Hey just a quick tip, when you're low on air like you were at the beginning don't pull your maxis, you dump a fair bit of air when you do that. As long as you're on flat ground just leave it in neutral and build air like you were. Otherwise, when you release brakes again you lose air pressure again charging the lines!
Unless there's some new technology that requires it, it would save you time!
Best of luck out there man.
Alex.... as well as some other young truck drivers ive seen on here constantly pop both their valves all the time and it drives me CRAZY! im 29 and ive only driven for a year and a half almost 2 and thats one of the basic things they teach you in school. its a bad habit to get into especially during winter months because it makes it easier for your brakes to freeze. and when he has to keep readjusting his setup (which is fine! pull up or go around or whatever how many times you need to!) he has to keep stopping to refill his air tanks and people have commented many times telling him and he still does it.
like bro... seriously, what are some of these school teaching these days. like i had to pick up a trailer from another driver from my company and it took an hour because she was out of time and didnt want to drive in violation (AND she couldnt stay at this place overnight) wouldn't listen to me on how to go into PC... she had NO IDEA what personal conveyance even is... had to wait for her to call the company and get them to walk her through it..... she got downagraded out of her truck and back with a trainer.
Truck drivers are meant to stick together but unfortunately they do nothing but bring others down. You dont like this guy then dont watch its that simple.
and those be the old people too
Well said , old or young lots of drivers out there don’t support each other . Hate and ego make all those drivers distant from each other . It’s all survival of the fittest now . Times definitely changed and won’t change.
We are MEN , not little girls
We Break Balls, if a driver breaks your balls then you break back. That's what we do, we do it all day on the CB it's just what we do. We help each other all the time but if you spend as much time on the road like we do that's how we get our entertainment. Be a Man ‼️ BOY‼️
I love it when you succeed.Onya big fellah.
Take the hill assist off when backing up and it won’t “jolt”on you while backing
Traction control isn’t going to stop the jolting. Traction control only cuts power to the wheels when it notices and increase in speed to tires. Like spinning tires on ice or something
Never never leave anything that can get in the way of your brake pedal specially those big ass boots bro trust me that boot gets behind the pedal you ain’t stopping
This School bus driver has a students grapefruit roll under his brake pedal, and when he slammed on the brakes not only did the brakes not fully engage, but the grapefruit got smashed and the juice squirted into his eyes temporarily blinding him. OMG...poor Otto.
Best comment
I saw u on 80 in Illinois u look like your still getting use to the new truck haha but she looks good rolling on the road ! Be safe out there 👍🏼
You've kept all your trucks clean inside. Drivers like you deserve nice equipment.
While riding in a borrowed dump truck with my uncle he remarked "this thing drives like a truck!" He was accustomed to his semi, so I guess if you want to drive big trucks, prepare for a varied experience.
45 degree ally dock is the best 90 degree backing should only be used in certain situations
Turn off the hillstart assist when backing it wont jump backwards on you
Great job Alex. An idea when backing in tight places that has worked for me. Move the trailer tandems to the front so it might help you back into a tight spot. It's a little more work getting off and back on the truck, but you'll have a better chance on messing up your KW. Moving the the tandems forward will also help you in an area like downtown and big city deliveries. It will be easier to make turns. Remember, even if you had moved your tandems for reasons of being legal weight on highway, you won't be going through any more state scales to worry about. Just a thought. 👍👌
Enjoy trucking video with his new truck ! Mike from Missouri
So close to that Million! Keep it going!
Happy and safe driving lots of love from India
Nice job backing into that dock.
Buddy did you check your 2nd stop to make sure they didn't take to much off here at the 1st stop sure would suck to be short a pallet or 2 at that 2nd stop
That new Kenworth seems to be crazy loud inside for a new truck.
Not at all. It’s incredibly quiet actually. Dude rolls down his windows all the time for no reason.
@@joshknighttt He closed them at around 16:00 mark and the engine was still very audible with quite a lot of vibrations.
@@sic22l I put around 200k on my 23 T680 and trust me, it’s not loud at all. A very quiet and comfortable truck.
Tough job! Complain as much as you want!
"That's a straight up garage" 😂👍
Its gotta be illegal in 38 states to have thst GPS in your line of sight!!
