Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we are joined by Tim Livingstone, Fleet Facilities and Fuel Manager at Kriska Transportation Group, to discuss their fleet’s experience with the International S13…
So we were, you know, excited to, one, try the new S13 with all the claims that it was able to make.
Like you would expect with any kind of new truck that there might be some issues.
We ran into a couple wiring chassis issues, things that were addressed within the first month of having the truck, which, you know, at the end of the day was quickly rectified by the dealerships.
In terms of drivers and how they've reacted to it, it's been positive all around.
The truck has worked out well in terms of, you know, what previous history might have alluded to, you know.
So, you know, I think we've kind of all like... had a big, you know, sigh of relief in the sense of, okay, you know, maybe this is good.
So I think overall it's been, it's been positive, um, but still lots to, to see in terms of, you know, the longevity and the reliability, that sort of thing for sure.
I know even some of our demos, we're getting feedback and trying to get the driver's feedback as far as, you know, with the change, right? There's so many different powertrains out there.
So one, you know, one feedback was, you know, the radio is very clear, which tells me that the whole engine and powertrain is very quiet, right? So that's kind of what it is.
That's kind of feedback we're getting from some of the drivers, at least on the demo side.
