Freightliners have 4 roof levels, a flat roof, raised roof, mid roof and then the condo. The 2 in the middle often get referred to the same although they are different heights. I drove a Freightliner mid roof for awhile. I'm 6'1" and could just barely stand up in it. If I remember right if I stood up really straight my head would just touch. I wouldn't take anything less than a mid roof and even that is stretching it. If I'm on the road for weeks I want as much room as possible. 8) 8)

I drive for "Swift" and we have the Volvo VN 670 and the VN 780. I'm 6' 5" and can stand up in the truck and not have to duck down at all.

I might be mistaken but I do believe that the Volvo VN 680 and 780 are condo's......right?? There is a difference between a mid-roof and a condo.

I am really kind of partial to a Kenworth W900XL. The new T660's are downright sexy. Although as of late, the International 9900's are lookin pretty sharp. That is a good thing about trucking, the trucks have a personality all their own, just like the drivers.
