Great video, good review. Do you guys have the digital dash? If so have you had any issues with it? And what about the radio, do you have any issues with the digital display on the radio?
Yep we have the digital dash. Nothing major on the dash, it didn’t light up one day but cycled the key and it worked perfectly. The radio is the same garbage they have been putting in the trucks for 10 years or more. We don’t use it since we team mostly. I stick to headsets to listen stuff. We don’t have the touch screen part that came on the premium trucks so we don’t have that freezing and not working as intended. Our prime trucks had that and it never worked right.
One thing I see with landstar is that their trucks and trailers are hardly ever broken down on the side of the road. It is a big company with a lot of trailers. They must use good tires and get a real inspection frequently with problems being fixed immediately.
Hazmat is worth it until there's a problem. One issue could ruin all that you work for. And it could just be an issue that isn't an issue but dot says it is. That's why just a dollar more per mile is not enough. You should be getting twice the amount to haul hazmat. Sure, it's good at a dollar more per mile if nothing ever happens but it is highly regulated for a reason. Consider the cost of if something goes wrong first, then think of what you should accept to haul it. But, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it. I hope everyone who reads this considers it with much thought and contemplation.
The trucks definitely been through some stuff in this first year! I think an out from this industry is important. Will you ever do a live or video on that? Maybe a live with a join option 👀
A video on what we are going to do after trucking ? Possibly once we figure out what path we are going to go down. Priority one is paying off the truck and then the money we were paying for that can be invested .
Here in Ireland all big rig's are limited to 56mph or 90kph and if you go over that and get stopped your license is gone because to go over you took off the limiter and that's there for safety.
Company driver i love this truck roomy comfy nice ride quite cabin. I do have issues all the time maintenance wise only 300k on truck nothing major bunch little stuff but just constant in out shoppe engine light been on past year drives nice tho lol 13 speed Cummings local 300k it's 2017.
Yea I know that’s a huge factor, but the motor feels neutered as well. When I have the title in hand I’ll have it turned up to the highest they will warranty.
@@NoLuckTrucking If it's an automated trans, more than likely it's in the economy shift calibration. Can get that changed without a fuss by a dealership or any independent shop. FASS fuel system is something I'd look into aswell, pairs amazingly well with the X15. The X15 efficiency series is geared towards fuel economy and is a low rpm motor. Would've gone with the productivity series as you get both the performance and efficiency hardware to play with.

@@NoLuckTrucking thanks. Curious because the same company that does the digital radio display (PanaPacific) did the new digital dash.

They make everyone do the yearly DOT inspection every 3 months. Otherwise they can't drive. That probably helps quite a bit

Hello from, Stoneboro Pa. Enjoyed the video
Enjoy the video of the truck review, but will you guys ever do a review of Landstar as your time driving for them?
We did one a while back, it’s time for an updated one. I can do that in a few days
Here in Ireland all big rig's are limited to 56mph or 90kph and if you go over that and get stopped your license is gone because to go over you took off the limiter and that's there for safety.
Wow. Sounds horrible. They want to do that here in the US as well.

keep up the good work ..
Gotta say tires might also be my problem. The rides feels a bit shaky. Also im not sure if it could be the trailer that im pulling as well.
where did you purchase the trucc? jus curiouse because i have a 567 now and love it, might want to buy one with better features and a better seat lol.
Somehow I got same problem one shock went bad!
At least they’re cheap and easy to replace.
What does your tractor weigh by itself and with an empty 53' trailer weigh?
35,900 full of fuel,with the apu , and an empty dry van
What rears, tires and wheels?
Rear gear is 2.85, and we have 22.5 low pros
@@NoLuckTrucking 2.85, now we know the hill climbing issue.
Yea I know that’s a huge factor, but the motor feels neutered as well. When I have the title in hand I’ll have it turned up to the highest they will warranty.

I get 7mpg on my 13 speed driving local flatbed doing otr highway 7.9 ain't all that.
You keep the miles low, you'll have a good trade in
Gonna run this one till the wheels fall off, no trade in planned for it.
@@NoLuckTrucking I've driven 2 million trucks and it get old and expensive
43 day's!!
