    Just as the question asks, if you had to drive one of these as a company truck, which would it be. (all 2010-2011 models) All on a OTR basis, 1-2 weeks at a time. All with basic, intermediate amenities. Not the top tier packages, but not the base model trucks either.

    Volvo VN780
    International ProStar+
    Kenworth T-2000

    All three of these to me are very close and I cannot quite decide which I would rather choose. I know what each person chooses is subjective, but I'm just curious to see what you people have to say on this issue.

    I hate to agree with another driver, just as a matter of principle, but yes, what he said.

    Something else to think about is witch of the three have a good dealer near you?
    if you have all three then its a none issue, but all dealers are not created equal.
    The dealer ship that has the most knowledgeable and helpful service department gets my vote.

    Second if you are brand loyal buy YOUR brand you will like it best!

    I am a Pete fan even though I own a good W900 I keep thinking it's not a pete and if you don't buy your brand when it breaks (and they all do ) you will wish for whatever ever brand you like best.
