I agree with you 100 percent and your right my friend , it should be between you and your family my friend. I am a 310TS truck mechanic from Canada. You need to make money and it is tough to make money with a hood truck today. It is all about being profitable and love your Videos, if you have technical questions let me know driver!!!
Khori… it is your business and decision what you buy, personally I just love a hood, you buy what is best for you and your family. Ignore these nay sayers, most are just jealous that they are not able to do what you do.
Those people trying to tell you how to run your business are probably stuck at a truck stop behind their company 62mph truck only running 1200mi a week and hating life. Do what's best for you Khori
People who talk crap because you do what’s best for your business and your family, obviously don’t have any business experience themselves. You’ve ran the numbers, shared the numbers, what else do they want? It’s your life, don’t apologize and don’t let them make you unhappy making videos.
I own 2 (hood trucks) I’m happy with them I make plenty of money too feed my family.. But I understand why your going with new trucks aerodynamic fuel efficiency.. etc it’s all about how you want to run your business that matters … good luck hopefully I see you out in the road one day brother
Don’t know what motor your new truck has but I have a x15 Cummins and haven’t had any problems with it I got it new and it has 270,xxx miles. Good luck hope everything works out.
I own a old and new pete two custom rigs I already have a TH-cam 3 POV videos of driving my custom cabover and my other rig soon need a computer 💻 to edit them people don’t complain about my rigs some not all just F them F the haters more likey they don’t know about what trucking is!
Once a guy sees on paper the money being left on the table in fuel cost, the plastic truck wins. Personally, Id go with a pre emissions 900L with a 12.7 Detroit and run 3:55s or something like that with a 13 or 18 speed if you want to run a hood truck. I love 379s too but they're too blocky, the 900L has a little bit of arrow dynamics to it and it gets better fuel mileage
Never understood the whole elog argument. An electronic log and a paper log are nothing more than a way log and track your hours. No matter which one you use the hours of service are the exact same. You are allowed to drive 11 and work 14 regardless of which method (paper or electronic) you use. Personally I fell the elog is so much easier and efficient than paper. For those who want paper so they can run illegal, the fact of the matter is you can run illegal on either and if you get caught that's on you. What I will say is that if you want to run paper bc you think it will be easier to run illegal and you need to work more 70 hours in a week you need to reevaluate how you're running your business. If have to work more than 70 hours in a week to make a profit, you shouldn't be in business and should probably find another line of work.
Hey Kori I agree with you statements. I have told u a few times not to let people tell you stuff. Opinions r like butt holes everyone has 1. Lol. Good luck to u.
Man handle your business l never seen a receiver ask me did you bring it in a Pete definitely haven’t had a broker pay me more because I drive a hood at the end of the day it’s the bottom line I still have my first Freightliner still making money
Don’t you love it. People who don’t even own much less drive a truck telling you how to spend your money. I had a punk on TH-cam give me a rash of sh&t about running a 94 379. Granted the truck isn’t a huge money maker but I’m semi retired, I do it more to get out of the house. I have pride in my old truck. Yes it’s too long and yes it has a black smoking problem and yes I spend too much on shiny stuff and yes I only work when I feel like it, but I’m not in debt to anyone and it’s not really a business for me. Tell the haters to kiss your butt. Have a good one.
It’s your business and the best thing about business. Is you get to run it the way you want to. Good luck with the new ride. Funny thing I actually was looking at your truck Levi on truck paper. Then found your channel on YT because of the stealing wheel. 😂
I appreciate that but I don’t have Levi on truck paper….YET lol. Just wanna let you know in case you go look at it in person thinking it’s mine lol. And, yes, the infamous steering wheel 🤣. Just to be clear, whoever buys the truck gets a free extra steering wheel 🤣. I just never got around to getting the proper adapter for it to fit Levi lol
80 or 90 percent of people don't want to see somebody succeed, and throwing away money is always bad business so if a truck can save money you better do it to save money for later. I love old school trucks but the fuel is your biggest expense
@@davidhershberger3910 no problem. Yes sir, asking 72,500. Has 600k on rebuild with paperwork. 18 speed was rebuilt about 525-550k ago with paperwork. At least one newer rear end with paperwork. 3:25 rears. Acert 500 cat. New kingpins with steers replaced at time of king pins, maybe 10k miles ago. Recently fully balanced driveline with all new u joints and one new yoke. Drives are at 40-50%. American class interior. Working fridge. Just put in new batteries with zero miles driven on it since. New door lock cylinders with matching new ignition so you just need the one key from the doors to the ignition. Overhead recently done when cylinder 5 injector was replaced. Basically no expense was spared on the truck. If it needed it, it got it. Also a green APU installed back in September. Green APU is still under warranty for another 2k hours or 1.5 years. Very solid truck.
Stay with the times... Guys get so stuck on the past and what WAS... they don't see what IS. You have to keep with the day and age. You don't see the big, SUCCESSFUL fleets buying OLD iron. Think about it. Could you compete with a B-model triplex today? Great to look at, not great to feed your family. Times change, either change with them or become a relic like the 379. (and I love hoods... to LOOK AT!) Let someone else drive em! Follow your own star. I'm rooting for you.
One should be able to if wanting drive 5 hours take a 5 hour nap then drive another 5 and then based on wording you have only worked 10 hours in a 24 hour period
Don't tell me emissions never got better it's always going to have problems with it in plain English Mission trucks I wouldn't have in my sleep I've been driving for over 14 years for a little bit over 14 to 15 years and this is the worst I've seen trucks on I've seen more of these new Peterbilt and Kenworth and Volvo's on the side the highway sitting there with her Hood up 379 them a good reliable trucks then you can still work on the highway old-school not new school old school
You buy a new truck now these days and you think you're getting a good truck and when you get ahold of a damn bill 16,000 for a Detroit one box or any truck you'll be wishing you kept that Peterbilt 379 for them reliable damn trucks I have to go back to school every year now and learn how to work on these new trucks because I'm a flea donor and I got to have new truck sometimes six months out of the year I'm back in school I means twice a year I go back three months every 3 months out of the year just to learn how to work on these and you can't work on these these new trucks on side the road they got to be on the computer now the older ones they're reliable Anatomy them emissions when you get a high price pill they use was inspecting it when you get one for a 25 $30,000 in Parts Plus labor that's when people learn the new amuchi trucks ain't worth the den and they don't have horsepower pool
The only person I listen to about my trucking business is my father. Why, well he owns half the business so I kinda half to lmfao but in all honesty he’s been driving for over forty years has had to restart a few times so he’s knows what’s good and bad. Other then that it’s just opinions dude.

