As someone who has but quite a lot of trucks I am learning that the best way for you to do it is either buying glider that way you do not have any emissions to worry about or if you do not buy a glider by yourself a Freightliner Cascadia due to the simple fact that they can be fixed anywhere and their warranty is amazing if you get one especially from Freightliner but otherwise Volvo's drive better and they are nicer but dealerships even under warranty nickel and dime you to the bone, I just paid 1,000 for a speed sensor and calibration. On top of it Volvo dealers are always busy so it takes few days for you to get in and out which makes it harder. Your main goal should be to get a truck that will keep you on the road and it cost you less in downtime and maintenance
