Just a tip - always put carpet under the wheel. especially with aluminum wheels. keeps them from sliding around on you.

Pam cooking spray or there's cheapest equivalent works great also you always mount the tire valve stem side up so your not smashing in to the concrete

Hi, Artem! Dashboard is very cool.

love the truck. i gotta learn how to change my own tires

Good on you changing those tires.

Been wanting to haul containers since i got into the industry. finally got my year and hoping to jump into that gig soon.

Leased on to a couple of carriers here in Seattle man so done with the port going to do tanks for a bit get my Authority n try run ports then

I replace tires , here in troutdale or. 200 bucks for all eight tires. Very quick service too. Oil change is our speciality also 2670 nw graham circle troutdale or.

Definitely have nice ride.. looks sweet rollin up an down the 5.. seen ya lots times

I love the kw900 n the t660 bro both trucks are badasssss

You seem like a chill dude my guy seen you at the port and that truck is bad ass!

Wow you guy are just living it up

Beautiful rig.

That's a good looking truck! I'm digging that dashboard 😃👍🏿👌🏿

Nice video good advice 👍, ..Put a big piece of cardboard on the pavement when changing tires so you don't scratch up the rims...

Yes I agree with you local pays good and sometimes even more and the said part is, it’s the same pay for OTR

That 660 is 🔥 bro!

Damn man I'm trying to read that paper but you move it so frickin much! 😂🤣😂

Good looking truck and dash

Frey tube lube Makes the job a lot easier seals the tires easy air up

Pliers are good to use as well

Pretty cool rig.

Living next door to this guy would just be awesome

Honestly depends on your dispatcher, I’ve had two drivers from another terminal I’m cool with in downtown LA talk to a lot when I run a set down there after my P&D route they both left to run containers under their own authority didn’t work out and came back to XPO

That's decent. I know an O/O that was doing container in 2013 they were only getting $1.13 p/m for one particular lane, that would take a day to do.

what a crazy wheelbase man

company flatbed local driver i'm thinking about going containers maybe own my own one day seems like good work no strapping chaining ports can be pain in tha ass tho

That really makes me wanna go for a day cab for sale. I been seeing it everyday I drive by it on the way to the company I work local for as a company driver. Very nice truck there you mentioned about your air ride system a couple of times in this video. What was it that you did that was custom?

my dad hauls to the ports of Seattle/tacoma. There at the WT, Matson, T18. he makes pretty good money doing it.

My neighbors called hoa on me for working on my truck at home. Consider yourself blessed to have good neighbors.

Hell yeah brother! I haul containers also. Love it. Getting ready for a Winchester VA Mon. Then coming home to sleep till darkness LoL. Then heading to FL. From FL it Wisconsin then back to FL then back home to VA. Busy, busy!

Time to go work for port hauling containers

I hear in Cleveland they have allot of containers Iv been thinking about doing it with a dually or something.

Use 2 crow bars next time to install tires alot easier

Man that is a nice truck!

I do the same thing New York and New Jersey

Тымч привет из Самары ) классно трак бежит по фривею

Beautiful rig man, what year and model is it?

Do a video on how you use starting fluid to blow up tire

I also noticed you only have 4 axles on your truck, My dad has a 4 axle truck and has his own chassis with 5 axles. Im not entirely sure, but I know for a fact a driver can make more money if they do not use the companies trailer chassis and also has a drop axle for 105,000 Dot approved weight? anyways thanks for the video man, hope to see you around sometime when I start the gig!

Does your dispatcher also do Southern California, that's where I'm at. I wouldn't mind doing container loads 👍

I'm sure those neighbors love the truck tire shop in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

That’s not bad pay bro I run Reefer here in OR and WA only last 5 years and love it I see you all the time on the I-5 looking good 👍 I offload at that Fred Meyer often maybe I’ll run in to you one day

I work sea/tac ports also and I see you all the time. Love the truck man. I'm a company driver now but definitely wanna get my own someday. I've been wondering what you guys make on the local runs, had no idea it was that much. Makes me wanna buy a truck tomorrow lol. I've only been driving a little over a year so I might stick it out for awhile and do my homework on becoming an o/o. Which companies do you think are the best to lease on to?

I'm owner opereitor.. and I love.. where I can find a dispatch for containers.. I drive for one company but is not working for me

I pull containers on the east coast, I'm still debating on doing that air ride on my truck

I’d rather pay someone to replace them but that’s just me. I’ll do most other repairs myself. I think a friend payed like 250-300 to have a mobile tire guy go to the truck yard to replace all the drives. Seems like a hassle to do tires.

Hello, great video as an owner operator how hard is to make 10K a months after insurance, expenses and fuel? I mean doing port work locally just like you. How many hours a day do you usually work? thank you.

Красавчик ! 👍

im leased on with a company. i can do two a day and make a 1000 a day, about 1000 in fuel per week. im in atlanta ga

Man great content . 3 months into ports right now in California , did you have to a certain amount of experience before you leased on to someone else’s MCNumber as OWner operator ?

