      Hello, I've been searching on the internet for the turning radius on the next generation T680. I know from experience that the International LT has the tightest/sharpest turning radius compared to the Freightliner Cascadia but how would you rate the T680's turning radius compared to others you've driven?

    Hello 👋🏽
    First time here, my husband and I just got approved for $800k in the recent Maryland business grant program. I own a clothing brand that I intended to invest my part of the money on, but my husband insist on getting back into his dump truck business and preparing to get a new truck. He has been out for few years and I'm worried if it's a good time for him to startup back. I will appreciate your suggestions on this because this is a one-time life opportunity for us, and we want to make best use of it. Appreciate your reply🙏🏽. I subscribed. ♥

    • @TheJoyofTrucking
      @TheJoyofTrucking Рік тому +6

      Thanks for subscribing! And…Congratulations on receiving a big business grant! We wish you the best with your clothing company. As to your question: We really don’t know. We know equipment is expensive and freight has been down. Many owner operators decided to become company drivers over recent months. But a dump truck is a totally different business from freight. If he had the same business before then your husband must have a feel for that kind of business in your area. A truck is a big investment…so we would say to really work a business plan with realistic numbers. If the grant has to be repaid it’s important to keep that in mind. Good luck with everything! Let us know what you both decide.

    Congrats!! Been with Crete almost 3 weeks. I might be calling it quits though. I like most everything about the company, but I can NOT get used to the Opti Idle! It basically shakes me out of my bunk every time is shuts down. I try to turn the temp up so it doesn't start up as much, but sleeping in Texas heat even at night doesn't help sleep much. I run a fan, but it doesn't help much. I feel soooo tired. The poor equipment at Crete is what kept me away for sooo long. I guess my instincts were correct. The lack of technology is very disappointing as well... Peoplenet is one of the worst I have used, and the Crete app is useless except for scanning bills.

Ours did and they never figured out why it did and it was a 23 and we only had it three hours. But the kw has best dash it tells you everything. I love the shelf’s on the very top.

    Beautiful🚛. I hope you both enjoy your new toy and work horse. I hope the difference between the amenities inside the sleeper don't pose a problem; spacewise. You mentioned that there were less cabinets and you didn't seem too enthused about the refrigerator. The brand, "Kenworth" brings back memories. My father drove tankers for 40 years from 1930 to 1970 and always drove either a Kenworth or a Peterbilt. The jargon of the day was that Kenworths were referred to as KW's and not Kenworths. Now it appears to have changed to "Kenworths". Now, my grandson is driving flatbeds out of Ohio, hauling coils and rods of steel which all exceed the 80,000 lb. limit.

    Enjoy the new truck. Im in an older KW right now. My old truck was a Freightliner and after being in this for a few weeks i have to say, I prefer the Freightliner's more storage to the KW's better ride quality. I want my Freightliner back! 😆

      Yes! It’s a smaller percentage than the Freightliners, but they do have them. Just be sure to keep asking for one! 😉😁 Hope to see you here soon!!!

      Awesome! Yes…we had a table in our 2019 with Werner. That was nice!! Enjoy your 2023!!! We are very happy at Crete!! But realize you might not get a KW. At least not at first. But if that’s not a deal breaker for you we definitely recommend Crete. 😃

    The Kenworth is a nice ride. No more freight shaker. You'll barely feel the pot holes now. Sleeper is claustrophobic. I have a cat and myself in a 2023 Kenworth T680. It's tight. Coolant tank with a coolant hose barely a gravity angle into the coolant tank is a stupid design. These new Kenworths eat alot of coolant and oil. Carry a bunch of coolant and oil. I have to add coolant and oil about every 2 weeks . Have fun and safe travels.
