It’s all in personal preference. The western star has more of a old school feeling. The cascadia is more of a new school truck. You’d hate driving my 1999 Western Star 4964EX. But I love it. She’s old loud and manual. All traits that the modern driver doesn’t appreciate.

Who the hell wants to see the cargo lol... I’m fine with the way your content is. You do everything so well. We see the road in real-time as you’re speaking , we see the truck stops, meals some sights and some local history. Some folks are just greedy and nosy lol. Keep cranking out this good content bro! I love it 😻 can’t hate on a guy for telling the truth and if he’s dissing his own vehicle that’s even more to take notice and listen because he’s telling the truth. A man that will speak up on his own vehicle I will listen to that guy more so than the guy who will cover up because he doesn’t want to down the vehicle he’s driving. Just my opinion.

If. You ever choose to get or review a peterbilt you should do the 389
Hey Rusty! I like the Interior of the Cascadia better too, than on the Western Star that you’re driving. Comfort is all important on a Long-Haul Coast to Coast. I would try some Matts to cover the seat since you seem to be stuck it!
The red WS has the Starlight Stratosphere sleeper cab which is longer than the average WS but the longer the sleeper the harder the turns so the WS you have is better in a way, U can park easy on parking lots unlike the extended version which has a little a slow turning radious. As for your preference on trucks belive me WS grows on you little by little, it's the little details that other trucks lack, you will see this when you change trucks, also the durability on this trucks is legendary, don't take my word for it! you will see it for yourself when you switch. Safe travels and keep on trucking.
I use the little bottle of rain x to treat my windows and then I follow it up with the orange rain x washer fluid. That combo lasts months. Wipe on the rain x solution, let it haze up a bit then buff it off! I also use Bosch Icon wiper blades. I tried rain x blades but they were too noisy
Watching your videos from long time. Absolutely amazing the day to day journey is. Be safe out there God bless you 😇
Love the red eyes in the whole that gave me a lil chuckle I remember you thought something was down there, good vids man
I always enjoy riding along with you and now I'm layed up in the VA Hospital in Augusta Georgia, starting dialysis, it's good to see out rolling again buddy, keep up the good work. I'll catch you up on I-85 n again soon.
Love your videos I drove years ago, GMC Astro and K100. Not too many comfort features but life was sure simpler then. Could run 18 hours straight, no electronic logs. When tired, crawl in the bunk and sleep. California ain't so bad up in the north but SoCal/Ontario is not a pretty place. Be thankful you don't have to go into Los Angeles warehouse district. It was a nightmare back in the 70's and 80's. Running the nickel (5) thru Oregon and Washington is one beautiful ride.
Hello Rusty. Another Classic upload bud your definitely the guy to beat on youtube these days .very interesting videos. I really hope your company give you a Volvo .my favourite truck .be great seen you trucking again with one .God bless you. From across the water 🇮🇪🇮🇪👍
I always love your musical selections for your background music.
Loved these vids from rusty and the honest breakdown on his Westernstar..still want to hear my song, " Its a war zone" not going to stop requesting it bc that's what gives me that rusty vibe on his vids.

At 13:53 you crossed under the bridges for Toll 49! That takes you into Tyler, TX - where I'm from! Pretty cool to see haha.
thanks for the review of the WS! and you are right about a WS vs Cascadia! good job! Stay Safe! Greetings from Argentina!
8:29, those bridges ur crossing under, is supposed to eb a future city loop for big spring
Man those 860’s are massive.. good luck 🤙🏼
Your Truck looks like he was polished,very clean.They done a good Job
When I drove truck (I'm almost 70) I put at least 3 applications of RainX on the windows and mirrors. It isn't until the 3rd time that it really starts to work really well. It's like the raindrops bead up and can't get off the windshield fast enough! Almost got caught up in watching the rain drops instead of the road! I was in a serious downpour, and if you looked through the windshield it seemed like it was barely sprinkling. BUT, put the door window down, and it was another world the way it was coming down. At least 3 applications, and buff with a real soft cloth or buffing rag. Use plain water and a hand squeegy to clean any dust or bugs after using it for awhile. Any serious bug splats, use a razor blade to "shave" the bug off. Should last 3 or 4 weeks. Very nice video, by the way.
Wow 😲 thank you Rusty that video quality is awesome 😎 man

Hello, love your videos. I always loved trucks since “Smokie and the Bandit”. Did the Rain-X work for you? Do you have any secret sauce for keeping you windshield so clean? The routes you drive have to have a lot of flying critters.
RainX spray on the front windshield only works if you Don't use the wipers. I understand some rain is heavier than other, but as soon as you turn your wipers on it rubs it off. Works well on side windows and mirrors. Even headlights..😎😎
Charlotte NC born and spent 60 years there! Was once a great city!
we own a 2020 western star just like yours and its been good to us with no break downs at 50,000 miles. western star and freightliner are the same truck just different cab. I went western star because its not all plastic, gives you more of the home feel with windows and wood grain look, more old school feel.

Find the Michelin windshield wipers. Dunno if these are available in the U.S. but they're the best. Specially if you apply RainX.
Hi there like the video I was a trucker in the uk , now i am a carer , i went to Florida in the 70s but i bet it has changed a lot now.
Enjoyed watching and waiting for more... Keep safe and God bless you and your family...
Another great vid from Rusty!
I always heard back in the day western star was the the Cadillac of trucks, and were Canadian built as well. They were/are still pretty popular in alberta (at least where I'm from) as vocational trucks but very rarely see these 5700s. I like the look of them for a highway truck but I'm more of a long hood truck guy haha
Hey rusty you passed John Christner trucking on day 1 that is the trucking company I want to work for one day when I get my CDL safe travels.
I am a school teacher in the UK. For some reason I can't stop watching your videos. Like, I will never, ever be a trucker in the USA. But I cannot get enough of this.

