Haven’t seen all your videos but one thing that I get out of all of them is the very positive outlook you have on things. Already makes me think different when stuff happens.
I’m a foreman for Price and am also from Grayson, Ky. We are good friends with Nathan and his family, they are really good people. Safe travels on the road brother.
jason s for sure ive got the cheapest labor rate around plus ive been watching his channel for a while and he seems like a genuinely good dude who would be the best advertising i could get
the only nice thing about a small fuel tank is you get to take breaks often to piss and stretch out, wake up a bit. keeps you from waking up in the ditch :)
Don't think I've ever told you but my dad was a pipeliner in Alaska when I was just a little boy. 6 thru 10. He worked on trans Alaska pipeline. Was a cool experience.
Worked a month or so in Louis ville..lol.and hit every one of them boats and eat a Joe's crab shack you went by...I'm from eastern ky way In the mountains...watchin you hit the road makesme miss it....we need more people like you brother...
@2:51 you passed through my hometown oh Louisville Ky. I must say you are a awesome guy and have a great wife I literally just found your channel yesterday and I’ve watched at least 14 videos lol very inspirational for a 37 year old starting a 2 second chance at life TY
Many jobs here in northeast Colorado and few big ones coming up as well. 30" steel line is rolling in on trucks and rail both. If they drill it, you shall come! Lol
Great video & glad you made it home safe... just curious, have you ever thought about getting an air deflector for the roof of the truck? we had one when we towed & it saved us a bit of fuel on trips...
i like driving at night if i'm mentally prepared for it. but, as soon as the sun comes up my eyes are done. hey, my heater works fine with all the slides in or just the bedroom slide out no need to freeze brother.
Austin hope ur next truck is at least a extended cab , ur setas go back further and or get u a 4 door for this kind of trips wer I have to stay in ur truck and take a power nap.
I’m sure you drive down I-44 from STL to Oklahoma..I Live in Cuba Missouri which is about an hour to hour and a half from SW from STL to Oklahoma..I have an aunt and uncle that lived in OK City for a long time..also done lots of fishing in tahlequah for years and years..fishing for that white bass..btw great vlog been following since almost the beginning
I can feel your pain of pulling an all nighter.. I just pulled one from Central Illinois down to Bentonville Ar. Staff safe out there, hopefully meet ya out here on the rd someday and shoot the breeze over a cup of coffee.
Two questions. It looked like that hitch sits behind the rear axel, so what does that do for handling or.bounce on the front end or just general ride? Second question is regarding the tow mirrors, was curious why they were not folded up? I pull trailers with a dodge, and I love my mirrors out, Just curious. Love the videos, so fascinating to see a side of the industry I have no experience with or in.
Sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Jason Nixon thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I’m from Kansas and a good friend of mine started rig welding down in I believe the Midland Odessa area about 3 weeks ago said they were needing welders like crazy. Started him out at $54 an hour 3 weeks on 2 weeks off I believe.
Brandon Mitchell I love it bro!! I was raised in a shop so have always been around it!! Even if you’ve never touched a welder it is great! They teach you everything you need to know👌
Hey Austin, is it usually slow this time of year for job postings? I want to get into the pipeline industry and start as a helper, but it seems there are hardly any job postings between indeed and roadtechs. Thanks to you and Kayla for your time put into these videos! God bless both of you and your families.
I been to that little bar in Gracey on several occasions, lol. Bought quite a bit beer in that drive through around back, lol!!! Is Nathan a pipeliner?
How's the truck handle with your hitch so far back? And if it's good, how far back is it? I have a repo truck that has a lift hanging out of the back and sometimes I get dispatched for 5th wheel trailers and don't want to go back and grab another truck. I also don't want to hit my life on the trailer. I enjoy your videos. Not many TH-camrs are hard working normal job people.
It handles good. The trailer being level front to back makes a huge difference. Vs what I had on here before. It was way too high in the front. Pulling it level and with the fifth wheel hitch made a world of difference.
I’ve driven this route so many times going to see my husband in Virginia when he was working up there. I live in Lebanon Mo. I just came back from seeing him Indiana. I saw that KFC place & I knew exactly where you were! So cool!
Is that truck and trailer combo really legal? Anywhere? Must be that smile of yours that keeps the Troopers of your ass! They'd have me in bracelets as I pulled away from the curb!😠
RVs really don't weigh much compared to a nice trailer and skidsteer, but the air resistance in a big rv is what does it. basically trying to cut the air with a 8 foot by 8 foot (give or take) wall. Takes alot of work to power through it.
700k on my 2010 with an average of 9.9 with either a 5th wheel or gooseneck and doubles would argue against that He’s got 1 or a combo of these 3 things Heavy feet, bad tune, or bad gearing
Hopfully you just forgot to plug the lights in on the RV. Electrical issues are hell on those POS things. Can be a $1,000 to $100,000 trailer and they are just crap!
