Feeder tractors?

[Brown Now]

I've seen new twin screw Internationals that are branded for us, and not Freight. Diesels.

I'm starting to see them too.

Wonder if they fixed the suspension on those new internationals. The old ones are ass beaters!

Turning off hill assist helps when backing and coupling.

Tried this tonight, it really does help!

I posted a picture a few posts back. In my tractor, it is the first switch to the right of the steering column.
They should really advertise this stuff.....!

I trained in a 266 tractor and it didn't have s for anything...and they never went over any of the buttons in the newer rigs like dif lock or how to move the 5th wheel or dump the air out of the bags...it would be handy if someone could take a pic of the controls of a new 278 or 279 kW and explain each one for us rookies...!!it would be much appreciated

You would think the manufacturer would include a user's manual with each new vehicle sold.

Truckers think they know it all, it's a pride thing.. I've seen a driver move the fifth wheel and almost hit the cab while turning a zzz ...

Even working on the edge of the auto industry, I have learned that every new vehicle must have an owner's manual.

As a former UPS employee, I can understand that the manuals probably disappear before the vehicles reach the end users.

Man that's scary. When I signed the bid to feeders I didn't realize how dangerous this job really was.

I've seen so many stupid things happen on the road, to me anyone in feeders who makes the circle of honor has to have some luck involved. There are way too many stupid people on the road.

I have driven one of the new 279 international diesel tractors.. nice trucks too bad they went automatic. They are air ride and true twin screws. Lots of power and a real Jake brake.

They do. It should be in the tractor somewhere. I'm in a 13 Pinnacle and it still has the owners manual in it.

Thank you.

You may want to get your sarcasm meter re-calibrated.

Did it have a cigarette lighter outlet? I'm hearing they don't. Gonna have to find a work around for that.

Don't quite know what you mean by that comment. I know that when they come in, there's an owners manual in the tractor. If there isn't , someone chucked it.