No one cares to be honest
you are in my hood, everytime i see a blue truck i wonder if its alex
Champaign Illinois my neck of the woods lol
23:50 next time Alex, go straight across the street, then back up jackknifeing to the left, then proceed left.
Just a guess since the T680 has a 75in bunk you might be 5 to 10 inch longer wheelbase than the cascadia. I think the cas was 230 you may be 235 to 240in. Ask Steve or one of the guys at maint desk what the wheelbase is compared to cascadia. I was contracted as an o/o there 3 yrs.
All yall complaining but yet still watching his videos.
Yes,we do !!!
Because we all loved the move "DUMB & DUMBER" !
This is just the updated version of it.....The dude is SIMPLE !
Congrats on the new truck!
Great to see you my friend Love the truck , take your time it’s been a min from when you were in one be safe brother
I'm curious. What takes more time, loading the truck, or backing up to the dock?
Loading/unloading
@@sufpmao, That was a sarcastic comment, it's a rhetorical question. Alex takes forever to back into a bay, spot, or space. He needs to work on his backing skills, that's a fact.
Depends if Teamsters are involved.....
@@chrisherbert123 Any time you can back-up without smashing anything (too much) is a good job
@@chrisherbert123 I would much rather it take me 20min to back into a dock than to rush and hit something. Driving is a constant cycle of learning. The day I quit learning is the day that it's time for me to get out of the truck.
Awesome! Glad to see you in omaha! Stay safe out there!
So, I’ve seen this happen to you a few times, where your customer tells you that the dock is in a completely different spot from the delivery address. I feel like this is the kind of thing your dispatcher would know and be able to brief you on when they assign you. Is this snipe hunt a common occurrence in trucking?
This shit happens all the time in trucking. No one bothers to check till you are late or calling them about it. I always triple check any and all addresses I get. Cause they are wrong a lot and it sucks taking a huge truck to the wrong address.
Shit happens all the time and im a local driver. Its really annoying to get to the location and they tell you the actual location is an additional 15 minutes away. Granted 15 minutes isnt far its just irritating
Yea no one cares unless it’s late. Everyone half a$$ there job and expect driver to be 100% perfect and professional
I’ve had this happen a few times. Awhile back in Arkansas, I went to a place to pick up some corn and the actual silo for it was like, 5 miles outside town. Had to follow a dude from the office out to the farm. Lol
Alex, you had better stay out of that sketchy kayak!
Hey Alex, I enjoy watching your videos, please if you can play more thanks stay safe out there.
"Does it have a longer wheelbase?"
Answer: YES
It’s not different it’s the same wheel base. You aren’t driving an extended hood. You are making it sound harder than it really is” because it’s a kenworth” You have a short wheel base truck. The easiest truck on the market.
If you lined both trucks up in the dock they wouldn’t be any bigger lol. Keep dreaming bud.
Cb radio? 10 meter big radio, coil antenna , come on man
Keep it going, momentum is the way to go!
Love your positive attitude in the worst situation alex! Keep sharing and thank you!
Positive attitude? Dude does nothing but whine and cry through most of his videos and he refuses to go to certain places. Hardly positive
you and that damn phone . . . .
Kenworths and peterbuilts turning radius isn’t as good as the freightliners
Show us the engine? Is it a Cummins (red) or paccar (black).
It’s a Cummins.
Nothing like starting the video off with the flashers on, every video starts the same way.
I read that that's a feature on the next gen t680, your digital cluster dims way down when you reverse with your lights on
It does
Over 1/2 of his videos are of backing to dock door.
Better than 3/4 of the video being loaded/unloaded and the remaining 1/4 OTR straight interstate.
That back up beep is going to upset the other drivers at the truck stops u sleep at. I’d lose it fast, or take karate lessons!
You really ARE a wino😅
😂😂 what
How in the heck can you back that thing up so good?
The T 600. Kenworth. Used to be real good . They don't have a sharp turning ratio. But the new Kenworth. With the motors and transmissions, no good.
Is ok.take your time parking.
I dont understand why you keep running out of air quiet often. On that first backing on the beginning of the video you shouldn't be running out of air. You must be pressing on that peddle all the way down
All new auto kenworth will run out of air often. It's really frustrating.
