DESCRIPTION ▶
this is Kenny. she's a 2022 Kenworth t680. Based on my driving style (I start driving between 12am-3am when there's no traffic) I get about 9-9.6 mpg. On a bad day I get 8mpg which I think is pretty amazing for a semi truck. The ride is what I really like about it. It's a tank. It runs over potholes without you noticing that you're actually running over a pothole. Ride comfort is amazing.

Just for clarification for any new drivers out there. The RED "parking brake" in NOT a parking brake. Pushing it in supplies air to the trailer, pulling it out cuts off air to the trailer. Do not use it as a parking brake. Use the yellow handle for parking. The trailer does set the brakes when air is cut off with the red handle but they are not always strong enough to hold the truck from rolling. Some trailers, especially old trailers will release the brakes if iar drains from the tank.

Thanks for the recent vlogs Alex. Getting better all the time!

You ain't the only one bro. I use a George Foreman electric grill. I also bought an Air Purifier to get rid of any smoke. Also, you know you use Google maps for that overhead Satellite view of places!! Just not for the trusted actual trucking route. Also, I too use the top bunk. I have a a Volvo now, and the bottom bunk folds up into a table and 2 bench seats. I just leave it folded up all the time. It's like I have a bedroom and a kitchen. It's awesome. My truck has an APU so I don't have to run the Truck while using my appliances like my grill or microwave.

honestly I feel like trucking is the type of life style I was made for I'm a big guy but growing up with not a whole lot of money constantly moving homes and used to not having a whole lot of stuff kinda shaped how I am today. I like a minimalist life style.

Hi Alex! The net with the buckle is for if you're running teams, to keep the other guy from falling out of bed if you break hard.

Alex, that Aerodyne design your T680 has was developed by Kenworth in the 1970s as one of the first "condo' sleepers. It was first used on the K100 cabover. The T680 alone was a very creative design by Kenworth. I think that Kenworth really have some talented artists at their office not too far from Seattle. The windows in the doors we could say came from Sterling, and the dash came from two GMC products. The driver's area was from the GMC Brigadier and the passenger side was to pay homage to the GMC fishbowl bus. Now for me, I come from an era when the GMC Brigadier was in production, many transit agencies bout thousands of GMC fishbowl buses. I used to ride the GMC fishbowl bus on several transit routes in my hometown. The trucks that ran in regular service when I was a teenager often had the steel dashboards. When Kenworth made the K200 for Australian trucking companies, they did it again but made the dash to pay homage to the GMC Astro 95. When I was your age, Kenworth still had the flat dashboard in the W900, and the T800. They also made the T600 that also had the flat dash as well. Your's is much easier to handle since you don't have to deal with the center "A" pillar in the windshield. The trucks of my era did have them.

Your videos and commentary are really cool. Thanks for making them - stay safe!

That fan switch is for if you're climbing a hill and you engine temperature go over 200 turn it on and is gonna help the fan to cool down the engine. Good video by the way keep them coming Alex be safe out there too many crazy driver out there

Some trucks like Freightliner has a plug like the one in RVs. Just hook it up to the plug and you have full electricity. Usually it's under the driver door from the outside

[paulfenter]

Does your truck have an APU? If it does, it's not only for heat/AC, but as long as you have it in stand by, it will start up when your battery level goes below 12.3 volts. It's entire purpose is so you don't have to idle to stay comfortable while only using approximately only 1/2 gallon of fuel in an entire 8 hour of being parked.

[Koir]

I've slept on the top level of a kenworth. Absolutely sweltering during the day in the summer even with AC. If you notice Alex stopped sleeping up top lol.

The CB radio might be old school, but in some places in America, cell phone service is bad and the CB radio is the best communication system for a big rig.

I'VE BEEN SEEING POST EVERYWHERE ABOUT FOREX TRADING AND CRYPTO CURRENCY, A LOT OF PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THINGS ABOUT THIS TRADING PLATFORMS PLEASE CAN SOMEONE LINK ME TO SOMEBODY WHO CAN PUT ME THROUGH..?

"We never use google maps"
I do all the time. Every load. Of course I use my truck GPS as well but alot of the time the truck gps' dont have a full complete map of all the roads...or they think normal highways are off limits to trucks or things like that. So its good to have google to see where the truck gps could be messing you up and costing you time and money. Not to mention being able to look at the satellite view and see exactly where it is and how to enter the facility the right way for the truck.
You should always be checking google maps in my opinion.

[alextepozteco]

I need to get more appliances in my Freightliner Classic your layout definitely gave me some ideas

[delvonhall]

Thank you for the tour and the chef at work video. Take care and be safe….

[jonblablabla]

Congrats on a year of trucking! Man I cant wait to have $5k....$10k.... $20k in my bank account 🤑🤑🤑
Hopefully soon!
I ended up getting a grant to go to a trucking school... hope it works out for me!

[mauricethomas]

Why do you think you are the only one cooking on their truck. You haven't been driving long enough to come up with new ideas on the truck. You are the only one in the world that thinks you are the only one. Just like all the other rookies you are doing everything the right way amd keeping your truck clean. After 60 months all that will change. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

[amandaburger]

Nice truck friend. Love all the compartments, cabinets.
