That roof fairing isnt there for "looks to take up space" lol its to break wind from hitting the front of the trailer aka aero dynamic aka saving fuel. Lol,
I compliment you on a very thorough video, very knowledgeable. I only entered driving in Oct. of 2016, so I'm very new to the trade. I say driving and not "trucking" because the company I work for uses a majority of day cabs. We have team trucks, but for the most part, our line haul drivers never go further than 300 miles from our home terminals. 300 out, 300 back...home every night. There are exceptions of course, but because of this, as I said, we run mostly single (drive) axle day cabs. As such, we don't deal with much of what makes trucking "trucking". We don't deal with scales, or fueling, rest areas,, maintenance...or well,a anything really. Don't get me wrong, we are on the road...we do drive the truck in a safe manner. We have had drivers injured/died while driving...it's just minimized I believe. Prime is about the only carrier my carrier can pass on the road on a regular basis. I know our truck are governed at 64 mph, and when I see a Prime, I know I'm going to hit the hammer lane for a second. That's not an insult, you can only go as fast as the truck, and no one can blame the driver for that. We don't have an automatic transmission trucks (that I'm aware of) and I wasn't surprised to see the Fregihtliner with an automatic, but I was surprised about the Peterbuilt. More to the point, the more "truck videos" I watch, I'm starting to wonder if my company will be the last hold out on the manual vs. automatic trend. Even recently, we got in about 16 new 2017s...all manual. So with no automatics in the fleet now, and the new ones are still manuals, I don't think we will change over any time soon.
Peterbilt may have the same issue International did years ago with electrical. On my cabover International company truck, roads were wet from rain and the engine kept stalling. The problem was that one bare wire in the harness was touching the frame of the truck above the front right side drive axle. It had worn a bare spot and shorting to the frame, therefore making the computer wig out and stall the engine.
My dad has a 2012 KW t660 with the paccar engine used with over 500,000 miles and we had only one electrical issue which was a DEF sensor which ended up bricking the truck Other than that, the air bags keep exploding because the company he works for (Regency) gives him heavy ass loads that they know his truck can't handle. In about a month he's gonna move to another company because he's spent thousands on air bag and tire replacements Other than that, I say KW is a good brand. But what do I know? We've had the truck for 2 months after it being reposesed from someone else with no repair record and the engine doesn't even belong to the truck. It's a different engine. But atleast we don't have to worry about engine rebuilds any time soon lol
that Pete is NICE!!! have you talked with other Pete owners to see if they too are having electrical issues or is ur truck just experiencing problems? I know there is another prime driver who drives 2016 freightliner and he is having many problems with his truck in and out the shop. do Prime have KW's? I like those as well.
+Bxbred DaTTrucker yea I have spoke with others most people are having issues with the paccar and the 587. Now I haven't heard anything about the 579, but this experience has left a foul taste with me. And prime does have some kw T680, but those are rare to find. Prime stop ordering them in 2015
Those trucks look dope AF. Do you get to request an automatic after your done with all of your training and go solo with PRIME? I ask because I'll arrive for training this Sunday. When I'm done learning all I need to know, I'd rather an automatic (don't judge me. I'm a simple man).
Auto is the way of the future, back in the day people didn't want to fly single wing planes. They said single wing,that's just wrong. But who flies Bi-planes when they want to go any where? It's more economical on fuel,easier to backup, and reduces the risk of stalling with a heavy load in the mountains. You drive what you want, it's your license, it's your career, do you! I personally haven't driven an automatic but if it's offered, I'm going too!
