Mike....so much in so few words... now based on your pic: Pete>KW>Freightliner.. 8)

I know the generalizations about KW's workmanship and all but the rest of the components (driveline etc could be identical). It still seems that for two people plus dogs living in a space where the driver can lean over and lock the passenger door (almost), it just seems cramped compared to the roomier cab of the FL classic. I drive neither so I'm just throwin it up for discussion.

Now aerodynamics is a WHOLE 'nuther story.

 

Well I have driven most kinds of trucks,I started in a single axle cabover IH,I now drive the 379.I can say that I always used to laugh at people that said there was a big difference in trucks,but as of this moment based on what I have experienced I won't soon be going back to anything other than a Paccar product,my last truck was a W9 and the Pete and KW are just put toghther better IMO.

I would not however want to have another person and 2 dogs in the Pete,not enough room.

 

Well, the choice was Bo's he likes the KW. He has always wanted a KW and when the chance to get one came along he could not pass it up. The KW is a much better truck mechanically and yes it seems to have more quality to it BUT it does lack in space. I really didnt want to get back into a KW but I have made due.

The freightliner had MANY issues and was just made worse by putting a driver in it.

We are at the TA in wheeling WV today. We have to stay here till first light monday morning. There are 3 other combines here and a bunch of other oversize stuff. This is the end of the road so to speak....no oversize in PA or MD after noon Sat :evil: :evil:

We will unload Monday afternoon and then we are headed to NC for some R&R. It has been a while since we have been out of the truck!! we are going to do the final paperwork on the boat and spend a few nights on her. I found the camera so I will take pics!! No cell phone service there but the coffee shop does have wifi so I will update frome there....we will be getting a Verizon line soon I guess.

I'm home, bored and couldn't get a date tonight.


Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this NC port,
aboard this tiny truck.
Bo was a mighty Truckin' man,
Tootie brave and sure.
Gman, Teal set sail that day,
for a three hour haul, a three hour haul………
The road it started getting rough,
the tiny truck was tossed.
If not for the courage of the blue masked man,
Tootie would be lost; Tootie would be lost.
The truck took ground on the lot of this uncharted truck stop pit,
with Tootie, her husband too,
the G man, and his mask,
the Reverand, Yoopr and that floored chick,
here on Tooties slip.
