Here is the recording from our Facebook Live truck tour of the 2020 Freightliner model featuring our Freightliner reps Jeff and Brad. Comment below with any questions.
I am dying laughing. I have 2019 and just saw pullout workstation in this video. Because of this video.....I just found my own pull out workstation. This is life changing haha.
Im not sure about this truck but I have 2020 Freightliner... It does have the top bunk vents but they're hidden in the cabinets... From the angle I seen you wouldn't be able to see them... But I'm only 9:55 into the video... Unless they say there's not any later I will fix this post
Great video Prime, as always. Love the FREIGHTLINERS, hope Prime never stop using these trucks, just need chrome and possibly more lights 😁😁👍👍 love the video though. Thank you Prime
Everyone has different standards as to what is good pay or not. I've seen some people say yup I'm out all week and $1700 is great money. That for me out all week would have to at least double....... To each there own and I wish every driver good luck and be safe PLEASE!!!!
Keith. S thanks for watching and the feedback! We wanted to show a base model so drivers knew what comes standard. We might try to get a driver witg upgrades to give us a tour in the future!
Nice videos, fun to se what kind of trucks you got in US. Has been a dream to drive in America , but hard to get a Green Card for me from Sweden. Been driving here for 25years a foresttruck. Hope to se a light weight truck video soon :)
Do you guys not provide a appliance reimbursement program since the trucks come striped? My company gives employees a balance amount to buy their own tools when we don't supply a standard set, they just provide receipts and proof of purchased tools to get reimbursed.
My company disables the engine idle optimize feature and on my 2019 cascadia I've gone thru 7 sets of batteries. I need the correct code to enable this feature at a freightliner please
APU's save the company money by providing heat or air conditioning to the driver without having to run the truck engine. Automatic transmissions perform better than manuals and allow for more MPG. To those of you knocking Prime for not ordering these trucks with refrigerators what benefit would they gain from that? It is purely an expense and you're not going to see very many mega carriers sign up for something that doesn't save them money
OMG where is the desk drawer? Celadon is going to make me give up my 2015 International. I don't see the storage space above the bottom bunk. Instead of the microwave straps being on top of the refrigerator/desk area, the microwave has been raised giving me a smaller pantry. This truck has a very little cabinet space compared to what I have now. This thing is going to suck to live in.
Hello! The inverter is an aftermarket addition, not a Freightliner part. According to our guys in Fleet Maintenance, it depends how many watts the fridge/microwave is pulling. Our standard inverters are 1500w and 3000w peak. The inverter does not specify how long the inverter will handle peak voltage, but we imagine not for long. Thanks for the interest!
Question I know a Lease drive get 2020 Freightliner cascadia. What about company driver? If a person come in prime inc drive a company drive do day get a 2020 freightliner cascadia. Or day day got to be lease drive.
Mark Smus the biggest difference is the weight/size. The lightweight truck is smaller and designed for one driver. It allows the customer to put up to 7000 more lbs in the trailer since the truck is lighter. The lightweight truck only has one bed.
What’s the cost of a new 2020 Freightliner outright (not as a lease operator)? What’s the cost of a new 2019 Freightliner outright (not as a lease operator)? Because I need to purchase a new FC (as an owner operator, my budget is $100,00). Please provide good website links and/or information/contact-information. Thanks. 🙂
Bro you are so right! A stripped down truck i mean whats the point! And prime wants you to stay over the road for as long as possible but want even give you a fridge just sad!
I’m getting ready to switch out from a lightweight into a condo next week and was wondering where is the tv mount? Do you guys sell them in the store and do you guys instal them?
Great question, Chris! Yes, you can buy a TV mount from the company store and the detail shop will install it. Feel free to reach out to Success Leasing at 800-491-1240 if you have more questions.
I am done with training any opinions on buying a new truck or buying a used? I can’t seem to decide. These new freight liners are just amazing. And lease or buy to own?
timothy Alvarado we typically suggest to run as a company driver for 6 months to a year before jumping into a lease, but it's ultimately your option. Definitely take the Slingshot class and ACE 2!
