I believe Swift is still running anything that is sloped nosed, and doesn't have a Red Oval.

they got some long nose KWs. and no, those aren't 3rd party lease trucks. they are '05 700s or 900s ... or some sort of "hundred".

Kev, the problem with sticking to one brand, eventually they could start taking your lunch money without you really knowing it. If a maker gets real comfortable with you and realize your going to stick with them, they will try to gouge you a little bit down the road by charging you more money for the truck than it's actually worth. Look around, make them think they will lose your business by purchasing another brand and watch how that price drops for a new truck.

What your saying isn't wrong in theory, simpler is better all around but maybe someone else has a better truck out there, won't know unless you shop around and try out others.

You're wrong, I saw a Pete 386 Swift Company truck in Phoenix last month.

(Shows I'm not on the road anymore, or I probably would have seen one by now. Well, I'm trying to remedy that.)

I don't see many lonestars on the highways in my neck of the woods but I see more and more Prostars (atleast they are not quite as fugly as the lonestars) and cascadias.
