Congratulations Alex. They know how well you take care of the equipment.
All he needs to do now is read the manual before he drives LOL.
@@andrewbarnes4872 They do have great equipment
@@andrewbarnes4872well they do have good equipment… but they gave him that truck as a way to market the company because of his fan base and views … so it’s a symbiotic relationship
@andrewbarnes4872 good for him either way lol
@@andrewbarnes4872haters gonna hate.
That truck is really nice and has what I call a Bently Grill. The company seems to like what you do for them and are going out to make you feel really good about working there. Being the considerate and kind person you portray for them is promotion in itself. Keep up the good work be safe and enjoy the road.
It's crazy watching you finally getting your dream truck! I've been watching for about a year now, so it's amazing to finally see you achieve your dream! You definitely deserved it!
its not his tho is it? how is it his and its the same truck as all the other ones working for the company? they let him use that brand new truck for his job or did he buy the truck and get it wrapped
@@cricketfilms1879 He didn't buy it. His company gave it to him to use, like his previous Cascadia. He does not own it, pretty much.
@@cricketfilms1879it's 100% not his. And it's not custom. I don't think he even knows what custom means. All those exact models have the same exact features. Plus he works for the company. So most ppl don't have the money to buy a brand new truck, just to drive it for 1 company that doesn't pay no where as good as if you owned your truck and was a contractor not an employee
Alex, I'm so proud that you got your customized truck. You need to give it a name
All trucks have to have a woman’s name. That’s just the way it is and has always been
That or giddy up go
Name it Speedy Gonzales 😂
Wow Alex, well done! I don't think any company is just going to give anyone a unit like that unless they hold you in high regard! Good for you Alex.
Honestly, do you think that he's the only one that got a new truck? Think of the problems that would create with the drivers that have been there longer. Sometimes I can't believe how naive people are.
@@bcwam haha I'm not naive! I have no doubt the other drivers who got a new truck ( if they did) probably deserved it too or maybe just ended up up with one because of fleet renewal it doesn't matter! He says it's a dream truck, and I'm happy for him or anyone that gets the things they work hard for. Did you not get a new truck? Why do you come here to be negative? Bitter?
More likely he got it because he’s got a big channel
@@pridemizzle1565 I bet that helped also.
Uhh yes they are?? Lol specially when one of their drivers has almost 1millions subs on youtube that means they got eyes on that company too, any driver doing good with over 1 year with the. Would do that and a big company like that lol... not hard to believe at all. Not sure what company or who he works for but it helps the company get workers forsure.
I remember how bummed Alex was when he started with the Freightliner. It's nice to see a company take care of it's employees.
He’s an influencer for the company… why wouldn’t they give him preferential treatment? The question is why don’t you recognize this kind of treatment isn’t for every employee
@@BulletBoyGamingand don’t forget he probably gets pay by the company just to promote them.
Is a Chicagoland company so you can bet he gets premium treatment just because his subscriber count
If you haven't figured out to spin the passangerseat around yet, I think you need to pull the seat far forward, even maybe lean the backrest a bit forward so it doesn't get stuck in the wall or refrigerator
Your attention to detail in regards to equipment safety is commendable. I've been driving 30 plus years and millions of miles. I still get out and look. Congratulations.
The shore power is for when you are around a place that has power hooked up to the grid or go to a campsite to keep your batteries charged without needing to idle or run an APU. The other plug looks like an engine block heater
I’m excited and happy for you man. That’s a really awesome looking truck. Drive safe brother!
Congratulations! I know this was your dream for a long time. You must have recruited lots of new drivers to rate this top-of-the-line ride!
honestly well deserved. with the amount of content you pump out WHILE being a trucker (which 90% of people cant do.. well), and the fact that you give GP transco so much free advertising, they best be giving you a bloody kenworth. congrats!
One video pumped out every two weeks is hardly productive youtubing. I put out content daily and truck full time.
Honestly his content is boring!!
@@scottied67ok then you are part of the 10% but most can’t do every day good job.
With all the complaining of bad tires and having them all replaced, on whom knows how many trailers, stopping at every truck stop he's near. He has no content to put out cause he's not working, he's waiting!!!
and you arent even half the trucker he is @@scottied67
I ain't a trucker, but I have played enough American Truck Sim to know that you being a Kenworth man means you're a man of culture and high regard. Congratulations & cheers my guy!
