Yes cabspace upfront looks really narrow.. 0:44 seems it would feel crowded be jammed up esp if teamdriving w guy in pass seat.. less space.

Great truck. Length of the hood will not be a problem, unless you do a lot city driving. Watch Super Trucker Dan to get a driver’s take on the difference between a “hood” and an aero truck and the Paccar engine. All the best with your decision. Blessings

Thanks for a tour of the modern semi. I've always wondered what they look like when I see those sleepers.
@michaelquatrano61893 жыл бұрын
The exhaust is definitely better behind the cab. Not so easy to do with a sleeper. Best of everything to you on your endeavor.

Hi Bob.. nice tour.. that stupid frig up top ? ..that's bassbackwards should be down below bottom.. 1:21 not uptop..plus it looks be overhanging frt edge.. omg.. screwed up.. and small frig sucks.. plus they leak out water when need defrosting.... Bed is so wide 0:59 ..have narrow lil closet 1:38 space under microwave spot there... if hadnormal width bed prob put good size frig/frzr under the microwave. rght? not need queen size bed in cab.. too wide wasted space. ..best has lots of nicewindows in back, above moon roof, frt r pass door... but... do Tdrivers like those windows or are they not needed.. easier to break in etc?

Is it really that bad seeing w sidemirrors 0:30 .. looks kind a ok to get view of out back rear ? That would be def bad w a trailer hooked up... mirrors look small short cheap too.. would expect nice big long ones on a brand new '21 389 Pbilt. not aTrucker.. so i dunno.
@phillp77773 жыл бұрын
Look how diff on 567 Pbilt it's got 11:01 special frt round mirrors tilted down so u can see over nose and the frt bumper... ( kinda look stupid but maybe useful) ... but 389 longnose got nothing like that and need it more. Did they design the 567 after the 389 ? ( try correct their mistakes?) Yeh those exh stacks so big must get in way of sidemirrors be able see trailer backing up... stupid desugn.. if ask me.. but not a Trucker.

Why how is manual shifter pattern so diff on this 389 Pbilt than what yur used to ? It looks pretty smooth easy watchn you drive. Good Luck !

I was wondering, are you still working for Roehl? Peterbilt is a good choice. I put a application for Roehl and a recruiter already contact me, but I am waiting to see what is going to happen in my job after November 1st. I have been working for Chicago Transit Authority for 20 years as a bus operator, but the city is mandating the vaccine and I don't want the jab. so I'm looking forward to join the trucking industries.
@BullseyeBob2 жыл бұрын
I don't think the trucking industry is exempt from the mandate is it? I don't know. No, I bought a truck last February and leased it onto a hazmat carrier. I still run 48 states OTR but make lots more than I ever did.

Was your overall experience with Roehl positive? I've read they can help you become an owner/operator, so I'm interested to know if they helped or if you accomplished it a different way.
