Which semi truck is better.the Volvo VNL or Freightliner trucks?
The Eisenhower interstate program was built for trucks. Cars are just allowed on it. That was some time ago. Obviously now if you banned cars from the highway the world would end. Lol I believe if when you got your drivers licence you were taught about the dangers of big rigs and how to drive a car when there are big rigs around you, the accident rate would go down. look at trucks like guns. It's about who is operating it to the 99% cause of its accident. Assume the guy behind the wheel of the truck is a terrible driver.So keep an eye out to where they are. Is the truck behind you? Is it going to stop in time? If next to a truck assume they don't see you. When driving near a truck try to have an out. Give it space. Notice what the truck driver is trying to do. Is it tailgating, trying to pass or just chill. You can't control it but you can avoid it. Give the big dog it's room. It's the rule of the jungle. If an elephant is running try not to be in its path. Common sence.
Vague question. What purpose for the truck? O.T.R., Local delivery, Construction site delivery, Land fill etc. Trucks are available with wide variety of engine and transmission combinations, Air Ride or leaf suspension systems, power options, creature comforts and on. and on Honestly my suggestion would be the International Pro Sleeper. Tons of room to walk around inside that truck without being bent over. I love the cat engines although they are a little expensive to repair but a little more reliable. I love the Super Ten trans but a normal 9 speed will get you by just fine. Air ride suspension all the way baby, Air ride cab as well. Definitely get a Jake brake. Stay away from the Chicken Lights they look cool but can get you in trouble if the D.O.T. man is having a bad day.
