We call them flat-billers because of their owner's/driver's mentality. You got to make sure you put a air dump valve in the air-ride seat too so you can sit damn near to the floor too! Don't EVER forget that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen....and costing truck owners a hell of a lot more. I see these fricken "hino" trucks everywhere now. Hard to find a new international or freightliner in a straight job these days. A guy that has one told me "no, it's also a piece of shit, but it's a cheaper piece of shit to own". Lot of troubles with the IH's, and it's all emissions related.

I really enjoyed driving the Columbias, unless I was in the passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01mxz800 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 I could not get comfortable in it went back to a spring ride classic instead of that columbia, and it was brand new, old classic was so much better than columbia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those have to be almost the ultimate grain hauler for us. I think a T800 daycab might be better, but haven't drive one for a while to compare.

01mxz800 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 I will agree with you on the Volvo, drove a t800 today as my new 1 doesn't have permits for PA and it rode great and ran great until a stupid fuck stopped in the passing lane with no warning and I damn near planted the fucker in his ass, close enough to break my mirror and hopefully his too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
