This is the first video I saw of yours Trucker Josh and instantly fell in love with you (not literally), your dog and how you teach your viewers about your truck and the trucker's life!! :)
Hey Josh, Just starting up with a New Trucking company and they just gave me my first Pete. 2013 386 18 speed. Took it home for a small trip and sort of get an idea how she is.. So far I enjoy it. Monday I'm off too Brantforrd and then down too Defiance OH for my first trip. Looking forwards too it. Once I get settled I will start shooting some footage as well. Safe drive Josh.
That's an exhaust brake. I've got one in my 2-ton, it uses pressure from the exhaust to slow the engine (AFAIK) and is different from engine/compression brakes. Mine only activates over 50km/h. And this is easily the most informative "interior tour" video I've seen. You go over all the gauges and stuff. Most truckers who do these videos just assume we all know what they are talking about.
Very nice truck Josh. I'm Jealous. Peterbilt will always be my first choice in semi tractors. My second would be Freightliner. The cascadias, and columbias are both very nice. I passed my test in a columbia so those tractors will always be special to me. I was hoping to to see the inside of the tractor at some point and now I have so thank you so much for showing. Take care and be safe.
Love your show Josh going to cdl school come next month. Been thinking about trucking for a good while. Watching your shows has helped me in my decision seeing everyday life.
Thanks, Josh, for posting this cool video of your rig! So many of these vehicles are like mini rolling land yachts. I am glad that these truck manufacturers have thought of the truckers, who drive these beauties and made life on the road, more comfortable and more cost effective, so truckers don't have to shell out so much money, on the road, for food and lodging. I like your rig, as it is comfortable looking and not too over the top. Have a great week and may you always stay safe out there, on the roads, Sir. =)
DEF. Diesel Exhaust Fluid. It is a liquid urea that get injected into the exhaust to clean the soot out of the system. If you noticed newer trucks do not blow black smoke like the older good old days. That is because the exhaust gets recirculated hence the soot and the need to clean. With the def.
Hi Josh, The button you didn't know about is a def purge so up is what drivers use and down is what a mechanic would talk you through. I hate Def , causes more fuel pump failures than anything I know. That stuff about smokers and ashtrays. On the drivers side in the sleeper are cup holders, 3 I think. Well we buy these little black cups that fit in those, so no problem. Stay safe
What does DEF have to do with the fuel pump? Never had a fuel pump failure on any of the trucks I have driven for the last 8 years. DEF is introduces to the exhaust after the particulate filter, not mixed with diesel fuel.
my dads freightliner cascadia in the cab i am about 5 '4" and i can stand comfrontably and in the sleeper it is about 6" tall very roomy! nice vid Josh
Instead of a fan, you should get an APU unit it runs A/C and your heater while your truck is not running. It uses hardly any fuel. It is well worth the cost. BTW, nice truck!
Its your home away from home. heck its a lot nicer than many homes Eh?, a gorgeous truck josh. I am impressed. I had a 97 peterbilt 379. had her dressed up. was almost too comfy to leave when it came time to return to the house
Nice Truck Josh, The fuel pumps you used in this video are from the 1985 they pump 30 gallon of fuel per min. They were designed for full service only not for public use because when they fell out the tank it would a major hazmat problem then the fire department is called out. then OHSA called out. Great Video EH!
Hey Will thanks for explaining. I heard that term a few times in various trucker vlogs and wondered what it stood for, and what it was used for. Thanks for explaining.
i drive a peterbilt boom truck at work and that first button to the right of the steering column is supposed to be something having to do engine compartment heat. I've only had to use the button once in six years but the dashlight went out after a few seconds of me holding the button in.
Thanks for the tour. Quite a lot of room. You had a lot of electrical devices running there but I didn't hear the APU running. Are you running the fridge, cooler and lights on the batteries alone? Give Diesel a hug from a dog lover here in the States.
