I sure do love that Pete. It’s an awesome truck. I’m semi retired now after 35 + years. I ran lowboy and heavy haul for several years. I loved it better that anything else. Seeing your rig just kind of inspired me. You take care and truck em easy. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍❤️ By the way I’m subscribing.
The Trailer is absolutely beautiful and a serious hauler . Have been driving Rigs for 37 years now. I would have ordered a Kenworth WL900 with a 605 bhp Cummins x 15 with same 2050 lbs torque I just find Kenworth more comfortable and a little more mechanically dependable. Peterbilt would be my second choice and believe it or not Western Star are very good as well. Only problem with WS is parts are more expensive and far fewer shops have trained level 5 mechanics that work on WS especially when it comes to warranty work . You really want to see heavy haulers go down to Southwest Australia. They have 1100 bhp Kenworth with Cat motors. They haul 5 53 ft mule trains absolutely crazy ! Those rigs would blow anything in North America away. They pull up to 395,000 lbs in 5 trailers total , just under 200 tones. P.S. It was very smart to order ALL DISC brakes on Rig and Trailer. Yes they cost more and get dust inside every where, but when you are hauling loads like this Discs compared to Drums stop at least 40% more efficiently !
I would agree... Having worked in the oilfields for 8 years now, I have driven, operated, and been around all the major truck and engine manufacturers and I would have to say that the KWs, particularly the C-500's and T-800's and Cats and Cummins hold up the best! The oilfields are the true proving grounds! Depending on their use they may power hydraulics and spend most of their lives tached out @1950 RPM for 2 weeks straight, and lucky if they see a oil change within the last 1500 hrs, run up and down dusty, muddy, icy, pot holed "roads" (Goat paths) plowed through fields and praries, drug up and down mud road by dozers and skidders all the while hauling 80,000-350,000# day after day , driven and or operated by people who don't care or know and start a truck or engine at 0* F and idle it up to 1600-2000 RPM or drive off before it's warm. Believe it or not many of these trucks will see the scrap yard with 25,000 hrs and 25,000 miles... KW's are tough!
is the glider format going away or is it quietly sticking around....emission systems seem to be more trouble then there worth...thought the gov't was cracking down on them.....big fan of the glider concept....
@@madjack8031 Yeah as far as i know last year was it for gliders. Fitzgerald doesnt even mention building them anymore along with Paccar saying they are not offering them. Interesting
@@scottbaker1018 ...crazy thing is the carbon foot print on these new emission trucks aren't as good as people think,,,they don't last as long.therefore they build more trucks or rebuild engines a lot earlier then non-emission truck....oh well, ...Cheers!
@@madjack8031 Yep i know. I was a tech at a pete dealership and dealt with all of it from the start. Lots the average customer will never know about issues that were just smoothed over.
You truck drivers always think you have a great deal of weight. Your overload does not equate to a emty weight rail car. Rail cars are routinely 280,000 lbs. Your toy tractors are just toys. You think they are heavy weights, you are nothing compared to ,railroad loading. check it out numbnuts.
Awesome rig buddy ... health to drive ,,, I was on long haul for 48 years Ireland to all of Europe including heavy haul ,,, I salute you and wish you well ,,, Dan from Ireland ,,,
Very impressive both, semi and trailer. You've done a great work. I'm mesmerizing the mightiness of this big rig and yet, the beauty of it. Great color. Congrats.
I wanna see the interior of the cab, looks damn roomy from the outside, the combo is really sweet, awesome trailer, I'm jealous, your a lucky man to run the roads with that rig!
You said something inspirational on this video, We got the best job on the planet let me tell you something Sir, you are absolutely 100% right. I'm the sole provider for my wife and four kids with my trucking,it makes me feel so proud that since the age of 24 I have been driving rigs I'm 46 now and still trucking.
I bet you probably are the happiest man in the world driving that absolutely wonderful outstanding beautiful piterbilt..I have to like this truck a million times 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One thing I learned along the way doing Heavy Haul. Take a dry erase marker and write your O/S permit route on the inside of the windshield near the top. Either across the top or down the side. Because there were times when I would be making so many turns and such I didn't have time to read that damn permit. Then just wipe it off after you make the change.
Rand McNally lets your put in coordinates. Usually I follow the route on my phone (google maps) press on the map exactly where the route says to turn and type the coordinates in on my rand McNally that way it’s turn by turn and also do “multiple stops” on my phone so I can see the layout of the land for turns.
