Ive done this job since 95 and changing tires isnt so bad.Just do it right and safely...one thing I didnt see on that truck was a tire cage to air the tires up in.I dont worry about new steers like I do the recaps.A tire can kill or hurt you bad airing it up to 110 psi.Good video..Keep on trucking.
Chicago Pneumatic Tools I used to work for here in Aberdeen Scotland, making all kinds of air wrenches and air guns so when you picked his one up and looked at it, wow did it bring back memories as we used to pack them babies 200 per pallet. Cheers John.
That tire guy sold me when he brought out the torque wrench. That is the way to get em tight so the dirt isn't holding them on. You found a good tire outfit with nice first class equipment.
Tire man is a classy dude, he uses a torque wrench and a safety Jack stand. So much for the truck driver doing his daily walk around according to your CDL regulations. You didn’t know you had all those loose lug nuts.
I have been watching your videos for the last 2 years and with watching them you really have expired me of going to get my AZ I actually go for my AZ in a couple of weeks up here in Canada
Awesome video JBG. It's a good thing you noticed the flat tire before you got on the highway and something bad happened I watch your videos everyday big fan
I do this same job, future advice, next time drop the trailer, I personally won’t even touch a tractor tire unless they disconnect for me when I ask. That can be a lot of weight on the jack. Secondly, we don’t like when drivers watch our every movement, and especially touch our stuff like you just freely helped yourself to.

Guys who hardly do any physical work are the one's who get sore backs later in life. This guy's back will be fine as long as he moves properly. Works smart. Eats right & gets 7-8 hrs rest/sleep to re coop. He has his. 10 yrs in on the job so I guess he gets the day shift. Starting out guys get the night shift. Imagine changing tires in minus 25 or heavy rains or at night.
if this happens to you in germany (with a car) they cant fix it on the road. a towing car has to come to bring you to a tire shop or mecanic.hes doing it on a truck :) amazing job
Cowboy fitter. Finds loose wheel nuts and doesn't even so much as look at a wire brush to clean the mating surfaces to prevent the nuts coming loose again
From 14:25 The camerawoman is so much in control that after getting an extension it gets really exciting when not only the truck and fitter but whole earth moves under her (I am talking about the lorry!)
Great video of a professional at work. Thanks for zooming in on the tools. Would have liked to have had a close up of the torque wrench. Would have liked to have seen all the other lug nuts on all wheel sets on the tractor and trailer checked. You guys take on a lot of risk and responsibility for what you’re paid. Much respect!
This dude did a nice quick job (… but he's been doing it for 10 years so no surprise he did a nice quick job...) Gotta be a BEAR in the winter with a parking lot full of snow.
I would've asked him to check all the other lugs before he put the torque wrench away, but maybe you did after you stopped the clip. I drove around with a busted wheel stud on my Mack and didn't know it for Lord knows how long. Peace.
Yeah this guy is legit. One time I needed a tire changed and the guy showed up with his hands basically. Took 2 hours. I still tipped him a 20 I was on the clock I didn't mind 😂
Good video I didn't see no wheel chocks even though the truck has brakes on supposed to check the wheels and if you find lugs that loose you should check the rest of them For safety and that I miss the part where he put air in the tire and also TA and Petros have road service
Same in my job here in kuwait..but my car is boom truck mercedez...and i open business in phil like this..before im a trailer driver in phil enternational truck..here mercedez reefers in 13 years..and nw my new company tireman driver michanic..all around job..
At my first job at Hughes Aircraft in LA we had a delivery of test equipment in cabinets, about 1000 pounds each. While the truck was backing up to the loading dock I heard some unusual creaking from the back wheel. Then I noticed there were several nuts missing and the wheel was cracked about 1/3 the way around. A few more miles on the freeway and the wheel would have collapsed, possibly causing a major accident on the freeway. After unloading the driver came into the office and called his dispatcher for assistance and got it fixed. That was on Halloween of 1972, we delivered the equipment to the Navy on April Fool's day of 1974. True story.
+Juan Pineda changing tires "fast" is for NASCAR. if given the choice i'd take having it done correct and methodical over FAST and wondering if he did it right.
Yes, he put air in it.. (he has a compressor on his truck.. as it's running his jack, his impact wrench, etc. and you can hear it running.)... if you watch right around 10:40 the "new" tire is leaning against the trailer... the video cuts out, and he is rolling the tire back towards the trailer. Clearly he rolled it over to his truck and aired it up.
Takes anywhere between 6 -10 minutes to air up the tire, depending on if the core is in or out. If the core is out only a couple of minutes. He edited that boring part out. lol
The guy sure knows how to make short work of a truck tire change. I never thought of it before but I didn't see any balancing going on when installing the new tire. I was wondering if that is normal on a truck tire or just because it was a remote tire change. It would seem like with no balancing you would get some pounding.
I grew up in my Dad's tire shop. That old boy has done that almost as many times as I have. I notice you didn't show him seating the bead. Was lighter fluid involved? I kid! I kid.
@@roversnolan1 I drove CDL trucks on and off for 30 years. On road / off road . Semi / six wheelers , straight trucks . In all my years of having flats changed I never saw a torque wrench put to tire EVER. I’ve been in more than my share of big truck tire and repair shops in my life lol. Torque wrench’s came to be when everyone started running aluminum rims. It’s the only reason they use use torque wrench’s on rims actually. These young mechanics use torque wrench’s because they were trained to do it. That’s fine, I understand completely. But what I’m telling you is in 30 years of driving CDL trucks I NEVER saw a torque wrench used on a flat , on the side of the road or in a tire shop and trust me when I tell you , I’ve had more than a few flats on CDL vehicles
@@rickjohnson1632 they've been around well before aluminum rims were used. And most tire shops Ive been to do not use a torque wrench, which they should be. It isn't just to prevent damaging the rim, it's to make sure the lug nut is providing proper clamping force against the rim. If you hammer down with an impact and stretch those threads, you would provide less clamping force than if you tightened them by hand with the lug wrench..... And it's a real pain in the ass when you're out replacing wheel studs in single digits and chasing your hard hat in the wind because the last guy thought you cranked them til they stopped with a 1" impact.
Not all wheel/lug combinations work the same way. Some truck hubs have left and right hand threads.

