#Trucking #Freightliner #LoShawnParks
the company I'm with is a all automatic fleet, i love it one less thing to worry about plus better fuel milage and less ware and tear on the transmission.
absolutely
Do these break down often? Getting my license soon and thinking of buying one but all I hear is bad electrical problems and more breakdowns? Say if a truck has 300k miles?
I will get my CDL if they train me in a automatic Truck
I seen two videos where old truckers were bad mouthing automatics until they drove one and then they liked the autos. Even drivers doing heavy haul are going to the autos.
kingmike40 I hauled heavy loads with a automatic into NYC daily. I looooved it.

Manual transmissions are to truckers what muscle cars are to old men. They're nothing but outdated small penis compensators. "Slamming gears" doesn't make you look macho, these days it makes you look like a fucking tool.
kingmike40 Love the autos the truck that I leasing on u.s xpress is an autoshift frieightliner
RC Freaks do autos have a lot of problems? Say delivering heavy loads from construction sites?
those air brake knobs are badass
appreciate it
Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷 ... Congratulations for the explanation about the Cascadia 2017 Automated gearbox, in Brazil nobody likes them in the begining too, but now 3 years late, everybody wants to work with the automatics...Congratulations for the channel, got a new subscriber ✌🏼️
Glad to have another driver in favor of auto transmissions. I have been driving autos for over a year now and I love them especially when I am driving in LA. One piece of advice for you to help with the shaking during acceleration. Most auto's are programmed to accelerate from a stop at only about 20 - 25% throttle. If you give it more then that it will cause the transmission to shift at a much higher RPM and cause hard shifting aka "shaking." It should be shifting around 1300 RPM's for the most part. Once you get into your last few gears is when you want to "get into" the throttle. Hope this helps you out and keep the video's coming.
I feel u about the automatic transmission... when I was driving local I love that transmission.. especially driving in NYC traffic..
I liked when I drove an automatic. a big con for me was the lag time between the time you press the gas and when the truck actually starts to accelerate.
T Finesse agree
I've been a a 15 and 16 freightliner cascadia, the shaking at a toll Booth shouldn't happen, neither truck I was in did that, the rest of the issues are pretty standard with them. thanks for the vids, very informative. I'll be leasing with prime next month on flatbed, little nervous because I have never done flatbed before but said they'll teach me, so I'm excited more than anything, your videos have helped a lot, maybe I'll see you around.
That's a hot truck man, that truck is slammin!!!! I'm definitely going to Prime in the future, and I'm already set and have my class A license. Thanks so much brother, your a great dude man.I love watching all your videos.And your a great expiration to people like my self who wants to come to Prime and look into the lease purchase. May the Good Lord continue to bless you with many more blessings in your future. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing LoShawn, I always enjoy having some popcorn and watching your videos on RUclips , your a great positive brother. And I think that automatic Frieghtliner is SLAMMIN!!!!!!.When I come to PRIME, I'm definitely am going to lease one of those bad boys.
Loshawn parks thanks brother and this video made my decision to get me an automatic in the heavy hauling I knw its not perfect but I’ve full trust in ur comments cuz they are straight from ur heart
Loshawn seem to well spoken ,and smart to be driving . great channel . very smart about explaining things.I have 1st gen automatic trans ,1983 m-923 am general 5 ton military truck has a 5 speed monster allison transmission slows truck immediately ! keep making videos .
you're a very intelligent driver !
Bad ass tractor and trailer parking brake handles
I have a 17 T680 auto and I love it. The onguard sometimes can be a pain with the hard braking sometimes but it's very helpful. I love puttin the truck in drive and go. Great video
Hey great video bro so let me ask you. How did that truck hold up? How many miles before rebuild and how well did that automatic transmission hold up? Last question was you running flat or would you run in mountains? Thank you sir.
This 2017 Frieghtliner looks really nice !
Great video man, keep them coming, nothing but motivation whenever you post!
Appreciate it
Beautiful tractor!! Congrats!!
Excellent review of the automatic. Very informative. This fully automatic tractor is miles above my old semi-auto freightliner century!
I have the same automatic, 2017 and I love. You really can rest.
is very good.
you be killing them with the intros man
Appreciate it. I try to keep it dope
shoutout to the big homie Lo...lets get it!
Thanks so much you have helped me I'm getting ready to find a school away from where I live
had a 2015 auto.. now going into a 17.. LOVE IT... Like the Volvo 780 a bit better but im w KLLM & they arent leasing Volvos anymore.. great video brother... keep em coming.
thank you john
No, thank u.. I have to say that you are the most informative, well spoken RUclipsr in the game.... Much props.
