    Hey Guy's, looking to purchase a used semi and flat bed. Are any of the fleet trucks worth looking at more so than another? Read good and bad on all of them. Looking mainly at Schneider but not limited to anyone. Or if none of the fleet trucks, any other sales group better than any other or any to stay the hell away from?

    Thanks for the input.

    There's a wealth of information on this topic, Chief. I wouldn't buy a fleet truck for a couple reasons, mostly because of PM service at 40K miles, entry level drivers, and less than top mechanics. I'd shop on Ritchie Bros auction site, for equipment and for pricing. I don't see myself using Truck Paper ads much.

    stay away from cummins isx, the price on parts will bankrupt you. Volvo parts are overpriced too.
