    They aren't bad, but the boss doesn't like the Paccar drivetrain nor the warranty. With Mack she's getting 5 year/1.2million km (750,000mile), which she says is full coverage the entire time she's paying for it.

    I like the Paccar products, but their interiors seem a little dated at this point. Lots of storage cabinets, but not really anything smartly placed like the Anthem.

    But we'll see what she does, because she said she's not opposed to putting me into something I like if I'm going to stick around. She's really impressed with my work so far and finds it refreshing.

    I could be wrong but .... those M-11's have a short stroke to fit under a flat floor cabover from what I've been told. I had to drive several of them and I detest those oil guzzling gutless wonders. Maybe it was because they all were high mileage ? I doubt if I would like a brand new one though. Drop 3 mph topping a two story overpass down in Florida. I mean that's almost flat.

    Not sure if he got in a hurry and forgot to put his britches on this morning. Or maybe it is now legal to truck in your underwear.. Who knew? Guess it would be more comfortable?
