Congrats to you!
While every driver will give you a different opinion, I always loved my Swift Columbias.... 2002 and 2005 being the best model years in my opinion :wink: Think of it this way, a higher mileage tractor has been out there *working*, not constantly broken down in the shop. Swift used to trade their tractors in at approx 500,000 miles, but lately they've been hanging onto them longer, and in some cases, even purchasing back some of the old tractors that didn't sell in auction at Freightliner. Enjoy it while you have it, the Volvos still have a good many electrical bugs everyone is trying to get worked out :wink:
