    I like the old Ford trucks it's a shame they don't make them any more that one is a Ford LTL 9000 which was Ford's owner operator type truck. The big fleets always bought the Aeromax LT 9000 or L9000.

    The Ford LTL 9000 was different then the Aeromax the LTL 9000 was more I think higher end owner operator type truck:

    Much flashier color wise and more custom specified.

    You still see some around most are used around here for dump trucks and stuff like that.

    Same with me, my old Columbia broke down years ago so my company gave me a loaner Aeromax. I was not impressed, made me feel sorry for Conway drivers. Lol

    I always thought the Ford CL9000 was a interesting truck, especially when equipped with the 4 way air ride cab option.

    Industry Statistics would suggest he didn't make it 12 months after that picture was taken with Werner. Lol
