    last year, we demo'd a 2012 Pete 382 day cab side by side with a 2012 Mack CX day cab, same wb, same cab size, same gears. 10 drivers did the comparison, 10 drivers agreed, the Mack was the better truck. The Pete rode the roughest BT, had more interior noise, cramped cab, the dash layout wasn't intuitive and was $10,000 more in price.

    Yeah I was happy to get a long nose Pete, in orientation the other guys asked me

    "Hey rookie, what do they say about guys who drive those long nose peterbilt's?"

    I said "it's not true!" Haha.
