We have already been shopping around for a new addition, looking at some Kenworths.  Met a driver the other day and he was pushing 2m miles on his Kenny. Always weighing pros and cons with hotshot and semis. Agreed on that YouTube part, they definitely make it too good to be true and definitely lie about how much money they make. I guess at the end of the day, everybody wants to look good, just wish people were more raw and truthful. \n\nSemi trucks might be the way to go but I would like to have a variety of trucks/trailers in our fleet, every single one has a purpose. \n\nThank you for sharing your personal experience on here, I love reading what everyone goes/has gone through to get where they are in the trucking industry today.

","text":"Something I’ve learned along the way is that it’s much easier, less stressful, and potentially more profitable in the long run to buy new (or newer) trucks. It’s been my experience that trucks begin to fall apart after about 350k miles. Before I got my own authority, I leased low mileage trucks (50k-250k miles) and never had any serious problems for 4 years. The problems I did have were very minor, like coolant leaks from a pierced hose, air leaks, etc. These are simple fixes that are even preventable. It wasn’t until I bought my first truck of 350k miles that for the first time I started to have lots of problems. At the time I had no serious mechanical knowledge of these trucks or what typical fails, so I was learning as the truck aged. I followed a few mechanic YouTubers who showed me common problems with these trucks and it helped a lot, but in the end and with what I know now, it’s much easier to just buy new (preferably pay it fast or in cash) and sell the truck at around 400-600k miles and then buy another truck and repeat. This is the method of mega carriers, although they usually sell at no more than 500k.\n\nWith this method, what you’re really doing is paying for “mechanical services” in advance and a much smoother business (especially the first 300k miles from a new truck). This is also particularly important for new owner operators who don’t yet have enough knowledge about these trucks and engines and how to perform maintenance that goes “beyond” what is found in the manufacturer’s maintenance manual. This requires research and experience with these trucks. A new owner operator already has their hands full having to learn the business and the least you want is another “big problem,” that is, dealing with problematic trucks that much more often than not plague older trucks. A truck that is in the shop just 1 week equals to several thousands of dollars in income losses. \n\nNow, I am not saying that one cannot be successful with older trucks, say, over 500k miles, but it takes certain very experienced owner operators who’ve been in the business for many years and so they’re familiar with these trucks. Unfortunately, new owner operators won’t be in the same situation and getting a used truck could end up resulting in quitting the business because there’s a point when all the problems of the business overpowers you. So this is why I recommend new owner operators to try to keep the business more simplistic. A newer (or new) truck will do that.","replyToPid":432897}
