Making a mistake is OK. Lieing about if you did is bad. Lieing about it when you know I saw it is worse. Lieing about it when I saw it AND on camera can't be tolerated. I'm a father always. Not always friend. I'm raising a adolescent into a man. Not a snowflake. I am hard. But fair.
We don't need snowflakes and it never done me any harm. Markuk
I like your method.
I agree touching positive to a grounding surface is not good at all. I dislike snowflakes and the parents who raised them to be one
That’s the proper way to learn. Teach him now on something small before he does something big and gets hurt
Mate my dad just passed away and them life lessons are what you remember the most after the good times for someone looking from the outside in I think he thought you ment the negative terminal not the the box it self lol trust me he will never forget and will smile when he sees someone else do it be it his kids someone else thinking of this. Also it's been said already but there is nothing wrong with been tough but fair it teaches discipline something that is lacking in his generation and will carry him through his life good to see in my eyes I'm the same with my daughters
That experience your kid is getting with you is priceless. He will look back on this video someday with fond memories. Here is to a speedy recovery for Orwell.
MATT, YOUR A GOOD GUY, I HAD TWO SONS AND NEITHER ONE EVER HELPED ME WITH MY TRUCKS. YOUR DAD IS VERY PROUD OF YOU, FOR GOOD REASON.
5:00 I remember when my dad used to yell at me working on cars... Rip dad
Lol, had the same experience with my dad.
Ah, it was how I learned mechanical skills. He was really patient with me as a novice but there were some “direct” instructions. After you are on your own, you figure out they were valuable life lessons.
RIP Dad.
Same here,now that I’m 42 Now appreciate his yelling .....RIP. Seen this two they get along just like two best friends.👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎
LOL, Like my dad... 20 years later .. now i work on my own cars..
Lost mine on the 27th of march he was the same he would tell you once shout the second and if you got to a 3rd time wack lol or throw something whatever was close by to hand
Thanks for the laughs! It was like my Dad was and I, were working together again! I was holding the flashlight, "I'm working up here, Will", was yelled ALOT!
Yeah I can see why you work for Wiedmeyer now. Fritz understood that what I call the 'oath of fealty' - the contract between worker and boss, it goes both ways. You support your boss, your boss, in return, supports you.
That kind of boss goes from 'boss' to 'lifelong friend' quite quickly. There aren't enough bosses like that in the world.
I have one...thank God. My pu broke down n he pulled his project car out the shop n towed mine n put it in the shop! Told me to take my time n fix it. I was like how much...He said I don't want your money!" It's been there 4 weeks. I work on it when I return off the road every 2 weeks. What a guy
You WON'T get that in Corporate America. That was a great story in this vid. Much respect.
Your Ohio Porter buddy here. Good stuff. The story was quite good. He placed much value on his drivers and that makes a big difference all around. That’s not true with all small companies or even larger ones, in my experience. If more companies would have that attitude towards their drivers there would be families of drivers working for them and trucking would be even more exciting. That’s what I call TEAMWORK! Stripper glitter...well, that’s a new one for me. I should remember that one, like many other of your fans. I enjoy seeing your son work with you. Treat him well, and even let him make those mistakes on his own. Sometimes you have to make the mistakes to learn from them, but not always. Good job. I worked with my dad and oldest brother and learned a great deal. That’s more fun than anything else when you work with your family like that. Keep it coming. 🤩
LOL I love this! You are a little hard on him a couple times, but I totally understand it's frustrating and sometimes you need to be a little hard to get through a thick skull. Better you than me! Keep this kind of content coming! (I actually remembered to hit the like button)...
