    • @jericho1-4
      @jericho1-4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Believe it or not this idea was toyed with for awhile, many municipalities don't like the idea cause when you think about the power draw that apparatus has the battery runs out after about six or seven hours. Most structural fires require at the minimum a five hour response and as the number of alarms rung goes up the time on scene expands per the fire itself. Then there is the issue of recharging the apparatus to extend its response time on scene, water and electricity don't mix and anyone whose ever seen a mild to moderate fire knows water gets EVERYWHERE. The consensus was this idea just wasn't a viable one and wasn't really cost affective either cause they cost a good chunk of change more than standard apparatus. From what I heard from the equipment/vehicle purchaser at the critical disaster/mutual aid response service I work for is the technology just isn't there yet to make these apparatus worth the investment, and I would have to agree. Our job is risky enough as it is, no one wants to worry about your rig being a liability as well.

      @@jericho1-4 -- Well, it's actually a "Hybrid" as it has a small diesel. If there is any indication that the truck will stay in service for more than, say, an hour, they would start the diesel. Of course, everything is in the details. It's possible that the diesel is so small that if it's pumping a LOT of water, all the diesel will do is extend the run time. It might even be they the diesel isn't a part of the main drive train.

    I'm a first time subscriber. Finally an intelligent man on TH-cam. Diesel fuel does control the world. The farmers know it, the truckers know it, industry knows it, railways know it, airlines know it, but the current administration doesn't have a clue that the price of fuel is driving inflation off the map. Keep the great videos coming.

    Years ago I had to park at that rest stop but in front of the building next to 3 other trucks. When I woke up, there were cops busting the other drivers because they started on the other end instead of me first. I looked at the one of the cops and he looked at me. He gave to nod to leave, so I left in a hurry. All the other guys got tickets

    "Revenue over safety" reminds me of the funny ad parody for SWIFT Transportation: "Attention drivers;are you tired of driving sub grade equipment?.
    Then come on down;to Swift Transportation.
    That's right;at Swift,we are looking for the best parking truck drivers out there.
    Now if you back into a spot;but only take up one space,then we don't want to talk to you.
    But if you can back up and take up 5,6,or 7 spots;at your local Petro,Flying J,or TA,then Swift has a shiny white Volvo with your name on it.
    So give Swift a call;at 1-800 See What I Fucked Up Today".

    I see you entering at 15W heading up to Vince Lombardi Rest Area. The NJ state troopers refer to the rest area as 13S. The troopers can care less about the truckers sleeping on the shoulders of the service area ramps. It's the Turnpike Authority that will not allow it nor allow abandoned vehicles along the shoulders of the entire length of the Pike due to hazardous conditions they cause. Unfortunately, some drivers use the shoulders as open lanes, sleepy drivers drift, and tend to crash into them while on the shoulders.

What a nightmare that was. I use to run containers into New Jersey 2 to 3 times a week out of Tabernacle Town, better know as Montreal. When I seen the signs for 1-9 in your video it brought some memories for sure. Great video FSC. Have a great and a safe day, happy trails.

    I'm not a trucker. The politicians, police, and DOTs better get their acts together. The news is full of stories about the supply chain being strained or broken. Trains move a lot of freight, but so do trucks, and it's trucks that deliver it. The Fed bureaucrats made the rules about hours and e-logs without consideration of availabilty of parking. The police and DOTs to often rigorously enforce the rules and behave as if truckers are their sworn enemy. It's consumers who end up paying for all the tickets and fines, and prices are getting out of hand. Truckers are caught between rocks and hard places - drive in the hours given to them even if tired - or try and find a place to park and lose income - or stop in a convenient place when hours are up and get ticketed. Those trucks being ticketed in NJ were in nobody's way and that was pure chickenshit. Also got to wonder how much time truckers lose (and consumers pay for) looking for parking or being subjected to DOT inspections.

    The problem is if your on the turnpike, you have local drivers the live in the area using the parking area as a private parking lot, they park their trucks and have someone pick them up leaving the truck there until they come back.

    That strip club is called "Satin Dolls" on Route 17 south, Lodi, N.J. It's the same club in the HBO series Soprano's. They called it "Bada Bing" in the show. James Gandolfini (RIP) played Tony Soprano and actually grew up in Park Ridge, N.J. not far from the strip club. The town of Park Ridge, N.J. named a street after him.

    Besides infrastructure, like build it & walk away, they have it all figured out, like where to put you guys or where to have truck stops. Up in mass, we have one where congrats, you made it to beverly. On 128, you got like 5 or 10 miles till 128 is a dirt road or turn around. Very important in an area where trucks will have a quick turnaround & kick in the ass to leave. Can think of areas before that'd be handier🤷‍♂️

    I've been trucking for 36 years and I'm still out here trucking and there has been a mortally serious lack of truck parking all over America (except Alabama) since the U S Government allowed everyone from all over the world whose feet could reach the pedals to come to America and attempt to function as professional truck drivers!
    There are more than 45% more trucks on the road than there were in the 1980s and almost none of that money is being used to build truck parking to accommodate the huge influx of foreign drivers.
    The extra tax dollars of every imaginable kind are just going into politician's pockets!

      @jericho1-4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The issue is all the sub systems that will draw the battery down on the apparatus, the heavy equipment your talking about can carry a lot more battery cells than a standard fire fighting apparatus can, so its either sacrifice critical systems like external lighting pumping power or water tank size and equipment to accommodate more batteries or stick with what works for now till the tech advances a little more. Bare in mind fire apparatus are on average on scene of a fire for a minimum of five hours for a moderate structural fire, for a wildfire it can be weeks so recharging becomes an issue as well.

      @@Itmakesyouthink As a specialist in the critical disaster/mutual aid response services I still don't see this idea working. even with a small diesel engine as a redundant operations system. I had this argument with a proponent of the all EV mandate, they literally said if a city bus can do it so to can a fire engine. What they fail to realize is they are two different vehicles doing two entirely different tasks. EV's have their uses just not in first responder services or the vast majority of commercial Transport in my opinion until the tech goes aways farther to meet the needs of the industries.

    Every time I go past a Jersey weigh station I wonder why trucks can’t park there. Especially at night when they are closed. Makes no sense as even when they are open there’s tons of room for truckers to park. Put in some portapotties Only in Jersey do we complain that there is shortages due to not enough trucks and then give the existing trucks issues. I only wish for the day that people walk into a voting booth and realize we need to keep trying new leaders until they work for us and not themselves.
