I’ve been through Littleton many times and haven’t seen you. Was great meeting you in Brockton, much appreciate the selfie you took with me. Keep on trucking buddy, all the best - Spartacus (tribute to the late, great Jay Severin)
I’m in Tn not far from Tim Gentry we go from the frame of the trailer to the track on the machine with short chain the heavy ones 349 cat and our cranes we double chain each end and the bucket or blade
These CRAZY camera angles! I Love them but that under shot! Wow! I'm afraid your camera mount is going to let loose. Happy you liked the stickers! My pleasure! To be on the box lid trucking with the "Boston Trucker" .
Great video today Mike! New camera angles, I like it! I really enjoyed watching you make those wide turns, and putting the fear of God into hearts of those in the four wheelers! Memories, sweet justice! Lol
Hey Boston trucker how are you doing today my friend I like watching your TH-cam videos and they are very educated and I like the content in the videos
Your right Mike. The movie stunk, but I was surprised to learn that Swayze actually drove cattle trucks for his Grandfather, and drove for a food warehouse, delivering to stores at night when he was coming up. So he did , at least have some working knowledge going in. Take care. Todd the retired trucker.
Im Old dude.. Kinda. Almost 40 I just passed my Class A CDL test today lol Boston Trucker and Others Kinda inspired me, Driving a truck is not too bad Just be a good driver.
@@TheBostonTrucker They say Im a good driver. I told them... BS. But I used to drive a tow truck like a decade ago and.. I put some miles on it. It was same height and width . With a long car on the back of the extended cab flat bed one I was like only 10 feet shorter than a semi and 53 foot trailer. Gotta STAY WIDE, Watch the Tandems and "Trust your bed" When backing up.. Learned all about "Straight wheel" backing Now I can spin trailers with the push" haha I hope I can make some $ now. Another student passed I Was with who was much younger. 23? One failed. I hope Eric. His 2nd try because he could not back it into the box good but mastered it with more practice got it this time. Anyway Im bored now I wanna go drive around in a truck again and back up and spin trailers around in tight spots. Its good I got the CDL and dont have to drive stupid anymore to impress the inspector I Can go back to my style
@@GhettoWagon operating wreckers and carriers is a great way to enter into heavy hauling and trucking in general. You learn a ton about weight displacement, cornering, braking, backing etc. Good luck 👍
@@GhettoWagon I spent 24 years doing towing and recovery. 18 of that was my own company now I haul steel out of NH but we cover MA,ME, and VT too. Nothing to exciting but I’m 61 and only a few years to go.
Black dog was a great movie!! Swayze actually had his CDL. His father was a truck driver as well. However I agree on the black gloves those were ridiculous 😂
Lol I still like black dog. It’s a good movie to me because of the trucks and because of the cars other than that yes OK and yes, I watch you on a 65 inch TV.😅😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent 🤙🤙. I just found about the TV TH-cam thing last summer , it is the boom 💥 still can’t figure out how to navigate it 😂😂😂 Thanks for the Ride Tonight , wifey is out and I’m home mister Buddy 🐕,he still misses his sister 🐕🥺Thanks 🤙🤙🍻🍻
Some opened tips I got. One I pull the same played you pull. But since i ,like yourself are getting into tight areas alot. On all my trailers airbags I have shutoff valves.if I want to run on the front axle alone. Dump the air out. Shut the valves off on the center axle. Use a heavy duty 5' chain wrapped around the axle. Then re inflate the bags. The turning radius is shortened alot. If the machine is light enough, like that small Cat loader or similar. Getting around that school for instance will be much easier. And if you need that axle again. It takes a minute to remove the chain. As far as changing down, everyone has their own way. As long as its the right amount of equipment is used for as much as it weighs. Some need more,some need less. My bigger machines, I have more at the back of the machine. If you hit the brakes hard it wouldn't slide forward, especially if the deck has ice on it. And if I'm in a hurry. Ill drive smaller machines off the side like loaders and small excavators.
Thanks for the great tips, I'll have to give them a shot but the whole dumping out air and chaining axles isn't something I understand or have seen up close yet.
That Kenworth ( black colored) was the one that I hoped that you would have gotten when I heard you were getting a replacement for your older truck. That one you featured was a W990 I think.
A good week Mike. Moving different loads instead of just material breaks up your week and keeps your skills sharp. Stay warm it's supposed to be brutal next week. God bless.
Thank you that's kind of you, it was in Central Massachusetts , leaving the name off in case they are sensitive to me filming. That's why you don't see the name anywhere in the video. 😉
Now you have the classic stickup man disguise go to a Gun shop and ask to see a classic Smith & Wesson 44 magnum Revolver in black matte finish and 2 boxes of cartridges lite load less recoil better controll than a 357 magnum with wad cutters I liked Black Dog Swayze did ok because in real life he did some Ranch/Farm trucking for a relative back in his youth You should watch Joes channel only 4 trucks out of Philadelphia PA he drives Mack’s & a cool KW 900 with just two round headlights a very unique KW 900
Hey you’re getting pretty good at this TH-cam stuff 😅 although I can’t believe you went there with the fingerless gloves comment. I mean you have a fingerless glove 🧤. Also regarding Blackdog, imo it’s a decent action movie but as we know it’s not very factual. Especially when they show a driver “bouncing up and down and see-sawing on the steering wheel” 😂. Have a good week Mike 👍
One more comment with that we don’t have many truck movies anymore and that’s probably why I like it because at least we get to see something I think that’s probably the biggest thing not that I think about it
I watch you on the tv most f the time. Bad thing is I have to bring you up on my iPad to comment. Bad enough the tire blew out. It didn’t need to destroy the fender.
Hey pal I chain like that sometimes .. I can only watch videos on the tv phones way too small .ill watch/but mostly listen to podcast on phone while im working ..black dog sucks!!
Your comments on TH-cam tv. I watch pretty much everything on TH-cam now. Not TH-cam tv. Just TH-cam on my tv. With a premium membership, no commercials every 5 minutes. But trucking channels like Big Rig travels and others like yourself. Unfortunately big rig travels can not do anymore live travelling videos do to a new distractive driving laws,and his companies policies. Plus NHRA drag racing videos and channels like Vice Grip Garage for automotive how to videos. I'm also a professional candlepin bowler, so I'm watching, or trying to get on the Candlepin Bowling Network. Other than local news,A Bruins game,or the new Tim Allen show. Everything I watch is on TH-cam.
You guys are all steering wheel holders. The only respect you guys get is delivering the goods we need/want. It’s probably top 3 easiest jobs in the world like give me a break
@@TheBostonTrucker what the difference between you and Muhammad with flip flops driving a cascadia? You think you’re better than him cause you wash your truck and wear jeans with boots? Lol
Boy this guy just thinks he is the greatest thing going. My truck is shiny who cares that dosnt impress anybody. Black dog is better than Most of your boring stuff.
A couple reasons. I prefer an operator not spill any material on my truck but it does happen so I'd rather keep that mess to the side most people don't see and keep my driver's side as pristine as possible.
Coolest camera shots ever! Great job Mike. Fantastic video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Mike!
I'm a general contractor. I have so much respect for all truck drivers. Everything comes on a truck one way or another
Thanks for the respect, it’s a tough but rewarding job.
Great stuff as always keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the visit

