I am just your typical truck driver who is trying to make living. I drove a 2015 International LoneStar to start off my owner operator career. My G.O.A.L. is to help other individuals throughout my journey to success. Landstar is my tool to survival and my avenue to support my family’s financial needs. I am an owner operator who dwells in Houston, TX. Subscribe to my channel as I am subscribed to YHWH.
I’ve driven nothing but automatic transmission trucks for the last 15 years from Prostars to Macks to Volvo and never had trans problems so I don’t think they are any more or less reliable than manuals. Just my opinion from someone who has been a driver since 1972.
keep the automatic there is alot more that goes into putting a manual trans have to change some stuff on the trucks ecu and add everything to put a manual trans in
brother as an owner op , i would have never touch an automatic trans. The cost of ownership is too much. One truck man show , play safe. A driver on todays market without a big bank is a risky move
What exactly do the new driver want do if he has no problem driving manual get it and he could test in the pro star it may be a little set back if he agrees it's all good
Debt cards don't build credit... In the trucking industry, you will need a credit card in a jam... Credit is a part of a business platform. Credit cards are not the problem. Those who abuse them cause the problem? or those who don't pay the balance every month. If you're disciplined enough, pay them in full every month. They are a tool just like anything else... One can mishandled cash the same as mishandling a credit card.
It’s weird how the transmission went out were there any signs of it going out while you were driving it???? I’d feel better if you had knowledge of it going bad while driving but to go out the way it did was unusual but handy it didn’t happen on the road or to the new driver it would have put him in a bad light if something like this happened to him on his first trip with the truck!!
I’m wishing you would have known about this restriction thing before because you originally said you wanted to be putting a manual transmission in the truck and like you say the longevity of the automatic transmission is a poor thing to deal with!!!??? It’s definitely a tricky situation for you!!!!
You have a driver for that truck already. The way it sits if you change it. That means that guy doesn't have a job and a lot of people don't want to work for people like that.
Quick question, you dont use both feet while driving or reversing, right? Ik that sometimes that can result in clutch abuse, could be overall wear as well.
Keep auto for now for the new driver & less down time, & change to manual later & sell the auto to recoup some of the cost. That way you keep your word & come out good on your end down the road.
The school that these people are going to get trained they are doing a wrong thing to the students.they should train them to drive manual truck.anyone can drive a automatic
I wish you could have gotten in touch with me I had that same problem. You can reset the transmission and put it in manual and if it works it's your rage selector and you also have a y and l sifter on top can be reached from inside the truck I'm in San Antonio and have shops that can help you out
Sorry to see you broke down. Most importantly that you are safe and the breakdown happened at the receiver. Just take it one day at a time. Business don't always go in a straight line just as you think you are going great you're hit with a curve ball. Take care.
Keep your head up broke, keep it up. Get me hitting up, don't let this setback hold you back. God is God is a control of everything so you keep your You keep the.faith beother amen keep on trucking
Go get the 10 speed, go get the 10 speed that's on my friend head. My friend had he's track was of was like I said before, for Ace friend for an eye of the situation. What you're dealing with dealing with well both of our friends. What's the weather today me in my friend in yellowy? God good friends too so situation you're dealing with. So I hate to mind. I'm going and getting that. In the tents be and he's traveling what you're driving International. And he said he would have to deal with the situation that he did. He did, he said in a life. John Neill don't know automatic, butt he costs. You go get that 10 speed pulled in and tell the brother what happened? That's all you be on this with him. On the stage of this policy, alcohol bless you and i'm praying to demand lower the cost for you, hear me.
I've been reminded of how had a problem with a freight line. And that was a 2014. He had prompted the same problem that you're dealing with and stuff. The the FU can be a pain in the self cause of friend of mine he got rid of is. This is a 2014 and he bought A. In a 19. 97 K9 100 K9 100 South attract. Only innocent senior citizen he had on that truck. I think was like 98000 miles. But like you haven't, you're sleeping. Your Fleet is stuffy at backup truck and train down one end. And i'm not the truck but brother you're doing good keep up with little work
