CFI Driver's What's Your 20? (2017 edition)

Nah. It’s just ground up cars less the metals. They call it fluff.

 

I heard there were a couple of Pete's going into service...didn di know when...guess it's soon!

 

It’s probably a Pete 579 Ultraloft.

 

Maybe. ‍♂️ Idk didn't cfi just make a big deal.about making all our trucks kenworth and t680s so they don't have to hold so many extra parts and all anymore

 

KW and Petes are pretty much the same truck. They are both Paccar products.

 

Knuckleheads on the bus were talking about them. The general consensus is they are reserved for lease operators. So it makes sense. Do the numbers a leasing a brand new truck with a mega carrier. I didn't have the heart to explain Business 101. Or that it looks like they are going to finishers.

We evaluated volos, Pete's, Pro Stars and cascadias years ago. They went to finishers and dedicated drivers so that they could evaluated the cost of operating on fairly regular routes where they alresda knew the costs.

 

Except cfi doesn't have lease operators. Also whats his name said manufacturers could offer up trucks/pricing. No commitment to an exclusive brand.

 

I'm here running my butt off at usxpress lol 2k to 3200 miles a week. I been everywhere from midwest to east coast to north east. I'm switching to dedicated quad graphics account pays me like 42 cents instead of 32 cents lol.

Guys please I can't stress this enough please report damaged lights after you drop off trailers so at least road service can come fix them before the next driver comes to pick it up.... Too many day drivers don't report damaged lights because it doesn't affect them.... Smh... Well y'all getting reported by me one at a time whenever this crap happens...

Good that you didn't leave before they were repaired. I caught a ticket thinking I could drive to the next available TA.
You are you and they are them. Just keep doing what you're doing.
FYI the license plate lights at loves and FJ/pilot in the retail store have changed. Vendor took out the kind that just pop in. The new ones you have to hardwire. PITA. The loves and TA repair shops still have the kind we use.
