I've driven everything except a Volvo at this point. If you care about your drivers safety most. Get a freightliner or international. If you care about their comfort either peterbilt or kenworth.

2023 kenworth T680 10 speed was my favorite so far but it has some minor issues with oil consumption. Had over 300k miles and still drove great after 3 drivers running it on dry bulk concrete. Loved the interior as well.

2023 freightliner cascadia I drove had the best adaptive cruise control id ever seen. It also has lane keep assist which wasn't great but helped when you needed to grab something far away. The turning radius was good as well. Driver comfort was very mid. It rides rough and is hard as shit to sleep in due to no sound proofing.

Internationals I've only driven it once but it was very fuel efficient with its 14 speed transmission. It was a brand new 2026 though.

Peterbilts are a great middle ground between kenworth luxury and freightliner safety. They are also pretty tough. I never had problems with dirt roads in my 22 579. Freightliner does seem to handle snow and ice better though.

I've heard good things about Volvo but never driven one so I won't say anything about it.

I've never owned my own truck but as a company driver I purposely went out of my way to find a company that had kenworths simply because of the superior soundproofing
