SHIFTING GEARS

[oiljerk]

I haul 12200 gallons of gasoline...I weigh in at a little over 105,000lbs..that Jake is a life saver on some of the hills I see lol...Great vid..keep them coming!!!

[lockmachin]

what is the biggest loads you blokes pull over in the USA

[westernstar4964]

Sounding really nice my friend. Keep up the good work.

[TATTOOED4INK]

can i ask why you jake it right down to the end? you was almost stoped and you still used the jake? the most i pull is 45,000lbs and i dont need the jake at such slow speed to stop. or was you just playing with the jake lol

[straitpipejakebrake]

45,000, that's it? Gotta dodge those scales man! However, nobody needs engine brake...some of our Ryder "specials" don't even have them and we pull close to 50,000! Jake brake is an awsome sound though...I love it.

[Squirlee]

They are making a vid where sound is important :) Using the Jake properly can save an owner some money in brake jobs - I pull 138,000lbs and dont have a jake.

[wickedtrucker]

I was just goofin off with the jake!

[TATTOOED4INK]

our trucks are only good for 52,000lbs but they load us 80% of the time with almost 60,000lbs. its all LTL freight. and only have to pass 1 scale. just a day cab truck. but that was my old night run. ive just been switched to days doing the local deleverys. and love it. reson. lots of hot chicks at the places i goto lol

[drumPRO]

yeah

I'm really hoping you make somre more vids

Your rig sounds amazing

The videos are great

hope to see more up soon

[wickedtrucker]

It has baffles not mufflers. and they are 4 inch.

[zgl92]

[wickedtrucker]

Thanks!

[HYPHYDUM408]

omg omg music to my ears, love the sound of the jake, can listen to it all day, were you floating gears or where u actually downshifting using the clutch?

[wickedtrucker]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it. I actually dont use te clutch only for stoppin and starting. as for the downshiftin its harder for me to use the clutch so as I said just stop n go!

[HYPHYDUM408]

10-4 haha, like i said , nice vid, that shit was tight!

[dowahdiddyman]

$4.00 A gallon, over here in the uk it`s nearer to $9.00 Rig sounds sweet, we are so restricted now as to what we can do over here because of the tree-hugger brigades.Even have to use an addative(a combination of chemicals and sheep piss) now that turns the exhaust gasses into water.

[peterbiltexd]

hey you ever gonna put some larger pipes on it it would look even more beasty than it already is:)

[wickedtrucker]

Not anytime soon with fuel over $4.00 a gallon hahahahaha!

Awesome video. Captured that sound just perfect. Makes me feel like I'm at work...

[HCFIREMAN]

[wickedtrucker]

thanks dude! glad ya like it!

[peterbiltexd]

best soundin detroit ever is it a series 60?

[wickedtrucker]

yea belive it or not 965k miles and no need to rebuild it just yet!

[chevyduramax02]

that's realy good usually 500,000 for a cummins

[couragio235]

Jake brakes are 'NOT ALLOWED' in the city ace!!!

[bigstretch100]

F**k'em. I'll use it is necessary.

[sabrefirefighter]

in most towns n cities u can use em just not around nursing homes and hospitals

[bigstretch100]

I'm talking about the ones that have signs posted. I try not to use them much in town anyhow, but if the traffic is heavy the switch is on. Just have to hit the service brakes to turn them on.

[KiloByte69]

Is that with the windows open? I mean it's a cool sound and all but I know that from the outside that very sound can be ear piercing. How bad is it riding in the cab?

[wickedtrucker]

it was with the windows down! my son took the video! its actually not that loud.........

[jmegawatts]

very nice, that looks like an FLD

[s172mch]

nvolen thanks for finally helping me prove there was a coronado

IT DOESNt matter WHAT TRUCK YOU DRIVE IF YOUR AN OWNER OPERTOR!! thats one reason to be one, hence to pick your truck

[NVOLEON]

no problem, I don't know why these people find it hard to believe it.

[silerjd]

wat kind of truck is it?????

[leograss79]

Oh Yes !

[NVOLEON]

not to take anyones side, but i've seen a coronado hauling fedex trailers. i dont know if it was fedex's truck or an owner operator.

[superdoggydogdog]

Yea, S172, your a follower not a one man show...

[geocuneva]

you all need to relax is just some fuckin trucks damn

[s172mch]

dude wats ur deal? ill haul with whoever i want

and yea u dont have to believe me but i did see a coro

a nice one

and i WILL NEVER BUY A USED RIG EVER! its a bad idea

[jmwacker]

love the video, keep 'em commin!

