Default Nice Trucks?

Just thought I would check and see what company has the best equipment out there. I know equipment is not everything, but it goes a long way in making this job more enjoyable. I just would like to know what companies have the nicest rides.

It depends on what you call nice. If you are talking about ride and driver comfort, I have driven about everything out there and I think Volvo beats all of them hands down. 8)

Im not saying I am planning on giving up a lot of money, but I am interested in what companies have the nicer equipment. Also, I agree that TMC has some of the nicer trucks on the road. Are there any companies that have similar equipment to them?

US Xpress has nice trucks. As much as I hate to say it, Swift has nice trucks, too. CR England does as does Schnieder.

If it has a good CD player and nice speakers, as well as an A/C, it's nice to me. 8)
