Used Swift Trucks

Veriha Trucking has some used gliders for sale.

A couple things I remember from when I worked there...
Most (all?) Swift trucks are 9 speed or autos, I don't remember seeing any 10 speeds there.
Also, the fifth wheel release is on the right side of the truck for some weird reason.

 

From another thread @Midnightrider909 has on TTR ,we know he wants to run 150 000 to 200 000 miles a year.
Don't think it is wise to buy used if your planning to do that many miles.
Combine it with his location and new is the only real option for him.(WA so he needs Cali compliant)
Also he has no real experience off working on the truck himself.(OP used to flip houses)

 

I knew a guy that bought an ex swift truck through Arrow.
It couldn't pass a DOT inspection immediately after he bought it and Arrow gave it a DOT inspection before selling it.

 

Swift trucks currently in some kind of safety recall, their 4ways don't work while backing up--

 

That's a Swift flatbedder, a rare sight. They sometimes get a dry van load when they request home time.

 

Problem is that 400 000 mile trucks will be post '10.
So full emissions,with those full waranty and buying new is the better option in your case.
Also if run it 3 y as a team,it will have around 600 000 at which point you can choose to run less,run it a single driver or trade it.
That's my advice (O/O for 17y)
