Turns out it might have been that the pump didn’t ‘open’ until later. We didn’t realize there were hours of operation. So now we do t know which issue it was. 🤷♀️🤷♂️
Congratulations on the new truck hope you have lots of safe travels and no breake downs. Kevin is like a kid with his first new car lol good luck and be careful
As a DM at a large carrier, I think your videos would be great material for our training folks to use to illustrate how the job is to new drivers and dispatchers alike. Keep on rollin'!
I was thinking about that. Starting with Pre-Trip. And many more to come. I really don’t talk highly of anyone However Kevin is top notch of everything he does. The company he works for is very lucky to have him. Outstanding job Kevin and big congratulations on your new truck. Stay safe and healthy and safe travels
I don't like how they don't have regular gauges anymore. I don't mind the display but I prefer things like speedometer and tach and fuel to be be on a gauge. Also the milage when I have to fuel. Have to wait a sec and turn ignition on to get the miles.
That new truck looks sweet! I'm only an online trucker, so did not realize your company dictates the amount of fuel you get instead of the amount required to actually fill the tank. Keep on trucking!!
Im with you on the reading of the fuel pump display. My eyes just are not what they used to be. Ive been buying DEF at walmart and mixing it with water for spray fertilizer on my lawn.
It's inevitable that when switching trucks the cards are never transferred, no matter what company you drive for it's an issue. Can't count the number of times it happened to me...it's frustrating.
That’s DEF, Diesel Exhaust Fluid. It’s a mix of urea and water that's injected into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to transform harmful emissions into nitrogen and water.
With the truck being brand new and the tanks being almost completely empty you would figure they would have you down for a complete fill up wherever they told you to go to for fuel. Makes you wonder about this whole system of fueling
So glad to hear that you love our videos! Yes! You are right! That occurred to me and that’s why I suddenly swung the camera away. 🤦♀️ Thanks for looking out for us!
Random question, do you have a CB Radio? Did you have it in the Cascadia? As you know T680’s are pre wired with CB antennas. Planning to invest in a CB, but want to know that I’ll be able to use it in a Cascadia.
Yes, yes, and yes. We highly recommend it. There’s videos on our channel on how to install it in the Cascadia. And we heard you can ask the mechanics at the terminals to put it in, but haven’t confirmed that. We think it’s an important piece of safety equipment.
Ike at Bonehead truckers would be proud of you, no flip-flops, PS, nice chain drive wallet. Haven't seen one of those since I worked at Truck Stops in Rochester i n the 60's
First fill with diesel ⛽️ and def lol 😆 we have the same issue in the U.K. with file cards 🙄 If we had screen cleaners at our fuel pumps they’d be stolen in a split second 😩🏴
when i got my truck my fuel card didnt work cause they didnt swith the truck number so when i entered my truck number i had to call fuel dept and have them activate new truck number ...
Kevin they say Loves has the worst diesel in the nation.I was told if you consistently fuel up @ Loves then every 4 weeks run injector cleaner in your tanks.

Been with them for 3 months now and love it so far
We are so glad to hear that!!!! Happy for you!! Thanks for letting us know! Are you OTR? Out of which terminal?
@@TheJoyofTrucking I am on the Shaffer otr side and out Marietta Georgia
The New Truck was thirsty. Kevin is very meticulous and thats his success!
Very smooth of the staff to give you a new truck and not an active fuel card
Glad I never had an issue with my fuel card switching trucks

There’s a lot of calculations that go into the fuel solutions at Crete. Not all companies do this the same way.
Nice looking rig. Can't wait to see some drops, hooks, and backing.
Nice Video
So very happy for you in that spanking new lil’ Red Kenny.
Bless you!
U guys good teachers trucking thank u
👍🤩🤩🤩🥰😃
Happy 4th of July. Enjoy all your videos.
When pulling out the DEF fuel line there was a lot of fuel spilled on the side of the truck and ground. Not good for the environment.
We agree and try to avoid it. But, sometimes it does happen. 😔 The video shows that he did wipe it off the truck.
Is the company going to put a APU on your truck
Good luck with your new truck. Stay safe my friends. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

Congrats on the new truck! Would love to see an updated pay video.
Great video Guys happy travels

