I always used RAINX on my windshield and mirrors. It works great in hard rain. So good you turn off the wipes.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

We tried it once and it made a smeary mess. 🤔

I'm jealous of that ride. You guys have to enjoy that ride. You got less room in the truck b u t rides better. I would ask for one but I'm too old now. I want to retire in less than 2 years. 2023 Freightliner

You need some Rainx

[@karenselogic7742]

I hate the Volvo trucks . Every truck that we was temporarily on seven in all so far . Every time it rained around the bed and windows it always leaked water inside. The beds were always getting wet and if your pillow touched the wall or your blanket they’ll get soaked also. Just horrible.

[@edpippin]

You came down my neck of the woods in Augusta on I-20, if you gassed at the pilot at exit 299 you were 1/2 mile from us.

[@Hellraiser32976]

When do you put gas in a diesel engine?.

Wow I never understand why people drive so fast in wet conditions all you are going to do is aquaplane and you have no control over the vehicle . Hope and pray that person was ok ok that vehicle what went through the concrete centre reservation. Glad you are enjoying the new truck . Watching from the U.K.

[@jeffreycairns767]

Hydroplane, not aquaplane

[@CoolKidSladeYT]

im from georgia near atlanta so its cool :) i play a game called american truck simulater because yall inspired me

[@eleazarcisneros8704]

I like your videos, I have the same truck except is sky blue. Honestly, wanted to ask you guys..is really a 20024? Cuz my truck is brand new as well and was built this year the stamp on my side door date was manufactured says 2023. Don't think they built truck 2024 unless mine is as well 2024

[@jeffreycairns767]

Usually, like cars, they manufacture twice per year. The truck is manufactured at the end of each year so I highly doubt they have a 2024 unless it was a tester. Mine in a 2023 and was built towards the end of 2022 for 2023. My interior is identical to theirs so again unless it's a tester truck, I highly doubt it's actually a 2024 despite what a sticker says or what they been told. The fact that have that truck on the road and running in June of 2023, they would have had to start building it late last year or really early this year which is extremely doubtful seeing as they're still assembling 2023's at the moment. My company is waiting on some more 2023 389 Pete's and W990 KW's.

[@eleazarcisneros8704]

[@Hellraiser32976]

My god man.. how long have u driven a truck? Do you know how to read a map? I-24 does NOT go to Atlanta.. i 20 doesn't go to CHARLOTTE.. if u are going to CHARLOTTE, h should have stayed on i40 east to i 26 south to us 74 east to i 85 north to Charlotte.. my word.. tell me you was kidding..??

[@warwickhooper8302]

Which transmission in new Kenny...my old t600 in Australia has 18 so always wiggling the stick....yours seems a real easy drive...

[@crazy55rider7]

Cause it’s Automatic

[@a.m.phaneuf6164]

@@crazy55rider7...technically, not in cars, but in big-trucks, it is not a (conventional) "automatic" tranny. It is actually a standand trans, shifted by the electronics, the computer. The cargo weight is sensed, and so exactly when the RPM's are perfect, according to the weight or lack of weight you are pulling, then it shifts the gears, "automatically." But structurally, its a manuel transmission, not the auto-transmission of a car.

[@jeffreycairns767]

It's a 12 speed automated transmission

[@devilshark8200]

Funny, you named alot of places my company goes we're based out of North Carolina. I have a dozen Kenworth T680s that's all we run!
