Great job, great truck, great company. It’s so Interesting to watch these videos after being with them for a year. They really are humble but the reality is, the fact that they supply us with a truck like this out the gate and have such a great support system in place is really a blessing. I talk to a lot of guys out here and sometimes see new drivers using not so new trucks and they are SHOCKED when I tell them how prime takes care of their drivers. This industry is give and take and though their has been some temptation to have a hardened heart at times, it’s easy to not take out any small issues on these guys. They really have given us a fighting chance to begin this career. Just wanted to give my anonymous gratitude prime. Thank you guys. Obviously don’t waste your time looking for “Clark Kent” as I’m sure he’s still at the daily planet in Kansas but the picture is really me. My hair is just a lot bigger now haha guess I’ll add that side note as well, what a blessing to have a career that I can allow me hair to be in it’s natural state, an Afro.
We love to hear that! We are proud to have you as part of the Prime family.
Thanks for keeping us updated @primeinc
Thanks for watching our truck tour!
Glad to see that prime is finally prioritizing saftey over bottom dollar with the LED lights standard
Safety is always our number one priority! Thanks for watching our video.
LED lights may work ok in the south but here in Canadian winters, with the lights giving off no heat, they freeze up quickly and therefore they are useless and even dangerous
Thanks for posting your truck tour!!
Thank you for watching our truck tour!
Beautiful truck can’t wait to to join the prime family 😍😍
We love to hear that! When you're ready, you can fill out an application at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube or give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121 for more information.
Nice! Wish you guys the best.
Thanks! You too!
Love the Freightliners they are like Honda’s in the sense that they run forever with low maintenance
Thanks for the feedback!
LED lights are now standard…awesome!!!
Yes! We're excited about this change too. Thanks for watching our video!
Yes it’s about time
How much does it cost to change them out
@@joshuasmith9029 They're a warranty item.
thats because they are so cheap to manifacture)
Sweet ride. Enjoyed my time with Prime. Pulled Food Grade Tanker with a International.
Thanks for checking out our Freightliner tour video.
what type of vehicle batteries does it come with? Are they for cranking OR deep cycle?
Unmentioned feature: the LED ring light in the sleeper roof has adjustable brightness if you hold the button.
Thanks I didn’t know this.
That's great! Thanks for sharing this hidden gem, Ellie.
never knew that thanks
This is news to me. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for this I didn’t know that, any other hidden features?
nice truck thanks for the video and ℹ information
Thanks for watching our truck tour, Jacob!
Y'all got some nice trucks, I enjoyed my time training with Prime, and definitely enjoyed the experience
Thank you for the comment and for choosing to partner with us for your training and start in trucking! Are you still truck driving?
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING I'm working on it, I had an unfortunate loss in my family during my training and had to stop my training to return home.
@@himeskids oh no. Sorry to hear that. Maybe we can work again together in the future. We’ll be here ❤️
Prime sure have some top notch equipment
Thanks for noticing
It’s so nice!
don't get the lane alert it will go off 100s of times a day false alarm just cracks in the pavement or, a sealed cracks. its stunning how annoying that those can be
Beautiful truck!
We think so too! Thanks for watching our video.
Incredible roller muffler bearings Inside with whatcha majigs on the air intake excellent power what’s amazing is the arrow dynamic cow catcher bumper smooth and elegant with top notch mirrors heated and adjustable; SWEET
Thanks for watching our video!
Prime Inc, Home of the Lease to Bankruptcy Program!
We have many operators who have successfully completed our Lease Purchase program this year! You might not be able to fulfill this commitment, but we have many drivers who can and have.
Is Prime putting any work into fighting AB5?
These comments are so funny, all the people who weren't successful leasing spent half their time at home
Lol 😂
Maybe it's just you?
I love the money green paint job
Great color for sure!
I wish the Cascadia’s had the option to haha upper storage compartments instead of a double bunk. The 579 Pete’s upper bunk can fold in half an act as a large shelf. Mack Anthem’s have 3 storage compartments instead of an upper bunk.
