If I had my choice of trucks, I would go with a Volvo. If I had my choice of model, it would be a 780. Comfortable, quiet, easy to drive, regardless of the model, and plenty of room in the 780.
However, with that said, as a company driver it is really about the company than it is about make and model of truck. Pay, home time, bennies, and above all else, how I am treated.

I realize that its not about the truck but the company.I see a lot of trucks on the road all the time and always wonder what kind or style is the ultimate cruising machine that truckers would love or do love.

Western Star 4900EX, stratosphere sleeper, 82" ultra high, with an APU. I'd like it canary yellow with some black pinstriping and chrome out the wazoo.