I remember wrenching with my dad. I'd give anything to have that back again. he yelled a lot but he wanted me to learn, sometimes the hard way. I used to get mad at him because I thought he was being a jerk but looking back on it, he was teaching me valuable lessons
and I do the same with my boys. brings back lots of memories watching you guys. and Matt, you'll look back at that battery episode one day and giggle and it will all make sense. have fun gentlemen 👍
I passed you and orwell this morning on 76 just east of Akron Ohio this morning. I was on the eastbound side. Made for a great birthday morning. Keep pressing them knobs and hammering down. Love the videos
it was really good to see you and your son having fun working on Orwell thank you for your video
Nothing like stripper glitter on you after a expensive night 😂 Great story about Fritz, Steve he sure did sound like a class act.
damn, the problems keep coming with Orwell. Fritz Wiedmeyer, and Wiedmeyer Express seem like a great man/boss, and a great company to work for
I owned my own company years ago and would "trip lease" with smaller companies. Widmeyer, RE Hansen, and Clarke bros. we're 3 companies I'd love to haul for..
Reminds me of me n my brother helping the old man late at night holding the light. If we moved the light he'd go off the hinges lol he's 84 now n no longer wrenches. Made me the man I am today. Bonified gear jammer/wrencher
I love this video! The interaction between father and son
is authentic and refreshing. There is no toxic political correctness, and nobody seems to be preening for the camera.
I think I made this comment once already but it was a blessing that you were in the game enough to recognize that there was a problem before major trouble developed......I'm talking on top of what you already had. Matt would nut up on you for a little wouldn't he? I love the way he puffs up then tries to hide it. I've seen somebody purty close kin to him do the same thing. Good video Hero. I love to watch you guys work on stuff together. Later
I stopped at that same Pilot east of Knoxville one night. I had some extra time on my hands so i figured i'd get a good sit down meal at that Perkins right next to it . I'm not sure if it's still a Perkins or not this was 20 years ago but anyway I had the chicken and catfish platter. huge mistake!! I jumped back in the truck and took off. By the time a got to Lexington i was so fricking sick i thought i was gonna die. My fingers swelled up so fat i couldn't even bend them. i stopped at our terminal in Lex to get fuel and i told the guy there i was gonna go park over in the lot there and try to sleep if i don't come out in about 8 hours when his shift was up to come and check on me ...lol. fortunately i was able to sleep and when i woke up i was back to normal. I'll never forget that and i've never ate at another fricking Perkins since.
Thats is so nice to See Father and son . Learning by doing thats the best. German way three Years learning all After shool. Only your son nice to See him . My Friends all Old Mechanic. Hopp the Transmission look not to Bad Inside.
Good Look Boys!!👍👍😉🇩🇪❤🇺🇸👍
That's a good kid. Seeing him lifting those batteries made me smile!
Great story of Fritz. That's a real company owner.
Something went on holiday in there. I'm reminded of helping a friend do an engine swap. Was a twin steer bogie drive Scania, cab over with a knuckle boom crane and a tipping flatbed with container pins. We had to get it done over the weekend so we got another knuckle boom to come by and lift out the old one and we spent the rest of the day with them side by side swapping out the ancillaries.
Next morning I turn up with coffee and egg bacon rolls but no Jim, I crawled under the gate and called out and a faint reply came, "i'm in here". He had climbed into the sleeper with the cab hinged and couldn't get out. We got the donor engine fitted and all back together that day after I laughed myself silly.
To top it off, I shared a house with another mechanic and when I related my weekend adventures he asked why did you have to get another crane truck, why not just use the crane to lift the engine out?
That's some real valuable parenting there. Good job of our humble host 👍
Lol,,,poor lil feller,,,I tell everybody, you can't hurt my feelings,i used to hold the flashlight for my dad,,,good to see young men interested in what their dad is doing!
I laughed way to hard at the 'Stripper Glitter' comments...
Here is a project for your son. When I take stuff apart I take the time to wire wheel and completely clean up parts as much as possible prior to reassembly. I use TremClad gloss black paint over a red oxide primer coat. Clean the parts with a degreaser first. Everything will look very Gucci afterward and will be easier to work on or around later. It becomes much easier to keep stuff clean. The parts become corrosion resistant. This paint finishes off silky smooth and is best brushed on. Do not buy the spray bomb cans. Teach him the value of what little extra it actually takes to do a professional job. I have a vibrating shaker unit with ground walnut shells ( reptile bedding at the Pet store is same but much cheaper! ) to more easily clean small parts while doing larger parts with the wheel.
