clutch okay then you push drive when you get the clutch in push it okay it hooked up okay you got
your brakes off check double check your brakes all the time let it out about halfway till it
starts to move and then hold it okay let it out now go just get your foot on the throttle go right
on these remember stay right there you need to get on here and then you'll cut it so you're kind of
left on this road and then you go deep and right but you're gonna have to check the highway for
all right look good keep looking hey drift long
we're on the road hello welcome to Kate's Ag today is super exciting because i'm driving our red
tandem truck and it was actually one of the first trucks i've ever driven so that was super exciting
i am driving to the canadian border again so to sunburst and that's 75 miles
up and 75 miles back so a long road trip we are hauling barley today
today i'm driving a tandem truck not on my truck and it's just a little bit smaller and then also
the trailer goes up instead of jumping from the bottom your trailer will go all the way
up with a button inside this is a freightliner truck and it's really fun to drive the whole
thing about driving this drug skate is staying ahead of what's going on knowing what you're
going to be doing before you get there so you see certain markers coming up like the airport hill
we know we're going to shut the crews off at the top crest before the top so we get to 45
at the top of that hill and then you start braking on the way down to get this truck swap down yes
what are tag axles they put an extra set of wheels on the road to allow you to haul more away oh okay
i want you to know who's behind you who's in front of you how fast they're going
whatever whatever they were gaining on this guy but he ain't gonna make no difference
to us because we're only going up to the top of the hill yeah calling weight like this cake you
got to be way ahead of the truck just like airplanes you've got to know what's gonna
be happening up there not where you're at okay when we get ready i want you to
shut the cruise off okay when i tell you ready don't don't you're not yeah
how fast are you going 62. i want to cross you on 45 shut it off now read speed to me uh 55 50.
start breaking a little bit light break break break break again a little bit more
drift left on this start slowing down more more in your left lane a little bit you're gonna go
right right yeah okay look up there and look down here okay now just drift it long a little bit
see if somebody's leaking something here yep okay you got this truck barked on the right
here so you're gonna have to be left when you go by here okay yes slow down a little
bit for this corner because you got all this stuff going on right now slow down son more
more more more stick it into gear with the club okay start your turn now you got nobody
coming turn stay on that side of it stay over here and then go way over to the other side
before you make this turn okay whoa turn don't be so throttling happy
when it turns to the right inject your mirrors but stay right on this don't throw right out
anybody coming no stay right nobody's coming just angle on
okay yes unless you're going really slow as soon as you get on behalf
i should have put him in when we were leaving
um a semi truck a little bit behind me okay then you're gonna want to not really close though
just let it roll how fast 54. turn on your blinker so they know what
a truck he needs to know ahead of time he's not a car right did he move out he's passing okay
now i'll start drinking a little bit how do you know for sure when the wheels are down
well i don't but the switch says they are and they work before so you can't back up
with these little wheels now ever okay where are they on the truck they're right behind these cabs
okay keep driving and you went up here last time you got another river bottom to cross right before
showing what was going on um picking up speed oh a construction i know an accident is what it was
no it's an incident but that's besides the point it's still there so you're gonna be understanding
that okay not gonna get caught in the situation where we're zooming with the whole truck onto
a lightly loaded truck that's slowing down heavily we have to slow down before we get there
yes the cars in front of us they're california and nebraska okay well that's
noticing sunburst is nine miles away and it's nine miles from the canadian border also oh darcy oh
no train today lucky mega
you can see the scale where the metal strip is along the end so we're going to
cruise up almost to that green thing and then we're going to lightly stalk
okay okay so it's going to be clutch neutral clutch braid lightly neutral at the same time
is that polar press i made it i made it to sunburst which is super exciting right now i'm
sitting in the freightliner truck i drove up here and we're going to go in and tell them we're here
are we good to go yeah okay thank you
oh my gosh there are those wheels right there that's why we took that extra exit so we could put
them down and it just helps stabilize the truck wait for the brakes to unlock okay now ease it out
okay now just let it off go back to the throttle drive that was a pretty
good clutch okay when i drive that kid i slide my foot over up against the thing
to stabilize your foot right so you know where is the seat
i'll drive over oh no there's someone okay stop watch break can you hold the clutch yep
i can okay now think about getting natural easy easy oh that was the first time i ever did that