+John Spano salute. appreciate that bro. that's hugh compliment
I'm a beginning trucker and I appreciate your videos. Can you tell me how reliable are the automatics?
I Never Thought I Would Like An Automatic, Now That I Have Driven Over The Road In A Freightliner Cascadia 2017 Automatic !!!! I Would Never Want To Go Back To A Manual !!!!
Do they have electrical problems often? Or breakdown often? Thinking of getting 2015 cascades with 300k on kt
As always great video! Me i been driving manual for 15 yrs and when ever i drive an automatic i hate it the start it to slow ! Hey loshawn what type of camera you use? It seeing to follow your head movement real cool! 👍🏻👍🏻
Lmao. That's the camera in my phone. I don't even know how I did it. It's the note 5 front camera
Nice review. I'm also with prime....turning in this POS KW T680 for an auto freightliner. Super stoked to be in a freightliner again...tried to love paccar but couldn't .Can't make $$$$ sitting in a shop an average of 5 plus days,
Flynnkillen that's why you get a glider lol
Yassssss for the intro!!!
Good video, making some good points.
The only con I have with an automatic, is while bumping a dock. The vehicle speed needed to keep the torque converter spooled up and the transmission in gear tends to be too high. In my situation, I need to keep my foot on the brake as well as the throttle to keep from going into a neutral/idle situation. If it were a lockup type converter, keeping the transmission engaged while in reverse, it would make it easier to gently touch the dock, instead of, like one of my drivers did, and slam the trailer.
Just an observation from someone that started out with a set of sticks, no power steering and roll down AC.
Carry on driver...
John Anderson I don't think it's a torque converter, it's a true actuated clutch
John Anderson exactly that’s the same thing I hate
Mr. Loshawn, Thank you for showing or should I say explaining how those automatics work. I've been studying to get my CDL permit. And I've been leaning heavily on the choice of going with Prime for my training. Thank's for sharing :-)!
Awesome video going to be going to school , have been checking out several companies and so far looking at Prime and Jim Palmer trucking thanks for all the info
I luv the automatic! it's less pain in your leg when in stop and go traffic.
Exactly
Just a heads up hauling heavy is impossible in an automatic. So if next level is going heavy get a 13 to 18 speed.
it is good to know proper braking on a mountain cause the jake brake can fail. my jake brake failed on me but I was able to keep driving and I delivered my load in North Carolina, picked up a load and delivered in West Virginia. I deadheaded to Columbus Ohio to get it fixed. I didn't even come close to burning out my brakes. I did the slow down 10mph speed up 10mph braking for cool down and I could have kept driving like that. I figured I would get it fixed though. I didn't want to chance it. plus my cruise control went out with the jake brake. if I didn't get that training, I could have been in trouble and my load would have been late cause I would have probably been at a shop or worse. just thought I would share that cause that could happen to anyone and if your a trainer, that would be a great skill to teach a student. I wouldn't recommend anyone to drive without a jake brake like I did but it wasn't like I was on the big mountains out west and I stopped at almost every couple hills, on a exit or rest area just to make sure my brakes were ok. they never smelled or smoked but if they did, I would have stopped driving. I had lite loads as well.
My 1st experience with an automatic semi was an 03' Volvo. was not a fan. It would take 10 years to change my mind. A 2013 Prostar tipped the scale after I had given up on internationals. That was the standard and the Cascadia and big boy Volvo's have both impressed me. A Con would the learning curve of bumping the dock , "kissing the dock" and not smacking it.
good review. I'm a big fan of the on guard system too. truck safe !
I do not have any problems using eco coast. I think you are willing to learn. So contact an instructor how to use it right.
You said many things right, for example using cc driving downhill. But if you realize the jake doesn't keep the speed adjust the cc mph 5 miles lower. It will downshift by itself. There is always the possibility to help manual.
Btw I like your explanation.
good video I love the automatic Truck
Changing gears is old.im glad there Automatic tractors
Hi. Like the vid. Forgive the spelling. I'm Canadian, It's metric. Love the knuckles on the brake valves. The Onguard system is VIR technology and it works similar to your TV remote. The problem is it can apply brakes in heavy traffic at high speed. You've been there. You're in the city, if you leave space infront for safety a four wheeler takes that space, well the limiter will kick in and slow you down. This can keep on happening. Just shut the dam thing off, or pull the fuse. I'm a truck tech and we all would love to have a "slap an engineer day" where we get to slap one and say, What were you thinking! International guys would have rosy cheeks, I'm tellin you. I agree. If the tranny isn't engaged when cresting a hill the driver is not in control of the vehicle. As the truck picks up speed (speed = energy witch is converted to heat energy in the brakes) the truck must be in the correct gear at all times. For the toll booths. The biggest fault in AMS (Automated Transmission v/s Automatic Transmissions). is the very low gear selection. Mack and Detroit have some promising advancements in this area. They have added extra super low gears. Good for vocational apps.
