    What's so bad with Volvo's. Maybe not as much room as FL but well more insulated.

    I know this isn't on your list, but I'm in an International 9900 Eagle with my new job.......You ever heard that song "give me 40 acres and I'll turn this thing around"? They must have been driving this truck when they wrote it. I've never seen a turning radius so bad in my life, BTW Happy B-day, you've started this journey on the right foot and you'll go far, wish everyone out here would make level headed decissions like you at an early age.
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    Yea but just like hyundai they have turned around in recent years and made a good name for themselves. Hyundai with the genesis and international with the new pro start + and the lone star.

    :biggrin_2559: The lonestar is a joke NOT a truck


    and the prostar is just the newest Cheapo truck...in the 90's they had the FLD, then came the Columbia, then the centurys, then the Volvos, then the cascadias, now the prostars....companys come out with a new state of the art fuel saving truck that will change the world and can be had for the low low price of xxxx :yes2557:
