[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4712171, member: 77939"] To the OP: Welcome to just about ANY transportation company. Take a look at how crappy some of the brand spanking new Amazon trucks look. Beat up and damaged. Which will just get worse. As was said, vehicle utilization is a complicated algorithm filled with all manner of tax considerations, depreciation and on and on. Even climate change is figured in there along with whose palm UPS greases. My last tractor used 12-15 qts of oil everyday until I got a "new" one with 500,000 miles on it. Our last of the old generation tractors were sent to remote centers to be used as shifters.....still going. We started getting "nicer" tractors from Mack when they refused to "detune" Ups tractors. It was not cost effective for them(Mack) to make bare bones, strident and plain units that UPS wanted. My current tractor is "Star Wars"technology- what dreams are made of....you know a radio, power windows and omg a push button fifth wheel release! [/QUOTE]