Same bro
Its a plastic kenworth though, not a w9. Doesn't count
@@MrFTBL2000 Its still a kenworth
KENNY HAS BEEN RESURRECTED!!
Hey my name is Connor
Alex it even has a battery compartment. Door
Nice video. Don’t say God and Jesus Name I Vain it’s a sin. God and Jesus Loves and Bless you all in Jesus Christ Holy Mighty and Powerful Name we all Pray Amen🙏❤️ Don’t be mean it’s not nice and you don’t gain anything from it.
The only one that has been resurrected is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and King who died for our sin and God rose from the dead three days later for our sins and is brought up into Heaven and is sitting in the right hand Throne of God making interssions for all of us every single day Amen Praise the Lord thank you God and Jesus🙏❤️
@@isaiahjones5759I really like ur enthusiasm about Christianity and yes I’m a Christian but this is about a kenworth nickname “Kenny” and it’s a joke from the commenter about the video
Dude, FYI shore power is not to supply power to grill with from the truck..
You plug into the shore power to power the electric accessories inside the truck like your fridge.
That way when you're on home time and the truck is off for a couple days the shore power keeps everything running in the truck (like the fridge) and charges the batteries. It's like plugging a cellphone charging cable into your cellphone.
Good luck finding a shore line cord to plug into it. One side of the plug goes up and down and the other goes side to side like this ( - l ). You Will probably have to get a chord from the Kenworth dealership for shore power.
There is also an engine block heater plug beside the shore power. You plug it in to electric to keep the engine block and the diesel warm to make starting the truck easier in cold climates.
Very happy for you, Alex! You're a great guy and it seems your company appreciates you very much, enough to upgrade your truck to a fantastic, limited edition model!
Congratulations! Well earned, I'd say!
Hey Alex, it was awesome meeting you at the Loves in Wisconsin (I-90). The new Kenny looks nice up close. I appreciate the time you took to talk about and take a pic. Keep the vids coming! JohnnyO
This is awesome, Alex! Can't believe they gave you the 100 Year Anniversary Edition. Good to know your company really appreciates you
Alex! I’m so happy you’re back in a KW!! We all know how much you missed Kenny and now you have a brand new Kenny! Stay safe! 😊
I love hearing your excitement and happiness with your new ride, happy new year Alex! Stay safe and keep on trucking!!!
Ah. I remember seeing that KW in the yard and was wondering who would get it. Congrats, Alex.
You should file a case with management , we have been driving for years and don’t get good equipment. How does he get it when he hardly drives !! I will be pushing for a lawsuit .
@@georgephilip6216 he must provide more value to the company than you do.
@georgephilip6216 Okay, seriously? I have a 2024 FL after just 3 months of working for GP. I can get you not liking GP, so don't work here. Plain and simple, actually. The dispatchers are great, the pay is great, and everything in between. So what if they treat Alex a little bit better? He does great work for the company and also pushes the limit, showing off how good GP is. If not for him, I wouldn't even be at GP today. I don't like it when other truckers put each other down.
Congratulations Alex glad to see you finally got your KW, also happy to see a new video. GP knows how well you take care of the equipment be safe
Congratulations Alex! I remember when I bought a 1994 Kenworth T600 brand new! It was an amazing tractor! Mine had a double sunroof. A 3406 E Caterpillar engine 435 horsepower and a Fuller 13 speed over drive manual transmission. The cab was on air ride back then. I was leased to Warren Transport out of Waterloo Iowa. I’m happy for you! You will definitely enjoy that! Mark in Iowa.
That is a sexy truck, no one deserves it more than you man, I been following you for about two years seeing how you hustle out there for the company, and they know it. Congrats bro!!!
Tune in next week when Alex shows us his new Crocs that match the interior of his truck. Fabulous!!
Congratulations on the new truck man. Well deserved. Happy trucking.
Happy New Year Alex !! Congratulations on getting your wish come true , its well deserved and I Love it. So glad that GP is treating you well and as always you get the job done and put out great videos. Eres un orgullo Alex !! ❤😃🎉🌟✌
There are two types of regen, Passive and Active. Passive is when you are driving at speeds above 50 mph. Active is when the tractor is parked. It won't regen below 50 mph; in other words idling around at 5 mph is going to kick it out of Active regen.
