    When I was still a student, our CDL school kept switching us back and forth between Freightliners, and older Kenworth and Volvos. I hated the shifting in the Volvos. After driving the Freightshakers, I found it was way too easy to miss gears even when I had the RPMs right. Downshifting and shifting while climbing steep onramps was a legitimate b****. Other than that, I don't have any complaints about Volvos. The seats were comfortable.

    I recently drove a Peterbilt 386 and it was a really nice ride. The shifting felt good. If given the choice today, I'd take the Pete 1st.

    Does anyone here drive a Western Star?

    thanks for the link I just looked at it. The truck looks like all the others to me just with a skinnier nose. but thanks though that was cool to look at. I cannot add to the poll unfortunately but I would if I could.
