    I've seen the new Freightliners in Chicago for at least 6 months now. I know they are trading in the Internationals, though not mine soon enough. I got 345k miles on it and they said not yet.

    I think the internationals are problem trucks, they went back to freightliners.

    That's what I heard too. I must be blessed with the anti-lemon truck. When I asked when I would trading this truck in (cuz I saw truck numbers higher than mine at CY being de-JB'd), my ops mgr said the costs on my truck were low enough to keep it a little longer. I figured I'd have been out of it by my next b service; well that b service is this week and no word yet. <sigh>

    I talk to drivers when I am around the international dealers and talk to them, The internationals I drive like to stay at the dealer especially due to the crappy regen system .

    The freighliners are for intermodal only, everyone else gets the prostar. I've been running my 2015 for like 6 weeks. no problems lots of heavy loads the cummins is doing a lot better then the maxforce or the freightliners. the prostars have a bit more room then the freightliners as well.
