There's curtains you can buy for your windshield so you don't have to use sleep currain.Use that when truck is stopped and sleeper curtain when rolling.It also seems like more space in the truck when you have window curtain up.and sleeper curtain open.
REALLY GREAT TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN, IVE MISSED YOU, I MUST ADMIT IVE NEVER DRIVEN ONE OF THOSE ELECTRONIC TRUCKS, IVE OWNED SEVERAL PETERBILTS AND A W900, AND TO BE HONEST, I LOVED MY PETES. THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS, BUT THEY ARE A TRUCKERS TRUCK. BUT YOU MUST BUY WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN THAT TRUCK. PLEASE TAKE CARE, AND MAY ALL YOUR MILES BE SAFE ONES.
That was really sweet coming from a pete owner I appreciate the support. We are actually going to a Peterbuilt dealership soon to start scoping out our next truck and at this point they’re at the top of our list (ultra loft ;)
You don't have to stop to wipe yr drivers winds, this is what you do. Hit the autodown button then immediately with yr left hand grab the top of the window as it's going down and push or press outwards. That makes the window press against the bottom rubber wiper and cleans it.... not perfectly but it's pretty good enough not to keep stopping. Now the passenger window is too far I will figure something out and pass it on.
Yes, the mid curtains are a pain. Try moving seat all the way forward, then roll the curtain until all the way between cabinets. Once all the way rolled and tucked behind seats, push seats all the way back. Works well on passenger side, if you're a bit shorter as the driver and cannot sit all the way back, use a bungee at the bottom and wrap in around a couple of times before connecting hooks.
We drove a 2019 Cascadia and I absolutely LOVED the curtains because they are so thick, it blocks the sound. I do agree with them being difficult to open and slide behind seats. I got two small bungee cords and would clasp the cord around the curtain and push behind seat, it worked really well. Hope that helps!!!
Add more outlets to ac under sleeper. Evaporator is under bunk. The duct (hose) is cheap. Hours of service were a pain when I was driving. What do you use for hours of service? ELD. Trucking is unbelievable difficult being away from family, gone on the road. You guys have each other. How nice that is. Happy for you both! The part I miss about trucking is the machine itself. The truck. Gotta love it. My last year of driving. The new auto 12 speed came out. Wow that was a huge improvement over the 10 speed auto.
I really enjoyed reading your comment and your journey. Yes we use an ELD tablet with an app for logs. The truck becomes home and we definitely love her regardless 😊 some days I just purely enjoy just being in that driver seat mile after mile it’s a good feeling
Awesome video. It’s an eye opener. I respect and enjoy this industry. You all help this industry and I love that passion. You’re relationship seems solid and your plans and goals are motivating. Thanks for what you do. Keep them coming.
I have a electric APU in the truck it’s great practically silent and works great a lot of drivers complain it won’t keep you cool enough but it’s awesome!! 😌
Any wind wing diverter are for fuel efficiency. However there is a thing I call... window rain gutter deflector. It will not allow any rain or water on yr glass... that's all I know about it other than I had it on a few trucks I drove for a while and I got sooo spoiled by it... It black strip sticks out about 1.5 inch. Looking at your driver's window from outside it start at top left corner goes down the left side to down left corner a bit horizontal a few inches on bottom and totally across on top.. works perfect zero water on glass

Wake it up Boss, yes indeed your back, Natasha '. you were talking the 1 box, idling and the emission system was very interesting, that was very astute. Zoom had some very good points as well.

