Kenworth with 1,034,000 miles

Roll the dice. How do you determine the truck and engine are in good condition. You need to do some more extensive diagnostics to make those determination. If a overhaul hasn't been it should be.
That phrase "if ain't broke don't fix it". That is not maintenance on machinery. Do you have maintenance records for the truck?

 

28k for that is way to much. That’s a 10k truck at best.

engine and tranny is the least of your worries. Think about the after treatment system as well, that alone coasts as much as an engine overhaul to fix sometimes if it has one. If not then was it done properly?

 

Way to many miles, and $28k is too much as well. I would stay away from it. Repairs that you cannot afford will bury an owner operator.

 

Have you checked the freight market these days? Nevermind the junk equipment. To start in a bad market with a million mile truck could spell a very short time being your own boss. Hope you have lots of money in the bank.

 

Please for the love of God tell me you're not gonna pull containers with it. Run don't walk away
