I’m currently in the process of searching for heavy used trucks for sale and I’d love to hear some suggestions from this community. I’m not tied to any single brand right now, so I’m open to exploring different makes and models depending on performance, durability, and price. Does anyone here have recommendations on where I can find good listings—should I be looking more at online marketplaces, auctions, or local dealers?

When it comes to heavy used trucks, what are the top things you usually check before making a purchase? Is mileage more important than age, or is a strong maintenance record the key factor? I’ve heard that certain trucks are better suited for construction jobs, while others handle long-haul transport more effectively. Any insights on that would be really helpful.

Also, how do you determine if the asking price is actually fair? Do you compare with online valuations or negotiate based on the truck’s condition? Lastly, has anyone here had good or bad experiences with warranties or service guarantees when buying used heavy trucks?
