This load was my first after a long time off after Thanksgiving. About two weeks before Christmas.

Pierce’s Employee of the Month. Such a charmer!
Talk about "Mr. Personality!" I really despise coming across these "type" of folks who have a personality of a door mat! If you are that miserable doing your job, RESIGN!!
hey friend.....I heard a cardiologist on TV yesterday advise caution for everyone thats had covid and exerting themselves in the cold weather. Risk of heart attack and death....you seem to be breathing heavy and I would imagine that your BP is way high[happens to all of us right]....much respect brotha
Was about to comment the same. Stay safe out there, I know trucking life is hard and it's real easy to not eat right and stay in shape, this day and age we all gotta be extra careful after getting/beating the beer flu lol
The customer is always right until they piss off the dispatcher 😁
RockHead. Where's a 19 year old when you need him? He will SEND IT
snow in WI? how unusual! Steve breathing a bit heavy there
I love those Peterbilt cabovers! Lots of great memories traveling all over the United States and Canada with my Dad, in many different kinds of truck and trailers but the Peterbilts have always been my favorites!
Back in '74 I hauled cattle with a '72 Pete cabover. 425hp Cat and 13 speed Road Ranger. What great memories!
I have hundreds of channels here on the TH-cam, but this channel is one of my favorites by far. I miss the biz a bunch, so I just wanted to say I appreciate your videos, it's like I'm riding shotgun.
You are like me Steve. As I get older I find I hate the cold more each day. Hope you don’t have to mess around with the batteries on this one. My brother in law had COVID, even though he was double vaccinated he will never be the same again. Roll on the summer.
I remember my days hauling heavy duty equipment. Most times you had to deal with a slippery deck. It's part of the job. Another great vid FSC, thanks for sharing...
Here we see a new Pierce starting its life in its natural environment of having to be on a flatdeck or behind a wrecker.
I did not know how involved a process this is. Learned something new.
He posted another fire truck video and when he unchained the chains, you'll appreciate the the craft and knowledge.
@@sparkypvp2167 I need the rest of this video he keeps teasing us with, lol
There is only one way to chain down equipment to your deck. The only way will do is the right way. Most people don’t know how much a 140,000 lbs piece of equipment moves on a deck chained improperly. It’s actually scarey. Stretch the links on a heavy duty chain so it stands up by itself will give an indication your load is moving.
Sweet Pete... Greetings from the Great White North eh... Next time - add a Jetson motoscooter sound when the forklift whizzes by ;)
First truck I ever rode in was an international cabover I was like 4 or 5 and I couldn’t even climb in by myself. It was the time of my life and I still think about it even though I drive a truck now. That was literally the most epic thing me and my dad ever did and boy was he jamming some gears and grabbing some horn. You never know how one experience can shape the rest of your life.
Fire engine driver did a great job, under slippy conditions.
Very Interesting on how the trailer is configured, many thanks for sharing these great videos.
After many many years, I had always wondered about those trailers. I have seen them apart but did not know how equipment was loaded onto the trailers.
Wow,, that's a lot of crap just to de-tatch and in a cabover too,,, your hard-core brother,
FSC Trucking ,Loved here in England.
Hey bud, need new seat or reupholster old seat. When you get a chance. Love the truck. Wow that is a pain to load that truck in winter time. Hot coffee after that. Stay safe all the best.
love your Pete ,but you have to upgrade the interior.
Steve us chatters love it when you have your go pro pointed at the point where your truck hooks up with your trailers.🙂
It took 4 time's to load a track loader on my trailer in the snow last week, have a safe trip becarefull out there
Happy new year Steve. Hard work in that weather. Chaining it down and going south is a good call. Hope you have a safe trip and a good weekend 🙂
Usually a lot of places have a covered plastic bin about 4’x4’x4’ off to the side that has utility grade sand so you can throw down for traction.
