You were talking about those winds in the beginning, the first time I went to Salt Lake City I was hit with those warning signs they have which said 55mph plus, honestly I never thought winds would have that much of an effect on a near 80,000 pound vehicle… I learned something very new that night, HO. LEE. F🇺🇸K 😂😂😂
It can get really bad out west. My first job was pulling doubles going out west and that was really freaking bad. And then they would send two empties from Salt Lake City to Omaha. Not fun at all.
@@OTRBandit Been there brother, not fun, not fun at all, they can be a stupid handful, especially when the winds are swirling, thanks for the reply brother, stay safe out there !!
That's a tuff way to pull in a buck brother been following your channel just recently. You show the reality of pushing that rig and trying to make an honest buck. Hang in there!
Just love those kansas city caves. What a pain in the ass. Good place to tear up your equipment. Used to run in and out of them a lot. Wasn't as bad when I was running my cabovers.
To me I think you Sir the best to follow and watch , Interesting and professional and using educational talk and how to present everything and clear , God bless and be save as always 🙏🙏🙏 Greetings from Kuwait
Might have to check out Taylor and Martin auctions. If your close to one sale stop in and take a look. They have a bunch online to look at so gives you a idea of how many trucks and trailers they selling at that auction. Just use the advance search to eliminate the other trailers from your search. Good video and good luck in your search.
@@OTRBandit yes, the trade off you make for style. It looks great but causes visibility issues. You know your truck though and take your time, that's how to do it!! Be safe and keep Rolling!!
It’s not too bad. You just gotta go slow and pay attention to what you’re doing. Don’t be intimidated by places like this if you ever have to go inside. If I can do it with this truck, I’m sure you can do it as well. Good luck to you.
Yeah every time i delivered to that cave i learned to slide my tandem all the way forward and waited until i got lined up with the docks and then slid them all the back but you are correct it is tight and creepy down there compared to independence and the other's
I used to deliver at that cave facility quite a bit back in my driving days. You want to see a real bad place to go to head out to Independence, MO. a mile or so North of I70. Real tight to get around in.
Been in that cave as well as several others in Missouri and Arkansas. Like you I didn’t care much for them either. Only thing good about them was the temperature stayed the same year round.
Almost everyone now days wants you to slide your trailer tandems all the way back when loading or unloading. Trailer bounces way less that way. I like sliding my tandems back because it’s easier for me to park that way. Here is a video I made explaining more about sliding tandems. th-cam.com/video/OhguRB94UCY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-kL5jpyZM9sd4Xer
@ OTR Bandit I watched the part of the video where you showed how to slide your tandems forward or backwards and I thought your wheels would have rolled with your trailer but they don’t.
I think it was just one time deal with temperature issue. I don’t know why it happened honestly. And yeah, every time I go uphill, I turn my fan on just in case.
Honestly, honestly, I am not hundred percent sure what the big differences. I know spread axle is a lot more expensive for some reason. I just think the weight is spread around more evenly with spread axle and the truck probably rides a lot nicer.
Thank you for taking the time to reply, most guy would blow us fans off. Someday it would be so awesome to met you. I look up to you as a hard working role model. I love your normal everyday jargon, very cool. Bill
When I was young, I was fearless and had no issues going into caves. Now in my mid-life, Just watching this gives me mild claustrophobia. I don't even like going into parking garages anymore, I'll actually duck my head going under beams (yes I know that's 'silly'). Do you know that you are going into a cave when getting/accepting a job?
I get claustrophobic in these places every time I go there, my friend. Sometimes I know that I am going there before I get to load but then again sometimes I don’t. From now on, I will just cancel the load if I see that it’s going underground.
@@adamhoward2748I know, they are bunch of freaking liars. Not all of them but majority of them. I’ve worked with some really good ones but allot of them are very dishonest.
38:07 Me personally I would have came into the spot where you're at right there I would have did a turnaround right there where you're standing at and then reversed the other way It would have been faster quicker and you would have gotten in there without a problem quicker and obviously I would have slid the tandems right there as well
Can’t turn around there. But I could have came into dock area more and swung back out. And I always preach about sliding my tandems back but this time I didn’t do it for some reason. Live and learn. We learn something new here every day. Safe travels to you.
I became O/O December 2007 about a year after I started driving. I got my own authority October 2008 and I became Independent Operator. I don’t regret it at all. Only way I would ever drive a truck is for myself self like I’m doing right now or as O/O leased on to someone else’s MC with my own truck. Only thing I regret is ever becoming a trucker. But I can’t get out now, I love it to much. I will eventually make a video on how to start your own authority and drive for yourself so you don’t have to share your money with anyone else.
It did seem little low but it was still almost to the top. I did add some to top it off. And it seems like it’s doing ok. I think I was just being paranoid for some reason.
@@OTRBandit Hey I gotta know, how often do you go through coolant? Sometimes I think our trucks drink it way too fast!! Just the other day we finally started pissing coolant in one of the trucks and I had to limp it to the shop, but it was going through around a gallon a month before that happened. The others don’t seem to go through it fast but I don’t get why I feel like I’m adding so often. No signs of exhaust or oil in coolant tank and oil looks good. *edit* Peterbilts
@@UnduplicatableI hardly ever have to add any. I think this time it was low because it got -15 outside while sitting at home and some of it leaked out somewhere because of the cold weather. Rubber hoses get stiff and it leaks right there where clamps are.
As an old trucker from way back when on the east coast, that was a tight area underground. I have no idea how you made it through that crap. I use to go through stuff just like it in Long Island N.Y.

