Freightliners

Why not? Companies are really bad about trucks in leasing particularly.

I recall a small fleet in Arkansas, they gave me a FLD120 at my request as a gift when all the other trucks were the newer KW Anteaters which were really turning out nicely. I would drive a KW later in my time on the road and find them to be very nice. But if I was blind it will have to be a freightliner because they run a certain way and all the switches are the same no matter how many or few of them on the dash.

A Pete is my first love. Load that and go. Same with the Diamond T and the walking beam macks. *Shrugs. It's a truck. Get in there and get going. Whatcha worried about? With that said, there are a few I wont get into. Internationals for example. Or GMC. Ugh. Sometimes Ive been ready to hire on to a outfit and learn they run either one of these and it's a deal breaker.

 

Don't like the GMC Astro? LOL

 

The Astro was not too bad, just the big turbo that wont quit screaming. When it howled was time to upshift. When it spooled down and quit pulling upshift. That particular truck had nothing else on the console, no tach, no speedo, no nothing so... shift it.

The volvo cabover would be vicious crossing a curb at any angle.

The Mack Suicide cab was something else.
