4 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got a 2024 International LT

Schneider issued me a 2024 International LT in summer 2023. As a new driver, I had no experience in getting the truck set up for me and none of the trainers tell you what you need to do when you first get your truck. I read the manual and searched online for the answers I needed and finally found them. Here they are for you.

Informative

That axle load is under by about 1700lbs. Also, the 2021 models had a huge problem with hub miles. The trucks would show less miles than you actually traveled. We settled with our company after employees figured it out. I'm still shocked that there hasn't been a class action against International yet.

[@AlleyDocked]

Oh wow. Yeah, that's bad for all kinds of reasons. Good to know.

[@brianwideman2342]

We had guys doing city miles running 350 miles coming in 30 miles short. These are known routes for the mileage. If your OTR that is a ton of $ As you can imagine International was very tight lipped about this.

@@brianwideman2342 Yeah, that should be a lawsuit. Crazy that it's not.

Sure thing. Thanks for watching.

International LT is one of the worst trucks I ever driven, they completely failed on the truck

[@AlleyDocked]

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan. It seems like a basic, entry level truck in every way.

2023 couldn't hold 120 psi It gets old fast when people are cussing you out for blocking traffic . Transmission also really suck if it is a automatic . But if that doesn't bother you then the rough ride probably will .

[@AlleyDocked]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this truck. I'd prefer a Volvo 860, Freightliner Cascadia or Kenworth T680.

[@TranslatedAssumption]

Trust me you do not want a newer Paccar truck, they are straight junk. I would take a freightshaker any day over one of those. I have a strong preference for Volvo.

[@BRobinson28]

Never get a international it’s a decom fleet truck which means 80 different companies has their hands in it I’ll chose a freightliner or a older kw or Peterbilt before paccar got involved

[@AlleyDocked]

Yeah, they didn't given me a choice. I asked for a Cascadia but was told "No, the truck is the truck."

[@BRobinson28]

@@AlleyDocked what company you with I heard a lot of companies are going to one particular truck line some companies are only dealing with Peterbilt they say it’s costly to have different trucks in the fleet

[@AlleyDocked]

Schneider has Internationals and Freightliners. Other carriers have different and more brands. More brands takes more effort and planning if they have in house shops.
