I love hearing that cat purr man I'm just a trucker stuck in a mechanic body I could go hours just listening to the turbo sing an the sound of my ppl keeping the good ppl awake at night 😂 keep trucking bro an be safe

That angle was great shows everybody the art of driving the truck it's like a part of the body

Your boss is an awesome business man. It shows with his equipment and the driver like yourself to represent your profession in the car hauler business. Stay safe Ralphy, keep the great videos coming👍

I feel like truckers aren't great at explaining the shifting very well. His left stick has 6 positions. Think of it like a car transmission where upper left is reverse, lower left is a low gear used for starting with heavy loads. The other 4 positions are the main forward gears 1-4. Upper middle slot is 1, lower middle is 2, upper right is 3 and lower right is 4. His stick on the left gives you those gears when it is forward. When he moves the right stick to the middle position you get the next 4 gears. Upper left and lower left are still reverse and low so ignore the left side again. Where 1-4 was in low now you have 5-8. Now he can pull the right stick back and split any of those gears and get a half shift gear between them including reverse and low. So, not counting reverse you have two lows on the lower left position and then 1L, 1H, 2L, 2H and so on which is 18 forward gears

I freaking get it now lol!!! Thank you for posting this, it actually helped me understand the 18 speed in general too.

What a sick truck... The colortheme in red and white is just right!

Proud of you young man. And i really did enjoy the video. That was a great little documentary of how you started off at the bottom and how you slowly worked your way up to where you are today. I'm a (RET) O/O from the Ol School of trucking when the trucking industry was great. No Cdl's and all of this going to trucking schools. I also grew up around trucks & Heavy equipment and started Trucking riding with my father when schools were out for the summer. I live in VA and i was well known as the '' Bonecrusher '' class of 82. Stay safe & blessed. Like i had said before '' I'm truly PROUD of you,

Another AWESOME video / education.....stay gold man, and stand out from the crowd.

Beautiful truck! Loving the dash!

I like the camera set up Big Ralph. That stereo HITTING!

Thanks for the twin stick video, and this angle is great. And thanks for sharing some of your background, you definitely paid your dues for sure…..great video 🤙🏾

No shortcuts taken on that build my friend. A privilege to drive the best, and you are a true professional brother. Be safe out there 👊🏼

Thanks for the story brother, God Bless and be safe out there.

I like this view! I have the same issue when someone has camera on the head, I get a sick feeling from all the moving.

I had to listen to this master piece through my audio system that truck and how that cat sounds is freaking insane camera angle is perfect

That camera angle was on point bro! That is an awesome truck for sure. It took me 10 years to finally get my cdl’s and it was the best thing I ever did. Now I just gotta get out in a car hauler but so far no avail cause nobody wants to train but I will get out there eventually though, I ain’t got no quit in me.

The dash is awesome!! Tell us more!

Young Man, That's a mighty sweet truck you're driving. The lighting scheme...inside and out...is great. But doesn't that one interior light get distracting? (The one that's overhead, slightly in front and to the left of you). I should think that constantly seeing that light in one's peripheral vision would be enough to make a preacher cuss.

I find it crazy that these are actually work trucks! Awesome love the vid keep the vids coming!

Awesome video. Love this pov but maybe a bit more angled towards road as well. Awesome vids and hope you keep uploading them!

Great video Bro, thanks for shared your story with us. That engine sounds beautiful. Blessings for you and family.

Ive seen a lot of nice trucks but damn that thing is gorgeous. Great build!

In my opinion if you’re a truck driver it’s explained good.

Amazing video brother👍👏

That's a beautiful truck

Awesome videos, thanks for sharing!

better view definately! great life story - very motivational! Can you sometime talk about approximate how much people would make per year in your experience? Also how much a truck like this would cost with all the modifications?

Good video fam love how you explain the twin stick shifting

Love your content keep it up bud

You ever think about going live on KZfaq? I’m a CarHauler for extreme out on the WestCoast and watch yt to pass the nighttime hours.

Great content my friend! You shift the hell out of the damn thing! Turn and Burn Bro!😎👍🏾👌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I live this view. I like story time too.

🐐🐐🐐

💯💯💯

Any thing with pov as long as I can see some road and gear banging I’m glued to the screen

Can you explain please when you use the Jay-break the Sound of that is so damn Dope man together with the Turbos. Yeah it's awesome you explain how to Shift because i don't get yet🥴🙆🏽‍♂️

Isn't there a better way to carry that load? I mean I know that this is the way you do it, but it obscures the real beauty of your truck! 🤔

i like your truck

Great video, what size and power is the CAT engine. It sounds great, never under pressure

What does your sleeper look like? What do you do on your down time while on the road? I like this view a lot better! I'm a sprint car pit crew member on a traveling race team. We take our fifth wheel camper with us. Thank you for another great video stay safe.

Good sir music

Great Video Ralphy...how many stages do you have on your Jakes ? Very familiar with this stretch of road - N75&N275. Stay safe driver !!

Man that thing shifts nice seems way forgiving than the browning 5 and 4 i had in my model A w900

This was a fantastic video. My two questions would be, How do you know when it’s time to down shift? And is the truck all wheel drive?

I know why you stab the throttle on the down shift, but not sure why you stab the throttle on the upshift? I prefer this view.

U said that’s a 23 389? How did u get rid of the awful digital dash? If u have time can u post a link to the dash kit? Or was it all custom. Love the videos brotha.

post the new rig boss!!!!!

How to the e-logs work for a car hauler? Are you guys still regulated on how many hours you can drive?

Back then they only had 6 cars carrier

Whats up Ralphy 🤛🏾 dope content as usual brother so if I'm observing correctly you get up to about 16 1700 rpm then shift? Then keep it at 1500? I'm just curious I've changed my shifting technique since watching you and I see a difference but im running a Cummins not as much power as you also a car hauler as well

What ever happened to the purple truck ?

If yall are back in flint on Thanksgiving PLEASE let me know so I can make sure yall get some turkey

Let’s goooooooooo ❤❤❤

What year 359 is that? Im gonna guess an 85?

What do you use for GPS?

do u use a eld or paper logs

Hello my name is Kevin M I had 3 friends that done the same as you are doing now

Why don’t semi’s have self canceling turn signals

Do you have any Diablo shirts

Couple things. Can't believe you split the bottom side of the transmission. Secondly that's a shit load of shifting for no reason. And third idk bout that dash. Having to reach over to flip toggles would get annoying. I get it. To each their own. But it sure seems like a lot of extra shit for a little bit of nothing. Most 18 speed transmissions you hardly ever if at all shift the bottom side of that transmission

Man I’d do anything to drive a truck like that. I drive a 389 stinger as well and I literally take money out of my paycheck some times just to make it a little nicer cause the owner does not care about it one bit 🫠

do u use a eld or paper logs
