    Let me tell you my experience with the thirteen letter #### spreader.

    In 2002 I was without a truck and although I wanted an F/L classic, I found a 2001 - 9900i spec'd exactly how I wanted it: S60, 18 speed, 3.73 Rockwells, rear locker. Because it was one year old and had never been sold, I got a smoking deal on it.

    40 months and $40,000 later I was on the phone with GE Capital asking how to give the truck back. That's a call I never though I'd ever make.

    Bottom line- I traded it on my Columbia for $10,000 less than I owed on it and haven't looked back.


    Run away from any binder at any price.

    Can't go wrong with a 05 . 3 years now and no majors. simple fixes and on time maintenance. I removed the egr and she runs like a beast. 8 to 9 miles a gallon saves me money. I paid 16000 and my 05 has already put me in the green.

    most of the major Carriers have age restriction for owner operator tractors. i.e. 5 years or newer
