    The title says it all. Trying to find a nice dump truck (starter) for myself and im not trying to spend 150k. But want reliability and good dealers or brand ideas?

    Hawk the internet!
    Maintenance is the key to buying any used truck.
    A few months back i noticed a late 90's Petebilt Tri axle for sale in NY on craigslist, owner had all maintenance records since new, trucked looked clean and had a video in the ad.
    the ad read it had 1.23 million miles but in the video it really had 123,000 miles, owner goofed in the ad and i guess nobody looked into it because of the advertised mileage, they were asking 35K or best offer, the video is still on Youtube.
