It’s got to be physiological as it stands to reason most of us live in houses where someone has died maybe one of our family or a previous resident and we still live there.
Ive had a couple of trucks over the years where no-one has died in the truck but have been involved in fatal circumstances.
First was an Iveco 190-38 that was originally Irish registered but was involved in a fatal RTA in France , my boss at the time bought it rebuilt and reregistered it, I only found out when the original owner-driver told me.
Second was a Volvo F10 that a German police-cheifs daughter jumped in front of on the A3 near the Black Cat Hill on the way to Frankfurt, original driver changed career after that 
The last one was an ERF that reversed over a child 
again the original driver gave up after that even though he was cleared of any blame.
At the end of the day a truck is just a machine, no point getting emotional about it, although I do have sympathy for all the victims.

Doesn’t it have to be declared though if someone has been killed or has died in a house to a prospective new owner?? 
Driver didn’t pass in the cab but the trailer (heart attack). The unit was recovered to the depot, by which time the whole yard was aware.
The unit was parked up opposite the office with curtains drawn for the rest of that day, after one of the managers cleared the personal property out, and was back on the road the next day.
When I was “on the buses” here in Brisbane, we had a bloke by the name of Mc Sweeney, can’t remember his first name. Anyway, he’d been brought to court in a paddy van from the nick and he escaped. He had a gun and jumped on a bus, got behind the driver and held the gun to his head, telling him to drive. 
Meanwhile, either a copper or a screw came along and shot the prick in the head (the con, not the driver) 
The bus was sent to our depot, cos the ■■■■ weak pricks at it’s original depot wouldn’t drive it. The cleaners must have done a good job, cos I never found any snot or brains around it, not even a blood stain, although the drivers seat was a funny colour.
Now if I’d been the driver, I would have leapt straight up out of the seat, spinning in mid air at the same time, whilst summersaulting, kick the gun out of his hand and put him in a headlock until he agreed to pay his fare. What do you think.
Derby railway locomotive works had an interesting system. If a locomotive had a green sticker on it then it had hit somone, but it was cleaned up. If it was a yellow sticker it was cleaned up as much as possible but some blood etc still remained. If it was a red sticker it was cleaned as much as possible however there were still bodyparts still unaccounted for.
I used to work on loco’s. The smell of cooking human flesh caused by a mig weilder is very distinctive.

Why have I thought of that Blakemore Volvo Fm ((shudder))
That unit never saw the road again, was destroyed shortly after.
Doing agency work in Dublin. I got a job driving a Mitsubishi Canter collecting paper for recycling.
On the front, was a huge dent under the windscreen. On the 1st collection, a customer said.
“Never thought I’d see your crowd here so soon!”
I asked what he meant, and apparently, the driver on their books, had been crushed and killed by it the day before. He hadn’t put the handbrake on and was pinned against a wall. 
This reminds me of not a truck but a Range Rover, the one in the famous Essex boys murders, they kept the Range Rover rebuilt it and valeted it then sold it on for stupid money, one of the guys who owned it got nothing but death threats and was ordered to destroy it but according to DVlA records it was taxed up until Nov 2009 and it still is not Sorn. I know it was on Ebay in 2009
Imagine driving that after the thought of there brains splatted everywhere inside it

Apparently it is owned by somebody from Northampton now…the only reason it was never disposed of after the murders was it was still owned by a finance company who sold it once the police had finished with it…that range rover sat in a police compound from the end of 1995 until it was eventually released for sale in 2001… …it has changed hands quite a few times since it was released…it was flashed by a gatso about 2yrs ago…ive seen the piccys.
there’s a guy on landyzone.co.uk who says he owns it and is rotting in his yard in essex.

I’ve seen pictures of the guys in that range rover, they’re not pretty. It should have been destroyed.

Thats madness just looked at the pictures of when they were found from that other web address on there
Served them right. They were NOT nice people.Don’t look if you are squeamish!
Surprised the powers that be never changed the identity, ie, the registration plates on the Range Rover prior to it being sold and after the investigation.
We (police contractors) had a Range Rover in a few years ago, was a top-of-the-range AutoBiography jobbie. Stolen Vehicle Squad were interested in it because it looked like it had the chassis number altered, yet there were no other serial numbers anywhere else on the vehicle. Gearbox, engine, subframe serial numbers had all been removed.
Turned out it once belonged to Princess Diana, and the chassis number was changed with the DVLA’s authority.
Apparently they do this with all ex royalty cars now, to stop people profiteering from them.
Police and DVLA confirmed the guys Rangie was legit and he got it back
