    Don't depend on the price, do your due diligence about buying a truck.

    Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.

    Bought a pete from them and have had headaches from day 1. It's a long story, but the short of it was they lied several times...on their so called dot and after sale reimbursements.

    I've already saved several o.o from buying there.

    I asked because I currently drive one of their lease trucks. I feel the new peterbilts are like prettier internationals. Peterbilts used to be better than anything and now they seem kind of ho hum. I guess after they got bought out they were only interested in reducing cost. Everything on the truck shakes, rattles, and squeaks constantly. Maybe it's just because it's a fleet model but I've heard the same from many driver, usually while where's waiting for our trucks to be fixed.

    I agree with over priced, but a 2.64 is a direct drive ratio with a 10spd, driven properly they get very decent fuel mileage. They did have some used gliders for sale as well.
