Gettin REAL TIRED of the epa and their shenanigans. That explains why the company i drive for ended up ordering autos. I told them if you want my 09, your gonna be waiting. Not giving up my t800 for anything til she's rotted away

How I feel about my Peterbilt 389, my company has been ordering 567s, I don't want one of those.

I get better fuel mileage with my 13 speed manual because I know how to drive. I have the only manual left in our fleet, the rest are the automated Eaton transmissions, which are almost identical to mine but there’s an automated clutch and XY shifter. All of our drivers get in and put the pedal to the floor with no consideration of the operation of the truck because they don’t need to know. These autos and automated transmissions are the direct reason why we have poor drivers in the industry.

@johnaberle5955Ай бұрын
Woah that’s insane. Did the EPA make Eaton change what they could make available. And a surcharge for getting a manual sounds even more outrageous. Next thing they will start putting surcharges on hood trucks

I'll never like the W990 as much as I like the W900B and W900L.
@Longnlow.1991Ай бұрын
EPA surcharge for buying an 18 speed but not automatic that's completely ludicrous. Manual trans gets better fuel mileage than an automatic. Could you clarify for us on why ? To me it sounds like going to an automatic they are trying to get pretty much any person who can marginally pass the CDL into trucking. Maybe I'm wrong but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Can you still get an analog dash in the 990?

Nope. Just in the W900

Dang, at least they have the optional analog gauges, but still kills the classic feel for me. And our eyes are already screen overloaded today. Thanks goodness for the 900!

Beautiful truck but there ain’t nothin more fine than the w9. What does the EPA have to do with the standard? Wtf is that bs. I’m leaving the trucking industry if I’m forced to go automatic. F that
