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. ♥
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.
@@TheJoyofTrucking No the grant dont need repayment and that for thanks for the suggestion.
@@tysoncathy38 That’s great! Good for you!!
@@tysoncathy38 Congratulations 🎉
How did you get the grant ? I need help 🙏🏾
There’s nothing like the feel and smell of a new truck! As a driver it really makes you feel appreciated when the company provides you with a new ride. Congrats Kevin and Tonya( hope I spelled your name right)
It's Tanja is how you spell it
Please just give me a restored mid 90s 379 Pete or restored 359 extended hood and I would feel honored.
Nothing like the smell of an old truck either well taken care of. Used to be called Large Cars.
You knew you had prestige at smaller companies when they gave you one to drive. If you screwed it up then you got the cheap new prices of crap.
He'll I would rather pull loads in a backboard with a team of mules than drive one of these trucks. Let me guess... an automatic tranny too?
But these folks are excited about a 455? 500 is 45 more horses under the hood. OMG Crete sure takes care of thier drivers, right? Ugh huh.
These new drivers get so exited for driving brand new big Hyundais. I would rather own a hot rod or drive one for a companies that knows my name from the head to the dispatchers.

I've been with Crete for almost 19 years. I got a new 2020 T680 in September '19. I got about 1.5 years out of it before I started having problems with it. In the last 6 months I had it, it was in one shop or another a total of 30 days! Always waiting on parts.
Probably I’m using your old freightliners 45 436-2021
Crete a good company? I’ve been driving for 20 years never otr but I might have too. I’m stuck at a dead end company and can’t even sniff an interview with another company. I’m down in south Florida and the market is flooded with drivers looking for work
As a Kenworth employee this makes me very proud to see!
Ahhhh…hello there!!! How fun to have you watch and comment on the video. Yes, we love the KW!!! Did a whole series on getting the truck and completing the first load. There will be an interior tour video, in the next week or so, with some good feedback about the features from a driver’s point of view.
Thanks for making a great truck! Kevin is so happy to drive this 2024 Kenworth T680!🤩
Congratulations on the new truck. I wish you many hundred thousand miles of happy and profitable of driving. Stay safe guys.
Thank you so very much!
You will absolutely enjoy the new T680. A nice , true upgrade in comfort for both of you.
Yes!!! Thank you!!! That’s what we think too!!!
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.
Turn the opti idle temps to max cool or heat and use trucks temp mix control to the temperature you like. Since temp will never reach opti set temp truck will never shut off. Sleep like a baby. Your welcome.
@@phila8160 I have done that, it shuts down after a little over an hour and and then starts right back up.
I hated that Opti Idle when I worked there. Felt like Pavlov's dog everytime it got ready to start, I'd wake up😂
@@mikestriegel791 exactly, just about the time it gets too hot to sleep, it cranks, just about the time you fall back asleep, it dies!! The engine shutting down it way worse than it starting up
@sweetteatruckin3202 yeah, that rumble . I've been pulling reefer th3 last 19 plus years, and while it can be similar, at least I can run the unit on "continuous". Our new reefers are pretty quiet, too. We use an Espar heater for the cold weather, and I absolutely love it.
This is the most excitement I’ve seen out of Kevin. Enjoy your ride, driver
Liked how Kevin did an inspection of the truck before he looked inside. Way to greet a truck old or new
😁😁😁😆😆🤩👍
Good Day, I agree with many of the comments “you deserve it.” Look I’ve been a licensed cdl holder since 95’ and have done many things in our wonderful industry.
No question about it you’re a class act Kevin.
Your attention to detail is outstanding and I’m certain Crete appreciates this from you.
Stay safe.
Congratulations and I love y’all’s energy always so positive we need more people like you guys in this world from one trucker to another congrats and be safe out there
Thank you so much!!!! Glad you enjoy our energy and attitudes!! 🤗
Congratulations on the new truck, you deserve it. Friendly suggestion -- instead of using suction cup to mount gps on windshield, look up "Beanbag Dashboard Friction Mount for Garmin GPS." One of the best purchases I've made as a trucker.