Actually didn’t have runnin lights... 👀 🤫 don’t tell anyone. All I had was break and turn signals... cause yes the lights are crap on the trailer. Drives me crazy cause I hate not having runnin lights.
Great videos Austin! ... Random “weird” question!😂 What is the song you used at 2:50? I’m in my 4th midlife crisis and learning to play the drums. This would be a good song to use for beginner practice. Can’t find it. Maybe it’s blog music??? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and family!!!
In a normal application I'd say the hitch that far back is a recipe for disaster. But his welding machine plus the added weight of the body and tools far exceeds the tongue weight hes loosing by having the hitch so far back especially on such a short wheel base truck. Besides if the hitch was where it actually should be the camper would almost be on top of the welder. Not sure how the front end would like it either.
Debated. It seems like if I leave it then I'll head in a different direction. If I take it home I'll be right back up there. There is always a catch when you can't predict the future. lol There is never a right answer if you know what I mean.
Made it from. Atl to home I eastern ky In 5his 26mins with one 15 min fuel stop 4 of us in a minivan....I promise we never came under 75mph and most the time throttle was buried lol...drove home on the weekends after that...then done it fro Iowa in my ol 3000gt
Haven’t seen all your videos but one thing that I get out of all of them is the very positive outlook you have on things. Already makes me think different when stuff happens.
I'm glad that you made it home safe and sound and were able to spend Thanksgiving at home buddy!
I’m a foreman for Price and am also from Grayson, Ky. We are good friends with Nathan and his family, they are really good people. Safe travels on the road brother.
that ol truck needs some air bags under it
jason s since hes back in OK he should come see me to have em done
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 you would give him a good discount wouldn't you
jason s for sure ive got the cheapest labor rate around plus ive been watching his channel for a while and he seems like a genuinely good dude who would be the best advertising i could get
SO DOES THE GUY EHO DRIVES IT😂😂😂😂😂
the only nice thing about a small fuel tank is you get to take breaks often to piss and stretch out, wake up a bit. keeps you from waking up in the ditch :)
I heard that. And I like to drink coffee so I need those breaks often. Lol
I don’t know how I’m just now seeing this. Nathan is my Uncle! (Dads brother) it’s a small world out here. Stay safe Austin!
Don't think I've ever told you but my dad was a pipeliner in Alaska when I was just a little boy. 6 thru 10. He worked on trans Alaska pipeline. Was a cool experience.
Worked a month or so in Louis ville..lol.and hit every one of them boats and eat a Joe's crab shack you went by...I'm from eastern ky way In the mountains...watchin you hit the road makesme miss it....we need more people like you brother...
I hauled some of the steel to that KFC stadium when it was being constructed , all of it came from St Louis
@2:51 you passed through my hometown oh Louisville Ky. I must say you are a awesome guy and have a great wife I literally just found your channel yesterday and I’ve watched at least 14 videos lol very inspirational for a 37 year old starting a 2 second chance at life TY
That green sign in the beginning is the Humana building. My brother works there. Just letting you know.
My dad passed through Louisville every week pretty cool!! Glad you made it in keep up the good work!
Always the best time to roll out is at night 👍👍
Do you ever have trouble/ notice it being harder to control with the trailer mounted on the rear of the bed and not over the axle?
I'm hailing from Canada gotta love that final trip home really enjoy your videos
Cutting through IL you probably took I-64W which is about 1-1/2 hours north of my neck of the woods
Greetings from up here in Alberta. Love the rig, way nicer to work off of than mine. Dont see many of that style up here.
Why didn't you crank the heater on in the trailer? Seems crazy to sleep in a single cab truck when you are towing a palace.
Love the cool chill background music...Kayla must help mix it up?
Glad you made it home safe man Nothing like home and the wife on the holidays.
It's cool to see you going past louisville I work in that city almost every day thanks for all your videos!
Hey I know Nathan!! He's a boiler maker. I worked with him as a bolier maker until I got sick. He's got more hair than Paul.. LOL
You was at the pilot or Luvs Gas station in Grayson, KY
Many jobs here in northeast Colorado and few big ones coming up as well. 30" steel line is rolling in on trucks and rail both.
If they drill it, you shall come! Lol
Great video & glad you made it home safe... just curious, have you ever thought about getting an air deflector for the roof of the truck? we had one when we towed & it saved us a bit of fuel on trips...
Love your selection of music in this one this one.
Glad you like it. I probably spend too long picking it out.
good to see you going thru Louisville & southern Indiana (the sunny side of Louisville) via I64!! LOL
i like driving at night if i'm mentally prepared for it. but, as soon as the sun comes up my eyes are done. hey, my heater works fine with all the slides in or just the bedroom slide out no need to freeze brother.