You and I both have started trucking driving manuals, now trucking companies are having a hard time getting drivers that can drive manuals or even learn to. So as the art , and I truly believe trucking is an art, starts to fade there will be no choice. Look at the auto industry they're phasing out manual shifting, hell you don't even have to parallel park, if you drift in your lane the car yells at you! Now the big trend is driverless cars and trucks, and it's going to happen. Will the cars and trucks of tomorrow, that drive themselves with only limited input by the driver, what transmission will they have? I have been raised with manuals, first car I ever drove was a fifties monster with a big ass wood steering wheel and no power anything. First bike I owned a 69 CB750, first truck was a two stick 16 speed something when I was sixteen and I hauled twelve tons of sand from Port Washington to a sight in NYC. I learned how to float in cement truck with nine yards. Believe me I love the clutch, but the drivers coming up now, aren't schooled from daddies laps, when you could get away with illegally driving. They're letting people out of driving school having learned on an auto trans,who show up at orientation with no concept of shifting, I've seen it. The new Volvo with ishift can out shift anyman,I've seen the challenge. So you tell me, what's the future of trucking?
+Tony Montana , OK, but remember the original reply I gave was to a man who stated he wanted a automatic and didn't want to be judged. I truly don't know what lies in the future, I was simply telling him to do his own thing.
OnPoint Trucking Concepts With LoShawn Parks I appreciate it family, I just submitted my application this morning with your name on it. Stay blessed hope to talk to you some time. I will be going with the Cascadia god willing I get approved.
If you're leasing and you've been in the shop that many times why haven't you turned the truck in? You do realize that you have a walk away lease right?
wants popping. just want to give u a heads up.Friend of mine has a 2016 peterbilt he found his electric issue with a bad ground behind the dash. just a heads up.
I'm a 37 old guy. looking forward to going a trucking school. but I'm wondering. will my background stop me. one Felony? this question, is for. any trucker!
So questions. #1 say I go to prime and go through CDL school with them.Will I be in this truck or something similar? #2 How many miles does prime give out after CDL graduation giving no turned down loads.
Oh Damn oh ok thanks for that Info my man stay safe need doing your thing we will see yo at prime Inc. On th 25th of April ready for the leasing my I'm loving the info that you are bringing freightliner I will definitely go with auto tired of shifting bang bang freightliner gang that Volvo sit down
I have a question not related to this video, if for the 1st year that I'm a reefer driver to complete my tuition obligation, do they have routes in the northeast...vermont, NH, maine??? I live in southern vermont....
+Tony Montana Tony, thanks for the insight. I do see Prime trucks on the interstate, but didn't know how often they come through here and NH and Maine. I would hope that if I decide to do this, that I would gets runs up through here every so often.
I want to only drive a automatic I hope i can get on with prime and get one but I was wondering do I have to live in the same state to drive for prime currently in Florida
So if I bought into the company with my own truck like you were saying about that PTI truck would I still be able to run under their authority? I know before we had spoken on fb and you said I'd be on the logistics side. what's that about
On point trucking concepts with LoShawn Parks A freightliner cascadia yikes not me those trucks are crap I wouldn't drive one they break down way to much I've seen about 5 or 6 of primes freightliner's on the side of the road hood up hazards on and triangles out sounds like you maybe got a lemon just tell prime you got a bad truck me I stab myself in the foot then drive a freight shaker but that's just me I also hate volvos, and the International crapstar and I can say this because I do security for swire and they have the freightliner cascadia and I 've talk to the drivers and they hate those trucks and one had a transmission take a dump on him while heading to Washington and a lot of these are only 2 or 3 yrs with around 2 or 300 thousand miles so there not that old so there good ha I'll never drive those pos trucks ever
