This brother sounds like he is trucking ONLY because he loves trucking!!! Much respect
Thats foolish if you want haul for Money, it makes only sense put that Money into it, if going to Truckshows.. For that Amount you can get your Truck plated in Gold in Mexico, but oversee the work and sleep in the Truck while they working on it.... 😂😂👍
yes sir!! well said brother!
This guy speaks my language.. that own this truck ... it cost money not to be at the back of the line ..
Peterbilt is the main reason why I wanted to go OTR! Love the way they look 🔥
Now bro , I drive a company 2016 Freightliner and she's good to me. She said to tell you that she'll beat that truck up any hill empty LOL.
But that inside is super clean and $80,000 will turn into $800,000. Stay bless ✌🏾
Blessed*
Shhhh some of us get what the hell we can afford 🤣👍
Alex!!! " End of the week it's all worth it" gotta love the positivity.
I don't think I would be having a good end of the week with an $80k repair bill.
I understand about spending the money to get the 🐎 power where he wants it.
Just wrote a check for $27,145 today to get my ole 94 379 back on the road. Kind of a hard pill to swallow some times.
Nowadays I see a whooooooole lot more hood semis out on the roads than I do cabovers here in the USA unlike back in the 1980s & down when I saw a lot of both cabovers & hoods around, a big mix. Of course things have changed like the 65ft length limit was lifted which eliminated the need for cabovers to pull trailers that exceeded a certain length. The USA is one out of very few countries today that has only a small number of cabovers besides fire trucks, garbage trucks, yard trucks, & small non-semi trucks like those Isuzus which are also cabovers.
Sweet truck and a coool accent!!! We got it bros!
$80,000 well worth it. Great job restoring this truck.
If u drive a peterbilt or cascadia. You get paid the same per mile. The money u spend on lights and chrome. U can put in your pocket.
Not bad. I got a 2006 with "150k platinum". First time i hooked up to trailer. Lot's of smoke. No power. Blew oil cap off. After sitting for 2 months at mechanic's dealership. Dealer said nothing wrong with it. So we did the turbos praying that was the issue. Next 30 days tranny blew. Then next 30 days later, the engine, coolant and always had that oil consumption and now are doing THE overhaul "again".
That Driver keep it 💯💯💯I Love my Hoods and my Cat motors and all.But end of the day Don't matter what Type of Truck you drive or wagon you pull all about the $$$$...If this game is in your Blood or Not...
Very nice....respect I love peterbelt s😎✊🇲🇽🇺🇸
But, now U know exactly what U have. Complete NEW ENGINE & Trk with EXCELLENT RESALE VALUE!!!!🏆😎💯
Hells no!
Depends on the market and what people are willing to pay. You can have the new motor and all the bezels and whistles people are only going to pay what they want to pay and depending on economic conditions may not get no where near what was put into the vehicle.
Classic LONG HOOD trks will HOLD THEIR VALUE!!!!!!
@@scottycollins175 as long as retards pay for them
If U don't like LONG HOOD TRKS,then why U on the channel complaining??😳🤔😬🤯
Big trucks big bucks!
I’m with this guy I like to be the 1st to the top of the hill as well I could relate
Worth every penny👍
Those baby steering wheel cracks me up I liked the wheels we had in the 70s no powersteering
My hero 🤣😭🤣.... he said I don’t wanna be last at the top of the hill
Awesome video
I love your honesty. I've beaten many a Pete's with my Mack and they toss their noses up when I pass.
What model Mack do you have ? I have an old mack model r e6 300 gold dog on the hood
I have too. With my old 2012 raggedy ass Volvo 670. 906k miles on my ISX and still draggin them asses......
My mechanic says drive gently if you don't want to see me more often, I pick up slowly and don't drive over 70 it doesn't mean my truck have no power
2014 Pinnacle midroof.
To call someone a different breed because they drive freightliners is like thinking it's ok to drive around in a truck named after a man's private part
(peter-bilt) lol 😂😂
Exactly people need to buy what they like and what they want. That narrative you should go with a cascadia etc. In order to make it is crazy. If you buy a hood you won't be prosperous is foolish.
