Help Picking out a Truck!!!
 

After my 6 week training period (Werner) I get to pick out a Tractor. Here are my choices!

Kenworth W900 / Freighliner Classic XL / Peterbilt 379 Ext. Hood

Peterbilt 387 / Kenworth T600 / Freightliner Century

They just bought some new International ProStar: http://www.trucker.com/extimages//TO...4/81279178.jpg



And some new Peterbilt 386: http://www.peterbilt-knox.com/img/li...teal%20DE1.jpg

I'm leaning towards the Pete 387 or the ProStar?

If u gotta go with a slow Werner truck go with the W900. I drove quite a few different trucks and it will always be my favorite. Plenty of room and rides good. Stay away from the freightliners, every one I ever drove was garbage. :c:

gotta say the 379 or 900...gotta love the looks of those trucks. the pro stars aint bad trucks we run a few at work and the guys like them i guess.

i picked the 379, my second would be the w900. if i was gonna buy one myself i would look at the volvos. the ones we had at ranger would out pull and get better milage than the frieghtliners we had :U:

Supposedly there governed @ 65mph with 450-500 Cats/Cummins/Detroits???

I like the classic trucks, but since I get a fuel bonus I'm kinda partial to the aerodynes!

Get a Cat if u can too. They r good reliable engines

Comfort goes a long way. i told the last guy I worked for and Ill say it again. Id rather make a lil less money and have have a nice, reliable, comfortable truck then make more money and be worn out and beat up all the time. Eleven hours of drivin 7 days a week takes a toll on you. I'd ditch the fuel bonus for the more comfy ride

w900 with cat c15 would be a good set up they dont turn with sh@$ but its nice:pca1:

for a fuel bonus get the international with a detroit.
Go with the Pro star you won't regret it. I used to be real big on Pete's and W9's, but if you don't own it, who cares, drive whatever is going to make you the most money. Thats why your out there right. Good luck and be safe.

You forgot the Freightliner Cascadia, Columbia and Kenworth T660. Werner trucks are all governed at 65 MPH. Hopefully you arent expecting something as nice as the Fleet Sales the you posted pics of. Most of Werner's trucks now a days are pretty ratty unfortunetly. Most of the fleet has the Cat C-15 ACERT's. We still have a couple Classic's and Centurys floating around w/ detroits. The new Pete 387's, Kenworth T660's, and International Pro Stars run Cummins ISX's and they definetly blow the doors off the Cat's. The Cascadias have the newer detroits w/ the DPF's are are pretty much garbage along w/ the columbias w/ the Mercedes.

like diesel docter said werner only has a few or the few i saw while workin at the TA truck stop with detroits. they love them kitty pillars. if it was me id either go the W900 or the international prostar more than likely have the isx cummins which i would take any day.:U: What about the international Lonestar any one seen any of them yet?
