As a trucker I want to say thank you for helping out our brother. We are often disrespected and usually forgotten and overlooked. We have been under hard times for a few years now.
Without you the world would stop. People take truckers for granted!
Be real interesting to see what people expect to happen once you've all been squeezed out of the game... I doubt they've even considered it, short term profit is king after all.
Yes very true. Where would we be without you, take care
Where would we be without truckers. How would we get food? Gas? Beer? Truckers are the unsung hero’s of our lives.
If the highways are America's arteries, the truckers are the lifeblood
Dave needs to open a warehouse store named "Look what I found"
Or "my stupid expensive mistakes"
@@Berm_Blaster that's the warehouse on the other side
Or guess what i did...lol
Ha ha He could charge $5 at the door just for entertainment value 😆
He'd put Bezos and ebay out of business. Need helicopter parts?
Amazon Maintenance Tech here. The conveyor stuff I noticed has TGW branding which is 1 of the 4 main contractors for Amazon. They mainly are used for smaller distro centers or DUT sites, amd some of the smaller SSD (Sub Same Day) AR sort centers. That box of MDR (Motor Driven Roller) a ND Sick brand photo eyes are definatley worth more than the 6 grand you paid. The belts, and additional hardware is also worth some dollars so it's looking good just o that portion alone. The main controllers that are used for those kinds of systems are customer to each site and tend to be delivered separately and are setup Fter most of the beds are measured, built and laid out. If you ever want to setup a conveyor system give me a ring!
Amazon Ship Dock employee here lol
I vote this smartest comment
How much for green machine?
I notice the same thing since i worked in amazon too.
Amazon CEO here - you're all fired!!!! Bwaahahahah Roooarrrrrr
Bottom line, the trucker was able to get back to work and provide for his family. Kudos David!
❤
❤❤😊
He could've had tens of thousands of dollars by selling the stuff, too. He lost in the end, big time, but will likely not know it or care.
No owner op will sit for 4 months like that. We would speak with shipper and they pay to bring it back unless out of business then we will sell the stuff to make up for lost revenue. No trucker will go broke waiting like this we will unload it quickly then get rolling again.
You actually think it’s real 😂😂😂😂😂
Driving that long rig between those buildings was impressive!
Looks cool on video but can you stay between the lines on the freeway?
it's not all that difficult. Try doing it in a tank with JACK SQUAT for visibility. All it takes is situational awareness and a ground guide
It'd only be impressive if a Swift driver could do it... 🤪🤣
You are a moron
@@justinhobart8747 now now, we're trying to be realistic here...:P
I was just checking my mail and saw something that I had wished for but didn’t expect. Dave and his team heard about the people snowed in our local San Bernardino mountains in Southern California and came to help! As usual the team Dave gathered came to the rescue without seeking accolades. Many thanks to these wonderful people.❤❤❤
Anything u do to boost ur brands profile is tax deductable. Includes cost of making the video. Also truckers have a relationship with insurance companies.
@No Pill 4 me who cares if he filmed it and made money. He had his entire crew and employees to pay not to mention the fuel and travel costs. You say you wouldn't film it but if you had a big youtube channel I bet you would
@No Pill 4 me Absolutely agreed. Can't believe people can't see past the "goodness " of Dave's heart.
@No Pill 4 me Dam dude you Must be such a smart and charitable person!!!!!, how could he make a video about it, spread awareness on what is happening and recovering the expenses he incurred to go out of his way and help people, Even if he made 69Trillion dollars profit from the video, HE STILL HELPED PEOPLE OUT IN THE PROCESS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED and making some money for a KZhead video does not change it, besides if he wasn't making money from these things He wouldn't be able to help people in the first place...., He could have also made the same amount of Money by revving a diesel truck while shouting "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" and filming it, would have been much easier and less expensive
@No Pill 4 me evidently you don't watched it very much. Yes he makes money he's definitely not out there to get poor. But if you haven't seen the more money he makes the more he pays forward. And he's got the best job in the whole world he gets to go out and help others, so what if he gets paid for it do you work for free. Do you see the amount of people he pays and help support their families. I don't think they want to work for free either. I bet your ass wasn't down there shoveling snow by hand. Just remember when you're pointing the finger at somebody else you got three pointing back at you. Dave if you got me fooled I want to stayed fooled. God bless you and your crew and keep up the good work. And I for one am glad to see you making money it's the American dream.
