Drove buy as it was going up sad happy too see driver was safe.

Watching those loaders when loading a truck...its been years since i sat in a truck getting loaded ...but you vmcqn almoast feel the load going on just watching ..you can feel the sat beneeth you and the truck as it shakes a bit .. brings plenty of memories

I’ll never forget the morning we got the call one of our shops was fully engulfed in flames. Two trucks were inside along with some miscellaneous equipment. Definitely a gut wrenching experience

WOW your correct that’s depressing seeing it burnt up. Glad Tommy’s ok trucks can be replaced.

Sad day when you lose a truck! That one was a good one. Nice work by Waltham Fire on the stop.

My condolences to the AC family on your loss, shout out to the Brothers and Sisters of Waltham Fire for what they were able to do on making a stop before it got any further.👍🙏🇺🇸🚛🚒

What a damn shame! Glad the driver wasnt hurt though. Take care Mike. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.

Man I used to love when you would drive that truck and listening to that CAT! Was one of my favorites, hate to see it go.

Daaaaamn bro i know that sucks a**, but like you said as long as no one got hurt the t-800 can be replaced 🤦

Sorry about the loss of such a nice truck , at least no one was hurt ! 😢🍺

I feel you, we lost a truck this past summer on RT 3, best truck i've beared witness to, it got almost 8 MPG

Wow! Good thing that wasn't in the shop with the other trucks. Thanks for the video Mike.

Going to miss the sound of that whistle of the t800

Mike, sorry you guys lost the T 800. Most important thing is nobody got hurt that could have turned out really bad.

I will always be your friend & R.I.P. T800...Love Ya Man

Your an example of a truly dedicated and responsible employee. Its not your equipment but you treat it as if it was and together a reputation develops and respect is earned. Probably a foolish question but have you seen the million mile mark

I know she looks rough right now, but I think she could be the perfect candidate to retire with a glider kit. Won't be the "same" but can still honor the legacy of what she once was. I always look for blessings in disguise.

Sad for the T800! I'm glad nobody was hurt!!

unfortunate for the T800... 😧 old guy at the quarry here told me once there are two types of end dumps, Mike. ones that have tipped over, and ones that will.... LOL be careful my friend!

sending thoughts and prayers 2 the cardillo family and those involved in the fire.thankfully no one was hurt.remember folks trucks r replaceable people arnt.

Oh man that sucks but as you say at least everyone is ok, maybe something can be salvaged and hung somewhere in the shop or office along with some pictures.

i'am with you and most of the country Mike we all hate day light savings. I will be looking forward to your trip.I agree Captain.That's is a shame about that truck.

Holy shit. Glad everyone’s okay. You guys take care of the equipment. I’m surprised and saddened that happened.

Hi Mike glad nobody got hurt as long as the motor checks out Good it will be a great project stay safe pal

Man that sucks and I seen this truck up close at the shop and she was a beautiful truck.

Honestly, you could probably save the motor out of that. Have it checked for heat cracks etc and rebuild it completely. That core alone is like 10-15k I believe at a CAT store.

Equipment can be replaced. Human lives cannot! Glad to see no one got hurt. Could the frame in the front be checked, then get a new cab/hood/powertrain? I loved the videos you made of that little truck.

You've obviously never sent a piece of asphalt into the cab with you when the glass is up lol. That'll change your mind real quick haha.

Mop & Glow! All the way! Nice tribute ending!

Yeah it’s sad when you lose a truck we just lost one to a fire last week. We don’t know what happened to it but it just caught fire and are thankful no one got hurt. The worst part is the truck was almost as clean as the t-800 and the C-15 had just gotten rebuilt. It’ll definitely make you sick.

Sorry about the T-800 mike!at least no one was hurt!

What do we do with the daylight we save ? I still have some left over from last year and I’m running out of room.😂⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mike, we are now on Standard Time, we just changed back FROM Daylight Saving Time.

Nice tribute to the T8O0!!

Im sure that i loaded that trailer plenty of times at Newport Materials some years back with that truck. One of the better looking trucks that came into the yard.

Mike you will hate the sound of the new truck, because it'll be to quite at first but then you'll love it

So so glad everyone was safe. It’s funny how you connect with things you don’t know and people you never met. That truck is like a fixture on this channel. It’s been there ever since I can remember. I’ve been following you since the beginning and if I remember correctly you showed off that truck in a video you did way back when.

Mike if you haven't tried Chem-X's Stars and Stripes with a foamer/pressure washer yet I think you'd really like it. We're in the mud and dusty pits like you and when I use that the trucks come out looking hand washed. Don't know how it does it!

Couldn't think of a better cameraman (trucking industry representative) to tour the kenworth facility!

I could see the Cardillo boys rebuilding the T800. Rising out of the ashes so to speak.

You can make it better than what it was. Better, stronger, faster! The 6 million dollar Kenworth.

Alternator wires? No one got hurt? Not the videos I like but it a reality.maybe the 900 will stay in the fleet . (900 sent out a omen). Good work Mike! And crew.

Now is the correct time. We just ended daylight savings .

Sad loss That was a great tractor

It’s a shame we couldn’t get together on Monday, I was really looking forward to it. Maybe we can reschedule for June and try again. Sorry to hear about the T 800 was a great truck. Sad to see it go out like that.

If that truck had jump posts on the frame behind that steer tire that is most likely where it started. The company I worked for lost 2 trucks that way.

Love ❤️ the way you keep your truck clean, she's a beauty! And you're right, it doesn't take long and it really is part of the job. Sorry for the loss of the 800 man. The most important thing is no-one was hurt. But......truck is still part of the family, even though it's just a chunk of steel. And in reality, it's not impossible to re-build this truck. Stay safe my friend!😊

Your company should cut off the rear end since it wasn't damaged and attach it to the old autocar. That would definitely make a great show truck. Be safe.

