It's not just heavy equipment auctions Wade...I have lost at auto auctions, estate auctions, government auctions....basically every kind of auction I have ever bid in....won a few and got a bargain but few and far between.....and didn't always have your upbeat attitude but that is what makes you and your videos winners . Thanks for posting

Well Tater we wish you well!. That’s a lot of work your right on them low boys !. But we know you’ll do a fine job. Long haul too . G-man was telling Me that every Peterbilt he’s ever had has damn play in the wheel it must be a Peterbilt thing. Only thing he hates about them. Motor easy trucker/ logger . 🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

Thanks for the ride along Wage, I enjoyed all three videos. Don’t beat yourself up over the bent trailer, you will get it fixed and it will be better then new. Also it will make some good repair videos. Glad you had a safe trip.

That red trailer looked to be a good buy so Atleast you have that going for you

Awesome video, listening to that caterpillar per climbing Mount Eagle brought back memories I’m about 10 years ago when I was driving and O2 Pete with a six NZ cranking 550 hp with 355 gears I puled mt eagle many a time.

The olé Peterbuilt looks and sounds great. Look at it this way, you got a new to you project.

You don’t give your self credit wade your one hell of a great fabricator!!! Love the vidjas

Glad you got ur trailers an comin home an don't worry bout the trailer u can fix it and once u rest alil an it's at shop with u u'll figure out just how to fix it u the smartest logger I know an dam if u not the busiest to logging repairs saw mill father and husband an son an friend I'd be in the nutt house tryn to remember everything that u do my hats off to u sir thank you for all u do an always making the most of what u got. Ur definitely a successful guy. Appreciate u sir thank you.

Mission complete. Translation El Copleto. You made me laugh so hard 😂. Glad you're home and safe with the family

Wade the E logs were the final nail in the super trucker coffin. I said at that point I can make just as much at home as I could on the road.

Another great vidja driver!! Glad you made it home, looking forward to the next vidja, kids the family and go to bed!! Wake up and spend the day away from work, hang out with mommy and the kids!! Be safe and God Bless!!!

I got faith in ya Wade on gettin that trailer right after a good coat of paint she'll be like new. That is a long drive dang

That Weiler is a asphalt shuttle buggy , they are used on state jobs were speeds are over 45 mph so you can have a continous pull !

Thank you for the ride. I loved it

I’ll tell you up Wade that old Pete sounds good with them Jake brakes and looks good to. I bet y’all will be glad to get back home. Well y’all have a safe trip back home and as usual a great video brother

Hahaha...! Fred Sanford...? I have not heard that name in a hundred years. Used to watch that show with my mom & dad, that and "All in the family" we're there favorite's. Sir you have made my day, making me remember those times, thank you. I have seen your work, those trailers will be like new in no time. Great video. Look forward to the up coming videos of the work on those trailers. Thank you sir...

Having fun with that comic book Truck driver HAHAHA. That book reminds me of when I ran 2 to 3 of them. My how times have changed in 30 yrs. Great JOB!. I really do like our channel and keep up the good work.

Been over Mt. Eagle many of times driving a parking lot with a turned up C-15. Never had any problems.

You’ve got some work ahead bud. I’ve never done well a auctions either. True statement you never find a deal out there in a sunny lot! 🌞

Looking at your vedio. Kind of make me remember my carear last 2 years. Oolll i miss those turbo sound..

Greetings from No VT - Wade, once you drop a 48" x 100' white oak tree across it on it on the up side you should be OK! Seriously, once you do the rehab it will be better than new and will give you service for many years so don't beat yourself up too much.

At the end of the day when trying to settle down after farming and running a feed business, there is nothing like a logger wade vidja to ease the tension and make me laugh.

I hope the project goes well and now you can say that you've been to a auction. Great vidja to.

I always have a good time at auctions, Dont hardly buy anything but have a good time! LOL I like the lift truck BTW

Looks like you got yourself some weekend work lined up anyway. My 98 Pete with a big Cat the fan doesn't even kick on until it hits 217 degrees. When I got it I took it to Cat to get reset because I thought that was a bit warm but they said nope that's where it runs best but when it kicks on the temperature sure drops fast.

Great adventure there driver! I'll take a nap for ya!

hopefully you dig into that trailer and it will do way different than what you are thinking and go for the better of ways it can go

We’ve been through WV, Tn, Ky, Oh, Ks, and Mo. while traveling from Virginia. We try to travel in early morning or late night. Over the last 10 years the rest areas and truck stops have been filling up with trucks. The last couple years it’s hard to find a place to park even a little ass 4 wheeler.I feel for all the OTR truckers.

Wade's clicking his heals like Dorathy. Saying there's no place like home. Lol God bless

I had the same experience at Richie brothers. I bought a 55 ton drop deck . Like you said it was worth what I paid for it, but it wasn’t no big deal/discount lol. That was two years ago so this last one I bought at the dealership. It was one that was left over for the previous year. Got a good deal on it. It’s just the luck of the draw I guess lol.

I got to about 4-5 auctions a year and what I find is the better deals can be found at small auctions and estate auctions. The big sales just attract too much competition .

Glad you made it home safe

Hope the best for your project.... But dont think for a second you're the only one that's a sucker for a basket case....

Mount eagle is a pretty good climb and decent. We go around when we can, been a few trucks over the years that burn on that hill. I like that red lowboy you got, not to much wrong with it?

Great video Wade always enjoy your video

There was an auction here in Northern Michigan on Dec 19th. 10 degrees, windy, snowy. Everything wen't a full price, place was packed. Lol - everyone was in full bibs/snowmobile suites haha - Auctions seem to be better for the sellers than buyers these days.

you've got your work cut out for you. looking forward to the videos on the repairs. Ill be looking for a lowboy soon for my personal use and probably buy something that needs some work unless im able to work a deal on one from the company i work for.