A great video; Stumbled upon your site with the help of CZcams’s “recommended for you”. However I wish you were a ham radio operator! That said; I do plan to visit your site, and I like your dog. As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video. ~M~
Thank you for that tour around your truck Josh. Where is the piece of rope that hangs down beside the driver that you pull to honk them horns? Here in the Uk our speed is in MPH but the trucks have KMH as the main reading on the dials. Its because mainland Europe where the trucks are built ( Volvo, Scania, DAF, Mercedes etc ) and its all KMH over there. The UK is an island and islanders dont like to be bossed around by big brother Europe :-)
Josh, The old 27MHz CBs have lost their popularity her in Australia however they are still in a lot of trucks. Australian Truck Drivers mainly use UHF CBs these days as they have a lot clearer signal & you don't get all that static like in the old 27MHz Models. The UK is suppose to be a METRIC Country however they still refer to speed in Miles per Hour. I have no idea why but to me it would be a lot more confusing having both.
Hi folks, When I lived in Holland, DAF stood for Durfen Automobile Fabrik, which is a Dutch automobile/truck maker., Then that would make North American re distributor of those vehicle. regards, Scotty
The Pete's that I have drove are good solid trucks that last. I don't find them very comfortable though. I find Volvo the most comfortable, but the ones I have driven were hopelessly full of electrical problems. Anyway, it takes a dedicated man to drive a truck for what they pay these days. Safe driving.
Not true. I've only ever seen ONE place ever that used CB for shipping receiving purposes. And you tell them you don’t have a CB and they take your phone number and call you instead
Nice video. Sweet ride. Just in the process of (hopefully) going from CAT to Celadon myself. Apparently the Internationals Celadon has are similarly equipped to your Pete. What engine do you have in it? Be safe. And to a previous poster, I believe DAF is owned by PACCAR, the company that makes Peterbilt and Kenworth, and owns Pacific Trucks (a Canadian off road truck manufacturer, if they're still around).
These guys give me a real laugh. I started driving in 1946 back when it was DRIVING. The average truck back then had 120 horses and the really big engines were 150 Cummins. It was an adventure and not just getting on an interstate and following the white line. Not boasting but the drivers now really don't know what they've missed.
Richard Cunningham There's a few bits of US101 in northern California that still haven't been improved, and there's a bit they use to call "the slab" which was a bridge out from the side of the mountain over a huge drop to the Eel River. By modern standards it is just about one good lane wide. Now that is closed, most of 101 is at least improved and long distance traffic takes I5. But bits of road like that make you realize how intrepid a trucker in the 30s would have to have been.
Obviously you've been there and you can rest assured that those old guys, all gone now, led an adventurous life back in the '20s and '30s. My dad and some of his old buddies would tell some pretty wild stories about their adventures on the road. At times I thought I had it tough but when I think of them driving those old pneumonia breeders that didn't have heaters or even doors or windshields I realize what real men they were. 30 or 40 Hp. hauling 20 or 25 ton on full trucks and trailers with vacuum brakes.
cageordie Just got to thinking about what I call amateurs wrote not long ago. He was giving me a hard time because I said I had over 40 years experience. In his last post about driving the ridge route that for some reason they now call the entire stretch of road grapevine he told of his great experience that made him some kind of expert. He told of how he drove his motor home over the hill a couple of times. I guess he's some kind of wantabee. A real joke. I just hope if he comes back to California he doesn't go through Arizona. Things have been pretty safe here lately.