If you have extra games that don't sell, I recommend checking out if you have a local foster closet to donate them to. As a foster parent, having a few games to take home that are new when a kid arrives is often treasured by kids in foster care, and helpful for the families too! :) I think you guys are awesome! :)
Such a kind suggestion,@stephanieceara7861 ! We should all think this way
For sure...taking a charitable donation deduction might be your most profitable way to recoup your money on those box games.
Also suitcases so kids ain't moving with just garbage bags of clothes like a lot have to do.
Thumbs up for a guy that keeps lots of people around him working.

Remember when Allen was just the guy on the mountain? Now its great to see him on the team, what a guy.
@@purecountry6672 Allen has blossemed into a key play who brings a LOT to the table. And he is fun to watch. Im a millwright and tech... so Ive some clue.
@@purecountry6672 did you see him just ID all those components? IDK what you're on about
Not a guy..... A WIZARD
When i originally seen that mountain compound with all those under ground passageways and hidden rooms, i got some real creepy vibes... Like, if there were any young women who had disappeared in that region, there's a chance greater than zero that i would know where they could be, type of vibe. That feeling hasn't left me one bit...
i wonder the state of his ALOT lol every video im hoping it has an update
Looks like it could possibly be a new franchise setup. Tell Allen “Newman” was on Seinfeld & “NORM” was on “CHEERS” 🤠
Was reading through to see if anyone corrected him. lol
Haha! Me, too,and it’s Diesel Dave who got it wrong. 🤣🤣
I didn't scroll down far enough before I commented. I'm surprised more of us didn't catch that😆
I came to the comments hoping someone caught that 👍😁👍
Had to go pretty far in comments to see who the first person to say norm was from cheers
I'm a trucker as well, and I'm saying thank you for helping that driver out in his time of need! It's nice to see someone show truckers some love! We get shit on on the daily from every angle! Thank you!
I’m so proud of you for helping this trucker. God Bless you! Our truckers are essential for everything & everyone!
Its a stolen load.
Yes it's stolen and it happened to us, scammers moved our load using three truckers, they didn't pay to any truckers and later sold to guys like you. You are only thinking for truckers but I request to just think for shopper who lost his load and doesn't know where it is.

As a trucker myself I appreciate you helping that man out even if it was a score that will mean a lot to him. Luckily it was a win win for both of y’all
As a trucker, Are you going to sit at home for four months because your trailer is full? Seems far fetched to me.
Yes that's the exact way I was thinking
@@timp5668 I thought about it but who knows maybe there’s a reason for it I don’t know everyone’s story. But does seem a little odd nonetheless.
It does depend on the load not sure of the legal side but he could have donated. It looks like a conveyor sorting system
@@sneezinhatch or rented a trailer, or many other options. No one with a family is gonna sit around for four months. “Wish I could work, but the trailer’s full. Oh well”
As somebody who works with a company that often ships pallets of very similar freight in terms of those conveyor belt pieces, you could easily be looking at $200,000+ in equipment there.. I've seen a box of rollers get claimed out because a warehouse worker sent a fork through them, one box of those rollers could be well over $25,000.
It's just a paper weight, if there's no buyer.
@@mariatorres9789 could try and return it to the company if its all new
@@mariatorres9789 Literaly any medium store outside the USA whould buy it a bunch of supermarkets or distribution centers etc
Those must be the gold plated ones.
@@mariatorres9789 There are plenty of small manufacturers that can use conveyors.
Dave way to go . You put a person back in business to feed his family
Trucker should have thought a little more about his load. He lost tens of thousands of dollars.
Good job Dave for helping this trucker out! Trucking is essential but its not the most easiest job.
We need your help in the San Bernardino Mountains HEAVY!! UPDATE: I as a resident of Valley of Enchantment (Crestline) would like to thank you and all your hard working colleagues and friends who came all the way to help all of us in dire need our small community in San Bernardino Mountains thanks you! I know that you understand what this meant to all of us.. again THANK YOU HEAVY D AND FRIENDS 🙏🏼

@@frostybytes6835 just look up what’s happening in in the California, San Bernardino Mountains… we are snowed in…
Allen is an absolute treasure of a man. He’s an interesting dude that knows about a lot of different random things. He seems like such a genuine guy too. Much love Wizard!
