@grantwaite22724 years ago I don’t get how there is so many of y’all going on here complaining about Bruce selling unfinished projects or that he’s not a real trucker. First of all he does this because he enjoys it and it’s for our entertainment. Last time I checked Bruce buys all these projects with his money not ours. Yeah when you watch his videos you are in a sense paying him but youtube is free entertainment... sounds like a good deal to me. If you don’t think there are people out there that like semis and just the overall appeal of owning and hauling loads for fun then your just naive. You don’t have to be a know it all hard core trucker to want do these things or actually learn them. And remember Bruce went through CDL school so pretty sure he’s qualified enough to be doing anything an OTR trucker does. You never learn anything until you get out there and try it for yourself. So all the haters can go fuck themselves because if you wanna keep watching then you’re only supporting someone who you don’t wanna actually support. ... 300

@jondough29724 years ago This channel reminds me of being a little kid and taking stuff apart and not being able to put it back together so you figure out a way to blame somebody else for it being broken or just get rid of it 85

@ronaldmoore23364 years ago a little piece of help from my old flatbed driver. hang some mud flaps on your headache rack underneath your chains you don't have all that banging noise back there. Other than that you doing a great job. 7

@watchjaredwork14874 years ago I love how you threw in that you’re giving up on the Air Force truck at the last second there lol can’t say I didn’t see that coming. 117
@

@Iamsmallfry4 years ago Just a word to the wise, when hooking a trailer, you should back under it, but stop before it latches, get out and lift the landing gear off the ground so when you do back into the pin, there’s no light between the 5th wheel and the deck plate. Knock on wood, I’ve never high hooked, but I’ve seen it done many times in 24 years out here. My rule for me is alway get out and make sure I don’t see daylight between the two, especially if when backing under, it doesn’t lift the trailer off the ground a tiny bit. Then, even after my tug test, I always get out and visually check that the jaws are locked around the pin, and the release handle is completely retracted. It doesn’t hurt to over inspect, but that one time you don’t might be the time you lose your trailer. ... 26
@

@charlesnogosek68624 years ago Bruce has the go to energy and desire to bring old diesels back to life!!!!
I’d like to see him preserve a 379 Pete extended hood with a 63” flat top.
Long wheel base ,straight pipes & lights are old school and awesome. ... 1
@

@vistalite-ph4zw4 years ago You did good Bruce nice trailer. Minor repairs nothing looked to bad, the deck is in good shape. Check the brakes, wheel seals, and grease it.....😀 6
@

@OakAcre4 years ago Started watching for the Air Force truck and I thought it was going to be a pretty cool project. So much for that. Way to finish a project. 4
@

@dackerson54 years ago Nice buy Bruce! Good luck with it. I'm sure you will fix it right and make it shiny and new. Anything that requires paint, coat it POR-15 and I use ZEP truck and trailer wash along with their Aluminum Brightener. The truck and trailer soap works awesome ...
@

@dwightcorbett88894 years ago That trailer should suit you well once you find the air leaks, get them fixed and replace any worn parts, such as the air bags. I really like this trailer. Should last for many years if properly maintained and not neglected or abused. ...
@

@christophers.40074 years ago selling the air force truck...what a shock. TO NO ONE. 64
@

@ronclifford33364 years ago Id say that line being loose is why you dont have air to the tanks? Once you get air back there, if the bags still dont air up, check the leveler valve. The rod may be off or the valve may be bad? 20
@

@JohnVH-diy4 years ago Love this channel. I buy and sell trucks, trailers, tractors, boats and anything else I can get my hands on cheap. You learn a lot fixing up old stuff. Hey Bruce, if you’re tired of rust come to Arizona and buy stuff. I can sand down some steel and leave it out for a few years and there’s only slight surface rust. ...
@

@jackhembree25034 years ago Since it's aluminum be sure and check for broke welds. On many of these to trailers when you apply the parking brake the air bags deflate to make loading and unloading easier. Be very careful with the alumibrite. 10
@

@johndurden97374 years ago On the reitnour steps I've pulled there is a airbag dump valve located near the oval marker light on the driver side. For completely dumping bags to load/unload. Who knows maybe it's that simple for ya. 21
@

@GoodOlBoy19764 years ago That's a fancy trailer you got. I had to pull a old school flat bed hauling steel rebar to construction sites. It did not have all that fancy stuff lol. Man I miss trucking so much.
@

@richardhayes7224 years ago If Bruce buys the equipment. Bruce can do with it whatever he wants. He doesn't have to justify his decisions to watchers. When it comes to big equipment you have to find what fits your needs, if you have to go through some incarnations to find the right combo, so be it. Haters always going to hate. ... 1
@

