    Jay I know your a new driver let me tell you , you can pick up a trailer from the side angles he wasn't trying to screw you , and don't ever worry about if someone get pissed because your taking your time to back you will get faster if you want to but I all ways took my time so you're not hitting anything ., take as much time as you need and just be safe out there 38 years over the road 3.5 million miles never had a accident you can do that to

    First time watching your video. Nice work, and remember patience is always the most important thing when you are trucking. It doesn't matter if you have 20 years trucking. Keep doing it the same way you do it now. Because if you relax and don't do your G.O.A.L . That's when you can have accidents. Be safe out there. And welcome to trucking life

    the Freightliner we had at Schneider had a really hot clutch meaning as you were backing if you had to go slowly or do even one pull up it would heat up and set off the alarms. But other than that we liked the Cascadia for the most part. Good luck with the new job and truck.

    Hi Jay, your doing fine to me. Heard you say that you've only been trucks for a yr. My son drives our truck now and when he first started just over 2yr now and I told him take it slow when reversing and if he's not sure get out and have a look. We all have been there. Ho sorry I'm from UK 🇬🇧 bull nose are rare over here ours are cab overs so it's a bit easier for us to get into tighter spaces. Keep up the good work and see you on the next one 👍

    Jay I hope you like GP Transco and hope you did your research into them. The only thing I can really say is out of over 10 years of driving I spent six of those years and a freightliner cascadia and they turn much sharper than the Kenworth t680s do and also when you are making a U-turn anywhere especially back into a loading dock or a spot for your trailer or whatever it be always make a U-turn counterclockwise to the left going to the right you pull your airlines super super tight and you risk them breaking off the trailer. I left CFI back in September when transport America became CFI dedicated and then I quit them and it wasn't 2 days later they became TA dedicated so too many name changes too many not so good things we're going on and I can fully understand you leaving I hope that GP trans goes better for you and works out way better safe travels

  • @truckertim2958
    @truckertim2958 Жыл бұрын

    Next time you back into a spot. Stay closer to the trailers you are backing next to. That will prevent you having to jack knife the trailer in a spot and getting to close to the trailers in the dock doors.

    Everyone is switching to this company. IDK if you know another KZreadr that is named "Alex" He works for this trucking company and has been doing his vlog off of this company and about trucking. You two should link up and get to know each other since you two are KZreadrs and work for the same company. If you don't know him, you can catch him there. Idk where and what terminal he's based from but. It'll be nice for two KZreadrs in one company. And at a young age too. Big Mahalo bradda for sharing since your old company. I see you growing in your channel as well. Keep it up and stay safe trucking on these roads Aloha! 🤙🏼

    I've driven both, also drove International 9400 Eagle, horrible truck. But it was very old, way past its prime, so. Then a KW cant remember the model. I dont think they make it anymore. Very narrow hood, not much room between the seat and shifter. Had numerous electrical issues. Then a Volvo VNL 780, now this truck was a joy to drive. Extremely comfortable, tons of storage, very quiet smooth riding truck. But when it broke down could be a bitach to deal with. Then a KW T-680. Over all a fairly good truck. The Frieghtshaker not comfortable to me, but durable and reliable and maneuverable
