    Companies that buy thousands of trucks do not care about cosmetics. So it has NOTHING to do with driver preferences. It has to do with cold hard numbers to the bottom line of a companies profits.

    image.jpeg Given bumper to tail lights that this truck is no longer then the shortest cab over you have posted , why would it get stuck? If worried drop the tail and go one by one. image.jpeg Our newest body style. This was the 15,000th freightliner they have bought. Note no stacks, it's a work horse not a show pony .

    Notice Alpo had nothing to say about Freightliner being the first heavy truck to offer LED head lights... Really blow his mind , should we show him the Boise Ride Seat? He would not understand it anyway.

    You mean the Bose seats?

    Our new trucks have those and I don't like them at all. You can't adjust the back.

    Haycarter,while you are correct on Ceaser's homecountry,that map did leave a BIG chunck off Europe out.
    What happend is that they did the EU which is not the same as the continent Europe.
