When you’re hauling a load to a unknown destination and you get off the beaten path, man it’s such a relief to see industrial areas with other trucks. You may not know exactly where you are but if other trucks got in and out of there, so can I.
yep. was saying that to a friend the other day. I pull a van, so usually not too bad, but some of these factories in downtown areas with old neighborhoods around them get sketchy. I usually try to call the shipper or receiver and get turn by turn directions in and out, but these days, good luck getting someone to answer the phone.
@@georgiapatriot4575 I think some older parts of downtown areas were made for horse and buggy or something and never widened for box vans or service vehicles
I understand what you're saying, but is that really true most of the time? That is, there are lots of trucks which could have easily made it over this particular level crossing, yet that didn't help this guy.
@@kyle381000 I was responding to Georgia patriot about driving around downtown. If you deliver in metro downtown areas you would know.
yeah, I know the feeling
Driving in Germany meself
Thank you for this video. I drove for 42 years and have been retired for 8. You are much appreciated by reminding me why I retired. I was under everything but a tube and a parking lot. My lowboy days were full of cases like this. Bless you brother and you be safe..
PostScript: what a great truck you have. My last truck was an 87 359. I still have her.
1,600,000 without leaving me on the side of the road. I still have her and not a month goes by without some kid wanting to buy my Molly Brown.
What garbage they make nowadays
It really is. I purchased a Nissan Altima limited nice leather all the gadgets i don't use. The crash avoid sensors were going off before I had 6k on it. I took it many times but still goes crazy scare the crap out of you😊 in 3 yrs warranty they never fixed it. I know a young guy with a 2024 Peterbilt he has more sensors going crazy warning lights blinking. It's a shame. Bunch of overpriced junk. Salesman from Nissan called me wanting me to trade my pickup.. starting price $46,000🙄
Boy that video brought back some not so nice memories. Back when I drove there was no such thing as GPS or even cell phones. You made your call from a spider infested phone booth, or you had your CB set. Relying on instructions from some one on the CB set sometimes just got ya worse off. I use to hate not knowing where I was going. I would get so up set. To this day I still hate not knowing where I am going. For me it’s the worst feeling ever. Getting lost in a car is no big deal but when your driving 70 ft you can get yourself in a pile of poop if your not watching. Great video showing part of trucking most don’t show. When almost every new pick up is the first time you being there getting lost is done so easily. It’s pretty hard to get lost on a dedicated run. Anywho FSC another great video showing a side of trucking most don’t post. You have yourself a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.
Steve I appreciate you and all the other truck drivers that keep this country going each and every day when I watch ur videos it makes me feel like I'm in the passenger side seat with u riding in Orwell thank u very much for ur videos
Anybody who can back up a truck and drive it on narrow roads is a champ. Hats off to you. PB
I can't believe someone signed off on that rail road crossing. It looks like it's supposed to be a motocross jump crossed with a speed bump.
It kinda looks like a temporary repair to me. AKA work in progress.
@@richardreid6377 said for just about all roads everywhere. Lol
I went across a pretty steep one, totally unmarked, rubbed my icc bumper! Right in town too
I've seen one worse. look up Henry county railroad in Kentucky. Crossed it, wish I never did.
New fan new subscriber from Gentry channel.
I’m also a driver and owner.
I admire the way you handled yourself and I appreciate you uploading a video of our struggles as opposed to guys that don’t upload the rough days.
Keep it up I’ll see you out there one day.
-STEP BY STEP LOGISTICS
Thank you. Not every day is easy. Some can be challenging. But I do hope to show that tough situations can be handled without panic. As in the way I was to that car, I could have been worse. Imagine a new driver, freaked out on that cars behavior tried the crossing, got stuck and caused another toxic train wreck. People do panic over others reactions.
I hope I show the way to settle down and think through.
Great driving Steve at the RR crossing, can you imagine the guys who would have tried.👍🇺🇸
Don't know how I found this channel but you deff know how to load difficult cargo & professionally Drive 18 wheels.....Hats off to a Real professional Trucker with top wits & the Right attitude !! ..... Thx for the vid.....
