I'm 27 so getting close to 30, so I've got a few years lol. My uncles are in their 50s, they tell me about the same thing. Their cool for a little...
Yeah, we got three 389s just before they changed the dash, our 4th one came with the digital dash. I got to go pick up and drive mine back from...
I think the t680s are the nicest aerodynamic truck. Personally I'd pick a peterbilt 389, kw W900, but fuel mileage, visibility, and turning radius...
My uncle was just told today by a peterbilt salesman that the 389 is being discontinued. Prices are insane, for a 389 with a 500hp/1650tq cummins,...
We've been hearing rumors of that for about the past year. It's about to suck! Starting soon, probably September when the contract renews, FedEx...
My uncle rented one few times for a day or a few days at a time. Small company with like 10 trucks.
Paclease and a volvo dealership have rented trucks to us. Not sure about pricing or anything like that, but worth a call.
In auto mode it would shift at like 1400-1500 and sometimes skip a gear! Which would put it at 1000rpms, so I always used manual mode. It also...
On the 2020 Volvo I drove the pedal had a notch in it for you to put it to the floor. When pushed all the way it would shift at 1800-1900rpm....
I've driven a lot of rental trucks in the last 8 months. They were mostly automatics, the paccar one sucks compared to the ishift. Still would...
A guy my uncle talked to said his iShift went out about a year after he bought it used from a Volvo dealer. He bought a 2014 with 500k miles with...
A guy out of my terminal switched a set of doubles with a team from Georgia, they met in Kentucky. The guy out off my terminal made it another 100...
We have 2 567s with the 500hp/1650 efficiency 10spd with 58in mid roof with air deflectors, they get around 6.2mpg. That's around 75k lbs pulling...
20k is a lot of money, especially how easy getting a cdl is... but I guess if you can't learn you gotta pay the price!
I know of someone who did this in a bad snow/ice storm... didn't end well a few years ago. It started a big pile up, like 30 vehicles. Terrible...
I just looked up the place he was at. Using Google maps was able to find the no truck street and the legal truck route... took less than 5 mins too!
Were you able to put it in gear at a stop without grinding? If so I'd say it's fine.
With the driver shortage they're going to need to allow more trailers, so I figured I'd get ready! [ATTACH]
We have two x15 efficiency trucks, they both have 500hp. No issues yet at about 70,000 miles, no loud vibrations. They are getting about 6.5mpg...
When I was hired about 3 years ago they didn't hire if you had a felony, but they changed a lot of their rules on working there. Good luck!