Having said that, the Cascadia’s are dope trucks with a comfortable sleeper.
Thanks for watching our truck tour!
The Colors is 🔥🔥🔥
I know, right?!
It’s a beauty!!
We agree!
Классный трактор!))
Шучу, трак обалденный!😉👍🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for tuning in!
What prevents the headlight assemblies from snow and ice accumulation with LED lights? Sounds like a safety issue to me in snow prone areas.
Mine arent LED yet I have to pull over to clear them every hour or so. Might as well have the LEDs.
All of the lights are now standard as LED or just the headlights?
And why can't we go ahead and make the jump to standard disc brakes like all the trailers have?
The remainder of the 2022 model year trucks have LED headlights. It has not been decided if we will continue that for the next model year.
Cost vs. Benefit just hasn’t been justified to put disc brakes all the way around all tractors. It is an option that we allow drivers to pay for up front and order if they want them. We are currently working on our new truck deal and this is one of our items that we are looking at closely. Thanks for the questions!
Nice to see this. Giving it some thought, about coming to Prime . To do the Cdl training program 🤔. I see you all have nice large cars :)
Don’t do it. Go to a local trucking school or work with a smaller company. Prime has pulled a lot of shenanigans.
We would love to have you join the Prime family! Let us know if you have any questions along the way.
Hi Eric. We hate to hear that you feel this way. Feel free to reach out to us at communications@primeinc.com with additional feedback on how we can improve the CDL training program.
Will do. Have a Happy New Year
Prime is big on making a whole lotta money off you. Literally highway robbery
Nice truck! How come the OmniTrak has a cable wrapping around the dash? Could it be snaked around inside the dash and pop out just below the unit?
That would be something to discuss with our Detail Shop! They are able to install almost all add-ons for our operators.
Very good upgrades to the standard specifications over the past 2-3 years. Also Their is (3) three specifications you should consider adding standard that is a sun visor / 110 plugs Outlets 5 to be exact (1) one for the microwave (1) one for the refrigerator an at least another (3) three for phone, computer, printer ,gaming systems etc. A higher inverter about 2000-2500 wattage.
I know that I said (3) three am adding (1) one more locking step box. Peace and prosperity!!!!!
Thank you for watching our truck tour, Ronald!
Is it easy to get a truck going company or lease? And how long does it take to be on the look for truck list cause I just know I’m at the bottom when I called lease
As a lease operator, you have the option to choose your truck. As a company driver, you'll be assigned a truck on a first-come, first-serve basis. Be sure to communicate with your fleet manager for updates on the upgrade process!
Will I be able to buy/addon the new digital dash and radio system if I lease purchase? If so how much extra?
Yes! The full digital dash is a $1,000 upgrade. For specifics on the upgraded radio system, give Success Leasing a call at 800-491-1240.
Lots of new features but everything is the exact same as my 20 aside from the wind deflectors by mirrors, standard led headlights and a much larger detroit assurance camera. Looks great though. Might order one or buy out my 20 at eol. Not too sure yet
It is very similar to the 2020! The reps said the biggest difference is going to be in the engine and tech with the Detroit Assurance Gen 5.
Those trucks are very cool looking
We think so too! Thanks for watching our truck tour, Scott.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Your welcome
What is the size of the sleeper? What kind of mpg are you experiencing? What would be the cost, approximately of a Cascadia with this spec? Thanks for your response.
Theyre about $165k
Can an onboard built in GPS be ordered factory from freightliner?
Hi Michael! You'll need to discuss this option with Freightliner. If you are a current Prime driver, you can reach out to Jeff Waara, our Freightliner Rep.
