Is Roehl ever going to get any new equipment?

congrats on the new ride, im 7-4/7-3 with a couple of 06 columbias
Is the kw running cummings power or is it the paccar engine ?
I feel in love with the new kw wide series trk not sure what they call it.

 

paccar, with the pee pee tank. gonna be scared to death to take 'er out.

 

I saw a nice Roehl Volvo # I 285 and I 20 about 11:30am today. I got the number but after spending 5 hours with mom, grandmother and aunt, I forgot the number.

 

Yea they bought a handful of volvos, international pro stars, and KW's to test out.

 

Seems like the got a boat load more of the KW's again....wonder if they made a choice....

 

Yea I have seen more KW and Volvos then anything else new for sure.

 

yeah I also wonder if they made a choice, I kinda hope not. Im sure thr kw is a nice ride but that cab, yikes a mini cooper has more room. what ever they go with has a lot to do with price , Im sure paccar, IH , and freightliner are all offering deals amd incentives. Im guessing kw is really dealing, seeing this paticular model a lot on the road lately.

 

Yea, If i heard correctly just around the shops they will be doing certain models for Flatbed and certain ones for Van etc... no idea how true that is but makes sense to me... Yea KW's are small as hell in the cab, if you are over 6 foot tall and more then 250 pounds you ain't getting in it, lol.. I'm 6'6" 320 and i was like a sardine when i sat in one up in Marshfield. lol... But I did like the Prostars.

 

The interiors on those prostars are kick ###! I even like the exterior too. I've heard tho, they have had major issues with the new Internationals, and the Freightliners tho.

As for the Internationals, the engine isn't even a brand name engine, its a hybrid between a cat engine and international engine. Which to me is scary since Cat got out of the truck engine biz because they weren't getting good results from the new emission legal engines.

 

I can confirm this. We've had one since December and it's been in the shop every 2 weeks or so. They seem to have some issues with the programming.
