    if so, it hasn't worked too well. I'm seeing a lot more Cummins power. Walmart, Werner, Crete, CFI, Swift/Knight etc.. are all using Cummins powered trucks. If no one wants to buy Paccar powered equipment, that kind of forces their hand

    Our 579’s are PACCAR powered. The injector issues are a flippin joke! I’ve got 168K on mine. They don’t run on “winter” fuel. We just run them until they barely pull and then Rush sends a road tech to the yard to clean them. Been hearing for two years that the new injectors are coming……yea this would kill an independent owner op no doubt.

    I had a brand new '25 Cascadia that was all Detroit before I went out on medical last month. Was assigned at end of October. Put 50k on it by mid March. I'm not sure if/when they are switching to Cummins. This is the first I've heard of it