@stephenbatson39164 years ago I'm not much into cab overs but I love this truck, if you put some big fuel tanks on there to fill in that frame it would look even better.
@

@johnditch63574 years ago yes axles on box trailers also slide very handy when switching from OTR to in town doing deliveries, especially where in town state routes are two lane in a compact cute lil town. that's why interstates by pass them.
@

@DazC24 years ago Came for the International cab over, stayed for the Air Force truck, losing interest because neither have been or will be finished. 26
@

@radarmike67134 years ago Those shorter ramps should mount to the step deck so you can drive stuff up on top 8
@

@watchjaredwork14874 years ago What you’re seeing all over that trailer is galvanic corrosion. Happens when two different metals are touching each other and they come into contact with an electrolyte, I.E. salt water. 23
@

@DLCFarms4 years ago At the red air line is running into a governor/safety block. Probably got the name wrong but anyways it will usually pressurize the tank to 90psi before that valve opens and sends the air to the bags, maybe that's also another thing you should change while your at it. I've had to change two on our grain trailers. ...
@

@stephenbrown5714 years ago These trailers the leveling valve has. A tendency to flip in the wrong direction when sliding the rear axle. The controls for that are in a box on left side. Both switches pointing up are rear axle brake lock. And axle pin unlocked. ... 1
@

@demetresrobinson26944 years ago It's a rear sliding axle trailer. It's a must in Florida, California and a few of the new England states like Connecticut.
Get in touch with the Florida dmv and get yourself a annual bridge law permit if you plan on running that trailer in the 10'2" spread position.
Also anytime you load anything heavy on or off the rear of the trailer,put it in the spread position, and put blocks under bumper on the main beams. ... 19
@

@rickgrimes41334 years ago Don't forget bearings, wheel seals, brakes, drums!!!! Hub oil 😬 22
@

@danhillier5344 years ago New trailer looks Good! One thing Bruce, if you expect too have any knees left when your older, please practice the 3 point hold when you get out of Blue Collar, trust me, jumping off trailers, docks, and cabs didn't do me any favors years ago now that I'm old an broke down!😣 ... 13

@ipicklethey76544 years ago Beautiful trailer Bruce!!! Congrats and great luck with it!!!
@

@angelherrera21154 years ago That’s good ol dade city right there man! Nice you see you there Bruce !
@

@robertbrake99274 years ago If you think about it . A lot of have said we like the semi content. And some of you all have been wanting Bruce to get a Conventional Peterbilt . It's not like he needs a half dozen trucks . So I would say he needs to sell to get something different to try and provide the content you all have been asking for . Don't complain. He is just trying to provide content we are asking for . So thanks Bruce for keeping it fresh ✌🏼😎🇺🇸 ... 1
@

@azcactusflower14 years ago Check the speed rating on those tires. Size tires are known to blow out with 2 axle step decks due to low-speed rating tires. Continental HTL-2 Eco Plus 235/75/17,5 are rated for 75mph
@

@justcruzn95284 years ago Nice trailer you got there bloke, few repairs and cleanup it'll be sweet as ! 1
@

@donmccord4 years ago Nice trailer Bruce can’t wait to see it all clean and shining in the sun !!
@

@patreed79664 years ago First check and make sure that the valves on the side of the trailer are in the ride position not in the dump position then check your air ride leveling valve it could have gone bad and the reason for the spread is if you spread it out you can put 40,000 on the trailer as long as you don't go over 80,000 gross but in the State of Florida if you have the axle spread you will need a Kingpin permit regardless of your weight and there should be some J hook plates with that trailer they hook in the grooves on the deck it would be a good idea to use those instead of your stake pockets and rub rail it's a rittenour they will break if you're going to use those you need a spool gun for your welder be careful at truck stops we used to have a fleet of those and I rookies would tear the back bumper off of all of them you back over a curb to get in a spot the air bleeds off and the rookies didn't let the trailer rise up before they pulled out and they would rip the ass out of the trailer ... 1
@

@McClellan714 years ago That's a sweet trailer Bruce. Very versatile and all the bells and whistles. Nice score.
@

@colindevine32604 years ago I’ve paid the fine for having that back axle slid back in FL. You’ll have to have an oversize permit to have that axle back because of bridge law in FL. Just a heads up. Nice trailer btw. 1
@

