    Was talking to a yard dog last night at NS 47 and he said they actually been busier this year than last year at this time. Said he working 6/12 a week and it's not even peak time yet and I thought to myself wtf maybe because they switched some destinations from 63 there but I don't see it

    The Cummins are good motors if you stay away from the DEF. I'd buy a Cummins with the dpf and have it "fixed". Since your planning on doing intermodel and not going to CA, the 2007 Detroits are a solid buy and fairly easy to fix and the parts are cheap. (Compared to a Volvo/Mack)