Richard Cunningham I am no professional driver. My father had a class 1 HGV license in Britain and drove a Guy Big J4 (complete POS but at least it had a heater), so I have met some old hardware, but not the pre-windows sort. I used to drive horse boxes for fun and necessity, but those were only rated 16,800 pounds. Mostly I drove a 1976 Bedford TK with a 6 cylinder diesel that was rated around 75hp new and was pretty tired when I met it around 1993, my mechanic said it was a repurposed fire truck because they were the only ones that got the integrated chassis oiler. To get first I had to lean against the door (right hand drive) to get leverage. The gate was not straight and the springs in the selector were all shot, as were the synchros. So getting 3rd to 2nd on a hill was almost impossible. Fortunately 1st was a crawler and I only ever had to stop on a hill once. Flat out at 50mph. Fastest I ever saw was 63 by sticking to the tail of a container truck out of Felixstowe. But even that had comparatively decent power compared to the trucks they drove back in the 40s and 50s. And I only drove it on good roads.
cageordie Seems like you had a lot of "fun" driving that thing. But you have to do what you have to do. As for me I enjoyed what I did but didn't have much in common with the people who haul freight, etc. I drove heavy equipment, mostly 7 axles and had 42 tires on the road. Much of the time the truck I drove had a gross weight of somewhere around 180,000 pounds. Started out as a swamper (helper) and worked my way up. In my opinion the drivers of today actually miss so much in the profession by just going to school for a few weeks then being turned loose on the public. And I can't see very much adventure in simply getting on an interstate and going from point A to point B.
When I see this sleeper I fall in love, but the driver place in american trucks in my opinion a apsolut no go! I would like to see what the trucks would be like here in europe if they could have this lengh, that would be the perfect truck!
Definitely a class A operation going-on here. Also Diesel, tell your driver, he does a good job too. Hey Josh, will you explain what DEF is. Is it something that mixes with the fuel for emissions? How often do you have to fill it?
You said your parking brakes wrong reds tractor and all "Truckers" have radios in their cabs. But kool video and very sweet ride what kind of fuel mpg do you get
Josh, which would you rather have? Your new peterbilt or your kenworth? I feel personally the kenworth looked abit more comfortable. Maybe because of the windows it had
There's an area somewhere on that dash that has a bunch of Switches that are very important.. I'm not sure just where they are on that dash.. When you use them they don't do anything.. They are called the Never-Mind Switches.. I think they are on the Pull-out Mini-Dash.. lol.. Let me know when you find them....... hehehe.. The Newfies know where to find that Pull-out, Mini-Dash.. One of them is the switch that keeps the Salt Cod from freezing..
I love Pete's always have and always will... but I have to say I'm fairly fond of my Cascadia right now I'm 6'4 and I can literally jump and not hit my head but the ride and is no where near peterbilt comfort level... this is my first time to watch your videos so who are you driving for or contracted with?
Very nice rig. How much do o/o actually make? I was thinking of going to school myself and o/oafter a year or so of company. I know there are things unknown to me so was wondering average net pay.
Black diesel smoke if from over fueling the engine. Poorly adjusted computer settings or else you're driving a pre computerized engine management system. Guys that get a Bully Dog and turn it up until it smokes black are just shortening the engine life.
you talked about managing your average miles per gallon, and when it was low you could do different stuff to get that back up. What are some of the things you do to improve gas mileage? i didnt see a qualcomm in your truck. Do you use paperlogs? And do you still call disptach for your loads?
Hi!! Please tell me: why the American Trucks dont have a Automatic Transmision Gear BOX????!!!! I Ask because here Europe - Germany - all the Trucks are Automatics-- Mercedes - Volvo - Scania etc... Thank you waiting for answer
That button is a DPF (diesel particulate filter) Regeneration Cycle start switch, the truck will sense when it needs a regen and signal the driver, if the driver doesn't perform a regen it will derate (lower power) and then shut off the engine. Here, have a video with many acronyms: /watch?v=fNO-oUHmKXU
My brother's rig has a muffler for the engine brake. Keeps it much quieter. Many towns and cities in the US have laws prohibiting engine braking due to the noise it creates. It also has another ratehr nefarious purpose. If a guy driving a tractor trailer rig cannot engine brake, chances are the town he's entering is a speed trap. These little jerkwater towns just LOVE to hand oput speeding citations. Prohibiting engine braking helps the cops fill their ticket quotas. Damn straight cops have to fill ticket quotas.
