they got some long nose KWs. and no, those aren't 3rd party lease trucks. they are '05 700s or 900s ... or some sort of "hundred".

Kev, the problem with sticking to one brand, eventually they could start taking your lunch money without you really knowing it. If a maker gets real comfortable with you and realize your going to stick with them, they will try to gouge you a little bit down the road by charging you more money for the truck than it's actually worth. Look around, make them think they will lose your business by purchasing another brand and watch how that price drops for a new truck.

What your saying isn't wrong in theory, simpler is better all around but maybe someone else has a better truck out there, won't know unless you shop around and try out others.

Does Swift have APU's on their trucks?

You're wrong, I saw a Pete 386 Swift Company truck in Phoenix last month.

No APUs on any Company Truck.

As many of those fat slobs that drive for swift, they wouldn't be able to squeez in between the two seats to get into the bunk.. Have you been inside a 386 yet?? it's tight as hell!!!!!! Nice truck tho, at least mines is..

OK, I see it's an International Lonestar, and it's supposed to be some kind of retro thing in the style of the new Mustang or Charger, but I say again, WTF is that monstrosity? That is one freaking hideous truck! Wow! I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

(Shows I'm not on the road anymore, or I probably would have seen one by now. Well, I'm trying to remedy that.)

I don't see many lonestars on the highways in my neck of the woods but I see more and more Prostars (atleast they are not quite as fugly as the lonestars) and cascadias.
