I've ran diesel equipment through deep water before. As long as you can keep your air intake sealed and take your fan belt off , you are fine. If you don't somehow disable your fan , it can destroy itself and the radiator as well. However it is hell on the seals and bearings.
That driver was running out of hours on his 70, 11 and 14 hour driving rule! He had to make it to a safe haven to shut down for his 10 hour break or risk getting a ticket...lol...Drive on driver, drive on!
The placard on the front reads 1993. That number represents deisle or heating oil. My take on this it the company may have made a decision to have the driver take the truck to higher ground if possible. The damage to the truck would cost less than a potential environment disaster involved a loaded tanker. That's just my take.
Me too, in Indiana. I wasn't the first, and I wasn't the last. Those components are made to withstand hours in the spray of rain. Not as heavy as water, but not as long a time either.
from a person who deals with truckers all fucking day yes , they will do some crazy times (14h days) and some crazy shit to get to where they need to be on time lol - im in chilliwack b.c canada and from the fraser valley it takes 12 hrs to get to alberta, and then another 8/9 back cause your empty
@Mr Sunshines did you not read the title? Its flooding and hes getting to higher ground. So leave the truck ? Who knows what was in that tanker. It's worth getting it out in case something worse happens. That truck is fine and he did a great job getting it out safely
@@brandonharris9237 why didn't he take the outside lane like the orange truck did? That road wasn't flooded. Taking a detour is better than accidentally dumping toxins into the water.
So i guess that you have no problem paying for the repairs if not the replacement costs of the truck, trailer, and the load itself all out of your own pocket? Not to mention loosing a customer? All because that driver was an idiot?
Guy in the boat @ 0:16....... "I cant believe what i'm seeing!" Meantime, he's cruizin' up and down the highway in a boat...lol. And dont that trucker know thats a "no wake" zone??
Clark Griswald as long as water doesn't get into the engine they should be fine... except International those trucks are junk when using the MaxxForce Engine
That was probably not the smartest thing to do, but he did it right for what it was. You do around 10 - 15 mph. Just enough to push the water away from the intake, but not so fast that you catch up with your own wake. Kudos to this trucker for keeping his cool, and navigating a very difficult situation properly.
A FRIEND OF MINE DID THAT YEARS AGO AND THE STARTER SHORTED AND TRIED TO ENGAGE. ENDED UP TEARING ALL THE TEETH OFF THE FLYWHEEL. ONLY COST $8000 TO FIX THAT.
A bad winter is harder on a rig then this was. As long as he didn't suck water in past the air filters the truck is fine. And he obviously didn't suck water in the intake lol. She just got a nice undercarriage bath 😎👍🏻
Would the driver of this truck please get on TH-cam and tell us what happened so we don’t have all these guessers trying to explain this. If you are not computer literate , could your kids or kinfolk log on and tell us ?? Btw, you are one badass dude.
I am betting that the driver was paid well for the risk if the truck is going to be damaged anyway might as well save the load and not risk having that tanker leak its load
Is all sealed, but not certain where the differential breathers are located on semis is the only risk he runs to mix water, i know my LR 4x4 are above wheel wells!!
That's one way to ruin a transmission, rearends, wheel bearings and fill all your grease fittings with water. Company drivers are cheering him on while truck owners are more like not in my truck, or you're fired.
SUPATRUKA Your screen name says it all about you. When you know what you are talking about, then you can speak with authority. Until then, shut up and learn.
Tim Green You know absolutely nothing about me. If you could dispute with any of the info you would have, but you can't so that shows you want to argue for the heck of it. Like a female dog
SUPATRUKA I've been a truck mechanic for over 20 years. The bearings are sealed. The transmission is sealed. The only issue might be water getting in to the differentials through the vents, depending on which type if vents it's equipped with. And, grease fittings have spring loaded check balls to keep contamination out, but still allow grease to enter under pressure. Now, go ahead and talk some more shit, YOU ASS HAT.
Tim Green I could care less about your claim as a "truck mechanic." I have seen water get into those parts when the trucks were exposed to less water than that. I didn't even mention the wiring harnesses and connections all over the truck. Go and cheer with the idiots that have your level of understanding because im done with you already.
SUPATRUKA The wiring harnesses and external connections are waterproof too. That prevents salt intrusion from the roads in the winter. I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I can see that you are unarmed.
I gotta say that was a risky move without snorkels or at the very least the side mounted "air cleaners" to bring the intake a little further above the water, but he is a legend for making it through.

As a truck driver myself I have to say that whoever is behind the wheel of that rig is a badass plain and simple
Badass driver.
No matter what he always delivers on time
Evidence that the engineers that designed this wall should be building levees around New Orleans.. My flooded house is about 400 yards from this spot. Thanks Louisiana DOT
For the people living there it was a terrible flood. For that truck driver, it was Tuesday.
The award goes to that driver, for showing no fear & getting the job done!
Can't stop won't stop,when delivery time matters. Keep on trucking.👍👍👍
That was awesome...as long as the air filter is not sucking in water, you should be fine......

