Truck Conversion & Toterhome Community - View Single Post - Fed Ex Custom Critical truck as conversion candidate

I've noticed the Fed Ex Custom Critical HD straight trucks with large sleepers over the years. Saw another big one today. I did some research on the Fed Ex web site and discovered that the owner-operators who lease to Fed Ex Customer Critical cannot use a truck more than five years old.

Then I searched to find one for sale and couldn't find any. Where do these trucks go after five years?

Rather than build the motorhome conversion from the bare frame up, has anyone ever considered using a large box already on a large straight truck? What are the downsides of doing that?

Thanks!
