    sounds like a nice truck being that you say under 400k miles i assume over 350k must have been a team truck to get that many miles on it if its a 2014?

    They will not take O/O with their own trl. Plus I believe he bought a reefer trl.
    I was one of the last O/o's back in 2008 with their own trl. That was short lived on that deal.
    I think their is only one guy left with his own trl. there, but he ends up pulling their trls. more than his.

    Long story short, don't haul the freight for less than the operating costs of the truck.