Going threw the same thing right now bought a w9 for 90k and put over 30k in it just starting out idk what I'm going to do now it's in the shop getting the trans done idk how I'm even going to get it out so I guess it's good to see this
Best of wishes on your indevors. I've gone threw rebuilds my self. But u pay and you play. Keep your maintenance. And keep 30 to 50 in bank. And long hours in your system. Sacrifice and save. But good 4 you for having the drive
Furst woo. Awesome ride
I gotta long hood a custom paint job can cost over 30k that's just paint the engine you could spend 30k or more the money you put in a Pete you can get back when you sell it they hold in value.
Freightliner for life bro !!!!
Beautiful truck
Miss my 04 extended hood
Dam that is a beautiful Peter
Expensive as hell Im $55,000 plus in mines and I aint even started on the cosmetics, but we getting there a full refurb
I just got rid of my 2012 587 now i gots me a 2016 579 .... Hopefully a 389 is next
Don't get me wrong, I love Peterbilts but some of those Freightliner guys are pretty smart and can have 2-3 trucks compared to the cost of your one Pete. Perspective is everything.
According to your math a Peterbilt will make 2-3 trips before a Frieghtliner makes one.
I don't like being last up the hill I love to be first lmao 😂 legend
This makes me so incredibly, incredibly scared to get into owner ops....
You need a lot of money and a damn good mechanic to look at your truck before you buy it. It’s easy to hide broken shit and you don’t know what truck you got until you put 80k behind it.
Don't be scared, I bought a 2015 international prostar 450k miles with a Cummins engine...fleet owned....been a good truck so far....nobody needs a 100k truck to start
Plus freedom is everything
Being an owner op is NOT for everyone. Being a business owner is NOT for everyone. If that was so then there wouldn’t be any employees except maybe kids in High School. Don’t believe the hype some of these guys tell you that “everyone should go buy a truck” do you have this kind of money to drop into a truck? Most don’t. That’s why lease programs exist. They’re also geared to profit the company not you. That’s why most of them are walk away leases. Nothing wrong with being a company driver if your making good money.
Reality
I have a feeling this guy will be driving trucks the rest of his life lol.
Definitely a future old timer someday
🤣 ... Absolutely. He a deep country boy and for some reason, he feels great about his decision.... Pretty sad 😭...the life he's commiting himself to.
@@vroor32 he's committing to a great life if he manages his money right
So true
I ran LTL 47years now I'm laying on my 80k couch not a worry in the world
Brother I had the exact same thing happen to me it lasted along enough to get me from Chicago to texas . On my first load with it it blow up . An 25k later.
Alex!!! Except for the repair bills!!!
Damn it boy!
Thats a beautiful truck....but if u gonna turn up an engine its not gonna last that long
he is he is selecting high range while in neutral going into 5th. Eaton tag specifically states to preselect.
Nice machine... OD in the house baby. I used to be in foodservice and doing LTL for a reason, more $$$.
What is LTL?
@@davidhunter9974 less than a load (partials)
David Hunter That means you have more than one stop loaded in your truck you might make four drop offs at four different stores if you’re hauling groceries for instants.
Thanks for the responses gentlemen.
is that a 16” steering ?
when you get old trucks first 1-2 months you will spend serious money
i spent $4500 on fuel lines/fuel pump/ new lights and bunch of interior stuff as well as new water pump and flushed fluids etc
1st run my speedometer stopped working. water temp guage. cruise control. air leak like 6-7 areas. spend $4000 on fixing all that plus getting new ecm and replacing all airlines
basically prepare to spend 10k- 15k in first 2/3 months
thats why i got it cheap and enough to do all that cash. now it runs like a dream
Well I’m sure he wouldn’t have windowed the motor if he kept it under 500hp. If it’s over 1m miles maybe chewed a cam but it would have lasted longer if it even blew up in the first place. When you start pushing an aged stock motor like that, it’s guaranteed to blow up
So I walk in for the 2nd time to a Freightliner dealer in Elmhurst Illinois where they are working on my truck and I haven’t seen the truck for 2 months and I ask the supervisor, hey can I see my truck? He says “No”. Flat out just like that.
Whats wrong with it? And what ended up happening? How much longer did it take?
Own a hood truck ....I know the feeling
I drove just about all the trucks I’m a freight shaker type of guy
Freight shaker classic for life!! Lol
Thought you would ask what's the MPG he's getting
I'm in the same boat
Curious to know what motor he has.
I’m guessing isx
Most C15 run close 800,000+ kms after a rebuild
He said clearly " c15 "
My limit on my first rig was 10k in repairs in 6 months. Next repair was gonna be 15k, hell no. Got rid of it.