Allen’s family tree is a wreath
I call him cherry Coke man! Some say he has no blood only cherry Coke running through his veins
I feel like I'm the Allen at my job. Coming up with random, but super in detail facts haha
@@yvanbovard3781 lol that’s what’s up
Allen is nothing but a drug addict hording moron
Can we appreciate how tight that ally was where he got that truck thru 😊
it wasn't that tight, try backing into a dock at a 90 with that type of entry. all he had to do was drive straight, no big deal for a trucker
Big respect to you David , I heard you say , in so many words, doesn't matter how much i'm going to make, is helping this driver out as he has family. Big Big respect Regards from UK
Give the conveyor belt system to Allen for use at the fortress, I'm sure he can make it work somewhere.
😂 he would be so excited and build .. not sure what. no more walking in the shop, you will be conveyed around with laser beams 😂
says Allen's alt account!
@@mfeldheim He would build wizard stuff!
He would make it transport block to the roof.
Alan needs that conveyor system to get stuff up his mountain!
Just came here to say that: conveyor for the mountain and any bearings goes to Alan too.
Just finished your mountain snow adventure. Big trucks+ 14 ft snow= a lotta boys having fun! I love your videos.
After watching the guy at 15:00 struggle to get the jack under the pallet I really appreciate the European standardized pallet system. So easy to use. Unfortunately those pallets as pictured sometimes found their way to us, and that was always a hassle to deal with.
YESSSS Anothyer things of Europe we have to be proud of
Every trucker including myself knows what’s in their trailer. Still a awesome video and can always appreciate helping a fellow trucker out.
Sometimes the descriptions are extremely vague. I’ve had truckers call to deliver stuff that was described very differently than what was in the trailer. Especially LTL stuff
@@paulthiessen6444 Even at being extremely vague if this load was on his trailer for 3 or 4 months And he wasn't working because of it which I highly doubt because no trucker is going to leave a load on their trailer and not work for 3 or 4 months because of it. they would have gotten into it and known what was in their trailer by now
Tell that to the cartel truckers 😂
@@stevesrandomadventures9066 something is super fishy about being stuck with a load for 4 months. Bet it’s hot.
It's vague on a lot of stuff. Stamped steel parts, automotive parts, automotive components, machine tools , produce etc
This is so much better than abandoned storage units!!! Good Job Dave !!!
true! easier to unload too.
I wonder if those tables have adjustable legs to set them at various heights?
Just subscribed! Cool items! Nice that the trucker can get back to work, my dad was a trucker his whole life, so I’m happy Dave was able to do this!
You scored on the conveyor system. The SICK barcode readers are worth many times over what you paid for the whole load. The motorized rollers, depending on how many you have are worth more than the whole load cost. The zone controller boxes are worth many times more than what you paid for the whole load. Good score, dude!
Honeywell System is worth a lot of money
Just what they showed on camera is at least 75k in components. Hell the remote terminal boxes and expansion I/O are ready made 2k units.
Honeywell/intelligrated are industrial conveyor system's are super expensive. PE sensors, proximity sensors and as well as the PLC systems cost more than the metal 😂.
I'll buy the truckload for 300. Cash at hand. Don't forgot. It's cash at hand
Reminds me of when I used to build those boxes 10 years ago.
Im a little late watching but as always incredible stuff guys!!! Keep up the great works you do. To me it is inspiring. Thank you
Cheers is when they holler Norm. 🤗. Love all this. So so nice of you. Both of my brother in law’s drive there truck & trailer plus we used to own a trucking company running 38 trucks. This is a life changer for this truck driver. This is the first time I’ve seen your video but I’m going to subscribe to you.
Hey Dave. Just turned on my computer and then went to my youtube page and the first thing that popped up was a story by KSL News about you and your crew helping stranded snow bound people in the Big Bear area of So-Cal. I used to think that you and your crew getting that concrete mixing truck up the hill to that old mine was the best thing you ever did. But this my friend far surpasses that. Huge props my man. You guys rock. If I ever get to Salt Lake I am taking your whole crew out to lunch. Stay safe and be well....Out.
I love how excited Allen was getting. I say make your money on the games and let Allen play with the conveyor parts like it's a giant Erector Set! Lord only knows what he might come up with. What ever he builds is guaranteed to be TOTALLY WIZARD!
This is exactly what I was thinking too!!! Move the games and give Allen a screaming deal (or let him have it for free) the conveyor stuff.
