Hi Bob.. nice tour.. that stupid frig up top ? ..that's bassbackwards should be down below bottom.. 1:21 not uptop..plus it looks be overhanging frt edge.. omg.. screwed up.. and small frig sucks.. plus they leak out water when need defrosting.... Bed is so wide 0:59 ..have narrow lil closet 1:38 space under microwave spot there... if hadnormal width bed prob put good size frig/frzr under the microwave. rght? not need queen size bed in cab.. too wide wasted space. ..best has lots of nicewindows in back, above moon roof, frt r pass door... but... do Tdrivers like those windows or are they not needed.. easier to break in etc?
Is it really that bad seeing w sidemirrors 0:30 .. looks kind a ok to get view of out back rear ? That would be def bad w a trailer hooked up... mirrors look small short cheap too.. would expect nice big long ones on a brand new '21 389 Pbilt. not aTrucker.. so i dunno.
Look how diff on 567 Pbilt it's got 11:01 special frt round mirrors tilted down so u can see over nose and the frt bumper... ( kinda look stupid but maybe useful) ... but 389 longnose got nothing like that and need it more. Did they design the 567 after the 389 ? ( try correct their mistakes?) Yeh those exh stacks so big must get in way of sidemirrors be able see trailer backing up... stupid desugn.. if ask me.. but not a Trucker.
Great truck. Length of the hood will not be a problem, unless you do a lot city driving. Watch Super Trucker Dan to get a driver’s take on the difference between a “hood” and an aero truck and the Paccar engine. All the best with your decision. Blessings
I was wondering, are you still working for Roehl? Peterbilt is a good choice. I put a application for Roehl and a recruiter already contact me, but I am waiting to see what is going to happen in my job after November 1st. I have been working for Chicago Transit Authority for 20 years as a bus operator, but the city is mandating the vaccine and I don't want the jab. so I'm looking forward to join the trucking industries.
I don't think the trucking industry is exempt from the mandate is it? I don't know. No, I bought a truck last February and leased it onto a hazmat carrier. I still run 48 states OTR but make lots more than I ever did.
@@BullseyeBob Are you still working for Roehl? I'm doing a research on a few companies that I have in mind like Roehl, Schneider, CFI or TMC. And all this companies are not mandating when I ask, I hope they don't change their minds.
@@BullseyeBob You need to make an update video. About your truck, exactly what you are doing (leased on with a company or just using the load boards, etc...)
Good video Bob. Nice truck. But if you can't see, you can't see. A no for me. Your eyes in the video say "not for me ". Good seein' ya again. Stay safe.
Nothing nicer than trying out new equipment. I think I'd prefer the 567, love that black and the sloped hood. I'd like to see that one on test too. Next time,..tell us ( me ) what engine you have and horsepower too, please.
For sure I'll do a nicer video for the next test drive. I actually didn't have any plan on doing a video, I just happened upon the dealership with some extra time on my hands.
@@BullseyeBob I did that in car and truck dealerships a few years ago,... and invariably I'd end up with a new car or truck. Hey, I suspect Bob, that the Dealers know this too! Enjoy the drive!
I've been gone from Roehl for a few months now. Still need to make a video on that. Was nothing negative.....just family situation where I needed to be home more frequently and more days at home, and Roehl had nothing in my area to accommodate such a schedule.
Was your overall experience with Roehl positive? I've read they can help you become an owner/operator, so I'm interested to know if they helped or if you accomplished it a different way.

not aTrucker.. so i dunno.
Yes cabspace upfront looks really narrow.. 0:44 seems it would feel crowded be jammed up esp if teamdriving w guy in pass seat.. less space.

Why how is manual shifter pattern so diff on this 389 Pbilt than what yur used to ?
It looks pretty smooth easy watchn you drive.
Good Luck !
Tha main difference is you don't shift from 5th to 6th on an 18 spd.
Thanks for a tour of the modern semi. I've always wondered what they look like when I see those sleepers.

Do you recommend me starting with Roehl.i graduated trucking school on December 8 of 22
Roehl is as good a carrier as any to start with.

@@cintroneric No I don't work at Roehl.....I own a truck now and I haul hazmat.
You still with Roehl? I've not seen you post a trucking video in quite a while.
No Sir, I left after a year. I own my truck now....still OTR but doing dry van and lots better money.
@@BullseyeBob You need to make an update video. About your truck, exactly what you are doing (leased on with a company or just using the load boards, etc...)
@@BullseyeBob You motivated me to apply for Roehl and now you’re gone from there! 😢
The exhaust is definitely better behind the cab. Not so easy to do with a sleeper. Best of everything to you on your endeavor.
Good video Bob. Nice truck. But if you can't see, you can't see. A no for me. Your eyes in the video say "not for me ". Good seein' ya again. Stay safe.
Yeah.....my preference is to see right in front of the truck, not just way ahead of it.
Do they all have a manual transmission?
No. You can get an automated in these if you want.

too! Enjoy the drive!
Bob are you going to buy your own truck and go out on your own?
Peterbuilt is the best the cream of the crop you will love it
was that a Paccar Engine or a Cummins? I know both are available in that truck.
I don't know as I didn't look under the hood. Next time I will.
you still trucking?
Yes......I own a truck now.
My favorite is volvo, they seem to ride better
I drive a 2016 Volvo right now.....amazing truck!
@@BullseyeBob concerned about the Volvo. Seems to have many problems sooner than most. Just my $0.02.
Wow😄👍
Get a new Cascadia from Riverstates in Wi-145,000$ you will get at least 2mpg better mileage,better ergonomics,better comfort,better realability.
I had four Cascadias as a company driver.....I dont want one for my own truck.
You get what you pay for
Are you still with rohl or going out on your own
I've been gone from Roehl for a few months now. Still need to make a video on that. Was nothing negative.....just family situation where I needed to be home more frequently and more days at home, and Roehl had nothing in my area to accommodate such a schedule.
