    If I were buying a used truck, I would really like to see the service records for that tractor and would definitely pull an oil sample and have it tested. Good Luck to you driver.

    If you can, you probably would do better buying from an owner operator or from a small Fleet.

    Either will have detailed service records, and not always but most likely the trucks will have been better cared for.
