[00:01:26]Turn right, then you'll take your first right into the parking lot. Heat. Heat.

[00:01:56]Heat.

[00:02:22]Heat.

[00:02:28]Mhm.

[00:02:38]Heat. Heat.

[00:03:22]Turn right on County Route 30.

[00:03:28]>> All right.

[00:03:29]how I do this.

[00:03:37]All right.

[00:03:39]So, if the total weight is 75,860, I need to find what weight is on the drive tires. You see those those tires in the back of the trailer? Those are called drive tires. That is a number I don't know. It has legally it has to be under 34,000 pounds. If it's over 34,000 pounds and I drive, um, an officer can give me a ticket that'll show up my license. My license history is my resume in this job.

[00:04:12]So, I can't have that happen. So, what we're going to do, we're going to add up 11,160, the numbers that we do know, subtract it by the total weight of the truck, trailer, everything in it, the fuel, everything, plus 32,920 minus 75,860.

[00:04:41]And that'll give us the weight that is on the drive tires. Now, of course, this is just an estimate, but being that it's so far from 34,000 lb, this is under 12,000 lb. This is under so far from 34,000 lb.

[00:05:03]It's good. It's an estimate, but with 2,000 lbs safety net, I'm going to I'm going to drive.

[00:05:13]I feel very confident that I am within the legal limits.

[00:05:33]Hello Hello. Good morning.

[00:05:37]>> Uh, big job. Can I get three drive tires replaced? They're really low on trade.

[00:05:44]>> Three drive tires?

[00:05:45]>> Yeah.

[00:05:48]>> It'll be a little bit of a wait. I have one more tire in front of you, but I do get some help at 10.

[00:05:53]>> That's fine. What's >> your phone number?

[00:05:58]>> Tractor 2134.

[00:06:00]>> Yeah. for Marvin Keller truck.

[00:06:05]>> Are they blown out or low tread?

[00:06:07]>> No, they're like they're 132 seconds. I measured them. So, >> and what's the positions of the tires?

[00:06:14]>> Um the two front axle drive tires on the driver's side and then there's one on the passenger side, rear axle, inner tire.

[00:06:29]And then for the company I have >> let me double check for you.

[00:06:43]>> Yep.

[00:06:44]>> Okay.

[00:06:46]>> I will give you a call.

[00:06:48]>> Okay. And then it's Saturday. So I'll give you the after hours number too because I don't think they're they're going to be there.

[00:06:59]our after hours numbers.

[00:07:03]>> Perfect. Thank you.

[00:07:06]>> Okay.

[00:07:08]>> That'll be about an hour and a half.

[00:07:11]>> That's fine.

[00:07:12]>> All righty.

[00:07:13]>> Thank you.

[00:07:13]>> Okay.

[00:07:14]>> These are the tires I'm talking about.

[00:07:18]132. 132. Look how thin they are.

[00:07:24]Now, this one on the passenger side, I didn't even measure.

[00:07:28]But I mean, comparing that to the ones on the other side, they look pretty similar.

[00:07:35]Look at that one.

[00:07:40]And it has spots where it's uneven. So, like right here is really, really low and right here is like cupped.

[00:07:49]It's from the bad alignment that the truck had that we had to fix and then that caused it to wear unevenly.

[00:07:58]So, everything's getting changed and hopefully this truck will finally stop having problems, but I doubt it.

[00:08:42]Oh gosh.

[00:08:44]Jeez.

[00:08:48]So they put all direction tires on the drives. Took GBT said, "No, I won't get a DT violation."

[00:09:02]I mean, which are these things right here?

[00:09:08]These are all direction tires. These are what are supposed to be on there.

[00:09:17]But, you know, they ran out of these and so they only had these, which sucks. I I wish I wish the shop would have told me that I would have driven this to a different a different shop that actually had the right tires.

[00:09:39]But it's still legal. If an officer pulls me over and inspects the truck, I'm passing.

[00:09:46]So, at the end of the day, I guess that's what it matter. That's what matters. But if you're going to spend money on equipment, you want to get the right equipment, you know? So, yeah.

[00:10:10]is what it is. That's a part of the job.

[00:10:13]That's shocking.

[00:10:18]Any of you wondering what it's like to get shocking, this is a good example.

[00:10:24]Expect one thing, get another. That's what it is.

[00:10:32]Let me go check the trailer.

[00:10:38]We're good >> Wall Street professional.

[00:10:53]>> But the question becomes if you have all those team >> five of you guys at the table with me.

[00:10:56]What's the sell through? What's your total >> saying?

[00:11:40]I ran out of the truck. I was only checking in the office for like maybe 5 minutes and the truck ran out of air when I came back. So, I can't move.

[00:11:57]The air in the semi-truck is what releases the brakes. It doesn't have air and the brakes turn on.

[00:12:06]It's an air brake system. It's not like a car.

[00:12:11]But I've noticed that the camels have been getting generally lose air quickly. I don't know why.

[00:12:52]My guy changed the tires.

[00:12:55]He took these off.

[00:12:59]I noticed that tire was low.

[00:13:02]So, I'm like, "Oh, he probably didn't install these right."

[00:13:05]Lo and behold, look at how much I had to tighten it.

[00:13:13]Can't trust anyone's work, man.

[00:13:17]Can't do it.

[00:13:19]I know this one.

[00:13:29]This one good.

[00:13:45]This one's not even connected.

[00:13:54]Oh my gosh.

[00:14:01]Okay, I see why it's not connecting now.

[00:14:04]This is a pain.

[00:14:08]But this one has so much wiggle room.

[00:14:10]Why is this one not having wiggle room?

[00:14:16]It's not connected, right?

[00:14:20]It's not screwed on, right? Yeah.

[00:14:27]That's why it's a screw on to the right. Oh, that's left.

[00:14:54]I fixed it. Oh yeah, that thing is a pain to put on, man. I see why I didn't put it on. The mechanic didn't put it on.

[00:15:07]Hey, it came loose.

[00:15:30]P tire is good.

[00:15:37]Truck needs a wash.

[00:15:41]It's It's working.

[00:15:45]Wash fluid's good.

[00:15:48]ATF fluid's good.

[00:15:52]This is tight.

[00:15:55]These things are on. Castle nut cotter pin. Castle nut cotter pin.

[00:16:03]Brakes are good.

[00:16:06]Wiring good.

[00:16:30]All right, they're all done.

[00:16:34]I don't want to get locked out.

[00:16:36]Leave the window down.

[00:16:40]Only here for about an hour. It's pretty quick.

[00:16:53]But yeah, overall, oh my gosh, my straps.

[00:17:01]Oh my gosh.

[00:17:03]Overall, I hope you got a good look into like what the life of a trucker is really like.

[00:17:12]I tried to like not talk as much as possible so that way you can form your own opinions about the job. If you're thinking about getting to the job, the industry, uh, just expect to to face this pretty much every day.

[00:17:27]Going to truck's going to break down, going to miss appointments. It's not perfect.

[00:17:33]Oh my gosh.
