Trucking: My first step deck load

[DieHardDarrius]

we use those in Baltimore to clean streets but they never seem to stayy clean long.

[6789089683]

you get paid by% or miles? do you work for maverick?

[ShannonCole888]

those chains don't look big enough for that size of truck..

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@ShannonCole888 Plenty big enough, they are 3/8 chains. 5/16 wouldve held it just fine as well. It was only 21.000 lbs

[tangnatalaga]

great maybe next time you get your first Double Drop Trailer load. Then maybe later gets to haul a million pound machinery with an HLS tralier.

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@tangnatalaga Yea man, I love pulling a double drop. The only thing is, I may have to sit a day waiting on an RGN load though, but it pays better. If I had to choose, I would stay under a step deck all the time.

[DocRevo]

Sweeper going to Baltimore area??? We find it's more cost effective to ship 2 at a time -- oh yeah, that's right, you have to be selling more sweepers to do that!!

[snowboundtruckers]

easiest load ever!! do some real work

[ChatroomCreeper]

@snowboundtruckers Like military loads that are hit or miss that put you right at 80,000 or even more.

[379peterbilt530]

nice truck

[StayingBack71]

Fuck those Port loads............

Lets get to Dundalk at )800 and sit there half a day!

If I evr go to Baltimore......I ONLY pickup or deliver port freight via the sheds off of 695.............

[Rkeely]

WhAt's wrong with a tarp load...I'm no trucker just curious lol

[ge23ll]

keep the videos coming.

[julierey39]

That is a beautiful truck jimmy,wow it is big isn't it. be safe.

[drivergeoff]

what happened to the pete?

[drivergeoff]

@drivergeoff scratch that just watched your last vid lol

[mustangguy6501]

nice jim has to beat tarpin in the rain lol

[JayShawn89]

awesome man keep em coming

[DoonerLivingstone]

I picked one up wednesday at the same location! How'd you like that tight fit there at the loading dock? Could they put any more shit in the way?!

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@DoonerLivingstone Haha, yea it was kinda tight huh? Thanks man

[Shadwell06]

cool, nice easy load, apart from wouldn't be cheaper just to drive the vehicle and a car to drop off point? ok so they got less mileage on the clock, but to run a truck at 10-15 mpg, or that vehicle at about 25-30 mpg. hmm sums don't add up. must be that the person you were delivering to likes paying for style rather than useage!!

[hammerheaddriver]

Truck looks good. Looks like something simple to pull. One street Sweeper on a stepdeck. Love the truck. Have fun bro.

[northerndipper]

[PaleriderTV]

Chaining up that load looks like alot of work. I get tired when I have to get out and close my trailer doors!

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@PaleriderTV Haha, man this was a very easy load, it took all of 15 minutes to chain

[calitrucker1]

Great work mate!!

[crosscountryvideos]

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@crosscountryvideos Thanks Danny

[purrfectpurrz]

I can't begin to say how proud I am of you! Any kind of career change is challenging and you've met that challenge head on with an enthusiastic can-do attitude that is admirable! It's a good career move for you and I think your independent spirit will enjoy the status of O/O, not to mention the freedom of choice, more than what you've had with other companies. *high five*

[bone1050]

thats awesome , great looking truck , if you got some time in the cab i would think a video of a breif overview of how different regulations and rules compared to your old flat bed career work , technical specifications of your truck , what you like and dont like about your current rig , stuff like that i think would be awesome ideas for new videos

[purrfectpurrz]

<3 it! I think this is just too cool for school! I'm glad you get to choose which loads you carry now! Glad this wasn't much different than the usual flatbed loads you're used to! You'll be moving on to bigger and better things...well bigger anyway.....in a week or two!  :)

[akbrown15]

Say hello to Cody for me when you get to Baltimore...  Good stuff!

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@akbrown15 Cody? eww

[MnTrucker1984]

Sweet load! Been in and out of there many times. I bet your heading over to Dundalk port? They got you going to shed 12?

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@MnTrucker1984 Haha, I am sitting outside the gate at Dundalk as I type this, and yes, shed 12....thanks man

[Drake3209]

Your choice of loads... sounds great.

[BigVOLdaddy]

how come no chocks behind the wheels as some sort of extra safety?...not regular chocks ofcourse but looks like they would have some sort of trailer chock rig figured out...just askin...oh, i know, you could put a couple dead eagles under the back wheels...or better yet, one big ass dead red elephant

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@BigVOLdaddy Keith if those chains break, chocks wont help. Shes a goner if those chains break. ....How bout we put a Smokey dog under it? lol

[HoganMo]

@BigRigAuburnTiger WHOA THERE BIG GUY!! No smokey dog under there lol. Just curious about something. Since the sweeper weighed 21k, and your truck is around 35k??? did you bother scaling it?

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@HoganMo No Mike, no need to scale a load that is that much under legal gross

[gameover340]

awesome video

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@gameover340 Thanks 'Cane

[VicGord]

Nice truck Jimmy

[VicGord]

Nice truck Jimmy hows it running for you

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@VicGord So far so good man....thanks

[HoganMo]

Well at least you didn't have to tarp it! lol. Will you keep the step deck for a while? How does that work? You know me, I'm always interested in the nuts and bolts of the job(grins)

[BigRigAuburnTiger]

@HoganMo Yea Mike, I think I will have this step deck for a couple weeks. but then, I may get out from under it tomorrow, you never know. It all depends on what type of freight I will be pulling....thanks Mike
