Salt Hauling in New York City
ฝัง

- Every year in late fall there is a truck show on a pier in Staten Island New York that last through winter. It's not actually a truck show but it certainly could be. Salt is brought in by ship and is then trucked throughout the five boroughs of New York City and many of the trucks that haul the salt are absolutely amazing. Dominic Garrambone was kind enough to let me spend the day with him as was Joe Esposito who drives a beautiful 379 for Frank Biassi of F M B Materials. I will have more info in an upcoming issue of LargeCarMag. Enjoy!

You guys need to do more videos like this. This is how it 'really' feels in a truck. I'm tired of the videos from the outside of the trucks without taking time to find out what it's like when your up at the crack of ass climbing the countries biggest suspension bridge and truckin around in one of the toughest States in the country. Driving in downtown NY, the burroughs, ain't nothin' like L.A or Chicago ~ they all have their differences, East Coast to West Coast. If you guys are going to take this direction, it would be nice to see you move across the country from the East Coast to the West Coast, videotaping the whole way. Your camera man was spot on in this video. Kudos ~
I think it’s way worse in Philly
One of if not that baddest in NYC👑👑👑👑
There shiny considering the type of work those drivers do 👍
They probably pickup the salt in port Elizabeth
Great doc of the LargeCar of NYC. Everyday is a truck show on the highway when you see them drive by. Everything is shining and they are lit like a christmas tree. Awesome vids of the salt haulers of winter.
That photo op really sits very well with the early morning, over cast clouds and Verrazano Br in the Background.
Those rides have a unique look (well balance) nice 🎥....😎✌
Another great video. They have great looking large cars.
Man, that sounds like an awesome day!
Great video, Franks trucks are awesome
Bad part about this video is that it had to end I really enjoyed it💪👍
Amazing work Steve!!!! I bet that was a day you won't soon forget! Thanks for capturing all those large rides for all of us fellow truck nuts !!!!
Great video and beautiful trucks. Keep getting after it.
That's a nice looking KW you got there driver!!👌👍❤💯
Great looking trucks🚛🚛& great video
I am going to show this to our salt truckers here in Florida ,Great trucks
Absolutely beautiful..dream trucks for me..just became an owner op recently can’t wait to build me something like these
Great footage glad you came to my city to bad my large car in progress is up for the winter 😥
Good job brother...love the large cars and that Jake brake on that KW mmmm what s beautiful rig man
No doubt two of the cleanest rigs on the island 👌🏻
Badass video bud.
Please sir may I have another? Great vid. Great perspective! Thanks for posting this!
Beautiful cars , love the video
This looks like a magazine shoot or calendar instead of a worksite great job keeping them shiny amazing large cars
That’s Kw is large car for sure , beautiful rigs man , owner operator pride , miss this so much in the industry seeing well maintained rigs rolling out
Those are some very nice looking trucks
Nice that last 389 is my boss DSM got some of the nicest trucks out there
robert peeker what’s the name of your company?? Are they hiring drivers??
love thiss!!! we do it big out here
That 12'-9" low bridge at 11:45 had me nervous for those beautiful stacks! Can't imagine how loud that train horn is in person in that concrete jungle surroundings!
Every bridge is measured at curb hight so add a foot to the hight
Very nice
Super cool
I haul salt to but In Tennessee , in the sticks with the Hicks
Yeah I used to Run out of Atlantic salt over there years ago and pull loads Back to New Jersey, With my Big Fancy W900L , Love all those nice Big Kenworths.
My respects to all the big truck driver in the East coast specially New York damn that really is a jungle am from California been in new york alot of times and that traffic stress me out
Ive hauled salt in st.louis for the past 16 years and that paid pretty good ,but one year we had a lot of ice storms here and everybody ran out of salt so we had to truck it up and went to Kansas to get salt and bring it back now that was paying fantastic money...Great cideo
only thing that sucks is seeing this beautiful machines on the messed up nyc roads.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm from nyc I use to drive for ALMAR TRUCKING that was my old route, in and out of Brooklyn and queens,,, great videos
Good lookin truck
In my opinion the KW wins the day. Noticed none of these trucks had a DEF tank so winners all around, they're big trucks......!!
James Hickey I’ll take a 359 Pete anyday over a Kenworth but that’s my opinion lol Oldschool no def tanks either....
the last truck 389 has it and all my others 9 all together range from 2016 to 2021
and also the 379 here was also belong to me i sold it to my friend the whole unit a year before this video
Great video. At 2:57, looks like you guys are delivering at a DSNY salt pile. Retired from the job in 2006.
Nice rolling road block.
