      hey chrome i have a newbie slash kinda dumb question. is an international called a corn binder?
    • ChromeDome
      yes. An International is called a Corn Binder. Kind of like Freightliner is a Freight Shaker. Have not been in that truck for 3 years now and still kind of miss it. I saw one of Fitzgeralds trucks like that one (or that one) the other day. They have 3 of them that color. They bought at auction when Path trucking went out of business. Not the largest sleeper. But still a good looking truck.
      That one is a pre-order 2007 ultra light spec. So it has smaller sleeper and smaller tanks. I could put almost 54k on the deck with that truck. but it would only run 75. Was not geared for speed.
      My 9400 I had with that company before that had a 500 cat. And tall gears. It would run around 110 I am guessing. I hit 103 one day in it by accident. And it was still pulling.
      Now I am in a 64 mph truck. I never usually ran much over 70 anyway. But it was nice to have the extra if needed to get away from situations. Or on Friday to run 80 on 80 in PA to get home lol.