I appreciate that, Spartacus! 🤘😎
Does Knapp Work boots & shoes still have their main production facility in Brockton Mass .
I RECALL JAY SEVERIN WASN'T HE A SERIOUS TALKSHOW HOST ?
Just found your channel! Love it! Love all the info you share & all the angles. Thank you
Glad you found it, hope you enjoy it! I've get a great video coming out tonight at 6:30.
I’m in Tn not far from Tim Gentry we go from the frame of the trailer to the track on the machine with short chain the heavy ones 349 cat and our cranes we double chain each end and the bucket or blade
I use to go from the track to the frame but my hooks aren't wide enough to attach to the frame now, on our old 35 tonner that's how I did it.
All good , we use the foundry hooks like you have on you binders but we have them on our chains I get a chance I’ll send a pic
Love the camera work! Sure isn't any extra room in Boston! Awesome driving Mike!
Appreciate you, I try to show the good and the bad, always challenging to find the room to get around!
These CRAZY camera angles! I Love them but that under shot! Wow! I'm afraid your camera mount is going to let loose.
Happy you liked the stickers! My pleasure! To be on the box lid trucking with the "Boston Trucker" .
Thank you Russell you're a class act my friend.
Look like your getting ready to pull a stick up😂😂😂😂😂
bang bang ✌️😁
Another good one !
Glad you liked it!
😂 spot on about black dog .
✌️😁
That new quarry looked pretty cool
nice to go to different places once in awhile
Like the different camera angles in today video.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the different angles.
Mike- Your roads look just like ours- white with salt. STMs JM

