    FW I agree we spend tons of time in the truck, I put in a fridge and swivel seat tv had my rig striped, and when I was with Millis Transfer with there 2014 t680 I hated Kenworth dealerships....even in Wisconsin where Millis buys 300 units a year from Kenworth of Wisconsin....theres no doubts there is better looking rigs than the Schneider Specd Freightliner....also a one owner truck does bring more money...regardless of make.

    I was in a Freightliner for a year as a company driver.
    Been in this KW for over a year.
    I was towed multiple times in a shaker, thankfully that hasn't happened to me in the KW.
    However I can say ALL dealerships suck in my opinion. Both Freightliner and Kenworth have been terrible in my experience.

    Not to change the subject to much, but can anyone explain to me how the trip lease works that's in our contract or who to talk with about it? I'm just toying with some ideas before I go full out independent. The amount of non-recoverable revenue I've lost just from bad trailers this year alone is over $10k and it's starting to really frustrate me, especially since Schneider doesn't care if you loose money or hold the other drivers responsible for leaving trailers in bad shape and not telling sem or getting it fixed along the way.

    For those who want to continually bash Schneider why don't you just go ahead and take your truck and leave otherwise you will continually look like a whining cry baby

    That figure may be true. That he doesn't tell you is what amount replaced those lost loads.

    But what do I know, I'm no better than a trained steering wheel holder monkey.
