Good to see you guys are busy Gerrald. We're flat out too. Since Cyprus closed, were using Downton's and Hitch'em. You need to get Brawler in with the Red Army.
would be cool to come help you guys for sure. we are stretch pretty thin as it is work wise going hard all day everyday im on, actually getting sick of it, this will be the first time ive said too much work, must be me getting old
So Gerald, the three oh shit switches there..........how does that work through the tri-drive? Never been around one so it always gassed my curiosity. Is there an interlock/power divider option like a tandem still, and then a single, double, or in this case triple locks in the axles?
It's the same as a tandem with the extra interaxle and wheel switches. They're just piggy backed. Back in the day when we used to make tri-drives that's all we did. It's the same thing now from the factory. Tri drives now have a wider axle stance. You can tell the old-school tri-drives because of the narrow track axles. Or for that matter an old picker on a new tractor, just opposite due to the newer, wider stance. Cropac was throwing old engineered pickers on newer trucks. The fenders were too narrow and they would put rubber molding on the fenders to cover the tires.
who does that, i never double clutch. thats pointless and more work. its not a honda civic, when i took my class 1 they wanted me to double clutch....... i exercised my perfect shifting in a mack drivers training truck...... he said you'll do fine. i think now everyone uses a auto trans too for the test
@@TimelapseTruckerRTOT Ya Buddy I know 10-4 it was some impressive unless you fast forwarded ? Lol ☮🍁best . Ps. my clutch is a stop start device, unless i miss a downshift ! looking good driver
Quick question about radio communications. When you say loaded lowboy and your not loaded what does that mean? Great job with the vids and the shorts, keep up the good work!
I think they say that because the area log trucks use "Empty" and "Loaded" to indicate which direction they're going, inbound or outbound. And the oil patch trucks follow that language, but are usually the opposite of log trucks, load wise.
It's logging terminology. The logging trucks would go into site from highway "empty" and leave going out towards the highway "loaded". It just references which direction one is traveling, like j86u said. When he mentions lowboy, heavy or alike, it's letting people know the size of the vehicle.
Spotting a trailer is generally relating to unhooking and leaving it somewhere. Low boy is probably what you heard, it's in reference to the height of the trailer. Flat decks are called High Boys, low boys are generally in reference to "step decks", the trailers that drop down right after the hookup area but can also be in reference to the heavy haul equipment trailers.
@@leelahd4428 Yeah, and so how that works, is going into from the highway you're "empty". Coming from site towards the highway you're "loaded". It's logging terms, cause they'd go in empty and come back out loaded. Just a way to determine which way one is going
@UnluckyVenom The loaded thing was throwing me for a loop. I kept thinking, but the trailer was unloaded or empty. However, your explanation makes total sense.
They can be interesting somedays, they don’t like to cooperate when trying to spot your truck and need to turn sharp. If you chain up a front steer tho they work great in the mud and snow. Lots of companies up here run the wide fronts on heavy spec trucks.
Most of the oilfield trucks run a 385, 425 or even a 445 tire. The higher you go the GVW(gross Vehicle Weight) increases enabling a heavier rated load. Our loads are all very heavy, especially the 40 mids and 24 lows. In the winter the road bans come off so we can pull heavier loads without jeeps or boosters. Bush moves however are Jamaican (anything goes, just don't get caught).
It’s a lay-flat hose for frac water, rather than trucking water the company will run those out to the well site temporarily just for the duration of the frac and then they just get emptied and rolled back up when the everything is done. They can run for miles and miles to reach whatever lake or river or reservoir the water is pulling from, just need pump stations every so often.

The Willow Creak road is surprisingly busy. We've been logging up there close to 53.
Alot of ice forming at the 4 bridge now
We're doing a big move from the north side of the Ghost down the Willow, 16 to 22 south to Crimson Lake next Wednesday. Heads up
Love those cool clear mornings...
At the very end, it was like you got passed by yourself. 😆
The last clip is from the POV of another driver watching Jerrold fly by :P
Damn I wish I'd have had an 18 speed over an 5x4 when I did this stuff! :) Especially in 3 feet of mud!
Hi , I have to say I'm really enjoying your posts 👌 Video editing has to be up there on your acquired skills list . Stay safe !!
AH, winter slop, how fun
holy fck ketchup sounds good today
its the crisp air👌
That willow used to be the roughest damn road west of the fifth hands down
Same with the Elk River. It's horrible now too!

Genuinely surprised we don't see more rock damage on your windshields.

What does ‘spotted load boy’ mean? If I’m hearing correctly.
Spotting a trailer is generally relating to unhooking and leaving it somewhere. Low boy is probably what you heard, it's in reference to the height of the trailer. Flat decks are called High Boys, low boys are generally in reference to "step decks", the trailers that drop down right after the hookup area but can also be in reference to the heavy haul equipment trailers.
Ok. I thought he was saying ’spotted low boy’. Not load boy. Thanks. I rewatched. I think he’s saying ‘loaded lowboy. 😵💫

Running through the Muskeag,eh
Do those big front tires handle ok in the muddy roads

what is that fast beeping sound when you push your radio?
Turning up the sound so he can hear
What is that line along they left side of road
A long ass hose, not sure what it moves.
It’s a lay-flat hose for frac water, rather than trucking water the company will run those out to the well site temporarily just for the duration of the frac and then they just get emptied and rolled back up when the everything is done.
