| Ah the Kenworth w900 the best truck ever made. We have one, the truck that started the whole company, a Red and Silver 1988 Kenworh W900 Flat Top. 650+ HP and still rolls black smoke today. Its a beast of a truck Quote:
The volvo's are nice. We have 5 volvo 670's and there nice and roomy. I like the international prostar's but I can't get over the damn automatic transmission in the heartland express trucks. | |

Just thought I'd share this. We bought this truck back in 2007 and it was a 2000 379 pete. Mint condition and only 132,000 miles for a 7 year old truck. 6 months and 1 depressed pill popping truck driver later this is what it looks like. |

| Oh he did. My dad had to drive around 4 hours to go get him and then as soon as he got in the truck to leave my dad said, don't bother coming back your outta here. Then later that day somebody did donuts in the parking lot and through out a bloody tampon in the middle of the donuts. |

| All the heartland trucks i've seen of the prostars are all automatics. They shift just like a straight shift would but it does it on its own. The tranny controls the throttle went it goes to shift. It still bounces and stuff expect you don't have to shift. The only reason you can tell is because they let it on the floor to get to go anywhere.
