The big boyz with the big toyz! Is the X15 Cummins under there? Love that toolbox Lenny! That is a beautiful set up no doubt. Cameras and everything! Nice...real nice! You definitely got the goods to git'er done! Thanks for sharing your rig with us Lenny. See you with your next load Nick. Yall stay safe and keep on truck'n!👍
Y'all will actually see him again this week. Running a pair of 98,000lb crane tracks out to Texas with him.
I have been running Tri- drives for several years with no problem. Pretty handy in a muddy delivery too.
I’m a Big Fan of Tri-Drives. The More Brakes The Better! The More Tires in The Mud, The Better!
What do Most States Give You Weight Wise on that Quint Trailer Setup? I know that A Lot of Oilfield Trailers run a Quint Style Setup on the Main Trailer. Some Times it’s just a 5 Axle Main Trailer Setup, or a 5+2 Booster Setup, or a 3+5+2 Jeep, Trailer & Booster Setup.
Just, thought I’d say also, I was a Big Fan of Your Channel as well Joe!
@@taylor11089 well I have a 2021. Western Star 4900 Tri drive for sale. It’s a 600 DD-16 heavy 18 speed. 330” wheelbase. In answer to your question I do heavy haul under special permits. Most state will allow 20,000#s per axle.
@@MrDirtywindow Joe is it Listed For-Sale on Truckpaper at all? I’m curious what it looks like and the Specs on it, such as Set Forward or Set Back Axle, Rear End Gear Ratio, ETC. In my Opinion, The Best Built Trucks are Kenworth & Western Stars. I’ve got some “Special/Unique Specs” that I have been “playing around with in my mind”, since that is all I think about is “doing things different, or doing them better for my advantage/situation”. That’s why I was always a Fan of your 4 & 5 Axle Flatbed Concept, especially in the “Trucking Markets” that you were using them in.
I wasn’t sure what Most States would Permit you on a Quint, don’t have Any Experience (yet) with a “5 in a Row” Quint Axle Setup. I wasn’t sure if Most Every State would give you #100,000, Permitted of Course. The reason that I ask is because I know that Some States such as Pennsylvania & Texas will only give you #72,000 on a Quad Axle Setup. I live in IL, just across the River from St. Louis MO. IL will give #25,000 a Axle (#100,000 on a Quad), No Problem. MO will give #22,000 depending on the Setup. But you know all of this.
Great video, well speckled unit.
Black beauty🐎
Wow, that Pete is fully equpied with all the bells and whistles. All shined up and clean. Ready for a truck show it seem. Heavy duty pete, great set up and the Rear 3 axles looks spaced out even the weight it look like. I like the tool box behind the sleeper. Look very different from the other headache rack tool box that many have. Well, I'm not an high expert on the truck but its a indeed a work horse and it will get any job done. And can't for get the 5 axle flatbed trailer.
It's a hell of a set up for sure.
A lot you said in the video of the Pete, their is a lot of thought on what to put in to the truck. It can take like few months before you can get the idea ball rolling before it can be built. Once its built it like your master piece coming to life.
Hi Guys....Great truck....Makes driving the road a lot easier...Safe safe !!!!!
Thanks!
As soon as the video started I noticed chrome rear fenders. Thought they would look sharp on your truck until I saw they where on a Pete. Then I thought you bought a new truck. Great video and beautiful truck great set up.
Lol. Yep, have to keep y'all on your toes.
Love the video you Guys are Awesome , keep it between the ditches .......Happy Trails
Thanks for watching!
Very cool build. The tri drive is a good consideration for those wanting to serve Canada as well. It wouldn't be astray for Australia as well but for the left hand drive. Cheers!
Has got to be strange leaving someone else drive your baby, even Nick who is a pro. I'll say one thing, is a beautiful truck set up to haul just about everything. I know up in Canada and some parts of Michigan they can run 9 axle trailers legally, I see logging trucks and chip vans are all 9 axle trailers. As it is, Ken has a crap load of tires to keep working on that thing, not to mention feeding a 500 hp motor
Thanks for the video Nick, and thanks to Ken for sharing his truck with us!
It was strange driving someone else large car, but it was a cool experience. Had a good time.
Goes to show how much integrity you have, that another Pro like Ken, would trust you driving his tricked out tractor. I can imagine the change in routine and to drive a different truck was fun.
That truck is a beauty, nice job Lenny. Hope she make you lots of money.
That's a cool toolbox idea. Never saw that before. Good looking truck too!
I really love the tri-drives!!
so glad you still have the battleship
Roman Planter lol yea, buddy. The Battleship isn't going anywhere. 😊
Nice truck. Love the cameras setup. These days you need them and not just for TH-cam.
that's a neat truck setup. I've seen tridrives before wasn't sure if anyone runs them any more. I like the tool boxes too. I'm a short guy. that gives me more ideas. thanks for showing that truck.
only thing missing about the truck is it needs a bull bar on it , but that is a gorgeous truck!