The Wizard the Conveyor and the Mountain Fortress … Can you Imagine what that would turn out to be
Let allen Build a conveyor Between front desk and parts shop
@@lionheart9375 yeah I had the same thought. It definitely would make moving building materials around the fortress easier
@@lionheart9375 An easy way to get materials up the mountain you think too huh ?? LOL
Love how heavy D don’t really care what’s his brought his more happy seeing the drivers face so he can work again love this man well done Dave helping out the driver your a god send x
All you truck drivers are amazing and incredible people with all the hard and difficult situations and weather and obstacles etc.... I try to pray for all you each and every day im out on the raod you are truly a special breed an amazing people God Bless each and everyone of you Amen
That conveyor system is like $100 grand + Honeywell stuff ain't cheap.
my ears pricked up when he said "honeywell" this is one of those deals that keep you doing stuff like this
That space between both of the buildings is literally just enough space for those big trucks is so insane
Yeah it’s hard to tell if it was designed that way or luck
Do think the side mirrors on the truck folded in flat, or that they had to remove them before going between the buildings?
@@immortaltyger1569 I would guess so, since it looks pretty tight.
When I drove a 5 ton Army truck in Germany some of the houses in the back country towns were so close together on the road through the town that I had my mirrors mounted with removable pins and cotter pins instead of bolts so I could fold the mirrors in so I wouldn’t knock the flower boxes off the bottom of the windows back in 1979-1980
@@jaymcginty6786 Saw similar problem while we out on maneuvers in 73 - 74, the lead vehicle lead the whole convoy into a very old village in Germany where you could barely get a small car though it - after making a wrong turn and attempting to get the convoy turned around. Maneuver damages probably got paid for that fiasco.
cool find. I love that kind of stuff. Thanks for helping out a hard working truck driver.
Tip of the day. Whenever you expand or compress the forks together on the tow motor pit the tip of the fork on the ground and they will slide together or apart like butter!
As a board game collector and hobby enthusiasts I found this a blast!!
you just might be the guy to ask, i have a 1935 edition monopoly game in a metal embossed container. never opened. all of the pieces are still wrapped in plastic never opened. got it for christmas in 1985. what would something like be worth?

This is really cool ! So many people dont realize how important truckers are to all of us !!! And its pretty exciting too
Cool video, thanks for helping that trucker out.
Dave. That conveyor equipment you bought was manufactured at Dematic. I worked there 25 years on the shipping dock and in power assembly. A conservative estimate for the mini system you have is over 100 G
I agree Tim. I'm a Millwright out in Chicago and I work on this type of equipment on a daily basis. If they signed the frequency drives that drive the electric motors they probably are looking at well over a hundred grand
He said Honeywell, not Dematic. Honeywell bought Intelligrated. I worked at Dematic for over 9 years and now another automated material handling company for over a year. I was hoping for a better look at the equipment to figure out what it all was. Not sure how many Sick scanners they were and what model they were so they could be cheap $50 units or several hundred dollar camera scanners.
I thought Dematic was Green? That is part of a Honeywell Accumulation Conveyor. I agree the conveyor parts are worth well over 100K.
@@DaveStewart-qo4bd The standard color was green. Customers could request other colors. Amazon was one of the customers that wanted a special color. That white/gray color looks like Intelligrated(Honeywell)'s standard color.
@@FastSS02 don't forget about stainless steel
Man, I'd freak out driving that narrow slot between your warehouses in a normal car much less a huge semi. Props to that driver and you guys when you do.
Threading the needle 😂
I have had times where I line it up and pull the mirrors in its doable.
That's why Dave is so successful. Fortune favors the brave.
Thanks for helping the trucker! But the tv show that says NORM is CHEERS Good luck guys.!
HUGE SCORE DAVE!!!!! Whether it's a complete conveyor system or not I'm guessing you've easily got $15-$20,000 worth of brand-new conveyance parts there - single lot sale to a conveyor manufacturer or systems integrator for conveying systems. SWEET! Add in all the games and I think you've had a major score! Huge congratulations!
The absolute jaw drop when I saw the conveyor belts. I used to work for Honeywell Intelligrated, who manufactures and installs conveyor these for a lot of distribution centers, especially Amazon. I installed these exact systems at Amazon warehouses and could point out most of what that stuff is. Wild to see here!
This is most likely Dematic systems, as thats what we use on most of the western side of the US. Intellegrated on the east. (Which I can confirm, living in the same state as these folk, the only warehouse not using Dematic is the middle mile building, which uses a 20k mechlite from a company that I can't even remember the name of) However those labels are middlemile labels from within the network, meaning these weren't being used by the company, just fulfilled through its network.
