Always Keep A Spare... Air Line Set! How to Replace Your Trailer Air Lines
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.11 месяцев назад
A long time ago, someone told me to always keep a spare air line set and spare trailer 7 pole electrical cable. Now I know why. These red and blue air hoses, plus the green electric trailer cable are under a lot of stress and can break, causing you to have to stop dead in your tracks. Without a spare, you're stuck with whatever they carry at the truck stops. And those aren't the best, but they ...

Cutting My Key West Vacation Short - WHY???
No debate duals ONLY
was there JJ did you eat the big if you didn’t eat it you pay 💰
Drivers made Prime rich! They all all about indentured servitude in the form of a pretty truck you pay over 4k monthly on. Thats just the dedication for the truck haven't even gotten to fuel. Its insane how they have been allowed to do this
Wondering how your doing miss seeing Bev and the road
You said 1600 a week?
The DD15 is the best motor available and The best DPF system to go with it. In my opinion To me they are the most important things. Also parts are readily available with service centers everywhere. Back up and running quickly. And yes, Freightliner make up 35% of the truck market so you will see them broken down or getting towed but you will also see a ton on the highway running.
I enjoy washing and detailing but does it pay? I do rv transport/porter. I clear about $70k with minimal overtime.
I love FREIGHTLINER
Haven't seen you in a while. I hope you are doing ok.
Yeah, just waiting for my Ortho appointment next week, then I'll send another update.
Looking forward on my new career and keeping my cycling ❤
Great!!!
Are you trucking? When you release your next video
Hey there. Things are still in the air. Just waiting for my next appointment and then I'll be sending an update video your way. 😊
@@JJtheTrucker hope you’re doing well and go back to make mucho money 💵💵💵
I want a trailer for storage. Should I get a reefer or a dry box? Someone please advise me.
Sorry for the delay. For basic storage, a dry van will do the trick. If you don't need it to be mobile, then a CONEX Container may be a less expensive option.
@@JJtheTrucker Got a dry box for a total of $2500 and delivered. A blessing indeed. Great condition with new doors good wood floors and wood on all the walls. One strip of wood down the ceiling center. I left it elevated for storage underneath. Thinking of insulating it and using solar for an A/C in it or maybe just a fan. Storing furniture and glass. Needs to be cool. The containers (Conex) were not as good. I’m very happy. Thank you for responding. If you know anything about insulating them please advise.
Thank you very much.Interesting
Plug kit $12
Your truck was probably built right before the pandemic in 2020,so that hurry up thing wasn't the issue.Maybe it was built on Monday or Friday and that's the issue 😄
Mans seems happy. Thats all that matters. Only if we could get the homeless to have this mental state of mind
International sucks as*
Is there a email I can get ahold of you with?
Definitely go to LAX, there is a chiropractor, his name is dr rahim gonstead. He’s really good at adjusting people with conditions like sciatica
16:30. Review
I want to do this
The message is live within your means. First few years to live within your means unless you are wealthy to start with you will be living in a shack down by the river. It isn't so bad at least you will have roof over your head! Best of luck!
Or just live in the truck like I did.
You sure sciatica has nothing to do with all those years of carry that over inflated ego? Because that’s exactly why people buy cybertrucks. Just joking hope you’re feeling better!

Are you still trucking? What engine are you running? What's you're fuel mileage? Enjoyed your video! I'm shopping now for a 2024 / 579.
I'm technically still driving but I'm off the road right now from an injury. I have the Pack car mx-13 engine. Fuel mileage overall on average I'd say is around 7.5. Overall I'm happy with the packer engine and transmission. The rest of the Peterbilt is generally okay with some minor issues here and there. I don't know that I would get one of the new Peterbilts though because of the digital dash. It's made by the same people that make the radio in my truck and it is extremely full of bugs so I'm really worried about how the digital dash would really perform. Otherwise, seems like a pretty nice truck.
@@JJtheTrucker Thank you for your input! Greatly appreciated. Hopefully you'll be back to work soon!!
$1,200 a week that’s not enough money
That's over $60k/year. Not bad for salary in the first couple of years in a new career. Not gonna find that in too many places. I ended up moving on from Prime to make more money, but that experience with Prime was invaluable.
