All I can think is "why would you replace every odometer if you weren't committing fraud?". Like that costs money and time to do. Were they all broken and needed replacing?

And if you aren't committing fraud and there's a reasonable reason to do this, why not do it just before sale? Why drive another 100k on them afterwards?

It's just so dumb and obvious.

Some odometers have common problems. For several years Toyota's digital odometers had a bug that caused them to stop counting at 299,999 miles. Porsche's mechanical odometers from the late 1970's through the mid 1980's had a plastic gear that tended to strip out and cause them to stop counting at some random point.

It is possible FedEx's odometers all came from the same supplier and all had a MTBF of around 300,000 miles - which would explain driving another 100k miles before selling the trucks when they reach 400,000 miles.
