SCHOOL BUS TOW WITH 4024 JUNE 2017

hello ladies gentlemen and and always thank you for watching today I need to pick up a school bus that is broken down during the middle of a route in school and they were delivering the kids home and apparently plus just shut down and a middle of Broadway so we're heading there to pick it up they've got another bus coming to transfer the kids on to you it's the route normally I'm in the rotator or I meant the rollbacks today on men are single axle Peterbilt 40:24 one that I just recently did a walk-around off so some of you and asked if you see this one action or exactly what this truck was designed to do school buses medium beauty stuff like this works great for so I'm going to concentrate on driving and I'll turn this back on whenever I get closer to gonna break in all right ladies gentlemen we should be within just a few blocks of breakdown then an older part of our town or the straight to quite narrow where this short-wheelbase truck comes in handy and I think above transferring students perhaps [Music] mr. round plate I'll stop traffic back here real quick that's all right I'm in high vis I'll handle it thank you get in power they set it power down okay it just stopped okay we'll figure it out here same thing possible we'll figure it out yes sir anything else no sir go get it and as I came up here it started like I couldn't give it gas and then it rolled in and kind of stopped yeah there probably what happened is it died back there and you just didn't realize it because of the noise of the kids when it shuts off the brake pressure light will come on here when I was trying something on it said failure for communication Oh or something okay that was what was across exploring there okay that's not good that's not usually an ECM issue then I put on my emergency braking in your garbage back yeah but I did I didn't go anywhere okay all right okay good well we'll figure it out yes ma'am [Music] - please [Music] and now I'm just waiting on the kids make sure they get transferred safely and once I get that taken care of all I'm doing my part all right they're clear time for me to grow [Music] [Music] [Music] Just Answer my bears the lineup right you on and let's do this up one two one this particular boss I prefer using the tall Forks or the medium is none of the mediums hauls are on the other side [Music] I like spreading Forks out as wide as I can on that far so that's as close to the frame as you can get we've got them tied that I should have should have brought with me but I didn't even think about it housing such a hurry to get the kid didn't even think about all right I noticed you noticed I wrapped the chain around the bar first then I wrapped it through the tow hook as well the bar helps keep it hold it hold it down into the fork I carry this in the fork this part helps keep it from shifting side to side all right tamil prickly JN very quite genome actually wraps all the way around though right you get it's okay I can show you I see I've got it going up looping over the top and frame on the breakaway okay yo now I'm a school bus yes here the stop arms if you're tell us backwards stop arms and the stop time a front crossing arm if it has one yep well this one that's part of them front crossing arm all right how to hold the stop sign from coming out what will happen is that stop sign has a full-time 12 volt power that wants to keep that stop sign in its stored position you're pulling it down the road the wind is going to catch it and open it up and a motor is going to be constantly trying to close you'll end up either burning the motor out draining the battery or both oh yeah I think I think I got this for our local school so I know all or most of the drivers anyway there time steering wheel down and we're just about ready to go the wireless light bar makes it a lot easier we used to have to run like toured through the back window out through the front window or the driver's window alright I know there's all kind of different methods of securing the steering wheel some people use one strap some people use two some people use the seatbelt some people use a bar mechanism no matter what method you use I suggest going to the base or a solid part on the seat some seats especially air ride you don't want to go to the therapist why you don't want to go to the bottom part of the cushion base you know go to the actual base base of the seat because today air ride will fluctuate unless you jack they're right all the way up which I don't want going now and you also run the risk of the air running down in transit which would give you play in the steering wheel not a good thing if you can see how I got these I've got one wrapped around each spoke of the steering wheel keeping it from moving alright now this point home school bus you got a shut and latch the door you got a exit out the back door since we're already hooked up the under reaches right there a view to stand on all right right up it it is warm warm warm I do a walk around make sure we get everything down good where we want it attachments are good sake chains good quickly again since I don't like the way that I really rather be like that so that if it does break away the chain is pulling into the throat of the hook not towards the tip make sure we got plenty of ground clearance here because we do have overhang flat bar go on will will strapped stop sign all right folks we are good to go put this strap back promote off so the remote back in its charging port all right now that term of red was off all right off speaking as a friendless on the wings on the pile on this button here on the siren box turned on the grill redlund so they're off now it's got everything else on until we get back in the proper lane course this is not a highly travel the screen so we're not too bad a shape there yeah [Music] you hear that if the mic pick that up top warm enough now or the engine fan just picked on [Music] [Music] tight tight streets [Music] [Music] a silver path that get those over the the only spot town where you can get over the railroad track system trains are lock and all growling [Music] several different ways to go to the South from here I'm gonna go out same way I can over the hill by the river funny the lady that used to drive this bus lived right here she was assigned to this bus still see those he retired couple years ago now I'm having to tell it right by her house [Music] [Music] always watching my mirrors make sure things run it's great behind me school buses a lot longer than this truck is you got to be careful with your steering wheel movement especially when you're going faster because the bus will act like a whip back behind you don't want to do that a little bit of a deal here not not a big my enemies a little bit of a deal here before you get to court on the river even though lose the two lane road into highly highly traveled Road hi grandma volume several reasons that get the chords on this end of it and there's a fuel transfer station or diesel gas and everything the pipeline if if I had turned on this road back there if I gone straight I would have branded pipelines down the other end which also is fine forever rivers running off the right side right now and also straight in front of me up this top side part of the theme of course [Music] we're all barge traffic comes in ergo some tanker going to the ill station and I was telling you about Ultimo write down there's more than four to get all kind of different claims Township report rails Murr coming in farmers bring in from made the area down here more tracks coming in and out of the court just a few weeks ago this road was shut down because the Mississippi River was flooding flooding so highs at this area right here with underwater you still see the water in the field it's more there's normally not water out there we're almost back to the shop we're throw drops off to the other side or just down on the left our building and our property straight ahead of me [Music] starting at this street corner well the property from here over to the other side of our building is about five acres oh darn it ha how's our gas trapped in point Hale you know through then I'll worry about moving it trying to get it in here all right ladies gentlemen as always thank you for watching made it tape in the back Nemus free