Hey Steve, that was some impressive backing up skills, keeping that trailer and rig in your lane on such a narrow road, my hat off to you.
I never sit on the railroad tracks though a traffic stop I several occasions I've had people get mad and blow the horn and go around me . When I took my CDL test you would get negative points for changing gears crossing tracks or making turns I haven't driven a truck in over 20 years but the habit I learned I've never strayed away from
what an adventure. i remember one time i made a wrong turn. ended up at a dead end. i had to back up for 2 miles before i could turn around. those were the days.
Sometimes you've got to be careful with the directions the GPS app gives you. Just yesterday, a Ford Fiesta nearly went swimming over a railroad bridge in my country's capital - all because the app of that car's driver gave him the wrong direction!
That's sucks!!!!!!!
@@kristoffermangila my experience happened before GPS. i was given poor directions.
I would have went out the way I came in,and found somewhere to turn around.
I've been through this scenario before, only with a dry van, and wound up on a road with a bridge I couldn't fit under. I had to back up nearly 4 miles to get to where I started, but half way back, a farmer let me turn around on his property, and he gave me good directions to the road on the other side of that low bridge.
It was on Friday, and only about 100 miles from home.
I wish I got to see more cab-overs in person, I don't see them on the road in Michigan anymore. nice looking truck sir, and it sounds great too.
Australian Truckie here, subbed. I can tell you my experience with trains. We were (about a dozen of us) were contracted to can't grain to Port.
Now they had 1 train a day doing the same. So I actually got out & spoke with the train driver.
This is because we Truck Drivers knew there was a serious problem with a set of signals. Which meant they did not work at all. So no warming of any trains coming.
I wanted to know of the Train Drivers actually knew this & it had been seriously documented? It had been.
So the Train Driver actually told me, all Drivers that work the line, know that set are not working. Not only, they step up out of the seat & prepare to stop the train for us.
The reason why the line or signals couldn't be fixed was that they would have to close the highway to do it, as the actual line was cracked. That was causing the signal failure.
Orwell sounds nice.good to hear a cat engine from the 80’s working it brings back good childhood memories of riding with my pops.he drove the exact truck except his was single bunk sleeper and a single stack exhaust slightly centered pulling tankers for chemical Lehman out of New Jersey was a damn good peterbilt I miss those days…I’m 50 now
I've been to that Pilot only once. It's like they went to a lot of trouble to hide it. I've had days like you are having in this video. Hopefully is happens only once a year. You handled it quite well. Safe trucking.
It would really be nice had they put that high center warning sign a little further back to keep you from turning down there in the first place! Good thing you had (mostly) cooperative 4-wheelers!
NOW THIS IS REAL TRUCKING.... ALL THE THINGS YOU LEARN AN YET STAYING PROFESSIONAL
As a former train conductor if you get stuck call the number on the aluminum crossing bungalow instead of 911. The dispatcher will have trains slowing down prepared to stop short of that crossing in about 2 minutes. It’s the luck of the draw still, because you could get stuck right when the crossing activates and a freight train is headed straight at you at 50-60 mph. Gotta evacuate the cab ASAP.
That is a high speed main line. Odds are I wouldn't have enough time to get a call out. But yes, I do know where to find the number to call IF. I just preferred to avoid it all and go around.
What do you think about shorting the tracks with jumper cables ?? Supposed to turn the signals red.
This is a great video showing the reality of doing this sort of work. When I was new to the industry I was under the naive assumption the roads would be designed for trucks if the city/county planners knew trucks would be a possibility. Boy was I wrong, I dont drive semis anymore because I decided to get my passenger endorsement and get experience on a straight truck after what I saw training at Schneider national. Even in a straight truck ive managed to high center the rear axel ubolts on a curb once when I intentionally tried to gently roll the curb to make a tight turn. Maybe one day Ill get back into a big rig to make the big bucks $. That red ford @ 16:20 did that just to be a d**k he knew exactly what was going on and tried to make you out as the a hole anyways. Mad respect for what you do and even more for your patience, I see you always double checking in the cab views and you clearly are a pro!