Doubt we'll ever see one on the front of that truck...don't think that's really his style! Thanks for watching!
Amazing truck nick lmao i even though that u was gonna switch makes but nu didn't lol that truck is something else badass truck and really good video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi nick. i'm not going to ask a bunch of lame questions, just wish to say that your rig is outstanding!....and I know how much of a responsibility it is to take care of!......happy trails and safe rides......chill
Thank you!!
Great video Nick, I passed this truck (or 1 just like it) Saturday afternoon on I75 N... south of ATL. I thought it was your truck until I counted 5 axles on trailer. Beautiful truck!!!!
Fantastic job guys.
Thank YOU! Couldn't do it without the leg work y'all put in behind the scenes!
Nice ride. Thanks for the vid Nick
Thanks!
Very nice truck Nick. Keep the great videos coming.
thanx for replying so quickly .Really enjoy your channel and thank you for your service.
Not a problem and serving was my pleasure.
Love your videos Nick! Wish you lifted the hood. Disc brakes? Artic wrapped fuel lines? how many batteries? Premium sound system? Extra insulation package? Engine HP. and Torque? Keep those videos coming Buddy!
It does have disk brakes, as far as the rest, I really don't know lol.
Stay out of my freight area! :P Can't wait to see what you drag out of galveston.
Haha, hey man, we're hoes! We just go where the money is!!
Nick...you are getting so much better with videos..bravo
Thanks!
Congrats on 50 videos Nick, keep up the good work man.
Thanks! Kinda crazy, but here's to 50 more by years end! Lol.
It feels more than 50 LOL
Great vid as always
Mann I love both of y'all trucks
Lol thank you. We do what we can to please the people ;)
thank you just waiting for my opportunity to get into heavy haul I been watching all your videos and everybody else in the crew plus other guys that pull heavy equipment or heavy items
Love it
I liked he got a three view camera system. What maker and model(s) of camera system is it and does it ? As it was pretty brief view and could not tell if it was Falcon Electronics and no mention it records for in case of accident/incident. As I told you under my other sn/un, you should invest in a multi-camera system, especially one with a recording system even if you have to make a phone call to retrieve said footage, unless you makeshift your own recording system.
Lenny is smart to spec out his truck the way he did with camera system even if aftermarket. Mount that rear camera high for best view so as not to be obstructed by the equipment/tool box.
NICE truck!
Wow very nice!!!
Great video Nick lots of info thank you
Thanks!
Beautiful truck, Nice tool box.
Thanks.
here just about all trucks sold are custom ordered. a part from a few demo trucks sold. dealers dont have new trucks ready to be sold. few years back it could take a year from order to delivery. 3-6 months are normal now.
hope they atert to offer 20.000 air ride front axles over there soon. steel ride for over the road use is really outdatet hehe.
but thats a really beatiful truck :) must be some parts of Canada then?. sergei runs a lift axle on his Mack and think he can max it out.
Idk about 20k air ride axles, but my last truck had an air ride front axle...it was pretty nice.
Sergi runs in eastern canada. That province is basically the United States with weird signs. The western provinces, where a majority of the mining industry is, is where you run into problems with the lift axles.
nice work you two, loved the montage....
Thank you.
Man I'd love to see that beauty hooked to the stretch with the jeep and extra goodies. Does he have a TH-cam or anything?
Somebody's got some new fenders
not a big peterbilt guy, but that's a gorgeous truck.
Fred the terrible mechanic I agree I'm not a fan of Peterbilt but that is a beautiful truck👍
It really is a nice rig.
Nick take ur face for a shit man!!!!
What do Most States Give You Weight Wise on that Quint Setup? I know that A Lot of Oilfield Trailers run a Quint Style Setup on the Main Trailer. Some Times it’s just a 5 Axle Main Trailer Setup, or a 5+2 Setup, or a 3+5+2 Setup.
I was a Big Fan of Both of Your Channels!
Ahh yes, my old stomping grounds again... Schenectady to GE to drop the load and then to fulton ... Looks like the weather has gotten better..
Great video. Need more
If lift axles are not legal in Canada, HOW COME Sergi Dratchev "Heavy haul TV" has been using a Mack with 2nd axle being a lift axle, 3 & 4 powered, has no problems hauling a Fontaine low boy (Float) hauling construction equipment between US and Canada.. ? The Mack was bought in Canada, but delivery was at Mack factory in USA..
There are provinces in Canada that do not allow lift axles. Those are the ones I am speaking of, and those are the ones we were concerned with.
