    I am not a driver for Knight but I will interject that the Volvo has always been a reliable truck for me...I don't trust the ProStar at all!!!:biggrin_2556:

    it depends on what ya want, pro star looks a little better, and has the air scale, down side, doesn't turn as sharp as a volvo, doesn't have a dump valve, and it leaks when ever it rains for a long time, doesn't matter if it's hard rain or a drizzle, doesn't matter if you're rolling or sitting still.. it leaks, not bad, but you notice it.

    well every truck is supposed to have the curtains for the cab that slide from behind the drv/pass seat and block the windows and windshild, and at the same time there is supposed to be the curtains that seperate the cab from the sleeper, and the the windows in the sleeper has their own covers.. i got all mines, but i believe i'm the second driver to hop in this truck.. the volvo i had before this had been dragged through the mudd something serious..

    hmm.. well i know i was at the shop one time, and another driver was asking bout curtins for her volvo, and the shop did something for her.. all i know is that she had curtins by the end of the day.. i'm pretty sure they jus took em out of another truck that wasn't being used.
