My new career with Superior Carriers begins!

I got to drive my trainers Pete and it was pretty nice. It pulled well and was very smooth driving. The only thing that sucked about it was that it was an auto and backing with an auto takes some finesse. You wont move at idle so you have to give it some fuel and if you aren't used to that it gets a bit...surge-y.. My prostar has been good so far, its one of the newer ones that was a replacement for a buyback that was total garbage. The new Macks look ok, I haven't driven one but they have a bigger cab, more cabinets and an auxillary heater for the sleeper berth. But the one I was looking at in the shop was going back to the dealer with a laundry list of malfunctions/build quality issues...hopefully not a sign of things to come.
I do hope they up the speed limit to 70, I heard it was set at 65 because of Canada but that just seems dumb.

 

Hopefully so. The one I'm in has more power than the Prostar. Only has 20k on it though, so we'll see what happens in another 100. It did take some getting used to as it isn't as comfortable as the Prostar, but I like it.

 

There just isn't quite as much adjustment range in the seat and steering wheel. I can get everything adjusted almost perfect, but just not quite.

 

I worked for a company that had a 68 mph max. Everytime I took a Canadian load I had to stop by the shop. They would plug in a computer and dial it back to 65 mph max and check your belts and fluids while they were at it. It took about 5 minutes.