Mike- You're starting to get the hang of backin up. JM

Some say trucks can be replaced, but it stinks too lose something with so much sentimental value.

Mike you are definitely a wheel man backed that dump trailer right in there

When you keep up on cleaning it goes quick ! When you only wash once a month it will take you 2 - 3 - 4 hours to get it clean

Mike thank god nobody got hurt much more success to you'your company

You'd think with that many years experience you should know by now that you can't be on top of your trailer in places like that. Doesn't matter who the captain is. You of all KZfaq truckers should know that one Mike

UP or Ovah.... It all comes out. That's what Bob Wood always told us !

Thanks for the show Mike 🍻 🇦🇺

Its always the trucks with cats that go up. We lost 2 peterbilt/cats same way. Sad to see.

Ahh no no no so sorry for your loss of that BEAUTIFUL rig driv,ah

The 6nz block and crank are probably alright a frame can and front Axel and the truck would be brand new

Sad to see a beautiful KW ho up in smoke.😢

We flew in on that Thursday and yes, the weather was terrible, the traffic was awful trying to leave the airport. We took a trip to Beacon Hill to go to the bar that inspired the cheers TV show. I made a wrong turn so it ended up being a three hour trip to go do something for 10 minutes.

That's just so heartbreaking, sorry to you guys loosing the T800. Like you said Mike,it's a good thing the driver got it off the HWY , stopped & driver is ok & no one got hurt. That just sucks.

sorry about the loss of such a nice Kenworth t800 thankfully know body was hurt that was a nice truck rip t800 rest in peace

thanks 4 the ride sorry about your truck

Very sad to see that..Just glad the driver got over to the shoulder and got out. Hats off to the fire dept. for getting it put out fast..

Sucks but it could be put back together with enough parts. Shame to lose a good truck. Driver out safe is what matters, trucks are sadly replaceable, people are not.

Bummer on fire. Glad people are ok....

Sorry about the 800 Mike as long as no one was hurt it can be replaced that’s why I’m not a new truck fan to much crap to go haywire in them I live in NJ and I’ve seen a few new rigs burning alongside Route 80 . I’ll take a old truck any day

Man what are you talking about dont have that many freinds everybody knows the Boston Trucker your know world wide .

Love the T800. Sad to see it in that state. But life must go on. At least it wasn’t one of those electric trucks. Or it would still be on fire. No joke.

Old cold start sounds rough…believe that red motor is ready for a yellow motor swap lol

Beautiful trucks 😊

Nothing like spotting loam with a dumptrailer, been there down that ,lol

Daylight savings just ended Mike.

What the heck is going on with all the truck fires and tractors burning up anymore??!! Wasn't too long ago you hardly ever heard of or saw a tractor burned up. What in the world!!

“Got a power steering leak” yeah me too and its bad lmao

Wow , that's too bad.

Hey Mike,, I have worn a hole in the carpet underneath my computer desk floor from jamming the brakes on to bam the tail gate after dumping out each time and also find myself giving the highball wave to the other trucks leaving the pit,? 😅 I'm 74 and getting senile for sure,,Lol !

Hello friend- Peace and grease and Save the manuals. JM

😟💔t800😭😤que Dieu vous protège vous votre famille et votre entreprise 🇺🇸🇫🇷

Awww man poor t800, they say "least nobody got hurt, trucks can be replaced" while that's true, memories can't be replaced, great sounding truck Try the chem-x tire shine next time

Tim Gentry from Gentry & Sons could take that 6NZ Cat engine and throw it in a other truck and have it running by by Saturday afternoon

When's your new truck going to be done for you Great video once again by you keep them coming

Darn shame! A nice truck, not as clean as yours (before the crash). I hope it was insured!

It suck’s loosing a piece of equipment,but that truck being that old probably paid for it’s self many times.

Sorry that your truck caught on fire. But glad it wasn't a Peter built.

I like your truck it's very nice truck I like that

ChemX tire and trim. I highly recommend it. My truck sat for about a year in the shop or outside while it got repaired(was totaled before got in it) and all sorts of crud got stuck to the rubber. Everything else I tried just soaked in and they looked like garbage. This stuff lasts about a week and a half at least 3 washes) before I need to apply again it’s less and less product every time.

I’m not cryin 😢you’re crying 😢

I used to deliver to Siegel Egg 🥚 in BillERica but I didn’t deliver Loam😅

That's crazy.

Before Common Rail fuel systems you hardly saw any truck fires. Nowadays any kind of highway truck wreck or fuel system breakdown results in a fire. Plus the T-800's seem to be susceptible to electrical fires. I drove for one fleet with 45 T-800's parked at 4 yard locations, and during the 4 years I worked there 3 of the T-800's burned down just parked overnight

I'm surprised you don't plug your tricks in mike,I would love to be your friend just too far away, I'm 2hrs from where I live in ct

Okay. I just tuned in I'll be quiet and wait for the rest of the story! Geeze. No matter what? Youz can't just grab a Penske with a wet line

Hi, such a bugger to lose such a sentimental truck, Maybe a restoration project?

New Kenworth Dealership or Shop going up in Middleton. It’s probably done already.

I don't care what anyone says, trucks have a soul 😢❤

I lost a 3 week-old Pete 379 on the Grape Vine. 1986 I know the pain. 3 fire bottles didnt help none.

Good news is that truck can be rebuilt.

Hy hope you're doing well great video. Iam in the uk wondering what your truck earnings are for a average week