Yes, nothing in Canada is standardized at all. Lift Axles are a big issue province to province, same with Super Singles, Wheelbase Lengths and Tag Axles.
very nice truck. nice video.
Thanks!
My first thought was - the crane is ready on time, that's a first. Turns out it was merely editing. Fucking crane guys
1: Nick could you please start making more videos lol
2: I think you should consider getting a big ken worth t800..... them jokers pull a lot even though they're more expensive but buddy has told me that they're great for super heavy haul and he also recommended at self steer pusher axle
its gotta be funny on some of those deliveries, cause you really notice the disconnect between the person that wrote the check and the person that has to get it off the trailer... they load it soo quick n easy they already have the big equipment at the port or the factory of the item, but the delivery? they just tryin to use what they got and hope it'll lift it, and if it don't? welp, u might have to hang tight while we call around
Lol, yeah. A lot of the times I think the customer doesn't really know what they bought. I've seen the look on their faces when we show up and they're like...yeah, that's not what we were expecting.
Hi Nick,What a beautiful looking truck.I wonder if a third drive axle is worth the increased maintenance and fuel economy.I watch a heavy hauler on youtube based out of Montreal and his third axle is a lift and he carries super big loads.Do you think with that drive axle like it is, it would be a bear to turn on wet roads or snow?As usual thank you for your time in making this video and please be safe..
Money makin truck right there!
That's a jacket from not too far from me!
Bala, Muskoka?
Nice touch
is there a axle on the tri that normally provide the drive or do they spread load equal between the 3?
What a gorgeous truck! Thanks for the tour. And forgive my ignorance but why do his steer tires look like that? Not sure how to describe it but they don't look like how steers normally are.
They're 315's. Bigger than normal steers, with an aggressive pattern to help turn a lot of weight in dirt / mud etc.
Nice, they look sick.
50Th ! Congrats !!!!! Cool Peterbilt !!!!
Guess I should watch the whole video before commenting huh?
I see lots of truck here in Canada with 3 drive axles with 1 lift, I dont think its "not recognized" here, at least not in Ontario. I only drive in Ontario so it could be different in other provinces.
Nice truck Leny
Great vid and nice truck. Here's a question that may start a sh*t storm...but why Cummins?
I look forward to some of the nasty comments I may get for asking...
What other motor would he get ? Cummins is the only 15 liter motor you can get in a peterbilt since cat quit in 2011. He said 600 hp so that would be 2050 torq. Detroit is frightliner and western Star only . The only other motor you can get in peterbilt is the paccar oem mx13 , which is a 13 liter motor 505 hp and 1850 torque is the max out of that.
Jon pretty much nailed that response. When you're not building a glider, you only have a couple options. Also, that Cummins is a beast. Don't let the forums fool you, it's a hell of a working motor.
Nice truck impressive with the tri axle how is it for turning any issues esp in tight spots...
Since yours is Battleship, a good one for his would be Mighty Mo lol.
I'll add it to the suggestion list for him.
Nick, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts in more depth on the camera system. I have a theory that we'll eventually find getting views not possible with mirrors to be superior. The camera has a much better field of view. Is his right side camera set up to be useful for blindside backing? Since you own your trailers, it would be interesting to know the usefulness of putting a wireless camera at the back, at least for backing in tight quarters.
To be honest with you, I never looked at that camera system. It was interesting to have up there, but I'm so used to working with mirrors, that I forgot the cameras were even there. I can see some instances where it may be beneficial to have wireless cameras on the trailer, but at the end of the day, nothing goes further than teaching someone how to drive well, without technology.
Happy 50th! Nick, isn't there a COE running with you sometimes?
hey, I recognize that building!
✋👍👍👍
Just wondering, There’s a heavy haul out fit here in Las Vegas, they use to run all Peterbilts, but Peterbilt stopped giving them a warranty due to hauling heavy equipment, even though they spec’d the truck with heavy spec’s
Have you any issue with warranty?
We don't have a warranty on the truck. Just a good mechanic.
Black Betty! Whats the dash cam called? Looks like I might have to make an investment other than my go pro now!
Nice!!!!
Very interesting equipment! My complements!
Do you have steering axles on the flatbed?
Is it possible? Doesn't it handle the flatbed beter in small places?
I think it's odd that the front axle of the three doesn't lift. Idk why it just seems weird to me.
Nice rig.
Thanks.
Also, what camera system is that and does it record or just show a static view for maneuvering?
Interesting story, but why do you guys have ties on
I used to haul heavy equipment 2 yrs ago but lost my cdl. im getting it back in september though. I want to get back to hauling asap. im looking a kw w900l w a 140" sleeper, but I dont know if I want to pull a rgn again or a flatbed like you or joe.
