Since when did UPS start getting..??

Been around for well I guess as long as I can remember here in NY. They’ve been rolling in KWs.

 

We started getting them where I was at about five years ago and they were automated.

 

How are kw's coming down in price?

When everything else is going up.

I wanted a new Harley and an suv but I'll have to wait for trump to leave and take his tariffs with.

 

You done it now! Lol

But they have been in kw here too.

 

Had KWs since I started four years ago. Nice enough. I preferred the Internationals, but I guess we're going KW moving forward.

Saw some decent Freightliners out of other terminals. I have always been strangely fond of Freightliner.

 

I drive for (casual driver) UPS Freight ( I know there not like you Buster Browns) and they have a T680 on the Advanced Auto Account, twin screw. Maybe a lease don't know so of the tractors are lease at the freight division.

 

The most obnoxious ones those trucks have no pulling power on big hills. So these guys ride the heck out of the hills going up to 75 pass you up just as the hill crests and goes up now they’re getting bogged down to 55 halfway up the hill.

 

Your taking this way to personal, they are trying to build speed to help get up the next hill. I pull heavy loads with gutless trucks all the time, it is not about getting in your way, but just getting up next grade.
Thinking about it help a fellow trucker and stay out of the way and let us by. You would do the same thing put into a different truck.

 

I have seen those as far back as 2013 at the Paccar plant in Renton. I used to deliver parts there when I worked for Old Dominion.

 

I've seen a few brown kw t680 daycabs.
I would think if kw is getting cheaper it's because the are building them cheaper like a Freightliner. But none of the new cheap trucks will be usable for 10 years like the old IH 9400s I see yellow still uses or ABF.
