Yes Jeffrey Here, I won't forget ya when it comes down to re applying for Prime Inc. I hear this company loves rookie drivers! Once my contract job is up in 9 months. I am going to go for it!
I'm not speaking for anyone else......but that's a nice truck. New subscriber
Awesome!
Prime never got back to me! Starting at Swift this Wednesday. I’ll see you out there, JJ.
A built in GPS, a pull out tray on passenger side, a built in scale..those are 3 sweet things.
“You have these u-joints”
😂
Welcome to Peterbilt team. Pete air Leaf air ride suspension. That's what the space between the def tank and 100 gallon tank is for 150 gallons. Need 150 gallon tanks to go for miles and miss those high price fuel stops.
I had a 2019 589 automatic like that and am GLAD i got a new 2020 Peterbilt 13 speed flat top ungoverned and none of the buzzers going off constantly from the worn out lines in the road.
It’s neat to see a truck with bells and whistles, been in a company truck for 24 years and never see the interior how it’s intended to be. It’s amazing to me how fast the manual transmissions disappeared. Automatics were around when I started and now I guess all the bugs are worked out and boom last few years I hardly see one anymore. Nice video. Good luck to you.
Nothing like a flying purple Peter eater. Those trucks are incredible.
No Hippie is in the house
Woot Woot!
👌🏽👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
@no hippie you’re full of a lot of knowledge
if someone didnt comment on here about it or if you havent figured it out yet.. you were asking about your ac... yes your ac it you put it say 72 and press auto it will keep the cab at that temp.. good tour
This is like watching badger an skinny pete from breaking bad do a truck tour.
LOL, that would be totally awesome to have them actually do a truck tour!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Gotta give Paccar credit for doing the little things to a truck that driver's actually care about. Goes a long way
I had to giggle, I think I saw your old truck in NY today on I-90. Can't wait to run by your new truck if it ever happens.
Bet not many know where you got the name from on the door :) . Nice to see another Anne Macaffery fan :) .
The ones who know are far and few between 😁
I too also am a Anne McCaffrey Dragon Riders of Pern fan.
LOVE IT!!! Good luck with it! Hope she treats you well, makes you money and gets you home safe for years to come.
Wow… home on wheels. Thx 🙏 for video
I like the dash and setup, though I still think Volvo makes the best sleeper layouts in the business. Peters still have a ways to go imo.
Agree
No Hippie seems like a good dude to have around and know. Love the video JJ but you know we are going to need a second walk through when you are all moved in and ready to hit the road. Love the huge shield logo on the side, get the brand out there. Can’t get enough of the videos and hope you are enjoying the new rig. Can’t wait for the next video!
This was the video I saw before I saw your truck in I-80 EB in Iowa!
Right on Sam i am. Great running into you today. Glad you hit me up on the CB. 👍
Congrats JJ on the new rig! Thanks for the inspiration and informative vids you put out!! May you continue to have much success!
Thanks Ray. I appreciate that.
Nice looking Peterbilt and hope you enjoy it. I'm definitely going to miss my Peterbilt. It was great catching up with you while you where in town. Stay safe.
Hey Don. Same here. Why not get another Pete?
Congrats! I just picked up my truck yesterday (Wednesday). I was so fortunate, they had 4 brand new Peterbilts ready to go! I snagged a blue one. Spent all day getting it ready. Hopefully I'll get on my first load tomorrow. I hate I missed ya at Springfield. Safe travels!
Congrats to you too! Hope to run into you someday.
I never was fans of big trucks but now I am I need more of this😂😂
More of this on the way. Stay tuned.
Great side names, my favourite author
Nice truck bro. Even though you say its pretty much standard, it seems the standard offers a decent level of spec and the truck is very likable on the whole.
I preer dual bud spaced tires in the back anyday over super singles. But super singles are much better than they used to be, and as long as you keep them aired up properly they won't be a problem, however if they're low on air even just a little they will have a pretty good chance of blowing out. My dad worked for Flying J before they were Pilot Flying J and they had super singles there and those guy's wouldn't air them tires up and they'd just blow out left and right compared to the duals.
Yessir I’m here for another legendary video .. pray I upgrade the same as you ..
Congratulations JJ on your truck upgrade....hope it helps make your money making adventures easier....stay safe on the road brother ...we rooting for you from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Thanks Switch.
I hated super singles. I even bought a stack of tires for my trucks and trailers. And still decided I’d try super singles on my trailer. And I have to say I’ve been loving them. They ride smoother than duals on my trailer. Prime being a huge super single company. You’re perfectly fine with them.
