    Thank you for all your replies!
    In case if I would like to buy a truck anyway, which one of Peterbilt 367, 378 or Kenworth T800 will be better for my purpose: reefer (44-45k loads)?

    Reefer loads I’d be looking for something more aerodynamic than what you’ve listed. But of those 3 I’d take a T800. At least it’s a little more aero than the other two.

    Aw!
    I get left out of everything, as I’m not circling DC.
    Although... last time I was through there I made sure to to leave anything behind that I’d have to return to get, to much traffic.

    KW, no question. Don't rule out an older W900, best overall truck of all time.

    buying a white Volvo is now considered supporting Ukraine.

    yours doesn’t count. Has blue on it.

    just pointing out the news, now everything we do seems to represent supporting Ukraine. And white Volvos represent Chicago 1099 mob Eastern European. You get the point.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.
