[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 620718, member: 18471"] UPS keeps every piece of equipment till the only thing it's good for is the junkyard. Of course most of these decisions are made by people who drive a desk and wouldn't know a fifth wheel from a steering wheel and don't spend 8-10hrs in a junkyard refugee. Although the chairs in the dispatch office also have missing or chewed armrests, etc. If it has an out of service problem note it on your pre-trip and don't drive it. I'm driving a 15yr old Mack with over 1 million miles on it, as I understand it they don't plan on getting rid of it soon, they just painted it, (I ask what's the saying about lipstick on a pig?). It sure looks pretty from 50ft away, up close you can see the overspray, etc. I kinda wish they spent the money on repairs but that wouldn't help our image, and my tractor wouldn't look so pretty. It seems they've painted a few of them lately. They do seem to have gotten rid of some of the older internationals with the long noses and a lot of short nose internationals, neither one you wanted to bobtail with. [/QUOTE]