I suppose that it depends on what kind of stuff you want to move. Each trailer type serves it's own purpose, and each has it's own niche.
Black Beauty that's a good name
Or.. Black Beast
That's what I though too. Just a beautiful rig!!!
king kong 😃
How about "Dirty Pete" for a name! 😃
👍👍👍
Thanks!
no problem!!!
Should did! I wasn't expecting that!
Nick, how does he lock the axles, air or electric? And, can each be locked individually or did all three lock and unlock simultaneously?
THANK you
They're air locked, and they can all 3 be locked independently of each other.
Dr. Mark in Texas Thanks for the reply. I can't imagine with chains on locked 3 axles 😀 WOW.
What's your criteria on when to shell out the cash for a new truck? In my family, it's usually when monthly repair costs = payment, the old one goes away.
do you know what the spacings are on the Tri drive, they kinda looked bigger than normal? Which if they are i assume that way he can get the extra weight while in CAN.
Grant Eberly, Looked like 60" spacing versus 49".
Actually, I think they're like 55" spacings, so yeah, larger than normal, but not quite the 60's.
how many years of flatbed experience does landstar require to lease on to them?
Lanstar, I think, requires 1 year of verifiable OTR experience. Your best bet would be to contact a recruiter though. Their requirements may have changed. It was different when I signed on.
Are you still doing videos? I only see older ones.
Nick, I am a retired Navy man, just getting into trucking. Got my CDL 6 weeks ago and going to work for 1st company next week. Do you mainly do Flat bed, oversized and overweight loads? Is that alot better money, and something you recommend getting into eventually? I use to own my own Mobile Home transport & tie down company. So am familiar with over sized, weight and length permit pulling and I have my Pilot Escort Lisc. Just about to go drive for my first company though, so trying to figure out what Lane I want to go. Thanks. Wild Bill
I would absolutely recommend it, if you can. You obviously will have to do some time under normal freight, but it never hurts to have future goals. Of course with the higher operating costs of doing this stuff, we demand higher rates. I won't get into how much higher, but trust me, it's worth it if you're smart ;)
Without the lift axle, does that wear hard on his tires ?
michael newcomb you mean weight wise? Hell yes. You'd be overweight on your drives.
Been watching your videos they are so awesome. Can you tell me if your friend have a TH-cam channel?
Call it "Slangin", slangin all kinds of trailers
Well shit Pete
Nick, is it hard on the third axle on the tractor when turning, especially not being able to lift it? Thanks and you and your dad please be safe out there.. Mike
It's the Fabulous Fontaine!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!
where did y'all get the toolbox? exactly the kind of box I have wanting to build.
He modified 3 trailer toolboxes and had it mounted at a shop near him. You're looking at a traditional inbetween the spread flatbed box, turned sideways.
that's kinda what I figured. Have a project for next time I get home.
Call it "Bubba". haha
I'll add it to the list.
Nick did you order your truck or was it a stock truck? I was watching one of your old videos & couldn't believe you've got a 12k or 13,200 front end. Are you considering spec'ing one in the future? 20k front with a 20k lift & 46k rears with lockers and 3.91's would really be ideal for a good all around heavy haul truck
It was a stock truck. Really, even the 13,200lbs axle is over kill. We simply can't transfer weight that far forward with our long wheelbase. 20k would just be a waste of money for us. We don't have any plans to build / buy a new truck anytime soon. This one has plenty of life left in it, and works like a champ!
What is the name of the camera system? very nice set up.
It's kinda a bastard system. Cameras came off Amazon, but he changed a few things here and there with his own parts that'd work better for him.
Very nice rig, you like the headache rack?
I actually love it. Might consider something like that on The Battleship, but ours would take some work. We'd have to get smaller fuel tanks to make a setup like that work.
So do you, the company, own the specialized trailers or is it a collective coop where everyone thats involved threw in some money to buy the trailers? I almost asked if Landstar owned the trailers but then I realized that would be silly of them to buy all that heavy haul equipment
Joe Donovan (has a youtube channel) is the one who owns all the trailers you'll see us pull...for now. He knows he'll never get the 4 axle Ravens back from us without a fight ;)
Hold still Nick☻
I know! Blame Best Buy. I went to buy a GoPro stabilizer from them, and they didn't have any in stock. Sorry! I do the best I can lol.
What size is that sleeper
Would love to know where Lenny had the tool box made. Any way I can contact him?
I was wondering if you guys own the trucks and lease to landstar or if landstar own them and uou just drive them?
See him setting on 11ax yesterday and today in Little America WY
Yessir, believe he told me that you said Hi. He's still not used to being recognized lol.
Sergei Dratchev Heavy Haul Trucking out of Canada runs a lift axle on his KW. Check out his TH-cam channel.