Freightliners are made in Mexico it’s not American made trucks because Iaai directly pick them up from the border and deliver them to the dealer so that tells you it’s not American made trucks western star is the same thing international is the same thing
Chris Alteria we have full-size and lightweight Freightliner as well as full-size International and Peterbilt trucks for both company and lease drivers. We will be doing a lightweight Freightliner truck in the near future.
Hi Jeff. We do offer team driving! If you're interested, you can apply online now at www.primeinc.com/?r=youtube, or give our recruiters a call at 888-664-9121.
I don’t know who you guys think you are but freightliner is not American made trucks maybe you guys need to look further to buy a better truck like Kenworth and Peterbilt
Could Freightliner please figure out a way. To get their trucks to stop queefing. They also creak like an old house. Just saying your trucks sound broken, all the time. Or did ya simply stop caring? Just saying your trucks sound weird, especially the Automatics. I'd rather sit all night. Next to a driver with both his APU and Reefer running. Than listen to one of your truck go backwards.
The original video for UA-cam was accidentally deleted. Trust us...wish we could undo it. It was better quality and resolution. This is the copy of video from our Facebook version. Sorry!
Yup... I enjoy it. Me and my codriver both have been to prison so we know exactly how to live in these conditions. And staying out of eachothers way and not talk so dam much. CellLivingOnWhells for the remainder of my life Making good money
Sam Vega brother that is a great out come on life man... i hope everything you desire and work hard for you get it!!!! I speak success great health and wealth to you..
And STILL no A/C vent for the poor guy in the upper bunk? A cupholder on the floor to trip over? How do designers get such basic features so wrong in 2020? This is why Daimler products are garbage.
It's garbage. Horrible design, no storage, giant, plastic box blocking entire upper center windshield. Mirrors are set in the plastic cannot adjust properly
I am dying laughing. I have 2019 and just saw pullout workstation in this video. Because of this video.....I just found my own pull out workstation. This is life changing haha.
Not enough drivers use a CB , it can really get you out of a jam AND it is very good tool for safety (avoiding winter weather pile-ups)...
From the retired driver another informative video you do a great job showing these trucks I really like them!
Don Woods thanks for the positive feedback!!
Prime need to start order these trucks with LED Headlights as Standard.
Prime needs to order higher CPM
I tune in for Andrea
Shoutout from TAT Express out of Hutchins, TX
Freigtliner is smart to omit the fridge cabinet. Saves money and allows for bigger fridges.
Tom Herron glad you like that!! Thanks for watching our video Tom
Thats a prime request to Freightliner.
No AC vent on the top bunk!! It’s like an oven up here wow smart!!
Im not sure about this truck but I have 2020 Freightliner... It does have the top bunk vents but they're hidden in the cabinets... From the angle I seen you wouldn't be able to see them... But I'm only 9:55 into the video... Unless they say there's not any later I will fix this post

Thanks for watching our video!
You guys should show one with a table set up. I like the couch personally you got a lot more room.
Keith. S thanks for watching and the feedback! We wanted to show a base model so drivers knew what comes standard. We might try to get a driver witg upgrades to give us a tour in the future!
Western star is better 👌
What about the window leaks
No fridge=cheaper for the company, not the drivers.
My company just gave me a Freightliner 2020 with a fridge built into the cabinetry.
Nothing much has changed... it's literally the same as the 2019.. they just regurgitated it and put it as "New 2020"
There fuckin idiots
Nice videos, fun to se what kind of trucks you got in US. Has been a dream to drive in America , but hard to get a Green Card for me from Sweden. Been driving here for 25years a foresttruck. Hope to se a light weight truck video soon :)
CB radio are still needed, it is one of the best ways to know what's going on in front of you....
Thanks for your feedback, and for watching our video!
No fridge. Instantly tells you what Prime thinks of it's drivers.
As a driver of a 19, I wish these had the writing surface with the small drawer underneath like the older version
prime you should have L.E.D. headlights standard in specifications.
Ron King thanks for watching and for the feedback!
The blue and black colors are nice, wish they had a charcoal gray color
We have so many different colors of Freightliners in our fleet! Check out current inventory (updates almost daily): successleasing.com/inventory/.
