Thank you! I've been driving belly-dump with one of these and have not had a break down like all the other drivers in an 01 and we do not get the hours or money that OTR drivers do. Other systems are different as we know, but you gave a great presentation. Chas.
Good, informative video there, Matt. For being the same year as mine, it looks a LOT better than mine does....apparently the people that had it before you took better care of it than mine did.
Funny they look about the same 12 years later. My '17 the only changes are the front storage cubbies are nets not doors, no trolley handle, the ishift with Jake controls on stick next to windshield wipers and the climate control in the rear switched sides and look slightly
where to take a dump? -pull over and shit in the trees, if not idk. buy a bucket lol dirty dishes? -flyin J's restrooms sink? i really dont take alot of dishes just a spoon,fork,bowl, stay in shape? -walk around n excirsie while on break, imnot a trucker though but i have those ideas lol
LOL, even though your remark about a switch being for cappuccinos, you really CAN get a coffee maker on some Volvo trucks installed underneath the center console. Although it sounds like an extravagant option, I think it makes sense. Truckers spend long hours on the road so why not put one in.
man i've been hired by crst but after watching your vids i'm having second thoughts, just might just go to school and get my A cdl that way. The home time sucks I see
How big is your fridge? I’m looking at a VNL670 and have a 3.2 cubic ft fridge. It fits nicely in a ProStar when a cabinet is removed. I’m looking at it for its lighter weight and plus the one I am checking out also has an apu and workstation.
worst thing about being away in the uk anywya ... cant get a truckwash everyday :( and it really annoys me .. so everytime you stop ( if youve been thru rain and its rained and dried up ... just a quick spray on detail product , and tyre black sorts it out without doing the chassis :/ i can deal with toilets ect ect but thats the one thing that really annoys me hahaha ;)
Is driving the 10 or 13 speed manual as hard as it looks? I used to be a driver for a dealership driving 5/6 speed manual civics/accords fine, but I worry about shifting into a wrong gear in a truck and getting stuck on a hill going up that I'll have tough time rolling back. Do these trucks have hill start assist?
keep recording brother, please and thank you. i like the ones where you drive along ways but you kinda narrirate...sp? anyway, do you still love your job now? whats it like so far far into your trucking career?. thanks man. Jason
Driving stick in a truck isnt the same as a car. In a truck the gears aren't synchronized like they are with a car or pickup. if you miss a gear in a truck you have to know what speed each gear is so you put it in the correct gear
liked your video bro have some questions lol were you take a shit when no bathroom,how do you do your dirty dishes,and how you keep in shape cause its important..your pal chad lol
Why do almost all truckers look like they're mad at the world? They never smile, they always put down their company or other companies or drivers. I drove for a while but it just wasn't for me so I quit and I'm glad I did. All you drivers out there have a very Merry Christmas and GET HOME OFTEN. I know thats not always possible but at least try to get home. Your wife and kids need you.
man i like u lol u joke around alot LOL HAHA O by the way im going to drive here in a couple of months im taking a Trucking Course At SouthEast Tech Inst. For My Class "A" CDL any big tips for me. im 19 almost 20 on jan 3rd and i would like a years EXP on the long hauls do im gunna drive state wide first then when im 21 then going CrossCountry :)
You have so much crap in there that if you haul a half full trailer, you'll be overweight. And with all of that crap on the upper bunk, I can see it go flying if you ever have to slam on the breaks.

you should tie down the stuff on the top bed because if you have to make an emergency stop then it'll fly everywhere :P

I see some of them have Inter axle lock, some of them Differential lock. Will be cool if they have combination of both
Funny they look about the same 12 years later. My '17 the only changes are the front storage cubbies are nets not doors, no trolley handle, the ishift with Jake controls on stick next to windshield wipers and the climate control in the rear switched sides and look slightly

Is There Toilets in There ?
Yes, and a jakoozi too
10 speeds are easy, 13 is a little more trickey and hill start assist is for people who cant drive stick
it was a dollar on 6 min4
7 weeks on the road??? Fuck that
hey a dollar! 6:04
why cant america have the euro trucks, they look way better in my opinion
not only look better, i think the technologi is better at the euro-lkw
and the Europeans saying the contrary " why can't have American trucks in Europe "
Tech Defender I actually Want Scania to sell the S cab here in The US
TheSexsar Size. American Roads Are Bigger than EU roads.
This is irrelevant, but you're really cute.
WTF is on the fridge at 7:06 it looks like vomit
They aren't legal.
