My kinda truck! dependable, classy and clean. Not over the top custom plastic accessories.... Thx for another great vid!
You're welcome
Never get tired of hearing the turbos whistle on a cat
Chris, thanks for all you do brother. I'm 56, been driving and wrenching since '85. Local now, but always had the dream of owning and operating a large car like this one or one similar to the many you interview. These guys live a hard life and take ultimate pride in their equipment and their jobs. You help bring this to light in a big way with these videos. Keep up the good work, man. It's quite appreciated by many!
This format never gets old. Like 2 ol friends chatting. That motor sounds like something Southern Shaker, Grandma Moses, or Ritchie Acosta would roll if they were still around. R.I.P. Give me back the ol days w Galaxy Radios, Big Cats, the I-40 Gang. So many memories shit I remember one of my coolest jobs was fueling the Super Yacht Invictus
Hey pardner. Tim here in BC Canada. We got us a convoy up here. Reach to me baby. How many boys y’all got headin North to Ottawa!! Let’s go’ 🇺🇸🙏🇨🇦🌍🙏
One of my favorite series on TH-cam Chris keep at it your great at what you do
That's my buddy Britt! Great interview... Britt is an awesome guy!
without a doubt!
really good interview!
thanks Bro!
Damm that power is insane, he pulls the load with such ease wow crazy powerful.
1000 horse will do it 😎🔥
One of the best ones yet
Absolutely a pleasure to watch.. Great guy
I loved listening to the Big Rig chat, thanks for sharing.
The man said it right. Fleet drivers aren’t taught to pay attention to the truck. Only to drive drive drive, so the company can make money off of them. And also, to be a professional and take care of the truck so it’ll take care of you.
The man is also right. No one helps each other anymore. Because the company drivers are not allowed to have radios. So no communication to help others or know what’s going on.
So many good points. Love the truck, love the video.
Awesome video. Awsome driver glad to hear this really humble.
BEAUTIFUL working man's truck. Sounds awesome speeding up and slowing down. Sweet rig and great video as always Chris. Thanx you
great video as always
Another great video. I enjoy hearing about truckers helping each other out.
Great show always enjoy
I wish I would’ve lived during those old school times , old school drivers tell me about it all the time , I try to chop it up with them every once in a while in the hopes to learn something new everyday
Man, what a sweet looking Rig👍🏾 sings a great tune.
Great video! Britt is one cool driver! Ran into him a couple times and that truck is always spotless! But if you can ever just hear this truck lope you’ll know it means business!
That Rig is cool and anther awesome video Chris
Hey Chris I really appreciate what you do keep it up brother God bless
Hi!! I'm a mexican truck driver,saludos!! 🤟
One slick ride! And I think I’ve run with that truck before. And the new age “drivers” don’t compare to how the old school drivers are.. I like this guy seams like a great person! And the truck sounds great and looks great! And he plays it’s smart in the winter! And a turned up rig is the only way to go.. if u know how to drive it! And u most of the time get better fuel mileage… also u ain’t having to run the crap out of it to make it pull. And he’s exactly right about how things should be! And I also learned by getting a permit and running with my dad and uncle.. but trucking is n a lot of peoples blood.. some it’s not and they can’t handle it..
Wow thats a beast!
Hello amigo!!! She’s one of a kind
Really like this guy and his rig hopefully I will see him one day soon we run the same area
Sweet ride
I was just telling my brother the same thing!!!!mentors. We need mentors Old school truckers. I’ve been doing this for three years now and I would love to be mentored by one. Come own lol
Wow, didn't expect that family story.
Great video
At ups all in house training once you finish training your on own on but we have a list of mentors that work all different hours you can call for ?’s…. Not to mention you usually share a truck with a senior driver. I worked nights and the day driver was a 45years of service with 30 years sage driving. He taught me a lot.
SWEET ride..
Nice 👌 looking truck.
nice ride and Nice Convoy In Canada ..... Biggest EVER.. and media coverage is non-existing, almost.
Another gread video 🙏
Nice to a Kentucky native on here 🙌🏽
Same here man im form west ky
Nice rig
Cool truck
Great rolling conversation Chris. Every so often when I was still on the road I would get into a good conversation with a driver going the same direction and the same speed and talk for hours. Most were late night and helped make the night go by a little more pleasantly.
10-4🔥
Always ease into big power.
At 15:53 thats exactly what happened to my dad worked for a company went to a shipper went back to that place with a different company and one of the guys remembered him and the got to talking for awhile.
I'm soon to be 28 got my permit I've been wanting my father too tech me couldn't find anyone to hire us. Just recently had a stroke and can't drive right now I hope somday he can that was is place. Now I have ro take over wish me luck
Not to many drivers rocking the rain caps these days. That's ol Skoolin' it right there!
That's a sweet Peterbilt Driver!!
Nice 👍
splendor Czech republik jirka :)
👍👍👍
hello. turn your rain caps around the right way, less turbo restriction, better flow, more boost!!
Yes sir so different I started driving truck in 1981
You gotta come down to san Antonio....Circle Bar A. Building a 2022 Pete 309" with 1400 HP 6NZ. Work truck. All our trucks have big power
This guy is a freakin legend 🇺🇸
Only thing you need now is, wheelbase 👍🏻👍🏻
That is nice setup. My 3408, I would be very cautious as you know why $$$
Going west in the winter is no joke, but I prefer it to the northeast;)
1000 hp till it blows up again and again and again
Been there done that waste of $$$$
Love that,put God 1st and the rest will follow ❤
Another beautiful example of the real American icon truck, Peterbilt 379.
