My last rig (Freightshaker) was at 999852 on the odometer.....but it was an 03 rebuilt.
I had borrowed it for a friday night as a loaner. It was so much better than mine (and not assigned to anyone), I demanded it from my DM (nicely, but a demand). She didn't want to give it to me because it had a reputation of being a shop queen. Chased out all the small problems in a week. It was running 60k loads level, 60 mph at 1450 rpm. Mileage was 7.5 or so. Great rig.scottied67 Thanks this. -
Cross your fingers, but don't hold your breath. I think most of the time, newbies usually get a Volvo. My first three were Volvo's. But it really depends on what they have available. I got my current truck because the last Volvo I had was going to be in the shop for a week, so my DM got me another one. Fortunately for me, what they had available was a 2009 Freightliner.
What ever it is you get, I hope it's a good one. Good luck!scottied67 Thanks this. -
I tested out in Decatur and I got a choice between a Freightline or a Volvo. I chose the Volvo.
-
thanks for all the response hopefully i'll get either a volvo or international

does swift still have comfort zones? some swift drivers say yes and some say no and if so how good do they keep you in the comfot zone?
-
yes they do red and yea do a good job at keepin you in the zone you want to be in. i only once went outside the box to unload and pick up a load.

I'm hoping to run mostly west side of country..I'm sure there's plenty of loads west of Miss....