JBG TRAVELS it's the arm coming off the steering box that steers the truck if it comes off you are screwed. Learnt this the hard way was in the icu for ten days after my pitman arm come off.
I know he didn’t use the air cage he has sitting in his truck that’s why you cut it out, and he torqued the tire while it was still in the air. Then he asked if you wanted the valve changed ALWAYS change the valve

A pro at work. A man can do anything as long as he has the proper knowledge and tools.
After 10 years he makes breaking tires look easy. He's got it down.

The cage is mounting that wheel to the vehicle, rim can't fly away when shes bolted to it.
Excellent no nonsense work by this young man.. God bless him..
It was nice to see him do his profession.. He doesn't waste very many steps while doing his job.. Thanks for posting this video..

5 stars for tire guy. Especially with Johnny breathing down his neck. Good vid .
I always put the landing gear down for drives and pull out from under the trailer to protect the tire guy less weight on the jack
That tire guy sold me when he brought out the torque wrench. That is the way to get em tight so the dirt isn't holding them on. You found a good tire outfit with nice first class equipment.
That's a big ass torque wrench.
It's a requirement in new Zealand to use a tourqe rench if the wheel comes of and you didn't tourqe it. You can be locked up
Also looked like he put some goo on the threads first goo as in thread locker..That torque bar was cool to see though.
Just 10w30 like it's supposed to be. Mark E.
Quite the torque wrench too. The way those lug nuts were loose I would have probably went around and check them all just for my own peace of mind.
Sir JBG !!! GOOOOOD Video !!!! Goes to show what the drivers have to put up with on the road !!! Not always glamorous driving !!!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!
Always good to see someone work, that like their job; and came out to help. Gal.6:10.
Damn you blew up this year from 30k to almost 80k in less than a year ,good job
Tire man is a classy dude, he uses a torque wrench and a safety Jack stand. So much for the truck driver doing his daily walk around according to your CDL regulations. You didn’t know you had all those loose lug nuts.
T FF FF you
I happy you filmed it. But I would have been so annoyed if I was him having someone watch me lol. Great video. He handled it well.
Ey
It used to annoy me just being watched, I wouldn't have done well in this world of everyone filming everything, I'm glad I'm retired.
I had a blow out on the same tire sunday morning! I waited 5 hours for the repair...Take care JBG
Good to see a truck driver not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Reminds me of 50 years ago when I was a tyre fitter but we used split rim wheels and a cage!
I have been watching your videos for the last 2 years and with watching them you really have expired me of going to get my AZ I actually go for my AZ in a couple of weeks up here in Canada
Not that i hope you ever break down but i love these videos... I like the one where you had your entire hub replaced
gee what a difference the right tools make!!!!!
good job, that's the way you do it, torque the wheels. time to cut some highway .thank you john. sam
Tire guy is nr 1!
10 years, wow that guy is a real Pro !!!
Awesome video JBG. It's a good thing you noticed the flat tire before you got on the highway and something bad happened I watch your videos everyday big fan
Better watch it John Larry is catching up with you on viewers be safe on your travels John
Thank you for driving 5 years ago! 🐶🐶
That guy really changed that tire fast. I could think of a few more ways to automate his work truck. Fun video
Very hard working man.good job
Must like what he does to change tires for Ten years. Wow!
And, the experience of 10 years shows in his work, efficiency.

dude your awesome im from England im not a trucker but i love you videos

I didn’t notice, but when was the wheel pumped up? Was it pumped at all?
Yes I noticed too. No air
Be replacing that tire in 50 miles or less. Lol.
Thinking about starting my own mobile tire repair business. I can change a tire pretty dang quick and enjoy doing it too.
If you haven’t done it yet . I suggest you do .
38,000 followers in january, 67,000 in august. Nice job!

