    I've driven Mack's with camelback suspension that rode and drove nicer than most Pete's I've ever driven... For all the hype over the low air leaf suspension on the Pete's, I wasn't the least bit impressed.

    Now the Mack cabs are a little cramped in the leg room. I can't argue that

    Probably because the OP never mentioned Mack in his list for us to choose from. I would buy a Mack ahead of Volvo personally though. Even if it’s the same people making them lol. It still sounds much better to say I drive a Mack than a Volvo.

    Id love a brockway, don’t think they are very practical to drive every day at this point though trying to find parts

    I'd imagine engine and drive line parts would still be available. Good luck finding a hood after Johnny Flip-flops rips it off with his Volvo

    I drive a 2016 Mack Pinnacle daycab. It breaks as often as the Freightliner and Pete’s we have. Only has 390,000 miles. I want one of the Cascadias we have. Rides way better and is also quieter. I got one on loan for a few days while mine was down.