Life, and work doesn't stop, just because the road is flooded. I've done the same thing, many times.

U hit it on the head buddy.
Now this makes sense.
Probably right
Hmm! I can't believe that these drives today would risk their lives by driving through water this high.

LMFAO I know right

That truck didn't give a crap about that water.
Driver: hey truck, we running low on time and there's a lake on the highway.
Truck: I got you, fam.
I Salute to this Driver who drove this heavy truck in the water and second salute to this powerful Truck. Rgds
Like a boss!!!!! I went through a town in Arkansas right after a storm, had to traverse several flooded intersections, just like that.
Me too, in Indiana.

Aww hell, looks like I'm driving through some high water..."

It was a truck rented by DOMINOES. They had no choice.
30 min or less or its free....
HAHAHA that's funny af cuz u already kno that their not wasting their time to deliver a pizza for free
Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin, we gonna do what they say can't be done!

👏👏👏👏👏👏😁👍
Now that is one well-built truck!

@@bryanmartinez6600 this blue one isn't using a maxxforce, usually it would say it on the side with a badge so it's probably running a Cummins ISX
The only reason that truck and its load can get thru that depth of water is because of the air intake ram at the back of the cab on the left

dennis ternent thanks for the comment
dennis ternent good information to share to others
dennis ternent if he payed 8000 dollars for a flywheel and starter replacement he's got a really low iq
dennis ternent he destroyed that truck in the aftermath electrical .
How much would it cost to fix that caps lock key?
Schneider passed him in the opposing lane LOL!!!
Damn this driver wasnt playing around, everyone was stuck on stupid. Go ahead hunny make your money lol
WOW!!🔥
The maker of that truck should upload this video on their website...Then watch how their trucks sales increase.🔥
Too bad it wasn't a Fed Ex truck. Would be a good video for their "when it must absolutely positively must get there overnight" commercial.
A bad winter is harder on a rig then this was. As long as he didn't suck water in past the air filters the truck is fine. And he obviously didn't suck water in the intake lol. She just got a nice undercarriage bath 😎👍🏻
It must have been Friday, pay day Friday. Lol
Keep on truckin' !!!
yahaw
@Mr Sunshines theres no water in the engine , granny and drives you drain , purge and refill
cleanest undercarriage lol
Got a free transmission wash too
Charles Smith cleanest and fishiest....
very good advertisement for this truck brand

@Empty Head lol
Lol truck driver said fuck that I'm going through 🤣🤣🤣
The trucker said NO WATER IS GOING TO STOP ME!
Amazing work, but why didn't he just drive on the other side of the road?
Flooding: I will stop the traffic...
Truck driver: Not today....
So that's where the water in my DEF came from 🤔
Well those diffs are full of water now.
Cajun Navy You guys are the Best !
The driver was running out of hours, blame it on the ELD.😅😅😅😅
time to go repack some wheel bearings and a new brake job
Is all sealed, but not certain where the differential breathers are located on semis is the only risk he runs to mix water, i know my LR 4x4 are above wheel wells!!
@Mr Sunshines smh
So whats up dumbass troll head
That depends if the wheel gaskets was metal or paper
Oh and new brakes are not needed the areas that may need attention are the s cam bushings
truckers rule! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
When your boss says he'll pay you more if you get to your location faster.
Geez new rear ends trans, not to mention the trailer Axel's but you do whatever it takes to get it done
Change all the fluids in rears, motor and repack all the bearings in the wheels
Truck wash? Nah bro, I’m good.
As long as the air intake is above water a diesel engine can run just fine while fully submerged
Trucker is like sit here for god knows how long and lose money or get the hell out of dodge i say plan B I'm rolling
Pushing a good wave, nice speed legend.
And the award for greatest trucker badass goes to...
The air intake on trucks are at the top mostly at the hight of the exhaust pipe,which is why the water didn't go inside the engine.
the exhaust pipe in on top the truck too !! so hes good
Lol company trucks would’ve died long before the deepest parts. The exhaust pipes are located so low near the road.
That's just crazy!! No load worth driving thru flooded roads lime that.
I think he used the wrong ramp and just had to get out
Hazardous chemicals, worth than truck repair is the environmental consequences

The driver wasn’t driving though a flooded area he was just trying out the new express truck wash
If the boat went first he could follow the wake would it have been half of the water in front of him. ?
Yeah, just keep on Trucking! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👌👍😎
He’s prob like hell yea underneath is mad clean now
How did the motor didn't die with so much water?
Yeah, I think that trucks gonna need a grease job.
I was there. Lifted a lot of people in three days. My buddy lost his boat under a i-10 over pass.
