    Roadside came out to change a tire and asked what year was the trailer. He looked at the metal placard and it said 1982!! Still runs good though. 20250821_194249.jpg

    At $250k and up p/new trailer. You would continue to refurbish your trailers too. Some of the trailers and the tanks at the customers are older than the driver. But when they are maintained. And then refurbished after 5-8 years. They will continuously last and help save over buying new ones.

    Unless it was the job I got hired for Class B bulk driver, those are jobs that are day cabs and slip seated not too many are fond of slip seating. They seemed to run a very thin crew of drivers and definitely did stress cones, going around your truck before entry seat belts anytime you moved the truck at all and you also Wil have to test your product before leaving due to FDA. With zahm and angle bubble documation and testing
