Welcome and welcome to you further progress and success

Thank you for the vid ! New thing now in South Africa too and that is to limit trucks . Bad thing here is we are limit to 50 miles (80 km/h) ! Ridicules is an understatement ! Keep it save and congratulations on that beautiful truck.

Thanks Tim! It was very relaxing and much needed.

WS 5700XE is the best looking truck out there hands down. They dress up sweet too. A little light on gauges though. They can keep the auto-trans. Just another thing to go wrong. When it's -20 outside, you don't wonder if she'll go into gear with a manual trans.

Really it's beatiful truck. Congratulation.

Thanks! I like the auto on the highway. Not a huge fan in town though. It tends to be a bit jumpy if you leave it in auto, in town. I just run it in manual when we hit towns.

Hi i would love a update on the trucks reliability pls. If you have had break downs what have they been. In looking at buying a new truck and the 5700 I'd inevof my choices. Thanks a lot

This video is so 😎 cool.

John Fitzpatrick it does very well backing in docks. What I've learned it to use R2 rather than R1. It as smooth as a manual that way. The same goes for backing under a trailer.

Interesting advice. The problem I've had with some trucks is that they drive great forward, but backing up is a nightmare. The Freightliner and International are smooth. Macks jacknife too quickly on me. Peterbuilts are a bit jumpy. My problem with Volvos are the sightlines in the mirrors. With Kenworth 660's, the cab is too tight and narrow for me, while 680's are a lot better. For me, the sightlines in the mirrors are what's important for me. Also, most of my loads go to and from Northern New Jersey, which is a nightmare in itself.

That was the issue with the Prostar we, the cab was to tight. It made it a nightmare for my wife to back safely using the mirrors. The sightline on the 5700 is great. It backs very smooth.

Hi, nic truck (optimus prime) 5700XE** Just wanna know the specs and how is it doing now after you would have driven thousands of miles and more than couple of years in it. Any issues with engine, transmision, def, egr, shocks, alignment, fifthwheel i mean any sort of problem in interior. What's the mileage all combined..

JB hunt is governed at 62 but they just charged it to 65 when the truck goes in for the next B-service they will set the cruise control to 65 but the foot petal will still be at 62. I hate it. I’m looking for another job but at least JB hunt transferred me to North Carolina from Connecticut. Anyways thanx for sharing.

Aron Bronner I don't think I could do 62mph. We've had several job offers and refused them due to low govern speed. I know it's petty, but we look at the mileage loss due to the lower speed.

+Wilberto Escalera we've worked for this company for just over 2 years and we have gotten 4 trucks. The first 2 were 2010 Cascadias. Then we went to a 2015 western star 4900 bit it was a bit much for the wife with the long nose and shallow turn radius. Then about 6 months ago we got a 2015 Prostar. The owner then bought this 2017 a month ago and offered it to us. Of course we we're going to say no. Lol. I think we'll be in this one for a while. :)

How do you feel about the automatic now after some time with it? What disadvantages have you found?

@TruckingwithDoubleDs

6 жыл бұрын

No real disadvantages but the one annoyance would be the computers inability to detect weight and hills. It would up shift to 12th gear when we were trying to pull a 7% grade fully loaded. We would be at 900rpm, just chugging like crazy and it would refuse to download shift. They (western star) definitely needs to work on the computers inabilities.

Hey nice truck, I really like the 5700EX, I just sold my 2013 Cascadia & will be getting a 5700 only mine will be the 68” sleeper. Is it heavy, I’ve heard the WS is a little heavier cause the cab is steel.

I also wanted to make sure your original question was answered so I went and looked. Here is my reply to you a week ago. The answers were given in the video comments of Hello dispatch... We kind of slept in I'm not posting this to prove a point but to assure you that I do answer all question but sometimes the viewers miss the answer. Here is the answer I gave you a week ago to your question on, Hello dispatch... We kind of slept in. I personally think separate cameras are better only because you can place them where you want. I've seen the DEZL and Rand McNally with the built ins, but they're only going to see based on where you mount the GPS. I like my GPS mounted to the dash, rather than the windshield so it wouldn't work for me.

Only thing I noticed is how you smoke with Windows up, it is pretty disgusting guy where you sleep and live? sorry last video I watch.
