    Stoods has many Heartland Express Fleet trucks for sale. I have found one with 191k miles and they want $130k for it. Who knows how often this fleet do oil changes ? I liked the truck because it's fantastic clean, manual, Meritor rears and there is no ######## (adaptive, colision, blablabla) in the truck.. What do you think about this deal? They also have units with 330k-350k miles for $120.

    I agree with you but i need a truck. I just sold my 2012 Cascadia with 1.2million miles in Cali. I got $37k for it. Insane amount for that truck.

    ))) buddy afterthreatment problems are not problems for me. I don't want to buy a truck with worn main and rod bearings , rings. That's why i was asking about oil changes.

    there’s some cascadias in Memphis at Tag freightliner, Southern trucks out of memphis, I bought one of theirs in 19, only minor issues like DEF doser valve and a couple sensors that, now have 631k miles.
    Lonestar Truck Group / TAG Truck Center > Sales > Truck-Details

    granted when i bought mind it was 43k
    They service theirs and wash them, if a driver comes in with truck fender or bumper torn off the fire the driver, so they usually don’t have issues

    I checked few trucks at TAG. All of them had Detroit rears. I don't want them because i see problems with Detroit axles. They are actually junk Alliance axles rebranded.