Welcome aboard! Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Really enjoyed the video ,I was in that same cave delivering in 2013 and yes it's a tight fit for a large car. But thanks for the great memories.
Anytime and I really appreciate you watching 🙏🏼

Love your videos!!! We're on a binge. Feel free to upload your longer material. I love watching the routes my wife and I used to run in the 90's.
I appreciate you guys watching. I have about 6 videos ready to go. I’ll try uploading one video every day this week.
You do a great job on your narrative. Also, you do a great job with your video😊
I really appreciate that 🙏🏼 thank you very much.
Your truck sounded so COOL when you were under-ground, I love the way you talk, you are very cool, I love it.
Appreciate it 🙏🏼
You are a professional.
I love your truck and I like when you hit the jake when your under an overpass!!!!
Appreciate it 🙏🏼 jake break is music to my ears. Especially under the overpass or in a tunnel.
Super cool video love the truck. Can't wait till our next trip. Stay safe out there.
Thank you 🙏🏼 you too

Gotta make this money to feed the family and this is the easy way to make money legally. At least for me it is.
That was great on the underground delivery liked it much buddy becareful on that ice my god bless 👍
I don’t mind underground but I never liked this one for some reason. Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼
Just love those kansas city caves. What a pain in the ass. Good place to tear up your equipment. Used to run in and out of them a lot. Wasn't as bad when I was running my cabovers.
This one here is my least favorite. I didn’t like it at all. But I just take it easy and so far I’ve never tore up anything.
Definitely enjoy your videos and content especially the tic tock shorts those crack me the F up lol 😂

Buddy, it amazes us how in the population areas the roads aren’t plowed but the open roads are cleared with the wind . We guess. Thanks for sharing.
It is very strange honestly.
Good video, i would not want to have to back in there. Great job, that looked crazy hard.
It’s especially hard to back in with this truck because I can’t see anything out of my mirrors because stacks are so big.
@@OTRBandit yes, the trade off you make for style. It looks great but causes visibility issues. You know your truck though and take your time, that's how to do it!! Be safe and keep Rolling!!

Yikes that was very weird in there. I been a truck driver for 8 years and never seen anything like that. Good video bro! 👍🏼
It’s not too bad. You just gotta go slow and pay attention to what you’re doing. Don’t be intimidated by places like this if you ever have to go inside. If I can do it with this truck, I’m sure you can do it as well. Good luck to you.

Un grand merci ! 🙏🏼

That is a great idea about sliding tandems forward and then all the way back. I’ll definitely try it next time I’m in one of these.
I used to deliver at that cave facility quite a bit back in my driving days. You want to see a real bad place to go to head out to Independence, MO. a mile or so North of I70. Real tight to get around in.
Yes sir. I think there are 4 of them in Independence just north of 70 on state route 291. Been to all of those but not with this truck.
Keep it my brother from another mother
You don’t like delivering underground?
I thought you were going to call the Volvo guy in to back it in for ya.. lol… good times my friend..
I was definitely thinking about it 😂😂
Love the videos man. Safe travels
@@CON1FERAppreciate it 🙏🏼
Great video bro!! Stay safe and God bless!!
I appreciate it. Thank you 🙏🏼
Been in that cave as well as several others in Missouri and Arkansas. Like you I didn’t care much for them either. Only thing good about them was the temperature stayed the same year round.
Yeah, I’m not a big fan of these. I get cluster phobic every time I go there.
@ OTR Bandit do you have to always slide your tandems forward or back every time? What does that do also wondering.

@@Tc0511They definitely don’t roll. You have to have brakes applied on them so that they can’t roll while sliding.
Drive safe, stay warm out there, God bless
Thanks, you too!
I would love to have that pete that is one nice look truck
I appreciate that. Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Yeah buddy get her done😊❤❤
I am a truck driver for GM for a long time I have 40 years of driving all my logs are on time all the time I go all over
Love the Jake brake
Thank you. They would sound even better if I didn’t have resonator on. But without it, it’s too loud.
Your buddy got there and his load was cancelled. Does he get compensation for a wasted trip like that?
He got $150 truck ordered not used. It’s not much but it’s at least something.
Heavy haul turn on fan manuel temp.down running big hole!!!
I think it was just one time deal with temperature issue. I don’t know why it happened honestly. And yeah, every time I go uphill, I turn my fan on just in case.
Yeah buddy your truck is in love with me a millionaire truck is handling the fair going on
you mentioned spread axle, what is the difference between spread axle and standard tandems?
Honestly, honestly, I am not hundred percent sure what the big differences. I know spread axle is a lot more expensive for some reason. I just think the weight is spread around more evenly with spread axle and the truck probably rides a lot nicer.
Clean truck
Thank you 🙏🏼
I went there with Builders Transport in 1996
I was always wondering how long these were here. Seems like a long time.
@@OTRBandit my trainer was 70 back then and remembers going there during the 50’s and 60’s when they first started
Here in Russell, nobody is in a hurry to get anything done

Nice video thank you
Thank you 🙏🏼
I dont know how you did it, I would have been lost driving around in fuckin circles. LMAO

Inside the cave or as I’m parking?
@OTRBandit inside the cave it's like every second click click click lol was just wondering
@@owneroplife7005 I’m not sure honestly. It may be my steering wheel. It clicks for some reason with every full turn.
