    I'm not with SWIFT, but I'll always take a Cascadia over the other options. I've had less problems in my career with Freightliner, and other than some minor irritations (they do tend to carry more internal road noise) they're the best setup of any truck I've been in. They also perform better than the others that the big companies uses.

    The Volvo doesn't have the ecoast feature thank goodness, that is rather annoying having a truck that will slow down all the time. The cruise will instead just turn off randomly if you coast +mph over 65 and a vehicle is front side in tracking range, maybe a update will fix this later. Very irritating that Swift has disabled the distance setting button for the cruise, it's set to follow too close in my opinion and has a farther level available. On freightliner it was about 330ft or so, on this Volvo it's maybe 200ft behind front vehicle on adaptive cruise before it slows down.

    The Volvo does ride wayyyy better than that freightshaker though.
