Good morning my friend !!!! And yes I listen to all them truckers as well Dooner Livingston … Gentry and sons Callthe Mall … all good channels to listen too ….. I wish we could haul a 100,000 lbs in Pa …. We are limited to 80,000 gross without a permit 74,000 on a triaxle gross (somewhere in there) … your going hate that def shit , less mileage and more breakdowns and there’s NOWAY it’s going to make a million miles like your other truck is , they say def is like swallowing your own farts ! 🤣😂…. 🍺♥️😎

[@seanbrooking485]

My trash truck weighs 45k empty lol I hit 80k plus all the time. But i have an overweight permit as well for 90k, Its also a tri axle

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Thanks for all your positivity this morning 👋💯😋🤣🤣

[@abikerinpa]

@seanbrooking485 that just it , you have a overweight permit to legally drive that through pa , I had an overweight permit as well to pull a 14,000 gallon 5 tank gasoline tanker as well , ( I ment without overweight permit ) I also hauled heavy equipment as well ,but was not allowed to pull them if they stuck out over trailer or above 13'6 or overweight 80,000 lbs without the proper permit 🍺😎

Thanks for the tip my friend, gonna have to get a special towel to catch drips.

[@JrFlexing909]

@bradcasstevens1207 Yea, but it all depends how you drive the truck but really it the muffler get clogged, you get less power and the cost to g et it fix sucks. The Mechanical trucks are more reliable then the new ones today. To many red tap, try to fix anything with the def non-sense.

[@JrFlexing909]

@@TheBostonTrucker As well, you might want to get a special hose to pump the def in to the tank or you be using the jug in the box. Not fun. But I think your used to it with the Western Star you have. But good luck we are looking forward to your new truck.

[@theitalianbubble]

Damn this video brought me back to when i first got my cdl, (2017) and our company had a very unkempt '98 mack ch613. Had a massive exhaust leak and no brakes. but you starting that one and flipping all the light switches brought me back to when I was younger and when I enjoyed thoroughly the truck that wasn't much but was mine. It was a deteriorated lump of shit when I was first assigned to it but I detailed it to the best condition I could because I loved it's old nature and character!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I love your story! Many of us drove junk when we started out and we were just happy to be driving.

[@danielyelle1070]

Good morning Mike. New isn't always great. I personally HATE emission engines.. This Volvo with a Cummins has been nothing short of a nightmare to keep running. That's why I am up at 6:30 on a Sunday so I can run the truck for a couple hours before I leave to make sure the DEF & check engine light goes out today before I leave. They think it's the NOX sensor's on the DPF ( this time ). This emission truck is the worst truck I have ever had in 45 years of trucking. Your new truck looks nice but only one of your nice dual stacks blow smoke . On Kenworth the driver's side is just for show . Have a great week.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I'm aware, not thrilled about it but I'm happy for something new even though I'd be fine staying in mine another million miles.

[@danielyelle1070]

My friend has 4 newer Kenworth's with emission engines and has ok luck with them . But he only hauls blacktop and lowboy in the summer. No winter trucking.

Have you seen where they hide the def tank and make it look like part of the fuel tank ? Semi Casual has a video on it.
