Box truck myths #1 a box truck will last 1 million miles.

[@Singhamanus5]

is it ok to buy 2018 box truck freightliner Detroit motor with 175 thousand miles for $39000 ?? Plz reply

[@texgarcia1958]

The miles are low. But I don't know what today's market price should be. Try to get as much history on it as you can.

[@BigFish2023]

Dont get that trash. Get a cummins with a Allison trans box truck. You will loose

[@jaybanksllolllooppopqwawas249]

What would you say about a 500,000 box truck?

[@nordsea_283]

Thanks for the content. Good stuff. Any chance you could share some insight on the Long Island New York Relay box truck market? Amazon just opened another warehouse and plan on up to ten in total.

So what's a good mileage for a used truck and price in regards to a cdl b truck

[@Beachboy562]

Any truck with a million miles will be in the shop. Box truck or Big Rig.

[@sherillsmith6956]

Hey so what’s the best mileage to buy a box truck ?

[@texgarcia1958]

That's a difficult question. If you buy new you can get a cummins B series (6.7) with an extended warranty up to 300,000 miles. So in theory cummins believes in the engine dor 300k right. But yet we find trucks with 300k on them and they advertise that it has a new engine in it. So obviously that one didn't make it Unfortunately medium duty power plants tend to work harder in a Box truck application. The 6.9 Cummins will easily run 500000 to 1 million miles in a pickup truck. Biggest reason is most pick up trucks spend spend their life running around empty. Then occasionally we connected to an RV and we gross 26000 pounds. A Box truck when it's empty weighs more than let's say a one t duly pickup truck fully loaded. But, the Box truck is this big O cube you have to push down the highway. So even empty a Box truck works much harder than a pickup truck. All that being said if you can find one in the 150000 to 250000 mile range you should be in pretty good shape. The problem is in today's market that puts you really close to the price of purchasing a new one. I've been critical of some other KZbin's telling people you can buy a truck with 400000 miles on it and they wouldn't be concerned. I believe at 400000 miles if if a Box truck has been loaded heavy pretty consistently, the engine will be closer to the end of its life.

Thanks again for replying I appreciate it

😃 GREAT!! Information I actually bought a used box truck with high mileage. But I was totally unaware about all of this information. I had to replace the transmission it...and the fuel pump ended up going bad at the beginning of this year. Good thing I made all my money🤑back. Now I have a old truck with a new transmission 😅

[@texgarcia1958]

For 7k you are still ahead of the game. 👌

I’m glad you touched on this there is so many youtubers selling dreams pretty sure they don’t care what happens to the people being hoodwinked they just want to sell courses and mentorship’s that’s there get outta jail free card 😂😂😂

[@texgarcia1958]

I am all about the entrepreneural spirit. However I hate seeing people get misguided. Next thing you know they invested their entire life savings or borrowed from their parents retirement money. Only to see it all lost.

[@ds7218567]

@@texgarcia1958 that’s my life story right there paid 500 dollars for a BS mentorship course which was not accurate at all once I got in this field

[@royn6971]

Great video! I'm considering an investment in a truck. 10+ year company CDL driver. I was OTR, now local/ regional in the Southeast. You were right about trucking changing in the months after you recorded this video. Rates are down.

[@johnbrownlee987]

[@thatfreespiritwitch113]

Then why are you still making your money from it?

[@texgarcia1958]

Making money from what?

[@amadoudiallo2315]

U over price the trucks by x3 in this video trucks ain't that much

[@texgarcia1958]

Back when I made the video, the trucks were 3x over priced. I say that in the video. I made the video because I had just watched KZbinrs saying what they paid for the equipment. It was insane. Now that people are going under, you can find much better deals.