That guy did a great job and fast..
You mean to tell me that he got no tip???
You have no idea if he got on or not, and that's not the point..
Someone who did a fast outstanding job, then yes, they deserve a tip. But I'm sure John's boss is to cheap to cover the tip. So I don't blame John.

you did great, how much is this rescue kit
Had a friend did this for a living.He had some hug arm.but his back hurt from lifting those tires
Does the truck self fill up air to the tire.,?!. Because he did not fill up the air to the tire.
I'm sure that repairman was glad you were on nice dry pavement instead of mud!
Awesome video ever 😍 continue to make more videos like this one
I must have missed it, but did he put air in that inner tire. Or is it hooked up to the truck's compresser.
Yes, he put air in it.. (he has a compressor on his truck.. as it's running his jack, his impact wrench, etc. and you can hear it running.)... if you watch right around 10:40 the "new" tire is leaning against the trailer... the video cuts out, and he is rolling the tire back towards the trailer. Clearly he rolled it over to his truck and aired it up.
I was going to ask the same thing, but I went back to the 10:40 mark and saw the edit.
He didn't use the safety cage to inflate, ever seen a bug rig tire explode?
Takes anywhere between 6 -10 minutes to air up the tire, depending on if the core is in or out. If the core is out only a couple of minutes. He edited that boring part out. lol
He didn't use a cage most likely and asked him to edit that part out. Tire inflation blowouts are something to be feared. TH-cam it.
did he air up the tire. didnt see that for some reason
He is going to break down the tire that is flat to mount the new tire and swap it out.
This guy looks like he knows what he is doing
The guy sure knows how to make short work of a truck tire change. I never thought of it before but I didn't see any balancing going on when installing the new tire.

love these videos man
Did you give this guy a tip
lol@
I am very nice friend I am Indian tyre technician super bro 👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🙋♂️🌹
I have done this many times Watching this iam glad that i am retired
Always wondered how the inner rim came off on a truck.
Not all wheel/lug combinations work the same way. Some truck hubs have left and right hand threads. You install the wheel closest to the drum using the left hand lug nut, then the outer portion of the lug nut becomes the bearing surface for the outer wheel and it's lug nuts.
Check out hub pilot verses stud pilot wheels and lug fastening systems.
Gunga Dinn that’s not the way budd style lug nuts work. If the inner was left hand thread and the outer was right hand thread, when you tightened the outer it would loosen the inner. The studs on the left side of the truck are left hand and the right side has normal threads. The newer style studs only have one set of lug nuts, all right hand thread.
Keep a torque wrench in your truck checking the lugs should be part of your pretrip that and the pitman arm.
That’s actually a cool idea thank you for the suggestion but what is the pit arm?
JBG TRAVELS it's the arm coming off the steering box that steers the truck if it comes off you are screwed. Learnt this the hard way was in the icu for ten days after my pitman arm come off.
Pilot Flying J Truck Care should be paying you for this video. LOL.
Max Zomboni he's doing a fine job advertising isn't he hahaha
Service guys hate those service trucks in the summer cause of the heat in the box
We want to see him do his job. Don't disturb him please.
Brings back memories.
These guys earned there money
I never saw him blowing the tire up,
It's aired up... he just probably didn't use the safety cage so he told JBG to take that part out of the video, lol.
@@warjec lol....i was thinking the same thing.....
He just lifted those tires like it was nothing . I guess 10 yrs he knows what he is doing
Great video be safe Johnny be good
Fleet Truck Sales means Werner Enterprises?
How come you did not detach the Trailer seeing you had the Space?
wonders why iv just got this as a notification when i'm not subscribed
Great video.....bu when’s the new tractor coming?? Lol
I know he didn’t use the air cage he has sitting in his truck that’s why you cut it out, and he torqued the tire while it was still in the air. Then he asked if you wanted the valve changed ALWAYS change the valve
He actually used a jack stand👍🏽
when did he put air in the tire
One of the two should have said something about going around and check in the rest of the lug nuts if those were loose like that.
