So after 1 year,9 months,2 weeks(and 210,600 miles as the Freightliner flies,lol) my fleet manager put me in a new truck. I’ve gone over to the dark side....
From a 2019 Freightliner Cascadia Evolution with a Detroit DD-15 to a 2021 Kenworth T-680 with a Cummins X-15!! 13 miles on the clock. Last time I drove a Cummins powered truck Marten still had Kenworth T-660 Aerodynes in the fleet. On startup the X-15 sounds like a BEAST-definitely louder than the Detroit I was used to!

NICE!!!
Personally, I'm a Volvo fan. I have a 2019 VNL760 with a DD13. I actually like the smaller engine, because it is lighter. I drive reefer and am usually pretty heavy. Having a lighter truck makes getting my weights legal easier.
I drove a 2017 Kenworth when I was with a trainer. Other than being heavier than I prefer, it was a good truck!
Anyway, BRAND NEW TRUCK!!!! I'm Jealous!!Texas_hwy_287 and mjd4277 Thank this. -
Watch out, this is when most truck mishaps occur. Hate to see you on one of your own posts. Heck of an upgrade. Enjoy, it will probably never happen again,,,
