2024 Freightliner Truck Tour

[@EllieODaire]

I think the Prime spec is one of the best basic high efficiency Freightliner setups I've seen. The only thing I think I'd want to change externally is maybe adding the rest of the AeroX drive axle fairings and going with the Daimler ParkSmart EPU instead of the TriPac diesel generator.

[@nkosi422]

Need to already come with the fridge and more horse power min 505hp. I love the apu unit and grill guard with fog lights.

[@redman2805]

All they ever have is a down sped motor to either 400-455hp and they need to add a option on prime trucks especially when you pass them they have their fog lights on with no fog and when those aren't on their high beams usually so when go to pass one and they don't dim them down the truck will sense it and dim them for them because they never have cbs to say hey dim ya high beams

[@kevinphillips150]

Can't you order a new truck with a frig?

[@SamsUtahRailfanningAdventures]

A true beauty!

[@markroberts2114]

No, a 389 is a "true beauty."

[@SamsUtahRailfanningAdventures]

@@markroberts2114 I look for aerodynamics

[@jeremydunman4964]

Wow Freightliner rep knocks it out of the park. Very professional and sounds knowledgeable and well put together. Sorry Pete reps he did 10x better then you guys did ❤

[@drifter19444]

Your right, for sure! 😎 Drifter

[@jeremydunman4964]

@@drifter19444 the Pete guys looked lost. They would of just showed a picture of the truck and said here’s the new 2024 Pete’s and for you drivers you will be stopping at almost ever Pete dealer along your route😂

[@kevinphillips150]

I'm currently in a KW and am looking forward to getting out of it!

[@riseupstudios12]

As a company driver can you pick out the color and black out package and also can you choose the two complete digital dashes I’ve seen the digital dashes in other 2024 and I like those better

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

For our company driver you typically get to choose between what is available at the time.

[@richardmassey2699]

Nice trucks you cant lose.💰

[@gaagaalayaasha]

Nice truck

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@moniqueaftertrucking]

Very nice- maybe I should return

[@hpowlman9114]

Yall should of reviewed my 24 freightliner it has the full digital dashboard and more goodies

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Find us on Facebook or Instagram and shoot us a message!

[@2020-c8y]

How do u like the digital dash ?

[@hpowlman9114]

@user-fl7pw3vl3t it's cool but if u get the option all gauges are on radio and speedometer. U are able to control all the lights on radio it also have android and Apple car play. It connects to ur phone pretty quickly plus u can have the radio on without touching the key

[@2020-c8y]

@@hpowlman9114 sounds like u enjoying it, I drive a Volvo, let’s see how that digital comes on that new coming body

[@kiwi8476]

Prime had put it in their magazine last year that they were maybe working on solar power.. wonder what’s up with that?

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

We have started installing them on all of our 2024 trucks. You can check out this video for more information on it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZzTYqWunb2Jq5Y

[@KimL1000]

This truck would be perfect for towing a Luxe fifth wheel.

[@tranardcharles4585]

My 2024 freightliner doesn’t have the side assist feature on the exterior.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

@Tranard Charles the side assist feature came in the middle of the model year so it is possible that your truck was earlier enough in the year it didn't receive one.

[@Oldcarnut63]

Nice rig 👍👍

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

It sure is!

[@michaelhawks5683]

Good looking truck only thing I seen wrong with it was those super singles tires on it everything else was good

[@cooterbrown7681]

Looks just like all the other 😂

[@bageltv3489]

Is there a pull out desk for a laptop ?

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Yes, it is located under the large storage compartment behind the driver's seat. At 7:22 you can see the pull out in between the two compartments.

[@TgAthlete]

Mine has 28k miles and has been in the shop about once a month

[@nobull4414]

Shaker or Peter truck? Why has it been in the shop?

[@weirdfan88]

Emmision and electrical issues?

[@TgAthlete]

@nobull4414 Shaker with CPC issues which is electronic

[@thepackyouknow]

What about the front suspension? 🤔

[@anakinmoon6817]

Are you going to do the Kenworth as well

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Trying to work with our Kenworth reps to set something up!

[@COBRA29GTL]

Why would they not go with disk brakes all the way around? less weight and better stopping power

[@johnhudelson2652]

Not to mention that disk brake pads are MUCH easier to replace than brake shoes on drum brakes. I know first hand from replacing linings on both types of brakes.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

It was a cost and supply chain issue at the time. We had trouble getting rear disk brakes over the road and it was more cost-effective for the operator to not get disk brakes all the way around.

[@dave3660]

Just a road hazzard. Add some speed to them trucks

[@Michaeldtimmins]

Can we please get a tour of the Volvos?

[@markroberts2114]

Volvo's have a higher maintenance cost, repair cost, break down rate, and lower resale numbers than Freightliners, so most fleets shy away from them.

[@Peruviantrucker]

They are all at the shop😈😜.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

We are working with out Volvo Reps to get one set up!

[@2020-c8y]

@@Peruviantrucker true, got mine on October with 800 miles in it and is already by 70k miles haven’t had a single problem yet, I’m on top of the maintenance after certain amount of miles and the performance is phenomenal, goes up the hills and down smoothly and engine brake is way more stronger than freightliner’s believe it or not, difference is u feel every single thing from the cab in the freightliner, in a Volvo the feel is smooth! no repita lo que oye por ahí, móntese en cada camión y tenga su opinión propia en base a su experiencia, saludos

[@2020-c8y]

@@markroberts2114not true, I drive a 2023 Volvo for prime and haven’t had a single problem and I don’t think I will if I keep taking care of it the way I do! Peterbilts and Kw are the ones living rent free in the shop 😂😂😂

nothing on it has changed been the same since 2018 just a newer engine and more sensors to break

[@willarddevoe5893]

Super Singles suck. Side skirts block maintenance and they are a fire hazard. An AM radio is a safety item. Buttons don't belong on the steering spokes. A Chest freezer shelf would help. Nice Freightliner.

[@johnking2407]

Is this what prime is in training for five months no communication from the fleet manager being told second hand that there waiting on trucks for me to upgrade meanwhile I don’t know the last time I’ve seen my kids do I even have a fleet manager I wouldn’t know don’t know how long I will last

Prime tested them on a few trucks and the smart option did not work for our operation.

[@sweetintegrityful]

@@jeremydunman4964 did they just malfunction? Apps malfunction too.. it would save lbs on the truck if it was an option.

Smart start option in ideal conditions. The apu in all conditions.

Hello Chad. Thank you for wanting to keep us in the loop but it looks like this is not correct. No new law is being passed with the FMCSA regarding this.

nice truck but would like sunvisor and proper size engine

[@kevinphillips150]

I had two Volvos with Prime. I regret the first one since it was EXPENSIVE to repair/fix. The second one was too big for one person.

Nothing looks different same interior same design same truck difffent year

[@jeremydunman4964]

Totally different!!! Comes with led head lights, front curtains and more aerodynamics features, and side warnings.

[@Pa_school_bus_enthusiast]

same interior as a columbia 20 years ago nothing on those things have changed just a higher price tag of $222,000

[@Mr.Atlanta850]

Yeah you leaving out the face facing cameras being installed in those trucks for Prime. I would say good luck keeping drivers but it'll take care of itself eventually. They think they need lease drivers now. Prime will be just like Swift in less than a year.😂

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Hi! We are looking into the technology no decision has been made yet. The only decision that has been made is that we are getting outward facing (aka a dahs cam).

[@kevinphillips150]

That is a good thing.

[@bicyclenerd.9377]

Volvo has more power and torque with the same fuel mileage or even better.

[@kevinphillips150]

Too expensive to fix.
