What's going on? This is Jason from Lexington, KY making a career change from the real estate world to OTR truck driver. I enjoy traveling the country and I hope that you will hit the LIKE & SUBSCRIBE button and follow the journey.
I'm in the middle of switching over my website to make the content more relative at bbnliving.com and would love some suggestions of what you think should be on the site.

I worked for Prime for two hours. They caught me popping wheelies and doing donuts with one of their trucks in the yard.

All I can say is good luck pal.. Lease purchase is never a good thing with any company I've been Trucking 32 years and you couldn't give me a tractor today unless I could sell it tomorrow.. Hell I remember when kllm was the all owner operator Fleet that is until they built up their Fleet got rid of all the owner operators and started lease purchase and Company drivers with those cabover International buses... But everybody's got to start somewhere keep up the good video work best of luck... "Always Broke" (my CB handle)

As long as you keep up on maintenance it should be ok. My truck is a 94. 60 series detroit 11.1. Pulling corn on a hopper bottom. Lightest load yesterday was 94,000. If she blows up just park it and buy another. Theres tons of trucks for less than $10,000. I think my next truck is a kenworth short hood. Got her scouted out. Down side is a cat engine.

Hey Jason, hope your first load went better than expected. Glad your upgrade went well, but I personally would've waited for a Freightliner, I driven all including Internationals, don't like them at all. Hope when I come on board I won't run into that situation where you have to get what Prime gives you.. Be safe out there brother 👍✌️ nice looking truck though 😁

You're telling me you want a Volvo over an international? Definitely a rookie....Volvo is at the absolute bottom of my list. I have a Freightliner Cascadia mid roof, I like it. Our company mostly has Cascadias and international LTS. Few Coronados and pete 579's. Don't think they own a single Volvo company truck. Also pretty damn lucky to get a brand new truck out the gate like that. Ive been with my company 3 years now Im just about to get my first brand new truck. My starter truck had about 60,000 miles on it fresh out of school, I thought I got pretty lucky with that. Enjoy, trucking truly is an amazing job. Nothing like doing your own thing you make your own schedule just get there on time. Has its downs but its also great at the same time. I love it, Will probably do it the rest of my life

Eric M so let me understand this correctly. I’m a rookie because I would prefer something that’s on the bottom of Your list? Thx for watching the video but just FYI I am a rookie and I’m okay 👌🏼 with that

@ericm1430 5 жыл бұрын

95% of drivers would agree. Volvo is the absolute worst truck you can have. It’s the base junk that most fleets operate. International lt is night and day better. If you disagree yes you’re a rookie

@user-uh9lg9wg1d 4 жыл бұрын

We all are only legal for 80,000 lbs gross. Unless your a permit load, oversized or RGN heavy haul etc. Trust us tho. 75 -76 isn’t heavy. Your steers are grossed for 13200 lbs. (12,000) legally. 80,000lbs for that tractor is nothing. Remember your fuel weight. 7.2 lbs per gallon. Just say 8 lbs. save yourself the grief. Quite often I am over 80,000 lbs slightly. ie. 80,500. Google APU exception. Most states allow 450 lbs and some allow 550 lbs. so don’t stress over the weight on that load. Your actually right in the happy spot, any lighter and the wind will get ya

@vegaslimoguy2376 4 жыл бұрын

@@user-uh9lg9wg1d And with the APU exception topping off your tanks wouldnt have made any difference. A few hundred pounds you were saving on fuel would not have helped you at all. They are only going to pop you if you are way over. I crack up everytime i hear a driver say they couldnt fill up all the way, that does not save much weight at all on the truck just a waste of time.
