    Thinking about becoming an OO & purchase a heavy hauler. I'm considering between Freight 122SD or Western Star 4900XD. So far I've heard & read a lot of mixed debates on which is the more reliable & better all-around heavy hauler. Plan to include either a pusher or tri drive. I'd also like some input on which is more ideal & if your stance is pusher - standard or steer? Any input is much appreciated! Thank you.

    Whichever one has more chrome, that way you'll get the better loads.

    No. Closest was spotting as a team driver but got 2.5 yrs of OTR with flatbed & dry van before I became a HH team driver/rider. Just trying multiple avenues for advice on which HH tractor to purchase.
