I apply speciality high white, UV resistance roof paint to my reefer trailer. This paint is formulated to block UV rays and lower the temperature of multiple surfaces from the sun. I'm not sponsored by this product. I will be testing this product and sharing the results in later videos. If you are interested, below is the link to the product from amazon. No affiliation link.

Load Rejected!! Apple Orchard Mafia Strikes Again!
I don’t even know you but I know enough to know that you know how it is. You have to have operating capital. A cushion. And, it’s more than most would guess. And that’s just to do business. Looking ready for action 👍👍
I drive for WFX but I don't do refeer
I've NEVER had an OLDER vehicle do this, BUT my 02 freightliner century beeped all the time. Itd beep for doors, itd beep for light, itd beep for rain... but there the removal of the GD beeper was easy! I had a '16 579 and now I'm on it 2nd 567 for this company and yeah. Bong, Bong, bong, I've got no idea how much sleep I've lost over these things either drinking coolant, OR just thinking that they are. Still, the temperature guage is NEVER in the red. So I'm not sure what is "protecting".
i USE A CRACK POT.
Sounds like my old football coach give it 118%😂 well he said 110 but
Give that reefer 110% and she gonna blow! lol it did not should happy bogging down with that much load on the engine. I thought it was going to let go.
Did you get the email I sent you?
@@DrivingByBraille I just found it!
Reefers get more and more condensate and are less efficient over time. Your insulation is probably full of condensate. Some shops will replace all your insulation, some are more reasonable (closer to the southern border) You can also take some foaming coil cleaner for ac units and clean the fins on your unit condenser and evaporator coils they get dusty and the dust holds moisture also traps heat and see if it improves the efficiency of the cooling.
Thanks. Seems like after hitting whatever is on the inside of the trailer with the pressure washer seemed to help tremendously. Ran it and tried to simulate what was happening. And it ran smooth without hiccups. I think the insulation should be fine. The trailer is Not even 10yrs old.
I’m wondering how long intervals between changes
Recommendation is 500k miles.
How fast are you pulling those hills and how much hp do you have and what rears
Depending on what hills. I did have a C16 tune in it 600hp 2050 torque. Ended up blowing the head gasket. But I could pull vail 78k lbs at 45-50mph. Now she has a 550 tune at 1850 torque and she can do about 35-40mph up vail. Has a 10spd with I believe 3.08 rears.
@@DrivingByBraille good stuff man my 6nz is tuned to 600hp 2050 torque 3:42 rears and a 13spd in it I haven’t really pushed it in the hills or mountains but I’m sure it would roll
Always hard to find a load out of Colorado.
Rip swing radius
We all make mistakes , I can say even after 40 years “ I’m not perfect “
I haven’t signed up to risk my business and spend my resources to make profits for the brokers and brewers for quite some time now. 👍 Meaning, I have deadheaded home from there, if I can’t find anything lighter that pays something.
Loads coming out of SLC paying $1900 not to bad eh 😉

I can’t go over to Uganda and vote. 😤
Office Space… Samir Nagheenanejad. Not that hard to pronounce 😂 If he goes from an office to trucking it’s definitely with Saltin Express. We got to laugh at it sometimes or we’ll go crazy as long as we keep fighting to make things right again. Be well Trucker, glad to see you know how to enjoy yourself OTR. My wife & I had fun like that when we drove together.
Haha “Nagha. Naha..Notta gonna matter” lol
Ah, the serene beauty of not giving a fuck about some poorly scheduled appointment.
Hey Mr RUclips, not sure if you’re aware but if you’re the one who replied to me on the cb it didn’t sound very good. I think you said “hey” but I couldn’t quite tell
Yes Sir. 👋🏻
Yea that’s some nice scenery, beats the hell outa Yermo where I’m at. Lol. 110°
That heat has been brutal. Been staying away from the south for that reason. This truck isn’t very happy anything above 100. This cab cannot stay cool. Try to keep cool. Sucks sitting in that heat.
Ohhhh look at me I'm hauling chocolate. Oh look at me I got free chocolate. Oh look at me I'm driving through Yellowstone 😂 man that's beautiful I'm so jealous!
