Being born into a 5 digit odometer world and growing up around people who learned every way possible to suss out mileage - this seems nuts to me. How could they think that zero people would suspect and investigate an odometer swap?
Past that, how could so few company mechanics notice a discrepancy between mileage and wear - that no whistleblowers came forward?

- delfinom 3y agoCompany mechanics don't give a fuck that's why, either they are underpaid and/or underpressure to get as many vehicles done each night as possible. (Read up on how the mechanics trade works in general and its pretty shit, mechanics are often paid on minimum wage + "commission" on amount of work rushed through). It's not a field that people are going to stick their necks out and make themselves unhirable either. In this case FedEx outsources the work to a fleet management services company to remove even more liability from themselves.