[superdoggydogdog]

Yea, I doubt it... I dont believe u saw a FedEx Coro... And i mean, hul for yourself... not for fedex, so BEAT THAT!

[s172mch]

and i saw a coronado on the road yesterday for fedex ground

BEAT THAT!

[s172mch]

nope thats incorrect

my pa works for fedex ground and it is 100% owner operator enviornment

so i choose which ever truck i want pal

as long as its white and has 57inches of space between the 5th wheel and end of truck

[superdoggydogdog]

lol s172, i mean your own company, starting a company u cant just go out and buy a brand new $155,000 rig... If you join fed, u mainly drive like classics, very few W900's.... NO coro's

[poppy77]

i can hear the throttle blip between downshifts cool. but how come i can hear it on jake brake by ejj237 is it auto on is he so good he can match gears

[s172mch]

hey super dog lol dontt mean to be here but the companys are big that im picking from, plus im only 16 so they might be bigger

im talkin like fedex and dart

so yea

i agree a new w900 is 160k loaded wich i was blasted when i saw that price

the coronados arent bad tho ive seen them in the 120s

btw i will never buy used you never know what people have done to the truck

just my 2 cents

[superdoggydogdog]

S172 dont count on any of those rigs... the coronados are over priced and so are the kw900... you wotn reach that unless your company goes big then you can buy one... a used 379 you might get though... nice 379 you got there driver... sounds like my dads before he sold it...

[vbdenny]

Great video, I especially loved hearing the jake brake.

[NVOLEON]

thats shit sounded bad ass.

[wickedtrucker]

Thanks!!!!!

[6V92TA]

awesome sound!! Boy do i miss hearing that back when i drove wit my Uncle

[wickedtrucker]

yea its one of them sounds ya always love to hear! thanks

[poppy77]

sounds sweet,one of the best only one so far is sweeter and was taken not by the driver but by a passerby. jake brake bye ejj237 its 26 sec.

[s172mch]

man i love ur truck! it sounds amazing! my dad says ill hate driving because he did but im like screw that im doin it no matter wat it pays

its hard to decide on a rig even tho i got a few years! i keep goin from coronado to prostar to w900l to 379exhd to t660 and RRGG lol

[s172mch]

well i plan on living on the road for a few years maybe even my whole life not sure yet but its a 75percent chance ill live in it for many years

[s172mch]

scratch my comment on tips of o/o

i might of found the company i want to work with not sure yet

i am lookin for a truck with at least a 130inch sleeper but not many companys support a 300+ wheelbase

but im lookin at legacy sleepers and bentz transport products sleepers

bentz are alot nicer but these dont run cheap

about 70k for a 150inch sleeper but hopefully i can get a daycab coronado for 100-110k

might be lookin at a 13 or 15 manual

515 detroit

[wickedtrucker]

Damm you wanna roll Long & Hard! The longer wheelbase trucks have alot of limitations. There are bridge laws from the lenght of the wheelbase that you can run into trouble with depending on the kind of freight you haul! Thats why some companies tend to shy away from those LARGE CARS! Starting off I would try something more practical unless you plan on living on the road for months at a time.

[wickedtrucker]

exactly the reason didnt need all them gears! those are more for running out west and hauling heavier type loads.

[s172mch]

why didnt u go for a 18speed? well most dont need iot

[s172mch]

hey could u give me some tips on becomin an owner operator? i will prolly getting a intl prostar limited 18sp auto shift cummins isx 525hp annd 300gal tank capacity and i will be extending the sleeper i think cuz i might be livin in the truck for some time

what company do u work for?

[wickedtrucker]

its a 10 speed

[PRIN86]

Is that a 13 speed your driving? From the shifts that sounds like what it is, I could be wrong.

[s172mch]

nice truck sounds amazing

do u like driving? im gettin my cdl at 18 and becoming an owner operator

[wickedtrucker]

yea love drivin! also o/o is the way to go Ive been an o/o for almost 11 years now!

[peterbilt31]

awesome! what year is that and what type of engine?

[wickedtrucker]

its a 2000 peterbilt 435 detroit

[PRIN86]

Nice video!!!! You defintely have to come with some more. Also is that a freightliner Classic you styling dude? Anyway goo job no music ,just letting the engine sing its own tune. Be safe good buddy

[wickedtrucker]

Thanks for the comment! Its actually a 379 PETER-CAR!

[countryboy157]

[bedaman10]