Your words are true keep on trucking screw the haters
That’s funny people think their opinions matter😂😂😂 it’s your truck it’s your business you do as you wish. Some people just can’t be reached Khori👍👍👍

If you listen to what other people say, you are no longer working for yourself... You're working for them.
Khori you have to do what’s best for you, if you tried to run the lives of the hater they would lose their shit.
WithOut Truckers EveryThing STOPS!
Support Truck Drivers!
F** The haters they just don’t know about business or trucking there’s haters everywhere
I own a old and new pete two custom rigs I already have a TH-cam 3 POV videos of driving my custom cabover and my other rig soon need a computer 💻 to edit them people don’t complain about my rigs some not all just F them F the haters more likey they don’t know about what trucking is!
That’s a beautiful cabover in your avatar there! I’ll have to check your channel out!
@@survivetothrive21thanks
Rant away. You do whats good for you and your family. People are whacked. You are a hard worker providing for your family.
Keep doing you brother! What works for you may not work for others. Be safe and I hope you have a successful year bud! I enjoy your honesty
We gonna run to same thing with Electric trucks. A lot of people don’t like changes. Humans are accustomed to same thing everyday. Do you sir…
Well said...and funny 😄👍
Kori you do what you need to do

All the best khori keep making the videos love the voice when you speed it up 😂😂 🏴
Good luck with your new truck 😀💪✅🙏👌
Keep up the good work, Your, running your business just fine.
well opinions do vary. but in the end you pay the bills
The biggest problem with catalytic convertors is people steal them and then the owner has to buy another one.
Today that’s definitely true. I see it multiple times a day on my Toyota Tundra forums bc it’s such an easily accessible converter.

@Survive To Thrive Thank-you. I've seen many of your videos and figured you would fix what was needed.
I wonder how many people ran into that guardrail at 2:25 haha
Seems like every time I go home, there’s more cones and a new break in it 🤣

I absolutely agree with this. But the suits in government are too ignorant to understand this.
Back in the 70s you could then they changed up the ruling

Is that right. Hm
Y didn’t the truck sales take the 379
What truck sales? I didn’t even try trading it bc I understand trade value isn’t anywhere near the same as selling it yourself.
U big crybaby 😢😂 👻
Soon he gonna sell the rig just shut up hater
Why u here in the first place
I mean…okay
At the same time a lot of people thought you it was a good idea to buy the 379 and a bad idea to get the Paccar
And those folks are more than welcome to buy my 379.
