Prostars, the Good, the bad and tips to make better

You giving up hope or still waiting for a call? Get on their ##### if need be if not good luck finding another trucking company. There's a few hopefully it works out or maybe roehl will call for you to head to orientation. It took 2 weeks for me as well.

 

Probably Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm hoping Wednesday because Tuesday me and lantern were gonna ride to the peterbilt dealer in Jacksonville and also to the kenworth dealer too

How about the international dealer? ? ?

 

What yall doing a little future shopping?

 

They don't have any 9900ix's or lonestar's in stock. So no thanks. Lol

That's right. I'm looking for a long nose Pete or kw with a 48" flat top sleeper and 18 speed. Although i know lantern wants a kw, but with a bigger sleeper.

Yeah"I't ain't a truck if it don't have a Hood" we've had this discussion before about fuel mileage vs. NO cheep loads, etc.

Yeah I know, I'm not trying to get this thread turned into being about hood vs. Aero and all that, I'll just say I'm going to buy what I want, not what I need. As in, I'm not going to pay for something I don't want, if rather take home a smaller paycheck to buy the truck of my dreams rather than drive an Aero truck. That's all I'm going to say about that. Lol

Point taken.....It's your dream.......So do it the way you want too.

Dang right lol. Yeah, I mean of course the head of the owner operator division at Roehl has told me its not a good choice, but I understand that. If they would lease t660's for flatbed then id get one but all they have right now are the new prostars. I love my prostar, just wouldn't want to own one.

Are you all aware of the 'Pre-Trip Light Cycle' feature on a ProStar?

Basically what it does is for about 7 minutes will cycle through all your lights & brake lights. Allows you to check all lights are functioning properly. It flashes everything from headlights to high beams all signal and marker lights as well as brake lights on tractor & trailer.

To engage this feature is simple: Making sure all lights & flashers are OFF and brakes are set. Begin having key in the OFF position, then switching key to ACC or Auxiliary position. Hold DOWN 'WORK LIGHT' button for three seconds. Lights should begin test cycle for approx. 7 minutes.

To cancel either push work light button on then off or turn key to off position. Hope this helps with your pre-trip inspections.