This is what I’m saying I work for Npsg world wide and we are right now building a new Amazon building here out of Boston and those are he exact products that are being used by Honeywell intrigued teams . I was also astonished as to how I found this after just leavening work today and seeing these equipment that should be at Amazon lol in this building lol 😂
How much do you figure that system is worth?
@@marksprinklehe orange rollers called MDR’s (Motor Driven Roller) are special coated. I use those in my department and those alone go for 2k each. They have easily over 30k in conveyor systems.
One thing I do know is that they all have adjustable legs so you can adjust the height......😄

Dave you're such a good hearted person. The world needs more people like you, honestly. I enjoy your videos all the time and am super excited to see what are in these boxes, just like you are. Keep up the good work and may God bless you and your family and your awesome team
It's not like this is a charity, even assuming he paid $6000, this video has 3 million views and KZhead averages around $5000 per million views, so this video has already earned $9000 even if the cargo was worthless.
Dave is not a good hearted person, he knowingly takes money from conmen/scammers and promotes their business, all he is interested in is making money and couldn't give a crap about anyone else.
@@-Bill. Rich people suck
@@-Bill. Once you start subtracting Dave’s guys wages for a couple days having to deal with all of that stuff plus all of his other business expenses like rent, utilities, insurance, tools and equipment, payroll, etc. that $9000 profit gets eroded pretty quickly.
@@backyardbasher And yet I don't see you out here being able to afford a black hawk. Welcome to capitalism, where companies will pay enormous sums of money to be promoted even though nobody in their right mind will buy it.
That conveyer system is a produce grading machine. It washes a product as it goes over the rollers. Amazing to see one disassembled and laying in boxes and on pallets!
"NORM" WAS ACTUALLY FROM TV SHOW "CHEERS"
The world needs more people helping each other like this, God bless you Heavy D 👍👍
If he makes that much profit, it would be nice to see him turn a little more over to the truck driver. As an over the road driver myself I don’t know how he set for four months like they were talking about. I mean I’m sure the guy had some money saved back, but why would you want to dig into all that?
It’s not Dave’s fault he sat for 4 months unable to work. He reached out to Dave and asked him to ‘Make an offer’ sight unseen. if he wasn’t happy with the $6,000 offer, then he would of said ‘thanks but no thanks’ and tried to sell it elsewhere. Turns out he was Happy with $6,000, he got his truck emptied and straight away went to pick up a load, he was back in business. His contract with Dave was complete. Luckily the goods that were unloaded, were in good condition and can be sold on. Let’s play devils advocate….. Dave offers $6,000, the offer is accepted. Driver turns up with a truck full of perishables, all now decomposed and need to go to landfill. It’s now going to cost Dave more money to dispose of it all. Are you saying that Dave should go back to the driver and say, “I’m now out of pocket in the region of $7,000, you need to give me some money back”?”
This is huge and the fact you are helping people really must feel good. Really good stuff here guys.
Like Christmas in March!!! Pretty cool that you helped a guy out, too!!!
You can make a treadmill that all of you go on at the same time!! LOL And you can make a backyard roller-coaster using the rollers!! 😂😂
I work in industrial automation. Those Sick sensors alone are worth the 6k you paid. The gray electrical boxes with AB contactors are high value, also.
Yeah man that dimensioner is worth more than what he added up out of the board games.
About $400 each if they are retroreflective.
@@Will_CH1 for a basic conveyor system those sensors probably barely push 150 ea
@@Goryrat Those are Sick optics. You pay more for German quality. The laser sensors such as the OD2000 can cost over a thousand but the ordinary proximity sensors are a couple of hundred.

Glad to see the gamble😂, loved the TV show hated it ended but, glad to have found yalls recovery KZhead. I don't miss a post.
Such an amazing one!! Thank you for helping the trucker brother!! Great karma!!❤❤❤
I guarantee you that conveyor belt stuff is $100,000 easy!

I’m not disagreeing with the valuation but when Dave said it was an industrial conveyor system, it is really more of a commercial conveyor system. Those belts and rollers and drive motor rollers are not heavy duty. Just semantics imho.
Somethings just not right about this entire deal. I drove a semi for over 30 years and no owner/operator alive is going to let "Abandon freight" tie his trailer up for 3 or 4 weeks let alone 3 or 4 months. That and the driver not allowing his likeness to be videoed throws up serious red flags. He knew damn good and well exactly what he had in that trailer and what it was worth. This whole thing was shady as hell.
