Driving an International Semi Truck POV

[@yaboimatt8283]

finally I've been looking for a vid like this THANK YOU

[@crazyjdkid]

Everything Gaming Well my channel is filled with a lot of videos just like this, so enjoy! Thanks for watching!

[@southernbustransportation]

Cummins ISB 6.7L?

[@MichaelTJD60]

Man I love riding high like that. Aside from the fuel cost, I wouldn't mind selling my truck and buying a medium duty or a single axle semi truck for a daily driver.

[@crazyjdkid]

+MichaelTJD60 Me too! You can see everything around you and no one can see into your truck! Lol I would love to do the same. The Sport Chassis Freightliners are pretty popular here, would totally make one a daily driver. Fuel isn't really as bad as you might think. I got 10-11mpg for the most part of driving this truck. Not too bad given its a giant moving box that weighs as much as it does. My normal pock up get 14mpg...so I really wouldn't mind the difference!

[@MichaelTJD60]

That's really not bad for the size of the truck. I get that kind of mileage driving my F-150 around, but then again I have a lead foot.

[@zacharybishop6595]

MichaelTJD60 Same here. I’d take a Freightliner M2 with an MBE 900 over a Lambo honestly.

6.7 cummins, i know that engine sound when i hear it

[@hotsauce32309]

Like a school bus

[@WolfpuppyGaming]

at the beging i thought this was a video game using a fancy head set

[@crazyjdkid]

+Wolfpuppy1010 Gaming That's what it should feel like, since it's a POV! Thanks for watching!

[@user-zg4jk9rw1f]

Damn. What engine is in that beast? Sounds like Cummins ISB 6.7. I miss the bassy clatter of the DT.

[@crazyjdkid]

callofdutyguy9 Yeah! It's the 6.7 Cummins 220hp! It's a beast compared to the DT! Thanks for watching!

[@mohamedsadik8210]

Awesome video, nice driving

[@crazyjdkid]

Thanks and thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my other ones!

[@f18pilottobe]

we have a box truck and i’ve always wanted to drive it. any advice?

[@cannonnikon4023]

Is in huntsville

[@ericyost5287]

great video. can you do a video using the exhaust/engine brake?

[@crazyjdkid]

Thanks! I would have but this truck did not come equipped with an engine brake! Hopefully the next truck will! Thanks for watching!

[@jaysmith1408]

Eric Yost Only the tractors have Jakes, of the straight trucks, only the Hino's have exhaust brakes, which are fairly effective.

[@ericyost5287]

jfsa380 all trucks should have it equipped standard or as a option.

[@jaysmith1408]

Eric Yost the tractors and hino's all come with them standard. Depending on the exact specifications the Freightliner M2's and Durastars have jakes and exhaust brakes as an option, but due to the light duty use (who really loads those trucks anywhere close to 26k lbs) of the household renters (who probably couldn't figure them out anyways) and the commercial renters generally using them locally, the company sees them as unnecessary. I would love them to have jakes, but the request falls on deaf ears. A handful of lease straight trucks have them, but are dedicated to those customers, so it is unlikely that they will appear in the rental fleet. Afterthought, given these trucks may very well run the appalachians and the rockies, it will be very easy to smoke the brakes on those hills (more familiar than you know), especially for drivers who get confused at stop signs, let alone these trucks.

[@crazyjdkid]

jfsa380 I have been on many M2s and C2s with the exhaust brake and many are they strong! That's a big reason why I was trying for a Hint this time. The company I work for has a M2 on lease through Penske, it doesn't have one. I have seen many Penske trucks smoke there brakes in the hills of Birmingham, not a very pleasant experience I'm sure! I have been on a MCI J4500 bus that smoked it's brakes to a nice glowing red desending a windy curve 2 lane road for 50 miles down a mountain. Got out to fuel up and the smoke was just pouring out.

[@luchnit.9231]

Were late.?

[@rockyreidsr.7073]

Nice color

[@crazyjdkid]

Thanks?

[@kingpin315]

I have a question can you make a right turn on that truck just using one line or you have to use two lines to turn

[@crazyjdkid]

Depends on the turn, but for the most part it will require two lanes.

[@kingpin315]

Thxs men

[@spicylime3553]

That 6.7 is better in a ram. Not in a truck like this

[@ag6371]

Even school buses use that engine

[@randomsanwhich2]

Straight truck not semi ........

[@ag6371]

It's a TerraStar or a DuraStar. ProStars are the big rigs

[@Sun_set_Trucker_Cascadia]

“Semi”

[@TJbaseliner]

Definitely not a "semi" truck. Box truck or moving van is a better description.

[@Someone_put_a_frog_in_my_pants]

Straightbody truck

[@user-yd5wr4ud7e]

Do you need a CDL to Drive that

[@crazyjdkid]

+A you shouldn't as long as you are using it residentially!

[@bradburmeister9652]

If it has air brakes you need a cdl. And if it's a semi ( combination vehicle) you need a class A

[@crazyjdkid]

No, an air brake endorsement is only required if you are over 26,000lbs and operating commercially. This truck has a 25,999lbs rating and is not working commercially so it is exempt. It sounds very odd but it is true. Think about all the old people driving big RV motor homes with a regular license.

[@Briebabcock8052]

@@crazyjdkid I don't know about New Jersey (if that's the correct state for you), but generally it's 26,000lbs and under that doesn't require a cdl on a single unit truck. 26,001lbs and over on a single unit truck requires a cdl. Not bashing you as I haven't a clue about your state. But the gvw numbers seem to be a general thing.

[@crazyjdkid]

@@Briebabcock8052 That is correct for my state, and pretty much what I mentioned above! Air Brake endorsement follows that same weight class. This was filmed in Alabama.

[@JT13974]

Shit.