He might has driven a lot of miles! Knows how to operate everything perfectly
Thanks for watching!
Do you guys not provide a appliance reimbursement program since the trucks come striped? My company gives employees a balance amount to buy their own tools when we don't supply a standard set, they just provide receipts and proof of purchased tools to get reimbursed.
My son drives for Werner Enterprises and these are the trucks they use. 👍🏻 nice. I love the blue
My company disables the engine idle optimize feature and on my 2019 cascadia I've gone thru 7 sets of batteries. I need the correct code to enable this feature at a freightliner please
That is a stripped down Freight-Shaker. Bad for teams.
Why bad for teams?
APU's save the company money by providing heat or air conditioning to the driver without having to run the truck engine. Automatic transmissions perform better than manuals and allow for more MPG. To those of you knocking Prime for not ordering these trucks with refrigerators what benefit would they gain from that?

You would think that a dealership sales rep that sales 150-200 units a month would have less " I don't knows" in his answer book.
Can I make a video with andrea?
What microwave runs on a 12v
Why doesn’t prime get the Freightliner with the drivers lounge?
Can you get the truck set up with dual tires instead of the super single set up
De' Angelo Craft our Prime fleet trucks all have super singles.
OMG where is the desk drawer? Celadon is going to make me give up my 2015 International. I don't see the storage space above the bottom bunk. Instead of the microwave straps being on top of the refrigerator/desk area, the microwave has been raised giving me a smaller pantry.

Can the inverter power a 1000 watt microwave and a refrigerator.
Hello! The inverter is an aftermarket addition, not a Freightliner part. According to our guys in Fleet Maintenance, it depends how many watts the fridge/microwave is pulling. Our standard inverters are 1500w and 3000w peak. The inverter does not specify how long the inverter will handle peak voltage, but we imagine not for long. Thanks for the interest!
Question I know a Lease drive get 2020 Freightliner cascadia. What about company driver? If a person come in prime inc drive a company drive do day get a 2020 freightliner cascadia. Or day day got to be lease drive.
Where are the APU A/C components and the bunk heater installed with the driver's loft option and how much space does it occupy?
Can anyone help me out and help me with how to get the 12 volt plugs to work?
what is the difference between a light weight truck and a full sized truck
Mark Smus the biggest difference is the weight/size. The lightweight truck is smaller and designed for one driver. It allows the customer to put up to 7000 more lbs in the trailer since the truck is lighter. The lightweight truck only has one bed.
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING too bad you drivers get paid by the mile , not the pound.
I love the 2015 one but i hate def/dpf they just brake down all the time. I just don’t get why the government requires it.
Ty ..how can I order the swivel seat...it wasn't an option when I ordered..
What’s the cost of a new 2020 Freightliner outright (not as a lease operator)?
What’s the cost of a new 2019 Freightliner outright (not as a lease operator)?
Because I need to purchase a new FC (as an owner operator, my budget is $100,00). Please provide good website links and/or information/contact-information. Thanks. 🙂
That is sucked up truck, that you have to provide everything as a driver, I wouldn’t want to drive for prime
Elvir Hadzic to each their own. Glad to hear you are happy where you are! ☺️
Bro you are so right! A stripped down truck i mean whats the point! And prime wants you to stay over the road for as long as possible but want even give you a fridge just sad!
Why do all Freightliners leak water over the dash! Too much money for this to keep happening year after year! 🤬🤬🤬
Does prime offer manual transmission trucks?
Our fleet consists of automatic transmissions only
I’m getting ready to switch out from a lightweight into a condo next week and was wondering where is the tv mount? Do you guys sell them in the store and do you guys instal them?
Great question, Chris! Yes, you can buy a TV mount from the company store and the detail shop will install it. Feel free to reach out to Success Leasing at 800-491-1240 if you have more questions.

timothy Alvarado we typically suggest to run as a company driver for 6 months to a year before jumping into a lease, but it's ultimately your option. Definitely take the Slingshot class and ACE 2!
Is there navigating on the dash?
That would be a question for Success Leasing. Feel free to reach out to them at 800-491-1240.
can I order this truck with a refrigerator in from the factory
Is there a manual transmission option?
