the fld120 was the last truck freightliner built that was made to last. Many mechanics will tell you the detroit series 60 12.7 is the best truck engine ever made. Not the most powerful on the road but a great combination of power, reliability and fuel economy.

My uncle had an FLD when they first come out, that ended up being my first REAL truck and I loved it. Other than the headroom it was comfortable and reliable as hell, I sold it to get my next truck and that FLD is still out there making money.

The Best Value out there for an Owner Operator is an older Truck like this. Myself, I am still operating 38 of the 50 1986 Peterbilt 359's my Dad ordered in 1985. Maintained Meticulously to near perfect condition. They turn Heads wherever they are. After several Engine and Transmission rebuilds and changes. They are documented from 4.6 to 5.2 Million miles. And STILL cost less to operate than anything built today.

Both those guy could not believe that I would " torture myself like that just to learn how to drive a truck.... I guess I didn't care the cat was purring and Jake was a barking.. 84 flt.
