    what an owner operator would buy and not a fleet. Upgraded interior, gauge pack, specific drive train.

    It would be what an owner op would spec in a truck and not what a fleet would spec. Like full gauge package, leather seats, carpet on the floor, etc.

    Ok thanks for the reply. Carpet in a truck? Yuk! All trucks have fuel gauges. I guess your referring to other gauges?

    you'd get brake application air pressure, boost gauge, exhaust temp, air suspension pressure, etc. Above and beyond what a fleet would want or care for.

    I like to put throw rugs down myself. Especially for when you step out of bed in the morning.

    LOL. Keep bashing Volvo....would love for you to go inside mine and drive it, and then tell me it isn't owner op spec'd! Rides nicer than my 760li BMW! (ok, maybe not).