@@demetriusdavis95 Well, that shows you how long it's been since I was out there. I left heavy haul trucking behind in about '05... Times they are a changin...Thanks for the info....Good luck to you my friend. Remember, rubber side down, shiny side up !Be safe out there
Beautiful truck and trailer! I admire those that take care of their equipment. Too many trucks and truckers out there with dirty parts falling off of them.
It is a wonderful and well thought out spec sir. Only thing I would have had done is hot dipped galvanize the trailer from the factory- never worry about rust.
I can tell you know your bussiness your rig is Excellent You chose the rite tractor 389 some are saying they would have went KW W 900L oh well it’s just personal taste I am a retired driver side lined on disability due to illness i drove 16 and half years I hauled freight did some flat bed and dump work my first choice would have been 389 I am a Mack fan also well good luck guys like to see a video of ya moving a load
I would love to have a truck like that and that truck and trailer combo are fantastic!! If I got those same specs the only difference is that I would might get a blue truck and trailer
Beautiful and badass! I'd love to have a set of those 46k rears💪. Neway makes awesome suspension. I'd cut my AG100 off with a hacksaw and a butter knife for that set up...lol. Congrats and stay safe ✌️
As a guy that has a landoll with central tire inflation system I’ll give you a heads up. Disconnect the hoses and put some pipe tape on the hubs then put the hoses back on. Those things start to leak and this is the way o fixed that, unless you want to buy new ones all the time. I think the rubber o-rings get wore out in the hoses.
Beautiful rig and great video. As far as truck choice. Personal preference. I like both. KW and Pete. I did OTR from 1999-2002. Now work for Caltrans as a operator
@@KeepingitAnalog In my 20's I bought a 2000 379 with an N14. Got outta trucking to wrench but years have gone by and I'm older, maybe a little wiser and I figure I might go heavy hauling again. I was blessed with the Alberta oil patch when I was younger but now everything has really dried up North of the border. Arthritis is setting in and has me wanting to do something different.
Great motion picture. One can tell you love the truck and your job. I do like hearing about the truck specs and your thoughts around why this truck and trailer. Thanks for sharing.
Very very nice truck and trailer! I find it a bit interesting why you don´t have steerable axles on most trailers like these in the US. I guess roads and intersections are big enough that the extra weight of a steerable axle isn't a good choice. Tire wear must be a bit worse with solid axles though. Maybe its a legal thing? Here in Sweden most trailers of this capacity has some sort of steering. Also the "extra" axles on the truck is steerable. Been trucking in Sweden for about 9 years but quit a few years ago to be able to be more with my son. Still miss being behind the wheel alot though.
Maybe screw a mudflap or something you can lift, to see that chart. In a few miles the mud, ice, stones will make it unreadable. Great set up you got there McFly! Biff.
Wow, I'm generally not a fan of traditional looking American trucks but I must say your rig looks awesome. Stunning colour. In Ireland Scania and Volvo running at 700hp+ would be the truck of choice for heavy haul.
Beautiful rig..i had a 1996 W900L KW triple axel 48 thousand lb Rockwell rwar ends with a 555 CAT.© RTX 13 shift air ride. With a 48' Trail King t
Triple axel trailer 5 1/2 hp honda generator for the hydraulics and detachable goose neck with air slide and air assisted neck pin locks. I hauled exclusively for Caterpillar for years then went into gov. Military freight and NASA equipment hauls. Hands down that trailer you have is the jack stuff man. I didn't have all those other additions you have. Awesome Set up. I'm retired now after spending decades hauling heavy OD/OS since 1978. Retired 2018. Good luck to ya. Thanks for posting this video.
This is the best overall heavy haul combo I've ever seen! FANTASTIC!!!
Wow, thanks!
@@KeepingitAnalog if I win the lottery......fuck a lambo....I want that setup with a 3+3+3

Beautiful tractor and lowboy. Love running 336's. Fast and pretty strong.
What a rig!!! Absolutely beautiful....I'd be happy as well behind that wheel
Right on!

Thanks for the sub!
Have you seen the channel of that Russian / Canadian KW with Fontaine trailer? He's a real tool!
Awesome setup. You did a great job narrating.
Thank you kindly!
This is my first time seeing one your videos.
Love your rig.
You have the bull by the horns great ride
Beautiful setup! You sound uncannily like Abom79. Great vid .

Nice equipment great job.
That truck is sharp! I absolutely love Peterbuilts!
I really love the setup you have I wouldn’t change a thing
I had mirrors that stuck out in front of the hood very, very useful especially in tight places, it’s helpful to be able to see where the front end is
Yes I am going to leave them on. Not sure if I will order them again but we will see what shows up in a few months.
I would tell you what to do right, but you seem to have it figured out. Nice unit!
That's one nice set up, keep up the good work.

We put bug shield on hood with a little spot mirror on each side instead of hood mirrors, beautiful truck driver!