If you ever want a vacation go to Branson, Missouri. Lovely place lots of fun
Pulling my 337rls Open range with 2017 f-250 7 miles to gal. 200 mi. on a tank.
Austin hope ur next truck is at least a extended cab , ur setas go back further and or get u a 4 door for this kind of trips wer I have to stay in ur truck and take a power nap.
Thats too cool. I could see my apartment in your video as you were driving through Louisville. You've got some fans in the bluegrass state!
I’m sure you drive down I-44 from STL to Oklahoma..I Live in Cuba Missouri which is about an hour to hour and a half from SW from STL to Oklahoma..I have an aunt and uncle that lived in OK City for a long time..also done lots of fishing in tahlequah for years and years..fishing for that white bass..btw great vlog been following since almost the beginning

We live in Ky. Have a Son that Lives in Norman Oklahoma. Have made that trip many times !!!!!!!!
Love your videos and love your truck. Your a happy go lucky guy. Great attitude and always happy. God bless and best of luck👍
Do you have airbags on the rear axel of the ram you should think about it just to help with the weight

I’m from Kansas and a good friend of mine started rig welding down in I believe the Midland Odessa area about 3 weeks ago said they were needing welders like crazy. Started him out at $54 an hour 3 weeks on 2 weeks off I believe.
I'm from South Texas looking for work in the Midland area do you know any of the companies names who are looking for welders
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated
Love the vids!!!! In welding school right now hoping I can get into the lifestyle!
Tyson Erickson hey man if u don’t mine me asking how u like welding school, I’m thinking about going welding school myself.
Brandon Mitchell I love it bro!! I was raised in a shop so have always been around it!! Even if you’ve never touched a welder it is great! They teach you everything you need to know👌
Tyson Erickson thanks a lot for the reply cause I’m go and check it out this week.
@@brandonmitchell884 Highly recommended it man. I'm just starting and I've never welded before but it's pretty damn fun and you can make good money.
Austin you should look into Titian tanks they make after market fuel tanks best upgrade I did to my single cab hands down
what camera was the "trip home" fast-forward on? Nice video as usual.
Just wondering if you like your new hitch on your truck?
I do. Pulls way better. Being level front to back and pulling it with fifth wheel vs gooseneck is better also.
always looking forward to your videos!
Thanks for always watching and hangin out.
How you like that Open Range camper? Bout to buy one for outage season and that's one I been looking at.
I turn on my furnace in camper maybe hour or so before I stop
You might need a drag up tank on your next truck

Thanks to you and Kayla for your time put into these videos! God bless both of you and your families.
Yes, it def slows down this time of year. We are glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching!
There’s lots of working going on up here in Wyoming if your looking to get into this pipeline industry. But there’s lots of work going on everywhere.
You need airbags on your truck for pulling the camper. Good videos
I been to that little bar in Gracey on several occasions, lol. Bought quite a bit beer in that drive through around back, lol!!!
Is Nathan a pipeliner?
Y'all need to restock those leather patch trucker caps.
Greetings from rainy Holland.
They are coming back! Waving at you from Oklahoma!
I’m surprised I don’t know this guy. I’m from Grayson, Ky
How's the truck handle with your hitch so far back?

I grew up in Fair Grove..just outside Springfield
I saw that too and recognized it from workin there....we stayed in Clarksville In and worked downtown louisville
Hey whats up, come to west texas its 150% chace that you can find work, normal pay is 42 17 and 125
Rob Stiles all around odessa, pecos, kermit, monahans
Why does the trailer have all the hinges on the door side off the camper trailer
Those are some badass field goal posts lol
so strong.
I loved the singing in the video
You pronounced it correctly. Lou-ville
You can tell when you get to them Oklahoma roads😂 little rough little rough.
if you anywhere near tulsa my company need some rig welders or a class a tig hand
You do excellent job making videos.
Did you work for jomax in Oklahoma about 5 or 4 years ago..? Woodward or Stillwater? For james..
ha ha..Grayson KY, not far from that other helper you had from Sandy Hook, KY...my stomping grounds
Hope ya get another gig up here again sometime, would love to grill some chops or steaks with you at our house if you can.
When I left a job in Missouri I hated how many toll roads OK had. felt like you'd have a pay a toll just to park in your driveway sometimes.
Yes and most can be avoided, but it's so much faster that we rarely go another way.