Happy New Year! 🎉
Congrats on the very nice new tractor. You didn’t show us under the hood
Good ole Electrolux 😆that’s how they parked the trailers next door at Macy’s too.. had to drag it out because you couldn’t get in to crank up the landing gear or find the shag driver
Sometimes for the fifth wheel release button you have to hold it down to release.. it’ll beep a few times, then you hear it disengage
Been watching you since the beginning and i'm real proud of what u acomplished. Hope you keep the amazing work and have a happy life!
Hearing you so happy is so awesome! Congrats on the new truck!!!
Glad to see you back, happy 2024, and congrats on the new truck! It's surely a beauty of a truck.
Congratulations on your new ride.... Now... time to make it your own..... Nice going Alex... Great way to start the New Year
So glad to see you back trucking! Just came across your channel a month ago, like the content and perspective!
It’s amazing how well they treat the CZcamsrs. I noticed that when I worked there. They all got special treatment all cuz they have a CZcams channel.
Cause if they have a big following they could impact the company
@@godussop391 I know. I worked there when they had several CZcamsrs working for them. They all got special treatment. Everyone of em. Even though they all left within a year says snuff about them. It’s free advertising for GP. Still a great company to work for. Had no complaints!!!
I know right!
Congrats Alex. You’ve worked hard and proved your worth. You were like a kid on Christmas morning learning how your new toy works.
Saw this KW 100 in another truckers video when they were at MATS last year. Nice that your company pays for a rig with these upgrades on it like this. Happy for you.
Very nice truck! My company also just upgraded me to a new 2024 Kenworth T680 sleeper from my 2019 Volvo and i've only worked there 10 months. My first Kenworth. They are way nicer than the Freightliners and Volvos that i'm use to. Congratulations man.
Alex congratulates bro!! You now have Kenny again! (But in blue this time) I love the little details that Kenworth did to this truck and that really makes it stand out. I love the truck and I hope you do as well!!!
Our favorite trucker is back
🎉Thank you GP for getting Alex this fancy Kemworth! Yay Alex! Enjoy and be safe. ❤
Congrats! Absolutely a wonderful truck
Wow that's a great looking truck congratulations on getting a new truck Alex.
I had a '23 Kenworth t680 that was very much the same as what you have now, and it's really one of the only things I consistently miss from driving OTR, it's a beautiful and incredibly comfortable truck. Freightliner really doesn't even come close to the feel of driving the Kenworth. But, my current Freightliner day cab is worth being home daily and off on weekends I guess...
Congrats
Type in on you tube the reviews of that make and model truck and it will show you everything inside and out.
I love doing that for my new trucks!
Loved the video. Happy to hear you are love your new 680. I work for Kenworth and we send close to 200 trucks out a day. Very cool to see the customer on the other end. Stay safe out there, my friend and congratulations.
That's awesome, gp taking care of you cause they see how well you take care of them and their equipment. Congratulations
Congratulations man. That is a beautiful truck that you got there
If the vlog was a bit longer you'd find Alex start hating this new ride 😂
Amazing machine; GP is smart for giving it to you!
Happy New Year Alex! Congratulations on the new truck!👍
Wish we could have seen your reaction when they told you it was yours. Congrats man!
This truck is so beautiful 😍😍😍
What a beautiful truck - so glad for you! That parking spot was crazy small. You are always so careful - no wonder they gave you that brand new and limited edition.
Congratulations!! You deserve it. Nice truck!!
If only this kenworth had a limiter on how much you can use your hazards.
And a limit to how many gallon jugs of piss to carry in the passenger floor...
You people are so triggered it's pathetic....hazards are for safety.... He can't control the tone of how loud they are so deal with it
Hi Alex's lover!@@truckercowboyed2638
@@truckercowboyed2638 It’s not how loud they are lmao. He has been driving over 2 years and still acts like a complete rookie. Dude really was trying to swivel the seat with the back of the seat against the side of the truck lol.
@@TonyMontanaXxyou are wasting your time responding to brokeback cowboy, Alex's buggery boyfriend
The grill on your new truck looks awesome the whole truck awesome loving the color congratulations congratulations
Congratulations man !!! Love my T-680. Definitely deserve it 💯🙏🏾
Sweet my boy, enjoy the heck out out of that big rig!
