Drivers might not like Internationals but they do like newer equipment, which you always seem to have. I’m not too picky about what I drive as long as it’s clean and well maintained.

That was the first truck i really got my feet wet with in this industry. Grateful for my time in this truck before getting into a 379. Gotta learn to crawl before you can walk. It’s actually a great truck for the driver. I always enjoyed driving it & it made the tight back-ins much easier for a green driver!

I drive a 2024 International LT and came off a T680 and so far very impressed with it. Good choice considering where the market is currently at and rates.

I trained on an LT. It did the job well. I’d drive that truck, though I’m not picky being a company driver. It’ll make you money, just as long as you and your drivers take care of her. Warn your drivers to watch out for the hump in the overhead of the cab. It’ll ring your bell if you headbutt it, and it’s in the perfect spot for it.

I have only drove an Lt truck twice, but with that being said I would take one. Rides and drives good, quiet cab. Like you said have to do what makes financial sense. New and used truck prices are just too high for the rates of today.

I drive a 2019 LT for my company with the X15 . Not as fancy or flashy as KW or Pete . It gets the job done and gets mid / upper 7 mpg governed at 70mph. Good for the company profits means I can get paid more. Win/Win. In line for a ‘23 in a couple months so I hope the new one runs similar

I just got put into a 2019 LT at work. Had a 3 month old Cascadia that’s having a major oil consumption issue, went back to dealer. I will say I much prefer the International. I could never get comfortable driving the Cascadia, and I hated the loose steering feel. Makes it hard to drive in a straight line, at least in my head lol

Exactly!!! Why pay 30% or more for a truck to get paid the same for each load; Same engine and transmission...The international makes a lot of financial sense. It will take longer to offset the overhead cost if you buy a truck at $250k vs one at $170K.

I love that color. Drivers may not like the truck its self. But its same running gear as others. Also if they are just starting with you i see why not wanting to put them in a 200k plus truck. Maybe they come in work a couple years then you can talk upgrade. But for a start its great. Small places dont have a lot of new. And you sir have a bunch of trucks less then five years. Id drive that fld. But in my eyes its a job and a pay check.

Well you're not wrong about everything you said. You can't blame a man for making the right decisions for his company. With the rates where they are and the price of Petes and Kenworth it's just ridiculous. Now I saw you had a 680. Let's see a review on that one if you would please. And thanks for the 2 videos in one day. Much appreciated.

I bought a brand new T680 NextGen that at least when it was spec'ed it was supposed to have an auto start feature and the electric APU Well guess what after delivery it's missing a few things ....... I did get credit back but still I was expecting it to have the electric APU with the auto start etc On top of that it was also missing the LED headlights I optioned but apparently considering it was built during Or well after COVID they're apparently was part shortages......🤷 More like the mega carriers got their electric APUs and LED headlights While I got stiffed.

I just wonder when all the nonsense is going to end. We also have a 2024 t680. We put a diesel apu on it and so far so good. A few hiccups but nothing completely crazy. I really prefer the kw to the international as far as amenities and the interior finishes, but the prices are just crazy.

People need to get over peterbilt and kws. All you are doing is paying for a name. You could lift the LT cab off and replace it with a 579 cab and no one would be the wiser. Those are wicked Kool specs. 500. 1850. 13sp and 3.08s. Once it gets broken in. With the right driver. That truck should get some really good fuel mileage. You pay enough money and have some Steady Work. Drivers should not be a problem. Stay Safe out There. 🇺🇸

The problem with those trucks is that they bounce all over the road at highway speeds making feel unsafe, you shouldn’t have to work the steering wheel so much to stay in the lane lol otherwise they would be the truck of choice honestly because they are pretty nice. I definitely prefer the lonestar all day.

if you’re going auto, get the 12 speed. i trained on a 10 sp and it’s throttle control was horrible. especially in reverse, you’d easily buck the truck and spin tires no matter how soft on the pedal. 12 sp i had at another company was a lot smoother, controllable. no idea about reliability difference though, think manual is better in that regard
