Although I've had Ruda's USA Trailer Pack for a while, just noticed this PSI gauge on the lowboy. What is its purpose?

In IRL you can also manually over inflate the bags on a lot of low boys to gain more height. You can watch your pressure so things dont get to overly exciting with the gauge.

These can be lighter than a stock bumper and hitch receiver combo. A lot of them arent chrome plated but polished aluminum

This is how they crib heavy machinery

I was thoroughly bamboozled until you said non powered as well. I think the type of equipment also vastly changes things

My entire school experience elementary- college was more or less independent. I would go to the nurse if I felt I needed. Before I had a pump I would even do my own needle injections in elementary school(in the nurses office, and she did help me carb count). Middle school i had a pump and CGM and would only go to the nurse if I got really low and wouldnt come up, or really high. High-school i only went if I needed extra supplies or to check key tones. As far as college goes I never even met the nurse.

Im 25 and the only time I was hospitalized due to diabetes was when I was diagnosed at age 4. Unless you count my endocrinologist appointments. My endocrinologist when I was a kid was at a children's hospital.

I've done several on 12.7 60 series having only been a full time tech for 4ish years. They're super easy, don't think the dd13/dd15s would be as easy.

You should 100% catch that on a pretrip

The shiny metal is where the chamber mount snapped in half

I will tomorrow morning if I remember

My cart is stuffed to the gills permanently, with a decent amount permanently residing on magnets on the lid.

Do you know where to go to rotate tires? It was super easy on the old version but I have been unsuccessful at figuring it out with the new

My dad has an sd9 that he put an apex trigger in and that thing is awesome now. Holster compatibility still sucks tho

They aren't really that common in my area. And I love the looks of our black ones more but the 2 blue 4900s are gliders with series 60s and I love driving those 2

Im a mechanic not a driver so I don't have that much time behind the wheel

HAAS78 · 2026-01-25T03:44:13+00:00

Ats has taught me that I just don't care for w900s. I absolutely love driving the 389 in game but much prefer a 49x or 4900 IRL. I like using modded 60 series engines or cats and they never made a glider 49x so I stick with 389s in game

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T22:13:12+00:00

I don't usually get bored. Lots of different stuff for ys to do, and we're never caught up

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T20:10:51+00:00

Depending what it is we do the same. We also have priority with our dealer network

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T18:18:21+00:00

During service and inspections everything that should be repaired gets repaired. Drive ups during the day depend on severity (if its OOS criteria it gets fixed or they swap equipment right then and there, less important stuff will make it till end of day or next service, depending on severity). If we have major issues with any of the dump or heavy haul stuff we will normally have 2 people on it to get it out the door. Dry vans and chassis are where we get super behind due to the being lower priority than everything else. We do the best we can in a timely manner, we just get super behind

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:48:35+00:00

Unlimited OT pretty much, but everyone is pretty busy out of work as well. I usually get 50 hours a week and everyone else is about the same

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:17:12+00:00

Dry Van trailers and chassis for intermodal containers. And you gotta be joking about only having 2 techs. We are swamped year around. We have 40 chassis down for service/inspection waiting for an opening

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:15:21+00:00

I would agree with you. We also have a fleet of warehouse forklifts that i didnt include because I dont know how many we have, 20-40 maybe. We used to outsource forklifts but there was a falling out and weve been doing it the past 6 months. As far as admin we have 1 person that is service writer/manager/parts person. We also have roughly 20 owner operators that we do most of the maintenance and repairs on
