    I wonder what truck you ended up getting for your new driver, you asked a good question and gave a lot of details but unfortunately got a bunch of useless comments...personally I would have picked the volvo with the rebuilt cummins.

    If I was to pull the trigger again I would seriously consider an auction, Ritchie bros had 4 2013 lonestars with under 400000 miles immaculate condition in appearance. I know that doesn't mean anything with whats going on under the hood all 4 sold for 33,000 a apiece, and these were some decent looking rigs with full chrome package upgrade.

    Dude......stop. there is a reason they were at the auction and a reason they went "cheap". Possibly the worst engine ever built

    I'd try to find a freightliner classic even though I hate newer freightliners always liked the classic and usually and find them for 25 to 30k.

    I know the international prostar with that maxxforce motor is garbage, but I never heard anything negative about the lonestar with the cummins motor. I could be wrong
