Big rig trucker #2 Accidents and Ambitions

First I would like to thank you for watching this video “Big Rig Trucker ep:2″ it means a lot to me. The video was captured about two months ago, I should have produced this earlier but got sick and lost my drive. I will work hard to produce this on a much more regular basis.

This episode captures one h3ll of a trip that Sean Sutherland and I had across I 90/ I 94. It was really trying for the both of us, Sean had a sever ear infection that started to bleed, I was at the time getting over a cold myself. During the trip I had multiple tire failures and breakdowns, coupled with the many near accidents we where able to avoid lets just say we where happy to see the trip completed at the end. However, I learned a lot along the way, even with the bad I would do it all over again!!

    I do like the design of this web-site Steve (better than mutetube!!), and looking forward to more of these videos from you.

    also hope everything is going good for you on the driving front as well, just umming and ahhing on whether to teach my cousin how to drive a car, been thinking about it for a while, but insurance had been a big issue. but now she is over 25, then it is only quid, instead of hundreds.

    so in the process of buying a banger to teach her in, plus it will do for me to run around in, in the mean time.

    any good tips? like keeping the seatbelt off to jump out quickly, and super gluing my mouth shut, and such like would come in handy!!

    nah, I am quite a calm person, just petrified at the pedistrian as he bounces off the bonnet of the car, I will swear a few times before we hit him!!!

    Wow. ya go to me driver, and you’ve inspired me to make a video. I watched a couple of your vids so far, and your right. the hardest part is the beginning of the trip. in my case, it’s the middle of the trip, because i get to stop at home while coming and going. I wish I could have been there for you with your light problem, im an expert at truck wireing. well, semi expert. ha ha. after 30 years of ,32 years of living a truckers life, Speed Safely Driver.

  25. Nope they don’t let us.. Say it is a liability! There was a time I suppose but we’re really spoiled most truckers in the states cry about the delay if only they new you guys work your asses off they would appreciate the fact they got it easy. At least in that respect!

  37. 1xp4wq says:

    apocalyptica is a great band and Corey Taylor is a Great singer.They should do more stuff togehter.Over here in Europe they dont change tires like that first guy did.A truck comes along with brand new tires and rims and they take the old rim and tire and give you a new rim and tire..You just pay for the tire and job to change it.Which takes a few minutes if the guy knows his thing.
