We ran trucks for 12 years avg 365 thousand miles a year. So 4.3 million on them when we sold the company. They ran them longer still. Few engine swaps and transmission changes. But keep going.

As long as it gets you from point A to point B that's all that matters,lol.

I had to drive a truck with 1.8 million on it last company Iworked for they liked running bald tires to its a smaller outfit but they advertise for owner operators on almost every trucking website .

I love it! I just realized I made a big mistake with my first post (and read right past the replies regarding it), the truck is an '07, not a '97. Oops! Bill
jomar68 Thanks this. -
what fleet are you in and does it have an APU?
-
US and Canada. APU but no DEF. Bill
jomar68 Thanks this. -
you're on the US fleet so.. you might get a newer truck after a couple of months, i think the older trucks are for regional runs. they're just trying you out
