I’m looking to buy a used either a Volvo or freightliner sleeper. Automatic. I can go up to $30k. Out of these brands which year model and mileage would you recommend buying. I’ve heard the older versions for both these brands are good. I’m only looking at these two brands NO other brands. Thank you
Which truck

Old truck with an automatic transmission is a bad idea. I have 3 and all have been converted to manual (easy job if its autoshift with clutch)

I second the opinion on Freightliner for your first truck. There's a shop on every corner. But if you can find a Volvo with a Detroit engine, that should still be decent.
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -

$30k doesn't buy much truck. Anything newer will be on the threshold of needing $30k worth of emission repairs in the first year. Anything pre-emission is going to need $30k in repairs on everything else.
