That yard goat sounds amazing.
This was an incredible run down of the truck. As a new otr driver, this was incredibly informative
Love these trucks.
I am an truck driver with a division of the Eaton Corporation. I've been driving truck for 20 years (18 years with UPS and 2 years with Eaton). My first truck was a 1977 Mack Cabover with no power steering and a 5 speed wet clutch. After years of driving the improvements made to the trucks are beneficial to my body. Lighter, air assisted clutch to power steering, etc. I have only driven an automated transmission once (2015 Mack Pinnicle) and had a good experience. Haven't tried the new trucks but I'm interested to try them. Thank you to all the manufacturers that use Eaton products. They are keeping me rolling and supporting my family. Thank to the manufacturers and the drivers who use them.
I have no probelm with the manual Eaton trans just the auto air shift junk. I have the enduant in this video and it is garbage. Constantly stalls out of gear in the middle of interaections and cant make up its mind on the highway when slowing down or speeding up. Also the trans also often times will say low air and will not shift. When reversing if you do not stomp the brake pedal will not shift so yoy have to sit there awkwardly blocking traffic. Simple solution is a manual which does not bother me one bit.
Really like the look of the new international
Driver international. Nice looking on the outside but terrible engine and less space in the cabin. Stick with a Cascadia.
What about with an x15?
From the retired driver another very informative video, great job! Nice truck.
Prime nice
International truck
2020 happy new year,
He did the best on point telling what the new model was great job from that rep
A nice apologist!
I love it everything on it yes prime did a great job keep up the good work
Thanks for watching and for the support!
So the money these companies are saving goes into the drivers pocket right? Just curious where the money goes. Especially when there’s so many smaller companies running Peterbilt and Kenworth’s and brand new gliders that cost substantially more than a ProStar while making more money than most big company drivers. So either the small company owners are living off peanuts keeping the drivers happy or the big companies are hiding the money.
Big companies are slave drivers small companies have to accommodate all ends which usually ends up prospering for the driver. Because without a driver they loose contracts. Bigger company don't worry about contracts as much.
They save a nickel, gives you a penny per nickel saved the rest goes a big glass jar that has a label corporate greed. Thats just plain and simple business. Company makes the profit by the end of the day. If you are insterested of having a jar like this on your own do your research and educate yourself in financial literacy and how to apply it in trucking. Do the work to make it work.
@@RippingWieber Big companies absolutely rely on contracts. Lol.
Ahhhhh so that IS the step for the top bunk😅 I'm a new otr driver that's been driving solo for two weeks. I'll be starting teams in the next two day's and I've been telling my teammate that idk how the hell we access the top bunk because I couldn't find the ladder haha. I told him that either the steps were as I thought or that one of us had to be a ninja 🥷🏿 so thank you for that clarification 😂
Steve is a good salesman.
Great video. I enjoyed it!
So for those who use a cb in this....wilson silver load antennas 5 foot long, long enough to just stick above the top of the truck will make a massive improvement in performance because I promise you, those short antennas mounted between the cab and trailer are COMPLETELY USELESS.
Great job on the video👍🏻
USB ports great. Way better storage larger top bunk space for larger fridge Paper towel holder wow. Wish the lap top tray table in Pete was In This one and vise versa on few other things. Swivel seats dang I’m impressed but hubby loves Pete’s and he is the 20 yr driver I love the storage in this truck
I absolutely love that truck! All kinds of cool features. And I'm so glad they returned the pull cord for the horn!! It was just super lame when a kid would do the arm thing and you couldn't actually pull anything. Also love the halogen headlights. I can't stand LEDs. I'd like it better with the chrome grill though.
Thank you for watching!
I drive a red international LT (2020 or 2021) with a mid roof for another company. I will say when they assigned it to me I was at first disappointed in it but the thing has grown on me and I realize it is nicely set up. Model I am in has an EPU and a longer frame for flatbed boxes. Thing has had good traction in the snow as well. And I have a cummins. Wish the mirror mounts had antenna mounts cause the ones at the back of the cab are worthless for picking up anyone in front of me. Behind me isn't so bad since I have a flatbed.
What I would change is make the wheel city horn easier to push and make it a bit loader then my Volkswagen horn. Would also be nice to have a Swinging TV mount on the back wall with a bungee hold down for when driving. Trying to strap a flatscreen TV on top of a cabinet just doesn't work too well. And a dedicated cabinet for a microwave would also be nice to one doesn't have to give up table top space. And as for the step system for the upper bunk I think it is just stupid and a ladder is easier then trying to find a step half way down and hoping the other guy didn't leave his dinner on it before he ran inside the rest area to the crapper.
Nice looking truck.
Want it, want it, want it!!!!!
When the office choose for the brand to buy without any knowledge of quality trucks lol. Let the driver's decide what they need. These ladies go home every night and never live in a truck.