I'm old a school myself. Always loved cab over as a kid and still do today.
Matt you are lucky to have a dad like Steve. My dad wasn't around in my first 10 years of my life. Then i was forced to live with my dad & he was a complete a**hole. He used to hit us sometimes but verbal abusive all the time. When my grandma passed away on my mom side, he told me " I should make yall walk there"
It's nice to see a father and son doing things together. Nowadays, seems like that is so rare. I know Steve you appreciate it.
Though you have to get Matt some Jean without a hole in the knee. Just doesn't seem safe.
Loving the music, Steve.
Really enjoy the Orwell recovery episodes.
O.M.G. (laughing) you fast forward the jack up, that sound is so hilarious... lol
My brother can tell you a thing or two about the D9 batteries. He was putting one back into the box on a 1982 silver Eagle tour buss and the tray that the battery was to sit in broke and it allowed the battery to twist and when it did it arced against the metal inside the box and the battery exploded in his face. He is now 59 years old and he has problems with his hearing and he also has problems with his eye sight. So you always have to be careful when working with large batteries like the D9.
despite what fullers says the older trans do better with a 90w straight or 90w 140 depending on area. Syncros worked better and less wear than 50w even synthetic
When I was younger my uncle had a cabover mack with 2 gear shifters, however I always had a fear as a child about cabover trucks if you apply the brakes hard the cab will go over on you🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😂 but now I love cabover trucks they are just cool looking 👍🏾👍🏾 and til this day I still have that fear of cabover trucks🤷🏾♂️😂😂
Dad and son bonding over stripper glitter. Edit: No wonder you still work for Wiedmeyer after hearing that story.
Alot of small companies are that way.. they treat their guys right..
@@hughstephenson2957 That's true. What's also nice is that Steve knows loyalty is a two-way street. I wish we all had a boss like Fritz.
That's the way I modeled my company. My driver's were family. I held BBQs for em a couple times a year, I had a terminal in S.Holland IL (Chicago area) I flew my driver's and office folks that wanted to come for an allexpense paid "Wyoming experience" (which they loved Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks, among other things). Heck, I paid for a new roof on one of my driver's house cause he was so busy working he didn't have time..
I like this guy's personality he's funny seems like a real nice guy I've been following him on you tube for a little while now I enjoy his videos I liked his yellow pete cab over
You can see part of the metal flakes coming out of the transmission inside the oil when it's pouring down
That is awesome how you work with your son like this. He will thank you so much later on. You can tell he isn't happy because you called him out on it. LOL You made sure he understands what to do because of this or that. Nice job staying on him and you have done a great job because he kept his mouth shut. :-)
Sounds like old fritz was an old school awesome soul , your story reminds me of a couple of such stories from my late grand father
What grumpy teacher
Father an son wrench swinging and gettin dirty. If this was live and he was old enough to drink it would easily be the best podcast ever.
Steve, just saying, I wish we had more owners like Mr. Wiedmeyer. He sounds like he was an awesome boss, and because of your work ethic, he did what he had to, to save you money, get the load delivered, AND get your truck back to you, by the time you got back. How many owners would do that for their workers today? I keep hearing how "Oh, owners of companies are capitalists, which means they're evil, we need socialism, blah, blah, blah."
They dont get that hard-working guys like you do a good job, and owners see that, when you have a breakdown, like you did with Orwell. Your company is a good one to work for, Steve -- dont ever let them go, because they sound like they take really good care of you.
Sorry about the political aspect of my comment if that bothers you, but it grinds my gears (no pun intended, lol) when I hear people who want everything for free and never worked a day in their life, trash-talk good companies and good owners of those companies.
Fritz Wiedmeyer was a great boss, and friend. 🙏
....Steve, U R a great Trucker, and U will always find friends to help U out.