@calvinh.88824 years ago Sweet! Once you get it fixed you can run it to the truck wash in Wildwood every few days for a couple of weeks and have them acid wash it. It will slowly remove all that oxidation. The bad thing about that would be if the acid wash gets on the rims and toolboxes after they're polished, it will mess them up by making them look white. Sweet trailer, can't wait to see it once it's finished getting cleaned and polished.
Ps. Get some locks for those ramps so that they don't get stolen. ... 10

@asn4134 years ago you sold the air force truck... oy gewalt. There were a lot of people waiting to see that. 21

@toddclark3324 years ago Looks really good together guys that's a cool ass set up 1
@

@michealsousa559california54 years ago Very nice trailer, a big difference in just cleaning it up . It probably weights the same as the Kaufman did.
@

@jacknevitt73844 years ago Beautiful trailer, Bruce! It looks fantastic behind the Blue Collar!
@

@johndavid35534 years ago Nice trailer Bruce looks really sweet behind blue collar. Can't wait to see the Pete 1
@

@bgd734 years ago nice combo of aluminum and steel. the wood is very good for steel, things that slide.
@

@azeilm4 years ago Helpful tip. That is not a California spread. That trailer is only legal in California with the axles in the closed tandem position. With the axles opened up in the spread which allows 40,000 pounds on the axle group instead of 34,000 pounds when closed. California has a 40ft kingpin law so for the spread to be a California spread the rear axle would be fixed like eight feet from back with the front axle then being 10ft in front of rear axle. Also don't chain to the stack pockets on a Reitnouer you will crush them a they aren't welded. Chain around the double spools. ... 1

@michaelbeck55674 years ago Don’t worry about mixing water with that aluminum cleaner. Just spray it straight. And the white lightning from Napa works great!!

@

@kaseymiller48234 years ago Looks good man I suggest checking all the air lines and the wiring harness on the trailer I know the air lines on those trailers can rot out fairly quickly but the wiring system can get shorts in it
@

@scottcannell18614 years ago What a fantastic video Bruce keep up the great work love the new trailer and can't wait to see the new peterbuild. A big Gday from Australia.
@

@patreed79664 years ago And you can use the rise valve not just to slide the axles but to raise the trailer to dock height for regular dock
@

@richoverton4934 years ago That’s a awesome trailer Bruce.
Good job
@

@martaehairston2884 years ago Everybody’s giving Bruce shit saying “he doesn’t know anything about trucking.” Well we all had to learn somewhere. At least this man is using his own equipment to learn from his mistakes. Continue learning the ins and out about trucking bud. You’re doing a badass job. ...

@ricardoavalos88084 years ago Hey bruce next time you hook up to ur trailer make sure it's a little lower.

@

@squidkid24 years ago Finally a real trailer! I would check out those rusted air tanks before i put any serious air pressure in them. They look like candidates for a nasty explosion with shrapnel. If you're not going to replace them I wouldn't be any where near them the first time you put pressure to them just in case they let go. You might take them to a place that tests welding tanks and see what they say. And if one of them blew at highway speed with a full load I wouldn't want to think what would happen if the air bags suddenly dropped pressure and the trailer brakes went full lock ouch!! Wouldn't want to failure test those on the interstate at speed! ...

@

@cabovermike4 years ago One safety tip,.never crawl under one of those low step trailers or trucks, ive heard of a couple of mechanics getting fataly crushed when the trailer/truck has lost air and the whole lot ends up on your chest as it all hits the deck,. ...
@

@treya24034 years ago That one valve on the tank is a TEV valve there should be two 90lb valves that run off each side of tank also, I would check those first because with water in the lines they become faulty I work on these everyday theres to much to list to put on here lol but hey if you need any advice we can fix it. Love the channel btw !🤝🤘 ... 1

@whoknows33474 years ago The back of the trailer will be bent with him loading it with the axles forward on that "California spread" lol. 9

@coltcrain92854 years ago That is a cool ass trailer. With all that extra room Bruce by up some stuff in GA and TN on the way back lol.
@

@Daves_adventures43154 years ago If you’re going to spread them axels you need to put a switch on your dash to dump air in one of the axels so when you turn it’ll save your tires.
@

@thebear35894 years ago Just a word of advise...
Id listen to some of the Ol Guys on here and their past experiences and prior setups using this trailer...their ed.u.ma.cation and degrees from the school of "hard knocks" are priceless....their wisdom is "priceless "...My Pop was a OTR trucker for over 40 yrs..he hauled everything from Bananas to Army Tanks..the stories he could tell...places he had been/seen..endless. Knowledge Is priceless...and free knowledge even more so...let the ol guys on here who have been there, dun that and got the T Shirt...explain to you the proper setup when it comes to this workhorse...Shiny is nice...but Chrome dont get u home... ...
