    I agree to a point. Everybody had a "real" truck until the plastic ones came out and all did fine. However, to each their own on that. If you want a plastic truck, hell......it's your money.....right. it's just not my thing is all I'm saying. However, if I had to buy another truck right this second......it would be a older 9200. I just can't see paying the asking money for anything else right now.

    I would like to have my old 9400 back. Was a “premium fleet” truck. Nice but not extra fancy.
    500 Cummins on a 10 and 3:55’s. That truck just went. Liked to cruise at 72 all day.

    Ohhh, I don't think they are stupid at all actually. If I was smarter than I was stubborn I would park my flatbed and drag a Box around for awhile. I can't fault anybody for making money......ever. I just don't have it in me. I delivered a few refer loads for a buddy when he was sick......and it's just not for me.

    All kidding aside, I think the older Internationals are a very underappreciated truck. I would take one in a second.

    Have only pulled a box one time. Worst 7 miles I ever run. They paid me 50 bucks to do it. That was like 15 years ago.

    Only place we can put it so it's not under the banner when we need to fly them. There's other occasional benefits for having the plate not in the usual location.

    Run a plastic LT now. Not a bad truck really. If I could find the right person, that knows what they are doing, and give it a fine tune, it would be a good truck.

    I don't feel any of the plastic trucks are "bad" trucks. They just aren't my thing and don't fit into my business plan. I think they are nicer and quieter than mine is though....on the inside. However, I like my loud offensive truck. That's what makes it a truck to me. If I were to do the truck recycling program though....I would buy a new Volvo every 4 years or so.
