    Sounds like a Idaho Falls truck, not many 13s in the fleet and the reason we have them is for the dedicated Assosiated account. Around 400k they are pulled off the line and put in normal service until retired. We have 1 here thats around 460k still runs good, just old.

    Are you out of the Idaho Falls Terminal ? Anyways, I know the truck you speak of if so, They have done alot to the truck as of late and it does have a new turbo now they are guessing its Injectors /shrug. Poor truck has had a long life wont be long before it goes bubye tho.

    Well, i just started. Was suppose to get a truck with <30k miles on it, but it got in a wreck sometime in the last 6 days.. said it was assigned to another driver when it was suppose to be assigned to me. But I don't believe that. I wasn't expecting to get a new truck, regardless of what was promised to me. Made it clear last week I just wanted a reliable truck with less than 200k miles on it. Doesn't sound like there is an available truck with less than 200k miles on the refer side.

    Trucks are terminal specific, So we may have no empty trucks with that in Idaho Falls. I just got rid of my truck which had 40,000 on it as I hate the auto Internationals. One of our new trucks did get in a wreck here on Thursday I think it was. He got head on by a 4 wheeler that was not paying attention.

    Just my fkin' luck.. ## my life.. worst luck in the world if that is true.

    The truck that I just got out of is a Volvo with 300k miles on it. 2 check engine lights, no a/c and a couple of other problems. I do not want to get back into that nightmare of a truck. With my luck, It will be towed.
