[Colinda421]

Dude this is the best one...love the jake break

[MsBluebooboo]

Awesome! I love this! This is like being insided the truck! And the mountains, the view, beautiful! This is really great. You have to do more. I grew up hearing that sound...trucks coming off a mountain, loaded with coal, it's unique, to say the least. I think the coal truck drivers from Southeast Ky are the some of the best anywhere in the world. I often heard of coal hauls where dozers had to push the trucks. Thank you for sharing this. May you always be safe. God Bless

Cool Show, thanks for the vid response, if it gets too slow, that hood would look good stretched out in front of a chicken wagon :)

[86LilDunk]

If i wanted to work with your company where would i go in ky

[85daytonaracer]

I am a owner/operator I drive my own truck,coal hauling is extremely slow around our area right now I have several friends that are out of work due to the coal market it's not a good time for coal trucking right now!

[limestonetrucker]

Wish I could drop down that hill that fast. Oh yeah, proves my theory that having to back up in the 6 curve must be a peterbuilt thing. LOL!!!!

[85daytonaracer]

I adjusted the steering stops since then,can make it around there in one swing now.

[Palenka]

[peterbilt266]

@Palenka i bet u cant find a coal bucket in ky that is a volvo