Great feedback on those singles. Thank you.
Great tour guys! Good work!
You should check out the 22 Cascadia, it's still a freight shaker! Haha
Oh! And look at 3M DUAL LOCK, it will change your life!
They also preload the terminals they have across the states into the gps for ya ? That’s nice , they sound like a really good company video by video you put out.
I definitely like the dash layout and gauges better than the freightliner, other than the cup holders, and the smoother ride is a 100% improvement. The interior storage isn't as good or useful being it's all open without doors to keep things where they are. Maybe some nets would help?
I bought a Kenworth T680 through a bank. My truck has a little more storage in the sleeper. It has a Cummings engine and I really love my truck. Next year I'm getting my own authority. Maybe I will see you out trucking one day.
I look forward to it.
Wow, that's one nice looking 2021 UltraLoft!!!
Sooooooo Happyyyyyyyyyy to see you on your own truck. All the best.. And so much informative about the details ...thank you ... And be safe on the road
Thanks
I’d love to see a video with small clips that show an example of a complete day. From wake up to PTI, check in, drop off, daily errands and paperwork or phone calls to conduct business, repairs or truck stop, fuel, break, and whatever else. Most people do individual videos on different topics which I have learned a lot by watching, but I don’t think it shows the stress and long hours and everything all together because we watch them separately. Just a thought. Don’t want a 12 hour video but if it gave a update on each topic for a min or two I think it would make a great 30 min “day in the life of a trucker” video.
Yeah, I'd like to see a video of that too.😂
Sweet ride JJ. Nice Dragonriders of Pern copilots! Smooth sailing!
Thanks mcrams 😊
Congrats JJ!! You’re going to be very happy!! Can’t wait to see you all moved in and rolling! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks Pete
I'm in a 2020 Cascadia now and just I have just about every square inch of space filled up, I can't imagine loosing that much storage. I can't wait to see how you overcome that hurdle. I'd love to get into a Pete but the lack of storage would be the only deal breaker for me.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be Jason. The cabinets are deeper and the bunk up top is much larger. The top bunk in the Peterbilt is actually larger than the bottom bunk on the Freightliner, which made a big difference. What I really do miss is all the storage of front in the drivers in area.
Very nice JJ, you did good on your truck tour, didn't even need that guy
Thanks Alex, but of course I needed Lyle. He's a good friend and I have a ton of respect for him. It's also good to have guests on every once in awhile to appear in my videos, don't you think? 😁
@@JJtheTrucker defenetly my friend. The logos look great especially the one on the top of the truck
👍
Man I sure wish I had one of these when I was on the road. Those internationals were trash compared to this beauty
I agree! I think internationals with no respect are meant for someone that’s very short or small and really doesn’t need all that room! I’ve drove a international with no trailer and was happy and then they wanted me to attach and I said no! Hate the turn radius with the international! Almost drives like a car!
I drove everything and the kenworts and peterbuilts are just junk you will have nothing but def problems ...that and you need a football field to turn it around. I'm in a prostar and this thing turns like my camaro ss. it hits the bumps a little harder but ill live with it because its a joy getting in and out of tight spots like chicken farms and these tight ass parking at truck stops at 4 a.m.
That paint job is slicccckk!
Beautiful! 👍 So very much nicer than Freightliner. Congratulations, happy for you!
Thank you Michael
Peterbilt is the way to go. I have a 389.
JJ i'm following you and I wish you a good luck with your new Peterbilt 579.
You have been lucky. I remember when supersingles came out. It was hard to get used to. Good luck
Lmao the Wyers of Pern dragons on the truck. Nice
Always nice to hear from a Pern fan 😊👍
Many congratulations JJ ,,, 🎉🎉🎊🎊💐💐💐🍫🍫 wish you very best 👍👍👏👏👏💐💐💐
Thanks Mandeep
As far as the HVAC controls you set the temperature to where you’re comfortable and press auto end it will maintain the temperature, For example if you set it for 70°F during the day as you’re driving and the sun goes down and gets cooler out the fan speed will slow down to maintain 70! Or if it starts to get really hot out the fan will speed up to maintain that temperature!
Yeah, it works really well in the summer and I enjoyed using it however I've noticed that no matter what, it always keeps the air conditioner on. Even when it's cold out and it's heating. Seems counterproductive although I know they're just trying to keep the air dry by doing that. I would rather control it manually without the AC on during the winter. But during the summer it works very well.