Congratulations on the new ride! Wishing you many safe and enjoyable trips across this great country!
When we get Donald back it will be a great country again not the mess we're in right now
I've had one repeat issue my 22 KW (electronic issue with auto transmission selector and I just got it back from the dealership) but after a year and a half I still love mine.
I had the same problem with my 2023. Took a week to have it sent out and repaired and replaced. Almost left me stranded on the side of the road.
@@jimhays1896 it's a royal pain.
Glad to see Kevin get a New truck, keeping your driver's Happy keeps the freight moving and more inspired to do better.
Thank you Crete!! Enjoy your new KW Kevin!!
Thank you!!! 🤗🤩
I’ll be as happy is these drivers are when going from Freightshakers to the sophisticated elegant KW
The lock out on the power on/off switch is also for mechanics to ensure no one turns the power on when they are under the hood etc. Enjoying your you tube channel! 😊
👍👍👍Thanks!!!
Our T680 has side doors in the sleeper . which is very nice for putting stuff into the sleeper . Also we have all around disk brakes . but over all T680 is a nice truck
Now comes the fun part, changing trucks. Just be glad its not a 98 degree day.
👍👍👍
I have a 2023 Kenworth T680 and it’s magnificent! All Crete needs to do is put TriPacs on their trucks
They are testing APU’s on one of the Walmart dedicated fleets right now and are considering them.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty truck. You can choose any color as long as it’s blue or red. I’ll be due a new truck in about six months - hope they have me a KW at that time.
We had three new kenworths and the Volvo has the most storage of all the trucks. If the kw pops up and says stop. Stop and pull off the road because if not it could catch on fire. 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. Good for books or cleaning supplies. Enjoy yours. Just wish they would put metal bumpers on all the trucks.
Kevin deserves new kenworth,,very respected, respectful,,one of great drivers..I always ❤️ watching u2 channel, I am your number 1 viewer.. u2 be safe, God speed.. kee9 doing what your doing.. may God be with yall keep u2 safe always, keep posting ❤❤
Awesome Kevin! Hope you two enjoy the new truck. Love seeing your videos, and these new ones should be just as good.
❤ congrats on the new truck! 🎉
Looking forward to joining you soon at Crete, thanks for always being available to talk!
Marty P @ Werner
Thank you for being part of the supply chain. I quick driving to be home with the kids. Now retired and always thinking what if I had chose trucking over being married. Enjoy your new truck.
😆We think you made the right choice! 🥰
I have a 2023 t680, went into derate mode at 95k miles. Good luck. My old 22 t 680 went into derate mode at 240k last year. Good luck
There’s nothing like getting those new trucks. Congratulations!!!
Nothing like the feel of a spring ride trailer. 😢😢
Congrats ! I just got 2023 kw, it’s pretty awesome. Looks like yours doesn’t have the side doors which makes all the difference when loading my groceries and belongings into the truck. But all in all it’s an awesome truck. Enjoy and happy trucking guys !
When are you going to upload another video again?
It’s always a great feeling to get a new truck, it’s Christmas present time, congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾 😊
You had me chuckling along with you out of excitement, I guarantee your management care and respect the both of you, God bless, happy and safe mileage, from the 80 yr. young Canuck.
🥰🤗🇨🇦
as a retired trucker from UK love you channel good luck with the new truck
Thanks! 👋👋👋🇬🇧👍
I was excited for you. I had a feeling it was going to either be red or blue. :) Congrats!
😁😆😆😆🤣😂👍Thanks!!
The fact u can not hide your smile
👍👍👍😆🤩🤩
You can also pull the ignition relay . Put it in your pocket its in the fuse box lower left under the steering wheel.
I recently switched for my 2021 Freightliner to a 2018 Kenworth t680 and there is no way in hell that I would go back to driving a Freightshaker.
We agree!
