Making The First Delivery In My Custom $250k Truck

[@atthattime768]

You've kept all your trucks clean inside. Drivers like you deserve nice equipment.

[@Chris4mz]

Great job backing into that tight dock today Alex. I know you’ve had a Kenworth power unit before, but I hope you’re enjoying the new Next Gen truck.

[@shaun2318]

Tight?

[@ronnader2458]

For those who don’t know, most bigger trucking companies don’t own their own trucks. They are fleet owned. They are just leased to the trucking company, and after a certain amount of years and mileage, they get replaced with a new one.

[@antoniovaldez1972]

Take the hill assist off when backing up and it won’t “jolt”on you while backing

Great to see Mr.Ken E. Worth , on the roads still very well super happy ☺ for you !

[@duz03killz]

I saw u on 80 in Illinois u look like your still getting use to the new truck haha but she looks good rolling on the road ! Be safe out there 👍🏼

[@guywithsometoolsandagarage57]

Hey just a quick tip, when you're low on air like you were at the beginning don't pull your maxis, you dump a fair bit of air when you do that. As long as you're on flat ground just leave it in neutral and build air like you were. Otherwise, when you release brakes again you lose air pressure again charging the lines! Unless there's some new technology that requires it, it would save you time! Best of luck out there man.

[@fettolehart]

Alex.... as well as some other young truck drivers ive seen on here constantly pop both their valves all the time and it drives me CRAZY! im 29 and ive only driven for a year and a half almost 2 and thats one of the basic things they teach you in school. its a bad habit to get into especially during winter months because it makes it easier for your brakes to freeze. and when he has to keep readjusting his setup (which is fine! pull up or go around or whatever how many times you need to!) he has to keep stopping to refill his air tanks and people have commented many times telling him and he still does it. like bro... seriously, what are some of these school teaching these days. like i had to pick up a trailer from another driver from my company and it took an hour because she was out of time and didnt want to drive in violation (AND she couldnt stay at this place overnight) wouldn't listen to me on how to go into PC... she had NO IDEA what personal conveyance even is... had to wait for her to call the company and get them to walk her through it..... she got downagraded out of her truck and back with a trainer.

[@l.ls.8890]

Well happy journey so far Alex. At least you have not been travelling on icy slippery roads risking becoming a casualty of the winter storms.

Trucking can be lucrative due to high demand for freight transport. Factors like experience, type of hauls, and owning a truck impact earnings. Keep in mind long hours and time away from home.❤

[@patricia_nura3378]

Investing in a small business related to trucking, such as owning a truck or establishing a freight brokerage, can provide additional income streams for truck drivers. Diversifying investments helps mitigate risks and increases financial stability.

[@leonardives1991]

Advise diversifying income in trucking, caution against the "do it myself" approach. Suggest seeking investment advice to navigate challenges. Personally, my portfolio surged by almost 300% since January 2020, reaching seven figures amid the COVID outbreak.

[@grey_johnson6718]

This School bus driver has a students grapefruit roll under his brake pedal, and when he slammed on the brakes not only did the brakes not fully engage, but the grapefruit got smashed and the juice squirted into his eyes temporarily blinding him. OMG...poor Otto.

Best comment

[@ghosthunter430]

45 degree ally dock is the best 90 degree backing should only be used in certain situations

[@joeruiz6351]

Great job Alex. An idea when backing in tight places that has worked for me. Move the trailer tandems to the front so it might help you back into a tight spot. It's a little more work getting off and back on the truck, but you'll have a better chance on messing up your KW. Moving the the tandems forward will also help you in an area like downtown and big city deliveries. It will be easier to make turns. Remember, even if you had moved your tandems for reasons of being legal weight on highway, you won't be going through any more state scales to worry about. Just a thought. 👍👌

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

While riding in a borrowed dump truck with my uncle he remarked "this thing drives like a truck!" He was accustomed to his semi, so I guess if you want to drive big trucks, prepare for a varied experience.

[@MikeLoveBuns]

[@Runnin65]

Turn off the hillstart assist when backing it wont jump backwards on you

[@dakotamcavoy524]

Traction control isn’t going to stop the jolting. Traction control only cuts power to the wheels when it notices and increase in speed to tires. Like spinning tires on ice or something

[@rogerrocco5211]

Tough job! Complain as much as you want!

[@rebeltrucker]

Just a guess since the T680 has a 75in bunk you might be 5 to 10 inch longer wheelbase than the cascadia. I think the cas was 230 you may be 235 to 240in. Ask Steve or one of the guys at maint desk what the wheelbase is compared to cascadia. I was contracted as an o/o there 3 yrs.

[@KK-jj7zi]

Buddy did you check your 2nd stop to make sure they didn't take to much off here at the 1st stop sure would suck to be short a pallet or 2 at that 2nd stop

[@Fishinaroundtn]

Way better than a crapcadia. You can’t see the hood on a freightliner unless you raise the seat high. Feels like you’re in a cabover

[@drewsmith5040]

[@shoey64]

What month is this? why isn't there any snow in Nebraska?

[@OpeoAslam]

I’m surprised that you don’t open the door when backing in your truck. I find it quite difficult to back in my T680 without opening the door. I only leave it closed if it’s pouring down rain. The design of the window and sleeper makes it challenging for me to see rearwards.

[@ronnader2458]

I agree. Harder to see the back than Cascadia

[@ronnader2458]

It does

[@greatkingrat]

Longer wheel base trucks are more comfortable on bumps. I am not sure if it’s because of it being a KW or because it’s just the wheelbase.

So, I’ve seen this happen to you a few times, where your customer tells you that the dock is in a completely different spot from the delivery address. I feel like this is the kind of thing your dispatcher would know and be able to brief you on when they assign you. Is this snipe hunt a common occurrence in trucking?

[@coltonkruse2313]

This shit happens all the time in trucking. No one bothers to check till you are late or calling them about it. I always triple check any and all addresses I get. Cause they are wrong a lot and it sucks taking a huge truck to the wrong address.