Another good idea for the cold climate places you could keep a couple 10lb. bag of cat litter which is always a good idea especially when you are trying to hook the tractor back to the loaded trailer in this slick snow or deck.
Too bad they wouldn't mount a go pro on top of the tower ladder. Love that heavy breathing ASMR. LUL
thanks for still making the videos
Love the enforcer. Hands down favorite to drive. They feel so nimble!
Nice demonstration of how to break and connect a manual double drop trailer.
What a hell of a job, hard work and we thank you for what you do.
Too bad that they do not have a heated inside bay that can be utilized for loading these Pierce 500 to 700 thousand dollar engines.
Love how he record him self putting in work
What woah woah woah, are you wearing a sweatshirt are you insane!
Not only does it take a lot of skill to do what you do, but no gym membership is needed, either.
You get a real workout, hauling loads on a flatbed. Love that Peterbilt cabover. That's a real truck, not a gussied up princess.
Just be glad it’s them loading it and can’t blame you for being a rookie! Lol!
Just an observation Steve. I know your breathing has always been an issue but my uncle was also a larger gentleman and climbing up and down the truck puts an incredible strain on your lower body especially the knees. The excess weight doesn’t help either. Being stuck in that chair all day you don’t get much exercise either. It’s part of the job.
I would suggest that you try to go for a short walk before you go to sleep or a couple times through he day. It only takes about 10- 15 minutes a day to keep your heart rate up while getting your lungs to do it’s job by putting more oxygen into your bloodstream and working at peak efficiency just like your truck. If you have dirty air filter, your truck works harder to produce the same amount of work.
Watching my uncle who worked hard all his life and then to watch him slowly wither away to nothing after he retired was not fun to watch especially when his mind was still sharp. His body ended up failing because of the lack of exercise from the lifestyle of trucking for over 40 years of being in that seat.
I only say this to you because I have followed you from day one and have enjoyed every one of your videos especially when you took the time to respond back to me a couple times. It’s your personal touch to talk to your fans like myself that I enjoy so much and you being real and not just some opinionated blowhard like in other channels of which I don’t have time to waste watching.
Much respect bruddah and All the best for 22!
Another great video!
I have 2 questions. Why don't they spread some sand on the slick deck for traction?
Would a piece of plastic keep you dryer when crawling under to chain down? Cold and wet usually equals sick for me.
I certainly would use a cheap tarp to cover ground while going under even while snowing, as still wouldn’t be as wet as ground/pavement.
Just retired after 38 years of trucking. Stuff like this never gets any easier and customers seldom, if ever, acknowledge the skills needed to safely load and haul and oddball load.
Interesting that some departments contract a trucking company to deliver their new apparatus. I lived along a major interstate where all the Pierce units, headed for departments on the East Coast coast travelled. Usually, fire departments would fly in a couple of their own firefighters to drive the new rig back to the station on the interstates. This “assignment” is seen as big prestige and a reward.
Great video Steve really enjoyed watching the process to load the fire truck stay safe.
I remember when my dad use to drive the them trucks long time ago
The Fire Rig needs water in the tank. I understand it's cold, but the wht. Of the water helps put down pressure on the back tire. The older Fire Rigs use to have Diff. Lock switches in dash.
If you thought this was bad. Just yesterday I filmed loadeding on ice.
@@fsctrucking
Be careful on Loading. There is no room on each side of your trailer. Those FD rigs are spinners. With empty water tanks. Have seen them spin out on streets. The drop down chains, that lots of new Fire Rigs have, like school busses. Are really not very good. Have heard that from Battalion Chief Friend of mine. They don't work in snow that is deeper. Slower driving speeds. You need those tread plates like they put on Military TANKS. That they use to carry on rack on outside steel frame. There rubber pads get slippery on Loading onto Train cars. Have seen then slid off. What if you put your TRUCK chains under the rear tires when loading. Just a thought. Can you make a carry board that has chains bolted to it to just slid on trailer, that the rear wheels can get traction on. Those FD rigs are to expensive to slid off trailer, get damaged. There is so much custom/ man hours put into there production. Very expensive none assembly line work to build them.
