Werner running Internationals?

[Midnight Flyer]

While driving too and from central Texas a few weeks ago to visit my daughter for Thanksgiving I noticed several Werner International Cornbinders on the interstates. Since when did they start running Internationals?

[GMAN]

I haven't noticed any Internationals in their fleet. Perhaps they got a good deal or they are just trying them to mix it up a bit. I have certainly gotten good service out of my International.

Yeah GMAN, Internationals are good trucks. Rugged as hell and built like a tank.

i've been noticing them here for the past few months.. maybe 3 months? i dont see many of them.

Same here - I've seen them in a few Prostars lately.

[Hawkjr]

I've seen Werner in every make except for Western Star's and Macks..

International Prostars
Freightliner Cascida, Classic, Century, and Columbia
Peterbilt 379 and 387
Volvo 780
Kenworth T600 and those new one which i don't know the model number

that's what i kind of like about Werner, to bad they are an OTR company, if they had the right Dedicated account i get at em...

Most of the Werner trucks I see are Freightliners and 379's.

Hawkjr, I don't know about your area, but most of the Werner trucks I see (west Texas) are pulling Dollar General trailers. I'm assuming those are dedicated runs.

Here in western Arkansas I see Dollar General trailers pulled by both Werner and Schneider.

I would like to see more of the Lone Stars. Those are really nice trucks.

Those Lonestars are AWESOME trucks. Saw one on I-35 in Texas a few weeks ago and that dude was decked out like you wouldn't believe, GMAN. Most likely set that driver back at least $150,000.

[GMAN]

I have heard those Lone Stars are pretty pricey, Midnight Flyer. I have seen a few of them around, but perhaps the price tag keeps them from selling more of them. I heard that they are the most aerodynamic truck on the market today. But then I spoke with a guy from Freightliner who wanted to sell me a new Cascadia who told me that the Cascadia was the most fuel efficient truck on the market. Given the two I would opt for the Lone Star. I just like the look of them much better. But then I have no intentions of buying a new truck of any kind at this point.

[Jackrabbit379]

I saw a Lone Star at the local International dealer a while back. I took a couple pictures of it. As far as seeing one on the highway, etc, I haven't.

CalArk out of Little Rock has 5 of them on the road right now, three "Brimstone Red" and 2 "Royal Blue". Safety Award trucks.

There is a "Can-hauler" in New Orleans driving a black one....$148K is what he said he paid for his. It has the 19" lcd tv with blue ray, Dell slim-line computer and a Tripac apu.


I saw one monday in Chicago, that had a company name I can't remember...it was out of Michigan and was pulling a hopper bottom.


I can't afford the payments...so I don't gotz one.

I can't imagine anyone going into that much debt with this economy. I hope they have some really good contracts. To tell you the truth, I don't think that I would want to get that much into debt if the economy was doing well. That is a lot of money for a truck.

I heard you on that GMAN. If a truck has a sticker price of say $148,000 the minute you drive it away from the lot it depreciates a couple of grand before you've driven a block! As you once said a truck is just a tool to make money. A cheapo socket set can do the same job and just as well as a big name brand set of socket wrenches. The same way with a truck.

Add the new Pete 386, the Kenworth W900, and T660 to that list.

As y'all may know, the Classic XL, 379, and W900L are on the way out, as are the Century's.

To answer the original question, around the middle of this year was when the ProStars took to the road for us. The first ones had TriPacs, but the newer ones don't. They only have fuel-fired bunk heaters. (One of my trainers just got one from Omaha, and it's already headed for the shop to repair a leaking roof)

Hawk, you're in the wrong neck of the woods for the 'right' dedicated account. Dollar General and Family Dollar should be available where you are, but that's about it.