Next truck no repairs for 1 year $$$$$$
No rig should cost u more then 10k a year in repairs. If so, get rid of it
Better yet, just get out of the business in general.
@@jibril2473 ? Where did that come from
What was the next truck after your first one
U haven't been truckin
@@bobnewhart4318 newer truck. From a 389 to a 579 peterbilt. Been loving it. Better fuel mileage, built in apu, refrigerator
Hey bro idk if you will read this but how can i get a Mutha Trucker hat?? Let me know please i want one
I put $9k in my Cascadia the first month I bought it. Then $8k the next month. $4k the month after. Now I still have some small things to do for it but it’s just maintenance that never got done from the previous owner that will add up to another $5k next month. I always say you got to have a heart of steel and grit to run your own truck. It will get to you if you can’t handle stress. Save your damn money and never get in debt. I love my truck and I will keep it for my entire career even if it isn’t a hood truck. The money is there but you have to be smart about it.
what engine? and how many miles??
@@VinylMan3000 DD15 with 1m miles. I got it for very cheap and expected things to break and be neglected. I put $7k in new tires before I even brought it home. My experience will be different than yours. If I could go back I would have bought a glider with paper logs because nothing else matters. It’s extremely difficult to run hard on eLogs. It will trip you up and you’ll lose brokers fast.
This is probably why it is better to purchase a truck that’s fairly new
Even a new truck can blow up.
@@patryk2497 you will have a warranty and less chances of that occurring if the truck isn’t a lemon
@@deronr7560 how much money do you lose waiting a month for that warranty repair
@SATrans....$0.00, if you’re smart!
@@willstar3468 you obviously haven’t been in the game long enough. Brand new truck plus insurance plus loss of revenue. You can have a truck getting warranty work for 3 months or more. You think just because you have warranty you’re first in line to get work done?
I'm thinking about leasing a truck with the walk away option. But I wanr to work local tho
Don't lease if you want local work. Unless you have a good plug.
@@oscarmarroquin4374 yeah I agree 100%. If I can find one of those go there drop trailer off and drive back and be home. I'll lease that bad boy and be home that day lol
Wait, hold on. How tf much does LTL pay? Company or owner-op?
Lol I love frieghtliner. Peterbilt drivers lol
Tow bill alone was probably $10,000
That’s the truth cuz get into what you like what you feel proud of owning and don’t go for them cheap truck get your self something to start of that actually worth it we’re your maintenance is not going to be 1 month after you buy it my thoughts
Home 595 truck stop
I bought 07 379 and it's been nothing the bills.
So freightliner are bad? Can someone explain. I didn't get the reference when the trucker said "those freightliner are a different breed."
They are ugly as sin.(except the classic XL's but the 379 is still a better looker)The sleeper isn't as nice (smaller mattress width and cheap plastic cupboards) but easier to get in and out of. Freightliners are way more comfortable due to a much larger seating area and leg room. I drove a 379 with a C15 and 13 speed. It was a fun truck to drive. It took me a couple weeks to get used to because it had a long wheel base and a turning radius of a cruise ship. I currently drive a used fleet spec (stripped down i.e. few gauges telling me what's going on with the truck and basic trim) 2016 Cascadia automatic with the DD15. I prefer a standard but the other freightliner I drove had a 10 speed standard and I didn't like the shift pattern.(the 13 or 18 is much easier). You can dial up the C15 to insane amounts of power but if your not heavy hauling your just throwing money away. I got around 5 to 5.5 miles a gallon with the Pete because it wasn't turned up. The cascadia gets anywhere from 6-7 mpg depending on weight and terrain. I deleted the DEF on the DD15 in the Cascadia and turned it up a bit. Due to the automatic transmission it's not as fast off the line as the Pete but will blow its doors off fully loaded up a mountain. However it now gets almost identical fuel milage as a long hood pete post deletion and turn up. The C15 wasn't turned up at all though. I drove a turned up C15 in a heavy haul International Eagle and it would rip the tires off the rim. Got 4 mpg bobtail with the wind behind you though. Basically the Peterbilts look pretty but have their own issues. Probably last longer than a cascadia freightliner but will cost more up front and in parts/repairs. Trucking is a job for me and it's all about the money so I doubt I'll drive another long hood over the road. For a guy who's in it because he really enjoys trucking and likes to show off his rig then he probably wouldn't be caught dead in my Cascadia. Hope this clears a little bit up for you.
