    I did some Local work in Detroit 24 yrs ago. Biggest problem is Rail Yards themselves and employees. And then there was that Container loaded with peat moss that blew 4 tires when sat onto Chassis. Don’t think much has changed except for higher volume. Lots of ads to work nights home every day. I don’t think so. Not Me

    Once a week? Once a month? Only at oil changes?

    That goes for any type of "hauler". Look at the big megas. Both of my sons have drove for a couple of them. 50,000 oil change intervals. 30,000 mile grease intervals . Keep them clean and shed of them in 4 years. I agree lots of can haulers drive trash. But i will park my 2001 379 beside any one of the trucks you have for comparison. Within reason of course, not a new trk. Two to four newer or older.