Glad they’re getting things straightened out finally. I’ve had 19 of the epidural injections over the years, they do work wonders but are temporary. If they allow it do the PT and ask about acupuncture. An MRI would be good to see if there’s anything else going on causing it. Feel better JJ!!
Thanks Pete
Man JJ they haven’t been sending my your vids. I feel your pain. The Advil and Prednisone are for inflammation. There’s stuff they can do with epidurals and nerve ablation. Not taking opioids is the best thing ever. What works for me, as sciatica is one of my lesser back issues, is heat or ice and LOW IMPACT yoga whereby it’s mostly stretching. I’ve also heard Tai Chi helps. Haven’t tried that yet. Aqua therapy is good too. I do stretching in the tub. Hope you feel better. I’m going to catch up on your other vids now.
Thank you 😊
Do you still have your dragon
Sure do! Legend sits on the dashboard by the window so he can see all the passersby.
🤯 wow I am doing research into trailer washouts for my business and this was the first video I clicked on. What are the chances I am from Aurora and have lived here my entire life. Man the RUclips world is small
I have had back issues before myself. Mine would feel like a knife stuck in my lower back when i would move. A Chiropractor was the only relief that worked for me. I had to go nearly every day for like two weeks. Hang in my friend
Get better JJ, glad you are getting the care you need now. Hopefully they can get this resolved sooner than later!
Great to hear that the insurance fiasco is getting worked out. Praying for You and for the Dr's to get you back to better health.
Couldn't you put someone in your truck so you can still make money?
It's not worth it for 1 truck. Lots of headache and risk. And if the driver quits, I'd have to go get the truck and I can't do that. Just not worth it.
@@JJtheTrucker yeah that's true, it would have to be someone you could really trust and that's hard to find these days, Goodluck, hope you heal fast, prayers love and hugs
☮️
U rock, bro. Good to hear from you.
Get better bro..
So glad to hear things are on the upswing both physically and with the rat bastard insurance mafia!
Do you have a primary Dr or a PA ? They can get you into a specialist . The Doc in the box offices I don’t recommend.
I do but she's in South Carolina.
@@JJtheTrucker I’m not a Dr but I did stay at a Holiday inn once
I don’t have sciatic or anything but the stretching for that is really nice.
O wow . I just saw this . Hope you’re getting better . Haven’t been on RUclips for a long time but just jumped on and looked you up . Take care
25% fee is rather inconvenient,. actually! 😁
Right??? Lol
keeping you in my prayers JJ
Hope you get better can't wait to see you back behind the wheel avoid injectables all they do is mask the problem instead of solving it
Park out by the petrol by the racetrack and just move it about every 4 days from one parking spot to another
Thought about it, but it's not exactly close by, it's not very secure and there are very few free spots. They go fast. It's always a gamble with truck parking in Vegas (pun intended)
Prayers for back healing...I was a truck driver for 4 years.in the Army in the 80s. I started.having back issues and was medically discharged. I have been on 100% disability since then. :(
Hey JJ Good luck man with everything. It will work out so don’t get discouraged. I definitely lmao when you talked about your hair.. I said to myself, “This dude is worried about his hair “. And I’m someone that is going bald and wish I could have your long hair. I’m just curious my stepbrother is looking at moving to Tucson from here in Tx and I’m just curious w/o naming your place how much the rent is there ?? Take care and get well soon.✌️
Lol. Rents in Tucson seem to run around $1100-1400 for a decently nice 1 bedroom in an OK neighborhood. There are less expensive options, but you either get a bad neighborhood or it's not that nice of a place (usually both)
@@JJtheTrucker Thanks man for answering my question. I’ve been thru Tucson and been to the national park there but, never had the need to know about living or renting out there… Like I said my step brother is wanting to go live there. He recently just showed up at my house unexpectedly and I’m ready to give him the boot.. lol 😂 Again thanks for answering and healthy and good vibes coming at ya….✌️
Best of luck, JJ.
Gallagher Bassett sucks. I had to sue them over my back and won. Buy the lidocaine pads, they work well. Get better!!
