Mike, I’m glad y’all had a good time in Italy. I’ll check out that video. I haven’t had a chance to. Sorry your pinstriping got flaked out. But that’s artist they do that.😂😂😂

Glad to see true old school truckers still around. I started driving in 1975 still going strong. Love your channel

a discounted vacation and an all u can eat buffet, winner winner chicken dinner,lol.thanx 4 taking us along.

Hi Mike ,as much as we love what we do,you definitely need that time to regroup. Great video as always. Much appreciated.

Love the channel. I used to run MA a lot Tewksbury, Lawrence, Shrewsburg, Woburn, Wilmington, Fitchburg out of Reading Pa. Now I’m just local & Jockeying

Thanks for the ride along Mike. See ya on the next one.👍🏻

Ah yes, rattles, backwards airlines, and sagging trailer lines, all part of the new truck experience lol. Usually takes me 1-2 weeks to sort out a new truck, but once the details are sorted, man they're sweet!

Watched it to the end! That T800 is AWESOME! You are AWESOME too! Going to Italy would be incredible, I'm sure thanks for sharing your experiences and taking us along... Be safe can't wait for your GEARJAMMER coverage.

Good evening Mike! Thanks for the Wednesday surprise! You know as well as I, there’s always that 10%, that mess things up for everyone else!

Hey Mike, Looking forward to seeing you and the new ride this weekend. I haven’t been following the post on the new ride for little while wanted to see this beauty and all your ideas in person. Se you at the show!!!

The new T model has a funny looking gearshift knob! Have a good show!

We took vacation in the early day's, at every truck show 🤣 many vacations during the year 👍 same here nobody drives my truck and when it's in the shop it's not out of my sight, I stand at the door and sometimes you get a good mechanic and he explains everything he's doing and what waa wrong, that's how I learned to work on it. Safe travels buddy thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇲

Great video's Mike really enjoyed your vacation video Beautiful scenery

Mike I love the painted tanks and the rear lights. Very nice!!!!!

Great video mike enjoyed seeing the pics of Italy just keep up the great videos don't worry about nobody else what the heck with the negative comments Anthony's doing the right thing looking forward to seeing you in that new w900 yee haw!!!

I worked for years on a small tight board. 7 trucks. I was senior driver and 2 drivers who had the same experience as myself were really touchy about thier trucks being used when they were on vacation. We were all about 57 year's old and the one would schedule his truck for a pm and whatever it needed at our main shop and HQ whenever he was on vacation and the other just made the "" decree "" that nobody's driving my truck whilst I'm away. Well, you're not the owner of the trucks and if either one was needed for a driver who broke down... Yeah, as long as you topped it off and didn't leave garbage in it? I'm fine with you driving the truck. As someone once said, "" Team Work""-- Makes the dream work""! Safe travels and blessings. Shalom.

Glad you’re back ! Now let’s get the videos happening !

The hook on the end guys hook to a reefer unit. Raise the idle speed with the cruise switch to maybe stop the vibration.

Hey Boston trucker how are you doing today my friend so how's your trip to Italy and Spain and I love watching our videos they are very educational videos and keep up the good work and hopefully we will see you in your new truck soon

YO TRUCK AH BOY MIKEY I SEEN YOU ON THE ROAD LOOKING GOOD OLD MAN LOL

Was een indrukwekkende mooie video van je nieuwe truck veel rijplezier en veilige kilometers toegewenst bedankt gr carel uit holland

Hey mike glad you had a nice time on your vacation awsome to have a Post on wedsnday .. Keep up the awsome content

Why does it matter your senior driver there. The owner respects your opinion and wants your input on the truck. He also knows that you will take care of it and not trash it. Glad to see the new trucks

Super💯video. As always.

I've never been on a cruise, but I've always wanted to try a cruise like that. Seems like a good way to see the mediterranean. 800 is a nice truck, even with a school bus transmission lol. They're the right mix of areo and bulk with a touch of old school. You were just working out the kinks for the new driver. would have been a bigger pain to come back after 1 month and a half and have the air lines backwards.

