I just subscribed to this channel, good review. The talking trucks LOL Thumbs up.

[@dotytruckin8443]

Love it. Hopefully I get to work there after cdl school!

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

The company has a good culture.

[@jimb3541]

That is a nice ride.

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Certainly more comfortable than a lot of companies order their trucks.

[@doja954]

LT= Love trucking

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

I do love trucking. Sounds like LG.

[@NewDayMedia.]

Luxury Truck

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Better than the stripped down ones that some carriers buy.

[@jamesmorrow9093]

Just subscribed to your channel referred to you by mark @ trucking answers I have enjoyed the videos that I have watched already do you do live podcast??? Drive safe keep up the good work!!

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

I do not have a live podcast, yet. I am looking into the mechanics of being able to do a live drive video feed. I do not have the following that Mark "your very popular" Host has.

[@ToddDuplerDUPDAWG]

I love my International LT (2017 w/X-15)

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

I had the 2017 when I first got to Cheeseman. Now I’m in a 2021, and I love it. It seems more open than the Kenworth.

[@ToddDuplerDUPDAWG]

@@midlifetrucker-thombell4722 - I had a Kenworth T680 first, then the International and I like the International much, much better. I was wrong about the year of the International, mine is a 2018 and not a 2017, not that there is much difference.

[@DrivenA111]

@@ToddDuplerDUPDAWGSo the electrical issues(if I remember correctly)are exaggerated?

[@ToddDuplerDUPDAWG]

@@DrivenA111 - I had none. However, my A/C went out 3 times within a very short period of time. Also, one water pump

[@user-yn4bj5ul1s]

LT stands for Linehaul Truck

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

That is correct. Do you know what VNL is?

[@user-yn4bj5ul1s]

No. What does VNL stand for?

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

@@user-yn4bj5ul1sVolvo - North America - Long, there are also VNR which are Regular.? It’s the hood length.

[@millionmiler]

iam your 999 subsciber iam surprised you guys don't run APUS

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

We have EPUs. They have air conditioning, and autostart the truck If necessary.

[@pugmalley]

Looks pretty basic to me. The LT I am in has a couple other buttons on it for seat adjustment. No heated seats but it is fine with me as I am a northerner so cold is normal to me. Did you ever notice the two vents up top hidden behind the cabinets?

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

When I call these trucks loaded, I can only compare them to other fleets like Heartland Express. Those are some really basic trucks.

[@white_lightning_0171]

Those are beautiful internationals how would one go about asking for a spot in their fleet???

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

A lot depends upon where you live. Cheeseman has a limited hiring map and you don’t hear ads where they are begging for drivers.

[@cotjocky466]

Thanks for the tour Thom! IMO, the wardrobe/microwave cabinet is a crap design from International. Bend over or get on your knees to get stuff in and out. Just attach a strap to the top of a cabinet and tell you the microwave goes here? Seems pretty lazy on the design to me! I saw you sneak a pic in of a Western Star? Cheesman has some Western Stars? i'd love to see a tour of that!

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Just one Western Star, the owner of Cheeseman is a driver. It’s his truck.

[@robertdaniul4390]

I am a new subscriber. You are not wrong about what these specs. But most of these specs you are showing are standard specs. But my truck from my company has diesel APU and refrigerator and a few other things. Also our trucks are leased trucks from the manufacturer itself. Also your company’s specs are still what the true independent truckers would consider a fleet spec truck and not owner/operator specs trucks.

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Thanks for subscribing. We have EPUs with Autoststart. Unless somewhere like Laredo, it can keep the truck cool but if it can’t, we can idle or get a hotel room.

[@faith-gk2ut]

Real quick question!? Where the CB goes, on top in the cubby hole, those Wi-Fi bars and little satellite symbols, what are those for cause we have those in our 2024 International and have no idea what those are for?

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

It’s the truck’s GPS. It is used for predictive cruise control (for example slowing before the crest of a hill) and for tracking the truck.

[@markvaars37]

The LT actually stands for Line haul truck

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Yes, it does. Great answer.

[@issahussein3681]

LT= Linhaul truck

[@Fishingpov101]

International long haul is what LT stands for

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Exactly right

[@jessicaespinoza1919]

What tv size can hold that mount?

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

I had a 28” in there.

[@javierrico2297]

Me interesa mucho mucho comprar un par de esas y un sencillo

[@maxrobbins8872]

Does anyone know the model number of that radio I’ve been trying to get one but international Says they don’t make one with Sirius XM

[@Edgehead_78]

I have that exact same radio and it does not have siriusXM on it. I don't see any XM button on the unit in the video either.

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

The model number of the radio that was in my 2021 International was a DEA500

[@sukhs1317]

What engine ?

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Cummins X15

[@r0498]

Long (Line) Haul Truck LT

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Long Haul Truck is correct, thanks for watching

[@howardrobinson1413]

Line haul truck

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

I look at the letters and have to look for the answer. Just like VNL on another maker. Ask a driver of one and they scratch their heads.

[@rainysunday6186]

Chrome my a&s&s.

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

Chrome or maybe silver colored plastic?

[@omarh4694]

Eaton make the worst auto trans in the market,,, rough, slow shifting fuk it

[@midlifetrucker-thombell4722]

It did pretty well while I was there.
