    It works ..i guess..just wish teammate would take advice when offerd..we r both new to the industry and hav our shortcomings im sure the way i do somethings gets under his skin .but when i say "u wouldnt grind every gear if u wouldnt pish the clutch to the floor" he just looks at me like im a idiot ..lol guess bn old has its perks..like not listening to younger ppl..but lfe goes on..only 5 more weeks

    If you are coming in as a team will most likely get a new International Prostar. We have had 3 trucks with USX. The miles on them when we got the keys were 376, 10450 and 1740

    We got a 2012 used Cascadia. We put about
    6,000 miles a week avg on her, but she is a great
    truck w 320,000 miles trying to avoid the prostar upgrade lol

    I hear you on the "upgrade" really missed the Freighliner when they moved us to the prostar. After driving the 387 Peterbilt, however, we are never going back. Awesome truck

    For me the only downside to the ProStar was getting used to the fact that the upper bunk is wider than any truck I've ever had in my life.

    I hit my head on that thing probably a dozen times in the first week. I nearly went down twice, saw stars and heard birds chirping...
