Which truck have you driven that made you think, "if I have to stay in trucking, this is THE only thing I want to drive"?

& HEven though SEFL said they won't be buying anymore of them, the Freightliner Cascadia's are actually smoother riding than the Volvo's. If they'd just let the Detroit 400 work without their interference and castration of those motors, it'd be a good truck.
That's sounds like a party rig! Did it have a special mt dew dispenser for when yr buddy Dave runs team with you? really sounds like a posh ride. I've only been in a day cabBack in the day when I ran OTR for five years I had a Volvo 770. It had the drivers lounge package where the bottom bunk converted to a table and chairs which was a plus.
I had a refrigerator, TV and VCR, Nintendo, microwave, etc. It was a great riding and driving truck. The 13 speed tranny mounted to the N14 Cummins ran strong too.
As far as Local trucks go, I'd have to say Volvo too. They're the most comfortable, and their maneuverability is a big plus too.
I'm not even sure what a "lipe" is lol. Sounds like a rough ride though& H
I see you two have never driven a real truck.
Overland Transportation ran a 46 Chevrolet with a 270 cu in GMC gas engine, 3 spd Brown & lipe aux.
Full air brakes, (not air over hyd.) Budd wheels also had R&H.
Hauled freight between Charl and Akron Oh.
And you thought you had big horses!

When you're on the road 4 weeks straight it is worth it to have the extras.
You must remember, Dave's a cost cutter, radio only had AM.
Dave "wouldn't" hang with you.Dave couldn't hang with me in the road days. My fridge only had sweet tea or Sun Drop.
am radio only- fm not invented yet
