2006 International 9400i Eagle. C-15 CAT 10 speed 3:36 rears. Owner operator for Austin Transportation Services out of Daleville Indiana. We all call her "Ol Red" just a little over 1 million miles and still running strong.

MRL Transport owner Mark Ledford today hauls direct freight outbound for customers in part built from his years of ownership of another fleet, since sold after years of growth. MRL in some ways is Ledford's effort to right-size a business for his life today.
