I would say go for the black KW. Major upgrade from the Lonestar. But if you do decide on the KW, get someone to come take a look at its problems first.
I still like the looks of your Lonestar better. I mean, if it performs as well as the others and gets similar MPG, then why not just upgrade it with the pieces that are missing that the others offer, like more rear chicken lights and an APU etc. I realize the sleeper situation isnt better but, you know where everything is in your truck, (like where to hang the glad-hands and you have an actual rear work light on back of the sleeper) there are no surprises. I'm old school tho, if it aint broke dont fi it! Keep 'em turning so you stay earning... God Bless you and all the Long Haulers out on the road bringing everyone else the stuff they need to survive!
Trade in for the black one, you got to stop scratching in the beginning of taking off . Remember that clutch is a hydraulic clutch you don’t have press down all the way like a spring loaded clutch. I have a W900
beautiful trucks man i used to drive tankers in the late 70s and early 90s our picks where transtar2s maybe a eagle or the 79 pete cabover or a snubnozed ford weak detroit 285hp with 42000lbs climbing a hill in nebraska you could actually open door and walk along side it with drivers door open.yes i did it was bored one night
THIS IS ALL YOU !!!! Let that International go... Great Truck..... It will grow on you young man . Pray in it..... You are the one that has to drive it. Peace-Out
When your empty you don't have to split the gears you can run it like a 10 speed same with your 13speed just split them when your heavy or going up big hills
THIS TRUCK IS JUST RIGHT FOR YOU....... In trucking there says an APU IS VERY NEEDEDY. The W-900 is for you.. From your Ol School (RET) Trucker from the Class of 82. "' BONECRUSHER out of VA. You look perfect in a Kenworth. Stay Safe and Blessed. I'm a new subscriber,,,,,,,, great Channel.
That’s a hard one, I like the black W9. I’d say check the price and see how much they’ll give you for the LoneStar and if you think it’s a good deal, go for it if not I’d wait. Haven’t been looking at the truck market like I was two years ago. But I like that Black one. The sleeper size is amazing and the fact it’s got an APU is a plus
She's beautiful I think you should do it but it's really up to you your decision. I've always wanted a W9 It's a decision you're gonna have to make but I don't envy you
A thousand and one facts to analyze , then balance between family and work. Have you checked out the newest Kenworth / Peterbilt arrow fuel efficient truck's yet ? I suggested to my niece get professional automatic transmission training ,oh never anything but a stick shift period. Guess what she's now driving a automatic transmission semi truck and painfully admitted she wished she'd looked into the professional training. I told her reacting fast from mussel memory stick shift or automatic transmission saves lives and equipment.
I'd make sure that motor is sturdy, it has more miles than the red white and blue one but that is definitely a nice truck, but your payment stay the same as on your other truck, you do what you feel is best for you
From the way it sounds do more research those miles will be close to a rebuilt which will cost you plenty if your truck is a Detroit it will be much cheaper to rebuild.
I'm a W9 fan,check it out& few issues it's more room heavier and it's right color and alittle higher on miles,hell I would trade my lonestar in a heart beat!!
Follow alot of trucking channels, not sure why since I've been a machinist for 35 years. But you moved up to #2 behind Bruce. All the others just want to gloat about what the own and talk there family up which is plane as day to see its all scripted and nothing whats so ever to do with trucking. Glad you keep it real.
That is nice. But another thing to think about too is Parts available in case of an emergency? Where. You're not? Stuck for 2 weeks 3 weeks whatever of the case maybe another thing to consider..
I just subscribed to your channel. This video is my first video of yours but I enjoyed it alot. I like how chill you are and ask questions as if we were there. I would have lost my cool when you were having a hard time trying to unhook your trailer. I like the look of your truck best but I don't know how it looks inside or drives. I hope to see it in a future video. Good luck with your decision. 1:00:15
Why didn't you buy the Black W900 with Apu? Was she 18 speed? Should have traded your truck for black W900. As you said so much more room and she prob would been more reliable :) Still I know this video old now but good video.
I didn’t want to pay $160k+ for it. Plus, I don’t think they were going to fix the current repairs on it. If they did, the price would probably increase.
@@GRINDNGEARZ That’s understandable. Still watching your video and catching up. Maybe one day can find older 389 or w900. But thanks for reply man. Stay safe and keep on trucking :)
Only thing with the blk one is the mileage. If the monthly bill is not gonna squeeze much on ur finances do it🤙🤙🤙🤙only thing is that the turning radius is crappy🤙🤙🤙🤙
That's a kenworth..lol. I drive a t 680 it's not too bad but sometimes I still have to back up to complete a turn..thank goodness my hood is shorter and lower I can see over it better..as far as the hood mirrors the mounts are there. Kenworth will sell you the mirrors, and you can pop them in and on the black w -900 bit. All seats have both arm rests. Depends on. What seats are in it, but if you want, you can put your arm on the edge of the door it's like an arm rest
The engine is actually over due for its overhaul, it should have been done closer to 500,000 as a rule . The reason its for sale is no doubt the owner didn't want to spend the money to do the necessary work on the engine. Be wary, consult a professional diesel mechanic, ultimately it's your money and livelihood. Good luck. Cheers !
The key is on but the engine is off. Of course the check engine light is on. The cabinet you want to take out has the table. You’re going to get rid of the table?
I like the black one but it's really up to you. Maybe if he was able to drive Each of them for a week and see how you like it. But I prefer the black one and I'm like you. It's got an APU save you on your fuel.
I would say go for the black KW. Major upgrade from the Lonestar. But if you do decide on the KW, get someone to come take a look at its problems first.

