    Terrible parking. Dirt lot, huge potholes, and a fog of dust all over your truck come morning. Cheyenne is the better choice.

    Well, for reasons passing all understanding, I've decided to just stay where I'm at and leave out Saturday morning. Guess it's just a stress/pisssd off thing, but I have the mother of all headaches and absolutely no motivation to move.

    But hey, that's just trucking.

    More later...

    Volvos have there place in trucking... that's pulling vans. No way in hell would I buy one to flat bed. It would fall apart so fast. And let's be honest.... no one passes a Volvo and wants to take a double look at one. Fugly

    Company I used to pull for had several KW T660's pulling curtain vans, biggest pieces of crap I have ever driven, literally. Not too mention the layout of the cab interior, could hardly walk between the front seats. They gave the owner such problems, he finally dumped them. Talk about fugly, no side fairings etc, looked like a guy who showed up a wedding in a tuxedo...with no pants on ;-)
    Then again, that's just my opinion based on my experience.

    Ugly truth....if I could get ahold of a euro Volvo FH16 HH truck
    - I would give it a whirl - 750 HP and near 2500 lb- ft tq .

    Make fun of me if you want ....
    Yes they are ugly but might be worth it

    Does anyone actually run a COE for heavy hauling? I saw one out on the highway this morning pulling a grain trailer, the first I've seen for a long, long time.