Hey man thanks for the video. Thinking of buying auto semi truck to deliver to constructions sites, rocks, sand etc. are these reliable if they have 300k on them? Most threads I read is that they have a lot of problems electronically or it would do bad in snow downhill. Can you offer your advice? Thanks
American trucks are like stepping back in time 20 years
how do you like that TFV8 i have one & love it
Is this a automatic or automated truck? Trying to learn the difference from the 2
I really like those airbrake knuckles
appreciate it ronald
Good video bro .. Keep them coming
what kind of fuel mileage are you getting with it? Really enjoy your videos
not much difference from the 2016..cool brake knobs tho..love automatics! anything different wit the sleeper?
Coming back to Prime. Are all their trucks automatic now???
i got one and loving it.
exactly Erick
subbed as soon as I heard that kanye.
how are you liking that TF-V8 tank? also I go to kllm in august 15
What guys think about 400 horsesPower on a 2017 Freightliner Cascadia
Need some review guys
how did you customize your freightliner to look like a Caroline panther truck pretty cool looking
I drive 2016 Freighterliner I love it
pls tell me that it holds the cruise control speed gonig downhill cuz 2014 didnt
Nope 2016 don't do that
There is a clutch. It just don't have a clutch pedal. It's air actuated so if you don't have enough air in the system, the truck will not go into gear
Thanks for the infos, dear friend clear enough!
Good stuff my man. I just started driving a new 2018 cascadia automatic. thanks for the info about how to properly safely go down a grade that was a question in my mind after driving a 13 speed manual. thanks peace
Hey Nice truck! What is the wheel base and rear end ratio? Thanks!
good review man. very informative.
thank you fred
Thanks for the posting *[subscribed]*
great video I drive automatic
Appreciate it
Could you make a video showing the feature that causes those trucks to enter the left lane in front of Real Trucks where the speed limit is 75 MPH? Also please show how to disable this feature.
Lol
😂
Great info.
What was you recording with when the cam was facing you? seemed like the camera followed your facial movements.
good video very informative.
I'm just wondering how winter driving will go with those trucks because cruise control and no clutch is bad for snowy situations...I would like to see videos on that in the upcoming winter thanks for the vids
manual mode goes into play
what's the name of the joint you put on at the begening of the vid? That's just dope!
kanye west - stretch my hands
TX dude
What about coupling?? Is it smooth or is it hard?? I had a KW T680 n HATED coupling because i had to use the fuel pedal to go backwards n there was no way to do it gently.
Stupid question. Have you figured out how to set the clock on the dashboard? Still can't believe I can't get it set
I figure it out Chris I haven't even attempted to, but I looked at it the other day and said I need to fix it. I'll let you know once I found out
Ayee, I was surprised to hear my fave Kanye song
I wanted to go with Prime and i want a automatic,...however when i talked recently to a few people they said there are still a ton of manual trucks and most trainers were manual still. Hate to say it, but that kinda made me back off. I still have not went anywhere, i'm a newbie.
Well you should learn on a manual. I tell all new people to trucking to do that. Don't get your CDL on a automatic. You will only be hurting yourself
Trucking With LoShawn Parks how are people hurting themselves if they test out in a automatic? Because I was wanting to because I’m not comfortable with Manual trucks
if your buying your truck can prime still deactivate that shifter knob for the performance options?
No. Not til it's paid off or you take the truck away from prime.
Truck look good Lo
appreciate it
Hey brother you can use the stick without using the clutch even in traffic
I’m thinking about coming back to primes flatbed division. Do they still have standard transmissions out there?
Hi LoShawn, My name is Joe Pitroliere..n I just discovered you on Primes Site...all I can say is your awesome ..like you I've driven both types of transmissions..I'm 54 -n- thinking of going back into trucking..its between Prime -n- KLLM..( wich I've already been cleared for a Refresher coarse..I'd like to run Western fleet or states -n- thought of the lease Purchase..can you give me some insight on what you think? Does Prime offer anything like that...? Thank you for the great vids n info.
