Volvo.....

Leasing with less than a year's experience? Doesn't matter which truck you get; odds are, you'll be bankrupt before summer.
Seriously, though, there's not a whole lot of difference between the two as far as reliability goes. Both are good. Get the one you like.BrenYoda883 Thanks this. -
Drive their trucks for some time switching over from truck to truck as they need repairs, then you can pick the type you want to drive?

Kenworth....

I'm currently in a 2015 Volvo 670, 6X2 with an iShift and D13. I love it. Drives like a cadillac and my fuel mileage on the I-5 corridor, L.A. to Seattle, running heavy loads up to 48k lbs is excellent. My overall average is currently 7.4 mpg.

I'd go Volvo.
Although, it seems like all the company has do is through in a new truck and people sign on the dotted line... -
Volvo.... freightliners are nice when new but fall apart rather quickly (interior)
RERM and bobtrucks2204 Thank this. -
Volvo makes a great truck, but the best truck is the one with the highest amount of uptime, lowest cost of maintenance and highest mpg.
There are other factors, but none of those will make a bit of difference if the truck isn't moving with a paying load sitting on the back.Broccelli Thanks this. -
It depends on the models. If its the base model Freightshaker or Volvo than it'll come down to maintenance price, mpg, and warranty length. Truck manufacturers tend to save their top notch driver comfort packages for their higher end models.
