    I've been driving rolloff for the last 14 years,6 years before that driving various other garbage trucks. I want to know what guys think makes the best rolloff truck. My experience is primarily with 02-05 volvos and late model macks. And hands down the volvos exceed the macks in all aspects. Driver comfort. Turning radius. Ride quality. Reliability. Not here to bash trucks just wondering what other people's experiences have been.

    I'm partial to the RD series Macks for just about any vocational application. Other than that, I think the Kenworth T800 is a good all-around platform, both for single vehicles and combinations.
    One thing I did like about the Sterling AT series is that they have very spacious daycabs. Other than that, I think they're pieces of ####.
    Only Volvo VHD I ever ran was a dump truck. The Ford L9000 has been pretty decent to me. I liked the Kenworth T440, as well, although that wasn't a roll-off.
