    If those were my two picks, I would go with the International. Lower mileage and better motor, no EGR... Maybe... If it is a CM-870 in there, that is a stout motor, and more than likely will have EGR. I would still go with it over the Detroit.

    The beauty of the Cummins, you can get an Inline 5 or 6 reader and do your own diagnostics and tuning. Another plus for the International. The rest of the truck, no idea, but if in good shape, that is the way I would go.

    The Freightliner at 35K is a touch steep in price. It better be perfect for that kind of money.

    The international is ok, but it's a cummins. I would want a detriot or a CAT.

    Also, if you think to spend 35K consider seriously a midroof sleeper that will open up your HOS logs options considering how tight trucking has become with the ELD's
