Its all about what you enjoy driving and hauling. Its what makes you feel good doing during the day. Theres A TON of truck enthusiasts that love big peterbilts kenworths and love driving them. There are the guys that just enjoy driving any truck which could be the new plastic trucks. Which is fine! Then you have the individuals that absolutely hate driving truck but they have no brain power or skills to do absolutley anything else in life so they are a prisoner to the highway. Theres a large percentage that hang out on this forum for whatever reason which is absolutely weird.
Driving a w900 or 379 doesnt equate to little weener imo. When i see a long hood, i give them props. They enjoy their job and have pride in their ride.
What is it with Youtube celebrity truckers?

Look at this guy, what a piece of work. Red Viking Trucker. He's charging people $30-45 for "coaching sessions" when he has a whopping 3 years experience himself.
He's preying on people new to the industry, they could just do google searches or come here, Facebook groups, community college instructors, so many more free options for advice rather than paying this guy money.

How do u guys turn some of them truck and trailers around that got 12 and 13 axles on them . i was up at the ta in monroe mi about 1 week ago and was watching some guy turned his rig he had 4 seperate spread axles on his trailer maybe 6ft apart or so and he turned it around like a dry van , i almost threw up in my mouth, im guessing he was empty but still ... I bet when those things are loaded u couldnt turn very sharp if u wanted to . i always wanted to give it a shot on those type a trailer to see how they driver

About three years ago a driver pulled into a yard in OKC with a 45K lb blowout preventer on his 48' spread axle flatbed. Think a steel coil on stilts.
He then gets into a perfect 90° turn to get into position for the crane to unload him. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three out of his four trailer tires exploded on the turn. The shop had to call for an extra forklift to keep his trailer upright. That was a three hour fiasco.
He could have as easily stopped, backed up into a wide area on the dirt, then pulled forward without getting his trailer within 45° of his tractor.
He learned a lesson that day. Never EVER place side force on trailer tires on a spread axle unless your grandma told you to do it.
Then again, I never trusted grandma, GRHS.Last edited: Sep 11, 2019

I have snuck in some drift time in semis and even tried a trailer once until I found out it was not a good idea when it whipped around.
If the boss had seen that... he would have fired me so bad...Lepton1 Thanks this. -
