What's the difference in backing up a autoshift and a manual?? I have only driven a autoshift and have never had any problem backing up.

Check on the rolling resistance on those XZR's, I believe it's pretty bad and that can cost you a couple grand a year or more!

Thanks Hobo !

Lets not forget abortions and gay marriage!

I'm not really up on what tire to run for the best (lowest ) rolling resitance, best to search around. But it does seem the lower the number the higher the price. At $4.00 a Gal. just a few points diff on the RR and you can more than make up the difference in price.

Look at Macks, Great Trucks. Dont over pay to have that Pete or KW logo'

[JB Express Transport]

Well...The 09 Pete is out...at least the one I checked out today.No more truck brokers...what a run-around.

Thanks for the advice Mackman...any recommendations for a model or what $50K will buy in a Mack...?

At this point....I've asked a number of people in trucking whats there choice...? and they're all different.A lot of people have said"Buy whats right for you" So...I think I'm back to the Volvo 780...06-09 pre-emission models.

Emissions models started in 03 with the expensive EGR.

Drove a 2010 Freightliner Cascadia w/360K miles on it ...today...2 yrs newer and half the cost of a Pete 387 with same mileage. Is the peterbilt name really worth it...?
