They're all good when they're running, and when they're broke down none of them are worth a crap.

That said, my opinion is that Mack is the best.

(Even though I'm working on Internationals nowadays)

1) Peterbilt
2) Freightliner
3) International
4) Volvo (I have had a run of bad luck with them)

Everyone has their own opinions on this... I only own CATs and only Petes (359 or 379) or KWs (W900), PERIOD

I wouldn't take a free Freightliner, Volvo or anything with a Detroit... would leave trucking if that was my only option.

Then again, some people love green motors and plastic trucks... to each their own.

Other people just like saving ~10k in fuel over the c15/w900 combo.