Freightliner is garbage as many veteran truckers say Freightliner can’t pull Hell over a hill. No Freightshakers for me Peterbilt is where it’s at!!! Give me a 379 with the long nose, manual with 18 gears and CAT engine and I’m good!!!!
Still surprised that N American trucks have got so far to go to be as technologically advanced as those in Europe! OK - OK I can hear the howls of derision and sound of hysterical laughter but hear me out please. The Freightliner will look instantly familiar to anyone on this side of the pond who drives a Mercedes. That steering wheel is the last generation both in trucks and cars. In both classes of Merc vehicles it has been replaced by the current generation (tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/current/trucks/brochures/products/The-new-Actros.pdf) The link above will take you to the Mercedes brochure for the new Actros and if you take the trouble to read it even by just skimming over the headings you can get a feel for the technology applied to both the engine and the transmission. The vast majority of trucks sold in Europe have now automated-manual transmissions. That means the gearbox is still a manual but the control is removed from the driver and given to a computer. When these types of transmission started to appear there was the usual resistance with drivers saying how no computer would get better performance than they would and in some cases - in certain circumstances - they were right. However gradually things have improved so now very few drivers have a problem and the computer is definitely able to perform thte selection, and always quicker too! On our crowded roads here compared with N America not having to think constantly about what gear to select is the difference between being relaxed and able to concentrate on your surroundings for the whole day, and still being reasonably wide-awake; or splitting the concentration and using half your mental ability to select gears and the other half on all the idiots around you so finishing the day really glad to get to bed! That transmission computer I spoke about will recognize every occasion when the truck can coast, measuring the gross weight, the gradient, the current gear selected, the ambient temperature, and a host of other stuff so it can automatically disengage the transmission allowing the RPM to reduce to idle thereby saving fuel until the parameters change requiring the engine to push again wherupon it will re-engage the drive-train and return the engine RPM to the correct level for the gear and road speed - and all with no input from the driver whatsoever! Some manufacturers now offer transmission control linked to satellite-navigation systems so the truck can be aware of the fact that it is approaching a steep hill and select the right gear just when the extra torque is needed to climb with minimal loss of speed. The living accomodation in European trucks is far behind N America but we have a maximum length limit of 16.5 metres. Max length trucks here have no space between cab and trailer. Connecting air and electrics to a trailer is done by driving under the nose of the trailer, connecting the lines, and then hooking the pin in the 5th wheel with the lines already connected.
The frieght linner is built by mercs, and trust me as a UK Truck driver they are Crap. But perterbuilt they rock lol but then we don't get the BIG trucks here, we have to make do with a coffin lol
What's your point exactly? Auto trucks can be held in any gear you choose just like a manual - so railroad crossings are no problem! They really are the best of both worlds!!
+Malcolm Bell You might be able to hold the gear for a while but, if you get too slow it will go into anti-stall and disengage. Then what happens if you lose engine power? Do they have electric power steering now? They didn't when I drove them and it happened once on a high crowned road. Not fun.
These things are both palaces on wheels. It wasn't long ago you had a seat and a bunk. You had to change clothing laying down. No TV, no APU, no nothing.
Give us more Road driving with your commentary, a great learning experience
That roof fairing isnt there for "looks to take up space" lol its to break wind from hitting the front of the trailer aka aero dynamic aka saving fuel. Lol,
I compliment you on a very thorough video, very knowledgeable.

