Not enough info
wis bang and Arctic_fox Thank this. -
Do you have. Maintenance records, diagnostic report, doser valve (s) replaced. Filters clean, egr tuneup, did you drive it. Auto trans or manual, do not buy a auto too much money to repair. Extended warranty, oh yeah stay away from select truck
Seems to me you are not knowledgeable enough..................Arctic_fox Thanks this. -
Not a truck expert, but I’d say the odds of a Walmart fleet truck being driven and treated professionally is higher on average than most units for sale. APU is a nice perk and probably still fairly low hours.
In my experience company driving, freightliners are usually fairly reliable past the point where that warranty would financially offset the benefit of an APU and Walmart professionalism. Walmart sells trucks due to age and isn’t looking to get one over on someone. That other truck might have been traded in because of undisclosed issues, but maybe not. Who knows -
Arctic_fox Thanks this.

Probably a horse a piece, quite frankly, neither. The Walmart truck is tired and the other, Selectruck I'd run in the other direction. There are countless O/Os selling their treasured KWhopper, and can tell you honestly what they did to it. Not sure why you would go this route. This is right around the mileage companies get new trucks. You'll find out why.
Opendeckin, wis bang, Sons Hero and 1 other person Thank this. -
Sure you get decent used rigs. Then you get rigs like my own pete. And you dont know which until you own it and put it to work. Just be aware of that. -
Probably the Walmart truck if I really had to pick, over the next 5 years though you will probably wind up doing better on just biting the bullet on a new one, emissions trucks aren’t something you want to keep long term
Midwest Trucker and Opendeckin Thank this. -
Honestly, neither of them. If I was forced to choose, the Walmart truck. With this kind of miles, You’re heading into all sorts of grief with the emission system, I wouldn’t touch either of them for what they’re asking for them, go buy a brand new one, or an old truck from a retiring O/O that can tell you for an hour every nitty gritty detail about it.
201, Isafarmboy and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