Love your videos. Keep it up. As far as the curtains go, you can fold them up and store in between the caninets. Fold them like 2 or 3 times. I have driven thousands of miles like that since I dont use those. I only use the curtains that wrap around the side windows and front windshield
I have a couple of questions, is Silver Trucking only for team drivers or do they take on Solos? How much is the trailer rental, if they provide it? I have a 2019 freightliner cascadia and its almost paid off. So looking to make a switch from my current carrier
Omg I love u!! I’m so happy I found u!! I’ve legit wondered why I haven’t seen any women like u on RUclips yet. I jus completed my 1st 30 days OTR 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 in a freight liner. Hope to c u on the road👋
@@natashatrucking we have the same fridge, yes it's nice but doesn't it rattle in the back alot.... I did muffle that sound alot. It's way quiet'r now.
Caught this vid by accident. Glad i did. Been turning wrenches for yrs now & HD towing. Seems since 2012 my work has really increased in electrical, electronic, programming, aftertreatment problems. The industry has truly changed & not enough quality or qualified people. Good luck with your ride.
The steering wheel tilt adjuster will get easier as it gets broken in the more you use it. I had the same problem. It's prob a cheaper assembly vs the foot. Which was better. Better isn't cheaper. I agree it's stupid
A if you follow the Asian mai show on RUclips he's a RUclipsr to he has a really good mechanic that can fix your problem but your probably under warranty, or your AC refrigerant is low if it freezes up just a suggestion
@@natashatrucking you said in your video that thing has 200,000 on it have you changed your cabin filter if you haven't don't worrie cause you can blow or bang all the dirt out of it or dust for a temporary fix until you get a new one
It's a control module issue I'm a retired truck mechanic and I bought a brand new 2018 new cascadia and it has a simular issue, it does what it wants when it wants. Also I don't have those window deflectors but the window and mirror still get ice and water build up. I put vent shades on and that pretty well stopped the window from drowning. Good luck with the truck and be safe. Also turtle wax ice on your mirror will make you clean the mirror once or twice a week instead of every stop in the winter, just make sure it's extra clean before you put it on the mirror
Here's what we did with the curtain, leave it velcroed in the middle and push the whole thing behind the passenger seat. Use a small bungee cord to keep it out of your way.
Interesting ... I drove a 2021 Cascadia when I was with Hirschbach and that exact same forward dome light would come on all on its own from time to time and nothing I did, including flipping the battery disconnect, would turn it off. It would come right back on when I would switch the disconnect back to the on position. I made a cover out of cardboard and duct tape to cover it when it would do it. It would just return to normal function randomly and be good for weeks again. Never did get it figured out.
The curtains in my truck (2020 international LT) are magnetic and pretty thick. Maybe that’s something you guys could replace? As for keeping them in place try folding them instead of stuffing them back there. That’s what works for me at least 🤷🏾♂️
Just an FYI, You need to let all wisely engines warm up and cool off. You have to idle the truck 10 minutes or so to warm the oil up before you start driving and idle the engine for 10 minutes before shutting it off. if not your rods and main bearings will be toast before their supposed to and your turbk bearings will sieze prematurely
Hey thx for the info, we’ve heard that before I’m gonna double check but it’s supposedly only for older trucks. They said the new trucks don’t. I’m gonna gather more info in that tho
@@natashatrucking Yeah check to be for sure I was a truck mechanic until the early 2000s things may have changed but I always idle them a bit just to make sure. Your oil enters the rods and lubricates you're engine from the top of the engine. So as it sets the oil runs down into your oil pan. When you fired up diesels you used to hear a knocking for the first few seconds that was because the internal parts had no oil. The pump had to pump the oil from the pan to the valve covers.
@@natashatrucking unless you're driving in the mountains and decide to stop. That's the only time you would want to idle. The newer trucks have tighter tolerance s for the bearing surfaces. Compared to years ago. Otherwise ideling isn't recommended,oh except when you need to melt ice off the windows before starting your day..
K so with the ac blowing like crazy balls in the sleeper. We just adjust the fan speed up front and circulate the air so it goes back regular in the back. It’s annoying af but we always dealt with that shit
The defrost has nothing to do with summer or winter. That's a common misconception. I use to make that too. It actually just pulls humidity out of the air. It can work with heat or air conditioning. Try it! It may make a difference.
I really like all these newer trucks. My only experience was with a 80’s cab over and it would beat the crap out of the driver.And wasn’t much fun to live in.But those old peace’s of shit were reliable though
You can specify that yours is one of the piggyback tractors when you order your tractor. They charge for that like its optional equipment. I think it’s an extra $700 +/-.
All I have to say is a freightliner is so much better then a Volvo. I love the led lighting in the tractor as well and only thing can say is bad is there is no vents on the top bunk!!how did that happen lol be safe out there!
Wind blades supposed to direct airflow down the side of truck. They prob need to do like peterbilt and install a curved piece of weatherstripping around windows and it will keep the moisture off windows. Idling also increases maintenance intervals and they guy told you exactly right on wear and tear.
@@natashatrucking yeah I drove for Wal-Mart for 6 yrs and we tested electric APU. Unless things have changed the BTU ratings are not as high so not as a effective as diesel powered. We came to conclusion that on hott days close the curtains turn on sleeper and front A/C and cool cab off before shutting down
Girl, you got no bags, no worries you'll get them soon enough 😉 And drivers always complain, too hot or t too cold, too much work not enough, etc, etc ...quit complaining about everything! 😠 Sériously, your issue comes from the ECU not thinking right. Reprogramming is needed. Totally agree with the big f......g mirrors especially when hitting a roundabout or driving in the mountains on two lane roads! 🤔
Electrical problems like that stem off of workmanship issues during the build in the plant by human faults and chaffing of wires where the wire insulation is wore through and shorting out... Anything auto made in Mexico has quality workmanship issues... cheap labor. Big corporations area the problem
Hey guys😃 when you said 8.4 MPG is it for each fuel tank, or for all miles on the truck? At what speed do you Cruise? What is your average gross weight? How good is your dog at backing up? just joking😄 be safe✌
Lol our dog is the only one who can back up he was off duty 😂😂😂 8.4 mpg is for the total avg life of our truck so far. We pull light weight for fuel economy & tire life anywhere from 2,000-25,000 mostly. We don’t pull heavy no need
Also I forget the avg gross we usually have because we pull so light we never scale up but yeh you could easily calculate it by the avg load weights I listed We usually cruise at 70 or 65
Hi guys ! Sounds like you’re AC problem is is the temp sensor in cab , it’s trying to achieve a cold temperature when u don’t want it ! Most sensors have a default temp , when they go bad they may just have a default of let’s say 80 degrees F or maybe 115 f so auto temp is prob trying to get it cooled down ! And yes what’s 2000 miles on new truck ! Did u buy a used truck! No ! I don’t blame u ! Safe travels guys !
Hello Natasha Trucking its foster how you doing? I am blessed and I'm working now. In the lumber section at home depot. It's been a year I've been working. But I'm not going to be working as much as I want to because my grandpa is sick with lung cancer. Please pray for us
Yes it's a new truck, nice feeling and all..BUT i actually feel bad 4u guys, i drive a long hood 6nz 18 speed and my truck rolls coal, some of you might say weeeeell my truck has better fuel economy... In my case i put fuel and drive it and look cool while doing it, pros: even a butcher can fix it, cons: can't go into tight places due to long frame and hood, but i pull a skateboard so im always out in the open, be safe and good luck with the truck.
My wife and I are thinking about buying our first truck and leasing on with silver because of yall. We are wondering if there was a way to get in touch with you? If you dont mind helping us out we have some first time owner questions. thank you and love the videos!
Our exact set up was 157k, depending on your interest rate and amount you’re loaning it could range from 2,800-3,800 ballpark. Keep in mind they require 20-30% minimum depending how much owner op and loan history you have
So I been driving a milk truck for a union for years I want to buy a new truck and trailer and start my own business and drive teams with my brother Teddy my name is Teddy as well..lol!! My brother drives a truck in Northride CA and I told him I have the money let's buy all new and have 0 payments and will buy like 3 years of insurance up front . Is there good money for us to make ??
Yes ofcourse! And if you’re pay less overall for not getting interest payment on your equipment then your profits will be even higher to give you less risk. You could buy a used trailer out right too Make sure you try it out first and you like it aleast enough before dropping everything into it ☺️
$600 -$700 for both tanks depending which state’s fuel prices haha. Full tanks gets us approx 24 hrs of driving it all depends on how heavy our load is and how many mountains too

