I think they are the ones going to the dealership to get the new warranty lol.

Is it pre emissions?

Thank you. Older is the way to go for sure.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Maybe. I do 7.5 or better depending on the load and region. Even through the mountains I still get 7 mpg. The cost of the truck and the possibility of a minimal better mpg Is still greater than the cost of an older truck with slightly worse fuel economy.

@@NomadTrucker Its not mine, driving for an O/O in a 2020 T680 just got my best of 9.5 with 16k in the box from Oh to Ms, this after getting a trailer with the side skirts. Most of the older school engines pre emissions are in the 5-6 avg range from what I have read online so your rocking a good avg fro pre em engine. I have an apu as well, Heck just 2 mpg avg diff on 100k miles is 4,500 gals at 3, 4 or 5.00 a gal its crazy. But hey I am not arguing you at all, I am researching and number crunchin for a purchase coming up. Anything I get will be used, not new like the one I am in. I want an old school 379 with a CAT or 60 for all the reasons you mention in the vid...minus the potential for this current Gov to run diesel up high and or pass new laws against all the pre emissions trucks regardless of state...idk...thx for the vid and reply brother.

I personally don't think that they will outlaw all the pre emission trucks because there are so many trucks on the road that would get shut down and we are in a driver shortage already or at least they say we are. My question is, that 9.5, was that what the dash said or is that actual miles to gallons filled? Cats are power houses but they are extremely thirsty. The 12.7 motors are very reliable and even with a hooded truck you can get good fuel mileage. 12.7s are cheaper and easier to maintain/rebuild. Me personally, I would stay away from a cat unless it's something you have to have.

@@NomadTrucker This Admin? the way they shutdown that pipeline on day one, they will probably limit them to farm use only..idk.. Yeah the 9.5 was trip avg from the dash. Like you say to I would prefer the 60 to the cat but depending on the total deal on the truck...gonna be about 6 mo before I am shopping....thx brother.

Sounds like a truck I would go after for sure.

Thank you for watching.

Thanks.

Fld

Thank you.

Yeah, just have to find a company that accepts older trucks or get your own authority. Look into the channel @truckerstyleshawn. He drive an older single axle cab over.

I believe I can do something like that. Stay tuned, I'll start putting something together.

The guy is leased to Landstar. To get “Authority “answers, you need to to find a different channel. I am , myself, in process. Just got the plates few days ago.

Thank you.

@@NomadTrucker its amazing great video I have been thinking the exact same thing for if I get back into trucking,check this out ive been looking at a couple of different sites at used pre eld trucks some rebuilt engines some they will need it done shortly there are some deals I would definitely do and some absolutely no way I'd touch that,look up ohio truck sales they have alot of pre eld trucksthat are used and have already been gone thru for a decent price,and some are head scratches no way I'd touch that.anyway kinda fun way to pass the day and like I said some I'd definitely buy.🙂50-70 thousand for a truck already set up ain't bad especially pre eld and some even have big cats if thats your thing,but for me that 50-70 for a truck already gone thru ain't bad,sure some of them might need cosmetic work but mechanilly sound in my books thats what im going to do if I get back in thx neighbor.👍

@@NomadTrucker there is another site im not sure what to make of it all their trucks have been rebuilt and they have really nice trucks pre eld but once agin your getting away from that vehicle that you own the title on. Oh its called truckmarketplace.com kinda pricy .

Zactly!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yes I did after I started the lease purchase. We sold our house in TN and moved closer so we could pay off the truck and get home more.

Yes you did.

@@NomadTrucker I thought it was you I gave you a shout on the radio but the radio in my truck right now can’t reach over the fast lane😂

Lol I might have had it turned down because I was on the phone with my wife who was in front of me with our camper.

@@NomadTrucker Tenfo you were playing follow the leader right lol

I believe at landstar I'm more of an o/o than anywhere else except for doing everything myself. I have a buddy that is a true o/o and he grossed about 45k more then me in 2020 but my net was about 12k higher then his. Landstar takes care of all the office side of things and honestly I'm happy doing what I'm doing. With them taking care of all the "paperwork" I get to spend more time with my family.

I've never driven a cab over. I've seen some that guys have redone and they look amazing.

@@NomadTrucker yeah I know When this Covid thing ends come to Australia we have cab overs every

That would be an exciting trip. There and Ireland are two places my wife wants to go.

@@NomadTrucker oh awesome I like your truck btw

Where ever you can get the best deal. Usually a private seller will be cheaper and more honest about the truck.

@@NomadTrucker thanks for the information man!! Really looking for a truck similar to yours, the Pickens are really slim as of late. Have a good one!

Save your money. Honestly the best thing you can do is be patient. You can find trucks that need a little work for under 7k.

Start a savings account save $, may take u years but its better to pay cash than take a high % loan that will hurt u long term. Drive company for a while and use search engine on truck paper website to get an idea of what truck u want and the usual price range it goes for.

No, PLEASE stay away from a new truck. 2 many issues wit a new truck. Save your money 💰 & find a older truck.

When you do have ur $ together consider an aerodynamic pre emissions truck that's 2007 and older with a manual. This combination usually equals the lowest cost of operation. Freightliner Columbia's and centuries usually fit this mold. If ur truck must be ELD compliant get a truck year 2000 or newer. Research ur engines, oils, fuels, rear end set ups, and historic problems your potential truck has.

@@west2401 thanks for the info 👍