Nice color
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Very nicely spec'd truck. I'm kind of surprised that Prime hasn't moved away from noisy, and often high-maintenance APU's and switched over to Freightliner's EPU system with 1800-watt factory sine-wave inverter combined with an Espar bunk heater. I've had both set-ups and think the EPU and Bunk heater set-up is far nicer and much more reliable. It would also be nice if they spec'd the Freightliner factory TV mount arm instead of an outdated thermos holder. While we're at it, the curb-side emergency exit door would be a great addition as well. And Omnitracs? Seriously? I would think that a company as driver-focused as Prime would have far better technology than that piece of garbage, severely outdated, driver-hated system. Hopefully, for all of the prime drivers, they'll replace that dinosaur soon! Overall, though, I think they're very nicely spec'd trucks and Prime keeps their fleet newer and very well maintained, so big kudos to them for that. Their fleet trucks are far nicer than a lot of other mega carriers, for sure.
the blindspot sensor makes a sonically piercing noise. it goes off for people on the sidewalk, guardrail 3 lanes over, or your own trailer. it's absolutely worthless
so many false positive you will never believe it.
My biggest issue with Freightliner's blindspot sensor is that I can't signal a (right) lane change early without setting it off. This makes getting onto freeways from those left-hand entrance ramps miserable. I still like having it though.
@@OriginalPhil agreed the tone volume and intensity is liken to sonic warfare. I make all my right turns or lane changes without a blinker.
@@saintpatrick6681 I'm pretty sure you should be signaling for everything you do
I like the color
Awesome! Silver Green Frost is the color name.
The worst thing on this truck is the super singles next to DEF
You can have duals put on outside of success
You do not have to have super singles.
That’s a good looking vehicle
Pretty nice!
Perfect truck for live in.
Thanks for your feedback, Andrew!
Can we get freightliners WITH BETTER VENT OPTIONS FOR BUNK AREA PLEASE !!!! ESPECIALLY TOP BUNK ?????
Collision avoiding system is great! It 👀 things you don't and slams on the brakes and saves you, but don't worry about your freight, that's what the claim department is there for.
Safety is always our number one priority! Thanks for watching our truck tour.
It sees the shadow of a bridge and slams on the brakes. 😆
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING really? That’s not your reputation.
Lol 😂 safety propaganda. Sounds like something a brainwashed insurance bean counter would say.
Yeah safe ... My truck has slammed on the breaks because it saw a shadow... Or a car on an overpass. Not exactly safe
Those aero wings unfortunately keep water on the side window when using the washer or when it's raining from being blown off the window and it pools right at eye level on both sides. I have to roll the windows down to get the water off of them. Also, it blocks windshield cleaning because the handle of the squeegie hits those wings. I wish I could remove them.
Its way worse with out the after though bandaid fix wings
Yes he good job
Very nice truck
Thanks for watching our truck tour!
Disk brakes on the tractor's? Satellite radio, inverters for power, miles to empty on fuel gage?
Cost vs benefit hasn't been justified to put disc brakes all the way around on all tractors. This is an option that our drivers can pay upfront. We are currently working on our new truck deal and this is one of the items we are looking at closely. This truck has a 1500 watt inverter, but can be upgraded to an 1800 watt (the largest we allow at this time). There are several upgrade possibilities available for the 2022 Freightliner Cascadia!
I have all around disc brakes on 18 freightliner, they work great.
Es la primera vez que veo los ejes de tracción con ese tipo de llantas, es un solo rin? O como está conformado? Espero respuesta ya que ignoro lo que sucede ahí
si ,una llanta con un rin, no te las recomiendo , son bien caras y si se te poncha una te quedas parado,
Except for LED headlights it’s just like a 2020.
The front camera is also bigger
Thanks for watching our truck tour video! If you'd like more information on the differences between the 2020 and 2022 models, give Success Leasing a call at 800-491-1240.
It is 2020 the 2022 has a digital dash
Nice, If I drive solo I get a friegtliner but as a team driver I can't imagine sleeping in friegtliner while it is moving. In Pete you don't feel any vibration in sleeper berth.
True. Its tough. Freightliner went to Fred Flintstone for its suspension design.
Thanks for watching our truck tour and for your feedback!
Is there an airbag option on this truck?
I’m currently set up or orientation in a week and would I be able to finish TNT and go straight to a lease operator
And also are you only allowed to take prime loads? No loads outside of prime?
