    How you like your new truck? I rode in a 06/07 9400i and it wasn't a bad ride at all but in my opinion Freightliners ride better then again I'm a born and raised Freightliner guy from the heart so I'll be a bit biased! :P

    I've driven almost all Freightliners in my career, I'll keep this one anyday. Rides really nice, no rattles, just feels like a real solid truck. Interior is beautiful too, I'll get a pic of that tomorrow.

    Internationals do have nice interiors. I like the white gauges with green backlight, it's easy on the eyes thats for sure! But my only complaint against Freightliner is the cheap interior they used on the early Century Class and Columbia but at the sametime Volvo's are starting to grow on me. I keep hearing alot of good things about Volvo and it's catching my attention.

    243" more than likely Rev, Canada especially Ontario is very strict when it comes to wheelbase, if you pull a 53' trailer the wheelbase of the tractor can't be over 243" If the trailer is shorter than a 53' then you have however long of wheelbase you please. Ontario reminds of California....STRICT and stupid laws! That is the way I interput the law and is what I've been told by driver's who live in Ontario.

    That isn't correct. The wheelbase of the tractor needs to be less than 244", and it is only enforced in the Western provinces. Ontario doesn't bother with it. I've been up in Ontario with my 270" wheelbase hooked to a 53' already. Gone over several scales and passed several cops.

    Interesting! I thought it was Ontario that had that law requiring trucks licensed in Ontario pulling 53' trailers to be no more than a 244" wheelbase. Anyway Rev thanks for correcting me on that!

    It doesn't matter anyway, Ontario or not.

    I am in a Western Province, and I pull a 53'. 244 max.

    Ask me what the ticket cost me at the Putnam(London,ON) scales for my 270" wheelbase pulling a 53'. $375

    I too passed many cops and went over many scales before I was stopped and measured.

    Nice truck. So you pull for a United agent? I pull for a agent out of San Jose doing special products. I definitely need a front bumper like that when I'm up north!

    Canada= 244" max WB. My dad had thios truck spec'd with a 244 when he was on United's US/Canada fleet.
