Good companies that run kw 900 or Pete 389??

Yup. I know a guy here in Tampa that has 6 W900s and he doesn't pay #### because people will work for free to drive something with a hood....his words.....

 

most of the companies that spends most of the money on nice big Pete's and w900s don't have much more to pay the driver

 

There's a sucker born every minute.

 

The difference in price of them and a cheap truck when new is very little unless you are buying them by the hundred.

 

For all the bashing y’all gonna do here, i’m just gonna say if i were to sell my truck & go back to a company ride i would not do it in a Cascadia or Intertrashional. i’ve no interest in going otr in a junky truck!

I would be more picky then just a truck tho. I would add...
Driver pay

401k

Vacation/sick time package

Type of work/main customers/accounts.

Detention time/break down pay.

Home time

And the list goes on...

Op don’t wanna get bashed, ask all the questions & let us know you care about more than just a hood! There’s more to it than that.

 

Well I own a hood, a T800 and a trashy international all at the same time when I ran otr, my choice of truck and the one I drove was the binder. I understand that the new ones have engine issues, but they were a much more driver friendly and comfortable truck if a guy has to stay any amount of time in them.

 

Kaiser transport
They have a main terminal up in Wisconsin, and they also have a yard in Santa Fe Springs California

I’d take a 1980 Louisville with a 36” bunk before I got in any of the plastic fantastic BS I see on dealers lots these days.

 

Maybe I'm missing something, I work for a company out of Commerce City Colorado and we drive Volvos. When my check is $900, I wonder why so low. Didn't run miles?! Sat too much!? My checks are usually $1200 and up. Even had some $2100 checks. And yes I do get home. If I wanted a hood, I'd buy it and drive it as a hobby truck or whatever.

 

I liked my international 9900 more then any of the kw long hoods i drove. More room inside and still looks good. And then probably my w900b short hood but i owned both of those
