I have no problem with my 8 ft utility trailer, but I recently got a 26 ft rv trailer and had to get it into a tight slot between my two garages. So I tried a new angle, I used the hitch receiver on the front of my truck so I could see it going in. Certainly felt weird backing it in, but worked. Can’t imagine backing a B train. 😂🍁🤙
Hard on the gear, I remember the first time I drove a trailer truck was going for my license at 18 I think in 1886 my friend and I got a neighbor's truck and another driver to go for our license. I was more familiar with a farm tractor/trailer(short) in the woods , so when I did my driving test, I could back that 48 tri axel log trailer with ease. Passed my first try in a truck/trailer that I had never driven before. I drove 10 wheeler dump trucks off roads before that also. The instructor said you were a little rough on the gears but could drive.
Nice, I was the same backing up, the driving school had a whole day dedicated to backing up. Backed in my first time, instructed said, " you could back that trailer up my grandpa's @$$" and said, "well, let's work on your shifting."
Those entry and exit situations were always a butt pucker in my lowbeding days trying not to get belly hung...especially with rail crossings. You bent your ramp or ramps for picking up trailers that have been dropped low.
That's a piss poor crossing out at FRPD, I've gotten the PTG on a box truck hung up on that crossing, luckily I was crabbing across it, so I was able to drag it across... the one thing you learn quick is to look at the approaches... also get the number off the signs so you can call right away in case you do get hung up and can't get off. Always gotta be smarter than the truck AND the freight AND the road!!
You see those youtube videos of guys getting hung up on tracks, why the blazes you would just hammer down on a crossing you don't know is beyond me. Like you said, get all your info first, and then take your time. If something starts dragging, you can still back up. With speed, you'll be a beached whale.
Mostly agree. If you've looked at it, and very much depending on what you think is gonna drag, rub, bottom out... sometimes you want to give it some onions... if it's going to be a little gear rub (and not catching a rail!), or some flexible fairing, or even the under ride bar, pour on some coal, and Brute force it. If it's like you're fellow driver and you're going to tear the snowplow bumper off in reverse, then nope! But you gotta make informed choices. Same as standing water... 99% too slow will potentially get you in more trouble than slow and steady... or if fording, slow at high RPMs to keep the under exhaust pushing....
Nice to see a video out in my neck of the woods, I do regional work but based out of Surrey and my terminal is right where you picked up. Coming along 96th there, right before that shitty train crossing, get your steers on the white line, and run that over the tracks, smooths out the moon craters. Nice for on the suicide bridge, most guys just hit the chicken lights and go airport style right down the centre, even in little box trucks. That whole new bridge project on both sides of the slough has traffic just super messed up. Last note, designated industrial zones (which is all of that Port Kells area), even if it says TRUCK ROUTE (like 96, GEW, 200), you're allowed off the mains even for thru traffic as it is zoned industrial. Comes in handy when there's stuff plugged up on the major arterials.
@@JuanRempel that crossing has been dogs breakfast for years. They repaved a lot there recently, but that's a railroad thing, and their temporary fixes last about a week. That one needs torn out, and CONCRETE (or hard rubber) aprons and fillers installed. But that costs more then recycled asphalt
@JuanRempel the city guys use beat up day cabs to get the shortest wheel base. You do alot of driving on highways, this work could mess with your alignment and stuff. I would price myself too high for the job if it's not truck/trailer friendly. You want your junk equipment doing that, the equipment might give out driving pothole highways.
Yes, but when you sell a division and move a bunch of drivers from the flat deck division to chips, you soon find out you have to many drivers for your current customers. So, call up Trapline and see if they want to borrow some drivers. So the Sutco flat deck is being rented out to Trapline.
So, Juan was saying that another way to say it is: The Sutco flatbed driver in this video was working for Trapline during this.. Trapline needed another driver and 'rented' this one :)
Ran into my first problem not being able to pass a truck, had to let off or we would have been side by side forever. I'm not sure they are checking for speed limiters at all, there are just cops everywhere looking for trucks doing over 105.
@@JuanRempel you haven't heard them having to have the ECMs prove that they've been set to limit speed, as the act mentioned "limits", and thinking they'll need proof, must be some chatter out there, on a safety inspection it was a item that was needed on a fellows truck to pass.
I haven't heard of anyone having had CVSI plug in and see. I know in Ontario they stopped because plugging in can acadently fuck up the ECM. Ontario DOT got sued for that a few times before they stopped. So just don't drive over 105 and you can likely get away with it, but they are probably hawkeyed looking for 106.
That why it's on the Safety inspection form now, and fines le in the act of not installed, not sure how many facilities can get in deep enough, as every engine Mfg has a different program, most laptops are just to read codes, can't recalibrate stuff, Nothing out there generic yet, I've scoured the market as I want a DD setup,but not spending 6K a year for the 2 trucks I'm involved in.
Looks like that is just a suck place to deliver, gads so low the landing gear snags the rails.........interesting. Gads your friends Pete is low in the nose.

well, I’ll have to award 1 point to the tree branches for the knock down, but the win goes to the tether. ✅
K.O.
JR you are the most solid and professional driver out there and you have the attitude of a winner God bless you sir.
Appreciate the flattery, thanks
@@JuanRempel well there's professional drivers and there's cool drivers but very rarely do you get both!
I'm definitely not cool, and we all know you think you're cool 😎
Thx. For the memories Juan
55 years ago. I crossed that bridge a thousand times.
And maybe this was the last time. The new bride is almost done.
That was a great shot of backing onto the King Pin. (I am calling it)
With the camera caae being magnetic, I can just place it on the frame

Yea, I bet driving it in is different. I'm still re learning how to back up a super B, I used to be really good at it.
Good morning.
Morning
I like all ur videos
Even the boring ones
Great video thankyou
See you tomorrow Juan 👋
look'n good! thanks 4 the video. be safe!
As long as I don't break more stuff in the next few weeks
G'day Juan
Especially a set of doubles
Men, really like your work and streams😊
Thanks Christian
Do you miss trucking in the States?
I don't miss border crossings. The paper work, and the food restrictions. I do miss some of those roads. I get less variety now.
Bad day at the rocks lol

You look like you've been in a fight !
My safety glasses scar? It's mostly healed, still hurts a bit. I think the scar will fade a bit over time, but I think it's the new me.
Those entry and exit situations were always a butt pucker in my lowbeding days trying not to get belly hung...especially with rail crossings. You bent your ramp or ramps for picking up trailers that have been dropped low.
Would be scary to get hung on a railroad

Very true
If 2 things happen you're supposed to break a match.

Now that's some helpful tips, thanks.

Definitely don't want an argument with a train.
That would be one way to get famous
The steep driveway will also damage the axles, wheels, frame and airbags in the trailer and truck. All the weight will go on a single axle.
Yea, I hadn't even thought of that.

I'm confused why I'm seeing a flat-bed Sutco. I thought they sold off their flatbed fleet. Sorry if you have already explained on an earlier video.
Yes, but when you sell a division and move a bunch of drivers from the flat deck division to chips, you soon find out you have to many drivers for your current customers. So, call up Trapline and see if they want to borrow some drivers. So the Sutco flat deck is being rented out to Trapline.

How are the speed limiters treating
You -all, what/hoe are the out of province trucks getting around this.

Yea, thats a bit steep
GPS's aren't cheap?
$500 to $1000
Looks like that is just a suck place to deliver, gads so low the landing gear snags the rails.........interesting. Gads your friends Pete is low in the nose.
You seem to do a lot more work with trapline
Yea, it's an interesting location
Really? I feel I'm more rested and in a rush a lot less. I'm really enjoying it so far.
