    I haven't driven a truck so I can't say what my preferred brand. However I do like the looks of a Sterling and Volvo VT8 series.

    Customtanks, it depends on ones preferences, for example I like Volvos because they are very quiet( I think they might be the quietest truck out there, the inside noise I am talking about). They are very comfortable to drive(very tight turning radius) They are ergonomically built. They almost feel like a 4wheeler when driving :). I will add that I drove Kenworths(ant eater and T2000), Freightliners and Volvos. I have compared the inside cabin noise levels in 2000 Pete 379 and Kwenworth studio and I must say that Volvos seem to be the quietest.

    Cheers

    I have never driven but looked at a lot of trucks. The Petee or Volvo would be my number 1 choice due to the nice interiors,and standard options. That could change quickly once i drive one though! The freighliner seems to be vary basic and cheap i mean inexpensive... As for the T800 the headlights look like they make it hard to see at night.

    I would think that would be a matter of what a persons needs and personal likes are.
