Bear in mind that if you buy a freightskanker, you will have to drive it, and worse yet, there will come a day when you will have to sell it. You and 6 million other freightskanker owners. They do not hold their value.
Get a Pete or a KW. You'll be glad ya did.

Well I am looking at buying a Pete 386 with the 48in unibilt stand up sleeper and a cummings engine. Or I might go with an International 9200I or 9400I 51in high rise sleeper.

I'm not the biggest fan of the aero look, but I do like the 386 hood, as well as the KW 660. If only they'd build the 660 with dual stacks between the cab/sleeper like on the W900s, from factory, they would have something.

I will agree on that. My major at college is Interpersonal/organizational communications. If worse come to worse, I will buy a used 386 and go work for Kenan Advantage Group.

Thanks for the advice...I've been trying to get some feedback on the Internationals, but it seems that there aren't a lot of Internationals out there to begin with. Wait till they put that "Gotham City" cruiser on the roads...it'll get some attention...I forgot what they're calling it and I don't think I'm allowed to put a link up for it...may get another infraction for advertising

Cool, I understand what you're saying. But I think I hear people saying that the Freightshakers are good as fleet trucks but not to own as they don't hold their value. I do think the Classic XL looks decent though. Some have those nice interiors. -
If I remember right the 84in can be ordered with the optional dinette. Also the 84in is 7 feet long so if you are handy, you could build bunks for you and the family.

If it were me..... I would get a CDL first.....
-
the Classic or Coronado is the way to go is you want a hood on a Freightliner but for manuverablity can't beat the Columbia/Century haven't been in a Cascadia
the new International is the Lone Star and it's out on the roads now.
however this day and age with the price of oil, I'll stay a company driver.
