    I actually like the look of the 389. I see more of those here lately. I saw a red flat top, pulling a skateboard the other day. It had LEDs all around, and it looked like the guy had already had a set of straights. Perty.
    I like the 359 as well. The Corvette dash. Gone but not forgotten. I see quite a bit of 359s pulling, hopper bottoms/cow trailers.
    Like the one in my avatar. Belongs to a friend of mine. He, his dad, and brother are custom harvesters. Every once in a while, I get to drive it. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I drive it Then, I'm cussin when I drive that slow butt SYSCO truck.

    I can't vote because you don't have a "none of the above" choice.

    None of the options would get very good fuel mileage. Out of the three I would say the Freightliner would be a little easier on fuel, based upon what some drivers have told me.

    I prefer the w900 and have owned several. The main reason now is that I am a local day cab schmuck and KW is the only company offering the extended day cab and at 6'4" tall I need all the extra room I can get.

    this.

    All your choices would cost a lot of extra in fuel unless it is used for car or bull hauling.

    I've never driven any of those three. My personal favorite has been the International 9900i. I don't really care for an extended hood truck, because I like the shorter wheelbase trucks which turn more tightly. I'm sure they're all nice, but if I'm getting paid the same, regardless of which truck I'm driving, give me the more convenient one. I've spent enough time being stuck trying to get out of a truck stop because a brand new driver with a company like Werner or whoever else can't get their Classic XL backed into a tight spot at the truck stop.