The steering wheel tilt adjuster will get easier as it gets broken in the more you use it. I had the same problem.

Exactly I gave not had any major breakdown driving a Volvo. 860
Yup it plugs up your dpf filters that why they need to be washed out about 200 to 300 thousand miles
That,s why it,s more important to see the hours on a engine than the miles

Electrical problems like that stem off of workmanship issues during the build in the plant by human faults and chaffing of wires where the wire insulation is wore through and shorting out...
Anything auto made in Mexico has quality workmanship issues... cheap labor.
Big corporations area the problem
Hey guys😃 when you said 8.4 MPG is it for each fuel tank, or for all miles on the truck?
At what speed do you Cruise?
What is your average gross weight?
How good is your dog at backing up?
just joking😄 be safe✌
Lol our dog is the only one who can back up he was off duty 😂😂😂 8.4 mpg is for the total avg life of our truck so far. We pull light weight for fuel economy & tire life anywhere from 2,000-25,000 mostly. We don’t pull heavy no need
Also I forget the avg gross we usually have because we pull so light we never scale up but yeh you could easily calculate it by the avg load weights I listed
We usually cruise at 70 or 65
Same issue with the over head light just pops out I unplugged it and wrapped usb led lights with remote

Hi guys ! Sounds like you’re AC problem is is the temp sensor in cab , it’s trying to achieve a cold temperature when u don’t want it ! Most sensors have a default temp , when they go bad they may just have a default of let’s say 80 degrees F or maybe 115 f so auto temp is prob trying to get it cooled down ! And yes what’s 2000 miles on new truck ! Did u buy a used truck! No ! I don’t blame u ! Safe travels guys !
Haha I love your comment! And Thankyou so much for the help we’re taking it to the shop soon and will update ya’ll:-)

Yes it's a new truck, nice feeling and all..BUT i actually feel bad 4u guys, i drive a long hood 6nz 18 speed and my truck rolls coal, some of you might say weeeeell my truck has better fuel economy...
In my case i put fuel and drive it and look cool while doing it, pros: even a butcher can fix it, cons: can't go into tight places due to long frame and hood, but i pull a skateboard so im always out in the open, be safe and good luck with the truck.
We ride our skateboard too whoooo:-)
@@natashatrucking by skateboard i meant i pull a flatbed lol.

Our exact set up was 157k, depending on your interest rate and amount you’re loaning it could range from 2,800-3,800 ballpark. Keep in mind they require 20-30% minimum depending how much owner op and loan history you have

So I been driving a milk truck for a union for years I want to buy a new truck and trailer and start my own business and drive teams with my brother Teddy my name is Teddy as well..lol!! My brother drives a truck in Northride CA and I told him I have the money let's buy all new and have 0 payments and will buy like 3 years of insurance up front . Is there good money for us to make ??
Yes ofcourse! And if you’re pay less overall for not getting interest payment on your equipment then your profits will be even higher to give you less risk. You could buy a used trailer out right too
Make sure you try it out first and you like it aleast enough before dropping everything into it ☺️
ARE YOU SURE THE LIGHT IS A MALFUNCTION AND NOT A GHOST 👻 LOL
Sure as heck feels like a ghost LOL
