This trailer got me in trouble with the government

Casey, having worked and retired from US Gov for 42 years, i would 200% guarentee that you outbid someone "associated" with the motor pool. All that new equipment does not get applied to excess equipment due for sale/auction, especially eauipment of the age of your trailer. Other bidder pribably steamingly pissed that you got his trailer, expecting no one else would bid on it. Good trade! Always a joy to watch your videos. Thx snd congrats.

The reasons for "no truck" roads round my neck of the woods tends to be road surface not designed for the weight, corners not wide enough for a truck to get round, and engine brakes echoing in a valley effectively waking everyone in town up. The latter two make it really easy to catch someone where they're not supposed to be. :P

I can't speak to how the Navy does things now. 35 years ago everything in the Navy fell under PMS (planned maintenance schedule) so basically things get inspected, maintained, repaired or replaced. You did good 👍.

I have been on that very road I believe. Years ago b4 truck gps was around, got pulled over by sheriff who lectured me on following a gps and not using an atlas. I explained that I always verified my route with the paper maps and told him the atlas said nothing about no trucks , he bet me $100 cash or a ticket that I was wrong and the atlas did specify no trucks. I pulled out my atlas and handed it to him and he invited me to the hood of his car, he spent 20 minutes scouring the map then reached for his wallet and handed me $100 I told him to keep it that his professionalism and pleasant attitude was all that mattered to me. He insisted and he also invited me to lunch at his house just up the road! His wife who had to be 9 months pregnant with twins looked straight off the set of dr Quinn made country gravy and fried steak with mashed potatoes! There house was like those cabins you drove by an old ranch house! I’ll never forget that day and it’s partly why I will defend law enforcement until proven otherwise!

Love how he got so distracted with the views and sights of things while trying to talk. That was like a cat with a Laser pin. Lol😂😂

Thanks for the long inefficient indirect route video. I enjoyed that abbreviated tour….

Brandt is the maker of the hyrail vehicle you saw. Back in the day I repaired railroad maintenance equipment in Kansas City.

Casey, I appreciate you taking the path less taken. The views are awesome.

where I live "no trucks allowed" or weight limits usually mean there's an old bridge with a low wieght limit....and cool views!

Casey I've been on bases so strict, they actually searched your truck looking for cameras to remove them .😊

The rail equipment you speak of is modified by a company named Brandt. They call the final product a roadrailer.

I imagine you've had this conversation more than once:

I love seeing the back roads - its been many years since I was in that area. Brings back some good memories of traveling with the folks. Thanks for that. 💚

Tell that wind farm to tone it down. It's been constant double digit winds here in the midwest for the past 2 weeks lol

Thank you so much for your endeavor to bring a mobile steam sauna trailer to the new Eugene YMCA!

Have they banned Teslas from military bases? Teslas have lots of cameras that record everything all of the time. At least it seems that way on KRplus.

I have done several truck and car interriers seats and head liners for my son's upholstery shop. I think it may be common for your truck but I think that is the nicest headliner I have ever seen in a truck. I am happy for you that you have not let your gut problem make you lazy. Way too many people would just sit on their butt and expect the world to take care of them. You faced the challenge and have made a life that is envied by a lot of healthy guys. Sorry for the long post but I am 71 years old and I wish I could take Grumpy's place and ride with you. Too bad I am in Georgia U.S.A.

I told neighbourhood kids that wind turbinesare actually fans and pointed out that they never see them turning when there isn't any wind. A friend who works at a local school said it only took a few days before most of the kids had convinced each other they were fans, apparently it took several weeks for tthe school to re-educate them. Slightly less time than when I told them that a nearby power station wth steam belching from its cooling towers is a cloud factory.

Mountains and curvy roads normally mean lots of cool scenery. Keep trucking guys… ❤❤
