    27xxx trailers are only about 3 years old at most. The one in the picture just needs to be washed.

    We currently run full sized condo's... Freightliner Cascadia's, Peterbuilt 387's and now 587's.

    The lightweight trucks are all mid-roof with a short sleeper (full width though)...

    Freightliner Columbia's and now Cascadia's. Peterbuilt 386's. International 9400's.

    As for the rest, we had some Kenworth T600's brought in 3 years ago during a production interruption at Freightliner, but haven't got any more since then; any of those that are still around were bought from Prime by the drivers. There is also at least one International ProStar brought in on a test case - not getting any more. The oldest truck is an O/Os '89 (I think) Freightliner FLD in the flatbed division. He's had it leased on since he bought it new.

    It definitly needs a good washin. Ive been trying to do research on these trucks, International does not list the 9400 series on their website. I have seen a few Internationals in SpringMo, but cannot find the truck on the website...

    Thanks! I seem to be having difficulty finding interior pics of these small trucks. I love the Petes, at least the looks. Have been told they are harder to back with. But Im just dreaming right now since Im stuck at the house.

    One of the trucks listed above by IP. Solo drivers get the trucks with the smaller sleepers. The advantages are these trucks can haul more weight, and they are not as long, so easier to menuever.