Just put that hammer down, and 6ive it H3ll I drove for 3 yrs & had to hang it up becuz of a spinal injury, couldnt climb into the cab anymore.
@@9Y000008 My company paid for that governor and brother believe me, it works almost as hard as the engine does when im in the seat 🤣. I hope you can heal up and get back into the cab again some day!
Luvin the Cab over PETE..Awesome Truck!
Tie down chains do not need a quarter ton of tension in them.
TL:DR
ur likely gonna lose the load in a crash
Details:
The Angel Nut on a certain helicopter is the sole chunk of metal responsible for holding the main rotor hub on the machine.
The entire weight of the helicopter and cargo is literally hanging on this nut.
If the nut is cranked down, it preloads the tension in the rotor shaft, and reduces the load capacity.
That it why it is tightened "hand tight" and then another plate is placed on top of it to simply cover it, and the bolts holding the cover plate are safety wired to prevent anything turning without someone wanting it to.
So, when you crank down with everything you've got on those chains, you're tensioning them, and reducing their load capacity such that they will easier snap in the events of aggressive accelerations (the physics definition of acceleration, not just mashing on the go pedal).
Makes sense to me. 👍
The difference is you stopped and had a think about it.
The joys of trucking thru the woods !!!
Awesome driving steve ever time.I find Myself in that situation.The anxiety kicks in you handled it like a pro
There's a railfan video of a pickup pulling a low trailer across a railroad crossing and getting stuck high center. Luckily the railfan was there and he called it in to the railroad. A little later you see a train coming and slowing to a stop because they got the notification from the dispatcher. It could have been a very bad day for someone.
Got to love the 4 wheelers. Truck on brother.
Can't tell you how many I've had to deal with like that. What really makes me laugh, is when the pass on a traffic circle in the blind spot. Then get all mad when they get the at fault ticket. I've been there done that twice
I set up a shunt truck in 1998 at a truck shop I was working in Edmonton. Put a hydraulic fifth wheel on it. I was low man on the totem pole so I got all the brake jobs. Was fast turn around every time I finished a job. I would evac/cage brakes so that I could back in under trailer ,raise 5th wheel , and pull into shop without getting out of cab.The new hires could never figure out how I was faster than them. Oh to be young again...
Hydro fifth wheel would work for those crossings. Have to have a reliable locking system, though.
We all have those days when we end up in a place that seems like, no matter which way you go there's a restriction. Nice recovery though. I know you had to think about hitting the tracks with the hammer down.
You brought back memories of my flatbed days. Trying to get out of Dodge and no signage to show me the way, How many times did I have to go through that agony. Nice job of securing your load, by the way, although I might have added an extra set of chains. It's been almost two decades since I last drove truck and I can't say I miss it.
Ay Steve, Ol Orwell sounds good with the B model kitty talkin through the pipes brotha👂🏾👂🏾💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾🚛💨💨💨
Hl Steve another great video, Orwell sounds awesome have a safe trip👍👍
glad you mentioned the overhang. I had no idea the rule there, and now I'm happy I do
The maximum legal length for a trailer is 53 feet. (You may have noticed that on van trailers driving down the road). If Steve's trailer is 50 feet, then he has 3 feet of leeway for the overhanging of the load. If it's longer than 53 feet or wider than the road, or the total weight is over 80,000 lbs (tractor, trailer and load) then he would have go through the whole rigamarole for Oversize Permits
Many years ago I meet a driver who was delivering 30 foot dump trailers. He was using a pair of 27ft flatbed trailers to get two at a time. California CH-P looked it up and had to admit he found a loophole to drive a truck through. He was making all his money on the westbound and grabbed what he would not loose money on eastbound.
Flatbeds!!
I remember when that Pilot at Petersburg(?) opened all those years ago. It looks a lot less crowded than I remember it.
