One thing that I have noticed since getting behind the wheel again is that the new equipment far exceeds what I was used to in nearly every way drivability wise. I'm currently driving a 2009 Pete 379 day cab W/475 Cat 18 speed locally.
For my tastes I'd like a bit more space in the cab, but more so the door openings are a tight entry/exit even for someone my size ( 5' 9" tall approx 180 lbs.) it seems like I could climb in/out of these things easier 25 years ago lol!!!! Ok maybe it's the 50+ year old driver and not the doors -

What's sad is most guys see what a large fleet buys and figure they did that because they were the best trucks on the market. They don't even consider that they buy brand and model "X" because they were the cheapest and offered the best deal to dump them when it was time to trade.HEAVY DUDE Thanks this.
