Been with them for 3 months now and love it so far

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

We are so glad to hear that!!!! Happy for you!! Thanks for letting us know! Are you OTR? Out of which terminal?

[@Tjsundstrom]

@@TheJoyofTrucking I am on the Shaffer otr side and out Marietta Georgia

[@chriswright2250]

The New Truck was thirsty. Kevin is very meticulous and thats his success!

[@johnkempter8162]

Very smooth of the staff to give you a new truck and not an active fuel card

[@matthewshultz4591]

Glad I never had an issue with my fuel card switching trucks

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Turns out it might have been that the pump didn’t ‘open’ until later. We didn’t realize there were hours of operation. So now we do t know which issue it was. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

[@mutt1256]

Congratulations on the new truck hope you have lots of safe travels and no breake downs. Kevin is like a kid with his first new car lol good luck and be careful

[@brandonaynesmay352]

I don't like how they don't have regular gauges anymore. I don't mind the display but I prefer things like speedometer and tach and fuel to be be on a gauge. Also the milage when I have to fuel. Have to wait a sec and turn ignition on to get the miles.

[@iandrew6347]

Great video Guys happy travels

[@michaeltankersley4115]

As a DM at a large carrier, I think your videos would be great material for our training folks to use to illustrate how the job is to new drivers and dispatchers alike. Keep on rollin'!

[@chrisborey1734]

I was thinking about that. Starting with Pre-Trip. And many more to come. I really don’t talk highly of anyone However Kevin is top notch of everything he does. The company he works for is very lucky to have him. Outstanding job Kevin and big congratulations on your new truck. Stay safe and healthy and safe travels

Im with you on the reading of the fuel pump display. My eyes just are not what they used to be. Ive been buying DEF at walmart and mixing it with water for spray fertilizer on my lawn.

[@KyzerSusie]

That new truck looks sweet! I'm only an online trucker, so did not realize your company dictates the amount of fuel you get instead of the amount required to actually fill the tank. Keep on trucking!!

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

There’s a lot of calculations that go into the fuel solutions at Crete. Not all companies do this the same way.

[@football11248]

How big is your truck fuel tanks?

[@aliibrahimi8123]

⛽🚚ok 👌👍

[@jameslarry1987]

Is the company going to put a APU on your truck

[@bretroberts5013]

It's inevitable that when switching trucks the cards are never transferred, no matter what company you drive for it's an issue. Can't count the number of times it happened to me...it's frustrating.

[@kemo6917]

The Cascadia had a front license plate, none on the KW. Gotta straighten out that fuel card!

[@glenngray1201]

Well looks like you got fuel unlike the title ..

[@conradkalb4464]

Didn't check under the hood for fluid levels on the first fuel up?

[@j.j.mahanyjr776]

Ike at Bonehead truckers would be proud of you, no flip-flops, PS, nice chain drive wallet. Haven't seen one of those since I worked at Truck Stops in Rochester i n the 60's

[@williameaker7993]

When pulling out the DEF fuel line there was a lot of fuel spilled on the side of the truck and ground. Not good for the environment.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

We agree and try to avoid it. But, sometimes it does happen. 😔 The video shows that he did wipe it off the truck.

[@dustind3960]

What is the fuel milage in the in the new kenny vs the older casey

[@Noname77331]

🚚⛽️

[@JohnSwanagon]

Love your videos! One recommendation. Don’t show Kevin entering numbers into a pump. Someone could get your PIN # off of the video.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

So glad to hear that you love our videos! Yes! You are right! That occurred to me and that’s why I suddenly swung the camera away. 🤦‍♀️ Thanks for looking out for us!

[@RAINMAN309]

New subscriber here I enjoy your videos your husband looks a lot like dr. Steven Greer😊

[@williampeters6004]

With the truck being brand new and the tanks being almost completely empty you would figure they would have you down for a complete fill up wherever they told you to go to for fuel. Makes you wonder about this whole system of fueling

[@shelbyembry4367]

Can yall say where ur going n where ur at I drove for Crete n early 2000

[@joshuabrown1314]

Nothings worse than Frosty DEF on a new truck! Man you're makin me want to take a trip otr in a brand new truck!!

[@maxandsonrailroaders618]

Random question, do you have a CB Radio? Did you have it in the Cascadia? As you know T680’s are pre wired with CB antennas. Planning to invest in a CB, but want to know that I’ll be able to use it in a Cascadia.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Yes, yes, and yes. We highly recommend it. There’s videos on our channel on how to install it in the Cascadia. And we heard you can ask the mechanics at the terminals to put it in, but haven’t confirmed that. We think it’s an important piece of safety equipment.

[@hpkntnw]

What’s that truck get about 5.5-6 mpg?

[@papat7663]

48 gallons of fuel what was the other liquid of are 16 gallons mostly water?

[@skinny-peters-JR.]

Dam only 50 gallons.....should have took fuel out of freightliner. & put in T680.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

😆😆😆😆😂🤣👍

[@joshuaschreibman8961]

What’s the second liquid you put in? The one after the diesel fuel?

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

DEF. Cleans up the exhaust of diesel engines.

[@seanrandall20]

From the looks of it, Crete has lots of new trucks. Are they assigning them to new drivers as well?

[@mymisty7]

I've known several that have got them. Don't know the criteria, but I bet experience has something to do with it

[@ehsan848]

👍👍👍

[@michaelrains2268]

Enjoy a long relaxing ride , or as far as fifty gallons of go - go juce will take you . 😁

[@jeffreycairns767]

He should be getting atleast 7 mpg so 48 Gal X 7 mpg = 336 miles.

[@davidskinner274]

Hi guya3. What's the second pump Kevin did for?

[@martins9888]

DEF fluid

[@3dprintingaddict203]

[@philmartinez2227]

pardon my ignorance. What was that you filled up with the purple cap? you said it was 99% water.

That’s DEF, Diesel Exhaust Fluid. It’s a mix of urea and water that's injected into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to transform harmful emissions into nitrogen and water.