Prime is about the only carrier my carrier can pass on the road on a regular basis.

Yeah thats a ton of room lol , I like it.. I have one more year before I can get out on the road, I can't wait
We waiting on ya!!!
+OnPoint Trucking Concepts With LoShawn Parks I got 5 more months

+BIG MIKE (REEL LIFE TRUCKING) hey I appreciate that Mike. You know I got you homie
I have 2017 casc evolution too.

Yes sir, the Freightliner truck I have my eye. Peterbilt driver amenities are nice and stylist but I'd pass on it as well.

That pete is pretty... but that roof I'm with you on that. I need to stand!
Like that Pete except the mid roof! #Bitter sweet.Nice video
It's a raised roof.
Nice I got 4 more months before I can start training as an apprentice
That top bunk looka tight as heck. What did you join the navy or something. That looks about the space you'd have on a carrier ship or a submarine.
I used to detail the inside of the mid roofs,and I'm only 5/6..and I was just able to stand up,without hitting my head.
Hello, thank you for sharing!! I know am going to look for the stick!
My dad has a 2012 KW t660 with the paccar engine used with over 500,000 miles and we had only one electrical issue which was a DEF sensor which ended up bricking the truck

But atleast we don't have to worry about engine rebuilds any time soon lol
on the 579 that table that come out dash is so your co driver can role blunts more easy
Your first truck must be the truck you're destined to have...
Thanks for the info, i just put my application in the other day for Prime, thinking of going tanker or flatbed
that Pete is NICE!!! have you talked with other Pete owners to see if they too are having electrical issues or is ur truck just experiencing problems? I know there is another prime driver who drives 2016 freightliner and he is having many problems with his truck in and out the shop.

thanks raul fr
I'm guessing you're a Prime driver. How long and how do you like it?
it's automatic if you choose to use the stick is on the column it's not on the floor anymore
Will these be the trucks for drivers in 2018? Thats when I'll be driving for prime hopefully.
That door is for the lot lizards to jump out
Alex EspoWRX 😂😂😂😂
good work keep it jack
+Charles thaGreat thank you
Automatic! Fantastic XD
Those trucks look dope AF. Do you get to request an automatic after your done with all of your training and go solo with PRIME? I ask because I'll arrive for training this Sunday. When I'm done learning all I need to know, I'd rather an automatic (don't judge me. I'm a simple man).
Trust me get the gear if your going to be a long hauler if you will be just city go automatic

Kool vid bro !
would I have to turn it down you think. because I was going with a Fitzgerald and hopefully do flatbed
Any news you have on electric trucks? Or any type of backup camera system?
2017 Cascadia looks identical to my 2015.
Nice
Yo great inside look fam. Would you say Lease PAYMENT wise the Cascadia is the cheapest tractor to choose?
+FallingLeaf yes. Cause to me, peterbilt stay in the shop and in the long run that fucks with your bottom line.
OnPoint Trucking Concepts With LoShawn Parks I appreciate it family, I just submitted my application this morning with your name on it. Stay blessed hope to talk to you some time. I will be going with the Cascadia god willing I get approved.
16 time in the shop.
I haven't been once.
You must have got a bad truck pimp.
Tony, do the reefer drivers have to load and unload their trucks?
+Kevin Freyenhagen no just hook and unhook trailers
I will never get into a 60 mph Prime truck. Driving a truck that slow might end up falling asleep before you get to your customers
All trucks will be governed at 65 mph soon. Thanks to the government.
If you let you that alone put you to sleep, you probably shouldn't be behind a wheel period. Lol.
If you go too fast you're spending too much on fuel.
If you're leasing and you've been in the shop that many times why haven't you turned the truck in? You do realize that you have a walk away lease right?
Does Prime look at job history pretty hard? My resume isn't pretty; a lot of job hopping in my history.
Mr. Parks where are you from, Charlotte N. C. correct? How old are you? How long have you been driving?
Can you request that kind of truck when you lease or are you limited too what they got on the yard?
Are you back with Prime?
wants popping. just want to give u a heads up.Friend of mine has a 2016 peterbilt he found his electric issue with a bad ground behind the dash. just a heads up.
how you like the automatic have you had a chance to test drive one yet.
+Christopher Mack I did. I think it's pretty smooth. Not to shabby
I'm a 37 old guy.
looking forward to going a trucking school.
but I'm wondering.
will my background stop me.
one Felony?
this question, is for.
any trucker!
only way to find out is to ask, every company is different.
was your peterbilt that you had was a 587?
So questions. #1 say I go to prime and go through CDL school with them.Will I be in this truck or something similar? #2 How many miles does prime give out after CDL graduation giving no turned down loads.
great video brother but hey my man you have to do a video on the 2017 international prostar and the kenworth T680
+Anthony Leftwich didn't know prime was getting T680 anymore
Oh Damn oh ok thanks for that Info my man stay safe need doing your thing we will see yo at prime Inc. On th 25th of April ready for the leasing my I'm loving the info that you are bringing freightliner I will definitely go with auto tired of shifting bang bang freightliner gang that Volvo sit down
so if a person comes to prime in 2017 are they going to have standard shift available to choose from ?
What about a Western Star ? Just like trucker Josh. Has a DT-12.
+bt4b4 not a prime unless you lease it on to prime, but they are not using that as a fleet truck right now.
cool, be safe bro !
so you don't have to ever worries about shifting gears???
Guaranteed I would trip on that cup holder on the floor
It's for your thermos
I have a question not related to this video, if for the 1st year that I'm a reefer driver to complete my tuition obligation, do they have routes in the northeast...vermont, NH, maine??? I live in southern vermont....
+Tony Montana Tony, thanks for the insight. I do see Prime trucks on the interstate, but didn't know how often they come through here and NH and Maine. I would hope that if I decide to do this, that I would gets runs up through here every so often.
what you mean by if u go to another company with a prime truck?
I want to only drive a automatic I hope i can get on with prime and get one but I was wondering do I have to live in the same state to drive for prime currently in Florida
lowshawn u banging that fridge door All up lol
Hate those drive tires on those trucks. Other that they both look nice
Turn your contracts with Prime into ooida to have them review them
If you leave prime do you keep the truck?
Can you do a video on the 2017 internationals proStar
+John Frazier I will once I see one bro
So if I bought into the company with my own truck like you were saying about that PTI truck would I still be able to run under their authority? I know before we had spoken on fb and you said I'd be on the logistics side. what's that about
yes. from my understanding you can bring whatever truck yoy want to prime as long it's done to there specs if you are running under there authority
Do you still have your lease business vids available?

