    Preacher the pro stars are getting great mileage and have good power.
    The exhaust brake is almost worthless compared to a detroit with a jake.
    Another advantage with the max force engine is no DEF fluid to purchase.

    Just something to consider if ya go with another trk lease.

    YIKES ! You just might be stuck in that bad boy for awhile, depending on how quick roehl is upgrading the fleet. Hope ya dont have to wait long.

    I had my chance, they gave our home time group a 2012 babv 8 prostar
    and I got stuck with it when the other driver in my group went on kraft dedicated fleet.

    Nice truck but very small and the battery managment system wouldnt run the espar bunk/engine heating system and my cpap machine for a minimum of four hours. Now Im back in a 07 freightliner with a APU and
    about 525k and very happy. :biggrin_25525:

    I really need to get my truck back to a washbay...the mud at the GP in Rincon makes my truck look like crap...well maybe payday I will run her through the streakin beacon if I am not headed to Gary or one of the other terminals with wash facilities...(kinda want to use the hand wash rather than the auto wash) then maybe throw some polish on the rims to keep them lookin nice

    I ran one from Gary to Marshfield about a month and a half ago because it was sold. It was an automatic. Weird.

    I'm ready for a new truck. I got 720,000 on mine. It drinks a gallon of oil a week.

    My mpg's also keep going down.