Cause the back way is mostly jacked up now ..hope to meet ya some day brother will run into ya one day around Oklahoma
I felt the same way when i drive throuh ok, but didnt end up oaying any tolls though, not attendants and never got a bill
Pretty awesome I’m from Grayson,ky
Lol I got that John Anderson greatest hits album stuck in the CD player in my rig truck
You said it correctly
Louisville
What part of Oklahoma you from Austin?? I’m up in Stillwater
Do you have any suspension in the back, I notice a lot of guys building bodies dont have much tire clearance in the rear.
Oh wow I’ve never gotten to one of your videos this early! Haha
Welcome!
U the man brother
Keep up the good work!!!!
Workin' on it. Thank you.
Is that truck and trailer combo really legal? Anywhere? Must be that smile of yours that keeps the Troopers of your ass! They'd have me in bracelets as I pulled away from the curb!😠
How fast are you going to only get 7mpg? Yes it is a decent 5th where, but it doesn’t seem big enough to be that much work
RVs really don't weigh much compared to a nice trailer and skidsteer, but the air resistance in a big rv is what does it. basically trying to cut the air with a 8 foot by 8 foot (give or take) wall. Takes alot of work to power through it.
7 really isn't to bad with loaded cummins and decent size RV.
700k on my 2010 with an average of 9.9 with either a 5th wheel or gooseneck and doubles would argue against that
He’s got 1 or a combo of these 3 things
Heavy feet, bad tune, or bad gearing
Collin McIntee bigger tires and that lift kit doesn't help either especially bigger tires if he still has stock gearing too.
Ya idk, I’ve ran 23 sets of 35’s over those 700k. Not sure what he’s runninh
I used to live in Louisiville. What a corrupt, crime ridden city.
@3:36 yum yum shop 😌
2,4,6,8,13... that’s how many hours it takes me to get to OKC from WV! And about that many miles
Hopfully you just forgot to plug the lights in on the RV. Electrical issues are hell on those POS things. Can be a $1,000 to $100,000 trailer and they are just crap!
Actually didn’t have runnin lights... 👀 🤫 don’t tell anyone. All I had was break and turn signals... cause yes the lights are crap on the trailer. Drives me crazy cause I hate not having runnin lights.
Hey you literally passed within 100 yards of my house in IL
Wished I would have known I would have waved on my way by. Hope you're well!
Damn 14 hours of driving
How do you like being in the union
What part of Oklahoma you from
Great videos Austin! ... Random “weird” question!😂 What is the song you used at 2:50? I’m in my 4th midlife crisis and learning to play the drums. This would be a good song to use for beginner practice. Can’t find it. Maybe it’s blog music??? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and family!!!
come down to good ol west texas
Only been that way once before. I wouldn't mind being a little closer to home, but all I hear it that it's like the wild west out there.
come on with it man way closer to home stay off of 285 if you do
It didn't seem like any of your trailer lights were on in the beginning of the video. I'm a trucker, I notice these things...lol
Don't out me Rick. Been having hell with these lights.
What model # is that trailer?
I wouldn't have the fifth wheel resting so far behind the back axle. But to each their own.
It looks like hes chopped the frame for a squaty look sovits probably only a couple inches behind the axle. Still not to good of an idea
I was about to ask that question. Should he be back that far? I think he shouldn't.
In a normal application I'd say the hitch that far back is a recipe for disaster. But his welding machine plus the added weight of the body and tools far exceeds the tongue weight hes loosing by having the hitch so far back especially on such a short wheel base truck. Besides if the hitch was where it actually should be the camper would almost be on top of the welder. Not sure how the front end would like it either.
He did it for the same reason I had to on my rig, to make sure there s room when turning and such between the camper and the welder and tools
@@lancedosser75 We are so lucky to have a towing expert like yourself amongst us.
You Should be in Nashville
I tried but did nothing but weld when I was there.
Are you 798
Why not leave the camper out east?
Debated. It seems like if I leave it then I'll head in a different direction. If I take it home I'll be right back up there. There is always a catch when you can't predict the future. lol There is never a right answer if you know what I mean.
Your famous 😁
I don't think so. Just another guy
A famous guy...lol..
I drove 20 hours straight to make it home for Thanksgiving. San Francisco to Missouri.
Glad you made it home in time. The things we do... :)
Made it from. Atl to home I eastern ky In 5his 26mins with one 15 min fuel stop 4 of us in a minivan....I promise we never came under 75mph and most the time throttle was buried lol...drove home on the weekends after that...then done it fro Iowa in my ol 3000gt
God’s Country...OKLAHOMA!!!
man i can never tell if you are always being sarcastic in these videos or if thats just how you are lol
haha which part?
West tx bro 😈
Is the KFC center Kentucky fried chicken center?
How can anyone find this interesting
I'd love to see the ticket $$$$$ the day u get pulled in for a overweight on the rear axle lol
U actually sound not to bad lol...
