    Favorite trucks out of these? I hear the volvos are comfortable but not so great otherwise not that I care if its not my truck as long as they can keep them maintained. Comfort would be nice.

    figured I would let you guys know I got rid of that truck finally lol. It took me calling my dm everytime I hit a terminal asking if there was a truck. I now have a 2012 volvo 670 with 112,000 when I got it. So it's a baby. It's clean and nice
     
    inkeper Thanks this.

    I trained in a volvo 780, it was nice, roomy and drove nicely. I can say with my own experience I enjoyed driving a volvo. I have driven a freightliner and the shifting was nice but I didnt care for much else. I will see what Swift ends up giving me but I kinda hope its a volvo.

    Started out in a '08 Volvo 670 with about 450,000 miles.Took it home when I got it and my Wife and I spent about 5 hours cleaning it up. Dirty,smelled like an ashtray. Comfortable truck, had that for about 3-4 months, but it started breaking down a lot. They put me in a '13 Kenworth T660 that I've had ever since.

    im starting out with a 2009 volvo, also smells like an ashtray, got an air freshner and stuff today to help, hopefully it wont be too long and I can trade it in, whoever had it tore it up, theres holes everywhere from whatever he mounted, the panels falling off up above (fixed them today myself) stains everywhere and the list goes on. As for the truck it has 365k miles and shifts pretty good, as long as I dont break down it works for now.
