    I am looking into doing a lease option and wanted to get some feed back on that and also a comparison on trucks. They have the Volvo vn780 and Frieghtliner Coronado. The both come with refrig. and apu's and on board weighing system. But was wonder which one would be cheaper to maintain. When you have to go to the shop which one is cheaper on parts and labor. And some other comparisons on them, such as wheel base and turning radius. comfort of the ride and general handling. and maneuverability at shippers and receivers. Thank

    The Volvo will turn tighter than the Coronado, and to most drivers (myself included) The volvo will ride and handle better. That being said, the coronado will have more room inside, and freightliner parts tend to be cheaper than Volvo parts, however the Coronado is their flagship model, so those specific parts may be more expensive.
