I've been in nearly in them all . Pete's and KWs work best with the KWs having the best amount of room for me .

What kind of KW are you running? I always found the KW and Pete cabs to be too short for me to sit comfortably in.
I like the Freightliners, I like the airliner suspension and Detroit's and the extra leg room in the cabs.

For me my trucks have a Bulldog on the hood leading the way.

For me, Pete and Kenworth are good. They work good and they look really cool.

Mine is a 1974 corn binder in its 2nd life as a tandem dump after riding the freeways for years as a tractor. Mileage unknown but the 350 cummins still takes her down the road.

I have drove Macks R, CH, and the Maxliner and found the newer Macks to have more room than the R. Drove KW's and Pete's and also found them to be roomy. I have driven both spring and air ride, and don't care for the air ride in the CH model Mack. The most comfortable truck for me was the LTL 9000 Ford. Of coarse it had a 3406 Cat pushing 425 HP with 4:33 rears and an 8LL. I wasn't the fastest truck in the fleet, but my 0 to 60 time was the best.
It's funny you mention that rino. I don't have seat time in the fancy brands, I was a company driver and they purchased fleet brands. I've driven White, Mack, International under its various nameplates, Autocar but my favorite to drive was the Ford LNT 9000. Same cab as the LTL with a shorter hood. I loved the instrument layout on the wrap around dash with normal readings set at 3:00 on all gauges. That big windshield and short hood made for excellent vision going down the road. The last one I drove had a 350 Cummins, jake brake, A/C, Bostrom air seat and AM/FM stereo. I didn't need anything else LOL!
