    Lol. I'm telling you. I'm on the third one with a Paccar engine. The only problem I had was a fuel line broke and then a PAM driver ran into me. After that, I've had no issues at all. I'm not even kidding.

    Like anything mass produced...there's bound to be a lemon batch...doesn't matter what type of vehicle..it's gonna happen...frankly I would take a paccar branded vehicle pretty much over anything else to begin with...there's a good reason why paccar vehicles have higher resale.

    Normally, that's true. But, when your at a KW shop, and even the shop people are cracking jokes about the T700, that says a lot.
    i drove nothing but KW's for years now until, I got back into a Freightliner. It's been years when I last had a reliable truck and I hate to say it but, even a Freightliner blows the 700 out of the water. Face it, the 700 is the biggest piece of junk on the road. If it wasn't, all the companies that went with the 700 wouldn't be changing to the 680.
    Again, anyone that knows anything about trucks already knows it's a joke so save your breath.

    I had a question regarding orientation if you remember. I have used drugs in the past but have turned a new leaf in life and have been clean and sober for 3 years I wouldn't dare use and drive a truck that's murder waiting to happen. I just wanted to know if they do a hair follicle test because after 3 years I am not sure if something might still show up. Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks and god bless

    3 years? Nothing will show up. A year or less? I would worry.

    I had a towing guy pick me up once when I was driving a freightbreaker...he said he pulls more of those trucks. Than any truck out here..the only good thing is freighter parts are easy to get when you're at the shop vs the kenworth...but Kw hardly breaks down neither...which is why most of your towing services use kenworth trucks.....Kenilworth pulls better than a freightbreakdowner...

    I have been with Taylor for 3 months now on a dedicated Malt o Meal lane. The company has treated me with nothing but respect. My driver manager (Dave Schwager) has bent over backwards to make my job as easy and efficient as possible. I always have my load info before I need it. I get great home time. If I bring an issue to Dave's attention, he always follows up to resolve the problem. I would recommend Taylor to any driver out there looking to be treated as an asset and not just another number!
