What happens to old rigs?

Interesting, I wonder how many drivers in some of the poorer countries become truckers for the living quarters? Does it make you a better prospect? "Hey baby, I got a condo cab Freightliner!"

 

In term of pay scale, i think it above average. But becoming a truck driver is not something that everybody can do or want to do. " better prospect"? Yes, unless you become a boss.
They used to have cab over Freightliner, international,... But now conventionals with studio are taking place. And the law doesn't allow trucks live more than 25 years of age.

 

Most carriers won't let you lease on if your truck is older than X number of years, usually between 5 and 10.

 

What year is she? E6 300+ or is she an early e7 mech. Cool beans man. Were thinking about turning the 93 ch into a fully mechanical

 

(I was referring to getting a wife, not a job. I'll go stand in the corner now)

 

Howdy All,
