    Any chance of getting a few shots of the inside of that shiny new KW? How does it compare to the Volvo 780?

    Sure. I'll do it when I stop for my 10 in Altoona Iowa at 7 tonight.

    Slammed up hard against my 70 today... Hoping to find a parking spot tonight as there are not many options... Stopped off at a good home style buffet place for dinner.... Mmmmmm.... Very good... But now I might not be able to climb back up into the cab... ;-)

    Me too, but also curious how the two compare.
    I did apply to Abilene today. Waiting to hear something. The other place I applied to already contacted me.

    Here you go. To keep it short and simple, I'd never go back to a Volvo, this is my second new KW in a row, it's all me. I had a brand new Cascadia before my last KW, that was just ok. The first truck I got here was a Volvo with 90k on it. Nothing but headaches and the dealer network throughout the country sucks.
