  1. Again we were running our trucks about 180k miles a year. 2012 2013 both had transmission issues and constant engine issues from 500k on. We had injector issues, turbo issues, emission issues constantly. We finally were able to trade them in At 600k . Was so glad to get rid of them. My concern with my 2015 freightliner is making sure it gets driven. Trucks that sit are just asking for problems. Even though I wiill only put about 10k miles a year on it it needs ti be driven frequently.
  2. I agree it's ok but not great. First ALL of the volvos we have start having issues at 600k. Having the transmission changed is a huge plus. The other issues are all emission related to the def system. All sorts of sensors seem to fail around the 600k mark. And if the truck sits then more issues pop up. Being able to go over the truck with a fine tooth comb is worth a lot of money compared to buying at the Ritchie brothers auction. Take it to a dealer and have then go through it to see if it meets trade terms. Money well spent plus you will be using them for several things as you single it. Read up on trade terms. They are published. Do not buy a 2012 or 13 period. Worst two years of trucks we ever ran. Also the safety of adaptive cruise just keeps getting better in the newer trucks. Also dont forget to look at engine hours to make sure the truck wasn't idled to death.