@@gunner4544 Drive motors are probably rated for a 50 pound zone.
I've never heard of some of those games but def hope you make your money back, but on the upside what you did by purchasing it from the driver was awesome. My brother is a long haul driver and when his box is full he don't make near as much pulling someone elses trailer so that was a real good thing you did. Props you rock.
Amazing score! Man we sure wish the trucker and his family well 🙏
I liked and subscribed just because you helped the truck driver. Really nice of you. ❤
I love watching people add up the value of stuff that will never sell lol
It will sell, and that load is actually worth a ton of money. Ur referring to more storage wars type junk.
Let me help u deduce before even knowing what's in the container. With storage auction stuff ur looking at stuff people don't typically want around in a unit that costs 100 dollars a month to just get it out of the way.. here, someone spent thousands of dollars to transport said product that would have to be recouped upon arrival. I.e. shipment worth far more then the transport costs. He paid 6k, and could possibly 100x his initial investment.
Man you got me. Generic novelty board games are such a hot market right now.
That poor truck driver got ripped off. He coulda made so much money off that stuff.
@@MatthewBrown-bf5lz go ask Amazon how much they're paying for industrial conveyors. Those belts alone are in the tens of thousands depending on length...
I genuinely appreciate what you are able to do to help people. Whatever it is, considering the cost of fuel to get that load to you from California, 6K is a bargain!
I just watched this one & like Dave & his crew of misfits a lot. I’m hopeful you will make back your $6000 plus a bunch more as a return on your gamble . Helping out others in need is what makes Dave & his guys special . I’ve watched what you did for Brent up Cerro Gordo , and I believe in Karma . No “ Good deed goes unpunished “. You will be rewarded for having helped this trucker out of his jam . Thanks for posting this one. C-ya maybe someday in person to shake all your guy’s hands . 👍

@@arlisbartlett9315 what you angry about?
That's all of the conveyer and photo eyes and electrical parts we have been waiting for on this job site
First of all, what you did by helping out a fellow human is remarkable, so little is done like that these days by others. Thank you!! Next, you can't compare Amazon prices to what you could actually sell them for. Unless you can find a Toy/Game store willing to buy the whole lot, your are doing a lot of E-Bay selling. Third, the big money maker is that roller system. It looks very high end and although it was purpose built, the parts can be sold off. It needs to be setup to see what it is.
So I somehow saw this video and I literally have binge watched for the last 6 hours!!! It’s like 3:30 in the morning Bhahaha. I love seeing compassion, empathy and love shown to others!❤. Something this world needs to see a lot more of! Plus living life and having fun!! You guys are Bitchin!🤘🏻
That's what I love about you Dave. You don't care what is in there, but you are happy this guy finally has his trailer empty so he can feed his family. That's the best of humanity right there. It will come back to you ten fold.

I just delivered a truckload of conveyor equipment just last month to a new Amazon warehouse. The load I had, had 3 other truck loads to go with it. You look around and you may be able to find some other guys with loads of the same equipment to complete the entire system
Great score..i love your attitude to husstle and still help the next hussler.
Dave Sparks, YOU are a PROFIT_MASTER!!!! I worked maintenance in a warehouse in Sparks, NV. ( NO LIE!). The work we did is install a conveyor system to pack books for Borders Books. You definitely have a very nice and EXPENSIVE system! Honeywell stuff is top-of-the-line. Have fun going to the bank.
I was a mechanical engineer for Amazon and now manage the multi national maintenance planning for Mexico, Brazil, US, CA, EU, JPN. I can confirm that everything you have off that truck is the exact equipment we maintain lol
you need any equipment cheap? 😂
Yup work locally at the amazon warehouse and that is definitely equipment I work on. Probably going to a launch building that got shutdown
Stolen product. The driver gave you a bullshit story.
Also can confirm this equipment is used in our Amazon facility as well.
😂 the first stuff is for industrial automation, I work in the field and you've got a conveyor system with control boxes. If you've got PLC's(programmable logic controllers) those alone are in the thousands of dollars, you could just take those devices off the din rail and sell them individually for mega bucks. Especially right now when anything Allen Bradley is incredibly hard to get with shipping times +6 months out some PLC's are 18+ months out. Edit: just those contactors are worth a minimum of $100 each depending on the type you've got. Normally the more amps it can hold and softer close it has the more money. Even refurbished ones go for hundreds
What a wicked score. Since you will make such a killer profit from it have you thought about slinging that truck driver another $2.5 or $5 thousand? It would make his year, sounds like he could use it to help him and his family get back on track. Plus the feeling of helping a hard working American truckie will warm the hearts n souls of all involved!
