How many miles is too many on a used semi truck?

A well-maintained semi truck engine is built to run 750,000 to over 1,000,000 miles before a major overhaul. Mileage alone isn't the right filter — service history, engine condition, and whether the truck has had any major powertrain work matter more. A 600,000-mile truck with documented maintenance and recent engine work can be a better buy than a 400,000-mile truck with no service records.

Should I buy a day cab or sleeper semi truck?

It depends on your operation. If your routes are regional or local and drivers return home nightly, a day cab is the more practical and cost-efficient choice — it's lighter, simpler, and less expensive to maintain. If you're running long-haul or OTR freight where drivers spend nights on the road, a sleeper provides the comfort and compliance with hours-of-service regulations that an OTR operation requires.
