    I drove a prostar for my first two weeks as a temporary truck. I love my '07 Columbia way more! It sounds like a diesel and not a Gasser.

    I will say I'd sign my life away to roehls lease purchase if they offered the international lonestars with a 600hp cummins and a 13 speed.

    I just finished the orientation and OTR training today and got set up with an '06 Columbia. Still in good condition. Haven't taken it out yet, but ran fine around the yard. Best of luck to you.

    I'll be more than happy if whatever I get has a Cummins

    Good luck with the Cummins request, not sure, but not too many left in the fleet. The old Internationals had them, but the new ones have the Maxx Force engine. The Volvo's might have red motors... Most of the Frieghtshakers are Detroit. Good luck with whatever you get. Personally I like my Nissan Pathfinder, better stereo, and lots more fun off road... Oh and I don't have to sleep in it...

    How many miles on her? I got my '07 Columbia at about 150k last month as my first- I guess they were part of this "mothball fleet" from a few years back which explains the low mileage. Not too many complaints yet, I might add.

    I got a '07 columbia. 710,984 miles and still running strong. Only problem I have is she likes to drink a gallon of oil every two weeks.
