    Between the T680 and Pete's 579....those two tractors are taking the nation by storm!

    Lessors has a few of the 579 tractors. Not much room in them though.

    I'm getting empty about 3 miles from the terminal. I was loaded down in Ochlocknee Ga by 9am yesterday, drove the 680 miles here and that's it. I am picking up a new trainee next Tuesday. Hope this one winds up a keeper, my last 4 turned out to be train wrecks. (Sorry George).

    It's amazing what a keyboard and writer can come up with. They should have interviewed the drivers of those KW's, they would have had a completely different spin on the article. Since the day we got those trucks everyone of them has had issues.

    They sure look like they have room from the outside. You think the 387-587 has the most room out of the Pete's? I always thought my 387 back in 2006 had a ton of room in it.
