Dont expect your prime truck to be speced out like that. Mostly owner ops and small companies will have fully loaded models.
New Freightliner, Wow!

I wonder if they still pull right all the time & wear the steers .......
From the first 2006 to the last 2015 & all in between, they have all had issues pulling right & wearing out steers. I'll usually get about 60,000 or so out of a set of steers, then have to replace them because they are worn out on one edge because of frontend issues. After a while, it starts to shake. Hence the phrase "Freightshaker".skellr and Chucktshoes Thank this. -
nay nay to the driver lounge & cathedral ceiling options, at least for now...prime is a training company & will spec upper bunks as standard.
More interested if they will go with Detroit's iteration of OnGuard & lane assist instead of the aftermarket versions they use currently...
skellr Thanks this. -
Hope they've stocked up on those drive wheel fairings...
Dave_in_AZ, str8t10 and Bakerman Thank this. -

The Driver's Lounge was first introduced in a Volvo VNL770 starting in 1998, One piece front windshields and side glass have been in trucks since about the same time.
Freightliner...... you're 18 years too late, always playing catch up, never the Innovator. -
Looks like no one read the article.

Put 300k on my 13 no issues.
This 16 I'm in right now has 140k and because of your post I put the depth gage on, still 12/32 on the factory tires, even all the way across. Perhaps you had incompetent mechanics that didn't keep thing properly Greasemonkey checked alignment? Perhaps too many curb slams by the operator?
300 evo's in our fleet, called shop foreman this eve, he says usually about 160k on steers.....
Guess you are one of those who saw one drive past you on the interstate guys so have an opinion?darthanubis Thanks this. -
I might add that you are an amazing driver, privileged to drive a model in 06 that wasn't even introduced till 08.....
