If it is a DEF truck, you better have the DEF system tested before you buy it, or you might be buying a new DEF system for 10k+ the week after you buy the truck. -

I tried the lease thing for about two months.I got loads but after they took their 25% and fuel cost I might as well be a company driver.They had some of their own contracted loads but otherwise they ran off load boards.
