    I drove a day cab 567 18spd 60,600 GVWR ultra shift for a year at my first full time local truck driving job hauling structural steel (beams, pipe, angle, plates, sheets, tubes) governed at 70, was the nicest vehicle I've personally ever driven, didn't matter what you were driving over, dirt roads/ rocky lots, bumpy destroyed roads, took everything like a champ, never gave me any issues, absolute workhorse.

    Loved that truck, it spoiled me, it's all I want now

    Gets up and goes even with heavy loads and drives, handles like a dream, super comfortable.

    To me it's very much a mix of 579 with like 389 so basically a new school modern truck with some old skool flair[​IMG]

    Well then I hope your company buys a 589, it sounds like you’d love that truck as well. I enjoyed my 567, I’ve moved into a new T680 now to try something new and since my company no longer runs the Cummins power plants and has switched to Paccar’s with AMT’s there’s really not as much a draw for the 567 (which was a Harritage to boot in my case). Glad you enjoyed the ride and I hope your job continues to treat you well.
