Hippie Goat's psychedelic journey with Stevens Transport

I only had one trainer that was close to Luther (His name tho was Bob). He wore womens panties and did a pirouette in his truck with his junk flopping in the breeze. He asked me what I thought, I replied I needed to leave to take a dump. He threw me off his truck that afternoon.

 

IMHO you will like the 680 better if you have a choice. Disclaimer I’ve always thought freightliner interior to be cheap. Your mileage may vary.

 

Man that will go by like 3 months!

 

Choose the one with a longer wheelbase. The longer wheel base will require a larger turning radi. Yet longer wheel base will give you a smoother ride.
Otherwise there are more freightliners on the road than there are Kenworths. If you have a breakdown, the freightliner is more likely to be repaired the soonest over the Kenworth. As there are more parts readily available for the Freightliners with detroits. And as Dave has pointed out with blackie, better mileage. The key to making money is to have a lower overhead. IE the more fuel efficient truck. People and posters here love to dis Freightliners as there are more of them. It really boils down to your preferrence. Oh and a Cascadia has a bigger cab than the Kenworth. Yet it is your choice.

(yes I am pro freightliner, yet I am only trying to post what you need to consider)

 

My first Stevens truck was '07 KW T2000 (Cat C-15 with a 9 speed trans. back when the fleet used to be navy blue). After about 8 mos, they upgraded me to a brand new KW T660 (Cummins ISX with a 10 speed. black this time). I used zip ties to but a Grateful Dead Jerry Bears license plate on the front, right above the TX tag. The guys in the safety lane always got a kick out of it and remembered me (its good to have friends at the Dallas terminal).

 

Another thing to consider. If your going to work for @Dave_in_AZ in a year? He only has cascadias. If your driving a kenworth, you will feel very uncomfortable in a Cascadia.

 

Why does it matter that you have cancer? I have been driving with cancer since 2016.