Wish I had more time. Everytime I go through there, always on a time crunch
💯agree ! Your not a racist
Trucking used to be fun - cool , I’ve been driver 42 years now & you’re 💯trucking has been getting more & more worse every day
The self entitlement and lack of common sense is what is really making it hard out here.
Dey took or jerbs! Anybody complaining about you are saying that you're lying about the import drivers all they got to do is a quick Google search there's all kinds of information on how to sponsor foreigners to come work for your company and drive for you as well. They're literally doing it for the government subsidies and to save a little money off the bottom line paying these guys peanuts while they can't even read what the directions are in the construction zone it's dangerous and illegal we live in upside down world man
Yeah, wonder why all these foreigners are driving brand new T680 with their bumpers torn off. They just get another insurance company and more kickbacks!
Nice into and nice hood. It’s amazing how much work these trucks can be and with older models it can be hard to find parts. I’m paying a shop tomorrow for a job I should be able to do myself as well. In short it’s the throttle position sensor. It is not fun to drive when one of those can’t read your throttle position on hills. Hopefully it gets done and then I won’t have to stall for the 6’th time. Glad to see you’re decent 👌
I had to replace one on mine. Wasn't a huge job. I think on the Cascadia you have to replaced the whole pedal? probably on these newer trucks they can be a bitch. Yeah. Does weird things when they go out. I tell people to try and do as much as possible. I really should have done the starter myself. Pretty sure I had all the tools. $1,000 I could've saved. Oh Well.
@@DrivingByBraille Yeah that’s a bummer. I kick myself in the head all the time when I come to realize I should’ve done something sooner. But it happens. Update I my problem I’ve actually blew a head gasket and it was giving it the same symptoms as a faulty TPS would. So now it’s about to get reeeaaaaal expensive…
You are not racisit , you just making the sheep mad. Put it like this they get more priviliages than we get with the escape goat deal. American race is gone people have fucking feelings and fucking sheep for democrats sorry for language
FINALLY, a trucker comes out against the street shitters. Good on ya bud.
I don’t want to be disrespectful with my American friends but It’s funny when you guys are saying that we are taking your jobs away from Americans, when you guys don’t even like to work, the companies prefer immigrants just because we work harder “not all the Americans are lazy” But I never see an American working in the construction, landscaping, etc. About the CDL’S on my case as a Latino owner operator I came legal from South America 3 years ago, went to school for 4 weeks and buy my truck right away. It’s been a year and now I have 3 trucks. And I don’t think it’s possible to buy a license honestly.
Hi. So, how did the process for American citizenship go for you?
American business owners also don’t wanna pay top dollar. So they hire immigrants to keep more money in their pockets. Immigrants are cheap labor. Why America companies outsource EVERYTHING.
How did you get insurance with no CDL experience?
Using those Ukrainian insurance companies.
@@Nobluffbuff no, I have another status, I am not a citizen
Strange thing is I am an English truck driver here in the uk ,I cannot get a green card to drive a truck in the states .tried for years . How do all these non English speaking drivers get a job ?
Just need to come over. Say you’re scared of Charles 😀 get a free lic, luxury hotel room, phone, $5000 monthly debit card, free food.
@@DrivingByBraille we have that happening daily here in uk ,veterans sleeping on streets and illegal immigrants being put up in hotels
You're not racist... You're just ignorant, who needs to get b*tch slapped like the whiney b*tch you are.
Hi Driving By Braille! I really enjoy your content on trucking! I’ve developed a tool for OPs and carriers that helps control expenses and analyze fleet finances. I think it could benefit your viewers. How about we discuss a collaboration? Thanks and keep making awesome videos!
Sorry man, I don't promote things. I think I saw you doing an interview I believe awhile back on someones channel. Don't remember who. Looks like a cool app. But I don't do interviews or collabs at this time. Sorry, Good luck. You can leave a link if you want.
Hi. Fuck you. You're a shit face. :)
The shops are busy enough they have no incentive to try to be competitive.
If it is set at 60 degrees that is why it won’t defrost
Was set at 55° but did not know that. It’s not doing it now. Does it have to be set below a certain temp? I dropped it to 40 and it went into defrost come to think of it
@@DrivingByBrailleI believe so
Staging lot like a real business. What a novel approach!
