!
Welcome to Chicago! Used to keep a 28' Scarab w/ twin 454s on the Chain of Lakes. It was a bit of overkill, but tons of fun. Sure a lot of skateboards in your videos...
G'day mate the camera over your shoulder feels like I'm the one sitting in the sleeper looking out the windscreen and you're telling me what going on keep up the good work love the videos you would be the best with the camera angles have great day all the best keep on trucking
First time I tried that angle. It worked so much better than the GoPro hat.
Nice video ... Love the sound of that CAT ... Get a nice COE Kenworth K100 and I would consider driving that up and down the byways ... Right now I do a Kenworth T800 Daycab hauling flatbed lumber.
Keep watching the channel for when I'm ready to do that.
VERY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK BRO...
I just seen you in Ohio the other day on 10/11/2020 I think it was you you have one nice truck sir keep the shiny side up and god bless 👍
Great Video, those where the days at White Castle on South Chicago and Stony Island. Safe Travels ✌🏽
That’s huge dip near Torrance on I-80 is brutal
Really like this channel “ just found it “ it’s like being at work ‘
Love your roads in the states they seem to go on for ever ‘ unlike here in the uk 🇬🇧
Thanks 🙏
John
Never let the government tell ya what ya can and can’t do sir! Love the ol school rig!
Yesssss let’s get the wheels polished and more chrome to really set off the Cab overs classic good looks 👍great content!! I’m still getting my cab over fix with Bruce Wilson MIA much appreciate ya
Hopefully he will be out and getting the content going again as well.
I used to pull into the truck stop on Friday evening after loading in Georgia an spend the weekend until Sunday night an leave about 11pm to unload in Niagara Falls. Couldn't unload until 12 midnight. I was pulling a bulk tank at the time. The restaurant had a beef pot roast with taters, gravy an green beans with some type of dinner roll that I would eat a whole basket full. After unloading in Niagara Falls I would go back east to 81 north up to Watertown then off on 11 over through Governuer over to Balmatt to load clay or either go on over to 87 north up to Willsboro an load an go back an forth from there to Niagara Falls all week and on Friday load to go south somewhere stopping in Virginia at my home for the weekend and head south Sunday evening. I used to stop at Wilton trk stp off 87 north quite a bit. Got snowed in at Wilton a couple times. They had the best coconut cream pie ever. I would eat a piece in the restaurant an take a piece back to the trk an eat as not to look like a pig. I pulled everything an drove every type truck made for 50yrs an im retired now. I pulled your trailer along with every type of flat bed heavy an wide. Happy motoring buddy. I watch your videos often. I don't watch very many other drivers because most of them have filthy mouths an act like a Jake brake is only thing on a truck.
American cabovers are the greatest trucks ever. I wish they continued producing them
I tune in everyday to hear the gear changes, NICE!!! If no new video I'll rerun old ones to get my daily fix of COE gear shifting audio, SWEET!!! 😀😃😄😁🙂😊😇☺😚😛🤑😮😯😎😸👍👍👍👍🦮🐈🐇🦆🦜🍞🥨🥝🍉🍍🧇🧀🥪🍕🍟🍗🥩🍔🥐🍞🍟🍜🍦🍧🍪🥧🧁🍰
Being a guy from the deep South and a accent that sounds like banjos quiet possibly could break out at any given moment. So with that being said I can comfortably comment that this fellas accent sounds like he's about to make me a offer I can't refuse
Engine sound wonderful
It was 27 degrees in winter of 08....rode the old 73 flh from South of Daytona to work up just west of Jacksonville. Cold Cold Cold
Yes! Thank God for paper logs. No elogs. No big brother. No tracker. Bring back old school trucks and good ol paper logs. P.S. gear sticks!
Leave it to California to make it so trucks like these won't be able to be used in a few years... Last I heard diesel engine will be completely banned from there state only allowing electronic motors to be operated...
Paper logs suck. To many you super truckers out there floating 2 or 3 logs. Running past your hos. Unsafe as hell
@@devildawgmike until your stuck in the middle of a road and have to have your truck towed so you don't get fined
Good job have a great time
Damn that intro song is bumpin'! C:
Man I've driven out of the south side for 11 years local. People get wild I'm chicago for sure. You can do 90 and still get passed. I need to start running a dash cam again and get some of the insane things I've seen.
Spent some time with TransAm in the 2010's. Absolutely HATED electronic logging - that and those crappy, inflexible HOS laws which essentially screw you out of making anything like decent money. Another reason I quit trucking is because hardly any truck stops have decent places to eat anymore. All you get is Subway and fast food crap. And, after a long day of driving, I sure as hell didn't want to cook!!! Did I mention expensive showers??? Anyhow, love your videos and admire you and your fellow drivers who've stuck it out, especially during this last years chaos. Cheers, BWB
Steve the mountains of info will go along way with your nephew. He will never forget trucking with uncle Steve. Take care and be safe.
Great video man!! I definitely have a soft spot for those old cabovers , in my opinion that’s what a real truck is made of.
Speaking of motorcycles and covid, I was in Daytona Florida for bike week when COVID rolled through and the county shut the event down. A bizarre experience for sure.
