Volvos have lots of room and are pretty ergonomic, but NOT the best ride!
Can find diff sizes/models for all the brands. Just need to go out & look ..

I for one love the way my '06 Volvo VN670 rides. BUT, when I buy my own, it will be a Columbia or Century Class.
ndaniels1300 Thanks this. -
May you please explain in more details why?ndaniels1300 Thanks this.

Wow, talk about bringing one back from the dead. To answer your question..price. A good Columbia or Century will always be cheaper to buy than an old beat up Volvo. In fact, this is what I bought:

They's cheaper to sell too

Nice tractor thondaniels1300 Thanks this. -
Sell?? I thought you throw these away when you are done with them?
ndaniels1300 Thanks this. -
LOL good point!
ndaniels1300 Thanks this. -
With freightliners you do.
-
Well I have only been in freightliners, and only Centuries. However, when you look at them...take a look at the cab of the truck. The cab is almost as wide as the rest of the tractor. When you look at alot of other trucks, the cab is narrower, hence less cab space / room.
I don't sleep in my truck even though its a sleeper. I've used the berth once when the Interstate was shut down and I couldnt make it home, and a couple of other times to take a nap when I was driving later than normal. So with that, I cna't really tell you about the sleeper berth accomodations compared to other trucks.ndaniels1300 Thanks this.