You NEVER wanna stop the truck from regen if it starts by itself. If it kicks on by itself your truck is already in stage 2 and you shitting it off can mess of up as to kicking you right into stage 4 where the truck won’t go over 10/20 mph and then you need to be towed in. If it kicks on by itself it’s already been telling you to do it an you haven’t so it’s telling you to step aside it’s taking over and if you try to fight with it it’ll win and totally shut you down
So JJ, I noticed that you said that the mirrors were heated but my question to you is does that include the hood mirrors as well, are the hood mirrors heated as well as the door mirrors⁉️
I WISH! I'm actually surprised they haven't done that yet. Those really need to be heated. And power adjustable from in the cab. But alas, not yet. Maybe one of these days.
Nice peterbuilt truck JJ good luck with it safe travels 🇺🇸👍🏻🦅.
Thanks BC
Welcome to the Peterbilt club you will enjoy the truck. I went to Peterbilt when I was at Prime and have stayed with them. I will be talking delivery of a new 2021 579 ultraloft in the next week or two but the drive line is way different than what Prime specks.
Thanks David, and congratulations in advance. Originally tried to finance a truck directly from Peterbilt that was going to have the better Driveline, but that didn't work out. Are you going to be posting any videos or pictures of your new rig online? If so, please Put a link in the comments so we can all see them.
I was going to put pictures on Facebook and might do a short video on her but I will drop the like when I get everything up
Best of luck to you and your new tractor. love the color on the rig
Thanks Robert
Hi JJ you have an amazing truck! I love it! Congratulations I wish you many blessings and huge success with your new truck!
Thanks Joshua
@@JJtheTrucker your welcome!
I just started trucking and am already to quit. I m with Steven's and can't make any money. I'm broke and ready to go back to loading the trucks instead of driving one. I can do 500 to 650 away with no problem. Still broke
At Prime, I averaged $1200/ week during the slow season. It went up after C19. That was after truck payment, fuel, etc.. Before taxes and health insurance. Check them out.
You willl love it! I have the same one! In black! The ride is so comfortable!
Today was day 3 and so far, soooooooo smoooooooooooth 😊
I’m a big fan of peterbilt have driven them before and really like them and I’m am looking for truck driving job and have had my CDL class A for a while now I’m am glad you like your new truck.
Thanks Derek.
Have you considered Prime as an option?
I just signed onto my first otr company and hit the road in 2 weeks, got myself one of these beauties actually just without that sexy logo and with the x15 engine
Nice! 👍
The color of the truck really stands out and great choice going with the peterbilt
Thanks Scott.
JJ be careful with what I call the white screen of blindness. Your touch screen will act up once and a while and will reboot and will come up super bright at night. If the touch screen freezes hold your volume button and home button and it will reboot too. Look up Prime inc peterbilt.
Wow, I hadn't heard about that yet. Thank you!
@@JJtheTrucker yeah it kept happening with the 579 I had at prime but that was a 19. Never run below the red line for low fuel it will make you chew thru fuel filters quicker.
You did the right thing by getting a peterbuilt.
Thank you so much im not with prime but i just purchased my 2020 i didnt know nothing about these features..im coming from a 2015 kenworth
Horrible in the winter super singles are I'd rather have duals that my opinion though
There are definitely a lot of opinions out there about this topic. I went through all of last winter with super singles and didn't have any issues. However I do not have any experience with duals soI can't really say if one is better than the other in that aspect.
All new trucks coming into Prime come with rear dual tires, it’s how Prime gets their steer tires delivered to them.
We drive a freightliner cascadia n u sir r not lying about it being a driver shaker...OMG!!! Feels like my kidneys r gonna fall outta my butt.
We just ordered a NEW Peterbilt Ultraloft n can not wait for it to come in. I’m hoping the ride will be better a whole lot better.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Kidneys! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Butt! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Loved that perfect analogy! Lol.
Hope you like the Pete and hope yours is more reliable. 👍
I hope so too cause we just broke down in Alabama. We just made it to a Petro gotta b towed in the morning to freightliner.
How funny is this r lease is over in a few days we were heading back to prime with a load so we could turn in r truck n this happens. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😖😖😖😖😖🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Figures
Peterbilts are the best in my opinion but I'm not a big fan of the 579 I like the classic looking Pete's like the 389 but any Pete is better than a Freightliner
79tazman Freightliner classic with a Detroit 60 is good as a Pete Imo
@@RaceboyYT sound proofing in Freightliner’s is just horrible...
All the trucks are that way but the new ones are much better. The 2017 I drove was really loud. Needed a super Trucker headset. The new 2018.5-2021 models are much better and about the same as the Peterbilt.