Hey Steve, any plans on replacing that drivers seat? Looks pretty beat!
or have it re-upholdered I guess for the originality
Cannot wait for the next one
I feel your pain Steve I have had to climb up the side of a flatbed with a tarp in that weather and it was no fun. Stay Safe
Good to see you're back
he was so concerned about slipping lol hilarious
As others have commented, the older I get the closer together my minimum and maximum temperatures get. I guess when I"m 90 years old it will be 72°~74° F. 👍😎🤗
In NE Wyoming where I live Thursdays low was -17. The high yesterday was 49.. Mother Nature's dyslexic...
Hard work pays off !!!
The factory garage has enough room you could have sat in there to chain it down .much warmer I'm sure
Plus they should have a nice heated loading area for the truckers.
Always gettin it done fez 👌🏼
Love the fire trucks .. give them 10 or 20 years and they be for sale to the public for almost pennies on the dollar
I would stop ev'ry 2-300 miles or so and crank this puppy up...That way don't have dink with the battery like before...Kinda like running a Reefer load...Ev'ry so often you have to stop and chk the temps....
I would think they have a battery shut off switch like semis do. Just shut that off and should be alright since nothing would drawing off batteries.
Things can look a bit sketchy when seen from afar then I realise why people used to stop, stare and wince when I was throwing 12 cars on a transporter on a busy road outside a car dealer in the middle of London :)
Excellent as per..Top Man
Steve sir / that guy peace work lol / love ole school trucks & yes the weather ugh _ u doing g a good job 👏👍👌/be safe
You work HARD, PLS Bcareful. Travel Safely and Be Well!!
Orwell Rocks!!! 💒🎵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥
Boy...that guy at the beginning of the video, talk about Mr. Personality
YOUR A STAND UP GUY STEVE APPRECIATE YOU BUDDY...💯%
If you throw a chain between the duals it makes it easier to tie down. No crawling under and it's safe and legal! Nice job, Steve.
Yeah, go ahead and mark up those aluminum wheels.
@@danmetcalf7184 It really doesn't mark them up. Besides they are on inside and not seen.
I'd love to see a dump value in the truck but I love the videos keep them coming
How about in snowy weather carrying a bag of salt and spreading it on the deck before loading?
Because the salt will eat the trailer… do you see all the wood on the deck? Bad enough riding on the interstate, you have to constantly wash as it is
I like what you do. It looks fun.
Hey bud u have been talking about building u another truck and put the Detroit motor that u have and u was talking about finding a cabover I don't no if u watch Gentry & Sons trucking on TH-cam cause I watch him to and he has been talking about getting some more cabovers cause he has a bunch of them and his 9 year old son has a beautiful one that they just had painted and putting it back together but anyways he said he just bought a bunch more of them and u might be able to talk to him and get one or him help u find one love the videos u do and be safe and always be careful out on the roads buddy
are you still Sick Steve? you breathing kinda heavy there that's all i hear?
I was cold and not feeling 100%. But I get comments on my breathing all the time. It's not like I don't work or anything...
See you are back at Pierce picking up another rig -- next time there keep an eye out for a bight yellow pumper from Lee's Summit, MO. Was this 2021 or 2020 -- the Pierce site as it being delivered 12/14/2020
This squeaky ass truck is absolutely helpless. This thing would get stuck on a banana peal!
Think they would have some dry play sand in the shop.
I've never tried to make everyone happy, and I never will. Just try to provide the best, consistent service to everyone I work with. If that's not good enough, oh well. Let's both move on and never talk/see each other again.