Drivers dont know what they need they are to stupid
@@kevinhock3136 normally I disagree with the "they dont know what they want" mentality... but you're so right. I wouldnt say as much as saying they're stupid but they definitely have different priorities than I feel they should. They're too focused on looks and comfort and things like that that dont really matter rather than efficiency and cost effectiveness, not that those arent important but if something is ugly af but with a great drag coefficient... people should be lining up around the block
Then watch Trucker nae nae she worked in the office is now a trucker
All trucks need blue tooth speaker front and back. good ac and heat units refrigerator and Garmin truck gps and like 5 mattress to choose from and those bumpers I've seen them stop elk
Premium audio with sirus xm front and back and like campers they need tv and wall mounted entertainment system
Inverter.
Papertowle holder should be lower.
Lol
I love that so much love how the international truck is would love to drive one that is amazing truck
Dont , looks good from outside and thats all
If he shakes a truck with his hand so easy, I can imagine what a wind will do.
They carry 62,000 lb trailers you know 🙄
After spending many years in manufacturing, I really feel like the trucking industry is pretty slow on safety features. I know a lot of guys rely on technical expertise but it's the last thing you need for safety. I'm surprised there's no warning for steering too sharp. Like a grind noise at the no go point to keep people from those hard turns or even a removable guard preventable. Locking points on trailer doors for "lock out" when you are working in the trailer. I think it was in, the power of habit. Great book with some amazing anecdotes about profitable company turn around based almost solely on safety focused habits in both manufacturing and medical companies.
Nice resetable fuses. No need to pullout plyera and buy new fuses. 😊
hopefully they remounted the qc. it would be hard to see it where its currently mounted
SHIFT WAY SMOOTHER AND GO WAYYYYY SLOWER!!!!! SMH!!!
do you get a choice of truck if your a company driver, or are all your new trucks for the leasing drivers?
National Seating. My personal favorite
JUST LIKE A 2015 VOLVO!! Here this international is a 2020 model haha! Wow!
Wow that is amazing truck .
Thanks for watching and the comment!
Great video as always and great storage for Drivers but I can't turn my back on the FREIGHTLINERS, like the video still.. Keep up the great work Prime 👍
I know love my Freightliner
Driving a 2019 right now and god it's a terrible truck. The company I drive for slip seats freightliners and Internationals of the same year and it's rattles like it's held together with scotch tape at 138,000 miles. The ride is horrible when compared to the freightliner and the noise is horrible. The wind noise that seeps through the doors blows my mind. How can a large company like international let something like that actually make production? Makes you wonder what else they would let slip through.
My 2020 international lt shakes rattles squeaks non stop since new it now has 25k miles and is a total pile
My 22 LT does the same thing! And I think it is total crap!
These people either never have driven/lived in one of these turds! No room in the sleeper if you have a small fridge!
These are just hired people to talk about this truck, no REAL OTR experience!
Here's a list of my Favorite Trucks:
1. Volvo VNL 860
2. International LT
3. Mack Anthem
4. Freightliner Cascadia [New]
5. Kenworth T680
All Plastic Garbage.
You’ve never driven a Pete I take it
Volvo is your favorite trucks you are a steering wheel holder
@@taylorallen6980 I have driven most brands and I can say Volvo's are really smooth driving trucks. I am not a fan of how they look though. I live in Michigan and the roads are horrible.
You have set yourself with low Standards
Great review of the truck Steve. Keep up the great work!
Is the safety straps available in the top bunk?
What is rear end gear ratio?
What a smile
Not a fan of the International, I'm a Kenworth guy. Thanks for sharing. Each brand has there own unique features and niches about them.
Wayne Norbrey, Jr they definitely do each have their own twist! It’s been fun to showcase each of the models this month. Hopefully we’ll get Kenworths back some day here. Love the KW look!
No Jake breaks no hook that will not buy to much money
All of them has their Pros & Cons.... Customizations it’s a Big part of it too (APU System, Heather System, IDLE Timing, ETC,ETC)
Their
I don’t drive an LT but I drive an HV with A26 and I love that motor mine is on a vactor truck it weighs 37,000 pounds empty And it pulls like a son of a
Thanks for watching our video, Bill!
Glad they at least moved the engine forward so you can work on the junker. That's what I'm doing today. Navistar makes job security. Also the yellow knob is the spring brakes not service brakes. Service brake is in the floor
I'm in the 2019 International and I just moved my Papertowels into their proper place 👏🏾
Love to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Have you had any issues with your international?
No problems at all for the 1st time....I love this Truck
I drive a 2019 international LT. My issues are the climate control may be closer but but they are too low making me take my eyes of the road to look at the knob to select from different modes like defrost to floor etc. The climate controls should be put.closer to the top. Also the bunk controls for HVAC and inverter is a bad spot on the back wall because I have my pillows there and sleep that way. Andy why put a 12v socket there who's gonna drape a cord across the bed where you sleep?
Then the side mirrors are set back alittle to much making me lean my head back to look in them when backing. My freightliner before this I simply had to look left or right no leaning my head back far. And one more thing threaded fuel caps suck. Freightliner twist and lock so much easier. The one tank on mine has the threads almost stripped from people cross threading the cap on mine.