I don't see how. I drive a 2023 t680 as well and I never seem to have that problem
@edgarmendez8505 I have 2024 and occasionally it gets low on air while backing if I have to brake a lot. I've seen many others have the same problem. It reads low air transmission? Have to set brakes and build back up
Never had that problem
He doesn't know how to back up and he's cranking that brake
hey ALEX, my love and inspiration as a driver, how I miss you, I love your videos and I hope to see you very soon on any road in this beautiful nation
You have got to unplug that back up alarm. 😂
Your Company should have given you a Daycab, you Drive like a Grandmother. Lol
Love your videos, but one thing drives me crazy......... you never seem to get better at backing.......... always takes forever. that new back up alarm will drive people crazy........ maybe focus on getting better at backing... worry less about talking and more about backing. Keep up the good work!!
Alex do you ever get on the highway and drive? Gee Wees!!!
Crazy to see some of the hate. Always an old timer too. Let the dude work, he’s making his living and doing it his way on his time. Y’all super truckers need to chill out lol
Thanks!
Alex said a bad word. TWICE!
Thank you for your videos
Every driver gets a Kenworth Truck @ GP?
Its good to see all these kenworths Auto try coming to new zealand and drive them coz there all 18 speed manuals
He could never drive a manual. He barely manages an automatic.
we need more Alex
in few years planning to be a truck driver maybe u got any tips for starters?
Don't drink or be under the influence of anything while driving. That is called DUI. Don't ask me how I know.....
You might be blocking the street but there is no traffic at all
Wonder how many drivers at GP that has been there far longer and not as late on loads as Alex quit because they gave him the nice new KW lol
did/do those drivers provide the same amount of free advertising as Alex? Are they bringing in drivers at the same rate as Alex? The more you bring to a company the more they will do for you, generally speaking.
Nah they the best trucking company. They are essentially for truckers by truckers
Alex please slide your tandems when making these tight backings. It makes it so much easier.
His tandems were up
Did you pay for your own cdl or you got someone to sponsor ?
LOL, truck school😮. I learned from my dad when he was a truck driver. Also, what is so special about this truck that cost $250,000?
Not everyone has a truck driver father to learn from, sir.
google prices of brand-new trucks. really isn't that hard.
What a pain in the a double s
He bought his own truck? Nice!
@@christygruber2283 10-4. It says "My" so I misunderstood. Thanks
No, no he didn't
No, he threatened to quit the company if they didn't give him a kw. So they caved and bought 2 for a deal and gave the other kw to the driver of the year.
University Park is a far South side suburb Chicago It can be very dangerous it's very poor
That is some good driving dude......Is the truck comfortable to sleep in??
Would be a shame if that back-up alarm stopped working
Great driver, great truck
Don’t crash your $250k truck
He's totally awkward 😂
But he can bend his wrist all the way back...
At the rate that I watch your videos ima need like 4 vids a week
Happy late New Years.
I've been to University Center multiple times
I love your videos bro. But you complain all the time. Thank you for sharing
Regards from. india🇮🇳🇮🇳
It’s not a tank it’s a Cadillac
That was not an easy delivery!
Dude backing w seat belts on 😂 and he’s driving for 4 years already 🫤 feels like swift driver
Do you do TNT Alex I’d love to train with you
Good video
Anybody been a switcher before ?
Have you ever traveled with a partner?
Please move your GPS!!!!!!!
Alex ohio I delivered there every week m design I even saw my trailer in video😅😅😅
Alex when are you going to get on the highway and do some real driving?
What is the best trucking company to work for right after getting your cdl
A) Its not your truck B) Its not "Custom "
Hello :D
Man I hate when you have to back in off a street with cars and stuff everywhere. Always the worst.
How have you lost 100k on this truck from the last video??????????????
Too bad you don't know how to really drive... jeez
He’s prbly better than you
@@evancarver272 doubt it
They ordered the custom truck with a reverse alarm specifically for Alex.
When you're Backing up and recording it , make sure you're WEARING Seat belt.
Safety 👀 u. ❤️ 😍
That truck isn't custom and isn't 250k 😂
Go dumas tx
Yo Alex I love your truck
