[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 665172, member: 22662"] Speaking strictly of the driver in question, his driver's liscense was suspended for 2 months. Since that was the case, he could not drive. Not because Fedex said he couldn't, but because the state said so. As for the Ground vehicles for sale, I would say three things. First simply growth. There have always been people coming in, deciding contracting wasn't for them and getting out. Since Ground is getting bigger I would suggest that number would also. Second, contractor strategy. I myself have toyed the idea that it simply isn't worth keeping old trucks on the road. Mind you when I say "old" I mean past a six year lease period. Soon after that (2-3 years) it almost seems like one may as well be making a truck payment with all the repair bills mounting. And of course it's almost always nice to drive a new truck. The problem with this for me is that I don't really trust the new technology in vehicles. Seems to me they've gone too far with the electronics and computer technology to where it's become an Achilles heal in the new trucks. Third. If you could provide me a link to where you see the "fire sale prices" I would be grateful. I might consider such a purchase although my favorite vehicles are still the '98-03 Internationals.