Welcome home buddy old boy😂 it always feel so good to get home after a long journey. The best part of the whole trip was? Listening to that kitty cat 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😖 man alive those c15-6nz’s dang old girls are nice.

Good one wade that mnt eagle Thats a long pull .stay safe .

Great video Wade y'all have a great one and stay safe 👍

I hate long trips God bless you and your family

Wade a friend of mine bought a couple of those cat trucks, I had heard the same thing about them and we wished him luck

Nice looking Trailer. I'm surprised you didn't go to Ritchie brothers in Nashville.

Great sounding truck

You know what you're doing. It is TOUGH to untwist those beams. Cut em out and over manipulate those webs. It's overcompensation, tack weld, and hope it sets straight. You got some work but it won't be as bad as you think. Cheers Wade! Good vidja!!!

I just went by Ritchie Brothers on my way back down to Kansas City. Everything's looking pretty quiet now.

I work at a tire shop and we do those forklift tires all the time

For us southern folks we hate climbing Monte Eagle. Have fun with the trailers.

I feel like it's already hard here in Australia to get something decent from auction even for motorbikes and cars so I would think it would be twice as hard when it comes to heavy equipment.

Great video! E logs=government control!! I used to find a new 70 hrs sitting on a shelf in ah Truck Stop!😎🤣

Job Well done Wade 👍

Nice video! Keep on trucking!

you no you the man that was good buy it will be alright .....thanks for sharing

A couple fella's with rosebuds and a fella on the cold water hose will do wonders, something to think about Wade !

Good vidja Wade !! Hope that bent trailer works out ! Or take it to a chiropractor an get put in place 😂

Good to see ye got home with no tragedy's:):)

The bent one from Luckys in Vermont? My talbert 35 ton came from them. You will like the talbert drop side you got.

Keep on Truckin Wade

I wish only one item I buy at auction,could turn out good enough to make junk. Just one time, always looks way better there. But get it home and its scrap iron. But on the bright side, that left turn signal was good.

looks like you got a buy on the red trailer! you already have demonstrated that you definitely have the skills to fix the black one, just a matter of when you get the time too! thats just the luck of an auction, you know; sometimes you bite the dog, and sometimes the dog bites you!!!!! stay safe friend!!!!

So for an extra 10K, you could have bought a new unit and have no worries. There are lots of deals at the factory direct. Sometimes they have a new unit that was never sold (and of year) that you can get for a steal.

Does that pete have a super 10 speed in it. I jjst saw you shift once then you flipped the seitcha nd it shifted afain

Great video red trailer looks nice black one needs help

Glad you got there safe guys.

You should see the Ritchie Bros auction in Nisku ab. The sales 6 years ago absolutely dwarfed that.

Wade when you are ready to talkel a real mountain in a semi. Come on out to Southern California. Take on the grapevine. God bless

Red trailer looks to be in nice shape

Did the black trailer have the gooseneck with it?

You are 100% right .

Congrats 💪🏼

Home...Sweet...Home!!!

Damn Wade you need some better headlights buddy I couldn’t see anything. I live in TN so I’ll have to be on the look out for you and your dim lights

There was inadequate truck parking 20 years ago. Then they mandated long shut down periods. Glad I am out of it, and it hurts to think of the ones suffering thru this. Seen where many are fined for running out of hours in areas where there is nowhere to shutdown.

Dat Cummins know it sounds good in the background at 5:24 shifting those gears!!

welcome home Wade....

Been across Mt Eagle alot. Respectable mountain going east when heavy. Yer gonna have to talk Dirt Perfect into springin fer a new trailer to use with his dump trk. Keep up the good videos. Stay safe.

Like the content, I remember a few years back running down there to pick up an auction buy for a friend and when we got there it was gone. Spent most of the day trying to find out what happened. My friend was furious and my laughter at the situation didn’t help. 👍

Do you ever keep an eye out for stuff at the Nashville Ritchie Bros auction?

“It’s only 900 miles there and 900 miles back” -Bandit Darville

Good job soldier !

God wade the lights seem terrible on your truck!!!just looked pitch black on camera with an annoying flashing beacon reflecting on top of window!!!👍🏻👍🏻😂🇬🇧

Talbert looks like a nice trailer.

“You know me and serious we are good at serious” as he drives through a stop sign 😂😂😂 o well useless stop sign anyway wth that thing was even doin there 🤷🏼‍♂️

look at it this way Wade if nothing else you got the worlds most expensive overwidth placard . I feel for you been there

Love y’all

Lol run that stop 🛑 . I just done the same thing bro got a warning lol

Long drive for sure, I think I remember those two you hauled in. best of luck with them.

How do you think they bent up your black trailer it looks like it is bent pretty good

Wade i was thinking you could have got mommy on of those coconut trees down there for the front yard.

Go to bed.Should be seeing you in about a week.Happy dreams.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤑🤑🤑

Roll on eighteen wheeler---Roll On!

When are you putting them stacks on the ol bird so she can caw caw haha

was that a speeding ticket u had there? at least u got urself a free wide load sign-ha!!! tater-them rest areas and truck stop was packed like 25 yrs when i drove, pain in the butt some nights to find a parking spot back then.

The trouble with the cat truck was the ih. Max force motor. Lots of law suits over the maxforce

Cool video been a long time since I did that kind of driving, had to laugh when you showed your " comic book " no name no date nothing but plenty of hrs to drive trucking use to be fun but with company's going with paper-less logs & e-logs they took all the fun out

Nice looking dump hopper's.

Turning into a real trucker there tater!

What other stuff you get on the other trailer.

did you ever do anything with the bent one ? I know you've been busy.

you will geter fixed winter just right around the corner