Is prime a good company to work for how's the money
No KW's?
Still surprised that N American trucks have got so far to go to be as technologically advanced as those in Europe!
OK - OK I can hear the howls of derision and sound of hysterical laughter but hear me out please.
The Freightliner will look instantly familiar to anyone on this side of the pond who drives a Mercedes. That steering wheel is the last generation both in trucks and cars. In both classes of Merc vehicles it has been replaced by the current generation (tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/current/trucks/brochures/products/The-new-Actros.pdf)

can you order one with disc brakes?
how many yrs on the truck payments for the new ones
+James Jensen 3 years
If not for lease operators Prime would have went out of business along time ago
The frieght linner is built by mercs, and trust me as a UK Truck driver they are Crap. But perterbuilt they rock lol
but then we don't get the BIG trucks here, we have to make do with a coffin lol
What are the lease trucks governed at
What wrong with your peterbilt I'm the process of getting a 579
589 is a piece of shit
are you guys leasing that truck
I am 6' 8" Tall . Hi high would you say the Freight liner height is in the sleeper.
+BH 24/7 the freightliner is definitely gonna fit you better bro. I'm not sure but it has a tall roof
Thanks for responding. Thanks for taking the time to show and share your knowledge on trucking.

Go to WEL Companies out of De Pere, WI. They have a lot better trucks, and they pay a lot better!
Hard to believe
wonder why no westeren stars?
are all your trucks auto shift?
+francorama no just the new ones coming in are. Now you can order a manual for $2000 more if you go lease purchase
Can you tell whether prime is still doing UA drug screening or hair follicle?
I hate automatic trucks
i just drove a 2016 Cascadia automatic ( rental) for 2 months, I did adjust to it and it was so simple to drive that I became bored, lol.
Me too driving a big rig I have to be in control far as maintaining speed, especially when fools cut in front of you.
Get a Kenworth t680!
No Stick, No Way!
+Robert Wicker You'll learn - eventually...!
Malcolm Bell Learn what?
Malcolm Bell FMCSA 392.10
What's your point exactly? Auto trucks can be held in any gear you choose just like a manual - so railroad crossings are no problem! They really are the best of both worlds!!
+Malcolm Bell You might be able to hold the gear for a while but, if you get too slow it will go into anti-stall and disengage. Then what happens if you lose engine power? Do they have electric power steering now? They didn't when I drove them and it happened once on a high crowned road. Not fun.
I always had pet problems
Nice truck but mid roof wouldn't work for u . Need the interior room
ima get the light weight you get paid more for driving them and I'm all about the dollar
nice video however, ill stick with my 2018 peterbilt.
