As far as getting people out of vehicles, u need to be careful. If thru have injuries in the neck or spine, u may cause more harm than good. And there are people who will blame u for moving them and become liability on ur part.. be careful. If they say anything about back or neck pain, don't move them without help or not at all.
A true trucker never goes by an accident that just happens, I would rather waste my clock helping people who just got hurt, then to let them suffer just for me to get my loads done. You sire are a good man for stopping and trying to help to the best of your ability.
lol man you got ripped on them filter there cheaper to buy at a dealer then that and change yourself the old FLD and century was like 10 a filter after you bought the wrench we changed all the time if fuel was half way in the glass we changed it!
Justin, I always appreciate how positive your comments are when sharing your experiences. Stay safe and I am eager to see the FLD 120 Freightliner daycab on the road. 😊👍
Is this the world we're living in now? Damn Justin…you couldn't put down the fuckin phone long enough to properly help someone? Not to mention filming someone that's just been traumatized? Why??? Sorry man..losing a lil respect for you on this! Don't think you'd want your wife or kids being filmed after somethin like that, don't think you'd like it either. I had you pegged wrong for sure but you just like the rest
Worst I've gotten recently is from the pilot (exit11 on i20 in sc) near North Augusta, SC. A very dirty, dark brown diesel. I try to fill up at half tank level. If it has a mostly clear greenish color i fill up. If it has that dirty brown, i immediately stop and try somewhere else. I've been running the fleetpride filters inside a davco 282 housing with the clear cover. I've had good luck with them for years on a 12.7 detroit. I pay under $9 apiece for their fuel filters. I buy them by the case cheaper than the amazon case price, and they come strait to the house from Cleveland, Ohio. Drop me a line if you want the info.
Where I live there is the local fuel distribution center with tons of massive tanks right around the corner from my work. I used to be picky about where I fuel up. Since working there 5 1/2 years I've noticed every distributor from name brand fuel center to third party shippers branded trucks all get their fuel from the same supplier/ distribution cemter. I dont work in the industry but in my opinion they all pick up the same fuel from the same place. I dont think each brand owns their own giant tank there. I just try to fill up from newer well maintained appearing stations so hopefully their tanks are better. Also delivery drivers of fuel have confirmed with me never fill up during or immediately after their filling tanks due to minor sediments in tanks getting stirred up.
On my old n14 I used Baldwin filters and my truck started faster also I used motorkote oil additive help prevent dry start and my fuel mileage went up and faster started
Hey Justin, thanks for helping those people! Try not to move debris, the crash scene investigators need that in place to write their reports. Most EMS would advise the crash victims to not walk around but sit in the grass just in case they have spinal injuries. Those people might be in shock. If the car is not going up in flames sometimes it’s better for them to stay put in case they have spinal injuries. I believe your covered under the Good Samaritan laws but it’s always good to make sure the crash victims aren’t moving too much in case they have injuries. You did a good job, thanks for helping those people buddy, I hope they are all ok!

That’s a BYD (build your dream) truck all electric
That’s one of those autonomous self driving semis it looks like

That truck looks like the Volvo FH electric.
10 inhg = the pressure exerted by a column of mercury (hg) 10 inches high. It's about 4.9 PSI. 😊
That is my favorite Love's
