    Dude....are you nuts? They slip seat everything, and they're the CHEAPEST mother####ers on the planet! I've seen them change one axle of drive tires, with one axle having 1/32 left across. Oil changes pushed past due every time, the only time the diff oil/trans fluid gets changed, is when the seals fail. a 2013, prob had 2000-2500 different drivers in that thing, across 3 terminals.

    Like #### man, why?

    Man my company bought 3 used bison day cabs and drove them from Winnipeg to Toronto. 3 days later 1 of the trucks transmission had to be replaced. The other 2 are breaking down almost every other week. I'm stuck with one that is literally the worst truck I have ever driven! Now I see where your passionate hate for bison comes from.

    I've heard nothing but horror stories about their equipment. Both from mechanics that used to work there, and drivers.

    You don't want one, unless you are running sea-cans from a CN/CP yard to distribution warehouses.

    Why is there only a bisons head in their logo? That's because the ### is in the cab. I wouldn't roll the dice on one. Unless, they were pretty much giving it away.
