    2004-2007 Model, Prefer Freightliner Columbia or International 9400i
    Detroit 12.7 or 14L or possibly ISX
    Mileage depends on maintenance history and type of use, less than 800K preferred
    Midroof or Condo
    10 speed preferred, but would consider 13 speed
    3.58 or similiar rear end

    We value good ownership, usage, and maintenanace records. The more data on the truck, the more value we see in it. If we could find another o/o looking to sell, that would be ideal.

    Any help, advice, or leads is appreciated.

    We have looked at fleet trucks and have a good base of knowledge on what we're looking for. Will most likely be pulling dry van in midwest region.

    Most of the trucks I have looked at are18 to 30 grand. I too prefer a 13sp...but I 'm looking at value of the truck/cost, maintenance history, dyno as bigger factors.

    I just posted my 2006 9900ix for sale today . You can check it out. I do have a 2006 9400i also it has a cat 10sp with 3.21 rears it will be same price as the 9900ix because i had a cat inframe done in July about 80,000 ml's ago which came with a 3year unlimited mile warranty better know as a gold kit. I have drove this truck myself for the past 4 years
