It’s neat to see a truck with bells and whistles, been in a company truck for 24 years and never see the interior how it’s intended to be. It’s amazing to me how fast the manual transmissions disappeared. Automatics were around when I started and now I guess all the bugs are worked out and boom last few years I hardly see one anymore. Nice video. Good luck to you.

I preer dual bud spaced tires in the back anyday over super singles. But super singles are much better than they used to be, and as long as you keep them aired up properly they won't be a problem, however if they're low on air even just a little they will have a pretty good chance of blowing out. My dad worked for Flying J before they were Pilot Flying J and they had super singles there and those guy's wouldn't air them tires up and they'd just blow out left and right compared to the duals.

J.J......I apologize but I only have ever driven local. No desire to drive on the road but never say never. Love the Pete's but Freightliner still isn't to bad of a truck. I'm just getting to go back over your older videos so forgive me if I start asking questions you have answered already. You said that you have a three year lease where after that three year's the Tractor is your's. You also said that Prime only likes to keep there tractors for three year's. Is that just company owned tractors or do they tell you they want you to trade in for something new again? Also I'm curious as to what Prime pays to someone like me? 20 yrs, Or do you have a video where you break down pay, benefits ETC........Thank's J.J
@JJtheTrucker
@JJtheTrucker 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Joshua. They only keep their company trucks for 3 years. For a truck like mine that I purchase, I can go 4 years, then each additional year it needs to pass an inspection to keep going. So dor the pay and benefits, there are many options such as the division (Reefer, tanker or flatbed) and whether you're company, lease or owber/op, or with your own authority. Details can be found at www.driveforprime.com with a good breakdown.

JJ that isn’t just a truck, it should be your pride and joy.if would have had that 33 years ago I’d still be turning wheels!! But I have a question. Back in the day it was a known fact that sliding the 5th wheel all the way back would make trucks ride significantly better.I don’t hear that mentioned anymore. And yes I know the axels have to scale out so sometimes you can’t slide back so much.
@JJtheTrucker

I guess moving the trailer back reduces aerodynamics but 30+ years ago that wasn’t really thought about. Old trailers were usually spring ride and when the trailer tires hit bumps it would actually jerk the truck up and down, this was called “ trailer slap”.sliding the 5th wheel would mostly just make the ass end of the truck jerk improving ride for the driver.

I'm in a 2020 Cascadia now and just I have just about every square inch of space filled up, I can't imagine loosing that much storage. I can't wait to see how you overcome that hurdle. I'd love to get into a Pete but the lack of storage would be the only deal breaker for me.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be Jason. The cabinets are deeper and the bunk up top is much larger. The top bunk in the Peterbilt is actually larger than the bottom bunk on the Freightliner, which made a big difference. What I really do miss is all the storage of front in the drivers in area.

Apologize if a stupid question, but how is there not a dual rear tires, yet they come with dual tires on both axles, and the. they come change both the tires and wheels. Why is it that way? Doesn’t seem logical.
@JJtheTrucker
@JJtheTrucker 4 жыл бұрын
Good question. There are many advantages for super singles over dual tires. The number one reason is fuel mileage. Super singles get better fuel mileage than the duals.

JJ the Trucker - Thank you, I omitted a key word though. I meant to ask about the dual tire option... you said it wasn’t available. Why would it not be available when it ships that way, and the cost to change them.

Prime is just really big on low fuel mileage and consistency within their Fleet.

You NEVER wanna stop the truck from regen if it starts by itself. If it kicks on by itself your truck is already in stage 2 and you shitting it off can mess of up as to kicking you right into stage 4 where the truck won’t go over 10/20 mph and then you need to be towed in. If it kicks on by itself it’s already been telling you to do it an you haven’t so it’s telling you to step aside it’s taking over and if you try to fight with it it’ll win and totally shut you down

I hated super singles. I even bought a stack of tires for my trucks and trailers. And still decided I’d try super singles on my trailer. And I have to say I’ve been loving them. They ride smoother than duals on my trailer. Prime being a huge super single company. You’re perfectly fine with them.

I like the drop nose. How much more fuel efficient does that make it? Also, does Prime not allow you to get manuals anymore or did you just opt for the automatic? Also, does it have an APU? If not, you better not come to CA because I don't think you can sit at a truck stop overnight and idle all night because of CA environmental concerns.
