videos | at work | information | view | construction

1. do you need a CDL if so was it difficult to get?
2. hey how old do u have to be to become a transport operator
3. How many gears are there in the truck
   
4. The one I operated in Cali topped out at 55mph on flat ground. They put govern the engines so you can't go much faster than that. Still fun to play with.
    
5. Seemed like you were pretty close to topped out even on that country road; truck's definitely not a highway rig for sure ;)
6. For that type of dump truck do you need a cdl for it and if not what steps do I take to get one? Powerskeeter28@gmail.com.
7. Fuck using that clutch every shift
8. I want to find and buy 3 Deuce's paint them tan and have 2 friends make a convoy
9. I noticed you using the clutch, does the Spicer 5 speed float the gears easily? 
10. My M817 weighs in empty at about 24,000lbs add 10 Tons or another 20,000 a gross of 44,000 or 22 Tons.
11. Military rates it as 5 Tons off road combat conditions and 10 Tons highway the military data plate is on the dash. I have had 11.5 tons in the bed with bed extension and in mud to the axles and kept on a trucking. But with the short wheel base no way would I ever get caught at 60,000lbs as DOT on bridge limits and axle spacing would land you a hefty ticket!
12. Not only does it have natural A/C but it can be a hard top , rag top, or convertible! I own one and it gets strange looks in the convertible mood when ya haise the bed.
13. nope
14. Nothing like that cool Kenworth you were driving on the road
15. Did you tag it?
16. this is exactly why i love this channel keep the old machinery going for as long as you can!
17. yeah the buy-in on those military trucks are pretty cheap, I would say. Ah, as I said before, in my eyes it's a great truck for you guys. 
18. Count them.
19. second I think
20. its all natural!