When you love doing what you do🥰❤️💕
Nice rigs i haul white and brown for the d.o.t and towns of Connecticut
having fun out there huh😣🤔😎😬 keep up the good work !
Nice coal bucket set up. Don’t miss driving at all.... lol
Curto muito os caminhões americanos os melhores belas filmagens
Salt hauling in the Cincinnati area is big money for the salt companies not for the dump truck owner operators. Advantage is taken of the owner operators because of the off season dump truck work. Extremely low rates, long hours and long lines setting at the salt pile waiting to get loaded. I rat hole some money when things are good and let the salt for someone else.
As hes pulling up along side of you I thought I head the Darth Vader theme.
Prime mover is so long I would hate to do a uturn in one them
That’s a pretty Pete
Last time I ran through New York it was $110 to cross the George Washington last I checked it was $210 wonder how much it will be tomorrow 😢
So all the nice looking trucks pulling endump in NYC are Owner ops?
Billy big riggers.. Going 10 miles round trip... Wow😆
you'd get stuck getting outta S.I clown
I did the BQE 3 days a week for 25 years... I probably got more time backing up then you got going forward forward 😆
Neil LeDuc , It’s not the miles, it’s the money.
Lol I agree wit Neil. Y'all just riding around playing truckers. Then you get your truck washed and hangout at the truck stop til the sun goes down.Living the dream. We just jealous of them fancy slow trucks.
Those flat window kws are even cooler looking than peterbilts in my opinion. I think peterbilt should do a special 389 flat window model.
I used to hate pulling a 13.6 trailer next to that overhead thing at the 1:44 mark! It used to feel like i was gon hit it! In NYC u just have to know what lane to be in to avoid hitting shit overhead! Here in DC where im from we dont have as many low bridges and tunnels as NYC but we do have them tho!
Ahh the BQE I don’t miss that shit
Any more Jake brake videos planned? Edit (I didn’t realize this video was posted back in January, youtube recommending me old videos, thats why I always try to check the dates when a video was posted).
Awesome video im a NYcity trucker and to me these sand and gravel haulers have the best looking fleets in the city wish my company had nice looking trucks like this sometimes makes me want to go drive for them but im into flatbed and specialized oversize over wait you should try some truck spotting on the LIE
I've never been to NYC what's so bad about it?
@@2mkholley ikr..their trailers are short..easy to make turns..dont have to watch for overpass height..what are they 12' high mabey?..got it made there!
@@wilE6764 very valid points.
In new Zealand we carry 50 tonne bulk loads
Them some sexy trucks
I would really like to know why your prime movers have such a long wheelbase.Must be a pain in the arse trying to turn in a tight situation.
Truck Top
Here in Ontario Canada I get almost 40 KG'S with my 4 axle end dump not sure what those boys are getting where you boys are??
Man that's fuckn sweet the kw ..
What years that beast?.
Man beautiful trucks i bet they take a beating on the shit roads up there . Does all the salt hauling rust them out ???
Okay now I gotta know, how did you get back to the starting point in Staten Island at the end of the day?
I rode back with Joe in the black pete. He got another load and I headed home to beat the snow storm that never really happened
@@LargeCarMag Thanks, I figured it was something like that but I had to ask.
Holding up traffic for miles
It takes all kinds, I like it better out west, 75mph in most states and I don't like city traffic
good job boys holding up traffic for a video !!! then laughing about it !! I was enjoying the video right up till then !! you guys at largecarmag always did think you were better then everybody else !! that's why I quit buying your mag !!!
I knew when I was editing that I would get a comment like this. You have to keep in mind that gopro's have a very wide field of view so the vehicles in front of us were not as far away as they looked. Once that guy got past us we stayed right behind him until he got off. We were literally in stop and go traffic the whole time.
Those frameless trailers look scary to dump
They are, 😂. If you ain't level, you'll find out with a loud crash
Hi what’s up are you a owner op or company
I think the container hauler was pissed.
Disgruntled pier rat at 10:32.
Oh yes, the old disgruntled pier rat ~ having a standard stressful day 😲 !!! 💯
😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmao that is some funny trucker slang, but I do want to pull around a DOLE container with a 315 chassis just because
I want to get my cdl class a how much would I be earning an hour starting off ? I want to drive trucks like in this video lol
A rookie is not getting any where near this kind of equipment, so stop dreaming. Again, as a green horn rookie, you aren't a high paid driver, maybe 14 an hour.
Here's the reality kid, you are going to go to trucking school, it's going to cost around 8,000 bucks. A trucking company will offer you a job and to pay for your schooling. You'll go with the company, you will sign a slavery contract for 12-24 months, saying if you quit, your credit score will be impacted and you will be sued. You will drive like a slave for 25 cents a mile, every 1000 miles will pay you 250 dollars, as a rookie you may get 2000-2500 miles a week. You're looking at 500-650 a week before taxes. It costs around 200 dollars a week for a driver to eat and survive out on the road. After taxes, you may take home between 350-500 weekly.