I have been watching your channel and some others as well and I am now reliving my childhood dream of being a trucker via TH-cam. Wife and I were down in Daytona Beach this march when someone pulled out in front of us. Long story short we spent 2 weeks in the hospital, she broke 3 ribs and I shattered my ankle. Totally destroyed my 89 Tour Glide. I’ve had a lot of time on my hands while recovering at home and have been exploring different CDL schools and starter companies. One I keep coming back to is TMC, seems like they may be a good stepping block. What are your thoughts? Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work
Mike
Looks kinda dull compared to european trucks. And outdated too with those completely exposed tanks and lacking in other QoL features.
Edi from Holland, the Netherlands, :-)
Love the sound of your truck, the turbo and all. I have noticed that you use your clutch when pulling from 0 till next gear, but after this, you don't use the clutch. I am not used to American trucks, so I am a little surprised to see this.
Do you shift with rpm, or do you have a semi automatic clutch?
Its called floating gears you can use the clutch but if you get the rpm right you can slide in and out of gear with out the use of a clutch. Its a skill to be able to do it properly with out grinding
@@mattmatson4382 wow, nice, 👍🏻 love it. A skill I don't have 🤭
@@EdiBikeLife pretty easy to develop, your clutch leg will not last forever. Going up is easy, getting out of gear requires just a little little bit of fuel, going to a lower gear requires some skill and experience.
it's funny I never learned how to double clutch. the guy who taught me went straight to floating. tricky at first but after a few hours slid into gear for me like a knife in soft butter. I drive an automatic now but I miss ahifting
@@bp218 I drove an autoshift for a week and liked it. Couldn't figure out the backing until I turned off the hill stop feature. Had to drive a Cummings for a week too. It was like starting over as I am set to a Detroit 10 speed, and they have totally different shift points. Keep it safe out there.
My wife and I have been to the RR museum in Arcade, Neat place.
Man I love that truck.
Beautiful truck my Friend!!!
Steve, you talking about the black out in Buffalo 🦬, I got stuck at General Mills when that happened 😢
I used to drive a 21' UD (United Diesel) cabover straightjob in Chicago and it was smooth as silk and easy to maneuver in the city for deliveries. I wonder why they went out of style?
I heard somewhere it was a change in trailer length restrictions but I wouldn't take my word for it.
Love the log book. Pissed me off when we went from log book to tachograph charts way back when in the UK...then digi cards and digital tachograph No pulling the fuse or pulling the wool over the eyes of dull coppers or VOSA(DOT),they have you by the orchestras.(orchestra stalls=balls in cockney rhyming slang.
Just found the chanel looking good and looks like I've got some watch to catch up
2:57 I live like 20 minutes from there in Lancaster ny some great driving roads back there oh and the arcade and Attica runs steam every summer but the locos been down for firebox issues for a year or 2 now great place highly recommend you stop by
How comfortable is it running a COE over the road? What I mean is do you have someway to keep cold items or a microwave? Just curious because back when my dad and older brothers ran COE’s and flat top conventionals they relied on truck stops for food and drinks. I am couple decades younger then older brothers. I was an oops baby. Parents were in their 40’s when I was born. Dad almost 50. I run OTR in a Mack Anthem. I have a roomy sleeper with fridge, microwave, inverter, TV etc. All nice but not real trucking like they did. What I mean is I remember riding in the K100 and my brother’s W900A model. Both flat tops not aerodynes. Loved the sound of those old 3406 Cats. We had a 359 which I remember seemed small. Just loved the old trucks but am spoiled by new stuff. I started in a 91 FLD 120 then moved to a Century class.
Cabovers need to make a comeback here in the US. Either European companies like MAN, Scania, Iveco etc start making cabover tucks for the US market or we start making our own. Hopefully a bit of both.
I took a trip down south to mexico and cabover are making a good comback there i saw brands like scania ,man , tatra , volvo , and a couple of mercedes i wondar if they'll try to enter the us market
I thought their would be a lot of slack in steering, it looks pretty tight!
Really nice cabover! I like the CL 9000 Ford cabover!!
Awesome! Wonderful truck!
Awesome video, ELD’s are a pain in ass!
It's hard to get loads Midwest with a old truck. I have a 89 cabover and can only get a little agriculture. Tried Amazon and Walmart and Target with own 2020 trailer; waiting to hear back from Food Lion
I live near pembroke i know this was a few years ago but you made the right choice not going to jims in buffalo
that truck is sick just how i like im simple and mean looking
I use to pulled mod homes through there guys on the cb get all pissed off when take both lanes up Joy's of oversized load life lmao
Great vid. again, well done - appreciate the ride along COE style. Sure wonder what all the convie truckers think seeing Orwell in the mix...be great to add another COE like a KWhopper or Freightshaker. Looks like you have a sweet air ride seat, does it make the COE rough ride issue tolerable?
Thank you💪🏽
I love the look of both your cabovers. I also like of the Ford CL9000, ever drove one of those?
$2.07 per gallon, regular gas
Those were the days!!
