Not sure, but if you can hum a few notes I could probably play it on the guitar....

And one other snide comment or question, in this case: If it's a W900 Rooster Cruiser, why is there a photo of a Pumpkin Century??????
Neither worth a damn, till it turns "YELLOW"! :lol:

I have a Big W900L Kenworth close to 600 horse Large Car, but The Freightliners and Schneider National is where the moneys at.

Good grief!!! :shock:

Glade you were not hurt.

So far, just out of my experience with different tractors, I would say I like KW's for their ride quality.

The cummins engines for their drivability(I know what my brother is talking about now).

But the detroits & cats pull very well.

The smoothest shifting was the freightliner I drove at school.

The "better" truck may not be the best value truck. Sure you can get a better truck than Freightliner, but you probably can't get a better value. :mrgreen:

My next truck is going to be a kw w900 with a c15 cat at 625hp. The best riding truck I ever drove was 2001 Mack CH613 with a MACK 454hp and a 10spd
