    Why did they send them back? Can't afford them or too many problems?

    Just curious what kind of trucks did they get? I mainly see eklund running Volvo but I also have seen a few freightliners. Kriete Volvo (local dealership group in Wisconsin) has a horrible reputation so much so that my company and Roehl both refused to do any business with Volvo anymore.

    Said freight was to slow.
    Didn't want to spend the money.

    When I read that your truck had over 400k on it and was a 2020, I didn't know quite how to respond. They trade trucks out at 350k @ the company I work for. Got my third truck back in October 2023 with 260 miles on the odometer.
    Haven't had to scale in over 5 years because my loads are usually between 1k to 8k. The freight is worth nothing, but they pay me handsomely because I'm the senior driver on the account. I was thinking about making a change, but reading threads like these strengthens my appreciate for what I currently have.

    Miles have picked up significantly. Around 3,000 last 3 weeks.
    Only complaint is having to start a 2am because I'm waiting to gain hours back. They loaded me down with 5 trips from Sunday to Tuesday. Only got 4 of them done because of recaps.
