our most popular videos is luke uh driving one of the trucks that they had bought and then helping us change the tires on it wait up that was you yeah and at the time he was 13. you just turned 14 like a couple weeks ago so he did that when he was 13. yeah he did that when he was 13. oh no all right well we got here's the weird part we have to go this side he's going to that side yeah oh this is so weird okay let me are you nervous no wait should we walk around this is a full-blown let's walk around this 280 wheelbase 389 this is a 565 1850 torque 18 speed transmission 280 wheelbase 78-inch stand-up let's walk around it so i'm getting nervous i don't know if i could drive this you're not nervous look no not at all this is easy didn't even have a trailer on it i know right i've driven 300 inch wheelbase trucks with a tanker on it it's like nothing no what's your best advice for people that might be scared to drive something uh big out there just do just do practice practice it in a big open lot like here something if you got a big open lot just practice and you'll get you'll get used to it and better oh my gosh he's like but he's practicing for years and he's like i'll tell you what like just go get in the truck go get the truck okay i gotta watch him just get in the truck and i'll come back on this side all right don't you dare start it yet we gotta hop on the other side i gotta see this you and i'll be in the back okay yeah yeah okay i'll be in the back i'll be in the back oh my gosh [Music] look at you i'm like a proud father i'm not even your father what the heck luke all right mother truckers if any of you were nervous about being a driver look look how small he is the seat's bigger than you you're gonna be able to do this on spot mirrors we ain't put the spot mirrors on it yet yeah i realize okay could be a little bit harder but i've done it before y'all watch him he'll he'll he'll slip and he'll still slide the gears there won't be any shakes or nothing are we serious right now brian that's serious so earlier this week i had a bunch of trucks in the lot that were building on the channel and i wanted to move them all from one side a lot to the other just by the fence row and uh i gave them the the key code to our lock box and uh told them who all the trucks that went to lunch and i came back and they're all exactly where they need to be spaced out like they're supposed to i mean look at this dude shift are you even using the clutch he's just like floating the gears who taught you how to float gears man i learned myself so let's just uh i'm trying to think where we should put it for now let's just back it right in here by the mac on i mean unless you want to prove it we can run down the road down here and turn around okay just uh slows when we have too much dust i saw that are you serious flip the hazards on before he's even in reverse y'all came and see my face right now man i am so proud of this man right here so everybody knows we're on private property we disclaim all this is all this is all our driveway we're not actually going on a road yeah because that would be illegal but we'll go down we'll go down the end of our driveway this way and let them turn around down here and then come back good on my answer yes sir next time dying i haven't heard anything scratch it here brian film him from this angle we're giving luke zero pointers here he's doing everything on his own if you mess it up mike's will be mad at you this is mike's we'll get mad luke's grown up uh at truck shows since i like since i've been going to truck shows for years and years i've never ever i don't there's not been any drugstores i haven't been to that he's not been at and honestly at 14 to be he knows more about trucks than a lot of people at your age for sure i don't even know what to say luke i just love you brother yeah you just keep on being you okay you could probably go over there and he can give you a tour of their new uh mack gas trailer and uh i mean he knows how that whole thing operates like understands it yep what what have we done with our lifeguard like seriously this is how it should be i mean like learning a craft and being good at it and passionate is awesome here let me get this let me have this look at this people the kid doesn't even touch the damn clutch don't tell me when do you use the clutch only when you're putting it in here oh my gosh people are like staring like was that a kid in there oh my god i love it it gives it for me like you know luke and there's a lot of kids out there that