I have a 2023 T680 with a x-15. I had the gear shifter/selector go out at 65k miles. Known issue and KW does not have replacements on the shelf. Had to have it pulled out and rebuilt. Took a week, but under warranty. Good luck and enjoy!! I get 13-14 mpg bobtail and 9-10 loaded( usually 15-20k pounds)
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.
Congratulations! I'm new to your channel and I'm looking forward to following your journey. I drive an older T680 and would love to one day drive a next gen T680. Enjoy your new ride and many happy trails to y'all 😊
Looks to me like Kevin is the fan girl now lol! Congrats guys, wish you many miles and no breakdowns !
Kevin, remember to check the inspection sticker.
😆😆😆Good reminder!
@@TheJoyofTrucking enjoy your new ride.
That's awesome. Congratulations to both of you. I'm so glad you turned down that other Freightliner. This is a much better truck. Safe travels.
Congratulations! Hoping to join you on the road soon over there! Many happy and safe miles in the KW.
Hallo .....oh , ich möchte euch herzlich gratulieren ...zu eurem new Truck .....immer eine gute Fahrt 🙄👏👏👏und viel Spaß many greetings from Germany from Oliver

Congratulations on your truck upgrade. Way better!!! Looks fantastic
Thanks 👍😃
Congratulations! You deserve it, great driver!
Thank you very much!
Congrats Kevin! You've earned it brother👊👊👍👍
Wow I didn’t know Crete have Kenworths on their fleet. I’m hoping to come to Crete after I finish my year with my current company
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!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking yes I love kenworths. My company mostly uses kenworths im in a 2023 t680 right now. Basically looks like yours only difference is I have a table. And yes I can’t wait to finish this year im really looking forward to coming to Crete I hear nothing but great things! Im just trying to make sure I stay safe and keep a clean driving record so I will be able to come
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. 😃
I'm with don hummer. we have kw t680s. love them. day and night vs my old cascadia
Congratulations🎉 I am so happy for the both of you..blessed travels...
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.
I see where the put the ELD blocks your view of the built in screen.
congrats Thanks Crete
👍👍👍🤩
It's amazing how excited you can get for a few cents per mile
Congratulations. Very nice ride. Very well deserved.
A semi over the road tractor , should have a good size fridge , a table to cook eat and do paperwork, also if you’re a driver like me a personal toilet, if the sleeper is not equipped for long haul trips forget mobi g into it , because drivers are human beings that have needs 😊
Thanks again for the start up, and the two horns!
And, congratulations on your new truck!
And, it's not 455hp, it's at 450hp
Just found your channel about a week ago, a few days after I applied to Crete as a rehire from a few years back. Really enjoy your videos!! I start orientation Monday in Lincoln. I really hope I get a KW!!
Glad you found our channel! Hope it’s given you a bit of a preview of how things are at Crete these days. What made you leave? What’s making you come back?
Not sure if our referral code works with rehires, but if you aren’t using anyone else’s, we’d love it if you would consider giving them ours, SLOKEV. It’s a great way to support the channel.
We will cross our fingers for you! They were getting a lot of 2024 KW’s in a couple months ago. And we heard that it was going to continue for a bit. We saw them in Lenoir City. Just keep reminding them that’s what you want. 😁😁😁
Hope to meet you along the way!!! And thanks for watching! Welcome to The Joy of Trucking community!!!

Fairly good chance i drove that truck b4 delivery
Kenworth all day!! Congratulations 🍾🎉
👍👍👍🥰🎉🤩
I'm happy for you two good first trip with the beautiful new truck 🌟🌟
Wish you would have gotten the regular conventional analog gauges and not the digital electronic stuff....... Too many of the roads are terrible out there and the electronics just don't handle the jarring very well....... Kind of like putting your flat screen TV on a little trailer and dragging it around behind you on the roads for a while and expect it to still work... I have that exact same display in my Peterbilt.