Thanks for the memories. An on the beach retired OTR driver .
I was waiting for you to bend a Stack On those back Roads.
What's up Steve Orville she's looking good with the new pipes old school cabover my dad used to drive back in the 70s brings back some cool memories keeping it real Steve 💪
It's an Oskosh b' gosh!
Hey, welcome to Chester, VA! Don't ya just love out tiny, winding roads and well marked routes? Where's the WaWa? The WaWa you were headed towards was across the railroad tracks, on the other side of 301 and it is for cars and light trucks, not for the big rigs.
Fuel in Richmond, Chester, Hopewell, Colonial Heights, and Petersburg is really expensive thanks to being designated an EPA high pollution zone.
Sorry you had a bit of a miserable time in my neck of the woods.
👍thanks for your hard work and sharing your day 👍I have been in a similar situation with road construction and backed down the lane of traffic in reverse in the lane that goes with traffic to reduce idiots in behind the trailer.
awhile back a fresh certified rebuild cat d11 got hit by a train because the ignorant hauler didn't notify the railroad before crossing.
And they wonder why insurance costs keep climbing.
Hey Steve I just went back to a video you did 11 months ago and compared the sound of the stacks before and after. The new stacks have a deep throated sound and yes I love how Orwell sounds even more. now as time and finances allow for some new fuel tanks or see if they can be polished or re-cromed what ever would be the best and or cheaper option because money does not grow on trees
Yeah I saw that flick back in the 80s 🤣
I like your old school Pete cabover. Those are super rare nowadays.
Bad rail crossings are exactly why we need to transition from mechanical RGN's to only hydraulics. Not only is it easier on equipment and the operator but it allows you to easier raise the trailer high up for bad spots.
Usually, freight trains rip tractor trailers to pieces but what does happen sometimes is the debris will roll the rail over in front of the train causing a derailment. Thats what happened recently with that bridge girder a few months ago. The beam fell on the tracks in front of the train and rolled one rail over.
In trucking school right now and that was a good straight back.
Pretty easy, especially in a low boy (it doesn't take much, it's usually always the landing gear/support legs getting hung up on raised tracks, especially ones that are raised with sharp drops at both ends.
Beyond possibly wrecking your truck, the cost to remove it from getting hung up on RR tracks, is the possible death and injuries to nearby residents, in other vehicles, persons on the train, causing a derailment shutting down the tracks or causing a dangerous spill (think of East Palestine, OH). Less than a mile from me (Garfield, NJ) a lowboy truck and trailer got hung up on a humped up RR crossing. A commuter train hit it making a mess. Fortunately no one got killed, few were on the train (it was at an off-peak time) but it shut down that line for the commuter trains and freight trains for a day.
There are always guys like the one in that red Explorer who make life miserable.
They don't care about anyone else, never mind a big truck on a narrow road.
A little common courtesy, and some situational awareness, go a long way.
If you see a big truck, cut the driver some slack, and be polite. His day is hard
enough.
Hi Steve! i love the trucks and your videos!! Greetings from Argentina!
Back in the day when I was Driving we had the Rand McNally road Map book 24x24. You could see all the roads in the area. If you had one of those You'd not look like such a Fool backing up for a 1 mile or so.
But Great truck One of my favorite big-rigs.
The joy's of trucking, I hate when you are in the middle of backing out of a shitty situation and some dumb ass drives right up to you like they can't see what's going on .
You got to do what you got to do in that situation. I’m with you
Nice reversing! So smooth no panic
You are smart that you didn't go across the tracks on that grade crossing. Looks like the railroad redid the track grade with new ballest and the new pavement on the crossing.
Hi Steve,been there did that know what you’re going Thur the dead end the railroad track’s backing up. Yes it’s a headache great video Steve see ya on the next one keep on trucking see ya bye.
Thaz what I hate about some railroad crossings where the street goes up & goes back down which causes lowboy trailers like yours to get hung up & stuck on the tracks. You did the right thing by not taking a chance & try to cross it.
