Two or three years ago I was loading somewhere near Vancouver when a company day cab showed up to do a preload. He started asking strange questions for a company driver like what to look out for with the Volvo. Turns out he had just leased the truck on the never never. I remember I told him driving city he should change his oil a lot more frequently. He replied that when he asked maintenance about when oil change was due they told him he got lucky and it was just done so he was good for another 80000km. This in a truck that did city work, and before that most likely pulled turn pikes on the prairies, severe service in anyones book. So when someone asks about buying a used fleet truck the best advice I can give is run fast, run far.
