  • The Peterbilt went to the shop today so I got a chance to re-live old glory days on the football field, and take the Freightshaker out for one last local pickup.
    2003 Freightliner Classic with 6NZ CAT POWER!! WOOO KITTY CATS CLIMB HILLS!! Fully loaded B-trains 137'000lbs. First half of leaving the facility is all uphill.

    My dad haf one of these when I was 12 or 13, it's the truck that got me into trucks, so cool you just happen to have a video of one. Watching the mirrors shake is giving me flashbacks too haha, ol' freightshaker

    Miss my 03 Classic XL. Mine had a Detroit in it. Got rid of it with the Elog mandate here in the States. Bought a 96 FLD to replace her for now.

    This is the same truck i run everyday. Daycab with a c15 and 18 spd. She takes a mile to turn. I have fun goin to demo jobs in Philly. But she rips and I love her..

    • @callthemall

      Nice! I was almost wondering if it was indeed the same truck, this one was sold a bit after making this video. Has a flat top sleeper on it though

    Did you make the "STOP"? The one where you stop, get out and walk around, trying to figure out if the one of the brakes are sticking. Whilst looking for that lose part that may or may not have fallen off before you got pulled over...!!

      Wow I’m amazed you found a place hiring right now! I usually do building supplies which is right now considered an essential service, so I have been moving still, but things are finally slowing down a bit for me. Earlier this week I almost dead headed from Philadelphia back to Ontario, but a load popped up last second...

    Some of the tri axle drivers are scary. I had one fly by me on the shoulder. Then use a turning lane in a intersection to pass 3 cars and cut one off

      Brent Manzella they pulled out from the side street as I was already committed to the turn, but I’ll admit I used up more of their lane than I wanted, the turning radius of this Freightliner ain’t the greatest...
