[QUOTE="Sick_of_FedEx, post: 1193389, member: 49520"] Maintenance will vary tremendously depending on a number of variables. The make, model, mileage and condition of the vehicles. And, the routes they run. Are they in-town or rural? Dirt or paved roads? Long rural routes with dirt roads will increase your maintenance tremendously - they eat up tires and rattle everything loose. I did $28,000 on maintenance in 2012 on just 3 trucks. I'm running 4 trucks this year and in the first 8 months of 2013 I have spent over $46,000. That includes, tires, oil changes, transmission work, broken windshields, oil leaks, injectors, fuel pumps, etc... A Freightliner P1000 should get 750K miles or more if well maintained. If you are purchasing routes from FedEx, don't do it. You will rue the day. [/QUOTE]
