What bothered me was I can't get any real answers about these trucks.

Was the Q...Can these truck survive the industry?
If so, you could survive in a old volkswagon bus if you could find work for it.. International has been building trucks for a long time,,Penske has been getting rid of trucks for a long time and there are reasons for it..Maybe they dump em before they become money pits??? I dont know why or when they turn their fleet. I never attended one of the auctions but Im thinking they dont sell for alot?? What are they selling for after the conversion??
Maybe these trucks will suit your needs..maybe they wont,,I cant answer if it will work for you..Are you ok with no air-ride, Hyd brakes,, If team operation is your parnter ok with no air-ride in the sleeper,a smaller freight box???
Need more info on your possible lease.Any warranty,,who warrantys it? is it a national warranty or do ya gotta take to Mississauga where they are being converted? Like I said before, Try to dig up some of the ppl that turned em back in and try to figure out why. Find some that are running and find out whats good or bad about them.
I will say in my opion alot of these expite trucks we run including mine the M-2 F/Liner even tho it was set up as an Expite truck from day 1, I dont think they are heavy enought for over the road work as we use em..thats why I say alot will depend on the operator as to how much service ya get out of it and if you yourself can help with maintaining it.