Personally like the blue with the lesser miles, but you have to do what is best for you!
That’s called button tuck. Not diamond stitching.
Definitely the second KW (Black/Grey) with the “A-Team” scheme … love the tail lights on it 👍🏽
I like the black KW inside the cabinet over the icebox is a peace of wood is a table and that Knob next to the radio is a cell phone mount.

I think that black truck is a good trade, especially if the price is right! The roominess inside the sleeper is nice!
When your empty you don't have to split the gears you can run it like a 10 speed same with your 13speed just split them when your heavy or going up big hills
That’s how I usually do it. I just split the gears for practice.

Both are nice, hard decision. I’d go for the blue one with lower miles, but in the end it’s your decision!!
That so called knob next to the computer screen is a MAGNET for a phone or whatever!
You got a wife and kids. You not be home as much. With that truck payment. Don’t let them rip you off on your truck.
1 Q
as far as the truck situation goes, it really depends on your finances. In this market as well that is a big ask
She's beautiful I think you should do it but it's really up to you your decision. I've always wanted a W9 It's a decision you're gonna have to make but I don't envy you

It crazy. You're thinking of buying a w9. And justruckin might be selling his. And he got you into this RUclips stuff.
I'd make sure that motor is sturdy, it has more miles than the red white and blue one but that is definitely a nice truck, but your payment stay the same as on your other truck, you do what you feel is best for you
I was getting ready to tell you the side windows open. I like the black with the red stripe. If you can afford it take the Black truck. Good luck.
the blue one low mileage very nice truck
I love W900s, so I'd say either seems good.
Hi guy I say the blue truck man really nice. Greetings from the Netherlands
I like the frist one
Great job, try it out and hope you like it. Building for the future.
From the way it sounds do more research those miles will be close to a rebuilt which will cost you plenty if your truck is a Detroit it will be much cheaper to rebuild.
Are they set up the same engine and gearing, they are both nice. Which one will make you more money. Show the engines and HP
I'm a W9 fan,check it out& few issues it's more room heavier and it's right color and alittle higher on miles,hell I would trade my lonestar in a heart beat!!
SPACE is limited on the sides of the sleeper due to having the sofa. If it had a regular bed on the bottom, the storage would be twice as tall.
I would say the thing you were playing with next to the touch screen is a phone holder
Follow alot of trucking channels, not sure why since I've been a machinist for 35 years. But you moved up to #2 behind Bruce. All the others just want to gloat about what the own and talk there family up which is plane as day to see its all scripted and nothing whats so ever to do with trucking. Glad you keep it real.
Thanks for tuning in!
blue 💙 one
The black and gray red stripes if you can repayments go for it
I would definitely take the W9 with the APU
That is nice.
But another thing to think about too is Parts available in case of an emergency? Where. You're not? Stuck for 2 weeks 3 weeks whatever of the case maybe another thing to consider..
The black one the best choice if the motor good but the blue one nice as well
Yes trade for the blue one if the other guy doesn't take it
Get that blue one that blew Kenwood that's nice truck it's got last-mile don't have to worry about so much right now
YES.😊

