Werner running Internationals?
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?

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.

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.

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.
