Hi new to this forum

I have been reading posts from this forum and have found some good information on expediting and trucks in general. I've been in expediting nearly 10 years and currently waiting for new truck delivery in mid-March. I ordered the truck from a dealer who had never put an expediter together so everything was spec'd from previous experience and information from this forum and numerous others. Like the Class 8 truck pictures here, just wondering why KW's T300 & Pete's 330 were posted in Class 8 pics? Hope this forum continues on its present course with no company or truck bashing. Life is full of compromises and driving a particular truck or leasing with a carrier is a personal choice each individual must make.

No matter what the dealer may tell you that 300 or 330 pete is a class 7 truck and not a class 8. The dealers tell you it's built on a class 8 chassis.

Glen is correct that they are a class 7. They are however built with the same components (dash, electronics, interior, cab, excluding hood) that the class 8's have. To a lesser degree is the Sterling class 7. That is why at times they are put with the class 8's. In addition, because of the gvw they may be classified that way as well. An example of this would be tri-axle dumps ect.
