How much Idle time is too much?

[Waterloo]

No, that is not a good deal... And stay away from the LoneStar, too many odd ball parts. You are in a odd spot, if you purchase the truck here in the US, yes, take it to Mr Hagg in Atlanta and get it fixed and tuned and then shipped. Are you exporting the truck to Jamaica?

If you are...

Stick with the Cummins motor, as they have the parts distribution system you will be needing in the future, and the ability to fix on your own.

I do not know what most outfits use in Jamaica, but I would assume a PACCAR product or Freightliner would be easier to get parts for. I do not know what is popular there, nor the dealership structure for obtaining OEM parts. This opens an entirely new can of worms...

We need more info, as we have folks all over the planet on here that may be able to help you make the best decision on what to purchase.