Awesome truck Alex ! Enjoy the new Kenny . Be safe out their .
CONGRATULATIONS, ALEX!!! YOU DESERVE IT!!!
As a Kenworth driver myself, I recommend that you call your new truck Kenny MK2! Congrats man! I drive the old school style W900.
Happy New Year Alex! Nice truck! Long time no see!
Congrats! After switching from a 23 KW at CFI to a Freightliner, here the only thing the kenworth wins is aesthetics I’ll take a Freightliner any day!
T680: “it feels quality, not cheap” 😂😂
Well do I have something for you to check out. It’s called the W900 lol
So beautiful!!! :) Congratulations Alex! :) All the best to you be safe know your limit and always have an out. :)
Awesome rig they gave you. They know you’ll take good care of it
Happy New Year
Congrats on new KW...you deserve it! Roll safe out there!
Great to hear how happy and content you are to be back in a Kenworth.
the 100th anniversary grill looks particularly nice and those sports blustered seats look super comfy too.
Congratulations on the new truck. Must mean that you are well liked and doing something right you’re living the dream great job and thank you. We all know what kind of crazies you have to deal with every day on the road to keep this country moving.
This is incredible!!! Congratulations on the beautiful new truck!!!
Bet it has injector problems. I’m a diesel mechanic and paccar has been having problems with injectors for the past five years
I saw a GP truck on the road a few days ago and I thought... 'Is that Alex?'
Then I realized it was 7pm.
lol
That's a nice truck. I've always liked GP's colors.
Wow thats a gorgeous truck love it ...yo it definitely should be pulling a flatbed or stepdeck behind it. Dryvan doesn't do that beautiful truck justice...love the videos Alex
I think he’s the only one with a kw I didn’t see a single one there but his
I like how he says “ I haven’t been in KW for a long time”… yet he’s only been driving for 3 years max….
Yeah. Hate to tell him for all the bells and whistles it’s still a throw away truck
HAPPY NEW YEARS ALEX 🎊 CONGRATULATIONS
I just got a brand new Kenworth also and the Jake brake doesn't work below 35 mph so you might want to get your shop to lower it with the computer. I got mine lowered to 10
Beautiful truck! Congratulations!
congrats on the new truck you deserve it
Nice man! Happy for you! I enjoy your videos all the time!
Long live the KW gang!! Happy for you man!
41:10 So usually Alex, before you push the button, you need to pull the red knob and push backwards a little to release tension in the kingpin. Then set your brakes, then push the fifth wheel release button. Then just lower your bags and creep forward.
His 90 day trainer never told him that trick...
@@scottied67no you're right but the CDL manual does LOL well at least the part about pushing back against the kingpin to relieve pressure on the locking jaws part.
Congratulations on the new KW Truck Alex
That smell you're smelling is the paint and other chemicals burning off for the first time. The engine and exhaust getting hot, it's normal.
Congratulations Alex on your new truck
The intro is one of a kind. Alex I freakin love your personality
Congrats on the new Truck! Looks great!
Alex, the reason it is finicky is because the trailer and truck have to be taught. Meaning it has to be tight in order for it to release. If you set your trailer brakes and pull forward just a little bit, set your truck brakes and then pull with the manual inside your truck. It will work every time unless it frozen obviously
Awesome truck. Congrats
Very nice! Now you gotta get a Big High Power CB Radio and get the Dual Coil Predator Antennas, I run a 1000 Watt Carl built 8pill Amp, hook it up man
Clearly an award for being such a good, detailed driver.... with almost 1 Million subscribers. Congratulations. You are making your company look very good and providing them with free visibility. Win Win for everyone. Enjoy!
No, he pretty much told the company to get him a kw or he walks. From what I hear be likes to complain a lot at the company.
So happy for you Alex!🎉
Besides the great truck content brotha... your music taste is ON POINT! Respect man 🙏
You need to put the truck on high idle when your parked so that it doesn’t need to regen so much
Burns more fuel but it’s worth it, you would still be better if you installed a APU or another type of generator, a 10,000 dollar investment is better than having to throw away money in repairs.
I am laughing thinking about all the other Gp drivers saying how the fuck when a kw drives by. LOL
Who else thought him singing was him having a stroke?
Love that totally nice lot of accessories great content keep trucking
Congratulations on the new truck. I know how long you've wanted one.😊