In all honesty I like the Kenworth better... Congratulations...... Very nice truck
wow creety decided to go with kenworths if dwayne was alive he probably won't be happy all the years i work for y'all we had centuries class great work truck well enjoy ur new ride 😊
Im glad you like it!
you're lucky,the last time i had to do a switch like that it was a kw for a shaker
😔😔😔😔😔
Congrats 😊So happy for the two of you❤❤
Im excited and i dont even know you guys. I'll be watching. Stay safe my friend. God bless you both.
🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Lol…thanks for sharing our joy and excitement!!! Blessings for you as well!
Thankfully the truck still needs a driver . Don’t know how long that’s gonna last
Congratulations on your new truck and happy Father's Day. My wife and I went to the farm today and she mowed for me great father's day present you'll be safe
My home Charlie West! (Charleston WV) Nice new rig!
👍👍👍🤩
the KW is nice the place I work for makes the hoods for the 680
Looks like a nice truck. I was
/o for many years. I only owned Kenworth. I am retired now. My thoughts on the T 680. I owned one at one time. I put 1 million miles on it. It had a paccar engine. 13 speed manual.
I did like the interior. But for me, it was the worst truck I ever owned. It was in the shop more than on the road. Just one year I put 38.000 in the shop cost. That was my most expensive year. I put more in repairs than what the truck cost me. I must got a lemon. My very best trucks was the W900l. I had owned 2 of them over the years. I figured I lose a mile a gallon but in the long run, they stayed out of the shop.
My biggest interest in the Kenworth is that I have heard that it as a much softer ride on the highway and with the bumps in the road. That's what I want to hear you talk about. Hopefully it's better than these Freightliner trucks taking the bumps all these roads have
Yes!!!! We can give you the sneak peek….WAY BETTER RIDE!!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking much better ride for real?? Talk about that more on the ride in your next video. I don't know why Freightliner can't copy some of what makes those Kenworth ride so nice and the Freightliners ride like they do?
@@williampeters6004 Yes…and KW learn a bit about storage and a simple pull out table. Lol!!!
@@TheJoyofTrucking I know what you mean guys. You get two things that are better and one that's not as good. Kind of a toss-up in different ways. More pros and cons probably though
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! 😆
I finally got me one finally 💯💪🏾🥰
🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊👏👏👏Congratulations!!! Happy for you! How do you like it?
Gust what the new ones break down to, cross your fingers. Enjoy
Lol….yes…we hope there won’t be too many kinks to work out. 🤞🤞🤞
looks good I am going to be going back to work for Crete ... retired in January....
That was a short retirement🤔 What’s the story if you don’t mind us asking?

I,m glad 4 u.
clean!, wov! did you ever wash your truck before?
First look at the truck - hood mirrors, and one can tell it's a company truck.
No big side windows, no cab AC - that's how company truck is done. Feel sorry for you.
I can't wait to get my time vested so I can apply for Crete
Yes! It was a very good move for us. It’s a good company. Still trucking, of course😆😆😆but a really good place to be. When the time comes, please remember to give them our referral code, SLOKEV. We’d be very grateful! Who are you with now?

I'd love to drive for Crete.looks like a good company. But I'm up here in Canada I don't think they run here.but I've given up my cdl after 50 yrs.(kinda on hold)
I Kinda like the freightliner but a new K whopper is lightly very nice too.
Congratulation on the new KW
Thank you!!!
Thank you......I was missing, yall. Nice truck. Nice company
Thank you! Yes…sorry we left you hanging…especially with that cliffhanger. We were just too busy in Canada. But now we’re back and happy to get caught up. 😃
I always said the T680 is the best looking truck. congrats. stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Hi Kevin now you are driving the same truck as big rig Becca congrats on your new rig red better suits you
Nice you got the Cummins moter!
Those new KWs are awesome looking trucks but the Freight liner seems to be roomier, better interior lighting, and more storage space.
Yeah true but the freightliners look like shit lol. Might be even worse looking than international tbh
Love the new truck Kevin always great to get a new wagon ! Can never understand why American trucks are so underpowered ? Most European trucks are 500bhp with some up as far as 770bhp Scania V8 which makes the truck far more economical love the videos 👍👍
