Ah yes a KW, with a normal clutch pedal and mirrors that show more than the exhaust. Pete finally learned with the mirrors, now if they can just move that homo pedal.

Remove the homo pedals and you’d have no one to drive a Pete.

I hate swinging pedals, I always have to pull my foot up further than i think to get on the clutch. I've pretty much only ever had Pete's though.

To me kenworth and Pete pedals both suck. They should be mounted turned 180 degrees and on the firewall. The bottom of the pedal should move the most not the top. Makes it much easier to drive in bad conditions.

I don’t mind the Pete pedal, however that’s all I’ve pretty much been in, in my trucking career.

What a joke that is. Was supposed to leave Saturday morning. Truck decided to say f that and I didn’t get gone till this afternoon. Snow and ice hit and 44 across missouri is shut down in like 5-6 spots. Anywhere from 1 car wrecks to 30 car pileups. I made it like 3 hours from the house.

You seriously think some outside company that lists ONE truck is somehow going to explode into tens of thousands overnight? You blame the large fleets for cutting rates but never said how this Girteka is going to take the freight from the existing carriers that are currently hauling it here! Maybe I need to suffer a head injury to think like you? I guess in your head Girteka is going to attract tens of thousands of O/O’s to come work for them, to haul freight that they got from the existing US carriers by raising the rates to the shippers?
They cut rates, thats how you get work. They dont need owner operators, they buy their own trucks and trailers. Money comes over from the east of European Union border..

You really are an ignorant sob aren’t you? I quoted you again just to prove it. So this amazing European company is SOOOO amazing they’re going to.....
1. Come to the US and buy tens of millions of dollars in equipment.
2. Cut all the rates to get work
3. Attract drivers (that we already have a massive shortage of) while taking enough out of the lower freight rates THEY CUT to pay drivers enough to get them to come work for them?

That sounds like the perfect formula for a successful business model.
