That wonderful truck isn’t old, just a little more experienced in life!
And she carries her battle scars with proud🤩
Still have my money on twins.
I think a shaved head is great. I have been doing it for 15 years. I really think Peterbuilt should send you a new steering wheel since you have so much pride in the truck.
Stop looking out that back window rookie! Lol
A professional uses every tool in his toolbox to get the job done right 😜
That's cool to see that yall haul freight down to El Paso, TX. I lived there for 22 years!
my grandpa was a Truck Driver and my dad is a Truck Driver my Uncle was a Truck Driver and i got to go on may Trips with my Grandpa and Dad when they use to do Runs from Vancouver to Calgary and Edmonton and i got to go on Longer Trips with my Uncle Because he work for England Trucking down in the USA and i got to see most of America when i spent 9 months with him and the only states i have not visit is the Hawaiian Islands i hope one day i get to do that
Josh, since your shaving your head soon, could that mean your going to grow out your beard again??? lol
That axle being up also makes turning easier. Good video josh
The lift axle can also save toll fees on toll bridges and toll roads where you are charged by the axle.
Good afternoon Josh and thumbs UP to you.
When my sons were little. I took them out on the road a couple times. Now driving OTR is the last thing they want to do.
What happened to your gaming Channel?
Miss watching you driving truck that way.
I thought you parked the Silverado aside your truck. But when you backed-up the car was disappeared. How come?
Just curious, maybe it's just what you show us on camera, but do you always escort the dogs outside? I get it at the old house, but this is a fenced yard now. Do you ever just let them out alone? If not, why? Not hating/attacking, just wondering. Love the vlogs. Be safe!
Josh, just a tip...don't drive over this GoPro...ok? Glad we had this little talk, have a great day! :)
Come to Oklahoma!! We will show you our hospitality!!
I am sure The Mistress would enjoy a nice polish on her chrome.Really do miss Diesel in the truck ,but getting use to it.Great video stay safe🇨🇦🇬🇧😷👍
I'm north east of Austin. Enjoy the vlogs.
13:06 yeah I was conceived in a truck and I was in a truck when I was in my mum’s belly and then when I was a baby and I still go with him still the day
Also my dad thinks I’m a disappointment because I’m not like him
Just my opinion. But when you get in a truck and the steering wheel is that bad, there’s absolutely nothing wrong asking for a newer one.
I think the older trucks are much better looking than the newer trucks.
Good vlog Josh, your truck might be old but its still a very good truck, nice to see Brit and the boys. Thanks.
Hi Josh I love your videos. Just wondering when you pick up freight in a flatbed and bring it back to the yard do you leave your tie downs on the load or take it off and let the road driver re secure it with their own straps and chains
Send that go pro back and get a credit toward either a refurbished one of the same model or a new one. They will give a credit toward getting another go pro
Were I work they have a mobile crew every weekend 1 day too do trucks 2 too do trailers.
lol i knew that would happen at some point filming urself parking with the go pro lol
Do you mean to say it would be inconvenient to carry a ring light on your Go-Pro monopod and tripod?
We here in Florida love your vlogs brother! You and the family take care. Hug the Weasel for me !
she sounds a little rough but great truck
Thank you for the video Josh
How's Diesel doing and how old is he now
Please bring back diesel
polish those stacks eh
Lift Axle Josh
Made it again.
If your company could Hire out of Texas!! I would like to Drive for them!! Sounds like a lot of freight and a lot of miles!!!!!!
👍 Trucker Josh one of the best refreshing learning esp for a Starter and even some can learn...from a retired 27 yr driver medical retired...Stay Safe &Happy Trails 🚛🚛🚛
Hey Josh!
@12:27 (or so)...Yeah, you need to be around for the raising of him, or her, or THEM!!!! LOL!!!

I'm a trucker in Europe and I drive a 6x2 taglift with triple axle trailer. Both the front and the back axle on the trailer can be lifted or lowered from the cabin. So with no or very little load 3 of the 6 axles are lifted. Sometimes when i'm in a tight spot I lower the front trailer axle because that helps a bit with the turning radius. In the winter when empty I sometimes drive with the rear trailer axle lowered because it's slightly more weight on the drives.
