I haul grain and went from a 2005 FL columbia 112 to a 98' W900L and really like the big hood. It doesn't turn as well as the short shaker but I get around everywhere fine and I actually prefer the visibility out of the narrow cab. Its nice being able to reach things to work on when 1/2 the motor isn't tucked under the cab. That and I love how the KW looks. Its nice hopping out walking away from the truck looking back and being proud of what you are in. So dont let anyone talk you out of a hood if thats what you want to be in.
Long nose please- company driver

Thanks. On the heavy haul video i thought using a truck to help pull another truck instead of pushing the load from behind would also be great but i know nothing about heavy haul to be honest.

Yeah on the 15 fl i drive i noticed that. I thought to myself if they ever have to pull this engine it'll have to come forward before it comes up and out...must be a interesting process. -
First Class Services has one of the sexiest fleets on the road.
CruzControhl, swervyjoe and wore out Thank this. -
Farmers Oil and First Class Services have nice trucks. Their drivers compensation packages vary according to experience but does seem above par.
Lots of hood haters around here. Makes me wonder why? So it's not your preference no big deal, an aero ain't mine no big deal. Only I don't flap my lips on the which is better cascadia or volvo threads.Isafarmboy, Roberts450, CorsairFanboy and 8 others Thank this. -
I'm more a fan of regular hoods myself. I think the only way to get me into a long hood would be if it had a 3408 or a 12V71 under the hood
Tombstone69 and CruzControhl Thank this. -
For some reason, my "wink, wink" won't post. -