The only problem I have with that area is Traffic

I live In WA Bro, but been trucking with Schneider. I want to go O/O but I'm broke 🤣.

IF my 4 banger SUV tire costs $120 and my big SUV is $200. How many trips does it cost take for one semi tire + road side tire service? $500 for the tire? Labor? I would say one tire would eat one day's work. The state got paid. The insurance company got paid. The loan sharks got paid The petroleum company got paid. You got the bills. If you net $100,000 per year you are doing pretty good. More than is excellent. You most likely are putting in lot of wear on the truck seat to make more than $100,000.

I’m hauling super b’s air bags are at 75 psi

I have a question for you what would you charge to transport 2- 20 foot shipping containers combine grocery Weight around 24K from New Jersey to California 2905 miles appreciate any feedback.

How do I find containers load with my own numbers?

Get an old mud flap to protect ur rims

So do you Bob tail back to the port from where it goes

Why do you run such a long wheel base ? Is there an advantage to it ? I have also found that lubricant is the key to so many things.

I do local on my Peterbilt 389 and ppl tell me can you afford it little do they know I’m marking the same as them staying local and home every day

Good video!! Local is good especially if your truck is paid for!!! Can make a killing to go 300 miles round trip!!! Even better with a same day drop off back haul!!!! I disagree with U recommending leasing on or getting a dispatcher!!!! Y pay someone to do what U can do yourself??? The key is to keep your over head low and save as much money as you can by doing as much as U can without having to pay someone else to it!!!!

What's the average pay per mile gross? 40'er HC to a 20'er I'm buying a 40' Gooseneck full tilt to start hauling Containers from California to Arizona, Utah and Texas.... Was wondering what average current rate is to move them? I want to make sure I'm paid fairly... I've put all my chips on the table for this.... TIA! - Bob 🤠👍

Hey I am planing to do port I’m new and I live in Portland or with this hard time of gas expense do you think still worth it?

I wouldn't call those numbers great especially if you take pride in your truck because that where in tear on those loads it's substantially more. At the same time your rpm isn't bad at all, I'm just not one for that type of Work. This week I only did 1800 miles and I grossed 7.4K I was doing short loads which is not my normal thing so I probably got a little lucky this week, and that includes today's load that delivers Sunday night/Monday morning

If anyone laughs at how you change a tyre they could always come and show you 8 times while you have a beer and watch 🍻

🚧👍

What company you working for ? That’s not bad for local

what’s your average take home a week?

you got one beautiful t660 question about your pipes are they connected to the exaust i got me a 08 t660 wanted to install 7' streight pipes

How do you get container local or regional runs with own authority??

What's your wheel base?

uoooo🤗containers , o/ o tropical weather home every night almost. ummm sounds sweet 🤪🥳don't tell everyone 🤫🤪😁

😂 I’m the red Volvo next to you

Have you hauled anything else besides containers? KW looking good👌

containers here in central nashville gross $3500/wk which sucks i run flatbed now but looking for local

Do you get your loads through a broker?

Say, they let you park in your neighborhood? There's no city ordinance against it? Or neighbors trying to stop you from parking at home?

What country are you from? You're that guy, parking your truck at the house and doing maintenance in the neighborhood.

You at clackamas Fred Meyer

I pull containers out of Jacksonville FL and Savannah Ga, I rather pull out of Savannah the rate we getting now is stupid and they don't try you like they do otr guys...when I get there you got 2 hours to get your crap out of that container before detention kicks in...

Chicago local container pays 500$ trip.. been considering it.

Im trying do intermodal what the average take home

Do you get pay per mile? How is your pay is determined per load? Example: 70/30 split?

WHO IS YOUR DISPATCH?

are u leased on?

5.7 mpg American diesel classic it’s only because he stretched

What company are the dispatchers using to pull containers??

Привет.... Давно твой трак видел, на дороге, много раз... на I-90... Как можно связаться, интересуюсь работой...✨️👍

bro where do you get you loads from

I live in Seattle Washington does anyone know a good place to buy a truck for first time guy ?

Did you get your framed stretched in WA?

Are you leased onto a company that does the containers ?

I'm a little confused here, If they pay that well why are 90% of those container hauling trucks pieces of shit rolling down the road? I mean they can't even use the good duct tape to hold their mirrors together,they got that dollar store brand stuff on the truck. And I run the same area that that truck does so it's not a North vs south. As a matter of fact I just came out of the Seattle area yesterday and I lost count of the number of "3 color" trucks pulling containers. And for the love of God with that kind of pay you think they'd have some type of engine in there that can pull a bit of a hill.

How do u find container loads ? I do reefer loads and find them on DAT. Is there a load board for containers ?

Clean rida

What is your wheelbase?

what freight broker do you use man ..

Трафик плохой наверное там ?

How do you find the loads for the container loads.
