[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2358188, member: 58386"] Indeed, motorized transportation equipment are among the fastest depreciating pieces of equipment known to the U.S.economy and is one of the leading cost factors X divested itself of. As for the older equipment I agree the old 7.3L Ford/IH, the old 5.9 Cummins along with the Allison 1000 and 2400 's were the best friends a X contractor ever had. If the exact maintenance requirements were met as set forth by the manufacturers you could get a half a million miles out of them before overhaul or replacement. As for the newer generation equipment many independent garage owners refuse to work on them. Not because of a lack of knowledge but rather the never ending headaches that goes with having to fix the same things over and over again not to mention the suspension issues due to constant overloading which will get worse as X continues to steal more and more motor freight off the LTL's and puts it on these one ton chassis"s.