YEAH 👍 SOUNDS LIKE 👍 ANOTHER 1# Great INTERVIEW THATBIG RADIO 📻 👍 SOUNDS great CAT DIESEL POWER SOUNDS great REAL TALK 👌 10-4.
Love it when other drivers chimes into the conversation.
He are correct about dealing with brokers I haul to Walmart a lot and I never have no problems they remember I treat them with respect and they get me out of there fast
😎👌
She definitely has some serious torque twist💯💪🏾
Awesome job driver. Dirty side down
It's a u joint breaker and a driveline twister. Be easy with the throttle on ice.
That’s some serious hp out of a c 15, retired mechanic.
can you do one with bryan lee
I disagree with his comments about drivers with mega carriers being rude because of crap pay. You can’t put a price tag on respect.
Serious question here.
Are there any good communities that a new driver could join to find people of this caliber? I want to find a good mentor, but I've only had brief passing interactions with a couple guys like this before. I could count the amount of great conversations I've had on one hand to be honest.
I want to be a true professional someday, I want to upgrade and improve my skillset, and of course (like so many other young guns) I want to drive a classic Pete.
I remember all the stories from my Uncle's and Grandpas from those years, (a few of my relatives and family friends were truckers) and how inspiring, entertaining, and funny they were. Unfortunately all of my relatives who were part of the community are long gone.
I don't just want to end up a mediocre forgettable failure who's burned out and fed up.
Sorry for the bit of a rant there. Just feeling like time is running and I gotta catch it.
Wonder what the fuel mileage is?
It’s better to have it and not need it
Than to need it and not have it
Today’s drivers have no idea what a brakesaver or a retarder are
Nor do they know what a 6 & 4 are
I guess I’m showing my age because I come from paper logbooks,,99 cents a gallon fuel,
And hooking up with a couple of gentleman going through the desert and strolling along with both sticks up against the dash listening to a 1693 ta turbo whistling
I wonder what the torque is with 1k horsepower
I must admit that I do like when other driver chime in especially when they are clean.
Wow my truck almost looks like that but its a 2009--‐-388 that I have
Beautiful rig, I’m 22 and looking to get into the industry sadly the real gear jammers are no longer burning rubber or about to hang it up any old school truckers can give me some advice on how to be successful in the trucking industry
I’ve grown up in the industry and watched my dad truck my whole life and was finally able to get in my own truck at 22. Find a solid platform for a first truck and most importantly find a smaller company where you will be treated as a human who makes mistakes. Your going to bend a bumper or tear something up until you learn the hard way and having an understanding dispatcher is so important. Another thing is traffic is steadily getting worse and people more impatient so be ready to be treated like an object instead of a crucial part of America. There is definitely still old school drivers on the road but the rules and regulations are slowly pushing them out unfortunately. Take pride in what you do and keep your head on a swivel for other people and you’ll be just fine!!
Take your time, Get Out and Look, use your mirrors and get home in one piece.
Бьюдифол👍👍🤟✌
When an where is the next semi truck show..
Why is there a echo when Britt is talking?
Good to see you out and about again Chris
I started messing around with higher horsepower rigs when I was introduced to marine components.
Ya learn quick how not to do things
Spreading yokes , twisting shafts, braking axles. It ain't the way to ride.
I'll keep mine down around 750hp for a slight amount of reliability and internal cleanliness.
I used to be a rod stretchin' dumbass
Now 67 mph max
It's nice gettin double digit mileage
You can get in the left lane and get on down the street
Yea man I wish I could know the engine specs instead of having to be secretive
My name is Britt , rare name
Beck bud I live right up from Falmouth kentucky I live in butler kentucky
3 mpg
Some of them big company truckers are just sad how shity there skills are. I'm from Saskatchewan Canada I was coming back from getting seed from a place north east of Moose jaw heading back north west to Plenty SK and I was driving a 389 Pete with B trains hauling seed and I had one of these big company drivers driving a smaller unit it was a single axle trailer single axle truck. Anyway I'm on this really narrow beat up highway 90km/h speed limit so I was doing 95km/h well this guy passes me so I let off started slowing down let him go by just as he passes we get to the crest of a hill so he's ahead of me I loose sight of him but tossed the Jake's on. Well at the bottom of the hill there's a turn off well fuck me he was stopped at the bottom of the hill almost missed his turn and caused small traffic jam well I'm just seeing this when I got to the top of this hill so I'm jakin on the brakes down shifting but my total weight was pushing 150 000lbs there were few mini vans in the on coming lane a pickup at the intersection he seen what was happening so he got out of the way lucky this dipshit of a truck got out of my way at the last second cause in my mind I was not going to take them mini vans out I figured if this is going to happen I'm taking this dipshit with me. Luckily he got out just in time I thought for sure I was going to plow into him. Fuck I will say if I ever ran into him at a stop he would of gotten a ear full he nearly caused a massive accident cause he wasn't paying attention to his turns but I would of bin at fault legally speaking witch is the kicker even though he would of bin the cause.
When the whole top of the trailer is black you know he means business 😂
Lol yes!
@@BigRigVideos keep up the good work man. Love the videos and interviews lotta nice trucks out here and some very cool drivers with good stories behind it
why do 90+% want that echo turned on??
wtf….he could pull a low loader with Cat D11 dozer with the blade up the steepest hill in America and be in the left hand lane all the way up and be overtaking Corvettes…
I'm a truck driver ...
Cat power eating Cummins and shitting Detroit’s since 1925
Great story.
Old school drivers are getting tired of the BS from these so called NO IT ALL DRIVERS
👍👍👍
