Should I buy a new Kenworth???

O/O. Think accident or two on record. Think she may have applied, and they said she had to wait awhile. Not long, like 5 months or something.

I'm back in Phoenix tomorrow. I'm getting this F fan clutch fixed if I have to inframe the engine. Top set. APU serviced. Full PM. I need a little down time. But I will be ready to go back out Friday if someone has enough money, as long as Casper is ready.

I saw these new Volvos with BIG dog boxes on them. Dealer in Iowa. Wonder what those go for?

 

I'd lease purchase it strait from the dealer. And right now they are probably over priced. When the right deal comes along though, then I'd do it.
I leased purchased this one right from Freightliner / Daimler.

 

Casper only has 450, plenty for me.

 

OK. Important new information.

1) I'm home enjoying a cold beer.
2) Marcus the terminal manger at Halberslaben AND Mr. Halberslaben were both there walking the lot when I pulled in. We talked for awhile, them hanging off Casper lol, they have fifty ( 50 ) late model 680s running out of Phoenix, all with MX-13's and zero engine issues. Marcus said average mpg is 8, and they go to SLC a lot. He said avoid getting the tire damage sensor system. Hit a bump, thinks you damaged a tire, and it is interlocked with the tranny, so they have all that deleted.

Other than that, they both spoke very highly of the MX-13.

3) Mr. Halberslaben complimented me on how clean Casper is lol.

So, there you have it. Yay many millions of miles of real driving with MX-13, and they say its a winner. Now these are starting with new trucks, and they typically trade up at about 400K.
