    If you think the Volvo has Def/EGR issues, don't even think about picking up a t660 with a Paccar... We have 5 of them that run 24/7 hauling gas, and it seems one of them is in the hospital weekly with dpf/def/egr issues. Once the warranties are up on the trucks, they are gone... Surprisingly, we keep getting more Volvos, and aside from eating injectors every 75k miles, we don't have emissions issues with them. We have great luck with the Volvos, the Paccar mx13... NOT AT ALL worth the headache.

    Not when they are parked facing a dead end street!

    I wouldn't get the dinette deal myself, looked at them and they look like the lower bunk would be totally useless. I like the big single lower bunk, with the cabinets up top.

    Flying J in Waterloo, Ny.

    This is the most poorly striped lots I've even seen. Looks like the lot is striped for 30' trailers.

    A 244" wheelbase will not accommodate any boxes on the frame. And a large cabinet rack might be a tight squeeze. The only use for the 244" would be to go into Canada. I'd choose a 270" wheelbase so I could fit a large box and APU on the frame

    I'm sitting at home. Had 2 loads cancel this week and got stuck with doing nothing but a single OD load on Monday.

    Loading some beams this coming Monday morning in Fort Wayne and taking them down to Louisville, then loading Tuesday in Indy and going to Dayton. Just going to stick local this week and then Friday loading to Grand Island.
