Peterbilt Vs. Freightliner Vs. KW
As for the debate between Freightliners and Peterbilts I wonder if it can be justified by the following hypothetical example:
John Doe works for Joe Schmoe's trucking company. He is VERY happy there as they are an excellent company with great pay, easy loads and excellent driver retention. One problem is Joe Schmoe uses Freightliner trucks. John Doe comes on here extolling the virtue of Freightliner trucks when he really is just trying to be justifiably positive about his company. I wonder, given the choice, would John Doe rather be in a Peterbilt instead of a Freightliner?
The weak arguments I've heard for choosing a Freightliner over a Pete are sometimes quite humorous. My FAVORITE is "I don't want to look over a big hood." Excuse me but if you can't judge distance over the FRONT of your ride, how the heck can you back and dock and judge the BACK of your ride 52 PLUS FEET BEHIND YOU???
IMO Freightliners couldn't hold a candle to a Pete and contrary to some of your beliefs on here, I HAVE driven BOTH. Countless times on the CB radio I've heard everyone agree, hands down, Petes are better trucks. Quality, resale value, appearance, driver satisfaction etc...
Going to start a poll on the subject.
