    A tip I learned from my old instructor, when you get out of your seat, remember to air your seat down so it's easier to get back in. Or, since you're a mechanical fellow like me, find a seat air dump pressure switch so when you leave the seat, the air dumps automatically. Glad you're one of us now Rich!

I was grandfathered in so all I had to do was take the driving test. Well the written test too. I aced it very well. I have heard of guys, they start at the front of the truck tell the hater about the different parts, and skip a head light because you have 2 and get failed.

    This was a fun series to watch. My family owned a KW dealership back in the '80s, when I was a toddler, and I remember those trucks from when they were new. One time my sister and I did a ride along with my Dad in a nearly identical cab over as what must have been part of a pre-delivery. He kept yelling at us not to jump on the bed! 😆
    I also remember my Dad grinding the snot out of that poor transmission. He worked 'em... he didn't drive 'em. 🤣

    The rules you have to know now are insane. I got my combination license back in 1983 and added all the specialty certificates along the way. In 1992 when I move here to Hawaii it cost me almost $9,000 to change over to the CDL and retest and recert for all the specialty classifications for hazmat, liquids and fuels, aerated gases, specialized hauling platforms and all the other nonsense.
    Be Proud! You definitely earned it.🤙

    I’ll pass along the best advice I received on my first day driving a truck. If you ever stop hearing that little voice reminding you that you could kill someone in that truck, get out of it immediately. The battle against complacency is constant and we all have to fight it every single day.

    • @ChevyConQueso
      @ChevyConQueso ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Solid advice. I train a lot of folks with dangerous tools of all kinds, and I let everyone know that the "expert" is usually the one who screws something up or gets hurt. The newbs are generally safer and better at it because they take their time to do it right, and haven't developed bad habits yet. Over time you can get complacent and comfortable with danger. A buddy of mine sawed off the tips of his fingers on a table saw years ago, after using them regularly for a decade. In that case it only hurt him. With 80K rolling it can easily be someone else, or a lot of someones.

  • @donalddoan3092
    @donalddoan3092 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been driving for 32 years and I've never had the chance to drive a cabover myself. My grandfather was a truck driver and when I was a kid way back in the 70's, I would go with him all the time. He did drive a couple cabovers. One was a White Freightliner and the other was a Diamond Reo. I loved that view from way up high. She's a beauty of a Kenworth Rich and hopefully I'll pass you on the highway someday.

Having the right person doing your test goes a long ways though, some of them are absolute deadpan government robots whom give you no idea how you are doing, others are the nicest people, willing to throw you a bone, ask you stuff if your weren't specific enough about something, ect.

    Seat belts ??? They show up later in the show !!! Got my Ontario AZ in 2009 when I turned 60, through Tri County in Cambridge ON. Nailed it on the first try, got one error notice "not turning my head enough when checking mirrors" (female examiner also). Did a few months on the road with McNamara Transfrt in Ayr, southern On to Winnipeg, Calgary and return runs through N.Dakota to West Virginia back to Ayr. My last run took me into Florida in the middle of summer (100% hot +100% humidity) got laid over in a Flying J for a few days waiting for a load to return home .. and that was the end of my long haul trucking career. I converted to off road haul trucks working the aggregate pits all over southern ON, airport runway expansion projects, landfill site renovations and new landfill projects and a huge landscaping project at the Toyota plant near London. Turns out that that 6 wheel articulating Volvos, Cats and Komatsus driving was more to my liking...less time away from home for weeks on end...got to meet a lot of fine folks running loaders and excavators, crushers and screen plants.

    Glad to see you got the old CDL the test makes for a nerve-wracking day. When I took my CDL test here in the states I failed the first pass at a railroad crossing not coming to a complete stop. The instructor told me to head on back. When she told me why I failed I asked when I could retake the test...she said I could retake it now if I wanted but if I failed a second time I would have to take all the written tests again before I could drive the test again. I did pass on the second try including the Passenger endorsement because I drive Limo Buses. They really take it seriously when you haul 50 passengers instead of 50,000 lbs. Good job Mr. De Boss

    I found this interesting to see. Similar to a pilot check flight for a private pilot license in aviation. Stressfull, detailed... good to verbalize everything you are doing and thinking about.

      I gave up my CDL "A" as well, I don't miss it though, I'm retired after 44 years of truck driving. Glad I got out. I retired January 31 2022.

    Congrats Rich! Nailing it on the first try ain't easy. When I got my Class A I failed the pre-trip (air brakes) 3 times. I would get one thing wrong and the next week I would get it right but get something else wrong that I had gotten correct the previous week. I just couldn't get around the nerves with the regular DOT examiner. Strangely enough, I passed everything with flying colors the 4th time when one of the DOT big bosses administered the driving test. I only lost like one point for "missing" a shift (I got it in the slot it just didn't want to catch) even though 6th gear was a little finnicky on my truck (my pfp). The neat thing was I didn't have to take a course, I just had to prove I knew what needed to be knew.
    The K-Whopper is a real looker! It's been fun watching it come together. Your channels and this rig in particular have given me some inspiration, motivation, and dedication to build a 7 ton pickup truck.
    It appears you'll make a fine trucker. Time to go Billy Big Riggin'!

    I know the feeling. When i got my cdl b license, i was nervous and i failed the first time. When i took it the second time i pass because i was more relaxed. But funny enough 6 years later i went for my cdl a and i was nervous again and making stupid mistakes. I knew i failed but i talked to the instructor at the end and told him that i went all this time with my cdl b without a ticket or accident and i don't drive like this. I told him just my nerves. He gave me a few minutes and told me that he trusted me and pass me. I was super happy. 10 years later still driving and i love it

    Beautiful truck excellent work proud of your hard work and going the extra mile to actually get the license. I’m eager to see the Duramax project again, it seems like a long time since the Duramax wrecker has been featured. Keep up the good work. God bless, Al

    Looking forward to seeing that truck out and about.

      I would have challenged it back then up t0 2015 but I was doing a ton of repair work for an excavating company. Awesome guy, but I knew if I had my license, I would just end up floating equipment for him all the time (likely weekends and after hours). I got my license on a Thursday, he called to see if I could move something for him the following Wednesday. Haven't talked to him for 5 years lol