Thank you for watching!
Trade for the black KW, good truck.
Black KW and that’s a magnet phone holder
changed my mind i like the black one
Go for it. Trade in your truck for the black kw w900
Why didn't you buy the Black W900 with Apu? Was she 18 speed? Should have traded your truck for black W900. As you said so much more room and she prob would been more reliable :)

I would take the blue one
My favorite truck also there both bad ass
Go for it
48 years of trucking w900 draw the best as far as I'm concerned
Test drive at 1st. Asking me if you can drive it for a week
Also that thing you keep spinning… it’s a PHONE mount.
Only thing with the blk one is the mileage. If the monthly bill is not gonna squeeze much on ur finances do it🤙🤙🤙🤙only thing is that the turning radius is crappy🤙🤙🤙🤙
Maaan I HATE the turning radius. 😕
That's a kenworth..lol.

Like the black W 9
The black one is nice
With the way, the trucking industry is going. I wouldn't buy an ice cream cone right now.
Drive that 18 like a 13 speed screw splitting the lower gears
and they MIGHT give you $30k for yours!! But the W9's are gonna cost you a FORTUNE!!

Hell Yeah
You have very good videos but what I’ll say can make it better is less music while driving rather hear the engine
blue one has a nice color scheme.i dunno depends on specs
You have a used truck now, why trade for another? You know what you have and the KW's are unknown.
w900 all the way
Think the blue one is better less miles on it, what’s the year of the both of them ?
Then blue one is a 2023 and the black one is a 2019.
Shy I would go for the one with the less miles if that’s still available I would go with the blue one my friend 👍
👍 get it if u like it
So unfortunate you gotta take that beautiful truck 😂😂😂
How come your red lights on the back of the sleeper aren't working. The three up each side
I noticed that too. 🤔
Go for it and that knob is for hanging your phone with
Id take the one with less miles
That's a nice truck I am thinking about coming over to Landstar myself I have a choice between Landstar and f2f transportation
I like Landstar so far. 🙌🏾
The key is on but the engine is off. Of course the check engine light is on. The cabinet you want to take out has the table. You’re going to get rid of the table?
The check engine light stayed on the entire weekend.
Just back up against the king pen
yes
Keep doing what you're doing in the driver. Sate you won't have. A armrest. On the right side what kind of motor horsepower torque rear ends
I haven’t gotten all of the specs yet. But I know for sure it has a Cummins X15
black kw is no joke either
hey bud it is your choice you are the one that has to make a living driving it
yes trade it
You have new truck fever, lol.
Black KW. What is life without risk.
Need your Owen trailer
Yeah trade it in get the W9
I meant the blue one go for it
Black one go for it
how many miles does your truck have that's a lot of miles
I have 765k on my dash.
It will take a getting to
I like the black one but it's really up to you. Maybe if he was able to drive Each of them for a week and see how you like it. But I prefer the black one and I'm like you. It's got an APU save you on your fuel.
Oh by the way the radio above the screen that works the navigation screen or At least the radio part of it
Hey can I get the guys info with the trucks I’m at landstar too and need a truck asap
Sure! Email me! HaulingMadeSimpleHTX@gmail.com
Question how long you been driving, and no disrespect
I’ve been driving for about 3 years
I put my gladhands on the cat walk in the back of the truck and use a bungee cord
lol, last thing you want to do is buy a truck with 550K miles....unless you budget an engine rebuild.
Any specific reason for trading in? I love the look of international. Especially if it's paid for
It’s not paid for yet. But hopefully it will be by the end of the year.
@LoneStar Texas Ranger good luck with what ever u do driver. I have 05 international 9400. Good old cat power. Back on road next week hopefully
Yes yes yes yes trade yes trade
Keep your truck.
Make that the black one
both
Don’t tempt me 😂
that is a touch sceen
bay the last won
The blue one have laser miles
