    LMAO!

    I did okay for a noobie at Shaffer, would have went to .48 Jan 1st and gave it all up for the freedom and lifestyle being an IC on Schneider's load board offers. Plus a new T680 also

    That is a sweet ride. Enjoy the first 40,000 miles. After they do the overhead. Be prepared to watch the check engine light and all types of codes coming up that the dealer can't fix. But that's if u have the PACcar motor. I hope my 2015 don't have the same problems as the 14. Spent way to much time in the shop for a truck with barely 100,000 miles on it. Does get great fuel mileage. Winter you may not see it as fast. But when temp goes up so does d fuel mileage. Also rides like a caddy!

    Thank you,

    Yeah I'm hoping they figured out all the bugs by now, I have a 2015 also.
    Kenworth did do an amazing job keeping it quiet.. no road, wind noise and no rattling sounds the cab.

    Off topic, but what is the OP's review of Lessors, if he doesn't mind giving one?

    I still have the plastic on my passenger seat, desk, and the area by TV mount. I might take it off if I can reach 100,000 miles without the stop engine light buzzing every 10 minutes.

    Well I didn't get run off. So maybe no overnight parking means no "overnight" parking. Got a preplan picking up in Wilson, NC headed to Columbus, Ohio. Delivers at 13:00 tomorrow.