What’s the second liquid you put in? The one after the diesel fuel?
DEF. Cleans up the exhaust of diesel engines.
pardon my ignorance. What was that you filled up with the purple cap? you said it was 99% water.
That’s DEF, Diesel Exhaust Fluid. It’s a mix of urea and water that's injected into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to transform harmful emissions into nitrogen and water.
@@TheJoyofTrucking Thanks , be safe
48 gallons of fuel what was the other liquid of are 16 gallons mostly water?
The Cascadia had a front license plate, none on the KW. Gotta straighten out that fuel card!
Smart lookin’ truck!
First trip out and it rains. Nice ride, be safe.❤🎉
How big is your truck fuel tanks?
Awesome video thanks for your time and consideration top team regards from England 🇬🇧🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛
With the truck being brand new and the tanks being almost completely empty you would figure they would have you down for a complete fill up wherever they told you to go to for fuel. Makes you wonder about this whole system of fueling
Didn't check under the hood for fluid levels on the first fuel up?
Love your videos! One recommendation. Don’t show Kevin entering numbers into a pump. Someone could get your PIN # off of the video.
So glad to hear that you love our videos! Yes! You are right! That occurred to me and that’s why I suddenly swung the camera away. 🤦♀️ Thanks for looking out for us!
From the looks of it, Crete has lots of new trucks. Are they assigning them to new drivers as well?
I've known several that have got them. Don't know the criteria, but I bet experience has something to do with it
Just curious does the 5th wheel have grease on it. It looked dry when Kevin was backing under the trailer.
Yes! Brand new and nice…👍
@@TheJoyofTrucking you and Kevin enjoy the new kw . I'm a old retired truck driver close to 50 years of driving.
@@3dprintingaddict203 WOW!!! That’s A LOT of miles!!!! Thank you for all that hauling!!! We are honored that you watch our shenanigans!!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking thankyou I enjoy watching your channel.
Great video. Have a great day and safe trip.😊😊😊😊❤
4.08 a gallon??? What state is that from ????😮
For DEF, not fuel.
What is the fuel milage in the in the new kenny vs the older casey
Nothings worse than Frosty DEF on a new truck! Man you're makin me want to take a trip otr in a brand new truck!!
Why do you have so many gps??
Well looks like you got fuel unlike the title ..
Hi guya3. What's the second pump Kevin did for?
DEF fluid

What’s that truck get about 5.5-6 mpg?
Enjoy a long relaxing ride , or as far as fifty gallons of go - go juce will take you . 😁
He should be getting atleast 7 mpg so 48 Gal X 7 mpg = 336 miles.
Can yall say where ur going n where ur at I drove for Crete n early 2000
Dam only 50 gallons.....should have took fuel out of freightliner. & put in T680.
😆😆😆😆😂🤣👍
New subscriber here I enjoy your videos your husband looks a lot like dr. Steven Greer😊
Def counts towards the shower and drink credits and for total fuel pumped for rewards
@@jarjoobinko hmm my gut be wrong, I do know it counts towards total for month
Dont wash new windshield with that id get my own squeegee
48 gallons - what?? Do they want you to stop every 150 miles to fuel??
They (Crete), should never send you out on the road without a working fuel card. 48gallons is ridiculous. My company was Unlimited.
Is Crete actually that good to be with? Limit on fuel and wrong truck number on the fuel card. Someone seems to be dropping the ball.
Happens everywhere you go. It’s a common occurrence.
Didn't happen where I drove!
First fill with diesel ⛽️ and def lol 😆 we have the same issue in the U.K. with file cards 🙄 If we had screen cleaners at our fuel pumps they’d be stolen in a split second 😩🏴
Hello in U,K, may God bless 😊😊😊
⛽🚚ok 👌👍
🚚⛽️
Name her yet ???
Don't go over on fuel or the desk jockey will be calling
Hopefully your card gets swapped soon.
when i got my truck my fuel card didnt work cause they didnt swith the truck number so when i entered my truck number i had to call fuel dept and have them activate new truck number ...
👍👍👍
Why don’t you need a license plate?
Kevin they say Loves has the worst diesel in the nation.I was told if you consistently fuel up @ Loves then every 4 weeks run injector cleaner in your tanks.
Progressive lenses? 😏
Lol we need to get him a spotlight for when he needs fuel lol
lol thank god u guys are fueling at night😂😂 im sure if anybody was behind yall horn wuda been goin off lol siiike jus talkn shit man..
First
Oh man!!! You crack me up!! Even when we publish at different times you take home the win!!
Only this week I am having time off from work 🇬🇧how knows about week 🤔🤔🤔😅😅
Love the new ride …. It better stay shiny or I’ll be upset 😜😆🤣
In a past video it was noted CRETE only authorizes a wash once every 45 days.
DEF Stands for Democrat fuel
No limit on Democrat fuel
That’s true
@@Thatguy_29 funny 😅
