    Take the Columbia. You will have a lot more room compared to the Kenworth T2000. Also, the T2 and columbia are pretty much the same bare bones fleet trucks in my opinion except you get more room on the 2nd bunk with the columbia thus alowing more storage.

    Pick whichever one you will feel the most comfortable with. You aren't paying for fuel so who cares what motor is them. They are both good trucks.

    Also choose the one that is less smokey and doesn't smell like someone has been raising baboons in it

    To be honest, generally speaking, it comes down to can you get parts and service for your vechicle if you need it, which you will. What is going to be more avalible to you. All trucks generally do the same thing, minus all the bells and whistles. Its all about keeping it rolling.
