    That's good to hear, that was the 3rd cat in the family and all 3 have been money pit. The Ol man is an avid Cummins die hard so that's what we do. That last cat was just a deal from a friend. I question how good a friend he is after that experience

    Just wondering if the reefer fuel was figured into the mileage somehow.
    625 cat set at 550 hp pulling a reefer got 6,2 US gal, DPF and all.
    Idled when necessary.
    As for blowing up. well I won't go there.

    That's only in the US, everything in Canada is going down in flames.

    The Scottlyn trucks are a hilarious spec, 250WB W900's or 389's, MX13's with way to much gear, weed burner exhausts with big fake stacks, no aero cap, pulling fully loaded reefers with no skirts, always maxxed out, running 75mph@1750 rpm lol. (And they drive like complete kamikazes, because they prob have too).

    We have discussed them many times on here over the years, and since 2017, I know approx 5 drivers who have gone bankrupt working for them (2 even had youtube channels documenting it), just comedy anyone would even bother with them anymore at this point. But I always seen another new victim at the big Flying J on 114th in Calgary, fueling up a shiny new truck, going to pickup that "first load".

    He's doing great, because he's a US driver, and he's running in some of the best produce lanes in the US. From what I was told by US Scottlynn guys, while I was doing the reefer thing down south, was that the Florida/US operation, is run VERY differently from the Canadian side. That being said, Youtube and good Credit can make it look like anyone is doing great in trucking.

    I guess so he certainly has a nice home ,car and bike , you would hope since they are based out of canada they would take care of their canadian drivers as well .But that’s doesn’t seem to be the case

    Cars, houses, and bikes are vastly cheaper in the US. Also fuel and trucks including maintenance is cheaper.
    Also write off their house somehow.
    Different world down there.

    Don't forget, 40% less taxes on Average. Some states have no personal income tax lol.

    I also believe MAS has a video production company, and owns rights to a bunch of media.
