Used fleet trucks- good or bad

Reddit - Construction 1 min read

About this article

I’ve had 3 trucks in 3 years blow there engine with regular maintenance. I want to invest in a truck with lower miles and I’m wondering if a used fleet truck would be good. I’m looking at ones around 50,000 mile range but I’ve read that even though they get regular maintenance, due to excessive idling the miles aren’t very good representation of the condition of the engine. Any advice would really help. I’m just tired of having these breakdowns causing holdups in my schedule. submitted by /u/...