@@RaceboyYT you know about trucks
This truck got my vote, Loved it
Beautiful! Again congratulations! Can't wait to see you out on the road!
Thanks John. I'll finally be on the road again this evening.
I'm in the process of getting my CDL I can't wait to get on the road
Love your video man keep it up
Nice truck I just got me a used project 2001 Peterbilt 387 😊 nice to c the new one
Congratulations JJ! Looks Awesome! Can't wait for your review of the Peterbuilt and pros and cons between the two.
Thanks Matthew
Did he ever do a review of the two
J. J. Congratulations again with new ride ,Health/happiness...
Thanks John
Beautiful rig no doubt. Much better channel than that one called This guy trucks. Just my opinion. One concern though. Where are you frontal tow hooks? Would suck having to screw them in after they are needed.
Thanks Michael. The hooks are in a box under my bunk. I'll just let the tow truck driver put them in if they want to use them. Last time I had a truck towed, they didn't even use them. They hook on to the frame underneath the bumper.
Let's see how you set up the TV, microwave, and fridge.
Will do. Once everything is done, I will do another vid.
I'm going to work for Stevens transport next month. Can't wait to get on the road.!!!
To flash a driver when you get cut off the button is right at the end of the stem you were flicking
That button is to flash the marker lights. It's to say thanks to someone you just moved in front of.
To flash your brights, if the lights are off, push the lever down. If the lights are on, pull the lever up and release to turn on the brights and do it again to turn off the brights. What a PITA lol
Super singles if you have a flat you stop right there. With duels if one blows or goes flat you have another one to keep it off the ground so you can get to a place to have it fixed. I would never have super singles on any truck I drove.
Charles, that is literally the only advantage of duals compared to singles. But here's the thing. If the duals go flat or bow all the way apart, you can do that. If the tread is still hanging on after the blowout, you can't do that or you'll tear everything up. When singles get a puncture, they're more likely to go flat instead of blow out, and you can still limp them to a tire place. I've had that happen twice. To me, the many other advantages outweigh this one disadvantage that may happen occasionally.
@@JJtheTrucker . JJ What I speak of about the tires is not from just guessing, but from 17 years of experence .
How's the turning in the peterbilt ? How does it compare to the frieghtliner?
The Freightliner will turn on a dime and give you a nickel back. As for the Peterbilt, sure I can turn that thing around however I will need 40 acres to do so. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@JJtheTrucker yea that's what I have heard. I've always wanted to upgrade to a peterbilt but I have heard from a bunch of other drivers that tight turns are a nightmare
You get used to it. It takes a little bit more pre-planning. It's just like going from a car to a Freightliner, there was an adjustment to be made and more pre planning to be done. Same thing Going from a Freightliner to a Peterbilt except not quite as drastic.
Prime is an awesome company
JJ that isn’t just a truck, it should be your pride and joy.if would have had that 33 years ago I’d still be turning wheels!! But I have a question. Back in the day it was a known fact that sliding the 5th wheel all the way back would make trucks ride significantly better.I don’t hear that mentioned anymore. And yes I know the axels have to scale out so sometimes you can’t slide back so much.
I haven't heard that about the ride it I had to slide it forward because the way the air hoses are set up, I broke the electric plug while turning because it was too far back. So I moved it forward to give the lines more slack.
I guess moving the trailer back reduces aerodynamics but 30+ years ago that wasn’t really thought about. Old trailers were usually spring ride and when the trailer tires hit bumps it would actually jerk the truck up and down, this was called “ trailer slap”.sliding the 5th wheel would mostly just make the ass end of the truck jerk improving ride for the driver.
HEY JJ....CONGRATULATIONS ON UR NEW TRUCK....VERY NICE....NO DISRESPECT...BUT U WERE BETTER OFF DOING UR OWN TOUR OF UR TRUCK....DUDE REALLY DIDNT KNOW MUCH MORE THAN U....OVERALL....NICE VIDEO...THANKS 4 SHARING....
I don't think he was prepared for my level of detailed OCD. I was actually very honored to have him do this tour however. He's a good friend and I've got a ton of respect for him. I love your username by the way.
Aaaaaaah man that is quality!
Such a beautiful truck bro.. Congrats 🙌
Yas! Nice job man keep at it! Congrats! I am not a truck driver but is it normal to have the RPM at 5 when the truck is in park?
Yep, Diesel engines operate at much lower rpms than gasoline engines.
Beautiful truck. All it needs is standard shift.
