The vehicle whose VIN and other identifying details are stated above was sold on May 27 by [XXX] , owner of Koza Transportation LLC, to my company, Skyturk Transportation LLC, which I established in the United States. At the time of sale, the vehicle’s mileage was represented as 395,204 miles and supported by video and photographic evidence. However, subsequent investigations revealed that the same vehicle had been listed and sold on April 29 through BidCars with a recorded mileage of 843,194 miles. This clearly shows the odometer was rolled back by the seller or individuals acting with his knowledge. The vehicle, with reduced mileage, was sold to me at a grossly inflated price. It was also later discovered to be a severely damaged/salvage vehicle, a material fact not disclosed at the time of sale.

Semi was traveling on the highway and transporting a 48,000 pound steel coil. The steel coil was secured with 4 chains. The automatic emergency braking system engaged with nothing in front of the vehicle, causing it to suddenly come to a dead stop in traffic.

In this truck, and in other CMVs with down-facing exhaust, and with complete aerodynamic panels, exhaust gases are trapped under the body, and are circulated into the cab. Much worse when parked, but noticeable when driving. I can smell regen soot in the cab when moving at highway speed, meaning that exhaust is getting from the exhaust pipe to the cab interior. This vehicle VIN has this problem, but i have found it to be present in most other newer models of CMV, to varying degrees. The style of exhaust that ends above the roofline (vertical stacks) do not present this problem. This particular vehicle has no auxiliary power unit, so when idling is necessary, enough exhaust makes it in the cab to cause coughing. The down facing exhaust design, coupled with aerodynamic panels that trap and funnel exhaust gases to the interior of the cab, are a critical design...
