On The Hunt Ep.12 Cabover Semi Auction

Western Star and Freightliner are both owned by Daimler. Coincidentally that steering wheel is the same as in the Mercedes Actros.

[@konemieskou]

Same steering wheel also in Sisu trucks because they use Mercedes caps

Nytpä vasta huomasin että taidat olla Suomesta sinäkin

[@Perkelenaattori]

@@konemieskou Kyllä hyvinkin.

[@islandman5802]

Daimler is the parent company and there would be some parts commonality. Steering wheels are similar but different part numbers. I’m sure Paccar shares parts between KW and Pete to save cost and to have less suppliers and parts to inventory.

[@Perkelenaattori]

@@islandman5802 Yes of course they have different parts numbers since the logo on the wheel is different. If you look at the steering wheel control buttons you'll notice the switch gear is the same though. And I'm not blaming them for sharing parts, frankly speaking the Actros is an excellent working environment.

[@rustyshackleford498]

I've driven freightliners, W900s, 389s, T2000, T880s. Been driving a 4965ex for six years, and it's the most comfortable driving, and best layed out cab design of any of them. I'm a die hard Western Star fan now.

[@_AndromedaGalaxy_]

my parents bought a house in GF, MT from a grain hauler guy that had a twin steer cabover with a big sleeper and matching trailer. black and chrome. i dont remember the brand or anything but it was rare indeed. his shop where he parked it was next to my house. at the time i assumed it was a money pit cuz he was always working on it but now i think he was just being extremely meticulous with it to keep the value up. it never stayed dirty for long and always shined like a gem.

[@spottedhoss1920]

Mornin I hope you had a great day at the sale, I'm sure I'm not the first one to tell you that Western star was bought out by Freightliner some years back. I have drove both of those and my preference is the Freightliner Coronado, really enjoyed driving it. There are just a few small differences in driving the two trucks but I do like the Freightliner better. Really liked the look of the Kenworth cabover, I have accually seen that truck on the highway working, good looking truck and yes those old KW cabover are a hot seller now. I have a friend who lives south of me he has an old KW cabover tandem grain truck but sadly he has let it go to past the point of restoration. If your ever coming through Whitecourt again please feel free to give me a call my wife always has the coffee on and if your hungry you will get way better than bread heels here. You can message me on facebook, I got about 45 years of trucking stories I can share with you. Have a great day my friend really enjoyed the video.

[@highjix]

When I was an owner operator trust me I was concerned about every mile I could get out of my fuel. with that being said, if I where to become an owner operator in a class 8 truck I would look for the 689 with the aero package (if I went with pete) the way I see it, even if you saved 1 dollar for every mile you drove, considering that truck was close to a million miles that truck could have kept almost a million dollars in your pocket in fuel costs. but that is just my rough guestimate pulled strait out of thin air.... Sure the old school looking trucks look cool, but if I am buying the fuel then Forget looks I would rather have the money. When I owned my little box truck freightliner my driving style completely changed after a couple trips to the pumps because it was hurting my bottom line.