I hate it when crap like that happens. At least you had the common sense to back it up and find another way.
very skillful driving job well done it would have been a little harder doing that in a conventional
Hi ya Steve, that oshkosh is a huge truck, but what surprised me was the fuel tank on it was tiny, I take it that it never went very far. That's nuts.
try that in nyc. where a 13'8 bridge has been pavd to 12'3-- where veteran dives are made in weeks not years
Isn't it funny how a quiet country road gets busy as soon as you need to maneuver a heavy vehicle! I have reversed on the wrong side of the road so that the on coming traffic is in front where it can be seen! Trucking is definitely not all beer and skittles 😂
I do like how easy you make reversing look!
If you get bellied out, knock off the leveling valve links on the tractor & the trailer & shove them all the way up. If you are on a live railroad track, don't fuck with unbolting them, get your tire knocker or whatever is handy & rip the link off the axle end. When you're ready to travel again just tie it off to hold a level until you can get it fixed.
Loved watching you get lost for a bit. Love the view from the Oshkosh. Just missing the closed captioning.
Stay safe.
Nice route planning, Kojack. Mebee next time.🤣
Hey! Glad to see your content, it honestly has become some of my favorite stuff to watch, keep it up!
It's like deja Vu , all over again! Hahaha. I leaned back so you could see your mirror! Onward !
Your truck sounds sooo much better with the twin stacks. Keep up the content and maybe I'll see you on the road in West Virginia!
Steve, good thing you didn't go over those rail road tracks. Great videos.
This is what experience means. Nice work!
When cars did that to me I just pulled the parking brake and there we sat. Some barely capable of driving a car tried being baby boss telling me what to do, It was fun handing them a broken key fob like it was real leading to a blank stare "uh..". What, you can't do it? Then leave it to someone who can while you move along to where you belong which isn't here. I'm getting paid so we can sit here all day. Questions?
Never heard a word after that. Never saw them again. Everyone around seemingly got the message loud and clear just by looking at us thinking "I'm also not taking that offer! C yah!" 🤣
i feel if you reading the road correct, you can clearly see if you might ground out and at that point you reverse / turnaround if in any doubt do not risk it. knowing your rig and reading the road well and you not have an issue. its the ones not paying attention then it too late when they get caught up
Hi.My name is john I watch your channel alot cause in early 80s mid 80s i drove that truck and the earlier boxier one but ours with the 3 wipers where white color with plain jane light brown vinyl interior no carpet ones cummins 10 speed trucks,boss ordered 15 of them to replace the old fordsnubnosed and the transtars ones and the 3 old pete cabovers which had almost 3 mill on them rebuilt a ton of times
Excellent work with the revering at the Rail Road crossing your truck sounds & looks awesome
That Wawa does not have truck access. Good thing you doubled back.
Very glad to see Orwell back in action.
Love the Cabover.
Oh, Hero. Your a damn tourist now. .....just ridin' around. Sight seein'. Its alright. l've never seen you get in a situation you could'nt get out off. Thats why l call you my Hero😄
Nice driving and backing up on those narrow roads. I could see a lot of drivers being in a big jam there.
Driving around the midwest it doesnt matter which road you take it will wind back and forth over the same tracks.
yknow, rail frieght operators, they're called "level crossings". meant to be at grade. if you wanna challenge that, it's on you to build a tunnel or a bridge. make them level.
Be glad you didn't go to that wawa it's tight getting around it and they do not have truck fuel island just car island. I ran truck around the Central va area for years pulling heavy equipment on steps and rgn s . Stay safe out there
gotta commend you on keeping a level head thru all of that mess swifty swift would have freaked out taking out at least 3 of those 4 wheelers out b4 getting stuck on the tracks anyway
This is the worst part about trucking. Small towns and areas want the freight moved but they don't want to accommodate the trucks.
Love the cabover!
Nice coat hanger antenna on the Oshkosh
Story of my oilfield trucking life. Drive around in places trucks were never ment to be looking for 1ft x 1ft sign for the rig location. Good times.