I hope you never have to drive a 70s Transtar cabover
Where is the engine brake and do it work good
why does the interior look like some OLD 2001 interior??? also why does the topper not come forward past the windshield like most other trucks? having more room should be one of the highest priorities. as for the weather stripping, just peels off the factory seal and slap on a redesigned aftermarket weather stripping to fix the noise. Also dynamat helps alot too
Does anyone know where the fifth wheel release switch inside .. I just got one couldn’t see any switch
Does the cattle catcher grill
Still hook fences and other truck bumpers, when backing up ?
The answer is yes. All of these dumb bumpers will burn a hole in your wallet.
Rick Tompson probably not cause it's propably cheap plastic. LOL
If you have problems hooking things with the front bumper, install "rookie sticks" on the corners till you know the truck
Anything on the Volvo???
No TV mount?
Never been a big international fan but that is a nice truck!!!
The trucks are terrible my company has two Once the lease is up next year we are getting Peterbilts
@@The101Point1 haha..yeah cant go wrong with a pete..ive heard alot of bad things about internationals..functionality is more important than bells and whistles..sometimes..
I wish they would fix the mirrors. The chrome on mine reflects the headlights into my face.
What’s the size of the fuel tanks?
Can u get it in a Cummins with a Eaton fuller transmission
Has the a26 engines given you any problems
Do they still catch on fire up hill?
Figures another foreigner would moc k our trucks
Most Popular Videos Around it’s not mocking if it’s true.
It is true internationals are known to combust on its own
How many different features are there.
Thanks for the video. I like the color especially with the black grill
Nertz happy to hear that! Thanks for watching
Prime, Inc.
what make of engine and horse power is the truck equipped with?
Where is the inverter turn on/off ...readout for volts /amps
👍 COOL
I like the ford dash.
What the weight with full tanks ?
I want to get in that 2020
Yay make truck longer but still keep the space behind the engine in the firewall so small
Nice international truck in universe
Hi Rommel! Thank you for watching.
Brand new international falling apart right off the assembly line🤣🤣🤣
Muy buenas maquinas lo digo por experiencia
Prime installs the Apu unit, ok I misunderstood ! 🐸
Like a job driving truck
The host is soooooo cute!
;)
Bragging about an International truck is like Bragging about a smart car.
When that shelf fell out on him I almost died laughing. Make it as pretty as you can but it is still a fall apart while you drive international.
Frumos. Frumos...............
They need to add a fold away ladder for the top bed because of safety issues. Peace
I have noticed a lot of truck companies are going automatic,and the transmission are easier to fix.
No, they are all switching to autos because the truck driving schools all have autos. No one has sticks anymore unless you order a truck with one. Which is another $10k for the stick addon!
Can someone tell me how to use the accent switch in the bunk?. 2 with the cabinet and fridge. I have a 34 inch TV. Fits great. 3. The cb fuse always blows. . .my second lt. I always use a homemade cord for it.
Did you manage to fit that 32 inc tv?
It's because of Andrea Buehler I watched this video all the way through, a beautiful lady
What the Biggest side of Mini Fridge, Microwave & Tv Size this model can Fit.
Nice truck.. Driver friendly greetings from Canada.
Rajen Gandhi hi! Thanks for watching.
Death of the 10 speed 13, 18 manuals apparently
beautiful truck
Man that's a Beautiful Truck
I’m sure you still need to rip the dash apart to replace a switch or one of those air valves.
No, not really. Just pry out the little plastic panels. The entire dash is flimsy as all get out! Pop the breaks and your coffee cup about jumps out of the cup holder!!!
Nothing destroyed the trusted name of Navistar and international trucks MORE than the MAXX FORCE Motor, nothing.
i like the truck for the most part but i dont like the non fold up top bunk. otherwise. nice looking truck
No closet on the RHS of the bunk ?
Why do all the trucks have the deer guard
What does the 2023 cost ?
Great video
are all of the trucks at prime automatic now?
Yes
Keep in mind if you take your test in an automatic, you are only endorsed to drive an automatic.
why no Kenworth, would be a very nice addition to the fleet
Audio Low & Too High Mic The Others
You really should invest in a mic for the people you are interviewing so we can actually HEAR them!
How do I set optimize idle. This 2020 international doesn’t have a switch to set it
Feel free to reach out to International directly regarding this issue.
Nice! Now if they start paying decently!
ส่งมาเมืองไทยสักคัน
I drove for prime for 9 years. Not bad to start but I will keep my 2004 kw with no payments and keep all the money. Lol.
Ya I have been trucking 18 years never been in a auto. But I seen a few on the side of the road herd there grate when they are working
Hay is there any way to people from other countries to join Prime internship or a driving school? Please guide.
Unfortunately, you must live in the United States within our hiring area, and you must hold a valid US driver’s license for at least one year to be eligible for Prime.
porque não tem desse no Brasil
Do the company drivers still get the small sleepers? And the one seat in the truck
Yeah when I was there the company drivers got the small trucks with one bed and no passenger seat
That was by options not force I had a light weight Cascadia and international but I also had the 579 Pete and condo Cascadia also
I was on the fence tell they said that the top bunk dont move nope im done
