Maintenance cost of a compliant truck alone will out weight the depreciation loss on a glider in my opinion.
Pre DEF gliders?

How about the numerous emissions codes that pop-up on the dash? The DEF warning light (when the DEF tank is full) etc. I've been towed twice because of emissions issues, I.E. DEF failure, EGR failure. Every tow truck driver tells me the same thing, that these new emissions trucks are "good for their business". In fact, one tow truck business told me that they were buying gliders because the newer trucks are unreliable. Every day I drive one of these newer trucks I'm just glad I don't own it. As I see it, I wouldn't own any truck with an engine stamped post-2003. The problem with today's driver is most of them haven't been in the industry for more than ten years so they don't know what it was like to drive something that didn't have emissions issues. The fleet I work for had one truck we called "the shop queen" because it was in and out almost weekly for emissions issues and yes, it was a dealership that couldn't get it right.boneebone and The_Flying_Dutchman Thank this. -