Now don't think you are going to skip trucking school, no one hires without experience of school anymore. I started at 18, I am 4th generation of trucker in my family. I didn't go to truck driver school, I was taught by family, and I took a road test and got my CDL A. Bought my first truck from my uncle, a 10 yr old cabover. I own three trucks, never been a company slave, 22 yrs with my A license, 3 yrs previously with my B license.
Sorry to bum you out but this is reality of trucking. One of two things will happen for you, either the company will treat you like shit and you'll bail on trucking, many people do, this is not a job for everyone, it takes something special to be a reall good trucker. The other option is that you drive a year or two for a company, do the absolute best you can, learn how to back up very well, learn how to do everything safely and professionally, don't do stupid stuff and destroy equipment. Work to be a good driver with no accidents and then you can get a job like these guys in the video, driving that kind of equipment. It's on you bro, good luck and be safe
I saw some extra long Hoods there yeah cool but not praticle
Saw you go under a 12,9 bridge. How is that possible?
Most nyc bridges are higher than what they say ....it’s a shit show got know your way around
@@juano4592 in ny they measure from the curb not the road
How the Hell do they keep them so nice hauling salt on salt covered roads?!
uh they wash them
When I drove they couldnt pay me enough to go to NYC Boston was as bad as it got. Whats a load pay anyway and do they cover the bridge tolls?
Yep. It’s a waste of time.
By the looks of those trucks im guessing salt is not the white substance being transported in them
Great looking trucks
Nice truck, salt notoriously never paid good back in the day and you waited forever for your money.
I agree 90 day wait on ur money
They should look like that if u wash them everyday..
What do you haul when its not salt
I'm going back in the spring to film them hauling sand
I don't understand why in America they have dump trailers that stand up on the back wheels like that seems like dangerous Setup
yep guess im the dumb one !! a half mile in front !! but I guess I wasn't to see in the mirror on the truck and see three lanes of traffic behind you guys !! at the same time a truck goes by the blowing air horn !! just blame it on the wide field !! I used to run in the city and long island !! im pretty sure I know how the system works !!
Mob money 😏
Add a bigger sleeper
thats nice $ 175 ,12 for that load
Must be hard on the engine, city’s driving, I prefer long hauls
Hard on the engine? It's a diesel not a gasser.
26 haters....ha..........GJ gentlemen
What’s wrong with that big blue kenworth smoking big clouds of blue smoke
He needed to change the fuel filter which he did that day when he got home
So much traffic... You guys ain't helping that traffic by hogging lanes trying to get better footage. Still nice trucks!
Which one is about to rust in half from all the salt
none cuz they are wa$hed and waxed all the time
Дорогой Дональд Трамп. ПОДАРИ МНЕ ПОЖАЛУЙСТА ОДИН ИЗ ТАКИХ ГРУЗОВИКОВ. С УВАЖЕНИЕМ. ИЗ РОССИИ 🖐
How many loads a week you do
hire me
No money in salt. It’s just a slow bankruptcy.
Looks like he makes money to me.............lol.......
A bankruptcy? I’m sure they haul more than just salt.....
Better them than me f New York
well i wouldn't trust NZI over the christchurch earthquakes 2011
Can I get a job? I have a class A...Move back to New York State
Let's save money by using salt by the truckload to need 25 times the cost to repair every square foot of roadway the salt eats up over time. Typical politician logic. Here's a thought use sugar to melt the ice. But that slight increase in cost is just not worth the cost for the city. Ok point proven. How much is the average bridge rebuild cost? How much for a few miles of road repair? In my home state that the roads are NEVER going to be fixed. They gave out an estimate for repairing one side of a northbound 4 lane road where the speed limit is 45 mph. Just 4 FOUR MILES to repair cost almost a quarter BILLION dollars. For 4 miles. How much would it cost the city of any state to switch to sugar or something like that to melt the ice instead of using "congress" logic and say "nope were using salt its cheaper." Ok when your bridges literally fall into the river from the salt that your saving so much money on let me know how well that genius logic worked out. Winter is seasonal which I bet the politicians arent aware of. Bridges are year round. Go look at picture of what salt is really doing to EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES. Makes sense why were never going to learn. Business as usual
All to feed your super thirty ego-!!

people are honking at them because they're holding up traffic in the left and center lane so people have to pass in the right lane. i live out there and worked locally for a year. these salt/sand trucks drive like assholes.