Am from south African and I must say I like ur posts they show me wht trucking is all about
This is the first video I saw of yours Trucker Josh and instantly fell in love with you (not literally), your dog and how you teach your viewers about your truck and the trucker's life!! :)

hi i am trucker josh... i just love when these rookies get on here

@ 06:00 Regen Exhaust. Switch 💨 Thankyou for the truck tour 😀 Jan.23.2024

Love your show Josh going to cdl school come next month. Been thinking about trucking for a good while. Watching your shows has helped me in my decision seeing everyday life.
I learn something from u .That teaching about the truck josh is great for me an nice watching u i will be in Canada soon josh.
Thanks, Josh, for posting this cool video of your rig! So many of these vehicles are like mini rolling land yachts.

That stuff about smokers and ashtrays.
On the drivers side in the sleeper are cup holders, 3 I think. Well we buy these little black cups that fit in those, so no problem.

What does DEF have to do with the fuel pump?
Never had a fuel pump failure on any of the trucks I have driven for the last 8 years.
DEF is introduces to the exhaust after the particulate filter, not mixed with diesel fuel.
that button on the left top is a manual regen button for the ext regensystem nice truck-- stay safe
my dads freightliner cascadia in the cab i am about 5 '4" and i can stand comfrontably and in the sleeper it is about 6" tall very roomy! nice vid Josh
fyi, def does not control soot, the dpf (diesel pariculate filter) does, def converts nox to nitrogen and water vapor. great vids josh!
I have a 2012 pete 386 flatop. Very similar to yours minus some guages and the extra room. They are nice rides.
Instead of a fan, you should get an APU unit it runs A/C and your heater while your truck is not running. It uses hardly any fuel. It is well worth the cost. BTW, nice truck!
Very nice! Wish we got gear like that over here
The UK still does MPH, not just America,
Well am I glad I found this channel! Just when I thought I had bled CZcams dry of anything that interested me.
Its your home away from home. heck its a lot nicer than many homes Eh?, a gorgeous truck josh. I am impressed. I had a 97 peterbilt 379. had her dressed up. was almost too comfy to leave when it came time to return to the house
we use mph in the uk.
Nice Tour Josh!
exhaust system regeneration is what that switch was for. if the light comes on park the truck safely leave it running and flip the switch
I think most apartments in Japan are smaller than that truck interior. Awesome tour.
Nice Truck Josh, The fuel pumps you used in this video are from the 1985 they pump 30 gallon of fuel per min. They were designed for full service only not for public use because when they fell out the tank it would a major hazmat problem then the fire department is called out. then OHSA called out. Great Video EH!
Thanks for showing the inside of your truck.
couldn't have explained it better myself!
Nice tour!
Hey Will thanks for explaining. I heard that term a few times in various trucker vlogs and wondered what it stood for, and what it was used for. Thanks for explaining.
tanks for the visite i love the interior of your peterbilt! I want one!
Great video Josh.. Awesome rig.. Hope you have alot of great driving ahead.
i drive a peterbilt boom truck at work and that first button to the right of the steering column is supposed to be something having to do engine compartment heat. I've only had to use the button once in six years but the dashlight went out after a few seconds of me holding the button in.
You are one of the few that have stick shift now,since more and more rigs are being made with autoshift.
Great tour. Especially of the gauges!
At 5:58 the switch is to manulualy start your parked regen of the DPF filter or when you hit stop it will make the engine stop the regen process
Que buen peterbilt amigo. Soy de argentina. Aca no se ven muchos trucker americanos. Saludos.
That's really nice interior, looks confortable
I would love that...it's a brand new company truck so I'm just happy they let me take my dog along...don't wanna rock the boat and demand one
AWESOME TOUR of the rig! Loved it! As a Canadian, I'm old school and can't stand metric. None of it makes sense to me. How are you on the Ice Roads?
Select the wrench icon, then go to "more". Find the LED icon and select off. I have a Hero2, but I doubt there's a difference.
That "storage" area in the middle of the upper front (above the windshield) is the CB compartment.
