I have a buddy that will only drive Peterbilt or KW. I asked him if he was offered a job making a 100k a year driving a volvo would he take it? He said nope I will not drive a volvo. He told his current employer when they bought 5 volvos that if they give him one he was going to quit and walk out. He said he wants to look good going down the road. I don't care what I drive as long as I can make money

although a few chosen trucking companies pay top dollar AND HAVE such nice equipment, they may very well be in a minority of companies.
no one, in my most humble opinion, needs to look good going down the road. a truck needs to be functional and dependable. not saying Pete's or KW's ARE NOT dependable and functional, but he should look at it from a different perspective...
will going down that road, looking good, buy him a home or condo or town house, if he get's paid less than any of us that drive the standard equipped company trucks..??
i think not.
oh sure, he may have a brand new pick up truck, maybe a brand new Mustang or "Vette", but what else can he show for IF and i say IF he does not get enough miles or cents per mile.??
i'll just bet, he's one of 'em guys, that drives into a truck stop, or the customers property with his Jake brake on.
well you know what...good luck to him and his ego inflating attitude towards what type of rig he drives.
many of us here have already stated, "give me a plain truck or ordinary truck AND THE MONEY"