Also while I have 6 axles I only have 14 wheels total while in North America with 6 axles you would usually have 20 wheels. Most semitrailers in Europe are triple axle with 6 wheels in total...
I'll keep a look out. I truck from Albuquerque to El Paso and back Tuesday's through Saturday's. I'll give a shout on the radio in case he has one.
Aw c'mon. Brit knew who she was marrying. She is an internet sensation now. We love Brit AND Josh!
A 3rd reason (at least a reason when the axle is up) is it saves you money going through tolls. I don't know about up there but in the U.S we have tolls that charge by the axle. So having that axle means you don't have to pay for it. Watched a video of another trucking youtuber and he went from $20.00 to $15.00 for having his lift axle up on a spread axle flatbed
Seems like your dad has been with Keystone Western for a long time! My brother calls my 2 year old niece “The future trucker”
I have the GoPro hero 7 too josh, super cool that it has built in stability so you basically don’t need to hold it on a stick
your truck needs on the backside "sandblasting" and the a nice coating. John
I wanted to knows if the outback light is set by motion and stays on for a set time or is it always on after dark? A really informative show today Josh, thanks!
It's nice when you use your head mounted camera, you should do that more often. It's nice to get to see what you're looking at when you're driving.
Josh in the US those trailers your pulling are called stagecoach on the CB
Alice of Keystone Trucking.
Josh now u got a wife so u best watch out saying ur fine with intertaning urself 🤣🤣🤣 and also if the lift axle is up makes it easier to back up u forgot that one what i mean is it swings better
What does the letters mean that come after the number on the trailer
Identifies the type of trailer to us
First
Always nice to see everyone
Third reason for axle up is most toll roads charge for tires on the ground 👍🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸
Never thought of that!!
I think i saw you today! eastbound marion at archibald around 11am
That was me! Pulling the blue Darcol covered wagon
That’s not extra stress on those airbags holding that third axle up when not in use? Great to see Brit and the dogs again!!
drop axles use 2 sets of airbags... the main load carrying bags, and the axle lift bags. generally the axle lift bags have a set pressure, to securely carry the axle. the main load bags, can either be connected to the main suspension valve for pressure, or run (more commonly) a preset air pressure to max axle capacity. Most of the drop axle trailers I have run, are switched electrically from a switch in the cab. Some are automatic, based on suspension load. and some are, as seen in this video, switched on the trailer.
all lift axles, are set so that Either the Load bags, or the Lift bags, are supplied with pressure, not both, and the other bags are vented, to stay deflated. So, the load bags are deflated when the lift bags are inflated, and the lift bags are deflated when the load bags are inflated. As long as you don't overload the truck, no bag should ever be beyond it's designed load capacity (assuming you are using the correct air bags). You may have noticed that the lift bags are far smaller diameter than the load bags, this is because their ONLY duty, is to lift the axle off the ground and hold it tight to the chassis.
@@bigtrucker26 he turn nob to lift axle back up, didn’t seem to lift it as high
@@bighands675 I'm pretty sure he was dropping the trailer, and had cut off the air to the trailer. This would have reduced the air pressure considerably as first it tried to fill the load bags, then it tried to fill not only the lift bags, but also repressurize the non lift axle air bags, which would have bled off pressure when the drop axle started to take some of the load off them.... While there are air tanks on trailers, for a reserve, that is a lot of air use to fill airbags... Likely the pressure of the trailer reserve had gotten too low to fully raise the axle.
@@bigtrucker26 no idea don’t drive semi either just wondering
@@bighands675 basically, I don't think the trailer was still being supplied with air pressure by the truck, so, it was losing capability every time it was doing something...
Perhaps read comments on your vlogs again.
Another interesting and informative video. By the way, did you happened to see Andy showing off his newest Kenworth 900 for sale?
The truck was like I can here you but she doesn’t start up