I dont know where U R now, but U will have NO problem financing a new Truck U need.
Crossing the country, U need a new Truck, Orwell is good for daily short trips.
Follow the times cuz its always smart to jump a 50 year technology to a new vehicle.
this is your business, NOT your Hobby.
Regards.
Ahhh seeing him teach his boy good wrench discipline brings back the memories when my father would throw wrenches at me when I screwed off lol
Reminds me of working on my Peterbilts, it isn't fun but the money saved makes it worthwhile, pull toy here.
There is also enough current in those batteries to KILL someone. Most OTR trucks have a CCA capacity when they are fully charged in the 4000 amp range from the batteries being hooked up. It takes less than 1 milliamp to kill you.
i realize these videos are like a month or 2 out, but this woulda been a good opportunity to fix the speedometer issue
It's no necessary because in an earlier episode Steve showed us that he's using the Speedmeter app, which is pretty good. Maybe someday he will add one of those GPS speedometers to the dash.
@@here-i-am2316 i know. i use the same app on my chinese scooter.
im just saying that if the issue with the speedo is in the trans it would be a good to to mess with it. the only other things would be the cable and gauge itself.
Wow Steve man , your son Matt is such a gas , totally a chip off the old block LOL , great content fellas 👍🏻💪🏻keep your rubber on the road , and also keep this kick ass episodes comin
I watched a guy tilt the cab in one of pur Army trucks , next thing you know the fire extinguisher comes smashing threw the window
Definitely '' ground '' 🙂
I shorted a wrench once. Jammed it against the stacks. 24V. Wrench got red hot :D
I worked at a small gas station .
My boss told onetime a young employee tilt the cab of otr driver and a t-v went through the windshield .
keep the videos coming
Nice work bro. Always a good show
5:00 that's why you disconnect the ground first and connect it last.
He IS a good kid and you KEEP bein' a model DAD!
Lmao my son's do they same to me youngsters being hard headed 😂
Your son is a Good young man. I’m impressed 🤗
Hey Matt you are right Fritz was A great man God bless his soul
oh yes, there are some windshields on trucks in Norway during the year. most common are ipad and notebooks.
which is forgotten by those who tip the cabin.
The brand workshops now have a rule that they should open and see if there are things that damage the windscreen before starting to tip the cabin.
to even easier to forget, on the very latest trucks that the cabin jack is electric
Me and my dad working on the duramax. You guys are classic.
Thought you'd show the company truck all cleaned up. It would look better looking clean for your driver recruiting video!!! lol
I couldn't tell as it wasn't in the video long enough but was that drain plug magnetic ?. The reason I ask is that it would have been overloaded with metal flakes had it been and its a good practice to do a plug swap on the trans and diffs every so often to do a visual and feel the wear metal. I've talked with more then one mechanic/shop foreman at large oil field companies up here in Alberta and they change their trans and diff oils far more frequently then the over the road recommendation is and for the reason that they are finding the oils service life isn't what the claims are. That and once that magnetic plug can no longer hold onto anymore fine wear metals then the particles are constantly circulating around in the system and causing accelerated wear.
great kid, he reminds me of me back about 30 years ago when my father was teaching me...
Yes teach him now so when he's older he already know's how and why... Awesome video's
Since I started watching, always been curious what it looks like inside the cab when it goes vertical. Guess it's pretty boring since all you have in there is blankets. Ever have an oh shit moment with an open drink left in there when raising it?
Met a guy a long time ago had a five gal bucket rubber snubbed to his 318 Detroit ,I asked him what the bucket was he said that’s my puck bucket when it’s full I can pour it back in .....I was dumb founded lmao 😂
Steve it sounds like the old man Fritzmeyer god rest his sole he took pride in his owner operators you don't find people like that today that's a man who respected his driver's & owner operators and the kids now running it are following in his foot steps I know your really appreciate that family owned trucking company sounds like if you do your job an do it well they would do anything to help his driver's & owner operators. And as far as your son keep up working him hard even though sometimes young ones have a hard he'll remember what you did for him.