In the long run, your left leg is going thank you

Check out the Minimizer floor liners. They’ll keep your floor looking like brand new for a long time.

The rattle on mine sounded the same. Passenger side bottom step bolts were loose

Look at my old truck I used to drive in part 21 minutes

Well I hope Freddie is ok. LOL arrogance comes with being a super star. Keep it shiny side up.

Good morning from New Zealand Mike, sounds like a good trip

most people that have all the answers have not seen all the questions

Mike your truck is bad to bone 👍👍👍👍 “Mike the millionaire trucker” 👍👍

Good for you and your wife for paying for college. We don’t have a student loan crisis, we have a parenting crisis. My kids are 6&7 and they each have a decent chunk of money in their 529 accounts. $300 a month invested adds up very quick. It doesn’t take much. Unfortunately, most parents park their kids college fund in the driveway.

😊hey good evening from your gravel hauling friends out here in the alamo city, San Antonio Texas

Someone else has to drive your truck you usually have binding gears and the clutch doesn't feel right (takes couple of hours to feel it back) and have to readjust your seat,,,😅 Thanks Mike,!

Keep the video's coming.

Another grand tactic Mike

There's ALWAYS one...... unfortunately.....smh.....you'd really had a beast if you'd gone with a 2050tq👍🏻👍🏻,.....I heard that Eaton not gonna offer the 18spd anymore in a 1850tq....2050 only....🤷🏻‍♂️......love my 2050👍🏻👍🏻....lookin' forward to next vid

Hope to see you at gearjammah!! I’ll be racing my Autocar and dad with his.

Do you think about the exposure that caudillo has now because of you doing those videos you've expanded his business and I'm sure they appreciated that's why they take good care of you

My friend.

You should buy that old Kenworth from caudillo that truck and you are the star of the show

15:38 - An unintentional bit of comedy...

How many cars did you almost rearend from the Allison automatic lurch 😂 Stopped at a light, you either put it in neutral or make sure you have your foot on the brake firmly. Its the automatic that makes the truck rattle the 4700 Western Star I drove same thing. Once you get on the throttle, the rattling subsides. Yep Anthony made you the guinea pig he'd know he'd hear the complaint list on the T800 😂

Why the Alison and not Eaton trans? It seems to me the 18 auto shift would be better in heavy haul.

Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri

The pto gear likes to rattle in the Autos for some reason. We have 3 Pete’s that go it

Capri.... ain't that where those short pants come from??

Mike don't let that comment get under your skin consider the source

Good to have you back brother

Yup- I watched till the end. I usually do. With my own channel I look at stats and such and know it helps. But...how can one NOT watch till the end of one of Mikes??? Haha! Yes- we had some crybabys at the last place I worked (32 1/2 years) who whined when the MECHANICS ran their truck!! To test work that was just done! Oh well, you're very fortunate Mike to work where you do. Auto-shift??....ehhhhh.......

So did your buddy stay in the new Mack?

Turning the idle up a bit might take them rattles away.

Mike, what’s the plan for your old truck? They going to keep it for a spare? Or is it going to be put up for sale?

The oil pressure looks really low for a x15, ours run 20-25 at 210-220 oil temp

Will you be at the show Saturday?

How does it pull compared to the Western Star?

What’s that loud vibration on that new T800?

Hey Mike.....your commenter evidently doesn't know how small companies and some larger ones work. New truck 90% of the time will be test driven by an older, experienced and trusted driver to be checked for problems and defects. Great job and now get back to work and quit slackin. HAHAHAHA

Where did you sail from ?

Mike, there’s always a clown or two that has to throw out their stupid opinion based on their stupid thought. They don’t have a clue which they keep their mouth shut.👍👍👍

ya gotta compare the two wtf

Call Larry hook

@TheBostonTrucker I am not a trucker I am just interested in trucking. I love your channel and you are okay dude. 🙂

I don’t know how to drive an automatic Don’t know if I’d be able to learn
