One of my previous jobs I drove a Cummings T680 13 speed for about a year. Nicest truck I've ever driven. My regular week was from northern California to Denver, down to Texas then home. It was wide open and did great at the speed limit through TX, AZ and NM. Had a Speedco oil and lube every 18,000 miles and it ran like a top. A lot more solid with fewer rattles than a Cascadia and the sleepers are roomy and comfortable. I had the fridge behind the driver's seat and could open it for a drink while I was driving. The suspension took a bumpy road like a luxury SUV. It was an all around nice truck. They tend to be a bit heavier than other trucks, so you may have to adjust weight on loads differently than you're used to.
Should I buy a new Kenworth???

You should lease / purchase a trailer. Arizona has insentives for small business. You avoid the state sales tax.
