So which one do you prefer 
For exterior style, the KW wins hands down, for everything else, the 780 wipes the floor with it.
i’ll try the volvo i think not driven a yank 
I try a KW, but you can put my name down for one of the Volvos if you dont mind 
…Volvo 
volvo i’d guess atleast on the outside, whats the inside like?
Hi NMM, i think given a choice I would go for the Volvo…only cos I know (zb) all about the other one!!!
Show us some interior pics if you can!

About half way down I mentioned no-neck and said that you may have a few thoughts about him!!!
Hope you and “uncle dave” are enjoying Canada…you`re missing nothing here!!
Cheers, bullitt.
Neal,
You gotta be a blue eyed boy to get a Volvo, I got one by default, that it’s the newest one on the fleet was a double bonus, mind you the KW was an 08, 1908 I think, what a heap of junk they are! They ride like they’re on solid tyres, nice bunk area though & a bit bigger than the Volvo, but to nick someone elses line ‘I’d rather push my Volvo than drive a Kenworth!’
Bullit,
Oh we’re loving it over here, Dave’s got himself a ■■■■■■■■■ 379 Pete with all the bling, he’s on the way to Orlando now with a load of frozen chips, I’m off to Syracuse, New York with a load of floor joists that had to be sheeted up in the wind & rain, how hard is it to get a front sheet off the roof of a Volvo when the wind blows it off the load, bloody hard, that’s how hard! As for No Neck, I’m sure he told me he’s been over here & done it all! Funny how you don’t miss certain people
Saw your unit in the Petro in Steinbach on Friday. May well catch you up on the way to Syracuse. Off to Ogdensburg to cross over. Tipping just over the US line.
The Volvo is a nicer truck, but the way the BFS ones are set up means you struggle to go to the sleeper from the drivers seat. Mine is a standard shifter so it is easy.
One thing about the KW though, they are tough as old boots and will go wherever you need them to go. For durability in tough conditions, you can’t beat them. I have yet to do a winter with the Volvo, and I wouldn’t take it on the ice.
The interior of the Volvo is what any European is used to in them. Everything to hand and all the gadgets. Mine has all electric windows and mirrors. All top spec.
And Alli, mines a 670. It’s a good truck. While I would like the 780, I ain’t holding my breath.
alright you lot stop gloating its giving me itchy feet!..
BTD,
What’s that girly trailer you got behind you all about?
You need to update your pics or this lot on here will think you’re going soft!
