How A Big Rig Works - The Peterbilt 579 UltraLoft

The Peterbilt 579 UltraLoft is one of the most sophisticated semi trucks ever built. Semi-trucks carry BILLIONS of dollars worth of goods, being driven across BILLIONS of miles of highways. Close to 70% of goods being delivered to your door were at one point being pulled by a semi. That’s a lot of money and a lot of responsibility on the truck AND the driver. But this show isn’t called H2B (hat 2 boots), so sorry Dale, we can’t teach the kids about your Steston and your Tony Lamas. But what we can do is dive into one of the biggest, smartest, most tech heavy semi trucks ever to hit the road - the Peterbilt 579 UltraLoft.

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

I’ve had my class A’s for 24 years and I drove long haul for 15 of them. It’s always fun to hear a non trucker explaining how trucks work. Donut did a pretty good job!

My Dad is a trucker and I'm in one right now, glad you made this video on semi-trucks

[Overlord]

I’m a trucker, thank you. Correction on the transmission I drive these “automatics” and they are technically Automated Manual Transmissions they still have a clutch and do not have a torque converter!

“Doesn’t need a fluid change for 500, 000 miles” as a diesel mechanic I am offended by this. Haha.
Great video. Keep up the good work.

As a trucker and a car guy any video that helps my fellow car guys understand what we truckers go through is always appreciated. Keep up the good work guys

Ford: my transmission has the most gears

Paccar: hold my beer

At 3:32 as soon as he finished saying "Take a listen" it starts playing an ad 😂

Kinda sucks being a trucker sometimes, always away but I love the road not gonna lie, it’s like mini self vacation while you make money!

[angelvelazquez]

“Only truckers know how satisfying that sound is, take a listen” *turns up volume to almost max* “OH OH OH

[derickpouliot]

Thanks for the video. Im a truck driver too. I haul ice. I really super appreciate you recognizing the hard work we truck drivers have to go through. It might not be hard manual labor for most drivers, but mentally exhausting. Thanks Jeremiah and everyone from Donut Media! Keep up the hard work!

I'm watching this in my 579 peterbilt as I'm getting unloaded, been driving for almost 15 years and it's one of my favorite trucks

Make an Up To Speed on Cadillac. I have always wanted to know their whole history.
