I am a Peterbilt man and,mam you have an awesome looking Truck. Congratulations 🎊 on the new truck, I will sit back and watch your video, love your videos. Keep up the good work.
She's a beautiful rig. Nice lines. Thank you, Ms. for the work you and your fellow truckers do. Moving commerce across the USA. God bless your every traveled mile.
Hello, miss. I stumbled upon your channel through RUclips. I really want to become a truck driver in the United States, but besides the dream being big, I'm even more afraid of leaving my country and not being able to support myself in another reality. But I was happy to watch your video and see that you really aren't an actress to get likes, you know your equipment and you parade with grace and elegance. Congratulations.
OH MY GOD, that roar when you started it up! Such an immense privilege to drive one of these enormous trucks. American icons! Nice careful driving too.
Youre a very safe driver. Attentive, but calm and cool. Eyes scanning. Actually watching what youre doing, and what the truck is doing. Just be careful. Never assume all is well. Disasters take seconds. God bless you.
Thank you very much! You are right, a disaster can happen at any time, in the blink of an eye. I am always very attentive to all my surroundings and all other drivers (because they can’t drive 😆). God Bless you too!
@@LafondaJackson436 Well. Teddy will let out a nice erf if anyone messes around that truck at night. When they here that big bark, they will be leaving!! Rapidly!! Hee haw!!
Nice Looking new truck👍 You seem to adapt to it really well and your a total pro running through those gears so smooth🥰 Hope you grow to like your new Lafonda and Hapoy Trucking🌹🚛🚛🚛🚛
Wow congrats. 🎉 Nice looking rig. I hope the new Lafonda treats you well. Looking forward to many more adventures with you and Teddy. May God bless over you every mile.🙏❤️
Was just looking at the road signs. Looks like you are near where I grew up. I was raised in West Chester left along time ago. Was just back there before Christmas and took route 1 all the way to Baltimore just for the drive. Good luck with the new Pete.
I live in Australia and I have to say it is absolutely amazing to sit here and watch you use the gears. Manual vehicles of any type seem rare here and so many rigs are auto plus the driving is questionable. One thing I really miss is the incredible genuine Mack’s and hearing them coming down the road. As a Scottish quote says ‘long may your chimney smoke’. Great video.🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
@ I just had the biggest smile knowing your mum had a Mack. Back in the day manual transmissions were everywhere and now they are testing driverless trucks. I have subscribed to your channel which has a great feel to it. Safe travels.🙏🙏
@@steven_scattergoodthank you so much! And I know they are testing driverless trucks here too (and I don’t like that idea at all)…thanks for subscribing and supporting my channel 😊
Hi Lafonda, This is my first time visit and I'm going to be a new sub, leave a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. There's more than one reason for subbing with one of them being I love the fact a woman is proving she can do just as good as any man, if not better. I love the 589 Pete and all it can do at the right hands. I'll shut up for now and watch your video, and wish I was your co-driver.
Never been in a 589, but I loved the 579 I had back in 2015. Loved how big the cab and sleeper were. Just about need a mop and bucket to clean the windshield though.
Peterbilt's are expensive to maintain with diesel prices and they are expensive. I run a 2015 Frightliner Cascadia and the company isn't giving me enough runs.
@AntoshGill it isn't the truck as much as it's the silly Aftertreatment system. PACCAR seems to be having more issues making them reliable than any of the other truck manufacturers.
I drove heavy haul and Air products for 10 years,the last seven years of driving was the heavy hauling... I am 83 years old and I still miss those days
Guaaaaauuuuu!!! Se ve lo facil que te desempeñas al volante, como me gustaría intentar alguna vez ver como se siente conducir un camion de esos ,ya que solo conduzco auto pequeño, gracias por tu vídeo saludos de Colombia 🇨🇴
Every new truck you get into most everyone says they don't like but talk to them a few weeks or months later they have changed their tune, especially when you change from a Coronado to a Pete. You'll be fine. Over here in Aus many of the trucking companies are changing from Kenworth to European trucks like Volvo or Scania.
@@brc2100 So far there’s things that I don’t like compared to my Coronado but then I am already noticing things that I do like better. I know I’ll get used to it (but my dog doesn’t like it yet either 😏). Thanks for your comment 😊

Dear Lafonda ! Now the big day is here " Lafonda" is standing in front of you shining and glittering . I wish you and Teddy always a Safe and accident free ride 🙏 May God always protect you in your hard Job . L G from Germany
How exciting!!! I know you’ve been half dreading, and half waiting for today. Like any other vehicle, it will take a little time to get used to everything. Give the new girl a chance…she does look like a sweet ride! I can’t wait to see what Teddy thinks? Or, maybe it will just be …wherever you go..he’s gonna follow♥♥♥ God Bless you and keep you safe in the new Lafonda!
They made those trucks for better visibility for the older and newer drivers. I prefer the 389 old school 😎😎💯💪🏾iykyk they still are nice. The hood is for sure shorter.
@@LafondaJackson436 I am feeling that 589 flattop 72inch sleeper🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️😒🤣 may have to get that badboy one day🤷🏾♂️but you have a beautiful truck congratulation. Wishing you great and long successful miles to come🫶🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾💪🏾😤 #keeptrucking🚚🚛
No you don't have to use the clutch once you start moving, you flote the gears whenever you shift, takes some time getting use to doing it,but it saves the clutch alot, 😮😮
7:58 I so know that feeling! My company switched my primary rig and all I could think was "How the Hell am I supposed to get used to this now?!" I hope this truck grows on you though!
Congrats on the lovely old school truck. I can fully understand why your company might go for something like this. Very surprised at the noise in the cab though. Admittedly, I am used to European cabover trucks that have three or four levels of air ride and so are nearly silent inside. I don't think I have driven an Eaton manual with the splitter for 25 years, since auto-shift manuals started to take over, so it brings back memories. 😊 I hope you and the truck have a long and successful future together. 👍 I will be watching for your future videos.
Can’t help thinking of the line: “I ain’t no dang Mac, I’m a Peterbuilt!” Cars.. movie.. great channel!

This is the 389's replacement. It has a much bigger cab. Not sure but maybe a wider hood.

Hi Lafonda,
This is my first time visit and I'm going to be a new sub, leave a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. There's more than one reason for subbing with one of them being I love the fact a woman is proving she can do just as good as any man, if not better. I love the 589 Pete and all it can do at the right hands. I'll shut up for now and watch your video, and wish I was your co-driver.

You're welcome, it came from my heart, dear Lady. Be safe.
I just got the paperwork for my LLC now im working on financing for my first truck. Congratulations on ykur upgrade!
That is awesome! Good luck with your trucking journey! 😄
Congrats, sweet ride. Would love to have a narrative about the areas you are passing through, types of freight you carry and companies you work with.
That's a great idea, I'll definitely try to do that in a future video!
Enjoy your new truck- It looks alot more spacious then your previous rig, Lavonda. Be safe :D
It does look more spacious but I don’t really think it is…seems I had more space and more storage in my other Lafonda 🧐
Awesome shifting...Safe travels...Blessings to you.
Blessings to you as well 😊
Never been in a 589, but I loved the 579 I had back in 2015.
