That's just ridiculous. What did one of those go for new in 2018, I'm guessing about that much?

Seems like many assume that only one truck owner ops buy trucks. There’s not much you can do if you’re growing and expanding unless you can use power only o/o’s to help you. A friend of mine from home has been growing over the last year and expanding into different areas and for the most part he’s been able to use o/o’s but did buy a couple trucks last year while waiting for the ones he ordered to come in. He’s also bought used trailers to use while waiting for new ones to show up. But he’s also going after contracts that are a million plus gallons of product per week.

It is difficult to say what the fair price on that Cascadia is.
The seller wants too much but then if he finds a buyer to pay it, would it prove that the price was right?
Should the buyer know that the Cascadia is a ticking bomb and the scarcity of certain parts could make it useless for weeks at a time?
Should the seller tell him that?
Even if he is aware, should the buyer roll a dice?
What if that Cascadia is a fluke and runs problem less for the next 200 000 miles and the buyer can harvest all the best rates now and for however long they last before they tank?Keepforgettingmypassword and Rideandrepair Thank this.
