    Well we want to know what’s happened?

    Personally I’d much rather get thrown into a pre-emissions truck any day over something nearly new. No matter how old the truck is if it’s not maintained it’s going to be junk. There’s tons of guys running trucks 20 years old across the country every day. I’m one of them. Mine has been well taken care of it’s whole life, and I bet you’d be amazed it’s 22 years old if you drove it. Only two things I’d change if I could. One is a S60 instead of the Cat, and two would be a built in table in the sleeper to eat on.

    I understand your concern, I would drive for them now and keep my eyes open for a new job.
    You don't want to be out of work because a company placed you in an unreliable vehicle. How high is the mileage on a vehicle as old as 12 years?!
