    A male friend of mine who drove Kenworth T680 and a Freightliner said the Kenworth doesn't turn as sharp as the Freightliner and because the nose is longer than Freightliner, it needs more room when backing.... and a female friend of mine who drove a Freightliner and a Kenworth said she had difficulty with Kenworth, reaching the pedals and some of the controls on the dash like the radio and when she moved the seat to reach the pedals, she couldn't see the end of the trailer on the mirror.... she is 5'03" I also read some drivers saying the seat of their Kenworth is very uncomfortable...

    I start to think that DHT may not be the company for me now.
    Have been waiting for a non smoker trainer that trains females for over a month n in the meantime I started to have second thoughts... So, will get my pile of companies' notes n find another one to send my application.
    Might be better to get one that has Freightliners so that I can feel more confident for my road test. After 2 yrs n 4 months out of the truck I don't want to take a road test in a truck I am not familiar with... n if recruiter can't find me a trainer after over a month, I better go somewhere else.