Looking straight into that Oshkosh Steve, it's a very homely truck to say the least.
We have the same thing and we use it for hauling big logs coming out of tight spaces where we can't get out log truck's in. Ours is a Mack and it haul's ass dam good. It pulls a trailer also to set more logs on it. And the driver connect's the trailer when he's finished stocking up on log's. That's why we don't use lowboy's anymore due to railroad crossing,'s like that. Years ago a guy was driving and he got hung up (dragging the trailer) and he was begging for help. I quickly jumped in the wrecker and hightailed it over there and quickly connected to the front of the dump truck and while I was getting in the wrecker here comes the train. I told the guy to bleeping floor the $#@_ out of his dumptruck and he was. I floored it and we was crawling and got it off the tracks within like 30 seconds before the train came through. The dispatcher of the train company was trying to get a hold of the train conductor and guess what they was doing??? They was bleeping 😴😴😴😴 they was quickly fired. I was like hell yeah (lawsuit) we reached out to the guy who got hung up on the tracks and he was like hell yeah. He was very thankful for getting him out. Allot of people was posting videos of the incident and they was like go TJ go TJ go and was cheering when we cleared the tracks. The police officers was like wait a minute where's the bleeping railroad crossing signs at. Apparently druggies removed them for scrap metal to sell. The guy stated that he will never go this way again. He said that he was coming up and seen the tracks and he was like where is the railroad crossing signs at. And it was to late he got hung up. Driver's and Hot Shot Load drivers was like wow watching video's of it. The person who I am co-owner with was like shocked seeing it (video) the police department and sheriff's department was watching for the druggies and they caught them removing the signs and they was hit with so much charges they will never see the greener side of the prison again. They admitted stealing the signs earlier that day. Lucky the red SUV moved outta ur way and didn't ne a Karen or a @#$_head (that's what my wife Jessie told me to say)
I as a fellow driver, and equipment operator, have never figured out why it is so damn hard for engineers to design flat crossings. ok so just had 200 yds of fill and flatten it. Also if you had a detach trailer, you could, just raise you neck and airbags which is what I would do.
Back up hammer down and do the lowboy slide. That’s where a non ground bearing lowboy comes in handy. Lift it and most of the time you have enough clearance
Isn't it fun in an area you haven't been before, low bridges and weight limited roads etc. Then when reversing from no access locations light vehicle drivers drive up to the back door and blow their horn. 4 way flashers and in my case reversing lights are on but it's not obvious to them the truck is reversing. Go figure! Travel safe Steve.
Nice video truck sounds amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking at this and considering some of the other situations involving big trucks and railroads crossing, like the one with the wind turbine or whatever it was, really have me questioning the railroads
It’s almost never the railroads fault…
WaWa has good samiches
15:20.
NEVER DRAG A LOWBED TRAILER OVER RAILS IT WILL DESTROY THE TRACKS AND YOUR TRUCK
Them kinda rail road track should be clearly marked before you get to crossing area, you would think that that app you were using would have said something on it.
That’s a beating, but you did the right thing.
Steve, if you'd gone further down past the &Elven. The Wawa would've been in front of you at the Traffic Light. Rt #1/Rt #301.
That happens all the time especially down there in Georgia.
That's where a lot of them tend to get hung up on with low parking lots and flatbeds and step decks doesn't take much.
The ones you really see those Steve where they screw up big-time r1 it literally says no trucks on this Crossing at all and it's clearly marked with a slash through it.
And then you see some dry box getting mowed over by the train and a big destruction scene why because it's a hike round Crossing and it says no trucks but lot of them can't read follow the GPS isn't that's what happens
The good thing for you when do you have to back away from that Crossing that intersection was a stop I had a situation like that years ago I had to call the local cops out I didn't trust backing across because it was such a heavily-traveled county Road and I said I'm not got nobody that wants to help stop the traffic so I could back out so if you guys don't mind coming out or I'll just block your road
