Neither!! Buy an old truck with an old motor they’re cheaper to rebuild and has less electronics. You should do a comparison of old vs new my 2003 Freightliner classic xl with a 600hp custom tuned Detroit is getting 6.7mpg average

I would like to see the data on safety between a Cascadia and a Pete. Parts you don’t have to replace are the cheapest. I can’t be the only one that find all the warning bells and lights a constant distraction on the Cascadia. The Cascadia is always going to have the lowest cost of repairs because they just can’t be repaired. I was complaining to a buddy at work today about everything being out inmy truck. He told me I have to learn to ignore until it stops raining. His is a 24 with 30k miles and it’s as bad as mine. ABS, stab control, traction control, cruise control, and all that stuff is great but if it all craps the bed in the rain what’s the point? They need to get rid of all of that distraction if the stuff isn’t gonna work when you need it. Safety must go into the value equation in my opinion. But I could be wrong.

Yea all these Canadian companies sure are popping up everywhere in Canada and just like these Middle Eastern owned companies all over Canada and USA and makes u wonder how these companies can start if rates are so bad and i can't figure out how all these Canadian comes can come to USA and haul frieght if rates are so bad

65 mph governed... Torture driving slow like that ...

😮😮😮😮😮

Hello Ronan I did 101,500$ last year and this year was 106.200$ new truck company driver 👉🍻

I keep saying they are not going to raise the rates to where it's needed to run this operation. The cost is to high

This situation put all of the information you sharing on YT under consideration. No proper research only relaying on AI…

I drove from them good people good owners

I get about 8.5 mpg average with my 23 cascaidia and that’s with about 10% idle time

Im am owner op. Every time I see a bigger carrier with semi decent trucks I think to myself must be nice, to have all those new toys. And here we are RBX was one of those. They have some decent all yellow trucks. Good thing I haven’t filed for bankruptcy but it makes me feel a bit better. If they can’t make it work with all those trucks then what can I do?

HAHAHAHAHA........Hauling CHEAP freight is the clear path to bankrupcy! !

Thank

Cheap freight destruction yet again 🤗

Dude, seriously?? You use chat gpt?? C'mon man.

Awesome 👌

While large trucking companies are failing, let's think of small companies, too. If small companies can't get off the ground, what are we yearning for? Credit is not business life, nor are red tape and category fees. It's not the time to make tiny tweaks to the trucking and freight companies. It's the right time to stare at the fundamental flaws of our transportation culture, and those flaws are loathe, jealousy, and complacency. The trucking world is unrewarding.

Where are those "rich truckers" 😂😂

KAL is in big trouble. Finding lots of fraud within . There gonna be done .

👍

Detroit engine is garbage!

Any numbers on O/O that quit the business? Also numbers of lease operators that walked away?

ChatGPT 😂😂

I know it's old, but y'all are getting paid $85 a year (post tax, I assume), for driving 70 hours per 7 days? As a European long hauler it seems like an unbelievable amount of work (roughly 50 hours of work per week are my numbers)

Its good for you. You gotta big outfit. Not good for a new guy just starting out. But, R u kiding me. The costs, in every way, r to outrageous to support the idea that they get better fuel mileage. You got major costs of purchase, down time do to problems with new stuff, primarily the DEF system. No way a new guy can afford these trucks and build a business.

So you have a bunch of trucks causing huge amount of traffic blocking the hills and passing another truck that ls governed stuck in the passing lane for a hour to be passed again by the same truck that ls lighter down the other side and men who drive real power are stuck behind your rig's that causes a lot of road rage

Slave wages below minimum wage for drivers

Neither. Trucking is a goddamn trap. Don't join or get out while you can.

John Oliver did an excellent expose titled, "Trucks" . You guys should check that out. Another reason why your industry is lacking, is because corporations have hired illegals who will accept a fraction of your pay. And, they have saturated the market; which is undercutting you. If you people can't get serious/honest about the reality of the situation, then how do you expect to defend and protect your jobs? Are truckers unionized? When I was growing up, truckers were respected members of our workforce; who, were more than capable of maintaining their homes. I'm so sorry you all are going through this.

love load connect but no diddy

I've used both the Diesel APU and the Battery Pack APU and I much, much prefer the Diesel APU. I hate the Freightliner battery pack APU because in summer time when the A/C is on the batteries drain to the point that the engine has to start about 6-8 hrs into the 10 hrs off and the damn engine IMMEDIATELY revs to about 1200 rpm! Not only does it jolt me out of a sound sleep, I'm quite sure going to 1200 rpm immediately on startup is NOT good for the engine as the oil doesn't have a chance to get to the top of the engine. As you're well aware Ronen, idle time isn't necessarily the biggest factor a driver or corporation can control in fuel consumption (although it does play a large role). You've provided us with the engine and transmission specs - but what is the rear axle ratio on both the 21's and 25's? Keeping the rpms down at highway speeds is also a major factor in fuel consumption, along with the terrain (ET usually runs US Midwest, Ontario east, and US Eastern Seaboard, correct?) and load weight. I was running a 2017 Pete 579 with a PACCAR MX13 engine and automated transmission, (not sure what the rear axle ratio was) pulling an average of 76,000 to 78,000 lbs from Mira Loma, CA, to Calgary AB, and I'd get an average (according to the truck and math) of about 7.5 mpg. Naturally, the mileage would be anywhere from .25 to .5 gallon less during winter. I considered that good mileage because I'd be climbing from near sea level in CA to 3000+ ft elevation in Utah, then I'd be going through the mountains in Montana. I would fuel in St George UT, and again in Shelby MT (952 miles) and would fill between 130 - 140 gallons in Shelby. The truck did have a TriPac diesel APU, so idle time was minimal (I did idle the engine during the pretrip to get the oil flowing). Does the amount of fuel saved equal or exceed the cost of a new unit over the unit's lifespan? How long does ET usually keep its company units? If the '21 is paid off (or about to be) is it worth it to spend $200K plus the diesel APU on a new '25?

I’m aware of my fuel ⛽️ consumption. I will do whatever it takes to build up the mileage to fuel, even if I have to run my unit at 60 mph. Currently I’m driving a 2024 Cascadia with ele interior comfort zone. I live in my truck for at least 6 wks. I’m constantly considering fuel consumption for hours resting. 7.8 mpg is average for each week and depending upon the job, 7.4-8.7. I have achieved 11.3 empty. Not withstanding the total picture. I’m leaving this to you-

Eager to see the mpg on new international eith Scania powertrain. Looks promising.

Also... Have you thought about having just One drive live axle? I drove a Peterbilt like it, necer an issue. In Europe they pull as much weight or more, probably eith just One pulling axle. The weight reduction may pay off. What about ordering with disc brakes, i stead of drums, another huge weight reduction. Great video. 😊

HI , great video. I run a DD13 425 hp, with an Allison automatic, pulls great. 79900 all the time. Have you thought about going to a DD13 ? Is 10 % smaller in displacement, and can be order up to 525 hp ( which you may not need) 😂. The DD 13 is pretty much similar to DD15, and DD16. Just smaller. DD13, compares better to Volvo s 13 liter . It may pay off for you trying the DD13.

He forgot the insurance which is the most important part

Shippers are paying more. Brokers are trying to penny pinch drivers to pocket the extra money on top of their booking fees

TQL recruiter messaged me on indeed yesterday saying I’m a candidate so I went to TQL main site (Entry level sales representative) (Fast track program) $2,500 sign on bonus, & $7,500 bi weekly housing stipend No experience needed, think this is some BS? 40-50k plus commission (so they say)
