    Anyone else notice the glut of used cascadias if not just trucks in general on the market.,...I just scored a 14 cascadia evosuper clean off primes Prime's fleet 600k miles low idle % and a tripac for 31k ....lol the driver i.m moving into it has been killing me on fuel cost in a classic so this is a free truck to me ....
    Post you current deals . I.m going to updating my whole fleet this next year if the deals are out there still

    good deal but I hope you got all the pm’s done and made sure all scheduled maintenances are performed.


    Usually a repoed truck means owner didn’t have money to perform the scheduled stuff like, valve adjustments, and other things the DD needs every so many miles.

    They are driving slow but pulling reefer only, reefer loads are heavy, foods are water +90%, reefer business means lots of west coast, produce across the mountains from west coast, long heavy pulling sections of highways with max weight loads. I busted 2 motors under 500k miles, pulling produce from west coast, motors run hot pushed to limits. Good luck, i wouldn't buy a 600k, truck that has been operating reefers only, better one with 800k that has been pulling empty light boxes for FedEx,UPS,... on flat roads.

    Realistically speaking how many more miles can someone squeeze out of those cascadias?
