WARRENVILLE, Ill. (AP) - An Alabama trucking company has ordered 325 International tractors to pull its steel-hauling trailers, the truck and bus manufacturer Navistar International Inc. announced Thursday.

The order came from Boyd Brothers Transportation of Clayton, Ala., which specializes in time-sensitive transportation of steel products and building materials, Navistar said in a statement.