Our standard fleet is 100% automatic. Thanks for the question!
What's the Wi-Fi like in the trucks?
I love that Freightliner cascadia and how much does it cost
You can check out inventory (which changes daily/weekly) and leasing costs on this page: successleasing.com/inventory/.
Do company drivers get this truck?
Which trucking company are great to work ?
Prime
CR England
Central Refrigerated
Central Refrigerated is owned by Swift
Freightliners are made in Mexico it’s not American made trucks because Iaai directly pick them up from the border and deliver them to the dealer so that tells you it’s not American made trucks western star is the same thing international is the same thing
Thanks for watching our video!
Pretty much is a 2019 same thing more expensive get a Kenworth instead more smooth ride more powerful engine and refrigerator included on base models
How and where is the engine brake and can you do a video on the operating of that
It's on the shift lever.
Can you do a tour of a company truck
Chris Alteria we have full-size and lightweight Freightliner as well as full-size International and Peterbilt trucks for both company and lease drivers. We will be doing a lightweight Freightliner truck in the near future.
is this a Cascadia
Yes it is!
do it comes with a cb
Eric Hill no but you can purchase a CB in the company store at Prime.
DON'T purchase any thing from the company store ----you will pay a 1000% markup.
Question, where is the gear shift located on this truck?
It's an automatic,on the right of the steering column
do it come with the load bars
4:04 lie! Thing breakdown all the time. The older models were more reliable.

. Me gustaría q para suramericana fuera en español gracias
I don’t know who you guys think you are but freightliner is not American made trucks maybe you guys need to look further to buy a better truck like Kenworth and Peterbilt
Thanks for watching our video!
Amazingly basic truck compared to my company freightliner
Really, there are no “beast” trucks at Prime. Maybe trucks that move at the speed of a turtle..lol
This is not actually the 2020 model. That model has big screen installed, no more gauges its going to be all digital screens.
“Drives like my gmc pickup” sure it does🙄 if that’s true you need a new truck
Could Freightliner please figure out a way. To get their trucks to stop queefing. They also creak like an old house. Just saying your trucks sound broken, all the time. Or did ya simply stop caring? Just saying your trucks sound weird, especially the Automatics. I'd rather sit all night. Next to a driver with both his APU and Reefer running. Than listen to one of your truck go backwards.
Do they still make Plasma TVs? Lol
That truck was definitely a "fleet spec" very basic,,, at least add upgrades to the seats.....
Just got my 2020 cascadia. Worst interior design in any truck I've ever driven. And I started out in a 1992 freightliner cabover.
I bet freightliner forgot to add the AC vent on the top bunk again lmaoo
No truck driver operates a truck without a working CB turned on. Period. If your company was reputable, you’d fire morons who don’t use them. Period.
I hate fake sentiment.
Seriously 360P? WTF???
The original video for UA-cam was accidentally deleted. Trust us...wish we could undo it. It was better quality and resolution. This is the copy of video from our Facebook version. Sorry!
@@PRIMEINCTRUCKING Looks like having a NAS for your videos really is a good idea! LOL! Well at least you still have a version of it!
I want to work with this company so bad
Why cant u?
Really why??????
62 is a recipe for disaster
nothing but your jail cell on wheels 18 to life driving and shifting
Yup... I enjoy it. Me and my codriver both have been to prison so we know exactly how to live in these conditions. And staying out of eachothers way and not talk so dam much. CellLivingOnWhells for the remainder of my life Making good money
Sam Vega brother that is a great out come on life man... i hope everything you desire and work hard for you get it!!!! I speak success great health and wealth to you..
No shifting anymore . . .
Z Building... Z for Ztupid
watched both videos new petes and shaker pete by far better truck inside.
And STILL no A/C vent for the poor guy in the upper bunk? A cupholder on the floor to trip over? How do designers get such basic features so wrong in 2020? This is why Daimler products are garbage.
Success lease???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
It's garbage. Horrible design, no storage, giant, plastic box blocking entire upper center windshield. Mirrors are set in the plastic cannot adjust properly
Very poor camera quality! get a 4K camera.
Thanks for the feedback. We're a work in progress here. :)
Chippest package 👎