Appreciate the support!
Great video today Mike! New camera angles, I like it! I really enjoyed watching you make those wide turns, and putting the fear of God into hearts of those in the four wheelers! Memories, sweet justice! Lol
I try to keep everyone in the four wheelers on their toes.
What camera did you use leaving the school?

I learned something new today! Thanks Todd!

Correct on the Blackdog!
✌️😁
Teddy poop his diapers when the tire blew 😂 I can imagine him wigging out. Wishing he had his Mack attack back 😂
Lets just say he had a bad day!
Black dog was a great movie!! Swayze actually had his CDL. His father was a truck driver as well. However I agree on the black gloves those were ridiculous 😂
I'm going to have to rewatch it.
Looked like Rubber Maids,,😂
Lol I still like black dog. It’s a good movie to me because of the trucks and because of the cars other than that yes OK and yes, I watch you on a 65 inch TV.😅😂😂😂😂😂
I think I need to to back and watch it again, maybe Sunday.

I almost got it too but when I found out they still make a flatglass I was hooked.
@ ok
Yup. Ya gotta get up to get down!
✌️😁
A good week Mike. Moving different loads instead of just material breaks up your week and keeps your skills sharp. Stay warm it's supposed to be brutal next week. God bless.
You are right, it definitely keeps things interesting!
Yeah ive been watching him for years also GrTrucking!
that's the guy
Was your tarp was the top getting stuck there
It was frozen, I hadn't used it in over a week and then it snowed.
I’ve been watching for years you have a great channel, Where was the new pit you went to ?
Thank you that's kind of you, it was in Central Massachusetts , leaving the name off in case they are sensitive to me filming. That's why you don't see the name anywhere in the video. 😉
That old loader is an older cat 980 or 988.

Driver side stack looks taller than the right side
it's an illusion
Hi from🛣️Dexter🏠Missouri🛣️
👊💯✌️😁
Its actually just "net" weight, and "gross" weight where Im from. "tare" weight is the 33 ton you mentioned. Take care. Todd the retired trucker.
I know you're correct but here we say tare and gross.

good point
I use both phone and tv. Just depends what I’m doing. Most of the time I watch my phone while I’m driving and listen to your videos in the background.
That's a good way to do it!
how do you like your new truck are you still getting use to it brad
I love my new truck, I'm completely use to it.
cool
I watch you on the tv most f the time. Bad thing is I have to bring you up on my iPad to comment. Bad enough the tire blew out. It didn’t need to destroy the fender.
It killed the fender, fender wrapped itself around the tire.
I watch you on youtube tv
good to know thank you
That black Pete was sharp! You own or drive for somebody?
Thanks for the compliment, that one was definitely a head turner, it was an old Dick Simons truck when I got it.
Mike, yeah I watch you on my phone or my tablet not on the big screen
good to know thanks
Got his mask on bank robber LMFBO
stick em up
Where isTeddy's Mack? JM
It was at the dealership for codes but it'll be back this week.
Better looking on the big screen tv
I agree
Hey pal I chain like that sometimes .. I can only watch videos on the tv phones way too small .ill watch/but mostly listen to podcast on phone while im working ..black dog sucks!!
I enjoy podcasts too
As always.
You know it!

Keeps me entertained. Between you video today,and the Barrett Jackson auction,and a live bowling match earlier. I'm good.
Mike, he’s an actor he not a truck driver. What the heck what did you expect?
I stand corrected. I found out today he actually hauled cows for his Dad growing up and drove the truck in the movie.
I watch your videos on normal youtube
Alright that's cool thanks
keep those ears covered cold hurts trust me i know
I'm trying
You look like a burglar 😆 🤣 😂

Why do you prefer to load on the passenger side?
A couple reasons. I prefer an operator not spill any material on my truck but it does happen so I'd rather keep that mess to the side most people don't see and keep my driver's side as pristine as possible.
