Ive never seen Walmart using a large car, you sure it was a 389
Go past Walmart's new DC in Minersville, PA, right off exit 119 on I81. They have all brand new large cars for thier drivers. You can see the lot from the interstate.

Im past there quite often, I see mostly Pete 388's, no 389's

I Hate to be the second person to disagree with you but I would think you are seeing 386's at Wal-Mart and not 389's Wal Mart is right in the middle of all that super effecitient fuel management research and stuff all the way to the point that they are tinkering with Peterbilt Hybrid tractors...they have a tone of the 386's which are aero types....I seriously doubt that they would get a fleet full of flat nosed large cars these days....but if you say you saw them, who am i to argue. But are you sure this isnt the trucks you are seeing?

Yup your right they are 386's, I just seconded guessed myself, I had to go to Peterbilt site myself to be sure. I knew the werent 389s at the Walmart. I did get the model wrong. They are 386's.

I've seen one of the Pete 389's a few 880's and a Prostar at our International.

The International is dog ass ugly.

Yep, it was the 386, my bad. I have seen some 389's though. I remember that upper hump on them as being ugly considering the rest of the truck looked like the former 379.

I wouldnt know what the new Volvo looks like. They all look the same to me, so I dont know if I've seen any new ones. I dont pay any attention to them. :P I've seen a lot of the 386s. I havent seen a 389 yet. I would like to.

I was looking at the truckpaper, and came across this one.
