    They have 3 years left on the lease of the freightliners....

    the prostars look good right now because of fuel mileage but there is a lot to evaluate between now and then.

    they have not been to the northwest in winter yet.

    i think the whole single screw thing wont cut it in bad weather...

    other than that i dont mind them. These are the bigger prostars and they do ride good plus i like the maxxforce climate control system better. And they have fridges....

    Another thing to consider is in 3 years the LNG engines will be hitting the highways and that will be a game changer in trucking...

    Yeah the only positive I see is 3 more years with the Freightshakers. I've driven a 2014 Prostar, not a fan.

    Like you said, a lot of time between now and then, I too have a hard time believing they will average 10 over the long haul.

    I was thinkn the same, a couple more good OTR years and It won't matter what I do after that. That's why I want to make sure I make the best decision available.