Thanks for the tour. Quite a lot of room. You had a lot of electrical devices running there but I didn't hear the APU running. Are you running the fridge, cooler and lights on the batteries alone? Give Diesel a hug from a dog lover here in the States.
A great video; Stumbled upon your site with the help of CZcams’s “recommended for you”. However I wish you were a ham radio operator! That said; I do plan to visit your site, and I like your dog. As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video. ~M~
Actually the US isn't the only country still using miles per hour for it's speed limits; so does Great Britain.
Bout time you slacker ;) Lol I love the interiors most of trucks because that is where you are spending most of your time, ya know?!
Thank you for that tour around your truck Josh. Where is the piece of rope that hangs down beside the driver that you pull to honk them horns? Here in the Uk our speed is in MPH but the trucks have KMH as the main reading on the dials.

the middle box up front in the cab is also for a cb.
Hi Josh
We have always used M P H in the U K on all our vehicles
Good video Josh ! Thanks
Thank you for tour of you truck, I hope I can a nice truck like that someday. I am from canada and I speak English:)
hi josh,diesel,we have miles per hour on our clock here in uk.good video by the way
Cute dog. That was a good tour.
Really enjoy your video trucker Josh ! GG
Hi folks, When I lived in Holland, DAF stood for Durfen Automobile Fabrik, which is a Dutch automobile/truck maker., Then that would make North American re distributor of those vehicle. regards,
Scotty
you can turn the gopro light off in the settings... Just a little heads up
9:06 Nice 13 speed truck.
Great video, thanks mate.
Makes me think of a car. The dash, the cupholders, sunvisors, radio etc lol
Nice Truck Josh....
Thanks I actually learned a few things from this vid.
The Pete's that I have drove are good solid trucks that last. I don't find them very comfortable though. I find Volvo the most comfortable, but the ones I have driven were hopelessly full of electrical problems. Anyway, it takes a dedicated man to drive a truck for what they pay these days. Safe driving.
ur doing great job
nice truck, looks comfy. time will tell how reliable it is.
Lots of customers requires cb to call you for pick up or unloading. it's a must.
Not true. I've only ever seen ONE place ever that used CB for shipping receiving purposes. And you tell them you don’t have a CB and they take your phone number and call you instead
Indeed but it depends I guess of your customers. Once I did not have a cb and I missed my turn to a door. Cool vids by the way.
hey trucker josh add me on Facebook please
Nice truck Josh
The British also use speed in miles per hour.Stay safe Mirek from UK.
Nice truck Josh.
Nice video. Sweet ride. Just in the process of (hopefully) going from CAT to Celadon myself. Apparently the Internationals Celadon has are similarly equipped to your Pete. What engine do you have in it? Be safe.
And to a previous poster, I believe DAF is owned by PACCAR, the company that makes Peterbilt and Kenworth, and owns Pacific Trucks (a Canadian off road truck manufacturer, if they're still around).
Thats a kick ass pete!
I drive a 10 sp cascadia!
on the cocahala in bc in the winter the cb is used alot
Sweet Pete Josh.
These guys give me a real laugh. I started driving in 1946 back when it was DRIVING. The average truck back then had 120 horses and the really big engines were 150 Cummins. It was an adventure and not just getting on an interstate and following the white line. Not boasting but the drivers now really don't know what they've missed.
Richard Cunningham There's a few bits of US101 in northern California that still haven't been improved, and there's a bit they use to call "the slab" which was a bridge out from the side of the mountain over a huge drop to the Eel River. By modern standards it is just about one good lane wide. Now that is closed, most of 101 is at least improved and long distance traffic takes I5. But bits of road like that make you realize how intrepid a trucker in the 30s would have to have been.
Obviously you've been there and you can rest assured that those old guys, all gone now, led an adventurous life back in the '20s and '30s.

I love your videos!! Great driving and let the haters hate, keep those videos coming!
