I'm sure most Megas do the Lease/Fleece thing with their aging trucks. But has anyone had any luck buying straight up from a Mega? Good experience or bad? Looking for ideas on where to purchase my first truck if I choose to go O/O.
Do the large OTR companies sell to individuals?

My son had bought a few used trucks from WERNER when he started out on his own , then a few from PRIME , had no problems with any of them .
Knight , Celadon , SNI , JB HUNT as well as SWIFT also have their own equipment sell off departmentsxlsdraw Thanks this. -
My last company would sell them in groups and usually some sucker used truck salesman would buy them to pawn off on someone else.
I remember one driver had a truck that overheated all the time. I think it had a cracked head. Instead of fixing it they put it up for sale. I come into the yard and there is the new owner he had two trucks piggybacked on the one that overheated. I felt bad for him and told him I wouldn't pull with that truck. Evidently he didn't take my advice. I left with my next load and saw him on the side of the road about 20 miles away. I told you so! -
Melton and Maverick both keep their trucks in top shelf shape and trade them with 3-500000 miles on them. Excellent affordable starter trucks.

Aside from gear grinding Prime trucks are too gutless to suffer drivetrain damage from abuse.

Unless you ACTUALLY have driven 1 then your comment is just another PRIME HATER COMMENT !