We should build walls on the highway medians so people can't rubberneck at the opposite direction of traffic that has nothing to do with them.
First of all congratulations on your channel and performance.Providing incredible stuff great knowledge. Mask any idea on CRST company.I have a CDL but no road experience I’m thinking of going to joining them for a few months.I know the pay is horrible but I get experience.Your feedback is important to me so I appreciate and thank you
I really love ur truck videos bro keep up the good work
Whay only way to know the experience of a western star but from the driver of one. I always heard so much positives of the cascadia too.
little trick of mine, clean the windshield and apply carnuba car wax to it, polish it off and watch the water bead/dissapte from your field of vision like nothing. not to mention it makes chattery wipers quiet again.
I don't even have a CDL and I think you would LOVE the VNL860. The only downside I believe is I think 455hp is the max output for the volvo D13 w/ 12 speed i-shift unless you get a cummins x15 but I believe they only allow the x15 to be fitted with a manual.
How do you manage to dodge all the bugs?! Your windscreen is always spotless. That Rain-X must be awesome 😎
You may want to try the Rainex windshield washer solution. I get it at Walmart. It is Orange color and good to -20. It has Rainex in it and it is under $3.00 per gallon.

Hey Rusty, I was wondering how long you could go without getting your ass back into a Volvo! Comfort is another level and the I shift box is way smarter than the Eaton in my experience. I guess if you regularly move valuable/sensitive cargo Eurolines won't want loads of graphics drawing attention to your truck even though it would look cool and promote their brand. Good luck persuading your bosses to get that Volvo 860 for you. Stay safe and keep your distance when passing accidents 😉 those rubber neckers want feeding to the 'gators! 10-4 good buddy.

Who the he'll wants a trashing cheap Volvo. The driver seats don't go back far enough and your always cramped. Plus Evintently you people know knotting about trucks. Why do you think all these companies buy Vvos and Freightliners. Because they are the bottom of the totum poll you idiots. CHEAP CHEAP!!!!!!!! ALONG WITH INTERNATIONAL. .I BEEN OUT HERE IN THIS BUSINESS 44 YRS. THE BEST TRUCK ON THE ROAD IS A KENWORTH ]PLUS IT IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST INTERIOR.
Bro your content is the BEST!
If you get a VNL860. Get the lounge instead of the bottom bunk, that way the bed top bunk is always for sleeping and the seating area table is always there. Would do my head in having to sit, eating, chill and do paperwork on on the bed personally
“Missippissi “😂😂
Hey man I tell you what them center caps where would look cool is my dad on a peterbilt took the center caps off of a Chevrolet rally wheels and they fit right in them holes and they look sharp

@@TheRustyCracker ah ok.. I thought you were doing it yourself.. i noticed a difference in this video from the last one i commented on. I was wondering if it was because of new software that was the reason I asked.. also thanks again for taking a suggestion I offered about the heavy traffic dialogue, I was hoping it would create a nice bit of drama and it looks like it did.. what do you think about some "sound effects" with different traffic/travel scenes. (dont adjust track volume, play with "gain", to make it more of a background feel) those go really good and would have went very will the the hard braking part in this video.. depending on software the editor could have match the horn sound and inserted possibly two audio tracks, jake brake & tire/brake squeal to increase the drama and excitement. I do have one minor thing to constructively criticize, if you are open to it.. I did notice that the transition wipes and opacity were not all the same. i am not sure if that was planned or just kind of happened. Either way I love the quality of your production and your openness to try new things.. again Great Job!! again stay safe at home and on the Road!!
Use Rainex windshield washer anti freeze/cleaner to keep your Rainex treatment fresh and rejuvenated. Another oldster tip for free.
Hi Great video Would be nice to record your trip from Carolina to Florida as well. Stay safe
I agree the visibility sucks in the Western Star. I absolutely love everthing else about it though. Definately one of the more classy trucks. And they back so beautifully!

Sweet home Odessa! This place has gone to shit since I was a kid. You should holler when you roll through here!
I don't drive but have a lot of friend drivers and they all complain about the new Volvos. One owner operator had two Volvos (2019 and 2006ish). He got rid of 2019 due to the ton of problems since new and kept the old one bullet proof.
You would like a KW W900L Quiet Cab with 86” studio sleeper and 8 bag air ride. Not good for short haul or LTL short hops really, but hard to do much better longhaul when you consider things like longevity, resale and support network. I have 30 years behind the wheel, Volvos are nice but have no value anymore after 5 years or so.

The Western Star is a heavy truck, that's why some companies stopped using them.
What kind of windshield mount are you using?
Hello first time i am seeing your vedio really i liked it
I’m currently in a 2020 Peterbilt 579 with the big sleeper and I’m going to be getting into a 2021 Western Star 5700XE with the big sleeper. Why? I miss rowing gears. I hate the automatics to be entirely honest, the turning radius is bad, the Cummins X15 is stupidly loud, and I hate how the switch panel layout is so scattered across the cab. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful to have it, but I think a Western Star is right up my alley. The one I’m getting one has a DD15 with an Eaton 13 speed manual. I’ve watched enough videos about them to know what I’m getting into, including your videos which have been super helpful. The 12V issue doesn’t really bug me, I only use one up front and one in the sleeper. My 579 has 9 12v outlets and 2 USB ports!
hello rusty miller...hope you and family doing well ...my question was FREIGHTLINER OR VOLVO ?? WHICH IS BEST TO BUY ?
what your take on Peterbilt and kenworth? Could you do a review on this truck.