You might consider some form of scuba gear for wallowing around in such conditions give it a think and possibly a try
I bet having to do all that work just to load something up on a low loader has to get annoying sometimes lol
Well done. 👍🇺🇸
So we went from unsafe slippers to safe slippery🤔
You couldn't give me that lowboy. I'd cut it for scrap. Hydraulic detach run off of pto can be unhooked in less than 3 min, one exit out of the truck
Good thing I wasn't going to give it away then.
Are there any new cab over Kenworths in the USA? We have more than plenty here in Australia and I think they look awesome
New? Not that i have seen. There tuff to get in and out of. Ride hard and noisy sitting right on top of the motor. Great city trucks.
They don't make them here anymore.
After watching this video i believe you need to start running on the tread mill. Damn i thought anytime now that you where going to pass out from lack of oxygen!!
I’m constantly out of breath after being hospitalized with the Wu-Han Croupe.
Really surprised they let you film the lot
it takes longer to unhook the trailer than its worth,
Is the fire truck heading to Dorchestor County SC? I lived there for 13 years and miss it
Waaaaaoo keren banget bos ku
Hey man, why do you have to completely unhook and hook back up to take the neck off? One of the other channels I watch he just lowers the trailer, flips a lever, unhooks hoses and pulls off.
Mine is manual. Not hydraulic.
In the next episode we will hear his asmr gasping for another 15mins whilst he's chain down the fire truck
What was wrong with that jerk in the beginning? Why was he so rude?
Pierce in Appleton WI?
Has this been in for repairs at the Pierce plant in Wisc?
I have a question tho. Why would you not take a load with that little snow? I wish we had more of those easy days like that. I love driving in the snow, it keeps you awake.
What are you talking about? I took it.
@@fsctrucking the title? It suggests that is not a normal case to take loads with a few drops of snow. Thats the only reason for my question
I see you then get your new fuel sticker yet I got mine the other day came pretty quick this year
This was mid December. I have my new ones now.
I used rock salt for slippery deck be careful my friend
Disgusting when othe men watch someone work and just stand around when you all have the same goal. At least he grabbed one side of the ramp lol
How much of a pain in the arse would it be if that wood collapsed down or fell out after you broke away from the main trailer? could you still reconnect to it or would that require a tow boom?
4:58 What is this yard, exactly?
13:43 Xeroxes?
May I make a recommendation to you? Looks like you need to buy a new driver seat. Lol
I plan on buying a 50-55 ton lowboy. I see that these trailers are offered by various manufacturers in rear axle spacing of 54.5 inch or 60 inch. Which of these spacings is better and why please?
COE!!
You are making good money but this is obviously a heavy piece of bread
👍😉
If we fast forward through the video, does that affect the TH-cam money?
Why not just drive the firetruck to SC? Would be easier.
Fire apparatus are not built for comfort, also you are putting a lot of miles of a rig, just to get it there. It is much easier to trailer it down there, and perhaps even cheaper.
Like the vid but you huffin and puffin not so much. PLEASE try to go at a little slower pace. Consider how hard your heart is working to keep the oxygen supply going to your body.
Why not drive the firetruck to where it needs to go?
Wear and tear, mileage and gearing.
Fire truck engines already take a beating out in the field with the city driving, long idles and water pump jobs. No need to 'spend' the durability of the truck by driving cross-country
Plus how much it would cost in diesel?
非常に寒そうだね
Dam is there a better trailer that one looks like way too much work.
I don't think so, have you seen people tow exotic cars. It almost the exact same set up, but the angles have to be perfect or you will get dings and scuffs.
@@sparkypvp2167 thank you
If you ever look in Angelica Larson channel watching her take the neck out of her drop deck looks a whole lot more civilised. A few quick release couplings all done hydraulically even got hydraulic bottle Jack's instead of Steve's wooden sleeper, hydraulic extending bed too. These Swedes can always find the cash for the best gear, that's before we start on the 750bhp Volvo on the front.
...Your breathing ...awfully hard .....Lay off.... those big boxes of fried chicken .... I see in your cab .....frequently . Your headed for .... Heart-Attack city .... !
