ATK's Life as a Trucker Part 7 (1 of 2)

[Bretsnjev]

I liked the music of your previous episodes, but the music from this one, I don't like :P

But regardless of the music, your series are interesting to watch. I'm thinking of becoming a trucker too, so I'm watching as much trucker-related-videos as possible

[detroitsbest]

u a bumper driver lol

[BigBoyO56]

fuck toyota

[duh33311]

is this the dealership with the f 650 on it

[TruckerATK]

@duh33311 yeah if your taking about the F650 pickup truck. But we sold it to a guy overseas. I dont think we currently have another in stock. We may. Havent been down there in a few weeks.

[duh33311]

@TruckerATK ok i was just wondering he must have been haooy when he got the truck

[madcat98]

I've always wondered, are there specific tiedown points on the car for those chains, or just any available hole in the chassis?

[bigredi444]

@madcat98 Most cars do have specific tie down points in parts of the frame and such but on these newer cars its almost impossible, the car manufactures don't think of us transporters anymore.

[madcat98]

@bigredi444 I guess that's why you're starting to see more of the other the tire straps. I've never hauled cars, just freight, but I've thought it would be interesting unless the weather is bad.

[bigredi444]

@madcat98 Yeah a lot of newer vehicles do requre wheel straps, i would like to get a few sets of them. Its def a different line of work, because you have to load/unload your own truck and its like a puzzle each time. You have to determine which vehicles will fit where and the height is always changing. In the winter months it can be stressful loading cars on the top, it gets slippery!!

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

always wondered can car-haulers do long haul or only local

[bigredi444]

@countrymusicgtavboy2 They do both, there are lots out there that even run coast to coast.

[zombiesrule1]

These sedans are CRAZY! How do you stop n not ram into them?

[bigredi444]

@zombiesrule1 hahaha sometimes i wanna just push em outta the way lol

[ptrhip]

@bigredi444 go for it im sure they wont be missed on the roads

[journey95]

[aid2003]

[fuddmethen]

[TeddyRCacher]

So are you required to drive the cars onto the truck as well, or does someone in the car lot drive it up?

Unloading?

[bigredi444]

I do all the loading and unloading myself.

[Grassy1990]

@TeddyRCacher you drive the cars on there tie em down or strap em wit straps these guys dnt run rockies at 7.2 grade thts 3000 feet mountain these guys ain't shit when it comes to car carrier

[2500mike]

[NateGS23]

[BrittneyLeAnn91]

[bigredi444]

quiet Britt!!!

[NateGS23]

@bigredi444 haha

[bigredi444]

Nate, passed one of your fleets trucks this morning of 495 N.... no response on the CB so I don't think it was you.

[NateGS23]

Well we were hauling to our plant in lowell. I was down there. What time was it. I must have missed you cause i would have seen ya coming. Did the truck have the visor on it. Mine is the only one with a big visor.

[bigredi444]

Yeah thats how I realized it wasn't you....no visor. Was around 10:30am. I was heading southbound on 495 before Rt.3

[NateGS23]

Rats i missed you probably by about 10 minutes or so.

[rymadness]

you should try some over the road with a sleeper....fun stuff

[bigredi444]

yeah i'd love to do it for like a month or two. But right now I'm very content with running local.

[JONTEJOY]

Great video and music...

5* from Sweden

[mcrockett2001]

Great video. Looks like a pretty cool job.

[mr7badass]

Was that a Super Coupe 7:51 and 8:37? Sucks to see an sc in that kind of rusted shape.

[Newfieguy89]

So when do we get to see the video of the totaly tricked out pogo stick?? lol

[hammerheaddriver]

Very Nice Video Andrew. Loved how you used the "Law & Order" theme right after the intro. That was really cool. Looked really good. The angle on the shifter was just perfect. Can't wait to the Part 2 of this episode. 5 Stars , Playlisted and shared. Take Care & Stay Safe.

~Larry~

[bigredi444]

Thanks bro, the 2nd half will be up later today or tomorrow.

[ZoeToots]

very interesting shot of the gear shifter... The angle was "perfect". May I get the Mazda delivered to my home, please? traffic and snow..bleck! OH and stupid drivers.

wouldn't part 7 (1 of 2) be part 8??

[ZoeToots]

I mean 2 of 2 equal 8??

[hammerheaddriver]

No its all Part (Episode) 7. Just had to split it up in two videos due to the 10 minute maximum rule.

[bigredi444]

LoL, why you gotta be so technical Tam Tam??

[4x4loonatic]

cool video Andy :) now for part 2 lol

[bigredi444]

Yeah part 2 will be up soon. Larry thought it would bring suspense, to post the 1st without the 2nd being ready. haha.

[4x4loonatic]

lol yeah it did but i gotta go bed now so it will have to wait till the morning lol

[VicGord]
