  12. Your boost leak seems to be getting worse. If you can’t find it by putting air to the system and listening for a leak or spraying soapy water. If you still can’t find it try using smoke machine to put smoke in the air to air system to find it. I believe them inter-coolers were know to leak because of manufacturing defects with them. Your fuel economy should go up plus your emissions system won’t be having to work as hard cleaning all the soot you are dumping into it with that boost leak. Also you should see an increase of pulling power too. Enjoy your videos and safe travels to y’all.

  14. One of my favorite episodes in the 4 years of watching you never missing an episode. From the bubba and dade city mx talk to the sawmill and logs. I was answering all your log questions you were asking to lita. I like dark wood, long wood, preferably walnut veneer. Oh and 725th like same as my birthday.

  15. I like the grey polo. And I agree that the S&R should be responsible for getting you loaded and unloaded within a reasonable time. If not the pay me for my time. And that's a start rate per hour paid before leaving. And is that Lita singing? sounds good. If not then who is it?

  16. Great video as always. I use to go back in these mountains and haul logs out to these mills like this one.The logs were very top heavy. So many times I had to tell the loaders how to load the logs to keep from being to top heavy. You really had to have your stuff together or you could end up on your side in a curve. The company I worked for would not hire over the road drivers because the job was so dangerous for that reason. God Bless you Lita and Robert stay safe. I will be looking for the next video.

  24. As a former trucker that grew up in a trucking family I have been watching 4 you tube truckers. I dropped 3 of them because they aren't real. Love your channel because you show the real side of trucking. Keep it up!

  31. Robert (and Lita as well), I understand that you've said in many of your videos in the past that you really don't give a crap what your subscribers think so I "get" that perhaps this will be completely disregarded or ignored.

    But, I hope you'll at least read it and consider what I'm going to type.

    1. I feel your videos are really lacking in quality as far as the content and I'll explain what I mean by that.

    Although I'm sure you've had a few videos over the years that were like this one since I haven't watched them all, this one had hardly any talking in the video and I feel like you need a lot more of it and there should be largely or mostly talking in your videos rather than some of the "other stuff".

    For one thing, I think you need to pretty much eliminate the driving portions where you speed up the video (editing) as well as the securement and tarping portions.

    Why?

    Well, I don't really know why people would need or want to see the driving portions for one. It's just road scenery which quite honestly can be a bit boring to watch. I know this is just my opinion and I understand that I'm sure there are some people that say they like the driving portion of the videos.

    So, I "get" that my opinion is possibly different than some other viewers. I also "get" that you can't make every viewer happy. So, I understand that you may not make any changes and that's that.

    But just stop and think about the driving portion yourself for a bit and think if it really makes sense to have that in your videos. Or, at the very least, if you are going to have it, then minimize it down to a very, very small portion of the overall video. And if you are going to include it, then just speed up that portion of the video and if people want to go back and watch it, they can and they can reduce the video speed to watch it if they so desire.

    In this video, it seemed like a large portion of it was either the driving or loading or securement. Perhaps you were talking during your driving but I wouldn't know as I fast forwarded through all of those portions as I don't care at all about the driving. And the parts that I did watch that had you talking seemed like about 5 minutes out of a 41 minute video.

    Not enough talking in my opinion.

    If you were watching the video yourself, would you really want to sit there and watch a video of a view of the landscape from a windshield of a moving vehicle for the majority of that video?

    I doubt you would want to do that but perhaps I'm wrong.

    2. I suggest you do a lot more talking about how that particular load is being handled in the video and maybe discuss more of the things that you deal with as far as the brokers, paperwork, things that people should be prepared for regarding inspections, discussing how to look for loads, how to handle negotiations (at least in your opinion), and all the other various aspects of the industry whether it's the "day to day" portion or starting up.

    The reason I think you need to have a lot more talking is because I think you have to consider that some people may click on your video not to watch it but to have as background stuff going on as they are doing other things. But, if people are busy doing things such as working on their hobby like building a car, engine, or maybe doing woodwork in a shop or maybe doing some paperwork in their office, they aren't going to be able to keep their eyes glued to the screen to see what's going on.

    And so, having a bunch of stuff on the screen that people aren't watching doesn't really accomplish much so showing a view of the landscape from a windshield doesn't do anything for the viewers if they are listening to the video.

    In a way, I think you have to consider your video to also be absorbed from your subscribers or viewers as something similar to a podcast where they are just listening to whatever you have to say so they don't have to actually watch it.

    For this reason, I think this is why you need to do more talking in the videos. But also, I think people find it more interesting to hear what your thoughts are about how to handle the business or the industry and certain things to get started or to transition from one part of the industry to another.

    Or, at the very least, they want to hear YOUR thoughts. After all, that's why people watch YOUR channel in the first place.

    In your case, you started with your pickup and trailer as more of a "hotshot" type of hauler within the industry and now you are in a semi truck so maybe you could discuss the transition or differences as you see them. I use the term "hotshot" very loosely because as I'm sure you're aware, "hotshot" doesn't necessarily mean that it is ONLY someone that hauls with a pickup and it can be just about anything that hauls something but it also means that the load has to be taken quickly from point A to point B as a "hot" load. (Insert joke here).

    But, as you know as well, due to the HOS and ELD requirements for most vehicles, there really isn't a way to do anything as far as an actual "hotshot" load anymore since you're really limited with doing a straight "shot" through the day or night from one side of the country to the other.

    So, it really doesn't make sense to call the type of hauling that people do in the industry a "hotshot" load anymore.

    But, that's a different discussion.

    The point is, I think there is more interest in what you have to say about the industry and people want to hear your thoughts. And yes, even if you're "bitching" about certain things, I think people want to hear that as well. At least to an extent. I know you get frustrated because you read comments from people bitching about your bitching so going back to not being able to make everyone happy, I "get" that you won't please everyone.

    But I think you're forgetting why people typically want to watch your videos. It's not so much to watch the view of the countryside or watching you load and unload cargo. It's for YOU.

    But not just you, ALSO Lita (sorry if I spelled her name wrong).

    And that brings me to my next thought……