I've got a Hero2 and can turn the red blinking light off in the settings. You should be able to do the same on the Hero3.
truly enjoyed your videos, love your comedic comments, so I slapped that subscribe button in the face. keep up the excellent vlogs. your a boss eh
Definitely a class A operation going-on here. Also Diesel, tell your driver, he does a good job too.
Hey Josh, will you explain what DEF is. Is it something that mixes with the fuel for emissions? How often do you have to fill it?
def is in europe adblue i think nice truck josh here in holland no peterbilt/ kenworth
but DAF/MAN/VOLVO/SCANIA/MERCEDES/IVECO/RENAULT
Nice video bro.
acadian nice truck josh and disel nice dog
You said your parking brakes wrong reds tractor and all "Truckers" have radios in their cabs.
But kool video and very sweet ride what kind of fuel mpg do you get
lol yeah I know, now I gotta get the truck clean and get the exterior video done
I just started watching Do you bring your dog with everywhere
Josh, which would you rather have? Your new peterbilt or your kenworth? I feel personally the kenworth looked abit more comfortable. Maybe because of the windows it had
There's an area somewhere on that dash that has a bunch of Switches that are very important.. I'm not sure just where they are on that dash.. When you use them they don't do anything.. They are called the Never-Mind Switches.. I think they are on the Pull-out Mini-Dash.. lol.. Let me know when you find them....... hehehe.. The Newfies know where to find that Pull-out, Mini-Dash..

I love Pete's always have and always will... but I have to say I'm fairly fond of my Cascadia right now I'm 6'4 and I can literally jump and not hit my head but the ride and is no where near peterbilt comfort level... this is my first time to watch your videos so who are you driving for or contracted with?
Do u ever drive in california im a vloger but in the spanish speaking comunity also a truck driver be safe put there
congratulatios, from México, I like you Video
Very nice rig. How much do o/o actually make? I was thinking of going to school myself and o/oafter a year or so of company. I know there are things unknown to me so was wondering average net pay.
so you went from the w900 to the pete. Which one do you like best? Both are awesome trucks.
It looks like DEF is similar to ADBLUE in Europe Which makes exhaust smoke to convert to steam instead just black diesel smoke
Black diesel smoke if from over fueling the engine. Poorly adjusted computer settings or else you're driving a pre computerized engine management system.
Guys that get a Bully Dog and turn it up until it smokes black are just shortening the engine life.
you talked about managing your average miles per gallon, and when it was low you could do different stuff to get that back up. What are some of the things you do to improve gas mileage? i didnt see a qualcomm in your truck. Do you use paperlogs? And do you still call disptach for your loads?
Hi!!
Please tell me: why the American Trucks dont have a Automatic Transmision Gear BOX????!!!!
I Ask because here Europe - Germany - all the Trucks are Automatics-- Mercedes - Volvo - Scania etc...
Thank you
waiting for answer
How come there was no lot lizzards banding on your window?
My dad is a truck driver he's been driving for 26 years how long have you been driving
Still lol I would think it would be kinda cozy to have one.. Btw lets say your truck did have a tv does it catch cable? Or yor run of dvd's?
I think that button @6:01 is the exhaust brake. Quieter than the engine brake but not as effective.
That button is a DPF (diesel particulate filter) Regeneration Cycle start switch, the truck will sense when it needs a regen and signal the driver, if the driver doesn't perform a regen it will derate (lower power) and then shut off the engine. Here, have a video with many acronyms: /watch?v=fNO-oUHmKXU
My brother's rig has a muffler for the engine brake. Keeps it much quieter.
Many towns and cities in the US have laws prohibiting engine braking due to the noise it creates. It also has another ratehr nefarious purpose. If a guy driving a tractor trailer rig cannot engine brake, chances are the town he's entering is a speed trap. These little jerkwater towns just LOVE to hand oput speeding citations. Prohibiting engine braking helps the cops fill their ticket quotas.
Damn straight cops have to fill ticket quotas.
Wow freakin cool truck
