One problem with older trucks is that today's drivers are pretty useless for trouble shooting simple fixes...steering wheel holders know how to release the brakes and press drive, beyond that they get lost.....i100% agree that older trucks are more reliable. and if you have a small fleet it's the way to go. My last job we ran 98' internationals. Pretty good otr trucks...I drive a 97 Mack now and it has 840,000 miles. Engine has been rebuilt,basic maintance repairs have been done but thats it....simple repair costs are much cheaper vs a truck payment. The other truck is a Mack rd glider with a E7 mechanical. That truck blows black and just makes money...the rears in that glider are from a mid 70's r model that hauled steel all it's life......100% stock never been opened up....
