#55 Bigger & louder, but will I buy from 4 State Trucks again? ~ New stacks are on and looking good

Episode 55 Nov 21, 2025 I'm an independent owner/operator, hauling flatbed freight in and around the Western United States. The whole story of the truck getting hit, installing mismatched exhaust stacks, negotiating a replacement and the final installation. It's been a long month-long project, but 4 State Trucks helped me get what I wanted and it looks great! Will I buy from them again? Hanging on to old school traditions and methods in a 21st century trucking world that's tracked and monitored. I own a truck, and I make a living with it. This is how I make a buck with a truck. On this channel, I'll share stories of loads hauled, places delivered to and some of the people I meet, while doing what needs to be done to earn a living as an independent owner/operator. 00:00 Opening 00:18 Mornin' Driver! 01:16 Intro 01:37 Picking up a man lift 04:09 Exhaust story begins 06:11 Muffler hangers 09:31 Dad helps 11:20 No delivery today 16:37 mismatched stacks 19:36 Max helps with install 23:32 Getting the right parts 25:32 Meeting Sully 26:34 Installing the right parts 27:49 Final outcome 28:45 Prices 29:44 Why not Peterbilt stacks? 32:31 Burn pile 32:44 Would I use 4 State Trucks again? 33:18 Ending