If you ain't first, your second.
I'd rather be last up the hill if my truck is gonna make me more money
What is ltl
Less Than Load (partial load)
I was thinking about this too because company trucks load their trucks to the max and they are in the shop more often. Taking partial loads you'll still get the same or more per mile, spend less on fuel, less strain on your rig too.
Damn 60k for a truck that blew up after a month 😬
I would've ran that truck straight into the dealership I bought it from
Yeah, true....bought a 20k prostar with Cummins....almost 50k miles still running...made plenty of money so far...no need for a gas guzzling show truck as a new owner op
Any other trucker notice the radar detector @ 0:51 and it was gone after 🤣🤣 we all run them on the dash that way. Not the window 🚛💨💨💨
🤫
Good eye
you know what's sad if you own a truck like that?..... ok I'll tell U: Pumping tons of $ over the years and just when you have it just the way you want it someone crashes into your truck and their insurance doesn't want to pay for the repairs so what do you get? a settlement check and a truck listed as a salvaged leaving your heavily invested truck worthless.
Alex don’t kno how to drive truck that the truth people lol
It cost him that because he probably don't wrench on it himself. That's why us "different breeds" be rolling while that large car is a parked in a shop's bay. But she's puuurty though. Guess that's all that matters.
Atl what that means
LTL ..... not full trailer load if I remember correctly. Typically local or multi stops. Hopefully someone else can chime in.
LTL = Less Than Load. Basically full (be it low) rate to deliver partials for large companies who need stuff now. And there are far more lucrative ventures for the savvy.
This title is misleading. That isn’t the truth about hood trucks, just one man’s experience and his own biased opinion.
Why not buy a new truck with that money.
You won’t get me to trade my hood truck W900 for anything. You get what you pay for. There’s a reason why hood trucks are always in demand. They’re built to last and haul freight.
80k u say sounds like u paid someone to fix it
Hey Asian why didn't you drive it you could do like you did at my house that night try to steal a brand new truck out of my barn drive over all the construction and tear up the truck and tear up a bunch of construction did over almost 250,000 in damage won't you drive his truck for him I mean hell I just show people what I know driving mother or no driving son of a gun you really are don't you worry Asian I'm not done humiliating you and Mike yet 0
I'd buy a cheaper truck.
Let me ask you a question man I'm just everything you're saying just don't make sense not really thought you're talking in circles how long you been trucking first of all I didn't say anything offensive I just asked you how long you been trucking that's what I said how long have you been trucking yes I didn't say nothing offensive and I didn't say any nasty word so how long have you been driving truck here how you been driving truck a year and you feel like you got the experience that you should be running 800 horsepower and you should be at the top of the hill first over a person that's been out there for 40 50 years you feel like you should be up there to the top right and don't you think that's a little bit one-sided and then you say you know about the LTL if you're hauling freight freight is free okay if you're home LTL tell you you want to haul you want to make extra money for the aggravation then that's what you're doing that's your choice that's your choice so you know you make it sound like you're forced into this nobody forced anybody into anything you're doing this cuz you want to well then quit acting like that you know well that's just it you act like that you know everybody's got a choice on everything when you haul freight you drive a truck a lot of times you don't have a choice you got to take it and that's just the way it is you may not like it but it does happen to have that way well you need to do your job just as much as everybody else I've been out here over 50 years and I still when I when I go out and call Frazier put a refrigerated load on or something and that loads got to be on the floor I still got to pay a lumper to take it off or do it myself and I ain't doing it no more I'm not unloading no more freight playing simple that's my choice yeah it's it's not for anybody else so I always call and have a lumper lined up if I'm taking a load it to slip sheet and it's got to be unloaded and setting the floor block or six blocks or how they want it I make sure the guy that's unloading it knows how to do it I go to the truck and go to bed wake me up when you're done that's the way it is I mean there's no other yeah so but it was my choice to take that refrigerated load see to be honest with you on the refrigerator trailer ain't nothing but a waste of money cost you $80,000 for a trailer 80,000 bucks for a trailer I should know Asian you should know your friend Karen ledford she buys trailers and charges them to me and sell them to other people with boot finance remember that fly by night finance company yeah you know who it is you you and Mike you interview only people that sentence got boot financing or American finance with Sully or or the new military finance that wind is a bank or have a limited liability LLC no such thing but well that's what she's got on her advertisement in her on Facebook where LLC really you ain't LLC and being a bank I can assure you that FDIC if you ain't got left here I see back and you're not a bank Mike you an egg and that's all you been