    Faint outline of DOT # on the pictures points towards SCHWEND INC , dry bulk hauler from Florida so should be a good spec for heavy haul loads .

    that's some interesting info I did not know about; maybe that's why the truck is missing a passenger seat, they will install one on monday.

    Could be they swapped the unused passenger seat over to freshen up a shot out driver side and hadn't found a suitable replacement just yet.

    A RigDig report will list the previous owners. If they're still in business and not jerks, they may give you plenty of information.
     
    Lucar Thanks this.

    Call the aforementioned company and give them the vin# of the truck and they might release the maintenance records to you.

    Any oil samples that I have done will tell you if something is high or above normal. Get the report and post it up on here, there are some very knowledgeable people on here when it comes to those.
