    I haven’t washed this truck since I bought it 2 and half years ago.

    Doesn’t hurt that it’s sat in the pole barn for the last 2 years

    Unbelievably it’s not too dirty and still shines, not bad for 24 year old factory paint. E357F30B-4380-4B7A-8716-2C55E03F01B5.jpeg

    Thanks. Doors need a little touch up. We're probably gonna take em off and re do em this summer. Next year the 99 is gonna be the same paint scheme.

    Rates are up, so I'm going to run hard. I drive a 22 year old Freightliner and I barely have time to get my PM done each month, much less sit in line at a Blue Beacon!

    I don’t care how high rates go I’m not sacrificing maintenance for work especially this time of year, salt kills trucks

    True class is when they still look good just a little dirty, ya know cause they are a work truck. So many go over board and put too much clutter on one that takes away from it. Course we all have and are entitled to our own thoughts of what’s cool.

    i have a feeling mine is going to be looking dirty this week. so far only ran it in one rain storm and got it washed right away, just washed the dust off this weekend only to notice that it was going to rain all day today and then snow tomorrow and i have to be on the road tomorrow........not looking forward to that.