doing but I watched every show you God and it's always a truck all of her 11 years I've been doing this and then I'm I'm 18 years old when I got the truck and I'm 20 now and I've got nine trucks really so just a few years you got nine trucks that don't add up man just don't add up is that your independently wealthy there is no way in hell you got nine trucks not legally it's just it just it's the truth you may not like it but it is the truth unless you got somebody like Karen left for their Sully that's giving you backyard financing where they make you think you're with the credit bureau but there is no credit bureau what's wrong Karen you don't like me that's the truth Michigan State Police knows all about it so does Monroe county Police they know all about you care and your bogus finance company I've got over 100 trucks back here in the last weekend almost two weeks almost 100 trucks and trailers I've got back it's pretty bad isn't it there's no way these people can pay the payments Karen that you have them on with your bogus finance there's no way they can pay the payments that's why I just got right here I know damn well he can't afford that truck I know you can't afford it and you're struggling to make the payment you're going to be bringing it to me for me to take it back because I'm the one that funded the money for you to do it I'm be knowing to me but my attorney and I have figured out how it's happening along with Detroit trailer telling the truth how many trailers that Karen has purchased and John ledford's name where John ledford had to pay for them and then Karen resold them it's the truth I got back four dump trailers today remember Karen you were fussing because you never seen that one and it's so pretty remember I got it Karen he brought it to me with a red Peterbilt and he brought it to me so so good that's that's the truth and Asian you need to know you know you need to quit on this interview and strictly boot financing and and give the real truck driver a chance instead of just to all all my built this truck 11 years ago you told that story you Asian told that story and Green Bay Wisconsin with blue line distribution in who owns blue line now right Asian who owns Blue line are blueless and who owns it I do I bought it every truck they had was finished with actually financed through boot financing and the trailers were all financed and sold to John ledford we're carrying manipulated the paperwork over into bluelation if you want to talk to Detroit trailer won't you interview them right now but he's dying to tell the truth you damn sure ain't coming over an interview and me are you you've been in Florida a dozen times and you haven't bothered to come by and see me and interview me you don't want to interview me because I'm not going to play the game that you're playing with Karen and you need to tell the truth what's
How can you be so discriminatory towards a man that drives a Freightliner I just ordered 200 of them 250 cameras 150 Peterbilt 200 Western Stars how can you be so discriminatory people why are there different breed ever thank you a different breed cuz you're a bullshiter you're sitting here trying to make the truck driving world believe what you're trying to feed him well that's what you and Asian are doing trying to feed him a line of b******* if that's
I bet you asain mai drives a automatic truck
He drives internationals
Let me ask you driver are you current on your payments no but yet you're doing an interview right what did they do they will give you an extra 10 days if you do the interview well I think personally I got the tag number off the truck so I got the address where you live or where you're business is yeah I have I have that address and I'll just turn it over to my attorney Mr Benson how you doing sir Vincent here yeah this guy's got a truck with boot financing you want to tell him what we know about group financing why don't we tell him what we know about it so the radio land out church and find out or are you scared for them to know that patient you're scared from to know what it's all about because that truck right there at the end of the show he's bringing me that truck to I-94 and Roosevelt road and go south 6 7 miles will left hand side farmer Underwood Michelle building turn in there that's the New Bedford terminal for Bedford financial recovery room yeah yeah he went there and see misunderwood yeah just checked the truck down there okay and when you get done my attorney and I you won't have any scratch or dent at all on your credit report she can't put something on there that don't exist right so take your truck back and get rid of the headache cuz it 10 speed that's what I saw when I finish busted Western Ohio truck today Michelle and stolen trucks yeah trucks Karen had took them they were on by John legend or stolen from John legend he can't cool Asian and no need to get mad Asian no need to get mad Karen didn't say nothing bad all I said was the truth Karen you're running a bogus Bank it don't exist I know it well if you know it why are you trying to run it
One thing you need to realize care you can screw people for a while but after you do it over and over and over they figure out what you're doing I don't care you don't like what I had to say you stay up there you don't care and then down here you said I don't like it you know what can you it'd be a big party for freedom of speech you can't you can't say no haven't you realized yet Karen you're not going to get out of jail
Take your meds retard 😂
Makes no sense
Is it me of does this guy seem like he didn't even want to get interviewed.
He can’t speak
What year?
