    We have a Columbia Freightliner that I drive ,and a Vision Mack for the other driver.I think the Freightliner,turns better,rides smoother,cheaper to repair,and is just a more comfortable tractor

    Don't they fill the crankcase with oil when they're built?

    There's nothing racist about it. Certain etnic groups like certain things more than others. That goes with vehicles, sports, jobs and several other topics.

    I guess everyone is suppose to keep quiet about anything that pertains to race or you're dubbed a racist??

    White people like minivans, Honda's and Toyota's. There we're even. :)

    When you degrade someone because of their race, then it's being racist. There's nothing bad about owning a Freightliner.

    It's more of a stereotype. Or even an uninformed statement.

    A lot of the lease companies, like Penske, and Ryder, use Freightliners.

    I have driven several Freightliners, a couple of Volvos, and now an International. So far, I like the International the best out of all of them. The only 2 things I do not like about my International is the interior storage space is somewhat lacking, and the clutch spring is really stiff. I have found ways to counteract both of those minor issues.
    I have talked to a few drivers who have the new Freightshaker Cascadia, and they all have raved about how good that truck is. If given the opportunity to grab a Cascadia, I'll probably take it!
