Mostly you can tell be the design of the truck. I can't really describe the different shapes. It may be on your ownership card.

Sure ya! the cab part is nice and very well thought out. Sound proofing is good. The bunk on mine at least, Was not very well thought out. That could all depend on how it was spect'd. You may have different layout. The part I did not like was that there was no curtain to go around the windshield. So you are limited to just the bunk area with the curtain drawn.
I can say it has an excellent ride, Smooove. even in Michigan. I was talking to my Dad on the phone and he asked if I was home? I said no I am driving. he said he could not hear the truck. I said of course not it is a Kenworth not a junkliner. lol.

Enjoy my friend it is a great truck.

Ya I wish it had the curtain around the windshield, I have only drove it as a bobtail and it was smooth, bobtailing the volvo was rough. Thanks.

One guy that I worked with just got some of those NASA looking foil type sun blocker window covers and put them up at night, Gave him more space. Speaking of space. That narrow cab can be tough getting between the seats to the bunk. on the other hand it makes blind siding much easier.

Yeah your gonna miss the turning radius on that Vulva. But congrats you must be doing OK if they let you upgrade.

Bah! It will give you some idea of what turning an old Freight liner classic or an even older Freightliner was like. But trust me the old Freight shakers where far worse. lol

 

[Tazz]

Yeah I know



It is so much fun backing a 20 ft into a walled dock in an alley with one



Never thought I would wish for the turning radius of my old W900 back
