Buying the Right Kenworth® Truck for Your Operation

Apr. 30 2020 Buying Guide By Staff

Many drivers and fleet managers count on their Kenworth trucks to safely and efficiently transport cargo. Truck driving is one of those professions that many people take for granted, but when things go wrong, the consequences can be severe, which is why getting the right truck is the first step in better transport. That’s why Palmer Trucks has provided a breakdown of some of the Kenworth truck models we have for sale at one of our many locations. 

We know that even during these unusual times, the truck industry can’t stop, so neither will we. In the interest of safety for our staff and our customers, please call your nearest dealership about any services or models you may be interested in. We have locations in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois, so let us know how we can help you today!

T880

With a bold design, the T880 is the ultimate work truck. Helping you on all manner of worksites and providing versatile performance, these trucks are tough, durable, and powerful. Above all, they’re designed to be reliable. That’s why you can count on the T880 through thick and thin. This is partially thanks to the body integration technology, which allows you to work with a range of bodies and PTO functions, so you can keep hauling no matter what the cargo. 

W990

An all-day truck for all-day work. The W990 is the perfect match for the driver that has a long way to go, every day. These sleeper cabs come with all the comforts you need for an overnight haul, including sleeping space and a small kitchen. They also come with the iconic PACCAR® powertrain, complete with innovative technology and advanced manufacturing to provide fuel efficient, lightweight designs for a lower cost of ownership, while still providing you with the hauling power you need for the everyday grind.

T270 & T370

The Kenworth T270 and T370 take us into the medium-duty truck category with models that are designed to be versatile, efficient, and reliable. Daily hauling can provide a different adventure each day and your vehicle needs to be ready for anything. With a cab wide enough for three and optimized for comfort, you can bring your crew along without feeling packed in. Not to mention you’ll have complete control, no matter what size truck you choose.

Other Kenworth® Features

One reason why Kenworth trucks rise above the rest is their continued commitment to innovation. This includes providing each truck with TruckTech+, which offers remote diagnostics, so if one of your dash lights goes off, the program immediately sends an update to the fleet manager and designated Kenworth dealer. This means, even if you’re in the middle of nowhere, you won’t be alone if your truck starts to sputter.

You can also get other driver assistance technologies, like adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation system, and lane departure warning. On top of important safety features, you can also get helpful technologies to improve efficiency, like predictive neutral coast and predictive cruise control, which adapt to the changing conditions of the road to shift in and out of gear in a way that can improve your fuel efficiency, even in hilly areas.

And this is just a taste of what you can get with a Kenworth truck. Durable, reliable trucks are the backbone of modern day commerce and we here at Palmer Trucks want to provide you with the best possible vehicles for your operation. We continue to support drivers and fleet managers, so contact us about choosing a Kenworth truck and we’ll help your work continue to thrive, thanks to our dedicated staff.
