Jim Allen's 'Freedom Truck' International COE honors veterans

Jul 21, 2023

Jim Allen, the president and CEO of Karmak, bought this 1991 International 9670 last year and had it wrapped to honor veterans and first responders. As reported in a story last year by Overdrive sister publication Truck, Parts, Service, Allen bought the truck to learn more about how truck drivers do the jobs they do, and to help him better communicate with his customers in the dealer and aftermarket segments. Allen's "Freedom Truck" is powered by a Cummins motor with an Eaton-Fuller transmission.