Lol
Newest truck Iv drove so far in the 8 years I’ve been driving is a 2011 Columbia and I’m still in it. It has 1.3 million on it. 60 series with a 10 speed
Oh, you poor thing... I just couldn't see myself doing that lol. But if it's working for you, then I'm happy for ya. But one of these days you should try out a new truck. You'll never want to go back.
JJ the Trucker that’s where I would have to disagree. I don’t need or want all the tech that new trucks have. Don’t need something to tell me how to drive. I like the look and style of old trucks. Yes I know each is there own. But that’s just me.
If it works for you, that's all that matters 😊👍
Beautiful ride man congratulations! Why does Prime make you guys run super singles?
Thanks S Diggity.
There are quite a few advantages with SS, the main ones being better fuel mileage and longer wear. As a fleet, it really adds up and overcomes the disadvantages.
On my Pete that knob is due going through the gauge cluster menus and such
Apologize if a stupid question, but how is there not a dual rear tires, yet they come with dual tires on both axles, and the. they come change both the tires and wheels.
Why is it that way? Doesn’t seem logical.
Good question. There are many advantages for super singles over dual tires. The number one reason is fuel mileage. Super singles get better fuel mileage than the duals.
JJ the Trucker - Thank you, I omitted a key word though. I meant to ask about the dual tire option... you said it wasn’t available. Why would it not be available when it ships that way, and the cost to change them.
Prime is just really big on low fuel mileage and consistency within their Fleet.
Great video JJ.. very detailed.. I’m gonna start with a lease then I’m gonna go lease purchase when I save up some $$... what was the biggest obstacle for you when changing over to your new truck?
There were a lot of obstacles, and I'll be doing some videos to details what those obstacles were at a later date. As far as the lease portion the biggest obstacle was having the truck ready for delivery. I'll be doing a video on that as well.
@@JJtheTrucker Thanks JJ.. I'll be looking out for those videos... I'm finishing up my PSD training and getting my CDL tomorrow 10/1 from Prime in Springfield, MO so wish me Luck!
Good luck Tristan 🍀🍀🍀
I believe the subwoofer under the bed is the same like mine in my 579 which I Believe is a 10 inch not 15 inches 😂😂😂
I run a 2020 kw t680 there are a few differences between the t680 and the 579 both are pretty good trucks. The only thing i dont like about my t680 is it has a mx13.
looking very nice JJ , it looks a bit smaller inside but it will be a better ride in sure andwe run a fleet of trucks with the mx13 engine and they pull well and the new gearbox has been improved , no quit and ishift in the volvo but getting there , regards from Great Britain
Thanks Dardie. I'm sure I'll get accustomed to the smaller size.
Did you know you could press your airbag raising button and lift a trailer off the ground if its dropped too high? then the airbags will return to normal height once you put it in drive..
JJ I'm a new sub and I ran across your channel and I also filled out an application and would like to know would it be too late to add your name to my app? Also how is the mpg? The pay is it mileage or cpm? What is your FSC?
My airbag switch lowers the airbags, it doesn't raise them up. They're in the fully inflated position for normal driving. I can lower them to get under a trailer that's been dropped too low, then raise them back up to the normal height, thus raising the trailer.
If your going with the blacked out grill you should look into getting the wheels powder coated black or black chrome with the tanks the same. That would look great together, actually it’ll look better that way the grill ain’t one color where chrome should be and the wheels another. It’ll all match up and look sweet. I had a WL900 Kenworth all done up with a cat, twin turbos , 18 speed, the list goes on and that thing moved like there wasn’t a load on it even when I was on the “very heavy” side of the scales. But anyways it had the wheels, tanks, and 6inch straight stacks all blacked out with the body (it was a dump truck) the same, all black chrome. The cab was a metal faked cherry red with a pearl coat over it. Man it was nice but I had to wash it every other day from going in and out of the dumps everyday . Wasn’t exactly the best kinda work for a truck that looked like that but I loved it. 😊
Where can I get that done?
Fog lights are not for night time visibility, they're for navigating in the fog.
Congrats JJ, think you're going to love it, keep on keep'n on...
Thanks Rob
I'm sooooooo happy for you!!!
Thanks Micah

I love the old PB's but Volvo are killing it right now.
Yeah, Prime is testing them right now for cost of ownership. Hopefully they'll pass and maybe my next truck will be a Volvo. Who knows? I just hope they will figure out their body defect issues. Every Volvo that I see on the road that is more than a few years old has a lot of body and paint issues. The interior really looks nice though.
Nice looking truck inside and out
