Choose one for your first truck

I like to think O/O spec'd trucks are generally going to have been treated better. Obviously because an O/O (should) care more about the truck.
For a little more than that columbia you could get this solid series 60 Detroit.

Schneider has a used truck lot in Atlanta.

$15k for million mile Freight Shaker is prob the going rate. Keep looking at the market for em. $30k is a lil steep

 

You would think an oo would take good care of their equipment, but unfortunately that isn't always the case. Lots of oo's pulling buck twenty a mile freight right now, and on that kind of rate, just how good can they be taking care of their equipment?

Moral of the story, no matter who owned the truck before, do a very thorough inspection on it.

 

Very true.
Also amazing how some guys can treat equipment maintenance aside, company or OO.
You know who I'm talking about, the guys with 30 McDonald's bags littered all over the floorboards. Disgusting.

 

get some Freightliner with Detroit 60 12.7 pre emission for about $10K
the other $10K put in immediate overhaul
this will be success 100%
