    If there's a db Truck that's already at a terminal that you want try calling the terminal manager or a dispatcher. They will probably give you a heads up on it.

    The email I received from them said they have a gold/platinum warranty on their trucks.

    Some have a engine warranty... Some. But it's only on hard parts.
    Anyone tells you it has anything about a warranty, make them put it in writing. What it covers, who did the work, how long it's good for.. And best of all. Where it can be repaired.

    A lot of the trucks have a warranty on the engine, Trans, and/or rear ends. You will have to ask what is covered. The warranties they do have are good at Peterbilt or Kenworth and Cummins or Cat, depending which you have. Plus for the first couple months DB will honor most anything on the truck. Keep in mind it's a used truck, so inspect it.

    I disagree with you on that.. My supposedly drive line warranty went out three weeks after I got the truck.. Come to find out, I never had one. Was told peterbilt did all the work.. Now I have paperwork where peterbilt did the engine and another shop put new bearings and seals in the Trans and rears.
    Anyone says anything about warranty, ask for the paperwork on what was done, and everything I posted.. And have it in writing and signed and dated.

    Oh yeah, I agree with you there - ask questions first and get a print out for each warranty. That's how I know I have 13 months left on my motor. And nothing left on the tranny and pumpkins. Plus I found the Mack dealer by my house honors the warranty on my Cummins :D

    Wish you guys well and good luck.. I turned in my bucket of bolts and bought my own.

    Makes no sense paying 5 years on a truck that is already falling apart... Add that to the fact qc takes way to much... Not smart business. I'm already booked on a West coast run at 2.00 mile plus 30 cents a mile in fuel surcharge.
