i think they do that for convenience bc a truck between 0k and 400k miles doesn't need much attention, and anything other than basic fluid and lube would be covered under warranty anyways. they give up the extra they could make with paid off equipment by trading in for new ones around 400k, in the same way i give up extra now for the convenience of having to do absolutely n o t h i n g except pick loads and do maintenance research. megas would lose more in their reputation with equipment on the verge of needing major overhaul, without knowing exactly when a particular unit would need to be pulled off the road and need major attention, with so many trucks in the fleet they'd have a lot of trucks dropping off the grid all the time needing major work, all over the place, it would be a mess.

Exactly.
..the biggest part is the "extra money to be made" is like playing scratch off lottery, it's just not consistent enough for a business model. that's why they don't do it.