i didn't know you could do that so you can go and take a right you can go clutch and break without
putting it in neutral you can but you haven't got a leg for the clutch game so you can't do you you
know if you're going to be anywhere a while or something you got to be ahead of this we're going
to go around that thing and come in just like dean is so we're going around that silver deal
on the right back on the right or left side which way get on the brake which way this way
yes same as you did last time the black semi truck that i drove last time is now here dumping barley
and dean our other employees driving that okay you want to go a little longer just a little bit
start your turn you're not as long as that guy but still need to be long over here more clutch
right here yeah well now clutch brake neutral whew i made it oh no what's going on there there
was barley spilling out of that right there oh my gosh that's crazy so that must be the
bin it's going into right it's probably full so he's probably changing and there's dean right
there this one has a really small pit so i have to be really careful when i drive the truck up
to the pit and watch closely so this truck has a different trailer than when i was driving it
because it broke an axle but we still needed to haul barley so my dad rented a trailer so what
made the barley fly out of the bin it was full oh my gosh we switch into another bin okay now
as soon as you're be looking for him to stop you in the mirror okay clutch you're going too fast
oh no stop break you can't roll what's he doing forward or back
i don't know which way he did i don't know he's going like this
i don't know what to do because when i get off the brake it goes
let the clutch out to catch the truck and then get off the brakes okay
push your clutch break push the button okay put it in neutral push the clutch in further
spray hold up hold up block debris
this button push it
let me think for a minute okay katie's full she's stolen it is it's kate's fault i think i am
i'll try this one more time i don't know why this is doing this
it just did it you know but yeah these were a fleet truck i got about three of them
okay i have to look at this a minute who's you got people coming right now
no is that you're you're it till darcy gets done go ahead and turn that on we'll see what happens
otherwise we gotta figure something out oh i feel terrible that i did that maybe we'll just give it
a couple minutes and let it sit for a second and i'll maybe i'll crawl in here and look but i'm not
knowing that you couldn't start this pulling it i just don't know if it would go into gear so he
said they got a selling weight up on the firewall here that 99 percent of the time the problem
well i think it's i think it might be this see i think it's that it's selling right off the starter
but now that we did that that engaged the starter it might go now that's what i'm wondering
yay oh my gosh you know now i know a little bit more than i did before but i didn't understand
let me pull this
see the blinking quits hold the break it's working
oh what a relief now you got to put the dpo in put the dpo in
push down in here yeah then let the clutch out then we'll see what he tells us
and do i have to sign yeah okay oh awesome thank you
driver's signature again i got to sign oh my gosh oh my gosh that's so exciting i got to sign for it
but i feel terribly sad that i stalled it out but it's all okay now so i feel much better
yeah it's blinking all right now it's not well just ease it out till you start to feel the
truck move and then hold the hold it okay now you got it you need it need the clutch anymore
well i hope you enjoyed today's video although it was a little bit of a rough time in sunburst what
happened was i stalled the truck when i was trying to figure out how to go forward with the brake
because if i had the brake knot on the truck would roll backwards before i got it to go forward so
i sawed it out and we couldn't get it back started so the stalling out part was my fault the truck
not starting that wasn't my fault but we got it started in the end and that's what matters so
that's super great and i had yet another great truck lesson so i'm becoming a little bit more
comfortable with driving these big trucks today i drove our freightliner tandem truck so a tandem
truck the box lifts up in the back with the levers in the cab so a semi truck is much longer and
it dumps from the bottom rather than lifting up to done i'll give you a little inside tour
you've got your water temperature oil you've got your rpms your speedometer fuel gauge you've got
your brakes reverse neutral drive this truck also has an auto shift all of my dad's semi trucks and
tandem trucks have auto shift this one is also a sleeper but it doesn't have the double bunker so
it's not really tall got my clutch pedal down here and here's my blinker and then this is my steering
wheel so that's the little tour of this red and white freightliner truck we have it was definitely
scary after i stalled it and we couldn't get it started because we were right on the pit so where
you dump at and fortunately that elevator didn't have any other trucks coming other than darcy
but darcy was on his way back here so we had a little bit of time it took us about 40 minutes
to get it going my dad had to call freightliner but it worked out in the end and i also have my
kate's egg tobig which i always bring with me now i had about three with me today so this is what
