    They aren't, not when they have the stigma of cheating associated with them, kinda of like saying Barry Bonds is the greatest home run hitter of all time.

    They are built in NC, owned by Freightliner, come off the same assembly line as the Cadcadia. That should answer all your questions.

    Thanks for the input folks I appreciate it very much, when I drove between the Army and Navy I ran an old Volvo don't recall the model series 60 Detroit 350 hp with a 9 speed and a 36" sleeper, mostly regional stuff out of Roaring Spring PA. looking at the descriptions of the trucks at Abilene it'll be like driving around in a small apartment.... :happy7:

    Ok, EVERYBODY up! No time for sleeping! . So, been a weird weekend, but it's cool. Dropped a trl at a Publix in Port Charlotte FL yesterday and bobtailed 530 miles to Ellenwood to get a load going 40 miles up the road for this morning. Sitting with 2 other Abilene drivers waiting to be unloaded.
