I Love my KW T700 except the turn radius need lots of room to do a uturn and some yards are just to small so I got to jack knife a nd back up and cut it hard
I havent had the chance to drive a Pete yet but have drove the rest -

I really liked my kenworth 660 when i was there but it had its interior shortcomings.....had volvos and just so generic....trained on a 2008 freightliner....mmmmm..it was fine....so i got to say the prostar i been in for almost 3 years is my favorite....she's grown on me mightily!......
scottied67 Thanks this. -
Trained on a T2000 which I really hated but didn't even know how much til I got my company Volvo's which were a dream in comparison. 6 or so months after going solo I teamed up with my mentor on his T2000, long story short, it was a 3.5 week descent into hades where he didn't pay me fair and spent most of my waking time sales pitching me on taking over his truck payments and giving him $0.10 cents per mile for 'helping' me get into a lease truck I couldn't otherwise do on my own.
I got off his truck when we came home, Swift did to their credit agree to hire me back as a company driver, just at the time there was over week waiting period for an available truck. I called the recruiter inquiring about the truck that was parked out front, (the one I have now) and was turned down for the lease program. I called back the next day and they did decide to take a chance on me.
Anyway, all that to say I am in a 2010 T660, I hated it at first due to the very cramped interior but now after living in it for 2 solid years with my dog I have come to love it.Tapeworm Thanks this. -
Have to say that I am very partial to my 2 tone T660 Studio
Tapeworm Thanks this. -
I love KW trucks. I drove a T2000 for awhile and also a T660..... I like the body style and interior of the T660 over the T2000.

Trucks I drove for Swift? I started with an International 9400i with a 51" sleeper.. old Merit truck. They were going to give me an FLD with a double bunk condo, but the truck reeked of piss. It was a bit lacking in space, but I liked the International. Then I got a Columbia which had ended up in Eden by accident. It had been used for the Rocky Mountain doubles, so it had more power (same 12.7 DD60, though) and a 13 speed. It was a pretty good truck.
Favorite truck I've ever driven... about a year ago on Craigslist, I answered an ad for a guy who had bought a truck and a manual detach RGN in Colorado, and needed it delivered to Texas, along with a front end loader he had also bought. The truck was a 97 Marmon with a 3406E Cat. That was a nice ride. -
My favorite truck was whatever one I had at the time. I stopped counting when I reached 10 trucks in my first year. Between breakdowns and taking my truck away whenever I went home, I am just happy when I have something that runs decently.