The amount of training would depend on your prior driving experience, if any. In order to go through our CDL program, you would be required to drive for Prime for one year.
Currently in school and most likely going to Prime after school. I am debating on doing the success lease program and getting the cascadia condo
Go for it! We would love to have you join the Prime family! Let us know when you are ready to get started. It's a great time to get in the trucking industry.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING graduation should be the 23rd.
@@GregBuda Perfect! The application is valid for 30 days, so you could get started with the application process now and be ready to dive into orientation after the holidays. Best of luck with your studies. Hope we hear from you soon!
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING who do I talk to about doing the success leasing
So you join Prime thats the truck you be assigned too or older trucks? Thanks!
All Prime trucks are 2019 or newer. As a company driver you would be assigned a truck. If you are an independent contractor you would have more options available to you.
Is this truck available with the DD-16?
All other truck ain’t got nothing on Cascadia, and by far the best AMT transmission out there, this truck drives like a fuking dream.
Glad you're happy with your Cascadia!
Que hermosura 😍
We agree! It's a good looking truck!
my next truck
Awesome! We think it's a pretty sweet ride.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING I am sure it will be about a year or so just starting to train
Best truck ever
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
A beautiful truck, it's bad that they don't deliver it to us in Russia, although there was a first-generation cascadia, and I drive the 2019 cascadia in the game American Truck Simulator from Czech developers)
Thanks for watching our video!
Will the new digital dashboard be an option if you order a truck?
Thanks for the question, Jon! Yes, this is an optional add-on for the new Freightliners. For more information, give Success Leasing a call at 800-491-1240.
$1345 yes
Can you disable the collision avoidance system so it doesn't slam on the brakes?
Great question for the Freightliner reps.
Pull the fuse for it.
I like the color of truck
It's definitely a sweet looking ride! Thanks for watching our truck tour.
Could we get a 72” low roof Cascadia tour some time?
Thanks for the request. We are currently working on Peterbilt and International truck tours, but we will add this to our list!
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Thank you!
I hope Freightliner has improved the Hood mirrors The 2020 shake loose in about 2 days and you have to readjust them.
The Prime shop will replace those if you take it in.
The seats tear easy.the thermos holder doesn't stay down after mopping your floor for a while
True, and you need baskets in the cabinets or they will pop open from something rolling around, so the latches are not really strong.
Thanks for your feedback, and for watching our truck tour video!
i love yovr vedio man
uerey great your vedio
i lovdm you
you are kind man
Thanks for watching!
Can someone tell where can I find 2022 for sale. There is none available
Do they have plans to stop the Constant whiplash from hitting a crack in the pavement?
D x d .z
Yes, front axle airbags
Flash back.....on dash...late 90s. .....yeah buddy
I'm wondering if prime offers the freightliner with the driver loft
Hello! You can check out the truck models we offer here, www.primeinc.com/success-leasing/equipment.
You can call it a thermos holder... I call it a tripping hazard. So goes the life of a trucker. I do appreciate HAVING the option though. Don't care for the "Noggin Buster" ladder either. HAVING the ladder is nice, but the placement of it is not ideal. The overall design of the truck is good though. The interior layout of the Freightliner is far more convenient then Peterbilt, particularly when it comes to storage. It says a lot when the 72 inch sleeper on the Cascadia has more usable space then the 80 inch sleeper on the 579. I would, however, take the ride of the Pete all day, every day though, especially when running team. That "Freightshaker" suspension just can't compete with smooth ride of Paccar trucks, particularly when you are in the bunk while the truck is moving. Wheelbase, ofc, does make a difference with that too...
All great information. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Boy that's the first thing I thought when I seen the thermostat holder
That thermos holder is the equivalent of anything you stub your little toe on at home.
You can take it out if you choose! Some drivers like to have this for convenience. Thanks for watching our video!