I have got some starter stories for ya one of these days 🙄
I think there is a video. But I was trying to change the starter on the Mack. Had 2 extensions on it. was using a power ratchet. ended up losing the bolt to the started, but also ran the ratchet right into the Oil filter housing, couldn't switch directions because the switch is on the back of the ratchet. Was new to all this. Ended up cracking the aluminum oil filter housing trying to get it out. Never did. Ended up taking it to a shop. Had to pull the turbo, EGR cooler and exhaust to get to the filter housing. Was an expensive ordeal.
How's that burning lithium in the air been treating you all? Sure is gonna be a clean green future 😆
On the paint job u did I done the same but after couple days I got a clear coat over n is been shining for a year now I just wanted to tell that
Thanks! I wanted to put another coat on it. Will do that when I go home and hopefully they have the paint back in stock. And then throw a clear coat on her.
Are you legal to run in CA? I have the same truck and have been told that I cannot run in CA. Is there still a temporary permit for 1000mi to run pre-emission in CA? Thanks
No I don’t run. Don’t want to run. And I think they can fine you.. or turn you around? Not sure on what they are doing to non-compliant trucks. But I do know they are making it fall on the broker. So unless you send in a carb complaint letter or whatever they are asking for. Now, if you’re leased onto a carrier who has carb complaint trucks and brokers already know your carrier is good, might be able to sneak in? Be interesting to know
Labor rate to work on the truck $175 per hour. Then the industry only wants to pay $100 hour to operate the truck. It just doesn't add up. Labor rate to replace your starter should have been half that much in my opinion.
Agree. It was a stupid move and regret not doing it myself.
@@DrivingByBrailleYou want a business that you can trust to treat you right so it’s like, yeah I need to get this done or it worse. But I will say this, once you do that starter a half dozen times you will never be afraid of it again.
hi
👋🏻
I like comments...comments are good.
Another great video brother
Walmart for the win🎉
Wish all the Walmarts had on-site parking. A lot of people complain about Walmart. I've never had an issue. The check in procedure is always the same, and the people actually seem to enjoy their job.
@@DrivingByBraille it would be great for yall since they're so strict on appointment times! I get to park anywhere there hahaha
@ThisTruckingLife can I use that email address on your page? Vertsvideos?
@@DrivingByBraille yes!
The heat is not helping out the wildfires out there I seen the fire map be safe driver... I'm at the part where you said you're going to Wisconsin no fire there right now LOL
I've hauled produce my whole career.... Loading hot onions is completely normal. Unless it's winter 😂
Like the intro
What AC unit did u use on the top ?
🥳👍👍thats the same thing my X told me! I was handsome @ a distance? just squish him!
I jave a 2020 and just got it December. Nothing but problems
Nice intro! And I got a story about those guys that do 5 mph through the lot. So these guys will pull right out in front of us in our lot... knowing they're not going to go over 5 mph and knowing that we can do 15 in most Lots. It's me me me out here
Yup. It’s amazing. Zero respect out here anymore.
You could probably put a good coat of wax on the rest and would shine better. Little sisters in Barstow will buff the paint fairly reasonably too.
Haha I just rattle canned the hood, think I care about waxing the truck? And Cali is a no go for me. There is one in Eloy, AZ But I’m going for the rat look. This truck needs wayyyy too much work to make it look good. As long as the engine and transmission works, I’m happy 👍🏻 maybe one day if I ever start making extra money I can waste. It’s a tool, not a show truck. 😀
@@DrivingByBraille yea I know u aren’t trying to make it a show truck but would take the cloudiness out. A couple truck washes the rattle can paint may match anyway. Lol Regardless it’s to fukn hot to be worried about any of it right now. I was up by mammoth earlier and it was 72°. Felt amazing
@@ScottArmas107 already starting to match 😂. Yes, been a killer. Driving across South Dakota yesterday 107! WTF
@@DrivingByBraille I’ll be sleeping in Bieber, CA tonight, says a low of 48°. That’s gonna be amazing if so.
