Long Hood Peterbilt 359/379/389 and Kenworth W900

i've not driven a W-900B; i wonder if that would be more comfortable as far as not having such as long hood.

i have to say the 378 was one of the best if not the THE best truck i ever drove. They are not my first choice though, if/when i decide to take the plunge. That would go to the coronado.

 

They are a good looking truck, but since I currently run a Columbia and know what the cab is like on them since its the same I don't think I would want one. Much rather have an FL Classic if I wanted a freight shaker

 

What is the weight on these hood petes? I love the look but wonder if I could still scale 48 if needed to.

 

19,500 at half fuel for me

 

Mine is 18300 dry but with fluids and half tanks on my 150's I am about 20500 with chains and straps.

 

The daycab I drove with a C-15/18spd with me in it and 1/4 tanks with a hooper behind it was 26500 on the out bounds. My Columbia with a 48" sleeper and a hopper behind it full tanks on the outbounds is 25000 so they are heavier. I would love to know how to keep the weight down on one because they are nice.

 

About a hundred pounds