I have driven many Cascadias (2020-2022) and the experience has been unpleasant. They typically start out with somewhat tight steering when cold but after a few miles it gets looser and I was constantly adjusting. I had some with ultra sensitive brakes and accelerator and some just acceptable. I am currently driving a 2016 international and it drives like a dream compared to the Cascadias. I will someday buy a new truck for owner operator endeavors and Freightliner will not be considered.
What do you other truckers consider to be vary adequate to pleasant to own?
Thanks for checking out the truck tour video! We love the Internationals as well. Thanks for sharing your experience with different brand of trucks. All great info!
I want one with a Detroit 12.7 liter
hi mjy name casey shanedoss im professional driver and im coming onboard next few weeks soon as i get my dot pyshical is prime really good worth ethic and good work place to work for ?
Awesome! We look forward to having you as part of the Prime family, Casey.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING what type of truck u think i drive im most exprience in kw t680 and freightliner xl classic
Freightshaker for the win
Thanks for watching our truck tour, Derrick!
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING 👍
I have a 2022 Cascadia that I had ordered. I had to pay $450 for L.E.D headlamps bc it was considered a premium upgrade. But this guy saying that comes standard in the 2022 models. Anyway I can get reimbursed for that??
Hi Vincent! It looks like you ordered your truck before these LED lights came standard. Your lease payment does not have this upgrade factored in like those trucks ordered after LED lights became standard. For more information, give Success Leasing a call at 800-491-1240.
I wish I didn't get the LED lights on the headlight because they are not as good as the regular light bulbs because they are much dimmer and not as bright and they bounce a lot...I had both so I know the difference...plus they don't last as long
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the lights!
How much is the brand new ?
What about the scale on the fifth wheal yes it need one
Anyone else see the "radio controls" in the bunk? 😂😂 Didn't know the rear speaker mute counted as a full radio control. Would be nice to have the audio controls & automated locks in the rear of the FL like the Pete's & some internationals do though.
That's old
KW has lock controls in bunk. No radio controls though
@@RedWhiteAndBlue4evr1 Precisely, he said "radio controls".
So the new dpf system is to cut down on from previous standard Gen
Like the cost
Reading comments, how many of you have bought this truck 🚚? How much is the out the door price and how much is the down payment?
It looks the same as my 20’ model, no changes at all.
It is very similar. The reps said the biggest difference is going to be in the engine and tech with the Detroit Assurance Gen 5 (that’s hard to show off in a video).
Freightliner needs to get it together. Looks just like my 2018. 🤦🏽
Yep same small as bed just better headlights an a few changes but that’s it
As an Ace Lease can we order it without the thermos holder?
You can just remove that. I removed it on my FL back when I had one. It’s one of the dumbest features I’ve ever seen and will stub a toe more than once for sure.
@@DriverLineup but removing it leaves the screw hole and probably a permenant indention in the floor. (I havent decided on putting in carpet)
I call it the foot stumper or toe breaker.
@@dopeymomasboy we just put a rug over it
@@DriverLineup yea.
Let us know when you get some solo driver trucks with the storage up top instead of the second bunk

Hello! You can reach out to Success Leasing at 800-491-1240 for more specific information on the cost of leasing specific trucks. Thanks for watching our truck tour!
you can buy 2 from the dealership for what they charge
Do i need a heavy liscense to drive one of these?
You need your class A CDL to drive a tractor trailer in the United States.
What size is the inverter?
1500
The inverter in this truck is 1500 watt, but you can upgrade to an 1800 watt (which is the largest we currently allow).
What about weight? The same, heavier or lighter?
Thanks for the question. The weight is 17,130 lbs!
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Really? On a full size tractor? I work for a refrigerated carrier and our full-size trucks are 19 and change
Could these trucks be handicapped accessible?
Hi Brandie! Sorry for the delay on this response. According to our Freightliner rep, there are no factory line handicap accessible trucks. Sorry about that!
Is that a bigger watt inverter?
Thanks for the question, T.K.! This is a 1500 watt invertor installed on this truck. Drivers can pay to upgrade to an 1800 watt inverter but that is the largest we allow at this time.
Trying to see the difference in appearance for my 2020
