My new ride

My new ride - 09/16/20 03:13 AM

i think its pretty cool my company gives new drivers brand new trucks. After the issues my 2018 had with 425k miles on it, I picked this up yesterday morning. The one that went into limp mode went back to Kenworth and my company told them to give me a different one.

So with less than 6 months of driving experience i was handed the keys to a brand new 2021 Kenworth. It had 41 miles on it when I got it. Now im headed from Wisconsin back to Ft Worth with 23 tons of Miller!

K. D. its funny, you have over 400,000 miles on your 2018 and my cousin and his wife now have 400,000 on their 2018 KW. They haul Coors and you haul Miller. Lol

Thatโ€™s pretty cool! Miller Coors is now called Molson Coors. We pick up and haul lots for them as well. We have terminals within a few miles of several major breweries around the country. Trenton Ohio, Richfield Wi, Cartersville Ga and Burleson TX for the brewery in Ft Worth. Iโ€™ve hauled loads from dog food, to bath soap, dog biscuits, empty beer bottles, all kinds of alcohol, canned and bottled and even plastic sheets that the guacamole factory in Saginaw uses for the peel away top for HoleyGuacamole! I hope your cousin and his wife enjoy it as much as I do!

Nice man, youโ€™ll like the KW, only thing more comfortable on the road IMO is Peterbilt. Glad to see duals on those drive axles too!! We have a bunch of T880โ€™s in our fleet, the guys love em!

Depends on whether the lizards are man or woman and if the truck has double bunks LOL

And where you picked them up at stay away from West Memphis for lizards tho

Nice ride for sure! White Line Fever!

Re: My new ride - 09/16/20 07:27 PM

Thanks for the well wishes! And yes, I rarely get in the fast lane.

I just stopped at the Joplin 44 Petro. Its not as big as the Iowa 80 which is worlds largest, but it's still huge. Its like a BassPro for truckers!

used to go there when I was at the home terminal for CFI, just up 44 a way.

lots of cool truck stuff, across the street used to be the co. that did the show pimp my truck, they did some bad arse semis. not sure if they are still there or not.