Yes,I agree. Thank You, Dave
The load was from a delivery failed so not paid, or the load was hot , and most drivers would've dumped load to keep hauling and not stayed out of work
They didn't know if they would be able to make a profit or not on them, and although I would have remember that they don't have the cash as yet and it might be hard to sell some of those items...
I thought exactly the same.
I love your crew Dave! You guys always help the community out!
That was like a treasure hunt. So much fk'n fun to watch! Congrats...like you said "win, win for everyone.
LoL , the video editing crew had fun with this one! Great content guys!
Thank you for doing your part to helping this owner/operator out! Hopefully you kept his info so if you ever need something shipped across country you can help him out again!😊
Bout this trucker wasn't out of work for 4 months. His trailer was out of commission because the trucker wasn't getting paid but he can still pickup loads by using other trailers. Also, we don't even know if he was holding that trailer for hostage because he wasn't getting paid.
Dude, that conveyor system is worth a lot! And I work for the company who makes all the sensors you guys unpacked. SICK. You stumbled about A LOT of money right there 🤣 Congrats!
The only problem is to find a buyer for a custom belt. Ideally they would find the original buyer and they would still need it. But yeah the belt is worth much more than all the games combine.
Can dave call honeywell and the original manufacturer to get some bounty for the lost product or even sell it back for forty percent?
@@erictremblay6867 the original buyer would eventually need parts for the other one they had to order...
@@jakestarr4718 Those thing are built to last. They are not going to buy a duplicate of the all system for the few part they would need in the next 20 years. Maybe the belt itself and the roller. But the rack is not going to break anytime soon. In any case with the investment they just made they are not going to bother. Its probably the same reason the fabricator did not want it back. They rather just collect the insurance than having to store this stuff and ending up throwing it away anyway.
2% chance this dude isn't completely full of ****
There is a plus here, that nobody that I read, has mentioned. He just made a friend with a LONG HAUL, OTR, OWNER-OPERATOR, trucker. If he needs help with something, he now has someone on speed-dial. :) Not to mention, the trucker knows he has money and will not stiff him.
Kudos to you, for helping that trucker out. He's only making money when his wheels are moving.
As an owner/op I appreciate you helpin' a fellow man out Sometimes this happens to us It's good of ya dude Ya got my respect
Does it really take 4 months to sell abandoned freight? Reading some of the comments from other truckers it sounds like it should not have held his trailer up for so long
@@colobr Yes, to get rid of the load legally he probably had to wait for a court to declare it abandoned. Sometimes shit gets tied up for years in business bankruptcies but it's usually building owners that end up getting screwed.
@@Mister510 could he have stored the load until it was declared abandoned? To atleast free up his trailer in the meantime
@@colobr Yes, if he had a secure place to store it and a way to unload it. But if anything happened to that load, and it wasn't declared abandoned, he'd be on the hook for it.
I run reefer. Get free food all the time. I went to shelters, gave away to fellow drivers, threw alot out too. Sux his rig got tied up
Easily the best part of this video was Allen freaking out about all the roller equipment 😂😂 someone send him some “encoders with io ports” PLEASE whatever those are…
As a full time amazon seller thats a dream come true
Great job guys. What would be really cool is if yall hooked the trucker up with a bonus since it affected his family maybe you guys can brighten his day.
I was thinking the same thing!
Thank you for helping out a man who has mouths to feed.. I am Very sorry that this Driver gotten scammed so bad but, luckily he got helped out by an Awesome man, a great friend and his team! Thank you, Dave! 😎👊
It always amazes me to see you (and whoever else does it) pull through your alley. That is a TIGHT fit! Wow!
Praying you gave all the games to kids hospitals. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hey guys, I used to work for a company called Doral Corporation, they are located in Milwaukee, WI. Conveyors was one of the things the did. If you can’t find anybody closer they could be an option for you. Keep up the great content.
@heavydsparks those orange rollers are for “clutch” conveyors and help assist the counts of what is transported on them. The orange is also a gripping material to help move drums, boxes, etc. I can help with the conveyor line if you ever want to give it a shot! 😅
You are a dead set champion. And happy to share the love.
