If it was a flat glass Kenworth I take it but if it's a curved glass Kenworth I wouldn't want to be responsible for slamming the door and having the windshield pop out
Convince me on Kenworth vs Freightliner

The only good KW is a w900. Ill take a crapscadia over any other kw.

Our seat broke after the second time we used it. Got it fixed, haven't swiveled it since.
The table gets pulled out when the bed gets fresh sheets or we have to get into the boot when driving. -
Depends a lot on the power train.
Kenworth has a more well-made interior, but it's still a bunch of plastic.
I'd go with the Kenworth because I couldn't trust any modern Daimler-AG product these days. -
Simply from a reliability point of view. Staying away from the mechanics.
Which would you choose?Lepton1 Thanks this. -
The KW as long as it doesnt have a paccar engine. If it does stay far away.
There's a reason why the cascadias are so popular though, simply lower cost of ownership.
I kinda dislike the position of the drivers seat in the cascadia. Way off to the left, feels like your driving a boat.Last edited: Jun 23, 2018

Ended up making a choice. I’m in it now. Falling in love with it. Her name is Annabelle.
First.... I loved my Volvo. Great truck. I lost it to changing terminals I work out of. Have more important things to consider.
I’m so glad they had me take a sister of the KW I was considering, to the head/home office. The interior sealed it up for me. Tiny and I hated it.
I choose the Freightliner. Getting in it was like walking into a palace after the KW. This is a Columbia. 2 years old. Series 60 engine. Does good in the mountains.
This truck just matches what I personally like the most. Not the best. Just best for me.
Yes the new terminal has gone nuts busy already. Have cancelled appointments twice because going home delayed. I’m making money instead of sitting in a truck stop. This job could turn out perfect for me.
