Help Picking out a Truck!!!

You've heard my piece on Werner so I'll just say based on the list of trucks, if you want fuel economy, get whatever has the non-DPF Detroit in it.
How much is your fuel bonus actually going to be? $5,000 a year? More? Less?
I'm guessing much less by the time all is said & done....better off losing a few bucks out of a paycheck to be comfortable. Back doctors are way more expensive than any fuel bonus will ever offset.

cowboy customs, i found that post on another site some other guy wrote I have been a O/O since I started driving, no school no trainer and learned everything through experience, was up to 5 trucks at one time, drank started drinking at 10 am most days, never going back to that again, now i just haul livestock all over the place burnin up the road...
Heh, I know how the drink goes.... Got any pictures of ur setup?

It doesn't take much in nebraska to get right with it I go to grand island a lot and can make pretty good time... You hit about 80 and most guys are asking for their doors back cause their limited out at 65-70 and really makes it look like your movin when you go by them, Going to NC tommorow so I'll have to slow down my ways a little..

I used to love to run with ya'll crazy bullhaulers. Me and this guy in a blue Pete with a bullrack made record time comin across I-70 in Ohio one day. I dont think we came under 90 mph all the way across unless four wheelers got in our way. Best trip i ever had across that damn slow state

got done with orientation tuesday night, got picked up by my trainer late wednesday night. I've got 1200 miles in 2 days. I'm on the dollar general run. trainer says I'm going 2 do all the driving and he'll do the unloading, that's fine with me! I'm driving a new freighliner century with the new DD15 and a super 9. with the way the truck is geared and governed, there's not enough poop to get the 9 into overdrive which is fine cause she'll hold 65 on mild grades. the overdrive is suppose to be automatic.
My trainer took the weekend off so he put me in a motel. Werner is paying for 1 night and he's paying for the other!
So....from what I've been told/heard about Werner seems to be a bunch of B.S. or maybe I'm just lucky??? So far so good. All of the drivers I've talked to have been with the company for quite a few years and seem 2 be happy!
