Truck Info

[big guy]

Anyone have information, good or bad, about the Sterling 960 Express trucks? Am considering changing trucks. How about the Mercedes MBE 330 engine? Any help would be appreciated.

Check out past posts there has been a lot of comment about this. Fuel economy has been good, but some electrical problems I have heard.
For my money, I would rather have a wet-sleeve Cummins ISC 300 or 315 (pending on transmission option). If you want the Sterling product, see if they can talk you into the 8500 and Cat C9- my choice...

The Sterling is a good truck. I've got one with a team in it with over 160k miles and other than EGR problems it's been excellent. One of the best things about the Sterling trucks is you get to work with Jon Mosier at FL Knoxville. He's a stand up guy. Whatever he tells you is what/how it is. He's one of two truck people I'd work with and I've tried working with several so I know what makes a stand up guy. Good luck to you.
