Kenworth vs Peterbilt

I’m sorry, I should have mentioned I plan on leasing it with a company who will run it for me. I work in the transportation business as well so I have experience in that just not on trucks. Hope that makes sense

I have very little experience with trucks and almost zero when it comes to repairs and maintenance. I plan on simply buying the truck and having someone else drive it. Reliability wise, what would you all recommend?

i recommend you not buy a truck. You have zero experience and knowledge and will only be able to afford a driver wlth zero experience...which means you will have lots of collision deductibles and the driver wont recognize needed repairs which will then augment to costly bills.

Its just crazy. Sorta like saying, "I have never even screwed a nail to a board before but im going to build me a house from the foundation up. i know nothing of cement, plumbing or wiring, but once it is finished, i will trust my tenants to let me know what goes wrong. Hopefully it wont catch on fire due to faulty electrical work."

Kenworth vs Peterbilt

I’m planning on getting a truck. I’ve had my cdl for 7 years but only drove for three in the oilfield. I have very little experience with trucks and almost zero when it comes to repairs and maintenance. I plan on simply buying the truck and having someone else drive it. Reliability wise, what would you all recommend? I used to drive a Peterbilt back in the oilfield and it drove like a champ. Got a chance to drive a Volvo and was very impressed but I’ve heard repairs can be expensive. Based on what I’ve read online, I’m between Peterbilt or Kenworth and would love to hear what you all think and recommend. Thanks in advance