That’s the proper way to learn. Teach him now on something small before he does something big and gets hurt. The guys that taught me damn near everything about being a diesel mechanic had his son at the shop one day and told him to alway be cautious and keep your head on a swivel. That very same day another mechanic started a truck while on the bottom step. He didn’t know but the truck was in gear and that bitch ran right into the wall. He said told you shit can happen at any moment
I left a 379 Peterbuilt at the dealer in Knoxville back in 2007. As far as i know, they never figured out what was wrong with the engine.
Toasted . But you have it handled . That is why I watch . It's always an adventure. Respect .
I bought my new pete in 1978 13 speed I always ran a gallon of STP in the transmission and rearend over 2 million miles never had a transmission go bad but did rebuild the rearend at about a million miles.
Stripper gliter......ok way to funny even my wife got a big charge 🤣 out of that
That’s a good company to work for if they go out of their way to deliver you a truck
Good episode .
Prime example of why u ALWAYS disconnect the ground first
Check your transmission cooling lines before you finish
Me and my brother used to help our dad with his trucks like this all the time. My name was always "Damnit" and my brothers name was "Jesus Christ". Good memories...so don't feel too bad. We all knew it was aggravating working on older stuff. Years from now he will watch these and smile.
I still don't have a TV in my truck, my first truck repair was under a k100 with my dad front leafspring RIP
RC tv them heavy tubes, They least long then any of the flat screen but the flat screens are lite. That fast forward near 2:05 made me laugh, flip the tape over and press play.
Check the play by play. Safe is key, don't want anything to happen. Good ol day out helping your day fix stuff then yell at you for doing it wrong, sooner or later you will get it right.
You will learn very quick once you know you doing it wrong or something happens.
I had metal in my trans just wks after being talked into synthetic. Rebuilt, went back to Mother Earth oils
Are those car batteries? The ones we had in our old truck, you couldn't lift single handed, they were that heavy. Only 2 (2x12V) of them though.
Used to call those bus or boat batteries. 4D & 8D 12 volt batteries. But 6 volt batteries, like Orwell has, have much better cranking power. At least I'm pretty sure they're 6 volt. Hard to tell from the video but I didn't notice any vent caps to see if there were 3 or 6 caps. Hmm, they just might be sealed 12 volt. Let's see if Steve let's us know.
That is old schools but is the right way to raise these young people today.
First and last rule of batteries, ground cables. First off, last on.
are you going to do a clutch inspection
easiest to pull a trans is a cab over from the top if not to much crap in the way
Just subbed. Cool channel. Love the no bullshit content 👍
Perhaps that's what I need metal in my oil, perhaps I might move a bit quicker? or should I stick to me bowl of cereal? Ok Steve not a good sight but keep trucking. Markuk
What is behind the truck number 808?
"Ah, Grasshopper. You'aa say "ground." I say "ground." Your "ground" not same as my "ground." Now go lay on ground, detach the cable from ground "TERMINAL" while I go to Bus Terminal ...
Hi Steve, i love your videos. Great content!!!
The story of Fritz Wiedmeyer and your first meeting with him was very interesting. By the way: Was Fritz or his family from Germany? The name sounds a littlebit german. :-)
What’s Orwell got for a motor?
Reminds me of my father and me and me and my son.
Stripper glitter!🤣
Stripper glitter! Lmao
Wow so much metal , tooth fairy came to Orwell ?
Opa eai meu bom . Tudo bem . Cara curto bastante seu caminhão cabover sou do Brasil e gosto muito dos caminhões americanos. Um abraço
Thats wassup! school him old school kids think they already know it all he’s learning a trade right now
Saw the widmeyer kw 673 at the pilot in nitro wv
guessing matt is your son?
awesome learn alot
That's some shiney oil O_O
I think I would be using Amsoil Trans fluid in here from now one as well as the oil and all lubes, you will never be sorry, believe me.
