Hey all,
My boss has recently handed me an opportunity rarely seen in the trucking industry. I'll be taking over the position as float truck driver next year, and since the truck that I would be driving has seen better days, he's given me the opportunity to research and spec out the truck he's going to buy for me to drive. The only restriction he's given me so far is that it either has to be a Kenworth or a Mack.
For the past 6 years working for this company, I've been driving a mid 90's Kenworth T800 with a Caterpillar C15 with an Eaton-Fuller 18. It's not the most beautiful, but it gets the job done. I like the way it runs and the interior is pretty nice. Can't complain.
That being said, Caterpillar has stopped production on engines for big trucks. I've never had the opportunity to run a truck with a different engine, so I'd like some imput on other engines.
Ultimately, I believe this "contest" comes down to two trucks; the Mack Titan and the Kenworth T800.
Any input on these trucks, specs, engines, ect would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