I drove for KLLM. FFE has better opportunity with runs. getting between 2900-3200 miles/wk
Nice!
here's one,13speed 3:23 rears gets 6.5 to 7.2 depending on weight,stays serviced properly so i do not need auto shift or any other xtra elec devices
up here in Canada, if you get trained on automatic semi trucks our CDL will get restricted to driving automatics only, it would be harder to find a job by then, so we get trained Bobtailing first then having the 53' once we know how to shift the 18 speeds or 13 speeds, automatic looks nice to drive fleet companies like Bison Transport uses that truck DT12 transmission to their fleets for much safety as well as those Volvo Ishifts
ryan meana Sorry but your wrong. In Canada and this is were I live and just recently passed my class 1 I was told by the school I could take my test in either manual or auto and there is no restriction on your licence at least that's how it is here in Alberta. Anyways I chose to be trained on stick so then I have both options open to me.
oh i see, you live in Alberta, here in Saskatchewan if we took our Class 1 roadtest to automatic we'll be restricted to automatic trucks onlyy..
You can come down a grade with rpm greater than 2000 on a manual cascadia and it will not hurt the engine.
I can see why people like auto. I drove a freightliner with the dt 12 auto for 27,000 miles. Only thing I didn't like was how it skipped gears up shifting. 3 to 6 to 8 to 10 to 11 etc. I must admit the Jake is serious on those things. But I still found myself taking it back for a straight 10. I just like more control of what's going on. Driving through the snow and ice in pa it was up shifting and down shifting when I didn't want it too and it bothered me. enough to turn them back in.
panthers baby!
been driving an auto evo for a little over a year bro, the cons that you speak of you'll learn how to minimize those in time, as for the ecoast...yes it takes same time getting used to because it defies all logic your taught in a manual but rest assured that it doing what its designed to do
Cool deal
Could you please elaborate more about E coast?
Everyone is afraid of changes nowadays but it's happening regardless, for those who or BIG 😠MAD😠OH!! Well.. the trucking manufacturer is going to mass produced the new technology coming out to where you won't have a choice, me myself I believe this gives the driver more flexibility in being a safer driver and also keeping you health and less stressful clutching all the time especially in city traffic and freeway's I'm all for it... What I'm not for is all these self driving trucks driving up and down Texas highways now with the driver along for the ride until he or she is need... 1-45 N&S bound I-10 east-&-west bound which is already operational currently.. that's scary letting the truck do the work might make the driver to relax and fall asleep when he is needed going thru construction zones or sudden accidents...
What's up man, I just got prehired with prime will be at orientation at the end of the month! Any good trainers u know if I could possibly request?
Is your truck governed at 65 now if so how long did prime turn their truck down ?
Yes it's at 65. Prime turned there trucks down in 2009
thanks for the vid's . really. I have a video request that I haven't seen youtubers do. and that's load responsibility . like spills , tip overs , theft . these types of thing. proper or improper loading that might be blamed on driver etc. I am not in the business yet but looking into it.....
How's the sound on this truck?
Damn good video bro
Thank you jay
Just so you know, they dont do anything to the engines with the automatics to allow them to rev higher rpms, all the DD engines will do it and it is recomended in the Detroit videos for maximun braking to rev up to 2100 and ok to rev as high as 2300 its in the Detroit videos. it works great I watched the videos when I first drove a DD13 in 2010 and never had to use my service brakes
what are the chances of me getting a automatic after my my TNT for prime next week
about 50/50.
How much of the Prime configuration on the truck are you going disable/remove when you leave your current company?
well prime takes all there stuff back. so like the on guard system they take, the tire pressure monitor, Qualcomm, Lane departure system. so I won't get any of that. it belongs to prime.
im at 28000+ miles bro almost done with tnt. i plan on going company for about 3 months then jumping into a lease do you think company drivers getting automatics?
yes eventually everyone at prime will have them. so it's a chance you get get one when your done.
+OnPoint Trucking Concepts With LoShawn Parks ok coo i dig those autos bro shifting is a great skill that ive learned but traffic is hell in them tho. Stay safe bro and my sure you check my vids out
+BlackLion816 fa sho blacklion. auto puts money back in your pocket. The macho man is going to tell you the are for wimps. just laugh at them and let them keep blowing the doors off your truck. while you blow the doors of his bank account. lmao
+OnPoint Trucking Concepts With LoShawn Parks #realtalk
I just got a 2017 automatic today
Where is your school located I’m trying to get mine
Have you had any instances in the rain where it catches the gear and out of coast and locks up the drives? I've had it happen in my Mack. Pretty scary
no can't say I have
How are you brother? I am new in trucking industry and looking to buy my first truck. can you recommend dealers where i can go and shop? Thanks.........
+S Punjabi best advice I can give you is pick up the truck paper at the truck stops. They are free and packed with a lot of info in them
my 2nd view :) sounds like about 80.00 min. $avings per week in Hipnational bank :)
looking forward to seeing your New ride soon!
I don't know Much about trucks but this system seems very inconvenient. Nice truck though
