    you may have done allright if the truck is in good shape. Doesn't seem too far out of line for mileage and year 9400. What engine, Cummins ISX ?

    It is a good set up., If it has a 13 speed it will pull economic and real good , 10 speed good too. Good looking truck .

    Its a used truck and you've already bought it! All you can do is make the wheels go around and watch your money!! You will know next year if it was good or bad. Set your mind that its a good deal and run with it! Good luck!!

    I have a 06 9400I, ran containers for about 4 years in it, good truck for the job, 525 hp is what you'll need for pulling that weight and yet the truck is small enough to maneuver around in the port, 2007 is an excellent year also, hopefully its a pre def engine, last year of its kind, if it is pre def, do your homework on that engine, it can be finessed to run as trouble free as the older engines...
